At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.Also, Roman roads were cambered (拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the roads destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.21. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _.A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineersB. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we dont use todayC. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mileD. Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire22. What information can you find on the milestones?A. The builders of the road. B. The materials used in building roads.C. The distance from one city. D. The time spent in building roads.23. The passage mainly _.A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievementsC. shows how great the Roman Empire wasD. introduces the construction of the Roman roadsBHeat might explain why we lost our fur and now strike an upright and slim pose（姿势）. If our ancestors lived somewhere really hot, the theory goes, it would have made sense for us to lose body hair, start sweating more, bee slender(修长的) and even walk uprightto create distance between our bodies and the hot ground. A new study supports the theory that heat helped drive human evolution(进化), by showing that a key source of human evolution in East Africa has indeed been really hot for at least four million years. “Its something thats been hard to get at,” said Ben Passey, a geochemist(地球化学家) at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. “Its nice to say that these body features would be advantageous to live in hot and open environments. But was it actually hot and open?”To find out, Passey and his colleagues analyzed dated soil examples from the Turkana Basin, a well-studied region in Kenya and Ethiopia that contains lots of fossils(化石) from our human and pre-human ancestors. In particular, they looked at weighted carbon and oxygen atoms, called isotopes(同位素). Their results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that dirt in the Turkana Basin has remained above about 85 degrees Fahrenheit with spikes(尖状物) above 95 degrees Fahrenheit over the past four million years. Since soil absorbs heat from the air, it means that the region has been really hot for a really long time. “There is no question that the results are fascinating,” said Harvard anthropologist（人类学家）, Daniel Lieberman, who studies how and why the human body looks the way it does.For one thing, at some point we developed a unique ability to control our body temperature while running, which might have helped people catch prey (猎物) in hot and dry conditions. “The hotter it is, the more humans have an advantage over other mammals, especially when running.”“No one knows for sure when we lost our fur,” he added. “But this paper provides strong evidence that the right climatic conditions were present for a long time.”24. What is the main idea of the text? A. Heat made humans lose their fur. B. Heat caused humans to walk upright.C. Heat helped the evolution of humans. D. Heat affected the height of our ancestors.25. The main aim of Passeys study is to find out_.A. why Africa is suitable for humans to live in B. how many types of fossils there are in the Turkana BasinC. what the climatic conditions were like four million years agoD. whether East Africa is the key source of human evolution26. According to Daniel Lieberman, _.A. the result of Passeys study is not satisfactoryB. controlling the body temperature helped catch preyC. a hot climate was not helpful for human evolutionD. humans ran faster than other animals in winter27. Which of the following statements about East Africa is TRUE?A. The high temperature in this area has been stable for a long time.B. It was one of the toughest places for human ancestors to bear.C. Few people studied the Tukana Basin before Passey.D. The soil has remained over 95 degrees F for a long time. CAs puters bee more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on puter keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the puter too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a puter as early as primary school. And puter dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a puter.All the students interviewed say they usually use a puter.Its faster and easier to correct if using a puter. And thats why puters are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in puters increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a puter, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with puter keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes pulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.28The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.A. getting bored with B. getting dependent onC. being crazy about D. getting curious about29The students interviewed prefer to write using a puter mainly because _.A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyB. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. puters have bee a trend and fashion in China30Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writers emotions.B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.C. Handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.D. The writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting31Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. To Type or to Handwrite.B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C. Writing by puter Will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.DTelemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet, or when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities. Telemedicine has existed for a long time, but the rise of smart phones, tablets and webcam-equipped puters is raising telemedicine to new levels. Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care, patients see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home. Diana Rae is a nurse educator in the western state of Washington. She recently showed how Virtual Urgent Care works. She used an iPad tablet and skype the video chat service. Doctor Green has the patient describe her symptoms, then the doctor performs a physical exam by demonstrating what he wants her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection. For medicine, he prescribes an antibiotic. He says about 3 out of 4 patients have health problems that can be treated like this through Virtual Urgent Care, that means a video chat could replace a visit to the doctors office. The Franciscan Health System is based in Taa, Washington. Franciscan charges $35 for this kind of virtual house call, that is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctors office or an urgent care clinic.After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says, “I wouldve paid twice that for the convenience of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get exposed to everyone elses germs.” Franciscan has a deal with a pany called Carena to add virtual urgent care by Skype or phone. Carena is one of several panies doing this kind of work around the country. But a pany official says state rules have not kept progress with developments in telemedicine. The workers who provide virtual urgent care must be separately licensed in each state where the pany does business. For now, that means Carena doctors can treat patients in Washington state and California for example, but not in neighboring Oregon or Idaho.32.The second paragraph is mainly used to show _.A. why telemedicine bees popular B. the advantages of telemedicineC. what telemedicine is D. many factors contribute to telemedicine33. Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection _.A. through his observation of the patient B. through a careful examinationC. by prescribing an antibiotic D. by knowing what he wants her to do34. The major health problems, in Doctor Greens opinion, _.A. are tough to deal with B. can be treated through a video chatC. should result from work pressure D. nearly cost little to recover35.By mentioning what Diana Rae says, the author wants to show _.A. he finds it convenient to see a doctor by using a video chatB. he sings high praise for this kind of treatment formC. he must be tired of waiting too long in the hospitalD. it should be very unhealthy while staying in hospital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。You often find somebody who works around you plaining all the time, dont you? 36 About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop plainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.1. Self-awarenessWhen a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “Thats a nice shirt, but I cant afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.” 37 .Of course, everyone plains sometimes. But the less frequently you plain, the better you will feel.2. Distance yourself 38 Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (困境).3. Dont try to change plainersIf you find yourself trapped in a group of plainers in a meeting or at a social event, simply choose silence. Let their words bounce (弹起) off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the plaining can make you a target. 39 If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “Im glad I rested up over the weekend, so Im ready to make some improvement on that big project.”4. 40 When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, plainers dont really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to plain to. If so, you will be happy.A. Find solutionsB. Change responsibilityC. You have got a lot of pany.D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.E. But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.F. You will never know what they are going to talk about.G. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.第三部分 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。“Paul must have been trying to carry his waste paper to garbage can and dropped a few pieces.” I _41_ , picking them up. _42_ later I found more pieces.
