The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多样性；差异) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892. Frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism(个人主义), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture was formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism(多元化); almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.21.We can learn from this article that _.A. the population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groupsB. the early immigrants brought about the unique American cultureC. people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique cultureD. the American family members dont get along well with each other22.Whats the authors attitude towards American culture?A. He is critical of it.B. He admires it very much.C. He just states the facts.D. He looks down upon it.23.What might be the most suitable title of this article?A. The Immigrants in AmericaB. Why American Culture is UniqueC. The Influence of American CultureD. Plural Religion and American CultureBTo win an Oscar is an achievement at any age. To do so at 22, as Jennifer Lawrence has, is just amazing. Recently, the American star won Best Actress at this years Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazines Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who“lends a mature intelligence to any ro1e”.Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, Lawrence wasnt sure what she really liked doing before the ageof l4. She thought shed go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.Lawrences two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student. Unlike them, she sufferedthrough school, never quite finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition(试镜).“I read the script(剧本)and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this,”Lawrence said. “Within 20 minutes,in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didnt want to be a model. In fact,I wanted to be an actress.”Having appreciated this young ladys performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest-grossing(票房最高的)female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America”.24. What can we know about Jennifer Lawrence from Paragraph 3?A. Her parents were really strict with her.B. She seemed not to fit in with her school days well.C. Her school performance made her todays fame.D. Her two brothers were doing well in all school subjects.25.

Winning YoungD. Following DreamsCHiking, also walking for a long distance in the countryside is one of lifes simple and cheap pleasures. But is it safe? Sports writer Mark Waters considers the risks.Imagine the following.One day, Ronald decided to take up hiking. The next Sunday, he got up early, threw a sandwich and a bottle of water into a bag and headed for Sai Kung Country Park. Before going, he quickly looked at a map and decided that he could easily walk from the bus stop at Park Tam Chung to the beach at Dai Long Wan.After walking for hours and hours under the hot sun, Ronald started to feel tired. He reached for his water but found that the bottle was empty. Then he smelt smoke and saw a fire. In a panic, he called 999. However, when he got through to the police, he couldnt tell them where he was because he didnt have a map.Think about it.Put yourself in Ronalds shoes. How could you stop this of thing happening to you? One way is to be know the following common types of danger.Getting lostFoggy weather is one reason why some walkers get lost. However, a more common one is not having enough knowledge of the hiking route. Always remember to bring a map and dont be too confident. Always choose a route that is right for you.Heat stroke(中暑)The summer in Hong Kong is very hot and wet. Many hikers forget this and walk for too long in the midday heat. They become hot and feel weak. Dont forget during exercise, it is necessary to drink 100 to 200 milliliters of water every 15 to 20 minutes.AccidentSome of Hong Kongs paths are very hazardous and its not unknown for hikers to fall. Never walk alone and always bring a map and a mobile phone with you.Hill fireOn average, over 10,000 hill fires a year take place in Hong Kong, injuring more than 600 people. Never light fires in non-marked areas and, if you see a hill fire, report it. Always stay calm and walk away from the fire into the wind.28.What can we learn about Ronald?A.

Long.B. Narrow.C. Complex.D. Dangerous.31.What is the best title for the text?A. Hiking Routes in MountainsB. When Fun Turns into TroubleC. Hill Fires and How to Avoid ThemD. The Adventures of Ronald the HikerDScience textbooks around the world have become suddenly out of date.Four new chemical elements have been added to the periodic table.A big decision now lies aheadelements 113, 115, 117 and 118 need to be given their official names and symbols.New elements can be named after a mythical(神话的) concept, a mineral, a place or country, a property(性质) or a scientist.The names have to be unique and maintain“historical and chemical consistency”.This means a lot of“-iums”.“Theyre Latinising the name,”explains chemist Andrea Sella.“The most recent tradition is to name them after places or people.”The place chosen tend to be where the element was discovered or first produced.No one has yet named an element after themselves but many elements are named in honour of important scientists.Albert Einstein was given einsteinium.This can also be a way of righting the wrongs of the past.“Lise Meitner was really the chemist who spotted nuclear fission(核裂变) but she was never really recognized for it because she was Jewish and a woman.”says Sella.“Giving an element a name that reminds us of her is greatly important.”The naming process isnt quick.The scientists who discovered them will start things off by suggesting a name.But it will be down to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry(IUPAC) to approve it.A special division of the US-based group has to accept the suggestion.Then there is a public review period of five months before the IUPAC gets the final approval.Once its ready, the name is announced in the scientific journal Pure and Applied Chemistry.Naming an element is not just about functionality.Names are always important.32. What is the function of Paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topic.B.To present a finding.C.To point out a problem.D.To call for a decision.33. Why was Lise Meitner mentioned in the naming process in Paragraph 4?A.To praise her.B.To build her reputation.C.To correct the wrongs of the past.D.To end racial discrimination34. Who has the final say in the naming process of an element?A.The scientist who discovered it.B.The special division of the US-based group.C.The scientific journal Pure and Applied Chemistry.D.The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.35. What is the passage mainly about?A.How elements get their names.B.Why science textbooks are out of date.C.How new elements are discovered.D.How important naming an element is.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。Four Ways to Make Your Shoes Feel BetterAccording to the American Podiatric Medical Association, the vast majority of people experience foot pain at some point in their lives.The reason for most foot pain is that shoes fit poorly or force the feet into unnatural shapes. 36 . Aside from carefully selecting the right shoes, there are some easy measures you can take to keep foot pain at bay.1.Stretch Your ShoesIf your feet are rubbing against your shoes, this could indicate that you need more width, length or both.However, sometimes going to the next larger size is not an option, as the next size may be too large. 37 .2.Using Shoe InsertsBoth podiatrists(足病医生) and those in the shoe repair industry often recommend inserts to increase shoe comfort. 38. Determining the best insert for your shoes depends on what hurts.3. 39 The way you lace(用带子系紧) your shoes can make a world of difference in their comfort.Lacing them too tightly or incorrectly can make your feet hurt.Cramped toes, rubbing on the top of the foot, and pressure on the big toe can likely be relieved if you lace your shoes differently.4.Wearing Socks40. They are usually made of cotton or nylon.Not only do they add an extra layer of cushion to your shoes but they also keep your feet from sweating.This prevents moisture(水汽) from forming in the shoes.Moisture in your shoes can cause blisters and calluses on your feet.A.Adjusting Shoe LacesB.Buy Shoes without Shoe LacesC.There are a lot of shoe inserts to choose fromD.Therefore, you need to know the size of the shoes that are fit for your feetE.In fact, ill-fitting shoes are a top cause of foot painF.Socks are of great help to add more comfort to your shoesG.In this case stretching the shoes may be a good solution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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I used to love to swim as a boy.

In the beginning, I always kept silent in our oral class to avoid make mistakes. Before long my teacher got to know about his situation, he encouraged me to speak out that I thought. Whenever I made mistakes and felt discouraging, my teacher and my classmate would help me to find out my problem. I also joined in an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice made perfect. Now I can talk fluent in English.Just as the saying goes, “Every bean has its black”.Dont be afraid
