Grammar and Vocabulary26’‎ Section A 16’‎ Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. ‎ ‎(A)‎ A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he 17 (admire) a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was ____18 ___ he wanted.‎ As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, _____19 _ the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study and handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a Bible, with the young man's name 20 (mark) in gold. Angrily, he stormed out of the house, 21 (leave) the Bible.‎ Many years passed and the young man had become very successful in business. He realized his father ____22 (get) now old, and thought perhaps he should go to see him. However, before he 23 make arrangements, he received a mail telling him his father had passed away.‎ When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and was about to turn pages 24 a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had wanted. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.‎ ‎(B)‎ Some people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day. I'm not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad-tempered and I have trouble 25 (remember) things. ‎ How do you feel after you've stayed up late 26 (finish) schoolwork? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.‎ New research suggests that a gene 27 (call)“period 3”affects how well you function without sleep. The gene comes in two forms：short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.‎ Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had 28 two short or two long copies of “period 3”. Study participants had to stay awake 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests 29 measured how quickly they pushed a button when numbers flashed on screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.‎ Results showed that the people with the short form of“period 3”performed much 30 (well). In both groups，people performed worst in the early morning.‎ After the first round of experiments，participants 31 (allow) to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off(打盹).‎ People with the long“period 3”gene, by contrast, 32 （fall） asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time on deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working in top form.‎ Section B 10’‎ Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. ‎ A.legal B. desert C. behind D. go blind E. cruelty ‎ F. respect G. national H. anywhere I. up to J. formally K. exchange The city of Rome has passed a new law to prevent ___33___ to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.‎ This comes after a ___34___ law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.‎ ‎“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Carina, the councilor ___35___ the new law.‎ ‎“It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in ___36___for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.‎ The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them ___37___.‎ ‎“Rome has tried to protect fish more than ___38___ else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals that deserve over ___39___ and pity every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical treatment of Animals.‎ Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who ___40___ pets big fines and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.‎ The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of ___41___ $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.‎ The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tail to make them look lovelier. The law also gives ___42___ recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.‎ III.

Because there is a great 43 between human beings and insects. The 44 take every possible effort to avoid being discovered, while the latter quickly 45 attention to themselves.‎ We can only show mercy to the 46 man who had to stop his car soon after setting out from a country village to drive to London. Hearing a strange noise from the 47 of the car, he naturally got out to examine the wheels carefully, but he found nothing wrong, so he 48 his way. Again the noise began 49 and became even louder. Quickly turning his head, the man saw what appeared to be a great 50 cloud following the car. When he stopped at a village further on, he was told that a queen bee must be hidden in his car as there were thousands of bees 51 .‎ On learning this, the man drove away as quickly as possible. After an hour's 52 driving, he arrived safely in London, where he parked his car outside a 53 and went in. It was not long before a customer who had seen him arrive 54 in to inform him that his car was 55 with bees. The poor driver was 56 that the best way should be to call a 57 . In a short time the man arrived. He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car. Very thankful to the driver for this unexpected gift, the bee-keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box.‎ ‎43.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎ (A)‎ Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no one is around to help.‎ Lost in the wilderness ‎     First, you've got to acknowledge you're in trouble. Stay where you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense of humor helps too – it reduces stress and helps creative ‎ thinking. In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position. ‎ Choking                                                                                                                               Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part below the bony upside-down V of the ribs (肋骨)．Make a sudden push against the chair. If you still can't breathe after six tries, call 911, even if you can't talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and leave the line open until help arrives.‎ Severe bleeding Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around your leg tightly, you're going to close the vessels(血管) to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot. Bear attack        If you surprise a bear, don't run away. That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the bear in the eyes. If it does charge (猛冲) at you, stick out your chest, raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to frighten it. If it's going to attack, lie facedown, with your hands held firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you're sure the bear is gone.‎ ‎58.

While there’s no question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.‎ In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt ‎ they couldn’t get the job done.‎ Stress that you can manage may also boost immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren’t in control: They had to sit through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did go on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin (免疫球蛋白)A, an antibody that's the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.‎ Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones（荷尔蒙）. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.‎ ‎“Sustained stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity(长寿), “It’s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”‎ ‎65. The passage is mainly about ________.‎ A．the benefits of manageable stress B．how to avoid stressful situations C．how to cope with stress effectively D．the effects of stress hormones on memory ‎66. The underlined word “shun” (Line 1, Para.1) most probably means________.‎ A．cut down on B．stay away from C．run out of D．put up with ‎67. We can conclude from the study of the 158 nurses in 2001 that ________.‎ A．people under stress tend to have a poor memory B．people who can’t get their job done experience more stress C．doing challenging work may be good for one’s health D．stress will weaken the body’s defense against germs ‎68. Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University believes that ________.‎ A．a person’s memory is determined by the level of hormones in his body B．stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brain C．short bursts of stress hormones enhance memory function D．a person’s memory improves with continued experience of stress Section C 10’‎ Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.‎ ‎ 69 .When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest(愚蠢的) person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.‎ You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper , don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef. I’m sure you can do many things that she ‎ can’t.   70  You are you. You are not your sister. ‎ You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong.   71 .‎ ‎   72 .Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true.    73 .‎ A. You have the power to change your future.‎ B. So focus on your own passions and talents.‎ C. You are not the only one who feels this way.‎ D. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.‎ E. You need to change your thought patterns.‎ F. One of my favorite sayings is, “Don’t believe a negative thought you think!”‎ G. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you. ‎ ‎69. ______ 70. ______ 71. ______ 72.______ 73.______‎ Section D 10’‎ Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. ‎ Do you like movies and the cinema? If the answer is yes, then you’ll love hearing that there is a 3D revolution in cinema entertainment coming. ‎ ‎3D technology has been around for many years. The first 3D movie shown to a paying audience can be traced down to as early as 1922. But now 3D movies are being released on a large scale. This year, some major movie studios have released 3D movies, including the blockbuster Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and animations like Up and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. ‎ But now does 3D movie technology work and why do you have to wear glasses while watching 3D movies? ‎ The technology is actually simple. When a director is making a 3D movie, he must have it filmed by two cameras, from two slightly different angles, at the same time. Because it is filmed from different angles, if you watch the movie without the 3D glasses, it will look blurred(模糊). In the cinema, the movie is played on a special silver screen. When you watch the movie through the 3D glasses, each of your eyes sees from one of the different angles because each lens of the glasses only lets through one type of polarized light. This makes your brain think it is seeing 3D images. ‎ Unfortunately, there are some problems with 3D movies. Because the movie has to be filmed from two different angles, the filming of 3D movies is really expensive. And, upgrading a screen to 3D and installing the projector can cost tens of thousands of dollars. So we might be waiting a while before every film is 3D, but it will be worth the wait.‎ Summary:‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 第II卷 （共 40分）‎ I.

Guided Writing （共25分）（参考）‎ We will soon graduate from senior high school. Now almost every student is faced with the question: Should I choose a good major or a good university first?‎ Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favourite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job.‎ In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. But if we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we have interest in it and try our best. ‎
