When you buy a hearing aid, be sure to choose a pair that every bit of it is as good as one that sells for $2500 or more. Although great progress has been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions or falls in prices have not passed on to you—Until Now. The MDHearingAid PRO has been carefully tested by leading ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) physicians and audiologists (听力学家) who have totally agreed that the sound quality and output in many cases is better than more expensive hearing aids. Since Medicare and most private insurance do not cover hearing aids, ENT surgeon Dr. Cherukuri designed a game—changing solution without sacrificing the quality of components that you can actually afford. “I recommend them to my patients with hearing loss.” — Amy S.Audiologist Indiana “I have had this aid two days and all I can say is WOW!” — Terrsa H.,Grove,NJ “It is so much better than the $3000 hearing aid I had been using for years.” — Robert C. South Bend The fact is, you don’t need to pay high prices for a medical-grade FDA registered hearing aid, MDHearingAid PRO is a high performance hearing aid that works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can conveniently access a hearing specialist online or by phone—even after the sale. No other company provides such extensive support. Over 75000 satisfied customers agree.

What is special about the advertised Hearing Aid? A. It is cheaper compared with other hearing aids. B. It has been tested by physicians and audiologists. C. It is helpful for the people who have hearing problems. D. It is of the best quality and the most advanced technology. 57. This advertisement is made more believable by _______. A. providing real data B. using recommendations C. offering reasons for the invention D. showing the results of the experiments B On January 15, 2009, the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 experienced a never-in-a-lifetime event. Less than two minutes after takeoff, some birds found their way into the airplane’s two engines and brought them to a sudden stop. Over the next three and a half minutes, the crew managed to identify the problem, decide what to do about it, and make the most successful emergency landing in aviation (航空) history. We all experience similar moments. Running into the person you canceled a date with – while you’re on another date. Realizing you hit “reply all” on an e-mail that you’d do anything to have back. Earthquakes, medical emergencies – whatever the situation, the first thing you probably do is panic. Everybody does. While many of us think that we’re cool in a crisis, science tells us that we seldom are. At the moment we need to be keenly aware of our surroundings, but our attention goes to the scariest thing on the scene, leaving us unaware of the other sights, sounds, and even smells around us. At the moment, we’re anything but at our best. These normal human reactions can be reversed. For example, firefighters are taught how to bring down their blood pressure and heart rates quickly, Box breathing, belly breathing, hum breathing – you can learn these techniques in minutes. Once you calm down, you’ll identify accurately what the problem is really about. Lack of practice always causes us to judge problems in wrong ways. Doing the thinking ahead of time also helps you fire off the solution when it’s show time. This is why you are advised to find the closest exit before the flight. And sometimes we aren’t prepared with all the knowledge we need. Let’s say we’re on a hike and a bear shows up. What shall we do? Better to read suggestions on how to respond before heading into the wild. Performing in a crisis is becoming more important for all of us for two reasons. Back in the good old days, the reliability of most anything we used or did was far less than it is today. Now think about what happens to our preparedness as the likelihood of something bad happening reduces. Unless we practice what hardly ever happens, our ability to respond when it does happen tends to slip away. Reliability can kill you. Also, the systems we use today are more complex. There are seldom moving parts in plain view that allow us to see when things are about to go wrong. Consequently, terrible situations can “come out of nowhere”. Ironically, the systems that were designed to lessen our workload might require us to remain in a state of increased vigilance(警觉) in order to survive these increasingly infrequent events when they do happen. As technology becomes part of most everything, and as once-large risks break into countless small ones, crisis situations may become standard affairs. We should all learn to breathe, recognize the situation, and carry out the plan that we are smart enough to prepare well in advance. 58. According to the passage, when an armed robbery (抢劫) happens, most witnesses will first ______. A. observe the surroundings B. pretend to be calm C. decide what to do D. focus on the gun 59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ______. A. things are less dependable than they used to be B. cautiousness helps prevent the occurrence of crisis C. convenience reduces our problem-solving capability D. the complexity of present systems ensures our safety 60. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce ways of avoiding crisis situations. B. To point out the connection between stress and risks. C. To raise awareness of the preparation for emergencies. D. To analyse the influence of technology on crisis management. C Why Mars is New Settlement Is it possible to live on other planets? The United States government is taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon are too extreme and unnecessary. One major reason the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and all other life from a continuous attack of radiation (辐射) caused by sources such as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to human beings. Although Mars’ atmosphere is significantly thinner than Earth’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans. Another important characteristic necessary for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also sufficient evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon. Future settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example, hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen (氮气) to form new materials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages, Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive. Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains resources necessary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind of long-term human settlement. The settlement on Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent chance for mankind to improve itself from past adventures on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer. 61. According to Paragraph 2, the atmosphere on Mars would . A. change the DNA structure of humans B. measure the harmful radiation from space C. provide protection against dangerous effects D. cause humans to be exposed to serious illnesses 62. What can be inferred about water on Mars? A. It is not present in a liquid state. B. It doesn’t exist in large quantities. C. It will bring potential dangers to settlers. D. It can be easily changed into liquid forms. 63. The author believes that . A. exploration of Mars takes great risk B. natural resources on Mars last forever C. settlement on Mars is perfectly acceptable D. Mars is more suitable for settlement than Earth 64. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. D If spending is a measure of what matters, then the people of the developing world place a high value on brains. While private spending on education has not changed much in the rich world in the past ten years, in China and India it has more than doubled. Since brainpower is the primary generator of progress, this burst of enthusiasm for investing in private education is excellent news for the world. But not everybody is delighted. Because private education increases inequality, some governments are trying to stop its advance. That’s wrong: they should welcome it and spread its benefits more widely. ① Education used to be provided by religious institutions or entrepreneurs. But when governments, starting in Prussia in the 18th century, got into the business of nation-building, they realized they could use education to shape young minds. As state systems grew, private schooling was left to the elite and the pious(虔诚的). Now it is enjoying popularity again, for several reasons. Incomes are rising, especially among the better off, at the same time as birth rates are falling. In China the former one-child policy means that six people—two parents and four grandparents—can pour money into educating a single child. ② All over the developing world, people want more or better education than governments provide. Where cities are growing at unmanageable speed, the private education is taking up the slack. In India the private education now educates nearly half of all children, in Pakistan more than a third, and in both countries the state education is shrinking. Even where the state does pretty well, as in East Asia, richer people still want better schooling for their children than the masses get. Thus Vietnam, which has an outstanding state-school system for a poor country, measured by its performances in the OECD’s PISA test, also has the fastest-growing private education. ③ In most ways, this is an excellent thing, because the world is getting more and better schooling. In rich countries, once the background and ability of the children who attend private schools are taken into account, their exam results are about the same as those in the state education. But in developing countries private schools are better—and much more efficient. A study of eight Indian states found that, in terms of learning outcomes per rupee, private schools were between 1.5 times and 29 times more cost-effective than state schools. ④ They tend to sort children by income, herding richer ones towards better schools that will enhance their already superior life chances. That is one reason why many governments are troubled by their rise. Governments are right to worry about private education’s contribution to inequality, but they are wrong to discourage its growth. Governments should instead focus on improving the public education by mimicking (模仿) the private education’s virtues. Freedom from independent management is at the root of its superior performance and greater efficiency. Governments should therefore do their best to give school principals more freedom to innovate and to fire underperforming teachers. To spread the benefits of private schools more widely, governments should work with them, paying for education through vouchers (代金券) which children can spend in private schools. And vouchers should be limited to students in non-selective schools that do not charge top-up fees; otherwise governments will find themselves helping the better off and increasing inequality. The world faces plenty of problems. Governments should stop behaving as though private education were one of them. It will, rather, increase the chances of finding solutions. 65. What do we know about private education? A. More developed countries enjoy it. B. It attracts more and more investment. C. Public education will replace it in the future. D. It has helped governments to remove inequality. 66. What does the underlined phrase “taking up the slack” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Avoiding the risk B. Setting the pace. C. Breaking the balance. D. Filling the gap. 67. Why has private education been developing rapidly in Vietnam? A. The population in Vietnam is shrinking dramatically. B. Its state education is worse than other developing countries. C. The government intends private education to shape young minds. D. Some people want better education for their children than others. 68. The sentence “But private schools also increase inequality.” can be put in . A. ④ B. ③ C. ② D. ① 69. What does the author advise governments to do? A. Train school principals. B. Learn from private education. C. Sell vouchers to children. D. Fire underperforming teachers. 70. What’s the author’s opinion about private education? A. Private education should be based on state education. B. Private education should be targeted at well-off families. C. Governments should prevent the spread of private education. D. Governments should celebrate the popularity of private education 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题,共35分) 第四部分:任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 Chronic disorganization (慢性失序症) occurs when one is habitually disorganized over a long period, which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business. One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isn’t actually a disease or even an “official” disorder. It’s the continued lack of organization in one’s life. Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control. This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand. Yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situations. One’s personal attitude can often be a key factor explaining why the chronic disorganization exists. Once the attitude of acceptance about being a “slob” is in someone’s head, it’s hard to remove. If someone tells himself that he is a slob, he will likely live up to that self-image created by him or by those around him. More often than not, a person is conscious of the disorder of chronic disorganization only when it starts to negatively affect relationships with his friends and family members. Everybody may become affected by this situation, especially those sharing living places together. The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization(HSGCD) recommends that one get help through a professional organization. The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions. There were various reasons given for this problem of decision-making. Among them were fears and prioritizing issues. Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decision-making and chronic disorganization. Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization something most people experience at some point. A person who has lost someone significant to him such as a spouse may start to be troubled by disorganization. Someone who has experienced changes in life and in his career tends to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside. However, one doesn’t instantly have chronic disorganization. “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That’s an old saying that’s true about one’s struggles with chronic disorganization. Every person has the power to change within himself. It’s a matter of staying organized, one day at a time. Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day. (71) It means that the person has a(n) (72) of being disorganized in life and business over a long period. Recognizing the problem ·One example is that an addict is (73) to organize the collection. ·The existence of chronic disorganization is greatly (74) by one’s personal attitude. ·One is (75) of the disorder of chronic disorganization until it has negative effects on the relationships with his friends and family members. The (76) of the study All subjects in the study (77) from the problem of poor decision-making, which is associated with chronic disorganization. Warning (78) People losing someone significant, experiencing a divorce or changes in one’s life and career (79) to ignore organization and order . Good news When in struggle with chronic disorganization, every person has the power to change by remaining (80) for one single day at a time. 第五部分:书面表达 (满分25分) 81. 请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150 词左右的文章。 Su Hua After entering the senior high, I found I had more and more difficulty learning maths and English. As many online learning products are quite popular among other students, my parents subscribed to one for me too. After that, however, I feel as if I were going to two schools, one real-world school and one online school. Every day I have endless exercises to do and feel very tired. Worse still, I feel I have lost interest in my study now. What shall I do? Li Jiang When I was in the primary school, I often met with problems which I could not work out on my own, especially in English and arithmetic. So I downloaded an online educational app named Zuoyebang. Since then, I have been using several kinds of such software, for example, Xuebajun and Haofenshu. Whenever I have a problem, I will turn to them. As a result, my study has been progressing steadily. I will strongly recommend these apps to my friends. 【写作内容】 1. 用约 30 个词概括上述利用在线教育app学习的现象; 2. 你是支持还是反对利用在线教育app学习?请谈谈你的看法,并用2 - 3个理由或论据支撑你的看法。 【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句; 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称; 3. 不必写标题。 参考答案 第一部分:听力理解 (共两节,满分29分): 1-5 CCBCC 6-10 BACBB 11-15 ABBAB 16-20 CCACB 第二部分: 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分 35 分) 第一节: 单项填空(共15 分) 21-25 BBCAD 26-30 DCCAA 31-35 DBBCB 第二节完型填空(共20 分) 36-40 BADBC 41-45ADACD 46-50 BCDAB 51-55 CBCDA 第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 56-57 AB 59-60 DCC 61-64 CACB 65-70 BDDABD 第四部分::任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 71.

Many students have adopted them as efficient learning tools, which may also have negative effects on other students. In my opinion, online learning apps are an inseparable part of a student’s life and should be welcomed. After all they are of great help to our study. For example, when I meet with a problem I can’t work out after a few attempts, I will turn to my tutors there. A simple click of the button will bring me the answers, often with detailed analysis and different solutions. Besides, by participating in activities such as talent shows on such websites, I have enjoyed myself and gained confidence. Of course, it is unwise to rely wholly on such online learning apps. However, they can serve as good helpers to us if we learn to employ their advantages and avoid the disadvantages.查看更多
