Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams(1860-1935)‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson(1907-1964)‎ If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)‎ When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks(1913-2005)‎ On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.‎ ‎21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A. Her teaching skills. B. Her social work.‎ C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.‎ ‎22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?‎ A. Her lack of proper training in law.‎ B. Her little work experience in court.‎ C. The poor financial conditions.‎ D. The discrimination against women.‎ ‎23. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?‎ A. Rosa Park. B. Rachel Carson. ‎ C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Jane Addams.‎ ‎24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?‎ A. They are highly educated. B. They are pioneers.‎ C. They are truly creative. D. They are peace-lovers.‎ B Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”‎ ‎ A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.‎ ‎ Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.‎ ‎ Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”‎ ‎ “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎ “Oh, sure.”‎ ‎ “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”‎ ‎ “Nobody. I do it.”‎ ‎ “Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎ “Sure.”‎ ‎ “Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”‎ ‎25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?‎ A. make the lessons more exciting B. know more about the students ‎ C. raise the students’ interest in art D. teach the students about toy design ‎26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone. ‎ C. He was imaginative. D. He was active in class. ‎ ‎27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Drawback. B. Mistake. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.‎ ‎28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?‎ A. To help them to improve their memory. B. To find out about their sleeping habits. ‎ C. To help them to see their creativity. D. To find out about their ways of thinking.‎ C Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.‎ Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.‎ ‎ Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines both.”‎ ‎ Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.‎ ‎ People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the Book Crossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.‎ ‎ Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.‎ ‎29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ A. To introduce Book Crossing.‎ B. To explain what they are. ‎ C. To stress the importance of reading. ‎ D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?‎ A. An adventure. B. The book. ‎ C.A public place. D. The identification number.‎ 31. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it?‎ A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase. ‎ C. Mail it back to its owner. D. Pass it on to another reader. ‎ ‎32. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. A Website Links People through Books ‎ C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. Electronic Books: A new Trend ‎ ‎ D I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips—of those , 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time. ‎ I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the ‎ stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:“Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.‎ For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?‎ A. Provider B. collector C. delivery man D. medical doctor ‎34.Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42hours? A. He cannot stay away from his job too long. B. The donor can only wait for that long. C. The ice won’t last any longer.‎ D. The operation needs that much time.‎ 35. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first? A. To London. B. To Providence.‎ C. To  Newark. D. To Washington.‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节：七选五（共5 个小题，每小题2分，满分 10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Secret codes (密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.‎ ‎ People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.‎ ‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” ‎ ‎38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “135 520 135.”‎ ‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.‎ A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.‎ B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.‎ C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.‎ D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.‎ E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.‎ F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.‎ G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ ‎   A Heroic Driver ‎ Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.
