In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped sufferingpermanentdamage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didnt get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left therehe is the only person who has had this honor.21. What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?A. Tasting chemicals.B. Staying in the empty lab.C. Experimenting in darkness.D. Working together with others.22. What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?A. He was buried in the Tanami desert.B. Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.C. One comet of Jupiter was named after him.D. A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.23. The text is mainly about three great scientists _.A. special honors B. great achievementsC. famous experiments D. sufferings in the jobB Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, youve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.32. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _.A. the young are better at handling important thingsB. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60sC. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brainD. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging33. The continuing research has found older people perform better on _.A. perceptual speedB. number ability C. vocabulary testsD. body balance34. People are happier with aging because _.A. they learn to value the time left B. they know how to share feelingsC. they cannot focus on negative aspects D. they do not realize the possible dangers35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get happier with age.B. People get wiser with age.C. People get more forgetful with age.D. People get more self-aware with ageCSpring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身) and nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.28. Which of the following is the newspaper editors opinion according to Paragraph 2?APeoples appearances carry messages about themselves.BCustomers choices influence dress standards in companies.CCandidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.DStrange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.29. What can be inferred from the text?ACandidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.BWhat to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.CCompanies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.DHiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?AEmployees MatterBPersonal Choices MatterCAppearances MatterDHiring Managers Matter31. The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _.AenthusiasticBnegativeCpositiveDsympatheticD Chinese media and Internet users on Monday decried（谴责）a lack of morals in society after a child was struck twice by two different trucks and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white truck on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girls mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girls parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy(冷漠) of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once considered as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored（崇拜） by the public.But in recent years, the perception（观念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting societys values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans (模范人物)to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（责任）, yet laws themselves cannot solve societys morality dilemma.Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.32. According to the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?A. He/she would be awarded by the government B. He/she would have to worry about liability.C. He/she would be condemned by the public.D.The public would feel proud of him/ her and thus showed love and respect for him/ her33. Which of the following is TRUE about this passage?A. Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans.B. The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time.C. High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China.D. Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera.34. In recent years, societys values is believed to be affected by .A. peoples perceptions B. profit and materialism C. the apathy of bystanders D. the morals of society35. Where is the article most probably taken from?A. A news report. B. An education column. C. A science fiction. D.A fashion magazine. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Some people lie all the time. However, it can be difficult to determine when they are lying to you36 Make false eye contact A person who is lying to you wont make eye contact with you or they make too much eye contact. If a person is lying he may feel you are watching him and he will look down at the floor or away from your eyes. Some people try to stare at you in the face in a deliberate way 37 Avoid using contractions （缩略语） The liars will say I did NOT notice your money, instead of I didnt notice your money. This is an attempt by the liars to be absolutely clear what they mean. 38 39 Liars often feel uneasy, turn away from the person to whom they are speaking, blink rapidly， smile less and have pitch changes in their tone of voice They may cross their arms which is a sign of being closed or trying not to reveal too much information They could touch parts of their face, an ear or a nose or play with keys or another item that they have in their hand Provide additional information without being asked for it 40 . The result is the more complicated the story is, the less believable it will be. You will have the feeling that nothing could be further from the truth A. Usually, it ends up making the story a lot less believable B. Luckily there are always some indications that can help you recognize liars CUse unusual body language DBehave abruptly ELiars seem to think that by telling their story in detail, you will find it more believable FLiars try to talk the story with their own words using imagination G. In this way, they feel like making eye contact will make what they are saying more believable第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Several years ago, I quit my job to chase my dream of writing a book, but that book was _41_ repeatedly.
