Well, I suggest you try the beautiful and green Isle of Wight (IOW). The Isle of Wight is one of the main tourist attractions. Here is some information on a few of the attractions on the IOW.‎ Dinosaur Isle It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It’s a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs that lived 120 million years ago.‎ Robin‎ Hill Country ‎Park The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children’s parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.‎ The West of the Wight Here we have the Marine Aquarium, the Archaeology Exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine fun with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.‎ The ‎Wight‎ Bus ‎Museum This museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse（仓库）. Most of the buses in the museum date back to around the 1910’s.‎ With all of these choices, what are you waiting for? IOW Tourism welcomes you!‎ ‎21. In Robin Hill Country Park, children can NOT ______.‎ ‎ A. have parties. B. buy gifts. C. play games. D. take pictures.‎ ‎22. It can be learned from the passage that ______.‎ ‎ A. those running the Wight‎ Bus ‎Museum work for free ‎ B. on Dinosaur Isle we can learn about all kinds of animals ‎ C. there are five new gardens on Dinosaur Isle ‎ D. visitors can drive buses in the ‎Wight‎ Bus ‎Museum ‎23. The purpose of this passage is to ______. ‎ ‎ A. show the development of tourism on the IOW ‎ ‎ B. tell readers what is worth visiting ‎ C. attract readers to come to the IOW ‎ ‎ D. advise readers how to relax on holidays ‎24. You can read this article in a ______.‎ ‎ A. travel magazine B. science journal ‎ C. book review D. film advertisement B Few of us make money by losing sleep．But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation （睡眠不足）．‎ ‎ Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown's business and engineering schools．They began thinking about ways to sleep better．They discovered they weren't alone in burning the midnight oil．Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night．‎ ‎ The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative （有回复作用的） stages of the sleep cycle: REM （rapid eye movement） and deep sleep．What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, $14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists．‎ ‎ Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009．The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors （传感器） that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states- REM, light, deep and waking sleep．The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you're not in REM sleep （which is when you're least groggy）．In the morning you can upload the data to the company's Web site, and so track your sleep over time．Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo's ZQ score showing how well you've slept．‎ ‎ "Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep," says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO．‎ ‎ Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm．‎ ‎ For now the company is selling Zeo online only．Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels．‎ ‎25．Who will support Zeo?‎ ‎ A．People full of imagination． B．People suffering sleeping problems．‎ ‎ C．People having access to the Internet． D．People having bad lifestyles．‎ ‎26．Why did the three graduate students imagine a smart alarm clock?‎ ‎ A．To wake them up on time in the morning．‎ ‎ B．To earn enough money for their study．‎ ‎ C．To improve the quality of people's sleep．‎ ‎ D．To enjoy their life while working at night．‎ ‎27．To design the Zeo device, the three graduate students ____．‎ ‎ A．spent much time and money B．were widely supported by scientists ‎ C．worked by themselves all the time D．attracted many investors ‎28．What can we know from the passage?‎ ‎ A．Zeo has a direct effect on users' lifestyles．‎ ‎ B．It needs more personal efforts to make Zeo function better．‎ ‎ C．A large quantity of Zeo devices have been sold in Australia．‎ ‎ D．Consumers can go to the Zeo company to purchase Zeo in person．‎ C ‎ Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford‎ ‎University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.‎ When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.‎ The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.‎ So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.‎ Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.‎ ‎29．The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.‎ A．by raising his own examples.‎ B．based on his own experience.‎ C．by mentioning some typical patients.‎ D．by mentioning some studies.‎ ‎30．The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.‎ A．tell us that anger is more obvious and may be more dangerous in the real world.‎ B．let the reader know the different colors of cartoon faces.‎ C．support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental health.‎ D．show how to control one’s temper.‎ ‎31．The underlined phrase “holding on to” in this passage possibly means “______”.‎ A． removing. B．keeping up.‎ C．getting rid of. D．learning about.‎ ‎32．The best title for this passage is probably ______.‎ A．Anger Is Bad for Health.‎ B．Forgiveness Is Never Easy.‎ C．A Secret to Keeping Healthy D．Forgiveness Is Good for Health.‎ D No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock 'n' roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.‎ ‎ "Technically, I think what they're proposing is possible," physicist Daniel Bonn said.‎ People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there's no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.‎ The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.‎ Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.‎ However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, "I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, 'Why don't they just try rolling the things?'" A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone "a lot easier to roll than a square".‎ ‎ So he tried it.‎ ‎ He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.‎ ‎ They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery path.‎ ‎ West hasn't tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn't have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.‎ ‎33. It's widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ________.‎ A. rolling them on roads B. pushing them over the sand C. sliding them on smooth paths D. dragging them on some poles ‎34.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?‎ A. Because more force is needed for sliding.‎ B. Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.‎ C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.‎ D. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.‎ ‎35.What is the text mainly about?‎ A. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.‎ B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.‎ C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.‎ D. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.‎ 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。‎ While social media can be useful in connecting you to family, friends and colleagues, there can be negative effects. But you can avoid the negative effects by following these words of advice.‎ Spend a limited amount of time on social media.‎ It is wise to disconnect from social media now and then. If you feel you’re addicted to social media, set a daily time limit for yourself.36._____.‎ Protect your privacy.‎ There are many ways to protect your privacy. One way is to create different friend lists, such as Family, Friends and Colleagues. Then you can send posts to just the people in one or more particular lists. In addition, before you post, think about your writing, photos, comments and other content since anything you share, even within closed groups, is public on social media.37.______.‎ Live your real life.‎ Some people are so attached to social media that they spend much of their time during events taking pictures and posting.38._____ So it’s better to experience the event fully and then share your posts and photos later after the event is over.‎ ‎39.______‎ People are looking for different things when they go onto social media sites: acknowledgement, attention, approval, appreciation, etc. Identify which of these you’re looking for and think about whether you can get it satisfied in a more constructive way than going online.‎ Remember, you’re the boss of being on social media. 40.______. Rather, you and only you determine how much time you spend on it.‎ A. It doesn’t give orders to you.‎ B. Provide yourself with satisfaction.‎ C. Understand what you need from social media.‎ D. Turn off your computer and do things in the real world.‎ E. What you post can be shared around the world in a short time.‎ F. Many people spend hours a day posting, reading posts, and watching videos.‎ G. They don’t allow themselves to be in the moment and actually enjoy the event.‎ 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。‎ My uncle was a quiet, cheerful man.

Opinions are divided on this topic.‎ Most students are in favor of this activity. They believe that the activity in winter can not only help improve physical health but develop a strong will. Besides, it's a good way to relieve stress. On the other hand, a minority of the students are opposed to it. They think the activity is too dull. In addition, there is so much heavy study and it's so cold outside that they would rather stay in the classroom to study.‎ As far as I'm concerned, I support the activity because it benefits us greatly. The modern society requires many qualities of us, so bookworms can't keep up with the times any longer.‎
