I thought that a person should reward me for the care I had shown them. But I almost turned into another person because of the kind of society and circle of people I associated with.‎ My little community is full of interesting people. There are those who think they are better than everyone else. Some of them preach (宣扬) peace on the media all day but won’t give you a hug in person. The social media that I consult every day has made me judge people and react awkwardly towards handling situations. This very circle of people almost had me thinking that I had to show off, I had to belong, that I had to change friends, and so on. There were times when I suddenly felt confused or depressed, just because I felt the need to catch up with everything around me.‎ Then there was finally a day that my husband took me out of the problem that I had got myself into. He told me, “Babe, don’t put labels on people and look at someone for what they have or have accomplished; try to look at their inner self”. Then I tried hard to see people in another way and realized that it takes more energy and time to be angry at someone than smiling and feeling at peace with yourself.‎ I now know that I don’t have to rush in accomplishing my goals, because a fast life leads to making mistakes and not paying attention to what is really important. I just need to have an open heart, open enough to accept every type of person and every situation, and learn to take life as it unfolds itself.‎ ‎31.What shows the author’s lack of confidence in the text?‎ A. She wanted to show off so that others would like her.‎ B. She placed a lot of importance on people’s attitude towards her. C. She never got hurt when people didn’t reward her.‎ D. She was changed by society and her friends.‎ ‎32. According to the author, the social media she consults every day .‎ A. helps her to judge people in a different way B. is where people often show off and many things are not real C. forces her to change her friends due to the quick pace of life D. makes her keep up with things she dislikes ‎33. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that .‎ A. people tend to be angry at others more than at peace with them B. you should use more energy if you want to lead a fast life C. completing your goals is not the most important thing D. having an open heart may help people to find their confidence B Vietnam‎ visas are now available upon arrival in Vietnam for citizens of some countries. When one lands in Vietnam by air, there are two kinds of visas that they can opt for. They can either get a traditional visa from the Vietnamese embassy in their country before they leave their home country, or they can choose a Vietnam visa upon arrival. One needs to take the following steps to get this kind of visa. Please note that since this kind of visa is based on an electronic visa system, this service is available only in airports. All other modes of entry into Vietnam require a visa that is acquired before you enter the country.‎ Firstly, travelers require a pre-approval letter that is necessary for the issue of the visa on arrival. These letters are available from any travel agency or partner that is based in Vietnam. Many websites also offer an online form that can be filled in and sent via the web.‎ Secondly, travelers need to print out this letter and keep two passport photos ready with it. The letter is necessary in order to board the flight to Vietnam. At the airport in Vietnam, travelers are generally required to show the airport authorities this pre-approved letter with the photos, and they will be directed to a special counter, which is the “Landing Visa” counter, where they will eventually receive their visa.‎ Thirdly, at the counter, travelers need to pay the stamp fee for the visa. The fee can be paid in US dollars in cash. Make sure that you have enough cash on hand, as payment by credit card is not accepted. The tariff (关税表) differs from time to time, depending on the length of the traveler’s stay in Vietnam.‎ Finally, once the stamp fee is paid, travelers will be given an instant visa by the immigration (移民) officers and the passport will be stamped.‎ ‎34. The underline words, “opt for”, in the first paragraph, mean .‎ A. choose B. book C. decide D. expect ‎35. What will travelers be asked to do when they arrive at the airport in Vietnam?‎ A. Ask the immigration officers for a visa. B. Wait at the “Landing Visa” counter.‎ C. Print out their pre-approved letter.‎ D. Show their pre-approved letter and photos.‎ ‎36. You can pay the stamp fee for the visa .‎ A. by credit card B. in US dollars in cash C.by cheque D. in RMB in cash ‎37. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. How to get a Vietnam visa upon arrival. B. What is needed to get a Vietnam visa.‎ C. Two kinds of Vietnam visas.‎ D. Some tips for travelers to Vietnam.‎ C There are more than 2,000 different kinds of mosquitoes. Female mosquitoes bite people to drink their blood. Male mosquitoes do not drink blood. They drink liquids from plants. The female mosquito uses a thin tube to break the skin, find blood and inject the victim with something that keeps the blood flowing.‎ The female mosquito drinks the blood and uses it to produce as many as 250 eggs. The insect leaves the eggs in any standing water that it can find.‎ The eggs produce larvae ( 幼虫) in two days to a few months. However, some eggs can stay in water for years until conditions are right for development. The larvae live on organisms ( 微生物) in the water. After four to ten days, they change again, into creatures called pupas ( 蛹). The pupas rise to the surface of the water. Adult mosquitoes pull themselves out of the pupas and fly away.‎ The World Health Organization says mosquitoes carry organisms that cause disease and death for millions of people throughout the world every year. The most important disease spread by mosquitoes is malaria ( 疟 疾 ), which caused almost one million deaths in 2006, mostly among children in Africa. The disease is found in more than one hundred countries in Africa, Asia, the western Pacific Ocean, the Middle East and Central and South America.‎ Malaria parasites ( 寄 生 虫 ) enter a person’s blood through a mosquito bite. Then the organisms travel to the liver ( 肝 脏 ). They grow and divide there. After a week or two, the parasites invade the red blood cells and reproduce thousands of times. They cause the person’s body temperature to rise. They also may destroy major organs.‎ Some medicines are generally effective in preventing and treating malaria. They are designed to prevent the parasites from developing in the body. People die from malaria because they are not treated for the disease or the treatment is delayed.‎ ‎38. According to the text, we can infer that .‎ A. female mosquitoes don’t bite animals B. female mosquitoes mainly live in water C. mosquitoes are not the only source of malaria D. people in Europe and north America have a low malaria death rate ‎39. What is the right order for the way that mosquitoes grow?‎ a. Adult mosquitoes pull themselves out of the pupas. b. The larvae change into pupas.‎ c. The insect leaves the eggs in standing water. d. The eggs produce larvae.‎ A. c, a, b, d B. d, c, b, a C. c, d, b, a D. d, b, c, a ‎40. According to the WHO, the organisms carried by mosquitoes .‎ A. are the food for larvae B. lead to the death of millions off people in the world every year C. invade red blood cells first and then destroy major organs D. can enter a person’s nerves through a mosquito bite ‎41. Malaria medicines are generally designed to .‎ A. keep people’s body temperature at a normal level B. prevent parasites from entering people’s skins C. stop parasites from growing inside the body D. stop parasites from invading red blood cells D Two new studies have investigated why fewer females, compared to males, study and work in the so called STEM subjects in the United States. Those subjects are science, technology, engineering and mathematics.‎ The American Association of University Women examined existing research. Its report, called "Why So Few?," The researchers found that cultural and environmental factors make a difference.‎ Researcher Christianne Corbett says more boys than girls score very high on math tests in most countries. She says Iceland and Thailand are exceptions. “In those countries, more girls ‎ than boys actually scored above the ninety-ninth percentile in math. This is something that we point out in our report just says further evidence that cultural factors and societal factors can make a difference in who achieves at the very high levels and if girls are achieving or not."‎ The other study was carried out by the Campos Company for the Bayer Corporation in the United States. It asked more than one thousand women and minority members of the American Chemical Society about their experiences. Seventy-seven percent said not enough women and minorities are working in STEM professions today. This is because they were not identified or urged to study those subjects in school.‎ ‎"I think that what our recent survey showed is there's still a lot of work to be done. We see that you know from everyone, they say their interest in science begins before the age of eleven. So we need programs that really, and from industry's perspective too, get in front of kids while they're young in elementary school."‎ ‎"Increasing diversity in professions leads to better products, better science, just generally. And expanding and developing this science and engineering workforce is critical to the nation's economic innovation and productivity and competitiveness."‎ Rebecca Lucore says scientific professions need more and better workers.‎ ‎"It's just about having scientifically literate citizens. It's really important no matter what career you go into if it's accounting or human resources or science career that you can think critically and creatively, you can work in teams, you can adapt to change and that's important for everybody."‎ ‎42. Which of the following are mentioned in the text as determining factors in the STEM fields?‎ A. Gender and age. B. Culture and environments. C. Study and work experience. D. Family backgrounds.‎ ‎43. By saying “Iceland and Thailand are exceptions”, the researchers mean that in these two countries .‎ A. boys score higher in maths tests than girls B. more girls score high in maths than boys. C. girls are given more attention than boys. D. boys are more creative than girls.‎ ‎44. According to the study carried out by the Campos Company . A. not enough women are working in STEM professions.‎ B. women are encouraged to study STEM subjects at school. C. one’s interest in science begins after the age of eleven.‎ D. creativity is an important part of work.‎ ‎45. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Why women are not suited to science.‎ B. The kinds of work women do in the US. C. Why there are too few women in science. D. Why men do better in science than women.‎ 第二节（共 5 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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两个选项是多余选项.‎ Pop singers, actors and sports stars are not the only ones today’s teenagers seek to emulate ( 效仿). It turns out that the great American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) has a sincere following among many young people.‎ ‎ 46 Many might think of Emily Dickinson as someone locked away from the world. In a way, though, many teens deliberately avoid the company of others in just the same way. 47 ‎ Except ---- it turns out that Emily Dickinson wasn’t quite like this. A new exhibition at the Morgan Library in New York is encouraging a different perspective on the poet. Carolyn Vega, who is in charge of the exhibition, said that while it is true that Dickinson liked to keep herself to herself, she also took a great interest in life beyond the front door of her father’s house in Amherst‎, ‎Massachusetts. 48 She also read many books and was aware of the political realities that were going on around her, including the American Civil War.‎ ‎ 49 Cassandra Atherton, an Australian professor, fell in love with the writer’s work as a teenager. “Emily Dickinson was my poster girl,” she told the BBC. Atherton took it so far as to model her teenage look on the only known photograph of Dickinson. She would arrive at school dressed in white ans her hair tied in a tight bun.‎ The title of the New York exhibition, “I’m nobody! Who are you?”, from one of her poems, tells us a little about Dickinson’s approach to life and writing. 50 And when reading most of the 1,00 poems she wrote, the world seems just like that --- a place we thought we knew, but which Dickinson represents to us in a brand new way.‎ A. She may seem a curious choice for teenage devotion.‎ B. That spring, she took one of her longest and farthest trips away from home.‎ C. Another expert gives us a clue into the appeal of Dickinson’s poems to the young.‎ D. Although she continued to write in her last years, Dickinson stopped editing and organizing her poems.‎ E. She seemed to have thought, “The less I am to myself, the more interesting the world will become.”‎ F. According to Vega, Dickinson was deeply connected to her world through family, friendships and editors.‎ G. Uncertain and a little afraid of the approaching world of adulthood, it seems safer to many to keep to oneself.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 A、B、C 和 D 中，选出可以填入白处的最 佳选项。‎ My one-year old daughter calls a coffee cup “hot” and avoids coffee cups for fear that she may get 51 . It seems that she will avoid coffee until she 52 that the coffee cup can also contain other things that will not 53 her. She must have been burnt a little by touching a coffee cup at one point and learned to 54 them. Before she is able to see the coffee cup for what it is, and not her 55 experience, she will not experience anything positive that can be 56 with a coffee cup.‎ My daughter’s reaction to a coffee cup is not 57 from how many of us react to life 58 negative experiences we’ve had in the past. We make giant generalizations ( 概 括 ) about various things and 59 ‎ living our lives and careers controled by the generalizations we have made. This 60 the number of opportunities we can have and prevents us from living the lives we could potentially live. For example, my 61 was reacting with a huge generalization that all cups are “hot” and need to be avoided. Were she to carry this 62 to its conclusion, she would spend her life never drinking 63 out of a coffee cup again.‎ Since how we deal with our past largely 64 how we see the present, it’s important to make sure our 65 is a proper one for what’s really going on.
