a recent research shows that most people would choose the latter. this type of woman is called a nhanzi (“tough woman”). experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in china. su haos friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. for example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “i depend on no one but myself,” she says.according to a recent survey by china youth daily, tough women have become rather common in society. of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. about 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.why are tough women gaining popularity? shen meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” shen says. “in order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” liu xiaolin, professor of psychology at wuhan mental health center, believes tough women are brought up this way. they are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. as a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to liu.though liu believes that this is a good trend, hu shenzhi, a psychologist at the guangdong sunflower counseling center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender(性别) identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding mr. right,” he says. “even if they get married, their manly ccharacteristics might cause family conflicts.25. which of the followings doesnt belong to the characteristics of a tough woman? a. she is independent of others in daily life. b. she is soft and tender to others.c. she is more tolerant to stress. d. she can solve problems usually for men.26. how many respondents like tough women?a. about 10,600. b. about 16,700. c. 21,265. d. about 6,20027. why are there more tough women nowadays?a. because tough women are more lovely.b. because more women want to be independent.c. because girls often love fathers more.d. because of the fierce competition in society.28. what problems may tough women have in their life? a. its difficult for them to be friends. b. they often suffer gender confusion（混淆）.c. they may have difficulty with marriage.d. they have different characteristics form traditional female images.chow do people traditionally manufacture things? they usually start with a sheet of metal, wood or other material and cut, drill (钻) and shave it to create a desired shape. sometimes, they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand, pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part. now, a completely different method is gaining popularity. on oct. 9, 2013, london science museum kicked off its new exhibition, 3-d: printing the future, with over 600 3-d printed objects on display, including space probes (探测器), toy dolls and even human organs basically any product you can think of, reported live science. you might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be “printed out” like a picture. but it is not that hard to understand how it works. just as a traditional printer sprays (喷洒) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-d printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape. instead of ink, the materials the 3-d printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals. the thinner each layer is from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair the smoother and finer the object will be. and objects always come out in one piece, sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward. for example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-d printer might have cost 20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now it costs only about 1000, according to the bbc. in fact, 3-d printers have been around for some time, but until recently they hadnt been very popular since few people could afford them. last year, though, saw a big decrease in the price of 3-d printers. however, as 3-d printing technology becomes more commonplace, it may trigger certain problems. one of them is piracy (盗版). “once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-d printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?” an expert on 3-d printing told forbes news. even more frightening, the worlds first 3-d printed gun was successfully fired in the us in may of this year, which means that 3-d printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.29. according to the article, in the future, 3-d printing technology will probably _.a. change the way people make products b. be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers c. forbid many countries to make purchases of weaponsd. take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy30. what was the big event that happened in the 3-d printing industry last year?a. over 600 3-d printed objects were on display in an exhibition.b. 3-d printing technology came to be used in various fields.c. the worlds first 3-d printed gun was successfully made.d. the 3-d printer became more affordable for consumers.31. what is the authors attitude toward 3-d printing technology?a. amused. b. negative.c. supportive. d. objective. dwith the development of the economy, loose change (零钱) is often ignored by most of us. we have forgotten how those little, round metal pieces can add up. however, if you were a kid that had to clean the house for extra money, youll understand how important it is.when i was a kid, i knew my parents could afford whatever i wanted, but dad made me work for things that were wants. i knew dad always carried a lot of change in his pockets. he had taught me that enough pennies would still get me what i wanted in the end.dad had his favorite reclining chair (躺椅) in his room where he would go after a long day at work. when he reclined in the chair, the change would fall from his pockets onto the floor under the chair, which was really a good chance for me to collect pennies. im sure he realized he had empty pockets when he took his clothes off, but he never said anything and never stopped sitting in the chair.my kids learned early that change worked just as well as dollars and they also knew their dad saw no value in change. in fact, he saw it as a pain-in-the-neck so instead of asking him for money, they always asked if they could have his change.whenever i see a penny on a floor, i always pick it up. theyve come in handy over the years, like at the check stand when someone needs a penny to check out, or my children are twelve cents short of their bus fare - little things, but important things.32. why is loose change ignored at present according to the author? a. because people find it is of no use. b. because loose change is often noisy. c. because loose change isnt easy to carry.d. because peoples lives have improved a lot.33. why did the authors father ask her to work for her own wants? a. to help her earn a lot of money. b. to save enough money for future use.c. to tell her that pennies add up.d. to let her know it was hard to earn money.34. we can infer from paragraph 3 that the authors father _.a. didnt care about loose changeb. taught the author a good lessonc. was really a hard-working person d. was too tired to look after his child35. the underlined word pain-in-the-neck means that the authors husband _ .a. was really richb. was very generousc. had a problem with his neckd. paid little attention to change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。food is life: it gives us the nourishment （营养） we need to stay alive and be healthy. 36 brian wansink, a professor at the university of illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. for some people, ice cream is a comfort food. for others, a bowl of noodles soup makes them feel good. 37 professor wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives. “when i was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; i loved it. 38 and it helps me feel better,” says one of wansinks coworkers. do men and women choose different comfort foods? wansinks research at the university of illinois says “yes”. in his study, the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream. after this, men usually preferred hot, savory （香的） foods like soup or noodles. 39 men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried. 40 about 40 percent of the comfort foods in wansinks study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables. it shows, says wansink, that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you. a. not all comfort food is junk food.b. where can we buy this sort of food?c. sweet foods are also their preference.d. how does a food become comfort food?e. usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy.f. women like sweet things such as chocolate and cookies.g. now, i often have this kind of food when i am tired or worried.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。tom was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure made him a depressed man, often complaining that others had been playing tricks on him. one day he told his wife he was so 41 with the city that he had to leave. so his family moved to 42 city. it was in the evening of a weekend when tom and his wife were busy _43 up their new home 44 the light suddenly went out . so they had to 45 work. tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait 46 in a low mood. just then he heard slight hesitant（犹豫不定的） knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 47 night. “whos it?” he wondered, since tom had no 48 in this new city. and this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed. 49 , he went unwillingly to the door and opened it impatiently. at the door was a little girl, shyly asking,” sir, do you have 50 ?
