what the hell, if we werent different, wed be like clones（克隆）! looks dont get you much. i mean, look at my boyfriend, jake. he broke up with me right after i told him about my disease.”tears flooded lyras eyes and i hugged her, feeling my own tears pouring down my face. “as much as i wanted jake to forget me,” she continued, “a part of me wanted him to be there with me when i leave so i wouldnt be afraid. i thought he would stay, but he chose to leave.”my cousin took my hands in hers, “one day, youll meet the perfect guy wholl treat you for who you are and understand you and love you. one day we all do, if we keep going. i will never have enough time to meet that guy. but robin, you do.the same night, lyra passed away. it broke my heart, seeing my only friend in the whole world leave like that. but even as the last beats in the heart monitor trailed off （变弱，停止）, i knew lyra had changed my life forever. she had made me realize something important: that each and every one of us is a cinderella（灰姑娘）, and we mustnt let our evil stepsisters get in between us and our destiny（命运，定数）.46. according to the passage, which of the following events did not upset robin? a. a customer mistook her for a 20-year-old worker. b. a friend hurt her by calling her ugly behind her back.c. her sister called her ugly saying something really cruel. d. her cousin showed no sympathy to what she was going through. 47. what was the purpose of lyras words? a. to show robin how jealous she was. b. to encourage robin to be who she is. c. to express her willingness to stay longer.d. to express her love towards her boyfriend. 48. what kind of life wisdom did robin get from lyras story?a. life is short. dont waste your time hesitating.b. we each have our destiny. dont let anyone ruin it.c. dont hate those who let you down. be grateful to them. d. life should be going on even if there is no prince charming. bwhat a little love means to a little onefor too many, the damage begins early in life. four out of 10 infants（婴儿） born in the united states do not form a strong bond（关系）with either parent, and they will pay for that the rest of their lives.new research from princeton university confirms what other researchers have already found: the number of babies born into families that are too poorly equipped to give them a fair chance of having a successful life is extremely big.that finding is supported by many other research projects, including a study from the university of rochester showing that nearly one-third of u.s. parents dont know what to expect from their newborns, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. babies, as others have pointed out, dont come with an owners manual.the basic problem, according to the princeton study, is 40 percent of infants in the u.s. live in fear or distrust of their parents, and that will turn into aggressiveness（侵犯）, defiance（挑衅）and hyperactivity（多动） as they grow into adults.of that number, 25 percent dont bond with their parents because the parents arent responding to their needs. and a tragic 15 percent find their parents so troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible.that will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence, but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.“they can overcome it,” sociologist sophie moullin of princeton, lead author of that study, said in a telephone interview. “its not a make or break situation, but they might find it harder to control their behavior.”moullin, along with coauthors from columbia university and the university of bristol in england, analyzed more than 100 research projects, to reach their conclusions.many factors contribute to the problem, including poverty（贫穷）, ignorance（无知）, and stress among parents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can handle.yet strong bonds, the researchers say, are amazingly simple to achieve.49. according to the writing style of the passage, it may be a(n) _.a. news report b. argument c. essay d. debate50. which of the following is not true?a. about 40% of the newborns do not form a strong bond with either parent. b. some parents are too busy with their own problems to handle a new child. c. parents failing to respond to their babies need may lead to future problems.d. infants who fail to bond with their parents are sure to have an unsuccessful life.51. what is the meaning of the underlined word “manual”?a. an expert who tells you how to take care of a baby. b. a book that tells you how to do or operate something.c. a tv show that tells you how to bond with your baby. d. a radio program explaining how to look after your baby. 52. what may be discussed in the following paragraph?a. findings of other similar project concerning this topic.b. examples of the consequences of lacking strong bonds.c. simple ways of achieving strong bonds with an infant.d. reasons for failing in building up strong bonds with a child. cipad air first impression: whats in a name?“the next generation ipad: thinner, lighter, more powerful than ever before, and its new in so many ways that it deserves a new name,” apples phil schiller said onstage this morning as he displayed the companys latest tablet.of course, the new name still has the word ipad in it - its called the ipad air. but what is apples point? the air isnt just like the old ipads.and thats certainly true in a few respects （方面）. the tablet has a whole new design, with rounder and shinier edges. i actually said out loud, “wow, that is really light” when i first picked it up. its unexpectedly light. because the screen looks the same as the former models, and the rest of the tablet also looks similar when it is sitting on a table, you dont expect it to weigh just one pound when you pick it up.as soon as you lift it, though, you also realize the 0.29-inch thick tablet is much more comfortable to hold. its even possible to hold in one hand, but because of the width and length of the screen, it can still be awkward. most people will still prefer to hold it with two hands, or place it in their lap. the air also has the new speedy 64-bit a7 processor（处理器）and new wireless technology, yet promises the same 10 hours of battery life and a lot more in stand-by time.but in another respect, the air is still very much like the older ipads. the tablet runs ios 7, which was updated for the ipad 2 and up last month. the improved safari web experience and control center all improve the big-screen experience, and new ilife and iwork apps make the tablet much more than just a consumption device （消费品）. yet at its core, the way the ipad air works is not different from the former versions of ipads, and some software features（特征，特色） included on new tablets are starting to have apples feature set.whats more, the ipad will continue to provide more and better apps in its app store, which is where windows 8 and even android cant match.so, no, the ipad air isnt a totally new ipad, but that might not matter. its the apps combined with beautiful hardware engineering that will allow the ipad to lead the tablet market, new name or not. 53. why did apples phil schiller say that the new ipad deserves a new name?a. because it has been improved in many respects.b. because it has the new speedy 64-bit a7 processor.c. because it is much thinner and lighter with a new design.d. because its battery promises a lot more in stand-by time.54. which of the following is right? a. the air works quite differently from the older ipads. b. the tablet runs a totally different iso system. c. the air is nothing but a consumption device.d. the ipad air isnt a totally new ipad.55. what can we infer from the passage?a. the ipad air will continue to lead the tablet market. b. the ipad air will sell better than any other former ipads. c. people will throw away their older ipad and buy an ipad air. d. apple will fail to provide more and better apps in its apple store. 第卷 非选择题（共三部分，计35分）第四部分 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请根据句意、首字母或所给中文提示完成下列句子。56. the old man has formed the habit of watching the weather f_ of the cctv-1 at 7:30 every evening.57. the central government set up a working team to h_ the related matters of the missing malaysia airlines flight 370.58. in recent years, china has made great c_ to the exploration of outer space.59. the peoples republic of china was f_ on octo
