The spring

11、and fall clock changes continue a long tradition started by Benjamin Franklin to conserve energy.Benjamin Franklin lakes the honor (or the blame, depending on your view of the lime changes) for coming up with the idea to reset clocks in the summer months as a way to conserve energy. By moving clocks

12、 forward, people could take advantage of the extra evening daylight rather than wasting energy on lighting. At the time, Franklin was ambassador to Paris and so wrote a letter to the Journal of Paris in 1784, rejoicing over his “discovery” that the sun provides light as soon as it rises.Even so, DST

13、 (Daylight Saving Time) didnt officially begin until more than a century later. Germany established DST in May 1916 as a way to conserve fuel during World War I. The rest of Europe came onboard shortly thereafter. And in 1918, the United States adopted DST.Though President Woodrow Wilson wanted to k

14、eep daylight saving time after WWI ended, the country was mostly rural at the time and farmers objected, partly because it would mean they lost an hour of morning light. And so daylight saving time was abolished until at the start of WWII, on Feb. 9, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt re-established

15、 daylight saving time year- round, calling it “War Time.”After the war, a free-for-all system in which U.S. states and towns were given the choice of whether or not to observe DST led to disorder. And in 1966, to avoid such “Wild West” confusion, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. That federal la

16、w meant that any state observing DST and they didnt have to jump on the DST system had to follow a uniform timing system throughout the state in which daylight saving time would begin on the first Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October.Then, in 2007, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 went

17、 into effect, expanding the length of daylight saving lime to the present timing.1、What is the passage mainly about?AWhat is Daylight Saving Time?BHow did Daylight Saving Time start?CWho proposed Daylight Saving Time?DWhy Daylight Saving Time is adopted?2、It can be inferred that .ADST was adopted in

18、 the US mainly to preserve fuelBDST lasted for 24 years in the US before being canceledCit is still free for the states in the US to adopt the DST or notDfarmers in the US rejected DST for losing an hour of evening light3、What is the meaning of the underlined expression “rejoicing over” in paragraph

19、 2?ATaking pride in.BTaking interest in.CFeeling regret for.DFeeling surprised about.4、Which country adopted DST earliest, according to the passage?AFrance.BGermany.CEngland.DThe United States.22（8分） In spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winters end. So

20、 its no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the

21、 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our

22、 age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“Theres something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern charac

23、ters. “Ive broken eggs at every stage of the process from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But theres an appeal in that vulnerability. “Theres part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing youre walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart a

24、t any second.” Chasts designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 BC, was later abs

25、orbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.1、What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?AThey

26、 are shaped like jewel cases.BThey are heavily painted in red.CThey are favored as a form of art.DThey are valued by the rich.2、Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg painting?ABecause eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.BBecause eggs provide a source of protein in w

27、inters end.CBecause eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.DBecause eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.3、Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5?ADelicateness.BTechnique.CFear.DAnxiety.4、What is the main idea of the text?AEgg painting art preserves t

28、raditional and popular symbols.BDifferent cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.CUkrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.DEgg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.23（8分）It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas

29、 and at all levels. This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, competition leads to a pragmatic（实用的）attitude. People choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Todays college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism（功利主义）.Many college students

30、 choose Business, Law or Computer Programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where big money is. It is not unusual to see college students taking a part-time job as a warm-up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificat

31、es and taking the driving tests to get a license. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more severe, students do have reasons to be practical.However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagi

32、ne, if utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus, leaving no space for the cultivation（培养）of students minds, or development of their soul, we will see university is training well-trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism controls society, we will see people lost in the money-makin

33、g adventures, humanity losing its grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. Id like to think society as encouraging and people regard profit or fame only as a horse that pulls the courage. Yet without the driver picking direction, the courage would go straight and may even end up in a dangero

34、us situation.A certificate may give you some advantages, but not broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrity（诚实正直）, which are the wealth you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In todays world, the highest level of competition may not be that of skills or expertise（专门技能）, but o

35、f vision and strategy, and your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.1、The authors attitude toward todays college education is .Apositive BcautiousCcritical Ddoubtful2、Many college students choose to major in Business because .Aa businessman is very likely to mak

36、e big moneyBstudying business is less competitiveCtoo many students have chosen Computer ProgrammingDComputer Programming is not a must for them3、The author does strongly suggest that .Amore competition be encouraged on campusBpeople should not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitudes

38、d provide students with more business coursesDcollege education should value the cultivation of students minds24（8分） Youve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, vocal music teachers, career counselors，psychiatrists (精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with

39、daily life.But theres a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost are turning to them for help.The idea that one persons

40、 success story can change other peoples lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegies famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People ” came along soon thereafter.But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. T

41、hey use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions.They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, wor

42、ks with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for ones career and life outside work.Lakhanis Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful in

43、cluding battered women and struggling single mothers.But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick (华而不实的) promoters who mess with peoples lives

44、 can do more harm than good.1、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AWorking Yourself HappyBLife Coaches Help with Tough DecisionsCHow to Cope with Daily Life with Life CoachesDThe Life-Coaching Movement2、The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means “ ”.Athe career coun

For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fou

47、ntain, and drink its water, you will not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears that the answer may be called the hypothalamus, which is part of your brain. It controls important body activities,

48、including growth, the way we process food and so on.Researchers at New Yorks Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural stem cells (干细胞) also influence how fast aging takes place.Dongsheng Cai, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, was the leading researcher

49、 in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings.“Aging speed can be controlled by a particular place in the body, which is the hypothalamus. And it can be controlled by a particular type of cells, which are hypothalamus stem cells.” He adds that when the hypothalamus starts agi

50、ng, so does the body. So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate the hypothalamus in laboratory

51、 mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells.The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. “When we injected the hypothalamus stem cells to the middle-aged mice, the mice aged slowly and they can also live longer.”But these results were just fr

52、om studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in human beings.“If we can translate what we have seen in animals to humans, I think humans can function better during later ages.

53、” Cai and his team say their studies may have other benefits. They say the findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of age-related health issues.1、Why does the author mention the “fountain of youth” in the first paragraph?ATo explain what the “fountain of youth”

54、is.BTo introduce the hypothalamus.CTo show how to find the “fountain of youth”.DTo help people find the “fountain of youth”.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe brain. BThe aging process.CHypothalamus. DThe stem cell3、What do we know about the study done by Cai?AThey hav

55、e found a way to turn back the aging process.BThe brain controls growth, reproduction and the way we process food.CThe decrease of hypothalamus stem cells can lead to aging.DThe finding has been applied to human beings.4、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AThe Fountain of Yo

Everyone has a strong 1

57、, and talks at the same time, and no one has a 2 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. 3 a family like mine has made me more 4 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that

58、 Im not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, Im not 5 to the nodding-your-head-and- 6 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 7 with the person youre speaking with, when his story becomes so 8 that your world becomes less about you

59、and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 9 called Noah, which works 10 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 11 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, Id tell you one thing: I listened, and I lis

60、tened. Sometimes I 12 , but mostly listened.And had I not spent two months 13 , I might have missed the 14 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noahs community centers, orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long 15 , “I love you.” 16 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit dow
