Vocabulary
Section A
I was standing in
the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be
in __21__ 60s. When it
was her turn to pay,
the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how
she was doing.
The woman looked down,
___22___（shake）her head and said:“Not so good.”My
husband just
lost his job and my son is up to
his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know
how I’m going to
get through the holidays.”
Then she gave the cashier food stamps.
My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know
how.（23）______I offer to pay for her
groceries
or ask for her husband’s resume?
As I
walked into the parking lot, I saw the women
___（24）（return）her shopping cart. I
remembered
something in my purse（25）________I thought could
help her. It wasn’t a handful of
cash or an
offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would
make her life better.
My heart pounded as I
approached the woman.
“Excuse me,”I said, my
voice trembling a bit.“I couldn’t help overhearing
what you said to
the cashier. It sounds like
you’re going through a really hard time right now.
I’m so sorry. I’d
like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card’s only two
words, she began to cry. And through her tears,
she said：“You have no idea（26）_______ this
means to me.”
I was a little startled by
her reply.（27）________（not do）anything like this
before, I didn’t know

what kind of reaction I might receive. All
left for me (28)_______（say）was：“Oh. Would it be
OK
to give you a hug?”
（29）________we
embraced, I walked back to my car --and began to
cry, too.
The words on the card?
“You
Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave
me a similar card（30）____ encouragement for a
project
I was working on. When I read the
card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me.
Deeply touched, I
came home and ordered my own
box of You Matter card and started sharing them.

definition
Most of us learn at primary
school that there are seven continents, but the
next generation of
kids may be adding one more
to that list.
According to a recent paper
published in the Geological Society of American
Journal by a
group of researchers,“Zealandia”
is a new continent that’s ___31___ beneath the
ocean.
Zealandia is ___32___ to be five
million sq km. Most of this massive area is
covered by water,
but its highest mountains
already have their own name：New Zealand.
The small country is the only part of Zealandia
that isn’t underwater, but the paper’s authors
want the huge landmass to be ___33___
worldwide as its own continent.
“The
scientific value of classifying Zealandia as a
continent is much more than just an extra

实用标准文档
name on a list,”the
researchers wrote in their paper.
Scientists
discovered Zealandia all the way back in 1995,
then started ___34___ research on
the area
using underwater and satellite mapping ___35___.
After completing their work, they were
finally
able to write a report suggesting that Zealandia
be named a continent.
But who decides on what
is a continent and what isn’t? There is, in fact,
no official
organization that does. Some
countries’ schools teach that there are six or
even five continents.
This changes depending
on where in the world school is.
Due to their
__36__ as a “continuous expanse of land”,some
classify Europe and Asia as the
same continent
-- known as Eurasia. Schools in Russia and parts
of Eastern Europe teach this.
And to make
things even more confusing, France and Greece, as
well as other countries,
classify North
America and South America as simply America.
This argument over how land is defined has
even ___37___ into outer space. In 2006, the
International Astronomical Union（IAU）decided
that Pluto was no longer a planet, 76 years after
its ___38___ in 1930. Experts argued that it
no longer met the requirements needed to be called
a
planet alongside the eight others in our
solar system. It was therefore renamed a “dwarf
planet
（矮行星）”，meaning that ___39___ books,
models and museum exhibits all over the world had
to
be ___40___.
But will the world take
the same notice of Zealandia? The best way to tell
is to keep an eye
on our textbooks.
Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Good news for awkward teenagers around the world.
As time goes by, you could ___41___ up
文案大全
实用标准文档
like a completely different
person.
This comes from the longest
running personality study ever ___42__ by
scientist. According to
researchers from the
University of Edinburgh in the UK, our personality
changes so much from
youth to old age that
most people’s personalities in older age are
barely ___43___ compared to
their younger
selves.
The researchers analyzed results
from a study in 1947, which gathered 1,208
teenagers in
Scotland aged 14 and asked their
teachers to ___44___ their personalities based on
six
traits
（特
征） .
Now, more than
six decades later, the University of Edinburgh
team has managed to contact
635 of the
___45___ students, and 174 agreed to have their
personalities tested once more.
At an
average age of 76.7 years old, the group were
asked to ___46___ themselves on the same
six
personality traits, then pick a close friend or
family member to do the same.
By ___47___
the then-and-now test results, the researchers
found that there is hardly any
relationship
between traits people had as teenagers and those
in their older years.
It was “as if the
second tests had been given to ___48___
people,”the study’s researchers
wrote in their
report, which was published in journal Psychology
and Aging.
The results were a surprise
because research in the past found personality
___49___ in people
tested from childhood to
middle-age, and from middle-age to older age.
As the team explained, our personality appears
stable over short intervals -- ___50___ so
throughout adulthood. ___51___, the longer the
interval between two tests of personality, the
___52___ the relationship between the two
tends to be.
It’s clear that more studies
are needed to find out what’s going on here. But
it could be the
first ___53___ that it’s not
just our cells that are being ___54___ throughout
life – the way we

Section B
（A）
One way people are
responding to food safety concerns is by growing
their own food.
However, not everyone lives on
property with enough space for a private plot. One
solution is
community gardens, which have
become popular worldwide, numbering 18,000 in
North
America alone. In addition to providing
low-cost, delicious food, these public spaces
offer cities a
文案大全
实用标准文档
range of other benefits.
Community
gardens are located in a town or city and tended
by local residents. Often, the
land is on a
vacant lot owned by the city. The site is divided
into manageable plots, which may be
tended by
individuals or by the garden’s members
collectively. Since the land is usually publicly
owned, the cost for gardeners to lease it is
minimal. In fact, New York City, which is home to
more
than 750 community gardens tended by more
than 20,000 members, charges people just $$1 a
year to lease a plot. Other costs involve
soil, tools, seeds, fencing , and so on. However,
because
they’re shared by many people,
individual gardeners pay very little.
A
community garden can quickly pay off, in terms of
delicious fruits and vegetables, in
addition
to beautiful flowers. Excess produce can be sold
for a profit at farmers markets. But a
garden’s benefit don’t stop there. They also
beautify cities, foster strong relationships among
residents, and lower an area’s crime rate.
Award-winning spaces like London’s Culpeper
Community Garden even attract tourists.
Beautiful and affordable, community gardens are
often
described as oases in crowded cities.
56. Community gardens are designed for
those who ___.
A. are concerned about food
safety
B. live in a house with a private
plot
C. can’t afford to buy organic food
D. don’t have their own property
57.
New York City _____.
A. is owned by 20,000
individual gardeners
B. charges residents a
lot to lease tools and fencing
文案大全

C. contains more than 750
community gardens
D. is tended by
professional gardeners and local residents
58.
What’s the benefit of community gardens?
A.
People can enjoy safe and delicious vegetables and
animal meat.
B. Residents are more familiar
and related with each other.
C. The
neighborhood is becoming safer but of lower taste.
D. People can make some profits from the
visiting tourists.
59. The
underlined word“oases”is closest in meaning to
____.
A. cultural and art centers
B. popular platforms for exchanges
C.
peaceful and safe lands

A busy brain can mean a
hungry body. We often seek food after focused
mental activity, like
preparing for an exam.
Researchers think that heavy bouts of thinking
drain energy from the
brain, whose capacity to
store fuel is very limited.
So the brain,
sensing that it may soon require more
calories（卡路里）to keep going, apparently
stimulates bodily hunger, and even though
there has been little in the way of physical
movement
bodily hunger, and even though there
has been little in the way of physical movement or
calorie
consumption, we eat. This process may
partly account for the weight gain so commonly
seen in
college students.
Scientists at
the University of Alabama at Birmingham and
another institution recently
experimented with
exercise to counter such immoderately post - -
study food consumption.
Gary Hunter, an
exercise physiologist at U.A.B., oversaw the
study. Hunter notes that tough
activity both
increases the amount of blood sugar and
lactate（乳酸盐）—
circulating in the
blood and
increases blood flow to the head. Because the
brain uses sugar and
lactate as fuel,
researchers wondered if the increased flow of
fuel-rich blood during
exercise could feed an
exhausted brain and reduce the urge to overeat.
Thirty - - eight healthy college students
were invited to U.A.B.’s exercise lab to
report what their favorite pizza was. At a
later date, the volunteers returned and
spent
20 minutes dealing with selections from college
and graduate - - school
entrance exams. Next,
half the students sat quietly for 15 minutes,
before being
given pizza. The rest of the
volunteers spent those 15 minutes doing intervals
on a
treadmill: two minutes of hard running
followed by about one minute of walking,
repeated five times. Hunter says, that should
stimulate the release of sugar and
lactate
into the bloodstream. These students were then
allowed to gorge on pizza,
文案大全
实用标准文档
too. But by and large, they
did not overeat. In fact, the non-exercisers,
however,
consumed about 100 calories more.
The study has limitations, of course. We
only looked at lunch. Hunter says；the
researchers do not know if the runners
consumed extra calories at dinner. They also
cannot tell whether other types of exercise
would have the same effect as running,
although Hunter says they suspect that if an
activity causes someone to break into a
sweat,
it should also increase blood sugar and lactate,
feeding the brain and
weakening hunger’s call.
63. According to the passage, ______ may
cause many college students to overeat
and
gain weight.
A. a lot of energy-consuming
mental activities
B. numerous physical
movements or calorie burning
C. failure to
resist the temptation of delicious food
D.
bodily hunger caused by physical growth
64. The underlined word“counter”is closest in
meaning to _____.
A. stimulate B.
maximize C. balance D. prevent
65. What can
be inferred from the passage?
A. Running
is more beneficial than walking.
B. Sweating
in exercise can make people hungrier.
C. The
amount of blood sugar and lactate can affect
people’s appetite.
D. When the brain feels
exhausted, people tend to do exercise for
relaxation.

Self-talk helps
us all
Talking to yourself may seem a
little shameful . If you’ve ever been overheard
criticizing
yourself for a foolish mistake or
practicing a speech , you’ll know the social
problems it can
cause.________67__________
But there’s no need for embarrassment .
Talking to ourselves , whether out loud or
silently in our
heads, is valuable . Far from
being a sign of insanity , self-talk allows us to
plan what we are going
to do , manage our
activities and control our emotions.
For
example , take a trip to any preschool and watch a
small girl playing with her toys . You
are
very likely to hear her talking to herself :
offering herself directions and talking about her
problems. ________________68_______________We
do a lot of it when we are young.
As children
,according to the Russian Psychologist Lev
Vygotsky , we use private speech to
control
our actions in the same way that we use public
speech to control the behavior of others.
As
we grow older , we keep this system inside.
Psychological experiments have shown that this
so-called inner speech can improve our
performance in tasks like telling what other
people are thinking . Our words give us an
interesting view of our actions . One recent
study suggested that self-talk is most effective
when
we talk to ourselves in the second person
: as “you” rather than
“I”
_____________69___________________If you
want proof , turn to a sports channel . You’re
sure to see
an athlete shouting at himself or
herself .
Talking to ourselves seems to be a
very good way of solving problems and working
through
ideas. Hearing different points of
view means our thoughts can end up in different
place , just
文案大全
实用标准文档
like a
regular dialogue , and might turn out to be one of
the keys to human creativity.
Both kinds of
self-talk -----silent and out loud ----seem to
bring many different benefits to our
thinking

Summary
Writing
Directions Read the following
passage . Summarize in more than 60 words the main
idea of the
passage and how it is illustrated
. Use your own words as far as possible.
For thousands of years , people have sailed
across the oceans to trade , explore and transport
goods . However , not every ship arrives at
its port of destination . Weather ,war ,
navigation
mistakes and bad luck have caused
many ships to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
These
shipwrecks , which are estimated to
number more than three million , have long
fascinated us . In
addition to being
historically important , they sometimes contain
great riches.
Historical research is a key
motivator for shipwreck hunters . Ships carrying
documents and
artifact can teach us about
ancient civilizations and important events . For
instance , in 1997 the
Pandora , which sank in
791, was discovered off the coast of Australia .
The findings from the ship
helped us
understand the events surrounding the famous
mutiny (暴动) on another ship ----- the
Bounty .
Another important discovery off the US coast in
1996 is widely believed to be the Queen
Ann’s
Revenge , the flagship of the private Blackbeard.
Profit is another motive for shipwreck
exploration ,as companies use advanced sonar ,
robots and
retrieval equipment to find
treasure ships . One such firm is Odyssey Marine
Exploration . The
company has found hundreds
of ships , including , in 2007 , a Spanish sailing
ship containing
文案大全
实用标准文档
500,000 silver coins. The ship , which sank
200 years ago in the Atlantic Ocean , carried a
treasure
estimated to be worth $$500 million .
Soon after the discovery , a long legal battle
over ownership
rights took place between the
company and the Spanish government . Cases like
these are part
of an ongoing debate about
protecting historically important ships from
treasure hunters.
