It helps you understand mon expressions when you are studying English.Now, lets say you are a regular listener to the show and you want to learn t he meaning of the saying to be cut from the same cloth. So you write to us requesting more information. Then I write a show about that expression. You could say that program is tailor-made just for you. We will explain it like this: A tailor makes mens clothing. When a tailor goes to work, he or she first takes measurements. The tailor then makes clothing for just that individual, not a group of people. We call that kind of clothing tailor-made.But now, lets get back to our earlier expression to be cut from the same cloth. When making a business suit, a tailor cuts the coat from the same piece of cloth. This way, the color and quality of the material match. Lets say Felix and Catherine design video games. The two young designers both want to design good games that help children. They also have the same sense of humor. So, you could say they are cut from the same cloth.They are also good friends. So if Catherine were in need, Felix would give her the shirt off his back. Now, we praise people who roll up their sleeves and who give you the shirt off their backs. We tip our hats to these people.OK, another phrase. Catherine has been out of work for a month, and she is on pins and needles for months, hoping for a job offer. Tailors often use pins and needles when making clothes. Most pins and needles are made of metaland they are sharp! They would hurt you if you sat on them. So if you are on pins and needles, you are anxiously waiting for something to happen.21. How can we describe twins according to the passage?A. They are tailor-made.B. They are on pins and needles.C. They are cut from the same cloth.D. They tip their hats to each other.22. In which situation may we give a friend the shirt off our backs?A. He has done a good deed. B. He is lacking in food.C.

A TV show.BI found a police report that had been filed in Florida 17 years before. It said a boy was hit and his body was thrown 19 yards. But he wasnt thrown; he was dragged that far and caught in the chains of the truck. It said someone fled the scene, but that someone was my older brother, Alex, and he didnt flee. He rushed over to his friend, but the boy was already dead. It said ButAlex had just turned 15. This was the day we never spoke about. We thought it would make a difference in helping him step out of the shadow of that accident. So I didnt bring it up until one night, when we were 30 and 31, I asked if he ever thought about the day Jonathan died. But he responded with an unpleasant laugh and a cold silence.Before the accident, we were inseparable. After the accident, we didnt have words for any conversation. I was desperate to reconnect and convinced that the only way to do so was to get as close as I could to that day.I tracked down the police report. I wrote down the drivers name and found his phone number. I told him I wanted to know about an accident he was involved in back in 1999. He told me it was the hardest time in his life. I told him I wanted to find a way to take away my brothers pain.“You cant.” he said “But if you want to lessen it, let him talk to you, and once those words start ing, youll realize that asking is the easy part. Listening is the hard part.” I hung up the phone but didnt stop there. I tracked down the witnesses.A year after the first phone call, I met with my brother and told him about the people I had spoken to and what they had said, and his instinct(本能) was to confirm and correct each detail. That was my opening, and his too. Later I was able to ask what no one in my family ever had: “Could you just start at the beginning and tell me everything?”And he did.24.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. The Accident No One Talked AboutB. The Experience Shaping My BrotherC. The Question No One Cared AboutD. The Moment Changing My Brothers LifeCResearch finds that children who play violent games or watch violent TV can bee violent themselves, but what drives this change? Are the kids simply copy what they see on the screen, or could gaming have a more profound effect on their brains, affecting behavior?To explore that question, Dr. Vincent Matthews and his colleagues at Indiana University, who have long studied media violence, looked at what happened in the brains in 28 students who were randomly assigned to play either a violent, first-person shooter game or a non-violent one every day for a week. None of the participants had much previous gaming experience.At the start of the study, researchers used functional MRI to scan brain activity in the participants, all young adult men, while they pleted lab-based tasks involving either emotional or non-emotional content. The participants were then scanned again while they repeated the same tasks after a week of playing the video games.Researchers found that those who played the violent video games showed less activity in areas that involved emotions, attention and inhibition(抑制) of our impulses(冲动). “Behavioral studies have shown an increase in aggressive behavior after violent video games, and what we show is the psychological explanation for what the behavioral studies are showing,” say Matthews. “Were showing that there are changes in brain function that are likely related to that behavior.”Its not clear how long-lasting the changes may be. When Matthews brought the participants back after a week of not playing video games, their brain activity had changed again, recovering to more normal reactions, but their brain functions still werent quite the same as before they were exposed to the violent games.28. What do we know about the participants?A. Both teenagers and adults were chosen.B. The participants had never played any puter games before.C. 28 participants were all young adult men.D. The participants were carefully divided into two groups.29. After playing a violent video game, a person is more likely to be _.A. concentrativeB. impulsiveC. calmD. tired30. What does the underlined part “more profound” in Paragraph I most probably mean?A. Greater.B. Shorter.C. More negative D. More positive.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Causes Children to Be ViolentB. How Matthews Carried Out His StudyC. Say “No” to puter GamesD. How Playing Violent Video Games May Change the BrainD More and more ments sections are being shut down online.Autumn Phillips had had enough. On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad-City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, qctimes. , and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers ments section at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing string of ments a racist remark about democratic(民主的) voters, a negative ment about police So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the ments section.Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced it too was closing its online ments section. The decisions dont mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that ments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had.In the early days of digital journalism, ments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a wele change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and wele evolution. Sadly, thats not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, ments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, ments seem out of place today.“Since we made the announcement, Ive received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “Ive heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online ments. Ive heard from people who said they wouldnt send in letters to the editor because they were attacked so fiercely by ments, and it wasnt worth it.”32. Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the ments section?A. It was put to wrong use.B. Her website was attacked heavily.C. It exposed many illegal issues.D. She was angry about readers ments.33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 indicate about ments?A. They were out of date.B. They had gone against their original intentions.C. They were full of sensitive informationD. They couldnt interest the audience.34. What was the wele change in the early digital journalism?A. Readers having more access to news.B. Readers making less negative ments.C. Readers freedom to express their thoughts.D. Readers active involvement in the new industry.35. How do many readers feel about Autumn Phillips move?A. Cautious.B. Hopeful.C. Surprised.D. Grateful.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，共15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。How to Be Good at Sports If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them.

Almost every culture in the world has 62 (it) own taboos. When you meet people from different cultures, it is important 63 (understand) what you can and cannot do. If we are not aware 64 these differences, some unusual 65 (thing) might happen. For instance, in China, it 66 (be) rude to put the chopsticks into a bowl of rice straightly as it is often done for the dead. If you visit Nepal, you will find Nepalese often greet each other with the hands pressed together instead of shaking hands, 67 in North America and the UK, people greet one another by 68 (shake) hands. If you will do business with a South American, it seems 69 (impolitely) to be dressed in the light colors. What about Japanese? They dislike the lotus(莲花) and 70 not give it as a gift to Japanese because they regard it as the mourning flower. While these different customs might seem strange to you, remember that what you consider normal probably seems just as unusual to others.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加: 在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除: 把多余的词用斜线( )划掉。修改: 在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意: 1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。Everyone should take the action to reduce haze(雾霾), which is harmless to our health. First of all, I believe that if we plant more tree, there will be less haze in their city. Trees can absorb exhaust fumes(尾气) from cars, thus reduce pollution. Second, the government should punish the factories where produce too many fumes. Exhaust fumes is the main cause of haze and do greatly harm to peoples health. Maybe we can move factories to areas where few people live. Third, I think it was a great idea to encourage people to use public transportation. Last but not least, we can call on citizens ride bikes if they travel short j
