Against this heavy curtain of history, in this place where the stone of

After selling piggy banks for more than a year 48.
suddenly dawned on me—why are they called piggy banks? What does a pig have to do 49.
saving money? A pig would be the 50.
animal you’d associate with saving! Why not bunny banks 51.
doggy banks and for that matter, why an animal at 52.
I Additionally, piggy bank sounds like it was intended as a child’s item as how many adults would use a piggy bank for collecting change?
To satisfy 53.
curiosity, I did some piggy bank research and have learned some interesting things and thought I would share them with you.
54.
you well know, many, particularly ceramic(陶器的), piggy banks do not have an opening to remove the money. Now why is that? The theory goes that this is to serve as a lesson in finances for children. The piggy banks enables a child to save his money, but forces him to justify his spending as in order to access the money he needs to break his piggy bank. This lesson seems to have been forgotten by many adults! Maybe we should keep a piggy bank in our front foyer and deposit(存储) our loose change

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension （30 marks）
Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．
A
The River Thames was once described as “biologically(生物学地) dead”. A waterway polluted with so much industrial waste that no wildlife could survive in it.
But today it has become a thriving (繁荣的) natural habitat and a team of conservationists restoring the famous river have been offered a top environment award for their work.
Ncarly 40 miles of the river have been improved in the last five years through almost 400 Environment Agency restoration projects. As a result, the river is now home to some 125 species of fish, while many others are returning. The river mouth supports shellfisheries and is a nursery ground(育苗场) for bass (鲈鱼) stocks, and the water quality of the Thames has improved.
Alastair Driver, the Environment Agency’s national conservation manager, said that in the last 150 years, the Thames had been polluted seriously and that it had taken thousands of people decades to restore it to its current condition. “Strict regulations for polluting industries and our work with farmers, businesses and water companies to reduce pollution and improve water quality have helped to make the Thames a living river once again.” But he warned that the river’s recovery was still “fragile”, since it was under the pressure from a growing population and climate change. He said advanced projects and cooperation with various people and organizations aim at dealing with the problems the Thames faces and ensuring(确保) it still a famous river for
many centuries to come.
Actor, David Suchet, a skillful boater and chairman of the River Thames Alliance, said, “I am fortunate in my life to have traveled widely and enjoyed many other rivers worldwide. But the River Thames is priceless and it is one of the most glittering jewels in the crown of our English heritage.”
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, said, “The Thames is one of our most precious resources, so I am excited to see that efforts to improve and preserve its good health are being praised on the world stage.”
The ￡ 220,000 prize, awarded at the International Rive Symposium in Australia, will go to the Thames Rivers Restoration Trust.

A．The River Thames h as become a nursery ground now.

57．What can we learn about David Suchet?

B．He is an actor who is good at boating.
C．He has traveled to al rivers in the world.
D．He is a manager of the Environment Agency.
58．What does the underlined word “fragile” in the fourth paragraph mean?

B．Most visited.
C．Easily damaged.
D．Strongly praised.
59．What was Boris Johnson’s attitude towards the honor?

Thoreau and other naturalists have praised the benefits of nature to your state of mind in their works, but there are some researches showing how nature makes you smarter. A study has found that exposure to the great outdoors improves cognitive(认知的) function. Experts have called this attention restoration therapy(注意力修复治疗).
In the study, researchers from the University of Michigan asked a group of volunteers to complete a take designed to challenge memory and attention. The volunteers then took a walk in either a park or in downtown Ann Arbor. After the walk, volunteers returned to the lab and were retested on the task. The performance on the memory and attention task greatly improved in people following the walk in the park, but did not improve in those who walked downtown.
Why nature makes you smarter? According to the experts, one reason has to do with how nature affects your attention. You have two types of attention. One is involuntary, where your attention is attracted by some stimuli(刺激物). And the other one is directed attention, where you control your attention. Directed attention is important for memory, resolving conflict and reducing absent mind.
Being in nature exposes you to soothing stimuli that engages your involuntary attention. It gives your directed attention a rest and a chance to become renewed. When you are in a city, you are constantly vigilant(警觉的), your directed attention is turned on and cannot get a rest.
Richard Luov created the term “nature deficit(缺乏) disorder disorder” to describe a condition of being so out of touch with nature that we lose humility, our spirituality, our humanity and we also are at higher risk of obesity(肥胖), depression and other disease. His first book, Last Child in the Woods, was about the negative effects of a nature deficit on children, but his new book. The Nature Principle, describes how adults are equally at risk if they seldom spend time with nature.
If you can’t be in nature today, get a screen saver of nature. In another part of the study, people who were simply shown photos of nature did better on cognitive function than those shown urban images. But I think it will be better for you to go out and experience the real things.
61．Which of the following probably belongs to the attention restoration therapy?
A．Doing exercise in the gym.
B．Reading Thoreau’s works at home.
C．Jogging around in the shopping mall.
D．Walking or running through a local park.
62．From the second paragraph, we can learn all EXCEPT that
.
A．the study was conducted by experts of University of Michigan
B．the study is about people’s memory and attention
C．the study indicates nature has a good effect on memory and attention
D．the participants should walk in both the park and downtown
63．According to the passage, when one is considered to engage your involuntary attention?
A．Remembering things. B．Relaxing in nature.
C．Solving problems.
D．Being cautious.
64．Which is the CORRECT information about Richard Luov?
A．He found the reason for obesity.
B．He wrote a book about children’s problems.
C．He has published a new health book.
D．He created a term to describe people who spend little time in nature.
65．which of the following would the author highly advise readers to do?
A．Get a picture of nature.
B．Avoid watching urban images.
C．Set your screen with an image of nature as the background.
D．Go out and spend time in nature.
C
Though much effort and many resources have been spent on protecting the endangered giant panda, research by an international team of scientists shows that much suitable panda habitat is outside the nature reserves and areas where the panda is reported to live.
“This research can help the Chinese government and international nongovernmental organizations develop full strategic(战略上的) plans for more effective conservation of the panda,” said Jianguo “Jack” Liu, MSU University Distinguished Professor of fisheries and wildlife.
“Overall, about 40 percent of the suitable habitat for pandas is inside the nature reserves,” said Andres Vina, a specialist. “But we have also identified potentially suitable habitat outside the reserves.”
The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. Pandas once ranged throughout most of China, northern Vietnam and northern Myanmar. Today, fewer than 1,600 giant pandas live in the wild in three Chinese provinces; Gansu, Shanxi and Sichuan. Human actions—including logging(伐木), residential development and the expansion of farming—are considered the main reasons for the dramatic decrease of the giant panda’s habitat.
The research team developed habitat models using geographical and environmental information gathered by satellites overlaid with information on panda occurrence. After analyzing six mountain regions in the three provinces where pandas are known to live, the scientists developed a habitat suitability index(索引) for the entire 48,328 square-mile area. The range-wide habitat analysis model gives the government and other agencies a new tool as they develop conservation strategies not only for pandas but also for many other endangered species.
“The Chinese government plans to add about 69,500 square miles of land to the country’s nature reserve system between 2010 and 2020,” said Zhiyun Ouyang, director of the Lab of Urban and Regional Erology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. “So opportunities exist to create new reserves, to expand existing reserves and to create pathways that increase the connectivity among the reserves. On the basis of our results, we suggest some new areas be included in China’s nature reserve system.”
66．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．China has made lots of efforts to protect the giant panda.
B．Pandas live better only outside the nature reserves.
C．More plans should be created to protect the giant pandas.
D．Liu Jianguo is a professor who devotes himself to fisheries and wildlife.
67．According to the passage, the giant pandas
.
A．have the same living habit as bears
B．are only suitable to live in Gansu, Shanxi and Sichuan
C．will all be protected in the nature reserves
D．are endangered mainly due to the damage to their habitat
68．The purpose of developing habitat models is
.
A．to know where pandas actually live in China
B．to build a larger nature reserve for the pandas
C．to develop conservation strategies for endangered species
D．to give governments a warning
69．The underlined word “overlaid” in the fifth paragraph probably means “
”.
A．covered B．connected C．coped D．varied
70．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Zhiyun Ouyang hopes more areas will become nature reserves in China.
B．China has about 69,500 square miles of nature reserves now.
C．The existing reserves will remain the same.
D．The existing reserves shouldn’t be expanded.
Part Ⅳ Writing（45 marks）
Section A （10 marks）
Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the Information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Prior to the explosive expansion of Home-based business opportunities, the usual work form home position normally involved an actual individual offering a service to the nearby community or neighborhood. This type of enterprise still needed a number of the logistical(逻辑的；运筹的) functions of standard small businesses, such as stocking inventory, sending orders, making sales calls, and so on. And for many, such as landscape design or shipping company, this also required having vehicles, equipment and also managing employees.
Although these opportunities continue to exist currently, the growing unitization of the Internet has also opened yet another business opportunity, the Online based work form home business, in which the person hardly ever really will have to leave his or her home. Most of the regular duties stated earlier are no longer necessary. Products such as e-books and programs are generally transported to the client with the click of a mouse. Even “hard” goods such as bikes, video games, DVDs and flowers are often shipped by means of drop shippers and / or wholesalers therefore reducing the requirement for stocking and transporting. Business is able to be carried out over the phone as well as via email messages and therefore the possibilities appear to increase every day.
Anyone having some type of computer, or simply, only access to one, can certainly have an Online-based home business.
Alright, so what types of folks are searching for Internet based home business opportunities nowadays?
In the past, Internet businesses have been generally created by an unsatisfied employee thinking they were not really getting compensated what they were truly worth and also, for just one of many good reasons, wanted to spend more of their time in their home. Many people wished for more suitable working hours or resented his or her manager. Although nowadays, increasingly more Online business owners want to supplement their regular income. For a few, the online enterprise may ultimately become their full time method of earning a living, as this work at home revenue gets more dependable. One other group of folks obtaining success on the Internet are actually individuals that don’t have a college degree or with no particular business schooling. As a result of turnkey not to mention automated characteristics of countless Internet businesses, positions which previously demanded official schooling or, at the very least, a basic knowledge of business, are becoming obsolete(过时的，淘汰的).
These days, countless stay at home parents are discovering organizations that allow them to spend their time working as an affiliate marketer for a large business in an MULTI LEVEL MARKETING or network marketing opportunity. They are scheduling their own “convenient” working hours, but still carning enough money to pay the bills—and then some. To be able to remain in your own home to spend time with the family and other loved ones but still being productive seems to have made working an online home business a perfect opportunity for quite a few. For others, on the other hand, working a home business has allowed them to systematically fill that desire for self-employment that runs throughout the veins(脉) of more and more individuals, due to the enormous financial success currently being attained by numerous Online entrepreneurs!

Section B （10 marks）
Directions: Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in lie. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago. I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for preparing to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had the surgery and the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. And I’m fine now.
This was the closes I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
