pengyu: interest is the best teacher. classrooms that werent fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests. at the same time, they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions. all in all, the new system would be a good chance to inspire students love for studying. sun yao: despite its benefits, im worried about whether the new system would work. going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class. also, not all schools could offer so many different classes. shi zhenghan: i support students learning in different classes. it would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult. teachers could also teach more effectively. whats more, friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise. zhou qingqing: in my opinion, studying in different classrooms might affect students psychological development. they might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly. they would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class. hu qile: i applaud the idea. it would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes. for students, making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible. changing classrooms could also help remove the boredom of doing the same dull routine (惯例) every day. wang xiaoqian: the new system might help with students individual development, but i still prefer the current system. studying in one fixed classroom, students with different academic levels can help each other. spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience. 21. according to sun yao, which of the following sentences is true?a. the new system will work if great measures are taken.b. all the schools cant afford so many different classes.c. students will have more time to relax.d. he supports the system because of its benefits.22. among the following people, who prefers the new system?a. sun yao b. zhou qingqing c. hu qile d. wang xiaoqian23. what is the passage about?a. different opinions about changing classrooms.b. students find it difficult to develop friendship.c. schools should offer different classes to students.d. changing classrooms can help with students individual development.bpierre is a 25-year-old penguin(企鹅)at the california academy of sciences. due to his old age, he was losing his feathers, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool. unlike marine(海生的)mammals, which have a layer of blubber(鲸脂)to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. without them, pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water. “he was cold；he would shake,” said pam schaller, a senior biologist. schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep pierre warm. then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold pacific, why not make one for pierre?schaller designed the suit, which covered pierres body and had small openings for his flippers (鳍).“i would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable.”she said one concern was that the other penguins would reject pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. he swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach. schaller couldnt say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed pierre to recover his fine feathers, but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.24. pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of_.a. having few feathers due to old age b. not having a layer of blubberc. having no wetsuit d. others penguins rejecting him25. the idea of making a wetsuit for pierre came from_.a. total invention b. the use of wetsuit on humansc. the use of heat lamp d. waterproof feathers 26. schaller followed pierre in order to see_.a. whether other penguins would reject himb. whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recoveringc. if the wetsuit kept warmd. if anywhere of the wetsuit needed to be cut and refit 27. the best title of the passage is_.a. unwilling to swim b. old penguin getting bald(秃的) c. wetsuit for an old penguin d. strange look of pierrecgarlos slims proposal that we work a three-day week sounds crazy. but many, in 1922, thought henry ford was crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five-day week.our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do.he certainly could be for those who are not ready to retire and whom he was most concerned about when he made his statement about a three-day week at a business conference in paraguay. as slim said, it no longer made sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they might still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them.“people are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week-perhaps 11 hours a day,” he said.keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a decreasing number of young people who are expected to support long-lived pensioners.he appeared to be suggesting that these short-week workers earned the same as they did full-time. that is what happens at telmex, his mexican telecommunications company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four-day weeks on full pay.older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks at reduced pay-eight or nine hours a day rather than 11. their companies might benefit from keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. what about everyone else? there are those who are unemployed, or in jobs at risk, and who would be delighted to have three secure, well-paid days of work a week.others in hospitals, supermarkets and petrol stations have to work at night, as well as on the weekend that ford made rest time for his employees.but a shorter week would work for many others if their companies agree to it.i have managed about a dozen working parents working three or four days a week. they have, in almost all cases, been more productive and industrious than their colleagues working five days a week. they were generally more focused and better-organised.shorter weeks dont work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition-bound managers think. people living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. slims idea is in tune with times.28. what is the best title for this passage?a. the three-day work per week isnt a great idea.b. the three-day work per week is a great idea.c. the five-day work per week isnt a great idea.d. the five-day work per week is a great idea.29. why does slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire?a. the people in their fifties or sixties have much experience.b. they have many children and old parents to support.c. they have much interest in their former work.d. they have longer life to live in their future.30. why is it reasonable for the older people to continue working?a. it can reduce the youngs pressure to support their old parents.b. it can make the older people live a longer life.c. it can make the older people feel less dull.d. it can make the older people live happier.31. what can we infer from the passage?a. older workers elsewhere specially prefer shorter weeks at reduced pay.b. only a company values old workers working experience by reducing their salaries.c. slim encourages his retired employees to continue working.d. all companies like their employees to work three days per week. done key study published in 2009 in occupational & environmental medicine analyzed data on 3,122 men to see whether the leadership qualities of their managers were associated with a risk for fatal or nonfatal heart attack and death due to heart disease.anna nyberg, the lead author of the study and a researcher at the stress research institute at stockholm university, says theres an important view from the research: “the longer you have worked at a workplace, the better or worse the situation becomes. so if you are working under a boss who stresses you in a destructive manner, and your possibilities or chances to change the situation are limited, you should try to change jobs as soon as possible.”research also has linked the degree to which supervisors demonstrate fairness (such as giving timely back information, including praise, and showing trust and respect) to employees blood pressure. a small 2003 study published in occupational & environmental medicine found that workers blood pressure readings were significantly higher when they worked for supervisors they perceived unfavorably on such characters than when they worked for supervisors they viewed more favorably.a more recent meta-analysis published in 2012 in the journal of applied psychology looked at 279 studies to examine the associations between perceived unfairness and employee health; it found a link between unfairness and mental health complaints, such as depression, and physical troubles, such as sleep problems, high blood pressure and being overweight. “one of the ways that bad bosses work is through splitting people,” oconnor, a psychotherapist in new york, says. “they play favorites and develop a network of informers, so that you dont trust anybody and you really do feel more isolated. you feel that there must be something wrong with me because everybody else seems to be getting along okay.”this produces a fight-or-flight response, which causes your body to begin to change a lot just as it would if you were running from a tiger baring its teeth, kelloway says. your breathing quickens and your heart beats faster as your body prepares to spring into action. when this stress response goes on too long or occurs too often, it can cause damage on the body by promoting other physiological changes that can increase the risk of a-long-time disease. 32. according to anna nyberg, what can you do if you work under an extremely bad boss?a. consult a psychologist.b. complain to people within the workplace.c. quit your job instantly.d. try to get used to the situation.33. the underlined word “splitting” in para 5 is closest in meaning to_.a. scolding b. persuading c. trusting d. separating34. what does the author mainly talk about in the last paragraph?a. why a bad boss can cause diseases.b. ways to reduces stress when faced with a bad boss.c. the troubles of some a-long-time diseases.d. how we can solve problems with bad bosses.35. what might be the best title for the passage?a. how to avoid a bad boss? b. is your boss making you sick?c. how to deal with a bad boss? d. are you working under a good boss?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 must have written your research paper, your personal essay, your book reviewwhatever your school class requires. you think you have provided good information in the needed number of words. 36 but is it really done? many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision. 37 revision of writing is a necessary skill for students. the classroom is a good place to practice patience, concentration and listening. there are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way. you should put away your paper after you have written a first version, or draft. wait several hours, maybe overnight, before working on it more. 38 not only are you refreshed, but youre looking at things through different eyes. thats what revision literally meansto see again through different eyes.following a four-step process may help you with your paper. the first step in the process is invention. it includes forming many questions about your subject. it is called “question-storming”. 39 then comes the revision period. take your time to read what youve written, to think about it, and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now, as a kind of new person looking at it with a readers eyeglasses rather than a writers. the fourth step is called “publication”. 40 in a sense, anytime you turn it over to another person, thats publication. probably, the process takes away some of the tension of writing. and worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing.a. perfect writing is not possible.b. in the second step, you draft and compose a paper.c. and you feel good because your work is finished.d. this is just like returning to a job after a vacation.e. this does not mean your writing is professional publication.f. what is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper.g. in other words, writing well means making needed changes and rewriting.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
