However, there are many who build a name for themselves and prove it is not a male-droven society.Oprah Winfrey (1954-present) Brought up by a teenage mother，single-handedly，Oprah did not have an easy childhood. However. With her will power and self-confidener she reached high in her . chosen career and today Oprah Winfrey has not only turned into a billionaire , but also won many awards andcelebraited titles.Florecnet Nightingale (1820-1910) “Intermational Nurse Day” is celebrated every year on her birthday. Though born into a rich family,she took up nursing as her career and during the Crimean War,along with the nurses she had trained,took care of the wounded soldiers.She was often seen carrying a lamp while visiting patients at night and got the name“The Lady with the Lamp” Kathryn Bigelow (1951-present) She said she could neither change her gender (性別）nor could she stop making film, and we say she should not because she is good at what she does.The Oscar she won for movie.The Hurt Locker proved that she is exceptionally talented.With this she became the first woman to to receive the Academy Award for Best Director.Amelia Earhart ( 1897-1937) The first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

But nowadays, hats, especially womens hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. Whats more, people now consider many different features (特点) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, its important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face. First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style. As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?25. What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. goodB. strange C. poorD. different26. According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive? A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat. B. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat. C. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim. D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.27. What does the last paragraph suggest? A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm. B. Hats can help you look better in public. C. Hats are not as important as character.D. Hats can make you look much taller.28. What is the best title for the article? A. How to Show Your Social PositionB. How to Improve Your Features C. How to Choose a Proper Hat D. How to Design a Nice HatCFarming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant(不相干的)and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high-rise or a sprawling complex (综合楼) in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the worlds food problems.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those-about 3 billion-are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global population will grow from 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or finding ways to completely increase crop output.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed(封闭的) and regulated environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and the temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night, but according to the rhythm of the plant.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140, 000 people. Their idea is not to grow foods that require much space, like corn or potatoes.Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the consumer, and theres no need to transport it long distances.29What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. The climate is worse and worse.B. The city people live a hard life.C. The world has difficulty feeding its people.D. The worlds population is increasing fast.30The underlined word “buffeted” in Paragraph 2 means“”.A. badly affected B. preventedC. demanded D. well achieved31It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuwss farming.A. helps save sea water a lotB. suits different conditionsC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. suits the production of corn32What is the text mainly about?A. Development of indoor farming.B. Great Revolution in farming.C. Advantages of indoor farming.D. Sunless, rainless indoor farming.D Success doesnt begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals. And your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. Why do we call them baby steps? Are they really anything more than our next step down lifes way?Baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. We see others stepping out and we want to show our ability towalk by following them. As we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. Sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. After that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. If you say to yourself “I dont want to make a fool of myself” or “Id better be good at this”, youll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity.As a culture, we focus on results. We think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. There are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. They fail and succeed. Then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. They practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove them to the whole world.So, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. Know that you can depend on God to show you the way. As you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. Thats how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life.33. In the third paragraph, the writer expresses the view that.A. we cant expect to succeed without working hard at firstB. adults should learn from babies in dealing with hard tasksC. we must make full use of our skills in order to get rewardsD. baby steps play the key role in leading us towards success34. The underlined word “sprint” in the last paragraph probably means“”.A. slow rushB. sudden stopC. hard climb D. fast run35. Whats the writers tone in the text?A. Light-hearted. B. Regretful.C. Encouraging. D. Concerned.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。 What do you think of work? Do you think it is important or unimportant? Most people think it important. 36 First, people have to work to support themselves or their families. 37 Then, work can bring us happiness after we do something for other people or a society. Some people say,“ 38 A scientist sells his brain; an artist sells his genius(才华); a teacher sells his knowledge; a worker sells his labor;” and so on. Thirdly，as a saying goes, “Nobody is born to be a lonely island.” Everyone wants to be accepted by others, and to be a member of a group, a community or a society. 39 Most work takes place with and through other people.

She loved driving very fast, and boasted (吹嘘) of the fact 61 she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished 62 a driving mistake.Then one day, she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policemen in it saw her pass a red light without 63 (stop).When Ms. Mary came before the judge, he looked at her _64_(serious) and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason 65 she had not stopped at red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, _66_ she had simply not seen it.
