Upon arrival at the project each day, we would look eagerly for our names on the whiteboard to see which task we would be undertaking. Would it be the highly desirable ‘turtle feeding’, the pretty fun ‘tank cleaning’, the exciting ‘medicine administering’ or the less appealing ‘fish cutting’? Fine in theory but not when every fly in Indonesia decides to crowd onto these dead fish while you’re cutting!‎ Life at the turtle project was fun because twice a day we got to hang out with sea turtles. By ‘hang out’, I obviously meant ‘work’, as we were on shift, but it certainly didn’t feel like work. Another fun thing was getting to know the other volunteers! With volunteers from all over the world, it was just common to hear Finnish being spoken, Australian slang mixed with French expressions and Swedes making plans to visit newly-found friends in the USA.  ‎ Of course, not all the time at Turtle Camp was consumed by volunteering. Scheduled activities included a trip to Crystal‎ ‎Bay, a beautiful paradise for swimming and sunbathing, an awesome beach bonfire complete with a beautiful sunset as well as our local coworkers showing off their guitar playing and singing skills.‎ Our time at Turtle Camp was capped off by setting free two of our turtles into the sea to begin their journey as independent turtles! Hopefully, the love and care provided at the turtle project would ensure that these turtles had a greater chance of survival in the big, wide and scary ocean. ‎ 21. Which task is less fun to the volunteers at Turtle Camp? ‎ A. Turtle feeding. B. Tank cleaning. ‎ C. Medicine Administering. D. Fish Cutting. ‎ ‎22. What does the underlined sentence imply?‎ A. The volunteering was a challenge. ‎ B. The time at the camp was difficult.‎ C. The work at the project was a delight. ‎ D. Communication was time-consuming.‎ ‎23. When setting free the two turtles, the volunteers felt a sense of _________.‎ A. achievement B. belonging ‎ C. loss D. independence B Every day around the world, thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case?‎ Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn’t read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.‎ However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we’re not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in.‎ While we’re letting go of things, let’s stop worrying about understanding everything. We can’t. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens’A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language. ‎ ‎24. Most museum goers ________.‎ ‎ A. enjoy reading notice boards B. understand the artworks well ‎ C. lack professional art knowledge D. share common interest in artworks ‎25. What can the spoilers in Para.2 possibly be ? ‎ ‎ A. Story writers. B. Readers’ expectations. ‎ C. Guiding experts. D. Plots given away in advance. ‎ ‎26. What prevents readers enjoying reading classics?‎ ‎ A. Showing curiosity about the writers. B. Letting go of things. ‎ C. Trying to understanding everything. D. Working out mysteries.‎ ‎27. What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?‎ ‎ A. We should find more fun from classics. ‎ ‎ B. Reading classics is a personal exploration.‎ ‎ C. Experts need to give readers better guidance.‎ ‎ D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.‎ C In 1971, UN scholar Paolo Lugari started an eco－social experiment in Gaviotas, Colombia. Located in one of the most extreme climates, Gaviotas was described as a sustainable, self－sufficient village in an area that Lugari called ‘just a big, wet desert’．‎ ‎‘They always put social experiments in the easiest places，’ Lugari said.‘We wanted the hardest place. We figured if we could do it here, we could do it anywhere.’‎ ‎‘Lugari just thought that someday the world would become so crowded that humans would have to learn to live in the planet's least desirable areas，’ wrote Alan Weisman, author of Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World.‎ Today, Gaviotas is an eco－village with about 200 people. They farm organically. They use wind and solar power. Since 2004, Gaviotas has been 100% fossil fuel independent. The residents also enjoy free housing, schooling, and community meals. Shockingly, there are no weapons, no police, no jail and no mayor. But though these elements would make any social experiment a success, perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment is the planting of 1.5 million pine trees and palm trees. The various results of this new tree growth have been incredible. The shade of the trees has inspired the return of many rainforest species that were once native to the region. Additionally, the residents of Gaviotas enjoy a sustainable source of income from the resin(松香) harvested from the trees.‎ The United Nations named Gaviotas a model of sustainable development. The Colombia novelist and Noble Prize winner Grabriel Marquez called Lugari the ‘inventor of the world’．‎ A new study by a team of researchers has found that ‘nature's capacity to store carbon is steadily falling as the world's farmers expand croplands at the cost of the native ecosystem such as forests’．‎ Considering this disturbing fact—and as the world population increases towards an estimated 9 billion by the year 2050 and global warming continues to increase the ‎ planet's surface temperature—Gaviotas stands as one shining example of how things could be different.‎ ‎28. Before the year 1971，________．‎ A. there was never any rain in Gaviotas B. Gaviotas was one of the hardest places to live on the planet C. scientists did many social experiments in Gaviotas D. Lugari often visited Gaviotas9‎ ‎29. Gaviotas has developed into a sustainable, self－sufficient village thanks to________．‎ A. the government's great support B. people's organic farming C. Lugari's great contribution D. the United Nations' research ‎30. The fourth paragraph is intended to tell us ________．‎ A. the income of people in Gaviotas B. the public security situation of Gaviotas C. the rainforest species in Gaviotas D. the living conditions of people in Gaviotas ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. A village that reinvented the world. ‎ B. A person who planted many trees.‎ C. How a small village turned into a business center.‎ D. The importance of protecting the environment.‎ D If you are taking vitamin supplements to reduce your risk of heart disease or cancer, a group of health experts want you to know that those vitamins may actually increase your risk of cancer.‎ The US Preventive Services Task Force came to this conclusion after reviewing dozens of studies.‎ Nearly half of adults in the US take at least one vitamin or mineral supplement on a regular basis. These pills are advertised as a way to promote general health. In some cases, manufacturers promote them as cancer fighters and heart protectors.‎ Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes suggest that oxidative(氧化性的) stress contributes to diseases like cancer and heart disease. If so, there is a reason to believe that antioxidants—including beta－carotene, vitamins A, C, and E—could be useful as preventive medicines.‎ But when the Task Force examined the medical evidence on vitamins, it found “inadequate(不充分的) evidence” to support the claims that vitamin and mineral supplements benefit healthy adults.‎ ‎“Cardiovascular(心血管的) disease and cancer have a significant health impact in America, and we all want to find ways to prevent these diseases，” Dr. Virginia Moyer, who heads the Task Force, said in a statement. But so far, she added, the medical evidence does not show that taking vitamins is helpful in this regard.‎ However, the Task Force did find “adequate evidence” that people with a raised risk for lung cancer actually increase their risk further by taking beta－carotene, a precursor of vitamin A.‎ The Task Force recommendations of taking vitamins regularly apply to healthy adults aged 50 and older who don't have “ special nutritional needs”. The advice does not apply to children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, people with chronic illnesses, or people who have to take supplements because they can't get all their essential nutrients from their diet.‎ ‎32. Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes find out________．‎ A. ample evidence that taking vitamins are helpful for treating lung cancer B. cardiovascular disease spreads very fast in ‎America C. oxidative stress can lead to heart disease and cancer D. people must take vitamins on a regular basis ‎33. What can we conclude from Task Force's findings?‎ A. Scientists want to control cardiovascular disease.‎ B. In some regard, taking vitamins is not useful.‎ C. Manufacturers cannot produce medical－use vitamins.‎ D. Vitamins must be useful to prevent cancer and heart disease.‎ ‎34. Who can take vitamins regularly according to the advice of the Task Force?‎ A. A 60－year－old healthy worker.‎ B. A 15－year－old boy with short－sightedness.‎ C. A 34－year－old pregnant lady.‎ D. A 40－year－old man who never eats vegetables or fruits.‎ ‎35. What's the best title for the text?‎ A. An Inside Look at Vitamins B. Task Force: Ending to Vitamins C. Vitamins: To Live or to Kill D. Taking Vitamins to Prevent Cancer May Fail E 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy to learn English. According to them, with little effort, a student will be able to speak the language fluently in three months or even ten days. When I see advertisements like this, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. If it were that easy, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed.‎ ‎ 36 Otherwise the advertisements would not appear.‎ It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them quickly and efficiently. 37 ‎ And it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English. Some experts even argue that there are many good methods of teaching a ‎ language. No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.‎ ‎ 38 Of course it is clear that students who go to England, America, or Australia to learn English have a great advantage over others. But many students cannot afford to do so. Other students go to the opposite extreme. 39 But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise word in another language.‎ ‎ In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak a language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike animals, do not like making noises unless they understand and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. 40 It will be helpful if we practise the unfamiliar forms in real situations, talking to each other about real life in real language.‎ A. We need other people to talk to and listen to.‎ B. They teach themselves at home with dictionaries.‎ C. Every teacher is an individual with his own personality.‎ D. But a large number of people must believe these ridiculous claims.‎ E. It’s impossible for any translation method to produce good pronunciation.‎ F. But it is difficult for anyone to explain why one method is better than another.‎ G. Some students believe that the only way to learn a language is to stay in that country.‎ 第三部分:语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节:(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白 的最佳选项。‎ Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly approaching, he came to me with an unusual     41    : instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.‎ ‎    I was     42     for such an idea.

He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had inspired him. So we started to     44     creative things we could do.‎ ‎    Our university employed some security guards to     45     its students.

How could we show them our appreciation?‎ ‎    We decided to make a large pot of hot     49    .

"I'm scheduled to work with you this week."‎ Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.‎ ‎“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?”I asked.‎ Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.‎ I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled, “That’s not the way to make coffee.”She stepped in and took over.‎ Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.‎ Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose.‎ Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. "What shall I do?"The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.‎ Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love. ‎ Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.‎ Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.‎ The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1 ：‎ One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room.‎ ‎____________________________________▲______________________________________‎ Paragraph 2 ：‎ Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly.‎ ‎____________________________________▲______________________________________‎ 英语参考答案 一、听力：1-20‎ ‎1.

So I was so excited about the trip that I didn’t sleep well for several nights. On the day of leaving, my father thought that I might be caught in the traffic jam if I took a bus to the airport, so he drove me there. But our car broke down on the way. As the time went by, I began to worry about missing the flight. I decided to stop a car to take me to the airport. Many cars went past me with high speed before a white Bora stopped by my side. Thanks to the driver, I arrived at the airport just in time at 1:50 p.m. to catch my plane which would leave ten minutes later. It was my first flight and I was a bit nervous. When the plane was taking off, my ears felt funny. I was really sick. Luckily it was all over after a while. On my window seat, I could enjoy the bird’s-eye view of beautiful cities, land, grass, forests and blue sea. Sometimes our plane flew right over the white clouds. Unluckily I didn’t see any hills. Maybe I missed them. What a wonderful view!‎ 第二节到此结束。现在, 你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。‎ 停顿02′00″‎ 听力部分到此结束。‎ 解析： (1).本空后的"instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness"是作者的朋友提出的请求，那就是不接受礼物，而是做一些善事。request意为"请求"，符合语境。‎ ‎(2).根据下一句话中的"was really difficult"可知,作者对朋友的提议感到不知所措，因为自己也不知道该怎么做。be stuck for意为"不知所措,(为某事)犯愁"，符合语境。be blessed with"有幸拥有某物"；be burdened with"负重"；be bored with"(对某人/某物)厌倦的"。‎ ‎(3).根据本段的前两句话可知，作者对朋友的请求感到很难应对，所以就问朋友他是怎么想到一个这样的新奇主意，句中novel是一个形容词，意为"新颖的"，符合语境。‎ ‎(4).正是因为深受鼓舞，他才有了这样的新颖的想法。作者接受了朋友的建议，所以开始尽可能想有创意的想法，为这些事情做好准备，plan out意为"精心安排，筹划"，符合语境。take over"接收，接管，控制，接替"；watch for"留意"；hold back"抑制，隐瞒"。‎ ‎(5).根据本句话中的"security guards"和下一句话中的"keeping watch on every corner"可知，作者和朋友想帮助大学里的安保人员，这些人要密切关注学生。monitor作动词意为"监视，检查，跟踪调查;监听"。‎ ‎(6).本句中的They指的是上一句话中的"security guards",这些安保人员要全天工作，around the clock意为"日夜不停"，符合语境。step by step"逐步地"；more or less"几乎，差不多"；now and then"偶尔"。‎ ‎(7).在很大程度上，这是一份吃力不讨好的工作，因为大多数人已经习惯了在周围看到安保人员，几乎注意不到他们的存在，更不用说认可他们的努力了。grow/get accustomed to意为"习惯于"。be addicted to"对......着迷的";be devoted to"全心全意的"；be attached to"附属于......"。‎ ‎(8).参见上题解析。presence意为"存在"，符合语境。‎ ‎(9).根据下一句话中的"poured them each a cup of hot chocolate"可知，作者和朋友的行动就是为这些保安做一大杯巧克力，所以选择D项。‎ ‎(10).结合上一段第一句话中的"security guards"可知，作者和朋友要去保安所在的位置，将热热的巧克力送到他们的手中，所以选择C项。‎ ‎(11).根据句中的"a bit doubtful to the entire plan but after a while"可知，优步车司机起初有些弄不懂作者和朋友的做法，但是很快就明白了，initially意为"最初"，符合语境。occasionally"偶尔"； frequently"频繁地"。‎ ‎(12).根据本段第二句话中的"take us around the campus where we knew"可知，优步车司机也帮助作者和其朋友找到这些在不同位置的保安，spot意为"看见，注意到，发现"，符合语境。remind"提醒"；track"跟踪;追踪"；recognize"认出"。‎ ‎(13).作者和其朋友的精神面貌也让这位司机受到了感染，spread意为"传播"，符合语境。‎ ‎(14).结合句中的"appreciative words"可知，作者和朋友的行为得到了善意的回报，这些保安对他们微笑，还有感谢的话语，所以选择D项。‎ ‎(15).结合上文可知，作者和朋友只是为这些保安做了一杯巧克力，但是这样的小小的善意的行为让大家都精神焕发，本空与句中的"lift everyone's spirit"形成鲜明的对比。‎ ‎ ‎
