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. BookCrossing 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 BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing 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 BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.‎ BookCrossing 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.‎ ‎21. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ ‎  A. To explain what they are. ‎ B. To introduce BookCrossing.‎ C. To stress the importance of reading.   ‎ D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.‎ ‎22. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?‎ ‎  A. The book.  ‎ B. An adventure.  ‎ C.A public place.   ‎ D. The identification number.‎ ‎23. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?‎ ‎   A. Meet other readers to discuss it.  ‎ B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.  ‎ C. Pass it on to another reader.   ‎ D. Mail it back to its owner.‎ ‎24. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎   A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour  ‎ B. Electronic Books: A new Trend  ‎ C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back   ‎ D. A Website Links People through Books B The Price of a Dream I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. ‎ By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction（信念）.‎ One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. ‎ Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading（害怕）this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”‎ When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.‎ I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.‎ ‎“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.‎ ‎“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.‎ ‎“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”‎ That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.‎ ‎25. The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis ______. ‎ A. made him set a goal      ‎ B. supplied him with new clothes C. gave him financial support       ‎ D. helped him show conviction ‎26. When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to ______.‎ ‎    A. balance summer baseball and the work schedule ‎    B. refuse the job offer for summer baseball ‎    C. give up summer baseball for the job ‎    D. ask his coach Jarvis for advice ‎27. Which of the following can replace “If  you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”?‎ ‎    A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.‎ ‎    B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.‎ ‎    C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.‎ ‎    D. A good beginning makes a good ending.‎ ‎28. The end of the story was that the writer ______.‎ A. failed to buy his mother a house     ‎ B. succeeded as a sportsman C. became a successful businessman   ‎ D. made some money in the summer job ‎ C Can you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd 1ike to do. So I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!‎ The University of Reading, in England, has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties. They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown. Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30％of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases. Now we don’t want that, do we?‎ Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.‎ The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985, after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London. And it has improved its facilities. The leader of the institution’s cocoa project, Professor Paul Hadley, says, “One of the ‎ main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean, healthy, interesting cocoa material.”‎ The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions. After up to two years in quarantine, clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries, including several in West Africa. That’s where 75％of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from. The crop is extremely important for the local economy: it employs about two million people.‎ Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection. And more of us seem to count on them now.‎ The scientist says, “There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly, particularly in countries like China, where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”‎ ‎29. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Safeguarding cocoa seeds. ‎ B. Planting cocoa worldwide.‎ C. Keeping cocoa in greenhouse. ‎ D. Finding the new market for cocoa.‎ ‎30. The institution’s cocoa project is to_______.‎ A. have cocoa skin removed ‎ B. offer more jobs to people C. ensure the quality of cocoa ‎ D. supply cocoa for two million people ‎31. What does the last paragraph tell us?‎ A. The taste of chocolates is changing.‎ B. Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.‎ C. People are concerned about cocoa varieties.‎ D. Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.‎ ‎32. What’s the purpose of the text?‎ A. To educate. B. To advertise. ‎ C. To warn. D. To inform.‎ D For decades, the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technology   industry. Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called  Silicon Valley. But the area has not always been associated with charity(慈善).‎ Now, a new generation of entrepreneurs(企业家)appears to be changing Silicon Valley. One example is Marc Benioff, a donor(捐赠者), who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities. He also is the founder of Salesforce. com, a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children’s hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.‎ Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity. Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America. His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications. He says, traditionally, donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth. Usually donors are in their 70s. But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age. Benjamin Soskis says that is something new. “There’s a whole new model that’s appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.”‎ Some of the young donors on this year's top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity. That is especially the case in the San Francisco area, where giving money and making money appear to be coming together. “I think it's fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity.”‎ ‎33. What is TRUE of Marc Benioff?‎ A. He joined a non-profit organization.     ‎ B. He advised donors to build hospitals.‎ C. He made San Francisco a city of charity. ‎ D. He set up the company of Salesforce. com.‎ ‎34. What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley?‎ A. They prefer to give rather than make money. ‎ B. They give after accumulating a lot of wealth.‎ C. They are much younger than the usual donors. ‎ D. They donate more money to their communities.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. The age of charity     ‎ B. The changing faces of charity C. In search of new faces  ‎ D. From computer base to charity centre 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A strong memory depends on the health and vitality(活力) of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 36 ‎ Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 37  ‎ Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss. ‎ Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38  ‎ Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss. ‎ Have a laugh. 39 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages ‎ multiple regions across the whole brain.‎ ‎__40__ Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat. ‎ A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.‎ B. Play games with memory.  ‎ C. Laughter is the best medicine. ‎ D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain. ‎ E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!‎ F. You have to shake things up from time to time!‎ G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.‎ 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Today I am known for my voice.
