Li Zhen reports on shoppers reactions in Shanghai.An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3,000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia. Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32,000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged. Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far.”However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment. But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack.Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “I cant believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really dont know where to buy my goods from in the future.Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “I feel like giving up supermarkets. But I really dont know where to do my food shopping. I cant make these things myself.” said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper.36. The colored buns were sold in some large supermarkets EXCEPT _. A.

Where can you most probably read the passage?A. In a fashion magazine. B. In a newspaper. C. In a guideline book. D. In an official document.B US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado.This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars, said Boulders research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters.The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲).Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us, said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago. The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.41. The size of the lake found on Mars is _.A. 80 square miles B. 1,500 square miles C. 3.4 billion square miles D. 300 million square miles42. When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was _. A. hot and wet B. wet and warm C. cold and dryD. cold and wet43. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life. B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there. C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars. D. Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.44. How many researchers does the passage mention?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.45. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.B. The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.C. The discovery cant fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.CYou wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama startsThe person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward toYou are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible! Communicating with negative people can wash out your happinessIt may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long timeLife brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offerThey only feel glad when they make others feel badNo wonder they can hardly win others pity or respectWhen you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attractedWhen the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you downSometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative peopleThis could be a co-worker，or a relativeIn this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about thatNegativity often affects happiness without even being realizedThe negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happinessLife is too short to feel negativeStay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible46. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _.A. make a comparison B. offer an evidenceC. introduce a topic D. describe a daily scene47. How can negative people have effect on us?A.

What is the authors attitude towards negative people?A. FavorableB. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.DI once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life. As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him. During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安养院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didnt complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often cant learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.51. Which word can best describe the mans initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?A. Satisfied. B. Surprised. C. Terrified. D. Confused.52. What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?A. He was operated on immediately.B. He retired from his job.C. He researched cancer treatments.D. He felt sad, doing nothing.53. What was the mans main source of comfort after several months with the disease? A. His family and friends. B. His belief in humanity. C. His doctors encouragement. D. The care from others.54. What did the author learn from his friends story? A. Giving more respect to friends.B. Extending life as possible.C. Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury. D. Getting comfort from God.55. What does the author mainly want to tell?A. All people will face death, and thus, we must prepare for it spiritually.B. Our characters can be strengthened by such an unpleasant situation.C. Families provide the best support system during such a crisis. D. People should help those who have got serious illness. 第四部分 书面表达据报道，山东省拟从2012年起取消高中阶段的文理分科。请结合图片内容，写一篇120150词短文，谈谈你的看法。参考词汇：文科: liberal art 理科: science 答案解析第一节 单项填空1.【解析】选A。考查冠词的用法。which happened in March, 2011是定语从句修饰前面的earthquake，故earthquake是特指，故用the；disaster“灾难”，是一个可数名词，所以应该用a。 2.【解析】选B。综合考查定语从句。句意为：我是在买新外套的商店里遇见我的女朋友的。本句为一个强调句，从句中I bought my new coat中缺少地点状语，用where来引导。 3.【解析】选A。考查动词辨析。manage 表示勉强做某事，manage a smile强作欢笑。wear穿，戴；perform表演；执行；control控制。4. 【解析】选B。考查虚拟语气。根据句中but for (要不是)得知条件，要不是交通繁忙，警察就不能抓住企图逃跑的贼了。couldnt have done 本不能做却做到了。5.【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。根据题意可知，上下句之间是因果关系，而we与know her address是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。6.【解析】选B。考查动词短语。come up with 提出，想出；come up to 达到；stick to 坚持；deal with 处理，对付。根据句意：聪明的学生总会找到解决问题的好办法。故B项符合题意。7.【解析】选D。考查情态动词。should 指应该；may 指可以；must表示必须；could表示可能。8.【解析】选C。考查名词性从句。这是一个由it作形式主语的主语从句。分析从句可知从句不缺少成分，而且根据句意“物价上涨是否能够得到控制还不是很清楚”可以得知选C项whether。9.【解析】选C。考查连词及状语从句。根据前一句“我不介意你怎么做”及后句“你按时完成这幅画”可知后一句是前一句的条件状语从句，故C项as long as（只要），符合题意。as well as和，也；as far as有之远；as fast as 和一样快。 10.【解析】选B。考查动词时态。since“自从以来”，主句用现在完成时，since引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时。11.【解析】选C。考查形容词的用法。本句用形容词来说明the two brothers的状态，而不是他们动作的状态，所以应该用形容词来作状语。 12.【解析】选D。考查名词用法。strength 力量；energy能量；wisdom智慧；patience耐性。联系a doctor 的语境可知，patience最佳。 13.【解析】选D。考查固定短语。本题句意为“吉姆在纽约的时候住的离学校很近。难怪他上课很少迟到”。no doubt毫不怀疑；no problem没问题；no sense没道理；no wonder难怪。 14.【解析】选C。考查主谓一致。rather than 连接两个主语时，谓语动词在人称和数上和前面的词保持一致。本句中前一个主语boss是单数，故C项符合题意。 15.【解析】选A。考查交际英语。根据句意“我买个钱包作为妈妈的生日礼物你觉得怎样”，可知答案为A“那再好不过了”。第二节 完形填空16.【解析】选B。根据后一句fruit trees，cornfields等信息可以得知为farmers。 17. 【解析】选C。with指“带有”。a backyard with pigs and chickens是指带有猪和鸡的后院。18. 【解析】选B。根据语境like stars in the
