The colors of Zakimis pencil drawings are calming and Georges poetic text tells her story with simple language.Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora. Pandora lives alone. She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit. Then one day something falls from the sky - a bird with a broken wing. Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely. Turnbulls watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.Prince and Pirate (G.P. Putnams Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium（水族馆）. At first it seems that theyll never learn to be friends. Its only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But its Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts（面对）the unknown creature. Helen Oxenburys soft watercolors create a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive. 21. Who pictured the book Pandora? A. Kallie GeorgeB. Victoria TurnbullC. Paola ZakimiD. Charlotte Gunnufson22. Which book tells a story about courage?A. PandoraB. Secrets I KnowC. Prince and PirateD. The Giant Jumperee23. What do the four books have in common?A. Their publishers are the same one. B. Their characters are all animals.C. They all have pencil drawings. D. They are all for younger readers.BOne evening last summer, when I asked my 17-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response surprised me, “Whats a colander（漏勺）?” he asked.I could only blame myself. Nobodys hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadnt prepared Ray for. I felt confident that Id raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do. But could he boil water? Sew on a button? Wash his clothes without turning them pink? No, no and no. Suddenly it hit me: Hed be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to set a spoiled prince into the world.As parents, while we focus on our childs confidence and character, we perhaps dont always consider that we are also raising someones future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that Id raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “Whats for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didnt say no.For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for toasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust（馅饼皮）and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.Three of my four grandparents were tailors, so Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics, like mending a split seam or refastening a button. One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white shirts or put sweaters in the dryer. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother - he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive - but it couldnt be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes theres nothing masculine（男子气的）about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too. Thats what I call a man.24. Hearing her sons question, the author felt _. A. shockedB. angryC. disappointedD. calm25. We can learn from the text that Ray _.A. made great progress in cooking B. preferred sewing to cookingC. was unwilling to take the course at first D. always thought it attractive to do housework26. The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” shows that Ray _.A. fell in love with houseworkB. did other work in the houseC. acknowledges the authors effortsD. began to be more independent27. What would be the best title for the text?A. Are Women Programmed for Housework?B. Should Boys Be Involved in Housework?C. Im Proud Ive Raised a Curious Son D. A Present for My Future Daughter-in-lawCMany people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica. Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line. Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice. Every time penguins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!People like the film very much. So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime. A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin. Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them. He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguins colors, its way of standing straight upright and the way it walks.”These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things. For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance. But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy. The penguins colour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguins white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. And from above, other animals cannot see the penguins black back against the dark ocean floor.The penguins colors protect them in nature. But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans. They make animals seem cute to people. Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even objects that may look like parts of a baby.Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way. A study done at the University of Michigan tested young peoples reactions to images. It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture. The researchers showed the young people two messages. One was a simple anti-smoking message. The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad. The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.28. In the film “March of the Penguins”, _. A. a baby penguin is stolen B. a penguin is sent out as a giftC. penguins are cute and attractiveD. penguins have a bad sense of balance29. It can be inferred from the passage that _ . A. a walking penguin has more energy than a swimming one B. a penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from falling C. a shop selling baby products are likely to make more money D. a website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors30. Scientists have found that the penguins color can _.A. change at different places B. help them keep warm C. make people have pity on themD. protect them from being hunted31. The study carried out by the University of Michigan shows that _.A. cute messages mislead people B. cuteness influences peoples judgmentC. humans react to anything that is cute D. a simple message is more convincing than a cute messageDWhen you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But youd be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalize which results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a users search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. Its also possible to disable personalized ads and results. Googles search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesnt mean they wont share interests with others.32. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. decoratingB. removingC. personalizingD. protecting33. Princeton University created bots to _.A. explain why different websites are personalizedB. offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC. assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites 34. Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization?A. Google and Yahoo B. eBay and GoogleC. Amazon and eBay D. Amazon and Yahoo35. What is this passage mainly about?A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.B. Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.C. Personalization of different sites will lead to users privacy being violated.D. Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.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。The modern competitive sport of weightlifting originated in 19th-century Europe and was included in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. 36 At that time, simple competitions were held to see who could lift the heaviest weight.The first worldwide weightlifting championships were held in London in 1891. At that time, there were no female competitors. Today, the World Weightlifting Championships, organized by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), are held every year. 37 Weightlifting as an Olympic event got off to an unsmooth start. It was not held as a separate event in the first games held in 1896, but as a field event. 38 The sport returned to the Olympics again in 1904, this time as part of the athletics program. Not until 1920 did weightlifting make its real Olympic comeback. The 1920 Olympic Games, held in Antwerp, Belgium, marked weightliftings debut（首次露面）as a separate event. 39 Previously, weightlifters in the Olympics were all required to compete against each other, regardless of their size. One-hand lifting was dropped from the sport in 1928. Various weightlifting exercises were added and later removed over many years until 1972. 40 The 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney saw the introduction of the womens competition, although the IWF has held the World Weightlifting Championships for women since 1987. A. The 1940 and 1944 Games were canceled.B. It is a sport in which barbells are lifted competitively.C. The 1900 Games had no weightlifting presence at all.D. The championships include 15 separate weight types for both men and women.E. The 1972 Olympic Games finally presented the weightlifting program in its present form.F. The sport, however, dates back to ancient civilizations including China, Egypt and Greece.G. The Antwerp Games also introduced one-hand lifting and weight divisions to the new event.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，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。Twelve-year-old Allen decided to leave home city and make a living by himself because his family was too poor.
