The father asked his son, “What is this? ” The son replied, “It is a crow.” ‎ ‎ After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow’.” After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ”   “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly. A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?” This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ” 24. What does the underlined word“perched” mean in the passage?‎ A. knocked B. landed C. hit D. flew ‎ ‎25. Why did the Father ask the same question again and again?‎ A．Because he couldn't understand what his son said.‎ B．Because he was too old to remember anything.‎ C．Because he wanted to make his son angry.‎ D．Because he wanted to see how patient his son would be.‎ ‎26. How old was the old man when his son asked him 23 times “What is this”?‎ A．80 years old. B．45 years old. C．38 years old. D．35 years old.‎ ‎27. What is the most suitable title for the passage?‎ A．A crow. B．An old man. C．An old dairy. D．Father's love.‎ C In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new ‎ generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image(自我形象)。 ‎ I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. ‎ When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. ‎ What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. ‎ Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become“happy”people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University‎ of ‎Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material tings. That’s because experiences are more easily integrated into a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. ‎ Moreover, as Van Boen has observed, young people who pursue happiness through“things”are liked less by their peers (同龄人). People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. ‎ It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So, my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message, Take some lessons from the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. ‎ Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. ‎ ‎ By Susan Chyn ‎ ‎28.. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?‎ A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. ‎ B. The author sees no point in spending money on material things ‎ C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. ‎ D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. ‎ ‎29. What did Leaf Van Boven’s studies show?‎ A. Traveling changes a person’s identity greatly. ‎ B. People dislike those who love luxuries. ‎ C. Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries. ‎ D. Luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness. ‎ ‎30. What’s the author’s advice on expressing oneself?‎ A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create y our own personal, unique style. ‎ C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s. ‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the article?‎ A. To persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries. ‎ B. To prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life. ‎ C. to tell how to express yourself through appearance. ‎ D. To report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness. ‎ D An Italian company has created the world’s first underwater farm. The station named Nemo’s Garden consists of five biospheres(生物圈) fixed to the bottom of the sea off the coast of Savona, Italy. They’re being used to grow strawberries, beans, garlic, and lettuce.‎ ‎“The main target of this project is to create other sources of plant production in areas where environmental conditions make it difficult to grow crops through traditional farming, including lack of fresh water, fertile soil, and extreme temperature changes,’’ said project spokesperson Luca Gamberini.‎ The five biospheres, currently floating between depths of 18 and 36 feet, are constantly watched by Ocean Reef Group —— a diving equipment company——from a control center on dry land. According to various news reports,‎ ‎ the plants are watered by drips of water on the inner walls of the biospheres. With a constant temperature of 79 degrees day and night, and humidity(湿度) at around 83 percent, the conditions are ideal for plants to grow well. The high amount of carbon dioxide also encourages growth.‎ Ocean Reef president Sergio Gamberini said he came up with the idea of growing plants underwater during a summer vacation in Italy. In his own words, he wanted to do something that’s different and to show the beauty of the ocean. After two years of failed attempts, they finally were able to get these five biospheres working. Their success may lay the foundation for a new form of crop production that can be done without harming the environment.‎ In fact, the biosphere seems to be attracting wildlife. Octopuses(章鱼) and endangered seahorses are taking shelter under the structure, while crabs(螃蟹) are climbing up the anchors and into the greenhouses. None of the creatures have damaged the plants so far. “It’s so kind of science-fiction to see these two different forms of life interact,” Gamberini said.‎ ‎32. Why was the underwater farm created?‎ A. To help explore the sea.    B. To protect sea creatures.‎ C. To improve the sea environment    D. To find a new way of growing crops.‎ ‎33. Sergio Gamberini got the idea of growing plants underwater _______.‎ A. by chance    B. from science fiction C. after reading a news report    D. after two years of failed attempts ‎34. The last paragraph is written mainly to tell us that _____.‎ A. the plants in the biosphere is protected B. the biosphere is environmentally friendly C. sea creatures may do harm to the biosphere D. sea creatures like the plants in the biosphere ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The undersea exploration. B. Growing plants without soil.‎ C. A biosphere that attracts wildlife. D. The world’s first underwater farm.‎ 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。‎ It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others. 36 If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing, then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts. ‎ Don’t get in the center of the conflict.‎ Sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help. Frankly speaking, it is very unwise, because it can make you the main figure of the conflict. 37 You should focus on your own life issues.‎ Be kind.‎ ‎38 Life is full of conflicts and disagreements, and that’s why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them. For example, kindness can lessen the conflict.‎ Try to be a peacekeeper.‎ Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts. ‘‘ 39 ” This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper. Don’t worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper; you can gain this skill during life.‎ Walk off.‎ When the conflict is gathering pace and you can’t manage to control yourself, you should choose to handle the situation in another way. By all means, try to keep yourself away from stress. 40 You should get away from the situation for a while.‎ A． The greatest victory is a battle not fought.‎ B．Conflicts are unavoidable, so try to accept them.‎ C．Weak people usually desire others to offer help and support.‎ D．Let other people solve their problems without your presence.‎ E．It is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent.‎ F．When someone pushes you to the limit, try to act kindly towards this person.‎ G．Arguing can either break your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，然后从各题所给的A、B、C, D四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Dandelions (蒲公英)are common weeds that grow in many places around the world. In different 41 , dandelions take different shapes. Scientists have long 42 that different habitats led to the creation of 43 species, and that differences in form are actual proof of different species. 44 , according to Turesson, it is also possible that a 45 species takes different shapes dependent on the habitats it 46 in. To study this, I have looked at two dandelions growing in different habitats. The one, 47 I will call Dandelion 1, grows in a grass field that lies in the 48 . The other Dandelion, Dandelion 2, grows in the shadow, eg 49 the trees or behind a shed. The grass field is hot and _50 . The shadow is cool and wet. So, what are the 51 between Dandelion 1 and 2?‎ Dandelion 1 is dark green, and its 52 are short and quite thick. Most of the leaves lie 53 on the surrounding grass. The flowers are short. Dandelion 2, on the other hand, looks very different. The leaves are long and 54 _green, Most leaves stand in a vertical position. The flowers also 55 tall.‎ Dandelion 2 56 strong and tall. It is clear that it grows very well in the 57 , and that has enough 58 and space to grow into a big plant. Dandelion 1, on the other hand, is small and dark. It seems that the 59 in the grassland make it difficult for this dandelion to grow into a big plant.‎ ‎60 , the conditions in the two different habitats result in different shapes for these dandelions. For Dandelion 1, the sun makes the grass field hot and dry. In order to save water, it grows short and thick leaves.‎ ‎41.A. houses B. habitats C. parks D. countries ‎42.A. disagreed B. provided C. believed D. calculated ‎43.A. new B. good C. old D. bad ‎44.A.

What’s worse, they even can’t concentrate themselves on their studies. However, these, I think, can be solved by sticking to some useful tips. First of all, you should relax yourself by doing a proper amount of exercise. Besides, a balanced and healthy diet can provide sufficient nutrition, thus maintaining a healthy body and mind. So, eat more friut, vegetables, fish and nuts every day. Last but not the least, adjust your biological clock so that you can have a sound sleep before the exam, which can guarantee a higher learning efficiency. I hope the above tips will work on you. ‎
