On hot evenings, Id amuse myself with my horses-eight toy horses about three inches high. I was so young that it was out of the question for me to go down the road through the woods to be with a playmate in the evening. Grandmother let me keep my horses in the shadow of her cast-bronze(青铜铸的)cabbage leaf, which sat on a side table in the living room. The leaf was as big as half a watermelon. My horses had to jump upon to the edge of the leaf. Then they would jump into the imaginary pond under the cabbage leaf and swim to the shore. I glued string to rolled paper to make a fence hut the fence wouldnt stand up. Granddad saw the stumper and offered pieces of corrugated cardboard(波纹纸板)in which hed made holes and into which I set my fence posts. I was pleased when he came by my horses, evening newspaper in hand， and asked，How are your horses this evening? When I was grown and married and visited Grandma, my eyes fell on the cabbage leaf. She saw my fixed look. Your grandfather carried that home from an art show in 1911，the year your mother was born,”she said，with tears in her eyes.“I thought it was awful，but it turned out to be a symbol of love. When we moved here before your granddad died we talked about how you played with it at the lake. Take it，my dear.” The bronze cabbage leaf is now on the table in my front hall. Maybe some day my granddaughter will also play with her toy horses around the cabbage leaf.21 .In the second paragraph，the author mainly tells us_ A. the story of the cabbage leaf B. the shape and size of the cabbage leaf C. how she built a fence for her eight toy horses D. how she played with her horses around the cabbage leaf22. The underlined word stumper in Paragraph 3 most probably means_A. chance B. problem C. improvement D. potential23. What can we learn about the cabbage lea即 A. It meant a lot to Grandma. C. The authors mother bought it in 1911.B. The author disliked it at first.D. It belongs to the authors granddaughter.B As a lover of languages and cultures, I am shocked to hear that some people refuse to watch foreign movies just because they are subtitled(配字幕).The actor s voice is of vital importance and the emotions that he or she conveys cannot be conveyed by a person reading a voice-over(画外音). Actors invest a lot of time and energy in preparing for and performing their roles. They try to use various techniques to fully express their emotions. Obviously, an actor s voice is one of the most effective methods to impress the audience. Their unique voices help them to shape the characters they play and bring them to life. When it all comes together, the audience can become lost in the action and the characters become real to them. I have never liked dubbed(配音的)movies. I remember watching a few dubbed movies when I was a child. The voices didnt match the movements of the actors mouths，the dubbed voices were exaggerated, and I knew that those people in the movies werent really speaking English. By the time I was twelve, I was watching subtitled movies and never thought twice about it. Watching subtitled movies from all over the world is highly beneficial. I immediately recognize people speaking Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and Italian when I walk down the street. When I was studying Japanese, watching subtitled movies helped me learn the language and made me a better speaker. I had never heard spoken Swedish until I saw a Swedish movie and I was amazed at some of the similarities between Swedish and English. I laugh when I read movie reviews on Amazon. com where people give movies bad reviews because the DVD only had a subtitled option and no dubbed option. They complain about having to read the movie, as if reading was some difficult task. Not only am I into a movie, reading the subtitle also becomes a pleasure.24. What does the author aim to explain in Paragraph 2? A. How actors impress the audience. B. How actors prepare for their roles. C. The importance of actors voices. D. The difficulties of playing characters.25. When watching dubbed movies as a child, the author felt _. A. excited B. surprised C. relaxed D. dissatisfied26. According to Paragraph 4, watching subtitled movies allows the author to_. A. recognize many famous people B. make friends with some foreigners C. know more about foreign languages D. become good at speaking Swedish27. The reviewers mentioned in the last paragraph_. A. like to watch dubbed movies B. seldom watch movies at home C. have no interest in reading books D. need both subtitled and dubbed moviesC At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced，the printers start working overtime. I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down.” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization. Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an on-line e-mail，even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers. Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.“I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling, said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood，such as agricultural waste.28. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to_. A. the rapid development of small businesses B. the opening up of new markets C. the printing of high quality copies D. the increased use of the Internet29. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because_. A. people are concerned about the environment B. printers in many offices are working overtime C. small companies need more hard copiesD. they see a growing market for printers30. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation，is_. A. to encourage printing more quality documents B . to develop new printers using recycled paper C. to find new materials for making paper D. to plant more fast growing trees31 .What would be the best title for the text? A. Computers and Printers B. E-mail and the Business World C. Internet Revolution and Environment D. Modern Technology and New MarketsD When dolphins get caught accidentally in fishing nets, the outcome is usually terrible. They either get injured or spend their lives in captivity(被关起来)entertaining humans .But while 13-year-old Sampals story began that way, it has a perfect fairy-tale ending. Sampals story began in 2011.when she was accidentally caught by fishermen in the waters off South Korea. However, instead of letting her go, the men sold her to an aquarium. Here, she was placed in a small pool where she spent her days performing tricks for visitors. Sampal was not destined to spend her life in captivity. Shocked by the conditions she was living in, South Korean animal advocates began to help her get free. In 2013，the countrys highest court issued a release order for not just Sampal，but also another two dolphins at the Korean Zoo. At the end of May，the dolphins were handed to the Korean Animal Welfare Association where experts began their work to set the dolphins free, a two-month process that involves placing them inside a sea pen in the open waters. However. Sampal was too impatient to wait that long. On June 22nd，the clever little dolphin found a tiny tear in the net and escaped. For those of you wondering if Sampal may have been a little hurried in her departure, here is some better news. Researchers recently tracked her down 60 miles from where she had escaped and found she was swimming happily with 50 other dolphins that they believe were members of the group she was originally swimming with three years ago. As for the others? One of them is reportedly hanging out with two dolphins from its original group, while the other still seems to he looking for the right group to join. The best news is that all of them seem to have forgotten their captivity experience and appear to he playing happily!32. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Sampal didnt like spending her life in a pool. B. Sampal would have to lose her freedom. C. Sampals life was brought back to normal. D. Sampal would certainly be helped by people.33. Which of the following statements is true? A. Sampal lived a happy life in the aquarium. B. The process of setting a dolphin free is long. C. The order of Korean highest court was intended for Sampal.D. Sampal was found weeping in the net before she escaped.34. What was Sampal doing when researcher found her again? A. She was trying to escape from the net. B. She was waiting impatiently for her companions. C. She was swimming with her group members. D. She was looking for the right group to join.35. We can infer from the last paragraph that_ A. dolphins like living in groups B. dolphins like playing games C. dolphins are forgetful D. dolphins are good at looking for partners第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to not be a slave to technology Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, shared four of his most important tools for applying technology more productively .and building a work life that supports-rather than wastes-your energy. Build daily rituals(习惯). 36 Build highly specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until it becomes as automatic as brushing your teeth at night. The best way to prioritize(优先考虑)what is important to us and make sure we actually do the things we care about is to create highly specific habits. Take a first things first approach to your mornings. 37 Ninety-five percent of people have more energy early in the morning than they do as the day wears on，and they also have fewer distractions(干扰).So if that is the case, why would not you do the most important thing when you have the most energy? Use technologies selectively. If you expose yourself to different forms of technology continuously, they will pull you in the ways a drug would。even when you know it is not serving you well. Keep technological temptations(诱惑物)away when you find yourself getting too distracted-or as Schwartz puts it 38 39 Many of us live our lives in a gray zone-we are not fully focused on work when we areworking, and during our leisure time, we are not fully relaxed. This leaves us feeling distracted. Schwartzs s advice? 40 Applying less than your full focus does not just make you less productive; distraction keeps you from being fulfilled by and connected to your work. Distraction is the enemy to meaning.A. Be intentional with your energy.B. Do the most important thing first every day.C. Taking breaks throughout the workday is a nice thought.D. If you are trying to lose weight，dont have cupcakes in the fridge.E. We have crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information coming at us.F. When youre working, youre really working; and when youre relaxing, youre really relaxing.G. The only way to ensure that things that arent urgent but are important happen is to develop habits.第三部分英语知识运用(满分30分)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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The moment I stepped off the plane after a writers conference, my youngest son Jeremy greeted me and cried out，Poster paper, Mama!
