home after studying overseas, largely because of the difficulty in finding a suitable partner, the yangcheng evening news reported on sunday. of those who return, nearly 60 percent are women. blind dates have become increasingly popular among overseas returnees, and job fairs this spring season plan to organize match-making events with dating agencies to help returnees, the report said. the number of students coming home to work has risen sharply in recent years due to the unprecedented opportunities and favorable development environment in china, said qi mo, director of the overseas returnee department at the ministry of education service center. furthermore, the report shows that for chinese overseas students abroad, britain, america, australia, korea, japan, france, and germany are the top destinations. more and more chinese students are choosing the u.s. for doctorate degrees in engineering and medical science, which require highly technical knowledge; meanwhile other overseas students prefer to go to britain for masters degrees in economics and management, it was added. in addition, 49.34 percent of overseas returnees choose to work in first-tier cities, namely beijing, shanghai, guangzhou, and shenzhen, a decrease of eight percent compared with the previous year. as job markets tighten in eastern cities such as beijing, shanghai and guangzhou, recent graduates have already begun looking towards second and third tier cities for employment, where comparatively low salaries are offset by a lower cost of living. overseas returnees entering the job market this year are distressed by low salaries, where the salaries of graduates with doctorate degrees average around 5,000 yuan ($767) to 10,000 yuan a month; and nearly 50 percent of students with masters degrees earns less than 5,000 yuan, according to the report.21.what is the main reason why women students choose to return home after studying overseas according to the passage ? a. they miss their parents very much. b. the unprecedented opportunities in china c. it is relatively difficult to find a marriage partner in a foreign country. d. they cant find a good job in a foreign country.22. we can learn from the passage that a. if a chinese student wants to get a masters degree in economics, he would probably choose to study in america. b. a low cost of living can make up for the low salaries in the second tier cities. c. most students with masters degrees can earn up to5,000 yuan a month. d. studying abroad gives you no advantage in finding a job in china.23.where can we most probably read the passage?a. in a magazine b.in a tv program c.in a newspaper d.in a textbookb greg kloehn , an artist in oakland ,california is using his skills to help the homeless. he builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. the structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes. greg kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. several are on the roadside near an active railroad. on a recent day, mr. kloehn stops at one to visit oscar young. the two men hug. inside his little shelter mr. young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. mr. kloehn also visits sweet-pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. she says it keeps her safe and protects her possessions. in the mornings, mr. kloehn searches the streets for building materials. he gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. there, he puts the houses together. empty coffee bags become roof material. a washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. the artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. the device is powered by the sun. some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. but some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man. mr. kloehn says his work is not a social project. he says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless

challenging age. not only did i have to adapt to my changing body, i also had to deal with my parents bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town. when we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. i was heartbroken and terribly lonely. i couldnt eat or sleep and cried all the time. finally, realizing how much i missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, cowboy.cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. but i didnt care. i loved him beyond all reasons. i joined a riding club. when cowboy and i entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. i knew nothing could turn cowboy into a beauty. my only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. i chose the jumping race.for the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then i would walk cowboy home, totally exhausted.all of our hard work didnt make me feel confident by the time the show came. one girl named becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. she always won the blue ribbons. i sat at the gate and sweated all out while i watched becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.my turn finally came. at the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and i turned him toward the finish line.no cheers filled the air. the end of our run was met with surprised silence. cowboy and i had beaten becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.i gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. at thirteen, i realized that no matter what the odds, id always come out a winner if i wanted something badly enough to work for it. i can be the owner of my fate.28. why did the author like cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?a. because she loved horses more than anything else.b. because cowboy was

she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbonsd. she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough31. it can be inferred from the story that _.a. all of their hard training was totally in vainb. a blue ribbon must be the second highest prizec. cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearanced. both becky and the author won in the jumping eventdperhaps, most parents have tried to give their children a head start on education with get smart videos and enrichment activities as early as infancy (婴儿期), but free play is often sacrificed, so the american academy of pediatrics says that the best medicine for busy children is an increase in traditional “playtime”.studies suggest that unstructured play can help children become creative, discover their own interests, develop problem solving abilities, and relate to others socially, according to a report prepared by two academy committees for release monday at the groups annual meeting. on the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. the report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.the reports think the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super smart children and safe places for children to play is decreasing. a balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“in the current environment, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, i believe this message is an important one,” said dr. kenneth ginsburg, the reports lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at the childrens hospital of philadelphia.noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable tvs “what every baby knows,” dr. t. betty brazeltion agreed. children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it. that to me is a very important part of childhood.32from the passage we can see that todays children really need more . aenrichment activitiesbconventional playtimecstructured activitiesdeducational activities33according

have ever been in a school play or even made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someoneor somethingelse. 36 in the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. as far back as 2200 b.c. trained chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. 37 to the dance was gradually added pantomimethe imitation of movements and gesturesas well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants（圣歌）, and finally the use of dialogue.while acting was coming into its own in the ancient chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in greece. from about 500 b.c. on, acting became a highly specialized art in greece. greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. 38 modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor a great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. the names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. 39 a special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. in radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. they are unseen by their audience. so they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.40 only forty percent of broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. they must not be easily discouraged. otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom(明星身份) presents itself.a. the origins of acting are in the act of remembering.b. drama in greece began with festivals honoring dionysus.c. it is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.d. historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself. e. acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.f. broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.g. consequently, they had little opportunity to demonstrate their individual personalities. 第二卷 (共80分)第三部分：英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45）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，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项填黑。 most young people enjoy
