　　A

　　It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.

　　Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

　　However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

　　An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

　　21. The passage mainly talks about

　　A. road politeness

　　A. beat back when forced to face rude driving

　　B. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it

　　C. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to

　　D. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel

　　23. The following statements are right EXCEPT that

　　A. some modern drivers are not good at driving

　　B. road politeness is good sense as well as good manners

　　C. it is also right to have a tiger in the driver’s seat

　　D. a friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness

　　24. It is not always right for drivers to

　　A. master roadmanship

　　B. recognize politeness when they see it

　　C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness

　　D. wave a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path

　　UK education is all about giving you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative, and support to help you achieve your best.

　　On a UK course you will benefit from excellent teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.

　　With such a good reputation for research and education, universities and colleges in the UK attract some of the world’s leading academics and professionals. You will be encouraged to express your own ideas and think for yourself.

　　The attention to quality is reflected in the UK’s excellent results:

　　Four of the top six universities in the world are in the UK.

　　The UK is a world-leading research nation. 54% of the research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either “world-leading” or “internationally excellent”.

　　At the most recent inspection, 97% of further education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall effectiveness.

　　In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said they were satisfied with their UK learning experience.

　　Likewise, in the Higher Education Academy Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of teaching positively.

　　For English language students, you’ll find the UK has long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the techniques now used around the world. The emphasis is on learning the language through fun and participation. Instead of just listening to your teacher, your classes will involve games, problem-solving and discussions. You might also listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your comprehension skills.

　　The UK’s boarding schools also offer excellent teaching, facilities and support. At UK independent schools (most boarding schools are independent), a teacher has just 9.4 pupils on average, so teachers have more time to give you individual support. This is reflected in the results: 91% of students from UK independent schools go on to higher education.

　　A. To develop knowledge and skills.

　　B. To help achieve your best.

　　My Left Foot (1989)

　　Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown, can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.

　　Shine (1996)

　　Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos(协奏曲) in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations(提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.

　　Life Is Beautiful (1997)

　　Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.

　　Stand and Deliver (1988)

　　Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalante’s support. The real Jaime Escalante is, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”

　　For many of us, a little time with our smartphones or iPads before sleep is the highlight of the night. But would you still think it is relaxing if you knew that it damages or destroys your sleep? Scientists say that’s exactly what it does.

　　In ancient times, when there were no lamps, telephones or smartphones, the sun was the main source of light. When the sun went down, our brains took that as a signal to start producing melatonin(褪黑素), a chemical that helps us sleep.

　　However, a healthy amount of melatonin can only be produced in complete darkness. Any light in your bedroom — even the one on the alarm clock or the charging indicator on your cellphone — could disturb the process, not to mention something as bright as smartphone and iPad screens. We tend to hold these much closer than a television or a laptop, which allows them to shoot far more light straight into our eyes.

　　“This is particularly worrisome in populations such as young adults and adolescents, who already tend to be night owls,” said researcher Brittany Wood at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. “Lack of sleep among teens is leading to depression, self­harm, low concentration and poor performance at school,” she added.

　　While all lights are the enemy of sleep, not all colors of light have the same effect. Our eyes are particularly sensitive to blue light, which is common during the day. Most of the light coming from electronic screens is blue light and it fools our brain into thinking it’s still daytime. By contrast, orange or red light has less influence on melatonin production, because our brains recognize it as a signal that the day is ending, according to The Telegraph.

　　Asking yourself to keep your hands off your smartphone before bedtime might seem unreasonable, but you should at least remember to dim the screen or hold it farther away from your eyes. You could also wear a pair of orange sunglasses that take away the harmful blue light.

　　33. According to the passage, we can know ________.

　　A. it’s a good habit to play with smartphones or iPads late into night

　　B. scientists suggest we should avoid using smartphones or iPads

　　C. darkness makes a great impact on the amount of melatonin

　　D. the sun was the only source of light in ancient times

　　34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The darker it is, the more melatonin will be produced.

　　B. The lighter it is, the more melatonin will be produced.

　　C. The more melatonin you have, the worse you’ll sleep.

　　D. The more electrical equipment you have, the more melatonin will be produced.

　　35. In the writer’s opinion, which is a correct suggestion?

　　A. You should go to bed when the sun goes down.

　　B. You should use an orange or red light electronic screen.

　　C. You should wear a pair of blue sunglasses when sleeping.

　　D. You should avoid blue light as possible as you can before bedtime.

　　第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

　　Identity theft (身份盗用) is one of the fastest-growing crimes. Identity theft is a crime in which your personal information is stolen by someone and is used in an illegal way. When your identity is stolen, the thief often does fraud (诈骗) with that. He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills;

　　36

　　And you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…

　　Why is identity theft becoming so common? 37

　　. And the wealth of personal details people post on social networks such as Facebook also makes it easier for identity thieves to obtain personal information.

　　Many people are not aware of the problems caused by this crime. They wake up from their carefree attitude only when they become a victim and suffer the damages caused by this crime.

　　38

　　And this is why it is important that every person should become cautious when using the Internet. The following tips may prevent you from identity theft.

　　First, make sure your computer has an updated anti-virus and firewall system installed. Second, only enter your credit card details on secure sites, or websites that you’ve used before. Third, 39

　　. Your date of birth, names of schools attended, phone number or the names of your parents are often required to verify (证明) an identity, and thieves can use this information too. Fourth, avoid sharing files as this gives other people access to your hard drive. Fifth, never open suspicious e-mails from unknown source. Last but not least, create complex passwords using a combination of numbers and keyboard symbols. 40

　　.

　　A. The popularity of the Internet and computers provides a gateway（出入口）for the identity theft.

　　B. Avoid giving away too much personal information on social networking sites.

　　C. There is one solution to the problem.

　　D. He may get a driver’s license in your name.

　　E. And change your passwords on a regular basis.

　　F. There is no cure for identity theft except prevention.

　　G. He may borrow money from the bank in your name.

　　When an egg breaks from outside, a life ends. When an Egg breaks from inside, a life begins.

　　All life’s circumstances can be seen in an egg where in the soft yolk (蛋黄) inside is our

　　and the hard shell outside is the barrier. When the barrier breaks from outside, our desire is crushed, but when it breaks from inside, we

　　a new skill, a new habit and a new life.

　　I was 22 years old. I did not

　　43

　　where the kitchen was in my house, since I had

　　44

　　gone into the kitchen before. All of a sudden, I had to move to America to pursue my master’s degree. That is when it

　　45

　　to me that I had to learn to cook a proper meal in order to

　　gave me yet another skill for life,

　　alone.

　　It is easy to break an egg from outside, but it is

　　53

　　to break it from inside. What is even more difficult is to

　　54

　　you from outside and break the egg from inside. That is where the role of a teacher, a mentor(导师) or a coach comes in.

　　my son cycling and swimming. In this case, the yolk was the untapped(未开发的 potential of my son and the barrier was his fear of losing

　　The important lesson here is that the egg will be

　　59

　　whichever side. Success, when the egg breaks from inside, is more about what you overcome than what you achieve.

　　Life always throws up

　　60

　　. I urge you all learn the instrument that you always wanted to play but have not played so far. As the saying goes, there is never a lock without a key, never a problem without a solution. Persist, believe in yourself and allow your yolk to break through to a new soul, a new you.

　　63

　　injured, but there was no one to take care of them. Dunant worked for three days helping them.

　　When he returned to Switzerland, he wrote a book about his experience. The leaders of many countries read his book and wanted to do something. As a result, the Red Cross

　　that there are many ways to do so. First of all, we can have more interactive activities in class, such as discussions, interviews, story-telling and role-play. Secondly, we can take part in more out-of-class activities like English speech contests and English evenings. Thirdly, we need to find more opportunities to communicate in English with people, whether they are English teachers or classmates, foreigners or Chinese, because using English is the best way to learn.

　　These ideas sound reasonable and practical. From my experience, there are many other interesting and relaxing ways. For example, we can listen to English songs and watch English movies. We can also watch English programs on TV or join English clubs or make English pen-friends on the Internet.
