A team of students who were successful in their work got together to visit their old teacher after graduating from college many years later. The talk soon turned into complaints about 11 in work and life.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，共50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,共40分)
阅读下列短文,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
At the end of every British summer I find myself praying for a proper winter, one that will allow a bit of fun: sledging, snowballing, snowman-building. I’m not very demanding; I don’t need amazing downhill skiing and the Cresta Run. What I want is a few days out with the kids. And, much as I like blue skies and sun in summer, I’d exchange it every time for frozen ponds, a hillside covered in fresh snow and ice hanging off the houses. Maddy, 11, wants the same and so, instead of waiting and hoping, we are going to make sure. We are going to Sweden.
Winter fun in Sweden is a bit more advanced than in most of the UK. They do snowshoeing, ice-fishing, snow house-building and so on. They also do lots of Father Christmas matters, which Maddy didn’t want: “I’m too old for that kind of nonsense, Dad.” Above all, what Maddy wanted was dogs with puppies. She’s not too old for that.
We flew to Lulea, a city at the top of the finger of Baltic Sea that reaches out to the north between Sweden and Finland, almost touching the Arctic Circle, then transferred, with some other winter-hungry families, to woodland houses by the sea. There was plenty of snow and ice, but the guides were keeping a nervous eye on the instrument for measuring temperature, which was dangerously close to zero.
“Normally, we are 10℃ below,” said Roger, our guide, who was also handing out our equipment for the days ahead: snowshoes, boots, gloves and so on. A holiday that provides all the necessary outfits will save you a fortune.
31. From the underlined sentence, the writer wants to tell us _________.
A. winter is much more fun than summer
B. he likes playing exciting sports in winter
C. he wants a few days out with the kids
D. the activities in winter are in greater demand
32. How did they go to the city of Lulea?
A. By sea. B. By air. C. By train. D. By car.
33. Which of the following best describes our guide?
A. Experienced and old. B. Nervous and funny.
C. Considerate and careful. D. Worried and amazed.
34. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Winter Fun in Lulea. B. A journey to Finland.
C. Ice-fishing in Lulea. D. Snow showing in Lulea.

Speed-reading is an essential skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Continuous information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond intellectual development.
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.
Some of these benefits have been backed up by science. For example, a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that regular engagement in intellectual activities like slow-reading slowed the rate of memory loss later in life.
Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the linear, left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, linear pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can spend half an hour pretty easily if only during your free moments — whenever you find yourself automatically firing up your laptop to check your favorite site, or scanning Twitter for something to pass the time–you pick up a meaningful work of literature.”
35. We can conclude from the passage__________.
A. People dislike reading in their daily life
B. Reading through smart phones is a new trend
C. Some benefits could be gained beyond reading
D. People could do anything in the Wellington book club
36. What advantage of slow-reading is mentioned in the passage?
A. Improving some reading skills.
B. Specializing in collecting news.
C. Exploring a new method of reading.
D. Reducing the memory loss.
37. Which of the following suggestions can be Kelly’s ?
A. To spare some time to check emails every day.
B. To go through some sites to kill time every day.
C. To chat with favorite persons on Twitter every day.
D. To read literary works for 30 minutes every day.
38. What’s mainly talked about in the passage?
A. Fast reading is very important in life. B. Slow reading is necessary in life.
C. People must read as quickly as possible. D. Life is reading for all the people.
C

In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons. It is a very common, though normally temporary, consequence of a breakup, divorce, or loss of any important long-term relationship. In these cases, loneliness may result both from the loss of a specific person or from dropping out of social circles. The loss of a significant person in one's life will typically lead to a grief response; in this situation, one might feel lonely, even while in the company of others.
There are many different ways used to treat loneliness. The first step that most doctors recommend to patients is treatment. Short term treatment typically occurs over a period of ten to twenty weeks. During treatment, emphasis is put on understanding the cause of the problem, thoroughly changing the negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes resulting from the problem, and exploring ways to help the patient feel connected. Some doctors also recommend group treatment a means to connect with other sufferers and establish a support system.
Another treatment is animal-assisted treatment. Studies and surveys indicate that the presence of animal companions such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs can ease feelings of loneliness or depression among some sufferers. Beyond the companionship the animal itself provides there may also be increased opportunities for socializing with other pet owners. Results of a study also suggest that correcting improper social cognition (认知) offers the best chance of reducing loneliness.
However, loneliness can sometimes play an important role in the creative process. In some people, temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to remarkable artistic and creative expression, for example, as was the case with poet Emily Dickinson, and many musicians. This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity, rather, it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist and more likely be present in individuals engaged in creative activities.
43. According to the passage, what can lead to loneliness?
A. Running away from the school. B. Losing long-term friendship.
C. A specific person’s marriage. D. A company’s closing down.
44. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people feel lonely.
B. To introduce the cures for loneliness.
C. To show results of a survey.
D. To make people know more about loneliness.
45. Compared with group treatment, what is the key to short-term treatment?
A. To set up a support system by contacting other sufferers.
B. To take anti-depressant medicine and switch it periodically.
C. To change patients’ attitude towards loneliness.
D. To raise the awareness of the cause of the problem.
46. Why does the author take the example of Emily Dickinson?
A. Because loneliness may contribute to arts creation in some ways.
B. Because loneliness itself was present when Emily Dickinson wrote a poem.
C. Because people can feel whether a person is lonely in his artworks.
D. Because in the creative process, loneliness can be treated.

By 2050, half of the world’s population will live in the tropics—the relatively warm belt that circles the globe—according to State of the Tropics, a report released today. Rapid population growth, along with economic growth, means that the region’s influence will grow in coming decades, the authors of the 500-page work predict.
The project, first launched in 2011, aimed to answer one significant question: Is life in the tropics improving? To find out, the researchers analyzed environmental, social, and economic indicators collected over 6 decades. It finds that the region has made “extraordinary progress” in many areas. For example, more people have access to safe drinking water, and the number of protected areas is increasing. The tropics also have outperformed the rest of the world in economic growth over the past 30 years.
However, some challenges remain. Investment in research and development, for example, has increased cautiously, but tropical nations still invest less than the rest of the world. “As a proportion of GDP the Rest of the World invests almost four times as much in research and development than the Tropics.” concludes the report.
The report also includes a new analysis of how climate change will affect the region. Many plant and animal species are moving poleward in an attempt to stay within their preferred environmental conditions in the tropics, the authors write. However, some organisms may not be able to keep pace with the changing conditions, they predict. As a result, they can experience population declines or go extinct.
In addition, an expanded tropical zone also threatens health and safety issues, the authors warn. As regions become more suitable to insects such as mosquitoes and ticks, the spread of insect-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease could rise, causing a burden to human health and the economy.
Bruna, a researcher, says he sees a lot to be concerned about in the report. “While we’ve made incredible advances in some areas, I think the risks for the tropics that are highlighted in this report are things that we really need to be concerned about.”
47. What was the original purpose of the project State of the Tropics?
A. To answer if life in the tropics is improving.
B. To do research about environment, society and economy.
C. To warn people of the problems in coming decades.
D. To help the development in the tropics.
48. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Economic development in tropics has increased less over the past 30 years.
B. Some organisms can experience population drop or extinction for climate changes.
C. Rapid population growth contributes to the outbreak of infectious diseases.
D. Great investment has been adopted in the research and development.
49. According to the passage, we can infer__________.
A. close attention needs to be paid to the risks for the tropics.
B. all the plants and animals will live in the polar region in the future.
C. health and safety problems will influence the tropical development.
D. Bruna shows positive attitude towards the future of the tropics.
50. Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude?
A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Subjective.

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
Many seniors feel pressured to go straight from high school to college, but Camden Olson, who graduated from Latin School of Chicago in the US last year, didn’t give in. She decided to spend a gap year raising a guide dog for Guiding Eyes for the blind in Maine.
The nonprofit provides trained guide dogs to blind people.
Taking a year off before college is becoming more and more popular among American teenagers. Some students use the year off to figure out what they want to do, travel the world, or save money for college.
Olson is using her time to purpose a passion she’s had since 7th grade. For years, she kept an eye on guide dog services until she came across the opportunity at Guiding Eyes. With support from her friends, family and teachers, Olson went for it.
Olson’s volunteer work centers around Derby, a 1-year-old black dog.
“My job is to raise him to be well-mannered and socialized,” she said. “It gives a blind person a lot of independence and emotional support, too.”
Of course, there’s an end in sight for Derby and Olson’s close bond (联系). When Derby celebrates his own graduation, Olson will have to say goodbye to him. “No doubt there will be tears, but, assuming he passes. I will be so happy for him to become a working dog,” she said.
While some look at gap years in negative light, Olson said she’s seen major success. In fact, she’ll be attending Princeton University this fall and is thinking about majoring in ecology and biology.
“I think I’m already so much more mature than I was and aware of what really matters,” she said. “So many kids do come back from gap years a lot more focused and prepared.
56. What did Olson decide to do in her gap year? (no more than 8 words)
57. Why is taking a year gap becoming more popular? (no more than 10 words)
58. Who supported Olson to go for her idea? (no more than5 words)
59. What can Derby give a blind person? (no more than 7 words)
60. How did the teenagers feel after a gap year? (no more than 7 words)

The best way of learning English is to use it. You’d better speak it as many as possible. Sometimes you will get your words mix up and people won’t understand you. Sometimes people would speak too fast and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense from humor, you will not be nervous about mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at their mistakes. It is much more better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry because they don’t understand that you are saying. The most important rules
of learning English is, “Don’t be afraid of make mistakes.”

Nowadays, many tourists behave badly in some scenic spots. Their uncivilized behaviors are presented in the following aspects.
Some travelers are unwilling to queue up for tickets for attractions or vehicles in the scenic regions because they always want to get benefit for themselves ahead of others. Some others even pick flowers or shake the trees to see the flowers falling down on purpose. Their behaviors destroy the beauty of nature as well as their own images seriously.
As for the behaviors mentioned above, I feel very angry about it. I suggest that the government or the travel departments should take tough measures to prevent the behaviors. For example, the people should be punished due to what they have done.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by zxxk the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
remember the birth of jazz.
protect cultural diversity.
encourage people to study music.
recognize the value of jazz.
does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
becoming more accessible.
production of jazz growing faster.
being less popular with the young.
jazz audience becoming larger.
can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
will disappear gradually.
remains black and white.
should keep up with the times.
changes every 50 years.
h of the following can be the best title for the text?
oring the Future of Jazz.
Rise and Fall of Jazz.
Story of a Jazz Musician.
brating the Jazz Day.

A buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5' 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment zxxk out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable.
33. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The still.
C. The hole. D. The cup.
34. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .
A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole
C. the open air D. beneath the sheet

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36 .
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界) 61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62 (effect) such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.
Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63 (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food
67 (be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.
