My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, Im very happy because you love each other, and because one day youll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mothers death. The time came for me to go to university. I didnt want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligentto help other people.”After the professors talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things. I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one days holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AVictor did not want to leave his family because his mother died not long before.BElizabeth married shortly after Victors mother died.CElizabeth was a brave girl who loved Victor and gave him much help.DVictors mother was very angry when she knew he loved Elizabeth.25.Victor did all the following during his research in the university EXCEPT that.Ahe discovered many things and built a scientific machineBhe learnt much about death both in the hospitals and in the universityChe built a tall mast to catch lightning and send the electricity down to the labDhe worked hard and took only one days holiday during the next two years26.According to the author, the secret of life is to.Ause electricity to cure diseasesBbuild the best machine to learn about deathCbecome the greatest scientist of tomorrowDgive life to things that were dead by using electricity27.Which is the correct order about the life of Victor? Victors mother passed away. Victor got help from the professor and other scientists. Victor went to university and attended the professors talk. Victor found the answer to giving life to things that were dead. Victor experienced a storm, seeing the lightning destroying the tree.ABCDCAfter achieving huge success in the past two seasons, Letters Alive returns with more surprises. The show is performed first on Chinas major video platform, , and then is aired on Heilongjiang Satellite TV on Saturdays. Letterspenned by celebrities（名人）ages ago, or modern ordinary people, are chosen and then read by todays stars, striking a chord（引起共鸣）with audiences by presenting human stories.According to Guan Zhengwen, the shows chief director, the letters offer a view into universal values. “There is only one standard in our selection. That is, these letters deserve to be seen by more people,” the director said.“Different cultural backgrounds do exist in the world, but human nature can bridge different cultures. Peoples understanding of themselves, others and society can be understood through writing, and thats the power of letters,” the director said. “Chinese letters are still the mainstay of the program, but the addition of classic letters from abroad is certain to bring more tastes to it,” he added.As a rule, the 12-episode（一集）culture program has invited many well-known Chinese celebrities. In comparison with the former two seasons, more young artists are taking part this time. “Our programs viewers under the age of 29 account for more than 75 percent of the total. However, the popularity of celebrities among the young generation is not our selection preference,” Guan said.Also it is worth noting that the program has added a comment time. Each time a letter is read, a famous commentator sits in the studio and shares his feelings toward the letter and tells viewers the stories behind letters. “The commentators views do not stand for the truth, as there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes,” the director said. “But they, based on their vision and experience, will express positive social energy to viewers.”28. What does the underlined word “aired” probably mean in the first paragragh? A. Advertised. B. Broadcast. C. Sold. D. Made.29. Why are some classic letters from abroad chosen by the show? A. To make the show more colorful. B. To attract more young audiences. C. To bring more fashion to the program. D. To cover the shortage of Chinese letters.30. What is new about the program? A. Foreign artists will be invited for the first time. B. More stars favored by the young will be chosen. C. There will be an explanation after the reading is finished. D. Viewers will have a chance to read their own letters in the show.31. Where can we read this text? A. In an advertisement. B. In a history textbook. C. In a fashion magazine. D. In a news report.DResearchers have studied how birth order affects kids personalities in the past, but one study out of the United Kingdom has found that firstborns may have an educational advantage over their younger siblings (兄弟姐妹).Researchers at the University of Essexs Institute for Social and Economic Research surveyed 3,553 individuals and 1,503 groups of siblings, and discovered that firstborn children tended to have higher educational aspirations and attainment. Only children and firstborn twins were not included in the study.For each family involved in the study, researcher Feifei Bu examined sibling birth order, the number of children in the family, age spacing, sex, health, relationships with one another and educational aspirations. She found that firstborns had a greater probability16 percent higherof attending further education, compared with later-born sibling.“The advantage of firstborns in educational outcomes may be partially explained by the fact that firstborns tend to have higher aspirations which push them toward high education levels,” Bu wrote in the published study.She further explained to The Guardian that parenting could play a role. “It could be that the parents simply devote more time and energy to them; it could be that they are actually more intelligent. For me, I tend to lean towards the theory that the amount of time, energy and involvement that parents put into caring for their children is possibly at work here,” she said.She also found age spacing to be a contributing factor. The further apart in age the siblingsfor example, a six year instead of one year differencethe more likely both kids were to be successful. The idea is that with widely spaced siblings, parents have the ability to spread out their resources. In other words, they have time to give each child more time and money.But younger siblings shouldnt worry. The world is full of successful middle and youngest children willing to prove this study wrong.32. Who are more likely to complete higher levels of education according to Paragraphs 1 and 2?A. Only children.B. Firstborn twins.C. Younger siblings. D. Firstborn siblings.33. What is possibly important for kids educational achievement according to Bu?A. Parental investment. B. Parents intelligence.C. Kids native intelligence. D. Kids school environment.34. What is the influence of wider age spacing between two siblings?A. It may cause conflicts between them.B. It may place more pressure on parents.C. Both of them are more likely to succeed.D. They are likely to be different from each other.35. How is the text mainly developed?A. By listing examples. B. By giving descriptions.C. By setting down general rules. D. By presenting research findings.第二节：七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。When youre a teenager, of course, you want to stress the difference between your age group and the older generation, and changing the language you use is a great way to do this.One way in which teens change their language is to introduce new vocabulary or change the meaning of existing words. _36_. Bad suddenly meant good and sick took on the meaning of very cool. These uses dont last for long, though. They change again very quickly._37_. One example of a teen-led change is the fashionable use among some young people of innit (a shortened form of isnt it) as a substitute for all question tags. Although some people are concerned that this trend towards “text-speak” is harming the language, Professor David Crystal doesnt agree. According to him, the fact that teens use “text-speak”, shortened words and even emoticons does not mean the end of the language. Texting is just a new type of English that has evolved as a result of Internet technology. _38_.Although teenagers are often criticised for ignoring linguistic rules and ruining the language, we should bear in mind that languages are not fixed. _39_. New vocabulary develops as speakers need new words to match the new things in their lives, Grammar also changes over time, which explains why many present-day speakers find Shakespeares sixteenth-century plays difficult to read. _40_, but realizing that language change is normal and unavoidable and that teens are important to this process might help the older generations to sleep better at night.A. Young people also make changes to grammarB. It hasnt had any influence on the rest of the languageC Adults may not like the way teens speak to each otherD. They all change naturally over time for a lot of reasonsE. Young people tend to adapt themselves to new languageF. We continue to need to create many new words and phrases these daysG. Some recent examples of teen-speak show how big these changes in meaning can be第三部分、语言知识运用（共两节,满分30分）第一节、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分,满分15分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、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。Everyone back home told me that one of the nicest things about college is the people you meet.
