But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, Id gone too far to turn back.Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway.“Ill stay for lunch, but I m heading back down as soon as the fog lifts,” I announced when I arrived.“But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car,” Carolyn said, “Could we at least do that?”“How far is it?” I asked.“About three minutes,” she said, “Ill driveIm used to it.”After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. “I thought you said three minutes.”She grinned. “This is a detour(绕行的路).”Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us. Gradually, the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.Then we turned a comer and stoppedand I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across the mountain side and valleys, were rivers of flowers in numerous colors. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside.A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”The first answer was: “One WomanTwo Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen. I could scarcely speak. “She changed the world.” I finally said, “one bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if Id had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?”Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”24What can be inferred about the daughter?AShe told a white lie to her mother.BShe was an experienced driver.CShe didnt know the way very well.DShe knew everything about the woman.25The mother began to enjoy herself when _.Athey were driving in the carBthey were at the garageCthey were on their way backDthey were walking in the woods26Which of the following can best describe the owner of the property?ACrazy and silly.

Despite the claims of some supplements that they could improve cognitive skills, no clear evidence was found to back this up.The report said, For the handful that have been researched, several well-designed studies of supplements for brain health found no benefit in people with normal nutrient levels. Its unclear whether people who lack nutrition can benefit their brains by taking a supplement. The pills failed to protect against dementia （痴呆）and did not slow the process or improve the symptoms of the disease and the report said that a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables, being physically active and getting sufficient sleep were linked to better brain function. ”The value of the food supplement market in Britain is expected to reach more than 1 billion by 2012 and supplements sold on the high street for brain performance cost up to 26 for 60 pills. And Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK said that people were better off spending money to improve diets.The report did find evidence suggesting that supplements could benefit people diagnosed with lacking vitamin. It added that these should only be taken if advised by a doctor because some supplements could interact with medicines or contain high levels of nutrients, which could be deadly. Supplements were not strictly controlled in the way that medicines were and may not contain high-quality ingredients or what was on the label, the report said.The Health Food Manufacturers Association, which represents the British supplement industry, said that the report was based on the American market. In Britain products could only make claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority, such as the zinc（锌）contributed to normal cognitive functions, a spokesman said.28. What is the finding of the scientists about the supplements?A. They bring about no positive effect. B. They break the balance of normal life.C.They get people to get addicted to them. D. They are hardly suitable for the younger.29. The author uses the third paragraph to show people should_. A. be aware of their needs clearly B. change their daily diets regularlyC. take control of the market strictly D. make use of their money properly30. What should people do if they do need to take supplements?A. Follow professional suggestions.B. Be sure of the vitamins they lack.C. Refer to the instructions of the labels.D. Avoid taking together with other medicines.31. What do the British authorities think of the report?A. Annoying. B. Worrying. C. Unacceptable D. Favorable.DThe purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people. According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent.In order to arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to “book” him. “Booking means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station.The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away - for example, because he owns a house and has a family - he can go free. Otherwise, the suspect must put up bail (保释金). At this time, too, the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he can t afford one.The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney s office presents a case against the suspect. This is called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial, he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead (申辩)guilty or not guilty.At the trial, a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony(证词) of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent, he goes free. However, if he is convicted(宣判有罪的), the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time, the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be. The judge may sentence him to prison, order him to pay a fine, or place him on probation (缓刑).The American justice system is very complex and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the basis, or foundation, of the American government.32What is the main idea of the passage?AThe American court system requires that a suspect prove that he or she is innocent.BThe US court system is designed to protect the rights of the people.CUnder the American court system, judge decides if a suspect is innocent or guilty.DThe US court system is designed to help the police present a case against the suspect.33According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 3 means _.Athe suspect is free to choose a lawyer to defend himBthe suspect does not have to go to trial because the judge has decided he is innocentCthe suspect will be informed by mail whether he is innocent or notDthe suspect does not have to wait in jail or pay money until he goes to trial34What is the purpose of having the suspect pay bail?ATo pay for the judge and the trial. BTo pay for a court lawyer to defend the suspect.CTo ensure that the suspect will return to court. DTo ensure that the suspect will appear in prison.35According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?AThe American justice system sometimes operates slowlyBThe police can arrest a suspect without giving any reasons.CIt is the responsibility of the suspect to prove he is innocent.DThe jury considers the evidence in the court room.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10 分） 根据内容, 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。 Babies have the charm to melt anybodys heart instantly; no one escapes the twinkling eyes or the innocent smile. Just their presence will cheer you up, make you forget your worries and tempt you to indulge into their world. 36_. Though I dont have any answer to the question, I wonder as to what makes their aura so desirable. And I think there is something we can learn from the young ones.Forgive and ForgetBabies can laugh and giggle all day because they dont keep hatred against anyone.37_. Do you think theyve constructed an evil plan against you because you refused them candy last time? Probably not, life moved on and so did they. So why do we hold on to our past and refuse to let go of the emotional baggage? Does it do us any good except prevent us from laughing to the fullest?38. _Endless questions of young kids can sometimes be enough to drain the adult mind. They are always busy wondering how things work or why things are the way they are, leaving no room for boredom. Their curiosity gives them an exponential learning curve; they pick up new things quickly and do not refuse to change.Unconditional Love39._. They dont judge you before they come running into your knees and they dont walk away if you dont give them the same in return. They have no expectations from you and simply do what their heart desires. If you want a hug, theyll give you a hug; if you want two, theyll give you two. So how does the adult world become so materialistic that we decide what we give based on what we think we might receive?Living life to the fullest is not a difficult task; you just need to have the right attitude and an open mind. 40._.AKeep smile every dayBNever-ending CuriosityCWhat can we do to free from these worries?DWhy do we adore the young ones so much?E. So dont envy the peaceful life of a baby, start living it yourself!F. Kids have a hug and a kiss for anyone and everyone who wants one.G. Their heart is pure and their mind empty to laugh out loud and enjoy the moment.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Peggy Lewis lost her house in a brutal tornado, but the tornado couldnt take the one thing that meant the most.One 41 , Peggy Lewis and her husband, Harris Lee, were 42 the trees blow in the wind outside their home in Eureka, Kansas.
