After all the couple had been dating since they met in a caf three months earlier.But little can he have imagined that 70 years on, not only would he still be happy about having married Doris, but that every year she would present him with the very same card he gave her that Valentines Day. “I bring it out of the cupboard and put it on our mantelpiece（壁炉台）every Valentines Day,” she said. “Its a special to me now as it was 70 years ago. Harry has never bought me one since, because I have this one every year.”They first met in a caf. “Harry was in the caf drinking and he said hello. He asked me my name and we got talking happily. He offered to walk me to the bus stop but when we got outside, a bombing raid（突然袭击）had started and we had to run to a nearby air-raid shelter（防空洞）,” Doris said.Mr. Ward said,“I knew Doris was the one for me the moment I met her. I gave her the Valentines card then and she is still my Valentine now.” Mrs. Wards card is not the only thing that has endured the passing of time.“Harry is quite romantic and we are as still in love as the day he first gave me this card,”Dorris said.56.

By saying “Mrs. Wards card is not the only thing that has endured the passing of time.”, the author means_.A. The card records their romanceB. The card will still be used in futureC. They both treasure the very cardD. Their affections are still strong【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【小题4】D【解析】BMany of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact(接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?Its all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry.Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey （调查）by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.62. What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet peoples needs.D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space wont be violated.C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space. CIts good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. Its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You cant”. Look around you. With very few exceptions (例外), either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didnt work. Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. But this all doesnt mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(结果) of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so dont blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and allocate(分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.There is an old saying that goes, “If youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper(成功).64. The underlined word “eliminate” means _. A. avoid B. remove C. accept D. solve65. According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _. A. avoiding making the same mistakes B. accepting the punishment willingly C. taking consequences into consideration D. trying things out one by one66. The article is mainly about _. A. how to deal with mistakes B. what benefits mistakes bring C. how to achieve success D. how to make use of your mistakes67. What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake? A. Never mind, I can always try again. B. Id better stay out of trouble. C. Now I can learn something new. D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset. DAs any parent with an iPhone or an iPod Touch knows, mobile apps (手机软件) can be an engaging and entertaining experience for kids. Now, a new study of PBS Kids suggests that the experience can be an educational one as well.The study, which was administered by PBS under a grant from the Department of Education, first tested the vocabulary level of a group of 90 Title 1 school children, aged 3 to 7. Then, the children were each given two weeks with an iPod Touch loaded with the Martha Speaks Dog Party app created by PBS Kids.The study monitored how the children used the iPod, during what hours, and in what context. On average, the study found that kids played with the iPod Touch for a total of 5 hours across the two weeks, with half that time spent playing the Martha Speaks app. At the end of the two week trial, the children were given another vocabulary test, which revealed an increase in vocabulary acquisition by as much as 31 per cent.The study findings are particularly useful as smart phones and mobile devices have become increasingly popular among families and parents are faced with a proliferation of mobile apps designed for kids. According to a recent Nielsen study, smart phone usage is 12% higher in households with children than other households.“Mobile apps can be a great learning tool in the hands of children,” said Lesli Rotenberg, SVP, Childrens Media, PBS. “This research is important in helping to better understand and guide the development of new apps that improve the value of childrens screen time with significant educational outcomes.”So what does it all mean? Well, at the very least it will help parents get over that guilty feeling when they hand over their iPhone or iPod Touch for a little peace and quiet. At best, it provides more evidence that mobile devices and apps do indeed have educational value and could be an important part of the child-learning process for many years to come. 68.What Lesli Rotenberg said in the fifth paragraph suggests that .A. he has a positive attitude towards mobile appsB. he thinks children should never use smart phonesC. he is doubtful about mobile apps designed for childrenD. he thinks parents should be careful with mobile apps for children【小题1】A【小题2】A【小题3】C【解析】第卷 (三部分 共45分)第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。To make our digestive (消化的) system work well, we should avoid doing some things after having a meal, for example, drinking water.
