Dropping, covering your head (and your body by being under a strong table if possible), and holding onto furniture (even if it is moving) offers the best overall level of protection in most situations. In cases 33 an earthquake is less violent, you might be able to move to a 34 advantageous position (e.g. away from breaking windows, etc.). As you drop to the floor, cover your head, and hold on to a solid object.Studies of injuries and deaths 35 by earthquakes indicate that you are much more likely to be injured by falling or 36 objects (TVs, lamps, glass, bookcases, etc.) than to die in a collapsed building. If there is no nearby space beneath a table or other furniture that can provide protection from these objects, then you should get next to a large piece of furniture such as a sofa, cover your head, and hold on to the furniture when it moves. 37 there is no furniture, get next to an inside wall if possible. If you are in bed, the best thing to do is to stay where you are and cover your head with a pillow.If a building 38 collapse, rescue teams will search through the ruins for victims, using tools, search dogs, and electronic instruments that can detect the presence of live people. Survivors are usually found in spaces large enough for a human within the ruins, called “ 39 Void（空的）Space”. It can be as large as an adult, or in the case of small children or infants, a very small space. The main goal of “drop, cover, and hold on” is to protect you from falling or flying objects, and to 40 the chance of survival if the building actually collapses.31. A. with B. without C. in D. having32. A. because B. so C. therefore D. probably33. A. where B. which C. that D. when34. A. fewer B. more C. most D. less35.

It began in 1970 as a small 41 (important) race. Only 127 people ran, and just 55 of them finished. They ran around Central Park four times.

Or if they do say it, but you dont feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be never risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable (易受攻击的) as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal, says psychologist Sidney Crown. But love is seldom equal. All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. That feeling of I ve always loved you more may be subverted (颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often appear in quarrelling. In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings, says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist（性心理学家） Paula Hall agrees. The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative （主动）. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be the one who says I m bored with you first. Hall believes that much depends on how I love you is said and the motivation of the person saying it. Is it said when they re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please don t be unfaithful to me ? By saying I love you, they are really saying Do you love me? If so, wouldnt it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. Its not what is said, but how it s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”51. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The importance of I love you.B. The meaning of I love you.C. The time of saying I love you.D. The place of saying I love you.52. By saying the first sentence the author means that _.A. it is easy to say I love youB. it is hard to say I love youC. we have many troubles in our lifeD. people usually do not know when to say I love you53.

What is the most important for you to consider when somebody says I love you to you?A. The intention.B. The place.C. The time.D. The determination.BIn ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctors degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles(类似) a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.56. In the Middle Ages students_.A. took objective tests B. specialized in one subjectC. were timed by electric clocks D. never wrote exams57. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that_.A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written examsD. examinations are now written and timed58. The kind of exams where students must select answers is_.A. personal B. spoken C. objective D. written59. Modern industry must have developed_.A. before the Middle Ages B. around the 19th centuryC. in Greece or Rome D. machines to take tests60. It may be concluded that testing_.A. should test only opinions B. should always be writtenC. has changed since the Middle Ages D. is given only in factoriesC“Without the fog, London wouldnt be a beautiful city,” the French painter Claude Monet wrote to his wife, Alice, during one of his long visits to England from France. Few Londoners would have agreed with his statement at the time, when the city was choked by the smog of the Industrial Revolution, but no one argues with the beauty of the colourful skies he began painting there between 1899 and 1901. Pollution has never looked quite as attractive as when seen through Monets eyes.Now there is evidence that Monets beautiful and mysterious images of London were not only Impressionist creations, but a result of highly accurate observation. According to a paper published by two environmental scientists in August, the paintings (nearly 100 of which still exist) may “ provide useful information in the analysis of the London fogs and air quality during this period.”- a period before pollution levels were routinely recorded.In their study, Jacob Baker and John E. Thomas of the University of Birmingham analyzed the position of the sun in 9 of the 19 paintings in Monets “ House of Parliament” series. There was “ a perfect correlation,” Thomas says, between the solar positions in the images, the actual solar positions from astronomical records and the dates on which Monet said, in letters to Alice, that he began the works. Baker and Thomas say they hope to find more information. “ We believe”, Thomas says, “that we can basically work out how much smoke would have to be in the air to create that visibility and those colours in, say, February 1900 through the images.”Some art historians doubt the London paintings hold this much documentary evidence, pointing out that Monet continued to work on many of the images after he returned to his studio in Giverny, France. They also argue that theres no question that Monet was astonishingly realistic to what lay in front of him, but at the same time, for example, he had a penchant for pinks. He always was trying to put pinks into pictures throughout his career.Thomas admits that “its still just a hypothesis (假设)” but maintains that “were fairly optimistic that well get something out of it.”61The best title for this passage might be_.A. The popularity of Claude Monets paintingsB. Claude Monet, the Great Impressionist PainterC. Foggy LondonD. Paintings May Uncover the Secret of Air Quality62. The underline word “penchant” in the forth paragraph may mean_.A. unnatural hatred B. strong liking C. deep understanding D. wide use63. We may infer from the passage that _.A. modern people have known what caused the fog in London through early record.B. most painters were attracted and inspired by the fog of LondonC. many citizens were once proud of their mysterious and beautiful foggy airD. London used to suffer a lot from the Industrial Revolution64. About Claude Monets paintings, which of the following statements is true?A. They are not so popular and attractive today because too many still exit.B. They are full of the painters imagination rather than realistic drawings.C. Many of the pictures are coloured pink.D. They have recorded the solar positions through their images by the painter routinely and scientifically.65. According to the passage, the study of the two environmentalists Jacob Baker and John E. Thomas has_.A. been questioned by some art historiansB. found the answer to what contributed to the foggy air in LondonC. yielded enough and persuasive evidence to carry out more researchD. attracted great attention from many scientists第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about their listening habits. For questions 1 to 5, match one of the speakers to one of the following statements (A to F) given below.66. Mary TaylorMy father looked at me disapprovingly when I talked to him about ideas that he didnt agree with. He would often interrupt me in the middle of a sentence to tell me I was wrong. As a result of the childhood experience, I had difficulty concentrating when anyone in authority talked to me. I would concentrate on how I was coming across to the other person, not on what the person was saying.67. Chris MoreMy father used to frown when concentrating on something. I thought he was angry or upset with me until I later found out that he was only thinking about what he was doing. I certainly experienced some anxiety until I found this out. When I started conducting seminars, I discovered that I frowned a lot while concentrating on what the talker was saying, and the attenders thought I was being critical of them.68. Janet SmithI constantly tuned others out while they were talking and I couldnt seem to break this habit. It upset me because I was having trouble at work listening to directions and paying attention during meetings. As it happened, my mother had been a nonstop talker who ignored my needs. To keep my own sanity, I had learned to shut her out of my consciousness. I became so good at tuning her out that I generalized this behaviourtuning other people out as well.69. Lylian MasonI often feel victim in my interactions with my boss. I think he is the persecutor and Im the victim. For example, one late Thursday afternoon, my boss gave me a twenty-page project with graphs and numerical tables to type and finish by Monday at 10 a.m. I didnt listen to the time he stated when he handed me the project. Instead, I was busy figuring out how I was going to get it done and finish the other work I had on my desk.70. Jack CandisonWhen I am with a group of people who are interested in the subject I am covering and are receptive to me, they are open to more material and ideas. The more important the subject to them the more listening involvement they get into. In other words, the more relevant (有关的) my material is to their personal or professional goals, the more they listen to what I have to say and the less they tune me out.请匹配相关信息：Its hard for me to change my bad habit of not listening to others.The heavy workload worried me so much.I gave people the impression that Im being picky.My boss listens to me carefully.My father used to ignore me.People are likely to listen more attentively while the subject is of interest to them. 写作(共三节，满分45分)第一节 单词填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）71.
