Unfortunately it had been several minutes，and in the peak rush hour time，the   26   of finding him was slim to none. But I decided to give it a   27   and took off in that direction.

When I pulled in next to him，he couldn't believe it.“  33   did you find me?!” he asked. “I'm not sure，but I   34   that you are in the wrong city！” I showed him the right directions，and after more smiles，laughs and a handshake，we parted ways again.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡／纸上将该项涂黑。

A

My father was a self-taught mandolin（一种琵琶乐器）player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town .He could not read music，but if he heard a tune a few times，he could play it. When he was young，he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned（试音）and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.

Occasionally，Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others，he would，especially his family. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.

In 1950，our family moved. Dundalk and Dad found a job at Todd Steel. One day he was involved in an accident and got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything，but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.

After the accident，Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he used to. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually，we would wear him down and agreed to play. For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play.

Has the world just witnessed its first ever robot suicide（自杀）?

Tiring housework was seemingly too much for one cleaning robot to take，when it apparently rebelled（反抗） and decided to end it all.

The robot was given the tiresome task of cleaning up some spilt cereal（残渣剩饭） before it climbed on to a kitchen hotplate where it was destroyed，according to reports in Austria.

It had reportedly grown worn out of being forced to clean the same house every day and decided to become a victim to the robot cause.

“Somehow it seems to have restarted itself and made its way along the work surface where it pushed a cooking pot out of the way and basically that was the end of it,”explained fireman Helmut Kniewasser，who was called to handle the fire.

“It pretty quickly started to melt and then stuck to the kitchen hotplate. It then caught fire. By the time we arrived，it was just a pile of ash.”

 The fireman added: “The entire building had to be evacuated（疏散） and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat where the robot had been in use. It's a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate. ”

 It took an hour to clean and make the building safe. The homeowner plans to sue（控告） the producer of the robot.

42. According to the passage，the robot suicided because it ______.

A. failed to finish its daily work

B. was tired of doing house work

C. destroyed a kitchen hotplate

A. The robot shouldn't be designed to be restarted by itself.

B. The robot should be designed with no automatic moving ability.

C. We should not make the robot do too much housework.

D. We should not let the robot get close to the kitchen hotplate.

44. Why did the fireman Helmut Kniewasser arrive there?

A. To rescue the robot.            

B. To put out the fire.

C. To find the reasons for robot's suicide.

D. To warn people of the danger of the fire.

45. The building had to be evacuated because ______.

A. the robot might hurt people there

B. the building might be crashed at any time

C. The robot's producer.           D. The robot itself.

C

A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies，creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.

An electromagnetic field（电磁场） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.

“It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,”says artist Daan Roosegaarde.

His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.

With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog，Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.

 Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.

“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”

 “We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”

 Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem，rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.

“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars，different industry and different lifestyles.”

However，he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.

47. The device works by _______.

A. helping keep the particles out with more masks

B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field

C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static

D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky

48. According to the passage，_______ .

A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing

B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors

C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable

D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution

49. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place... ”?

A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.

B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.

C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.

D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.

50. The underlined word “replicated” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.

A. reproduced                  B. destroyed                   C. worried       D. described

51. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.

A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally

B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing

C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles

D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

52. According to Roosegaarde，the smog in Beijing is mainly caused by ______.

A .the climate changing of the whole world

B. the local industry，cars and lifestyles

C. government's emergency measures

D. inefficiency of air-cleaning devices

D

The intelligence times provide us much convenience，but at the same time，some of our abilities are being weakened gradually.

1. Memorizing phone numbers

It was annoying to remember numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost，stolen，or damaged. No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family，friends and business. If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.

2. Map-reading skills

 The convenience and effectiveness of GPS guidance systems and digital maps generated by search engines is unquestionable. They've definitely made our lives easier. What we don't get from using these devices and applications is the increased ability to understand spatial orientation（空间方向）and navigation.

To renew or acquire those skills，try using physical maps to plan your next trip. After a few trips，you'll be pleasantly surprised with how useful a physical map can be.

3. Photography

Even amateur photography requires a basic learning about lighting，depth，and composition. This is true for digital photography. Most smart cameras automatically make these adjustments. We no longer have to learn the art of photography. On most devices，this is easily changed by turning off the automatic settings. Experiment with setting by hand the scene modes，lighting，and zoom. You just may learn that you're a “true photographer”.

4. Reading comprehension

The primary cause is E-reader. They're convenient and can store thousands of books. But there's evidence that E-reader makes it more difficult for readers to keep and recall information they just read. Don't worry! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when seeking information we need for academic or career purposes.

5.Hand-written correspondence（通信）

Writing letters and notes include hand writing skills，organizational skills，and learning about the person or persons you correspond with. This is another easily regained skill. Send a letter to an old friend，relative or acquaintance.

53. What's the disadvantage by adding all numbers to the contacts list?

A. We might lose all our phone numbers accidentally.

B. It's hard to find the number from the contacts list.

C. We may only have the ability to remember 5 numbers.

D. Our device is more easily damaged or stolen.

54. To acquire the skills of spatial orientation and navigation，it's necessary for one to ______.

A. use the GPS guidance systems

B. accept the convenience of digital maps

C. use physical maps instead of digital ones

D. plan some trips now and then

55. To make yourself a “true photographer”，you ______.

A. must make it clear how the digital camera works itself

B. have to make your camera do the adjustments automatically

C. had better try to set the scene modes，lighting，and zoom by hand

D. don't need to learn the art of photography

56 .E-readers are thought to weaken our reading comprehension because ______.

A. they are convenient and can store thousands of books

B. they make it more difficult for us to recall information

C. less people can afford to buy E-readers

D. people are not fond of reading printed books nowadays

57. The author encourages us to send a letter to old friends so that we can ______.

A.1earn to know how to get in touch with our friends

B. easily know whether they will write you back or not

C. make sure of the importance of communication

D. renew hand writing skills and organizational skills

58. The author of the text seems to ______.

A. be worried that we might lose some basic abilities in intelligence society

B. point out to us the abilities one should have for adapting to the modem society

C. be glad that people will regain these abilities by using them often in daily life

D. find out that these abilities will probably make modern people different from before

E

Freezing weather can mean frostbite and hypothermia unless a person is prepared. Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears. Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it releases. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty in thinking clearly. Hypothermia can lead to death if the person does not receive help.

To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm.

Think of COLD—C.O.L.D.

The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears. And wear mittens instead of gloves. In gloves，the fingers are separated，so the hands might not stay as warm as they would in mittens.

The O stands for overexertion（用力过度）． Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.

L is for layers. Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit.

D is for dry. In other words，stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing. These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.

And here are two other things to keep in mind—one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature. And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm. But what it really does is to weaken the body's ability to hold heat.

59. What is the best title of this text?

A. Frostbite and Hypothermia Are Often Seen in Winter

B. Wet Clothes and Cold Weather Are a Dangerous Combination

C. How to Stay Warm and Safe in Freezing Weather

D. Alcohol Can Weaken the Body's Ability to Hold Heat.

60. Which of the following is not a sign of hypothermia?

A. Uncontrollable shaking.             B. Very slow breathing.

C. Difficulty in thinking clearly.          D. Having too much sweat.

61. Which of the following pictures is a mitten?

 

62. Which way is not proper if you want to keep dry in winter?

A. Wearing a coat with tight neck.

B. Eating clean snow.

C. Wearing water-resistant clothes.

D. Letting no snow enter boots.

63. Which of the following is right for us to do in freezing weather?

A. Carrying alcohol and drinking often.

B. Wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.

C. Working hard to make ourselves sweaty.

D. Wearing loose clothing of more layers.

第三部分   书面表达（共两节，满分49分）

第一节  阅读表达（共6小题；其中67题4分，其余每小题3分，满分19分）

Dear Ronny，

【1】Years ago you came to me for help. You said，“Grandpa，how is it that you've accomplished so much in your life？You're still full of energy，and I'm already tired of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you've got?”

【2】 I didn't know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered，I figure that I owe you an answer. So here is what I believe.

【3】I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it “keeping your eyes wide open. ”First，realize that life is filled with surprises，but many are good ones. If you don't keep watching for them，you'll miss half the excitement.

【4】When you__________________ challenges，welcome them. They'll leave you wiser，stronger，and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake，be grateful for the things it taught you. Make up your mind to use that lesson to help you reach your goals. And always follow the rules. When you follow the rules，life works. If you think you ever really get by with breaking the rules，you're only fooling yourself.

【5】 It's also important to decide exactly what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it，and be prepared to receive it.

【6】 Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn't just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one peak to the next. If you rest too long in between，you might be tempted to quit. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.

【7】 Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures. So consider all the pathways ahead，and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself，get up，and get going. And be sure to take breaks once in a while. They'll give you a renewed commitment to your dreams and a cheerful，healthy view of the things that matter the most to you.

【8】Most important of all，never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the one who is determined to win. Give life everything you've got，and life will give its best back to you.

Love always，

Grandpa

写作（One possible version）：

Dear Mr. Johnson,

I’m an exchange student from AAA High School. Today I’m writing to express my sincere thanks to your shopping centre for helping me find my handbag.

I went to your shopping centre the other day and when I came back, I discovered that my handbag was nowhere to be found. I had no idea / I was totally at a loss where I could have left it. It contained all my important certificates, without which I would get into great trouble. So I felt extremely worried and upset.

Luckily, one of your clerks came to my school yesterday and returned my handbag to me. I was surprised and excited, for I never thought I would recover my handbag! I do appreciate your kindness and this is definitely an unforgettable experience while I’m staying in your city.

Please accept my hearty thanks and best wishes.

                                                                　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  Yours,
