No man knows what awaits him when he opens a door. 37 the most familiar room, where the clock ticks and the health glows red at dusk may harbor 38 . The worker may actually have called and 39 the leaking pipe. The cook may have been ill and demanded her passports. There are many kinds of doors. Revolving doors for hotels, shops and public buildings. They are 40 the busy, bustling ways of modern life. Can you 41 William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens skipping through a 42 door? There are double doors, sliding doors, stage doors and glass doors. The 43 and mystery of a door lies in its quality of being hidden. A glass door is not a door at all, but a window. The meaning of a door is to 44 what lies inside; to keep the heart in suspense.Also, there are many ways of opening doors. There is the cheery 45 of elbow with which the waiter opens the kitchen door. There is the sympathetic and awful 46 of the dentists maid who opens the door into the operating room and, without speaking, 47 that the doctor is ready for you.The opening of doors has in it some flavor of the 48 , some sense of moving into a new moment. Even in 49 , the opening of a door may bring relief. But the closing of doors could be 50 , A door closed brings 51 to an end. And there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors. A door slammed is a confession of weakness. A door 52 shut may often be the most tragic gesture in life.The opening and closing of doors is a part of the serious fluency of life. Life will not stay 53 and let us alone. We are 54 opening doors with hope, closing them with despair. Life 55 not much longer than a pipe of tobacco, and destiny knocks us out like the ashes.16.

It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year. Study findings revealed a 65% increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2012. The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 1991 and 2012. The most common types of rock climbing related injuries were fractures(骨折) and sprains （扭伤）。The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40%). Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74, with an average age of 26. The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries. Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall. The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower. “We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury,” explained the study author Lara McKenzie, PhD, director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital. “This trend, combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalizaton rate than other sports and recreational injuries, demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers.”36.Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber ? A. The arm B. The knee C. The ankle D. The hand 37 .How many women climbers in American got injured while climbing a rock between 1991 and 2012 ？A.About 40,000 B.About 30,000 C.About 20,000 D.About 10,00038. The severity of climbers fall-related injures is mainly related to _.A. the height of the fall. B. the climbers age.C. the climbers health condition D. the climbers climbing experience.39. The underlined word “demonstrates” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _.A. denies B. proves C. prevents D. describesBMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary time, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward othersstare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right? Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive(冒犯的). But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert(转移) his gaze, his intentions are obvious: he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her. However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener, he will, to a certain extent, look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive. If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate（控制）you, you will feel upset. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary. In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to(局限于) lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express. Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.40. When the writer says eyes can speak, he really means that .A. eyes can really speak sometimesB. eyes can express meaning sometimesC. eyes can understand meaningD. eyes take part in some conversations41. According to the text, a teacher should look at students in class in order to .A. find something wrong with the studentsB. show that he or she is very attentiveC. make sure that students pay attention D. show the sign of honest communication42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. People often stare at others on buses.B. People dont like being looked at.C. Men always enjoy looking at women.D. Eye contact can attract attention.43. According to the fourth paragraph, we can learn that _.A. looking too long at someone is always politeB. eye contact sometimes expresses your admiration to the opposite sexC. eyes can help you get someone you loveD. looking at someone is sometimes necessary第四部分: 任务性阅读Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass them by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money. A few use aggressive behavior to earn money.To solve the problem of aggressive begging, an “alternative giving ”plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes.Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars alcohol and drug problems. But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality to feed their addictions. The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Governments must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.Begging problemIntroduction to the begging problemSome beggars ask 3_for moneySome beggars just sit and wait to be givenmoneyAn “alternative plan” to the problemIn some busy places, such as the market and railway station, ten blue boxes will be placed to 4_people to give money to local homeless causes.Different 1_towards the suggested planSupporters of this plan think it very 5_to solve the problem related to beggars.The police oppose the plan arguing the beggars may turn to criminality because of 6_of cash.The homeless charity said that it remains to be seen whether this plan would be 7._.Most of the beggars dislike the plan because the money that they will get from the box will not be 8._.2._to the problemGovernments must be actively 9_in solving this problem be training beggars to work and helping them to find proper jobs.Beggars shouldnt be 10_ as dirty and dangerous people but as people needing help and understanding.第五部分: 书面表达(1)在班级活动中，当你的想法与大多数同学不一致时，你是坚持自己的观点并说服别人，还是尊重大多数同学的意见？请你以“When I Have a Different Opinion”为题，用英文写一篇100120个词的短文。要求如下：1.从以上两种做法中选择一种；2.以具体事例阐述你选择的理由。书面表达(2)阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。High school students in Victoria, Australia have been offered Education Department advice ahead of their written exams.

The importance of sleep, staying connected with family and friends, and planned study times are emphasized. Students will also learn “positive self-talk”. “The positive way that you talk to yourself can be used for greater confidence and reducing stress, and can be a very effective way to prepare yourself for a big test or exam,” students are told. The tips encourage young people to speak up if they are having difficulty, and remember that life will go on beyond exams.
