Victor Hugo(维克多.雨果), born in 1802 in France, was one of the best writers in the19th century. The talent in writing and hard work brought great success to Hugo at an early age.

Hemingway lived in France and Italy between the 1920s and 1950s. Most of his books such as The Sun Also Rises were written at that time.

Are you “Weibo Addicts” ? You may spend too much time on Webo if you are a “Weibo Addict”.Do you write a Weibo ? If you don’t , you are “ out ”!
Weibo means microblog . People may spend much time writing a blog , but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why ? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words .
Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million. People write microblogs for many reasons . For many microblog users , it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information , including news, everyday life, pictures, music, videos and so on .
It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog . However, this can also bring some problems . For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海啸) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can help people fight radiation (辐射)” were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor (谣言).
In a word , microblog plays a new part in the life of Chinese people.
58. What does Weibo Addicts in the first paragraph mean?
A. People who are crazy about Weibo. B. People who seldom use Weibo.
C. People who first made Weibo. D. People who need Weibo least.
59. What is NOT an advantage (优势) of Weibo?
A. It is short but carries many meanings. B. It can help us learn the latest news.
C. It can send rumors. D. It is easy to use.
60. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Writing a microblog needs much time.
B. Microblog appeared in China only one year ago but it is so popular now.
C. As a popular thing, microblog has its advantages and problems.
D. More and more Chinese show great interest in microblog because it started in the USA.

Are you a gourmand(吃货)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcast by CCTV. Can you find any holiday celebrated without a special festival food? Food is very important in China. Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures. Chinese believe that eggs mean producing something new. For example, after a baby is born, parents may hold a " feast party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, the number(1,3,5…) for a girl, and (2,4,6…) for a boy.
Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles(蜡烛) in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut them off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, fish head pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the future.
Another very popular food during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty food is made of rice with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
62. A bite of China is _______.
A. a history B. a TV program C. a guide book D. a radio talk
63. The underlined phrase means_____ .
A. give presents B.get presents C. ask for D. stand for
64. In this part the documentary tells us about Chinese food ______ in the history.
A. cooking B. eating C. making D. meaning
65 . How many kinds of traditional food are mentioned in the passage?
A.two B.three C.four D.five

1～5 BACAB 6～10 BABBA 11～15 ABBAA 16～20 ACABC
Ⅱ.21.C taste“尝起来”；smell“闻起来”；sound“听起来”；feel“摸起来；觉得”。本句中代词it指代上句中提到的Gangnam Style这首歌，歌曲与听觉相关，故用连系动词sound。句意：“你知道Gangnam Style这首歌吗?”“当然知道。它听起来很有趣。”
22.C 答语句意为“我通过和美国朋友聊天来练习英语”。这表示的是学习英语的方式，故用by；“和……一起”用介词with，chat with sb.意为“和某人聊天”。
23.B decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”，为固定搭配，故选B。
24.A 由句意知，“他成为一名老师，给学生少布置作业”是一种假设的情况，故if意为“如果”，引导的是条件状语从句；主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，且he是第三人称单数，故用becomes。
25.C mind doing sth.意为“介意做某事”，故选C。
26.A 动词不定式作tell的宾语补足语，tell sb.(not) to do sth.意为“告诉某人(不)做某事”，故选A。句意：我总是告诉我的学生不要在公路上玩，因为那样很危险。
27.C turn off“关闭”；put on“穿上”；get off“下车”；set up“搭起”。句意为“直到车停下你才能下车”，故get off符合句意。
28.C 本题考查交际用语。根据She is a doctor there.“她是那里的一名医生”可知该处为“不用担心”，故选C。
29.C enjoy oneself是固定搭配，意为“玩得开心，过得愉快”。
30.A 本题考查代词用法。by oneself意为“靠某人自己”，learn...by oneself意为“自学”。
31.D none(三者或三者以上中)没有一个；neither两者都不；all三者或三者以上都；both两者都。根据后文“They are useful for English learners.(他们对英语学习者有用处。)”可推知：这两者都喜欢，故选D。
32.B 本题考查动词词义。understand理解，明白；imagine想象，设想；consider考虑到；expect期盼。根据前句“因特网与我们的'日常生活联系如此密切”可知，本句句意为“你能想象没有它的生活吗?”。故imagine符合句意。
33.A 本题考查动词短语辨析。give out分发，散发；cut out切掉；put out熄灭；find out查明，弄清。由本句句意“许多志愿者在日本海啸之后给当地人分发食物和水”可知，give out符合句意。
34.D used to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“过去常常做某事”；be used to doing sth.也是固定搭配，意为“习惯于做某事”。故选D。答语句意：她很好。她过去常常晚饭后在家看电视。但现在她习惯于外出散步。
35.D 本题考查情景交际。Could I...表示委婉地请求允许。根据答语中Don’t you see the sign“Line up, please”?(你难道没看到“请排队”的标牌吗?)可知此处为拒绝对方请求。
Ⅲ.36.D 由下文“Because their parents do almost everything for them at home.”可知，在家里他们的父母几乎为他们做所有的事情，他们不知道如何做家务。故选D。
37.C on business意为“出差”，是固定搭配。

52.C 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第三段莫莉谈到萨莉时说I know that Sally’s going to be a very nice manager...(我知道萨莉将会成为非常棒的经理……)和她接下来的话She’s only been here a couple of days and she’s already shown me how to work out a few problems we were having.(她来这里只有几天的时间，她已经向我展示了如何解决我们遇到的一些问题)知选C“她已有能力解决一些问题”。
53.B 我们可用“细节理解法”解答本题。由第二段可知莫莉对公司作出调整，不是不想再经营公司，而是想抽出时间多照顾些家庭，所以A项所述错误；由第三段中莫莉对萨莉的评价可知她对萨莉是很满意的，故B项所述正确；由第一段可知莫莉觉得孩子对保姆的了解比对她的了解还多，但没有对保姆不满的意思，所以C项所述错误；由第一、二段可知莫莉在事业上很成功，但在家庭方面，她正在努力进行平衡，故D项所述错误。
54.C 我们可用“逻辑推理法”解答本题。通读全文可知，莫莉为了平衡事业与家庭的关系对公司进行了调整，以便自己可以有更多的时间陪孩子、照顾家庭。故选C。

Many young people can use the computer, but few of them know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use the computer.
Keep your computer in a cool, dry room. Too much or too little heat is bad for computers. Damp is also bad for them. Most computers work best at a temperature of 5-30 degrees centigrade.
Do not let people smoke cigarettes near your computer. Smoke of all kinds is very bad for many parts of a computer and can cause many problems.
Do not eat or drink when you are near your computer. Pieces of food and a little water in the keyboard can also cause many problems.
Make sure that the keyboard and the screen are the correct height for you. If they are not correct, you‘ll get backache.

Which road should he take?He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear. It told him to go to the right,and he did so. He ran on and soon came to a small hotel. He was received there kindly and given a room,and he was saved from the two men. That was the dream.
Twenty years later he was really in the Black Forest and , as happened in the dream long ago, two men ran out and tried to throw him down.

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags)
“It hurts my back when I run,”said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to go up the stairs with my backpack,because it’s too heavy,”
Oberlin was among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.
They had regular backpacks with two straps(带子)to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can roll on the ground).
Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms,said she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain.
How much is too much?Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.
A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load:less homework.
P.S.( 附)Doctor’s suggestion:
1 Lighten the load. Clean out binders(活页材料)and take home only the books you need that night.
2 Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly(均匀)。 And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder.
3. Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.
4.Bend both knees when you pich up the pack ,and don’t just bend over at the waist.(腰)
6、“_________”is the main idea of the text.
A The problem of backpacks is worth studying.
B The problem made by heavy backpacks
C What is the best backpack for a student.
D How to make students’backpacks light.
7.According to Oberlin Reyes and Shirley Park, we know________.
A students have to do too much homework
B students have to carry several backpacks
C backpacks without wheels are bad for students
D too much homework leaves students no free time
8 The expression “switched to” in the text perhaps means________.
A started to use B turned to C caught up D used for
9 According to the passage ,it’s better for a student of 40 kilograms to carry a backpack of _____at most by the words of experts.
A 10kg B 8kg C 6kg D 7kg
10 If students follow the doctor’s suggestions they ________.
A may lighten their backpacks
B can learn how to help themselves
C may feel their backpacks are lighter
D will know how to wear backpacks
C
Now satellites(卫星)are helping to forecast(预报)the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成)。They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists(气象专家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures,the meteor- ologists compare(比较)them with earlier ones. Peerhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change,too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon,perhaps , they may be ablet to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)
11 Satellites travel__________.
A in space B in the atmosphere
C above the ground D above space
12 Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because___________.
A the weather satellites can do it easily
B clouds form there
C the weather forms there
D the pictures can forecast the weather
13 Meteorologists forecast the weather________.
A when they have received satellite pictures
B after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C before they receive satellite pictures
D while they study satellite pictures
14 Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _______.
A one day B two days C five days D seven days or even longer
15 The main idea of this passage is that satellite are now used in______.
A taking pictures of the atmosphere
B receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C doing other work in many ways
D weather forecasting

I think it is really a bad thing to let others know my exam scores.
If I get a low score, some people may laugh at me and it will make me sad. If I get a high score, I will be happy, but it may make others unhappy. They may think I am not smarter than them and maybe they will even think my score isn’t true. Then I will have fewer friends than before and it will also make me sad.
Just keep my exam score a secret, and I will be happier.

Do you know how important it is to have breakfast? A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.
According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more calories (卡路里) in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they burn(燃烧) more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.
The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks (零食) later in the day. This is goo d news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chip s, are usually unhealthy and full of calories.
Another big advantage of eating breakfast is that it helps teenagers do better at school. This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.
Whats more, a study in the UK showed that adults (成年人) who eat breakfast daily put on less weight and also perform better at work.
Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.
( ) 38. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that _________.
A. teenagers should eat something for breakfast
B. breakfast helps teenagers do better at school
C. breakfast must be healthy with lots of calories
D. the energy makes teenagers active the whole day
( ) 39. Having breakfast daily makes the teenagers _________.
A. burn less calories B. put on more weight C. relax themselves D. eat fewer snacks
( ) 40. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the importance of snacks B. how the adults perform at work
C. the advantages of having breakfast D. losing weight without breakfast
( ) 41. We can probably read this passage in a (an) _________.
A. story book B. health magazine C. movie poster D. instruction book
D
The universe is a big place. It is hard to believe that humans would be the only intelligent life. So scientists have been searching outer space for years, hoping to find signs of alien(外星人) life.
They use radio telescopes to search the sky for signals (信号) from other civilizations (文明). It is called SETI. SETI has been working for over half a century, but so far they haven’t heard any alien messages.
Scientists suggested aliens might not want to contact(联系) us but could reply(回复) to a message we send. So scientists sent radio signals into the universe, hoping one day they would be picked up by alien technology. These scientists call themselves METI.
Both METI and SETI want to prove that we are not alone in the universe. But what if the “alien phone” rings one day? Should we reply to it?
British scientist Stephen Hawking thinks we should not answer because aliens could be dangerous. Hawking said that aliens could visit our solar system in search of resources (资源). “If aliens ever visit us, I think the result would be much like when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the American Indians”.
But other scientists think we have no need to worry. David Morrison, a NASA scientist, said that if an alien radio signal reaches us from a distant planet hundreds or thousands of light-years away, then that civilization would have to be more advanced than ours.
( ) 42. What does “they” refer(指) to in the third paragraph?
A. Scientists. B. Aliens. C. Radio signals. D. Americans.
( ) 43. Why did Stephen Hawking think that aliens would be dangerous?
A. Because he thought aliens would rule the solar system.
B. Because he thought aliens would come to search for resources.
C. Because he thought humans would kill all the aliens on the earth.
D. Because he thought aliens would harm American Indians.
( ) 44. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Scientists haven’t received any alien messages so far.
B. Aliens have replied to the message from the earth.
C. All the scientists think that we should not send signals into the universe.
D. Scientists are sure that humans are not alone in the universe.
( ) 45. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Humans and Aliens B. What are SETI and METI?
C. Looking for Life in Space D. The Only Life in the Universe

I’m a student from a village. When I was young, I could not see the world. My parents were poor and did not have enough money to send me to hospital. So I could not go to school, I was very shy. One day ,the ORBIS doctors came, they performed an operation on me at once. The operation was successful. I am able to see everything clearly and can go to school now. I like chatting with friends.I am very grateful to them. I think ORBIS is a wonderful organization. We should support their work by sending donations to ORBIS.
