When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.‎ In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.‎ His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.‎ ‎21．Which word can take the place of the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 1?‎ A. success B. interest C. prize D. skill ‎22．The unusually surprising way that he scored goals .‎ A. helped him to gain many prizes for Essex B. kept him playing for Leeds United C. offered him the chance to join the national team D. made him popular and famous ‎23．Which of the following shows the right order of what Beckham experienced?‎ a. Beckham played his first football league game b. Beckham won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award c. Beckham played for Manchester United Youth Cup team d. Beckham went to Spain to join a football training camp e . Beckham played for the schools of Essex A. e, d, a, c, b B. b, e, d, a, c C. e, b, a, d, c D. b, d, e, c, a ‎24．The passage mainly talks about .‎ A. how Beckham became a successful football player B. what abilities Beckham had to score so many goals C. when Beckham became famous all over Britain D. why Beckham could win in football league games B ‎ According to the Oxford English Dictionary，the term “couch potato” first appeared in print in a December 1979 edition of the Los Angeles Times. Since then，it has become a familiar term for a person who spends a lot of time sitting，and little time exercising.Although there does not seem to be any particular reason why the term“couch potato”is used rather than “couch tomato”，a person may become a “couch potato”because living this way is said to make you round like a potato.The term is also said to have something to do with the connection of potatoes with highcalorie(卡路里)food like potato chips.‎ People now would say “couch potato” whenever they talk about overweight and obesity(肥胖)．Indeed, “couch potatoes” are believed to risk heart disease，which can be avoided by regular exercise.‎ It is true that technology and modern life in general makes us sick，fat，lazy and ‎ physically/mentally soft.The more time people spend using technology，particularly televisions and computers，the less time they will spend being physically active.‎ ‎“Couch potato”kids are a particular concern.Media reports repeatedly claim that children today are fatter than their elder generations，but less athletically skilled，less interested in physical activity and more addicted(上瘾的)to “junk food” and technology such as television and computers.The message is clear：today's children are fat because they are lazy and eat too much.Moreover，because technology is becoming more sophisticated(复杂的)，children are less able to resist(抵抗，忍得住)technology's attraction，and are more likely to spend more time using technology，less time doing physical activity and，therefore，more likely to be fat.‎ ‎25．The first paragraph is mainly talking about_______．‎ A．why “couch potato” is used as a term for a person B．when “couch potato” is used as a term for a person C．how “couch potato” is different from“couch tomato”‎ D．what kind of person looks like a potato ‎26．The development of technology also makes us sick because _______by using technology.‎ A．we are more likely to risk heart disease in modern life B．we spend less time doing exercise C．we needn't do many things by ourselves any more D．we spend all our time watching TV and playing computer games ‎27．It's kids'_______ that people are particularly concerned about.‎ A．food B．Study C．health D．hobby ‎28．According to the passage，the author may suggest that_______ ．‎ A．scientists should stop their research into technology B．parents should take better care of their children C．kids should be stopped from using new technology D．people should spend less time using technology C ‎ An online chatting robot named Xiaotu on the website of Tsinghua University's ‎ library had to pause services during the winter vacation because too many visitors wanted to talk to it about absurd (荒谬的) matters unrelated to library services.‎ Xiaotu，which means “little library”in Chinese，has the ability to learn during its conversations with humans，but its designers said it has picked up too much “unsuitable material” from visitors to the website.‎ ‎“It had been a long time anyway since we last cleared up its database(数据库) ，so we decided to pause the service to do it，”said a design group member surnamed Yao，who works in the university's library.‎ Xiaotu's main functions include answering questions about the library，searching library collections and other search engines，and selflearning.‎ Design work on Xiaotu started in 2009 and by the end of 2010，it was put online on the homepage (主页) of Tsinghua University's library and on www.renren.com，a social network similar to Facebook.‎ On the library's homepage，it was scoring more than 1，000 visits a day.‎ But many of the questions were not appropriate (合适的)to Xiaotu's role and it learned a lot of language from users which was unrelated to library affairs，and which was often meaningless or worse.‎ One user asked Xiaotu，“Who are your parents？”And it answered，“Tsinghua University and Peking University.”‎ But when students returned for the spring term，Xiaotu was put back into service after its data cleanup.‎ ‎“We have improved its services and I hope users can teach it useful information now，”said Yao.‎ ‎29．Why did they pause the robot's service?‎ A．To update its software.‎ B．To clear up its database.‎ C．To repair its hardware.‎ D．To give its users a warning.‎ ‎30．The example given in the eighth paragraph shows that _______．‎ A．some users often asked the robot personal questions B．the robot was clever enough to answer any questions C．some of the users tended to talk rubbish to the robot D．the robot was stupid to give such ridiculous answers ‎31．Which of the following is TRUE about the robot?‎ A．It has broken down forever.‎ B．It can never talk to its users again.‎ C．It is back in use after improvement.‎ D．It will soon be brought back to normal.‎ D Work and life are always full of stress．How do you usually deal with your stress？Have you ever thought of doing housework？Do you think doing housework is helpful in dealing with stress？According to some psychologists，doing housework like washing dirty clothes can really make people relax．‎ ‎"Doing simple housework such as cleaning windows and ironing（熨）clothes is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine，"says Carol Clark，a successful psychologist in America．She often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework．"While washing something，"she says，"you can imagine you're washing away something that is troubling you in your life．"‎ Do people all agree with her idea？Here are some different opinions．‎ ‎"Housework is the reason for stress in my life，"says Linda who works in a company in France．"As a mother of three，I have too much housework．Get me out of doing the housework and then I'll really be able to relax．"‎ Gary is a single father of a seven-month-old baby．He is a doctor from Australia．"so,a man pays a psychologist $200an hour for his problem about stress ．However，he is just told to go back home and do some housework.I really don't know who is crazier，the psychologist or the man!"‎ ‎32．Where does Carol Clark work？‎ A．In France B．In England ‎ C．In America D.In Australia ‎33．Which can be inferred from the passage?‎ A.Everyone doesn't agree with Carol Clark.‎ B.Linda is a nurse with four children.‎ C.Carol Clark is the only psychologist who thinks housework helps relax people.‎ D.Carol has been single for at least ten months.‎ ‎34.What is the attitude of Linda towards Carol Clark' idea?‎ A.Indifferent B.Approving C.Questioning D.Encouraging ‎35.Which may be the best title for the passage?‎ A.The Reason for Stress.‎ B.Work and Life.‎ C.A Successful Psychologist D.Housework and Stress.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ Public Speaking Training ‎ Get a teacher ‎ 36 ，so get help. Since there are about many companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.‎ ‎ Focus on positives ‎ Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 37 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ ‎ If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 39 .As far as we're concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.‎ ‎ You are a special person not a done ‎ Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 .Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.‎ A. ‎ Public speaking is difficult B. You aren't like anybody else C. Turn your back on too many rules D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts E. You already do lots of things well F. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep G. So trying to force a lot of rules into it will just make things worse ‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ About five years ago my family moved to Iowa and I started going to a new school.
