I called out to him: “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, __38__ and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unintentionally locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was __39__, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled.

I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a __42__ and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and __43__ for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. __44__, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he __45__ toward the town.
“My life was __46__ by a smile.” Yes, the smile — the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could __47__ each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, we'll officially welcome the Year of the Horse following the arrival of Spring Festival on Jan. 31. The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world. Horses were used for thousands of years as a means of transport, a weapon of war and a plougher of fields, but the horse was “more than just a vehicle — it had more character than a car, a tank or a tractor,” Clare Balding wrote for The Telegraph.
In the Middle Ages in Western societies, the horse was a symbol of chivalry(骑士精神)and nobility(高贵). In fact, the word “Chivalry” comes from “cheval” in Old French, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to fashion the 19th century concept of the “gentleman”, which was related to courtesy(礼貌), courage and loyalty to friends.
Nowadays, because of economic development, people in Western societies are less likely to see or ride horses. People living in cities, in particular, hardly ever experience horses except through movies, paintings or books. But horse racing, and betting money on horse races, is still popular. The annual Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular sporting events in the US. In the UK, the royal police still patrol on horseback and the Queen rides in a traditional horsedrawn carriage on “ceremonial occasions”.
The significance of horses in the past is reflected in idioms still used in English today. For example, people still say “hold your horses” to mean “slow down”. If someone seems too proud, people might tell him or her to “get off his or her high horse”. And since horses are strong and energetic, there are expressions such as “as strong as a horse”, “workhorse” and “horsing around”.
Interestingly, the horse also appears in many Chinese idioms, such as qianlima, which means a talented person. Other Chinese horse idioms include madaochenggong (instant success) and baimawangzi (prince charming). Besides their physical strengths, horses have powerful brains, possessing “excellent memories”, according to Discovery News. Maybe that's why the Chinese idiom says: “An old horse never gets lost”.
Since the horse is honored as a symbol of vigor, loyalty, persistence and intelligence, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to share such good qualities.
()56. In what fields are horses NOT used in history according to the article?
A. Transport and farming.
B. Vehicle and tractor.
C. Battle and transport.
D. Weapon and plougher.
()57. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Gentlemen must be dressed like a chivalry riding a horse.
B. The horse is a symbol of nobility in modern time.
C. Gentlemen were referred to those who were polite and faithful to friends.
D. Chivalry is a French word meaning courtesy.
()58. What can people see in Kentucky Derby?
A. Queen rides on a horsedrawn carriage.
B. The police patrol on horses.
C. People enjoy movies and books about horse riding.
D. Horse racing competitions.
()59. The Chinese idiom “An old horse never gets lost” indicates that ________.
A. old horses are better in finding their ways back
B. old horses have bigger brains than young horses
C. old horses can memorize many things though they are so weak
D. old horses are excellent in their memory
()60. We may probably use horse to describe a person who is ________.
A. strong and badtempered
B. smart and vigorous
C. patient and energetic
D. stubborn and honestB
Along with the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Sphinx(狮身人面像) is one of the most studied ancient monument of mankind's history. The whole complex of Giza, composed of the Sphinx, the Great Pyramid, other pyramids, and distinct structures, definitely holds the key to understanding advanced past civilizations. In the examination of the mystery of the great Sphinx we run into a similar situation. The Egyptians wrote very little about the construction of the Sphinx. However, the Egyptians, Romans, and Arabs did write accounts concerning its numerous restorations, which will be discussed later in this article. In addition, it should be said that other cultures had their form of a Sphinx. For example, the Greek Sphinx was a female with a human head, breast, and the body of a feminine lion.
Now there are basically two schools of thought on the origin, the age and the builder of the Sphinx in Egypt. The traditional view of Egyptologists is that Pharaoh Khafre of the Fourth Dynasty built the Sphinx along with the Great Pyramid around 2,500 BC. The evidence is that the face of the Sphinx is thought to look like Pharaoh Khafre. This theory makes the Sphinx about 5,000 years old according to Dr Zahi Hawass, director of Giza Saqqara of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization.
The other school of thought doesn't believe that the Egyptians built the Sphinx, but thinks that it was built by an advanced civilization before the Egyptians. The Egyptians came later and built their tombs and temples along the sides of these great structures.
This school of thought has been around for hundreds of years, but new buildings give it more credibility. Recently, Graham Hancock, the author of the famous book Fingerprints of the Gods and some American scholars have presented certain evidence that challenges the traditional thought on the Sphinx.
They present proofs that may cause a rethinking of the socalled fact used to determine who built the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid of Giza and for what purpose. Their proofs consist of basically two pieces of evidence astronomical(天文学的) calculations of the stars and geological evidence that the erosion(侵蚀) of the Sphinx and other monuments of Giza was due to water rather than sand, wind or sunshine according to Robert Bauval's book The Message of the Sphinx. It is this evidence that has turned the Egyptologists' world upside down.
61. According to the traditional view of Egyptologists, the Sphinx was built by Pharaoh Khafre because ______.
A. the face of the Sphinx looks like Pharaoh Khafre
B. the Great Pyramid was built by Pharaoh Khafre
C. Pharaoh Khafre built his tomb beside the Sphinx
D. Pharaoh Khafre left books showing he built the Sphinx
62. The underlined word “credibility” in the fourth paragraph probably means “the quality of being ______”.
A. doubted
B. judged
C. believed
D. controlled
63. The surface of the Sphinx was destroyed by ______.
A. water
B. wind
C. sand
D. sunshine
64. Which of the following is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show the importance of the Sphinx.
B. To tell us two views on the origin of the Sphinx.
C. To introduce an advanced civilization to us.
D. To explain some mysteries of the Sphinx.
65. What would most possibly be discussed in the following section?
A. What the form and sizes of the Sphinx are.
B. The observations of the Sphinx have been made in the present and past.
C. The proof the Arabs have offers to support their theory on the Sphinx.
D. The account concerning Sphinx's restorations written by the Egyptians, Romans, and Arabs.
C
People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It's not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture.
Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined(注定) to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能).
Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./sth. to develop better and more quickly )as the basis of their behavior.
The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.
Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.
66. The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem ______.
A. why our personalities and behaviors differ
B. what makes different stages of intelligence
C. how social scientists form different theories
D. what causes the “nature/nurture” argument
67. The word “proponents” can best be replaced by ______.
A. approaches
B. advocates
C. principles
D. characters
68. Which of the following statements may be supported by the “nature” school?
A. We are born with certain personalities and behaviors.
B. Environment has nothing to do with our personalities.
C. Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors.
D. Only extreme behaviors are determined by instincts.
69. What can we learn about the behaviorists?
A. They believe human beings are mechanical.
B. They compare our behaviors to the machines.
C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.
D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.
70. The “nature” theorists believe that the black's low scores ______.
A. are the result of the educational disadvantages
B. are a display of the blacks' poor intelligence
C. have nothing to do with their true intelligence
D. have nothing to do with factors other than heredity(遗传)
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.Career development refers to the lifelong process of continuously managing your professional work. The process assists people in defining their career goals and ambitions clearly.
Education is the first step in career development because education received in various institutions like elementary school, high school, and university helps in increasing the depth of a student's knowledge.
Career development is also concerned with personality as a person needs to present himself in the best way possible in his workplace to make a mark for himself. Relevant personal qualities are important, such as loyalty to the company, responsibility and so on, since these qualities can establish your credibility and honesty among colleagues.
Along with quality of education and personality, career development also emphasizes the important aspects of training. Knowledge learned in classrooms needs to be applied smartly to doing the work assigned in a satisfactory way. For this, a good deal of training needs to be provided for the employees by their employers. Get as much training as possible! Take any training available from your employers.
There are many objectives of career development, one of which is identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Your career won't move in a wrong direction only if you make full use of your strengths and working on your weaknesses. A person understands his worth with the help of career development. Thus career development affects current and future performance of people.
Because of the development of globalization, employers may have to work in different places across the world. Therefore, adapting to the conditions that are changing is also one objective of career development. In the absence of career development programs, employees may witness a reduced productivity which will affect their career advancement.
Information is another objective of career development. Employees and students must have right information about career planning and various opportunities available to them at the right time to take opportunities and achieve their goals. They need to be aware of the skills and qualities which are essential in a modern business environment.
As has been stated above, one really has to take into account and do a lot in the process of career development. But what's the most important is that those who are going to create a bright and plentiful career future must improve themselves constantly over the whole life span.Title: 71.__________

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
We gather earlier today to create poster boards that we would proudly hold up on busy street intersections of San Francisco. The posters would say simple things like “Smile” or “Smile anyway” or “Spare a smile” or “Smile; it's free”. We were doing this simply for lack of smiles in the world.
We split up into teams of four and spread over various intersections. We stood at the intersections, with a big smile on our own faces, yelling “smile” at cars stopped there.
Hundreds of cars passed by. Drivers pointed their fingers to the smile on their faces, mothers looked at their kids who were quick to show their teeth, the bus passengers waved as if we were their best friends, and old couples gave a satisfied look as they were no longer worried about the future generation. No one felt like a stranger.
Half way through, two kids wanted to join us. They were on spring break and were dying to tell people to smile. Almost immediately, they started flashing the posters, yelling “smile” on the top of their lungs. Practically no one could refuse an invitation to smile from lovely kids.
Time passed quickly. We had to head back so we could share stories with other group members. Just then, the two kids innocently asked us, “Can we keep two of the posters?” “Why, sure. Here you go.” We thought that perhaps they were just going to take them home.
But we were wrong. In the distance, we heard the voices of the two kids — “Sssssmmmmile, Smmmiiiiiiiile.” We were done, but the kids were still going.
Thich Nhat Hanh once said, “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile and sometimes your smile is the source of your joy.” Today, my smile is the source of my joy. No doubt.
81. What was the purpose of the poster boards? (No more than 6 words)

82. What did the author and his friends do at the intersections? (No more than 10 words)

Ladies and gentlemen,
I feel it is a great honor to have a chance to give a speech here, talking about haze weather around us. When air is mixed with dust, haze forms. Haze is a kind of air pollution, which has bad effect on people's health, especially on children. Air in haze could make people get lung diseases or even cancer. Workers working in the open air may have a higher risk when they are exposed to such weather. In addition to health issues, heavy fog and haze could make it harder for drivers to see the road clearly, which could cause traffic accidents.
As far as I'm concerned, something should be done to reduce such air pollution. On one hand, something should be done to stop factories from polluting the air. On the other hand, people are supposed to ride bikes or walk as much as possible instead of using cars. If everyone tries his best to protect the earth, our environment will become better and better!
