Influenced by his father, he enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting at his early age. In 1917, after graduation from high school, Hemingway began his writing career with The Kansas City Star. And then, after being refused for army service in World War I because of poor eyesight, he volunteered to serve as a driver for an American ambulance unit in France. In 1918, he transferred to duty on the Italian front(前线), where he was seriously wounded in an explosion. After his recovery, he returned home. He worked for The Toronto star, covered the Greco-Turkish war as a foreign reporter, and then returned to Paris, which was a city full of intellectual life, creativity, and genius after the war. In Paris, where he accomplished a revolution in literary style and language, his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, appeared in 1923, and was followed by a short story collection In Our Time, which marked his entry to American literature in 1925.Hemingways status(地位) as a remarkable writer of his time was set with the publication of A Farewell to Arms in 1929. The novel represented a farewell(告别) both for war and for love. In 1937, he became a foreign reporter covering the Spanish Civil war. Three years later, he published For Whom the Bell Tolls. Set in Spain during the Civil war, the novel restated(重述) his view of love found and lost and described the tough(坚韧的) spirit of the common people. In 1912, the same view was expressed in his portrait of fisherman, Santiago, with an indomitable spirit in defeat（失败）, in The Old Man and the Sea, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. With one of the most important influences on the development of the American short story and novel, Hemingway has seized the imagination of the American public like no other twentieth-century author. He died by suicide, in Ketchum, Idaho, in 1961.25. Hemingway was turned down for army service in World war I because _.A. he was uneducated B. he was in poor conditionC. he was inexperiencedD. he couldnt see well 26. Which is the correct order of the following events given in this passage? a. Hemingways work For Whom the Bell tolls came out. b. Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature. c. Hemingways first book was published in Paris. d. Hemingway got wounded on the Italian front. e. Hemingway covered the Greco-Turkish war as a foreign reporter.A. d, e, c, a, bB. e, c, d, a, bC. a, c, e, b, dD. c, e, a, b, d27. The underlined word “indomitable” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. unendingB. unselfishC. unbendingD. unchangingCChinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd, the largest global gaming provider and the operator of QQ, has launched a series of scientific exploration events aimed at urging young people to explore the outside world, instead of being constantly absorbed(全神贯注的) online.The company said it hopes to establish itself as a cool scientific brand that lives up to corporate social responsibilities. As a gaming company, it doesnt worry about losing game players. Instead, it hopes that players can actually go out to learn more and broaden their horizons.QQ has been in the market for 18 years, but it is not aging, and its app has become younger and trendier. “We hope that more young Chinese can use the app to connect with different people and views worldwide.” said Li Dan,general manager of the marketing department of the social network group at Tencent.According to Tencent, the number of active users of QQ who are 21 years old or younger has been constantly increasing, and they tend to use the app for a longer time.Starting on May 22 of last year, QQ organized free trips for young people to the Galapagos islands, Namibia, Spain and the Antarctic, but it didnt reveal(揭露) the specific amount it contributed to those trips.During each trip, it selected three to four participants from those who uploaded videos and made specific travel plans online. The finalists stand out with their clear video statements and their enthusiasm about going on adventures.Tencents approach appears to be contradictory(矛盾的) to its own interests. But, in fact, its approach fits the companys long-term growth strategy(策略) and will improve its business by creating a good social image.28.What is the aim of Tencents plan?A. To encourage young people to explore the outside world.B. To provide more exciting online games.C. To encourage more young people into online gaming.D. To promote its newly-launched game.29. Which can we learn from the passage?A. QQ has been in the market for more than two decades.B. The number of active users of QQ has been dropping recently.C. Tencent is the largest global gaming provider.D. Tencent is now concerned about losing game players.30. If you want to be selected to go on free trips, you should probably _.A. be enthusiastic about gaming on lineB. make specific travel plansC. download more Tencent gamesD. use QQ to apply31. Whats the authors attitude towards Tencents approach?A. Objective.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Positive.DIf you regularly feel anxious, you might be the perfect candidate(候选人) for a dog bite.According to a new study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, dog bites in the United Kingdom may be three times more common than official records indicate. One surprising reason for this? People with an emotionally anxious personality appear to be the ones who are most at risk of dog bites, researchers said.“The only official statistics collected on dog bites in the UK are hospital admissions, not even visits to emergency rooms for treatments,” lead study author Carri Westgarth, from the University of Liverpool, said, “We have no idea how many people are actually bitten by dogs and how many bites require medical treatment.” To obtain more accurate information, Westgarth and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 people in 385 households in the small town of Cheshire about their dog-bite experience. Veterinary(兽医的) students went door-to-door, conducting brief interviews with Cheshire residents about dog ownership, and then left more detailed questionnaires with the willing participants.The questionnaires asked any participants who had been bitten by dogs to give a description of one biting incident, providing information on how old they were at the time of the bite, their relationship to the dog and whether they looked for medical attention afterward.Right away, the researchers found that the rate of dog-bite incidents reported by Cheshire residents was greatly larger than the national average indicated by official hospital records. Men were nearly twice as likely as women to have been bitten in their lifetimes. About 44 percent of bites occurred in childhood, and 55 percent of bites were by dogs that the victims had never met before the incident. “Other research suggests that most bites are from familiar dogs but this challenges that,” Westgarth said.Most surprising, though, was an obvious link between dog bites and the participants who scored lowest for emotional stability(稳定) on the personality test. The more emotionally unstable a person was, the more likely they were to have been bitten by a dog.32. The official statistics collected on dog bites are from _.A. visits to emergency rooms for treatmentsB. hospital admissionsC. victims reports to policeD. a survey conducted by the university33. What kind of question is included in the questionnaire?A. How old were the dogs when they were bitten?B. Did they keep a dog in their home?C. Did they receive treatments after they were bitten?D. How many people in their family have ever been bitten before?34. What have the researchers found from the survey results?A. Most people were bitten by dogs they knew.B. Women are more likely to be bitten by dogs.C. The real rate of dog-bite incidents is lower than the national average level.D. A person who is emotionally unstable is more likely to be bitten by a dog.35. What might be the best title for the text?A. Anxious People are at Higher Risk of Dog Bites B. What Your Pet Dog Says about Your PersonalityC. Some Strange Dog Behaviors Explained by ScienceD. People Can Benefit from Keeping a Dog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。 Does eating grapefruit burn fat?Where did the myth (荒诞的说法) come from? People seem to believe that theres something magical(有魔力的) about grapefruit that it helps burn fat. _36_ Its probably based on the fact that, years ago, grapefruit juice was used by housewives for cleaning fat stains(污点). While it might be good at breaking down(溶解) fat stains, it doesnt work like that once its in the body. _37_ Again, no facts show that this is true._38_The American Dietetic Association has shown that this “long-held myth is wishful thinking” and that grapefruit doesnt help people lose weight or burn fat. Of course, if youre only going to have half a grapefruit for breakfast instead of several kinds of fatty foods, then youre going to lose weight. However, it has nothing to do with grapefruit. _39_ So is there no hope? The only way to lose weight is to watch what you eat and take some exercise. Grapefruit is full of vitamins (维生素) that the body needs, so its a good food to include in your meals. _40_ A. Whats the truth?B. Others believe that it increases metabolism(新陈代谢) and helps burn fat.C. But this is just scientifically rubbish.D. Which food is a better choice?E. Its just that youre having light meals. F. Here is some advice on losing weight fast and safely.G. But its not going to help you lose weight magically. 第3部分 英语知识运用（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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A common saying goes, rose given, fragrance(香味) in hand.
