SHEET.
Passage One
Only three
years ago 41-year-old Lewis Winfield had a high-
powered job in an investment
bank, earning
hundreds of thousands a year. With two children at
top London schools and a house
英语试卷 B
第 4 页 共 11 页
in the West End, he and his wife Jackie,
a top divorce lawyer, led an often hectic social
life
involving a great deal of entertaining of
clients and trips to the opera and theatre. But
the couple
did not live beyond their means and
from the outside one would have said that they
were
extremely fortunate.
Surprisingly, perhaps, the background of both
Lewis and Jackie was anything but privileged,
both having been brought up on rough inner-
city council estates where most children could
expect
to end up unemployed. But despite
attending a dead-end school, Lewis was lucky
enough to
encounter a maths teacher who,
recognizing his ability, gave him extra help,
enabling him to get a
scholarship to Oxford,
which set him on the road to success.
However, even while making a mint at the bank
Lewis felt unable to forget his background
and
his less fortunate childhood friends, who, most
unusually for someone in his position, he still
saw from time to time. Today he describes how
at the age of 41 he felt so haunted by life's
unfairness that he felt he could no longer
justify what he described as his
cheque”.
Backed by Jackie, his wife, Lewis applied for a
post working as the financial manager
for a
well-known charity that helped disadvantaged
children. After a series of lengthy interviews,
to his astonishment, Lewis was offered the job
and today he can be found behind a desk in an
office, which, while not dilapidated, is
nothing like the impressive surroundings he was
used to
working in.
“I'm paid a
fraction of what I used to get, but it’s the best
move I’ve ever made in my life,”
Lewis tells
anyone willing to listen. “Whereas at the bank I
always had the uneasy feeling my
money was
completely undeserved, here I’m certain I’m doing
something worthwhile --- I know
where every
penny the charity brings in goes, that’s my job.
We get reports on the families we
help and the
work we do makes a real difference in children’s
lives. I feel comfortable with who I
am. It’s
a huge relief.”
Asked what his regrets are
for the life he left behind, Lewis admits to
missing the excitement
that working in an
investment bank generates. “There was a definite
buzz around. But that’s it.
Nothing else.
1. What kind of life did Lewis and his wife
seem to have three years ago?
A. A life in
which they spent more money than they had.
B.
A life which was mostly spent with their family,
when not working.
C. A good life but with some
problems at work.
D. A privileged life.
Why was it rather surprising that Lewis had
such a high-powered job?
A. Because Lewis did
not do well at school.
B. Because although his
school was good, Lewis did not do well there.
C. Because Lewis did not go to university.
D.
3.
Because Lewis was brought up in
an area where children did not receive a good
education.
Why did Lewis change his job?
A. Because he felt he had too much
responsibility.
B. Because he wanted to help
others who were not as lucky as him.
C.
Because he wanted to help his childhood friends.

D. Because he did not
know what to do with his money.
What kind of
job did Lewis take?
A. A job looking after
money for a children's charity.
B. A job
working with children who have difficult lives.
C. A job with a charity in which he writes
reports on disadvantaged children.
D. A job
with a charity that does not have much money.
What does Lewis feel now about his previous
job?
A. There are many things he misses, but
he wouldn't change his present job.
B. He
enjoyed the lively atmosphere.
C. He does not
like his previous job at all.
D. There was
nothing he enjoyed about it.
Passage Two
Being sociable looks like a good way to
add years to your life. Relationships with family,
friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the
trick, but the biggest longevity boost seems to
come
from marriage or an equivalent
relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858
by William Farr,
who wrote that widows and
widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than
their married peers.
Studies since then
suggest that marriage could add as much as seven
years to a man’s life and two
to a woman’s.
The effect holds for all causes of death, whether
illness, accident or self-harm.
Even if
the odds are stacked against you, marriage can
more than compensate. Linda Waite of
the
University of Chicago has found that a married
older man with heart disease can expect to live
nearly four years longer than an unmarried man
with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man
who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to
live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke.
There’s a flip side, however, as partners are
more likely to become ill or die in the couple of
years
following their spouse’s death, and
caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave
you with
some of the same severe problems.
Even so, the odds favor marriage. In a 30-year
study of more
than 10,000 people, Nicholas
Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how
all kinds of
social networks have similar
effects.
So how does it work? The effects
are complex, affected by socio-economic factors,
health-
service provision, emotional support
and other more physiological mechanisms. For
example,
social contact can boost development
of the brain and immune system, leading to better
health and
less chance of depression later in
life. People in supportive relationships may
handle stress better.
Then there are the
psychological benefits of a supportive
partner.
A life partner, children and good
friends are all recommended if you aim to live to
100. The
ultimate social network is still
being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are
interconnected,
so their health is
interconnected.”

and other studies show that _________.
A.
social life provides an effective cure for illness
B. being sociable helps improve one’s quality
of life
C. women benefit more than men from
marriage

Airline companies are responsible
for transporting your luggage. If you cannot
recover it at
the point of arrival, you must
inform the airline immediately. They will carry
out the necessary
search. If the luggage is
recovered, it will be delivered to your place of
residence. If you wish to
insure your luggage,
you may do so at your own expense.
Some
airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds
(20kg); in other cases, there is no weight
restriction, but you are not allowed more than
two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage
allowances from the airline with which you
will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for
excess luggage, which is not reimbursed by
Canadian International Development
Agency(CIDA).
Each suitcase, bag or
package must be clearly labeled with your name and
destination. If you

of the executing
agency whose name appears in the Training
Agreement, using the following
model:
Surname, first name
Name of your
country
Address of the executing
agency
City, country, postal code
Telephone number of executing agency
If you do not have this information, please
label your luggage with the name and address of
the institution you are to attend in Canada.
If none of these details are available, you can
use
CIDA’s address.

Passage
Four
Do you find getting up in the morning
so difficult that it’s painful? This might be
called
laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new
explanation. He has proved that everyone has a
daily energy
cycle.
During the hours
when you labor through your work you may say that
they are “hot”. That’s
true. The time of the
day when you feel energetic is when your cycle of
body temperature is at this
peak. For some
people the peak comes during the morning. For
others it comes in the afternoon or
evening.
No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads
to such familiar words: “Get up, John!
You’ll
be late for work again!” The possible explanation
to the trouble is that he is at his
temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and
wives realize what these energy cycles mean,
and which cycle each member of the family has.
You cannot change your energy cycle, but you
can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit
can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you are
sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up
late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some
extent by habitually staying up later than you
want to
英语试卷 B
第 8 页 共 11 页
do. If your
energy is low in the morning but you have an
important job to do early in the day, rise
before your usual hour. This won’t change your
cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at
your low point.
Get off to a slow
start, which saves your energy. Get up with a
leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit
on the edge of
the bed a minute before putting your feet on the
floor. Avoid the troublesome
search for clean
clothes by laying them out the night before.
Whenever possible, do routine work
in the
afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for
your sharper hours.
16. Dr. Kleitman
thinks that ______________.
A. getting up late
in the morning means laziness
B. if your
energy peak is in the evening, you might like
getting up early
C. people can do nothing
about energy cycle
D. spending some time
yawning and stretching helps to keep you energetic
17. According to the passage, family quarrels
may result from ___________.
A. the same
energy cycle of family members
B. unawareness
of different energy cycles
C. failing to get
up early in the morning
D. knowledge of energy
cycle
18. If you are used to getting up late
in the morning, you are likely to be most
energetic
_________.
A. in the morning
B. at noon
C. in the afternoon
D. in
the evening
19. What’s the likely relationship
between energy cycle and body temperature?
A.
Energy cycle and body temperature are the same
things.
B. The higher your temperature is, the
less energetic you are.
C. The higher your
temperature is, the more energetic you are.
D.
There is no direct relation between them.
20.
Which of the following statements is not true?
A. One can change his energy cycle once he

B. We still don’t know why
people have different energy cycles.

better.

Part IV: Writing (30 points)
Direction: Write about the following
topic:
From the news coverage, on the one
hand, teachers still hold the most respectable
job, and the
social expectation of teachers’
morality and knowledge remains high. On the other
hand, the
number of teacher-training
universities is decreasing and teachers’ salary is
less than satisfactory.
This mismatch is the
very obstacle that prevents many young talents
from the teaching
profession. What is your
opinion towards this dilemma of being a teacher in
China?
Write at least 250 words.
Part V: Pedagogy
Test (30 points)
Direction: Read the
passage and answer the question below.
One
of the key issues I've noticed in getting my
elementary learners to read is that of
self-
confidence.
The key to really
building learners' confidence in reading is to
prepare them effectively to
read. This means
'warming them up', engaging their interest in the
subject of the reading text, but
also pre-
teaching the words they will need to really
understand and enjoy the text. Here are some
things I do with learners in groups or pairs
before they read the text itself.
Does the text you have chosen have pictures?
If so, you can photocopy them and
distribute
them into groups of learners. If not, perhaps you
can draw something from the
text on the board.
Make sure that it will intrigue them. In either
case, give them some
focus questions. What is
it about? How many people are in the story? Let
the learners
think, share and
answer.
Write the headline or title on the
board. Ask the learners to work in small groups
and
think of 5 words that may come up in the
text. When they have done this, 'secretaries'
can come to the board and write up all the
words. Then the learners scan the text and see
how many of the words are in the text.
Which group got most words right?
Write
the title on the board and ask the learners, in
groups, to tell simple stories on the
subject of the title. Again, they read the
text and find out how it's the same and how it's
different.
Here are some ideas I use
for motivating my students during the actual
reading stage:
Select some
simple sentences from different parts of the text
and write them on the
board. Learners put them
in the correct order and predict the story in
groups. (Variation
on the idea above) If it's
an action story, get learners to act out or mime
the sentences in
groups.
英语试卷 B
第 10 页 共 11 页
Give students the first and last sentences of
the story. Groups come up with the story in
the middle.
Similarly, learners can
work together once they have read the text. Task
types which I use to
get my students working
in groups are:
Learners read and then act out the
story.
Jigsaw
reading. Each group has different information from
a different part of the text and
Learners read
and prepare some truefalse questions for the other
groups.
they must tell other students
about the part of the text they have read. This
way the learners
construct meaning from
the text collectively.
Question: How do
you cultivate learners' confidence in reading
English? Write between
100—120 words.
