Did ‎ you 36 it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever 37 what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) 38 if you had paid more attention to it?‎ Imagine a scene, 39 you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is 40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought 41 your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to 42 it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the 43 you have so mush wished for.‎ As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has 44 escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has 45 the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the 46 piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.‎ Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become ‎ ‎48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted 52 have a potential to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.‎ Don't waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.‎ That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.‎ ‎（ ）36. A. hate B. ignore C. like D. value ‎（ ）37. A. discovered B. remembered C. complained D. considered ‎（ ）38. A. or B. but C. and D. nor ‎（ ）39. A. when B. where C. what ‎ D. while ‎（ ）40.

PSY made the announcement on his Twitter page earlier today.‎ Since its release, the song has defeated such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On the Floor,’ Eminem's ‘Love the Way You Lie’ and LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem.’ And in September, 'Gangnam Style' also became the most liked video on YouTube, now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up.‎ At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: “In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY, your certificate is waiting here at our office, come pick it up any time!”‎ Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot (try) at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.‎ If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, ‘Gangnam Style’ would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.‎ The YouTube honors are just the latest in a long list that shows just how popular the song has become. Since it was ‎ released in July, the song has seen a meteoric rise through the music industry.‎ It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody（恶搞）videos.‎ It became a staple (主要部份) in the 2012 presidential elections with the now famous ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader.‎ Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.‎ ‎（ ）56. This passage mainly talks about a world famous________.‎ A. music chart B. music video C. video website C. Korean pop singer ‎（ ）57. Which of the following about “Gangnam Style” is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. “Gangnam Style” has defeated Justin Bieber’s “Baby” on You Tube’s views.‎ B. “Gangnam Style” has been the favorite to about 5.4 million people.‎ C. “Gangnam Style” has been the first to get more than 1 billion views.‎ D. “Gangnam Style” has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.‎ ‎（ ）58. What can we infer from this passage?‎ A. PSY will become one of the greatest musicians due to the popularity of “Gangnam Style”.‎ B. Obama won the presidential election partly because of the ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video.‎ C. Despite its massive popularity, the fever of “Gangnam Style” has decreased.‎ D. The influence of “Gangnam Style” has spread far and wide.‎ B With the average temperature for January standing at -50℃, it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71.2℃.‎ This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.‎ Ironically, Oymyakon actually means 'non-freezing water' due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn ‎ coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.‎ Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman.‎ Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition is that their animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients.‎ Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries— where a flurry of snow brings things grinding to a halt, Oymyakon's solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52℃.‎ There are few modern conveniences in the village— with many buildings still having outdoor toilets - and most people still burn coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveries are irregular the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town shuts down in about five hours, and the pipes freeze and crack.‎ Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.‎ Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions.‎ Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything up to three days. The earth must first have melted sufficiently in order to dig it, so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours. Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug. The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.‎ Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.‎ ‎（ ）59. Which of the following statements about this village is true?‎ A. Local children don’t go to school because of the extreme cold.‎ B. People there live a hard and simple life with few modern conveniences.‎ C. People there have a healthy and balanced diets by eating vegetables and meat.‎ D. The name of this village— Oymyakon suggests that it’s extremely cold here.‎ ‎（ ）60. The sentence “If you thought it was cold where you ‎ are at the moment then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.” can be put .‎ A. before the first paragraph B. after the first paragraph C. after the sixth paragraph D. before the last paragraph ‎（ ）61. What does the underlined phrase “grinding to a halt” probably mean in this passage?‎ A. stopping B. growing C. continuing D. failing ‎（ ）62. What is the purpose of writing this passage?‎ A. To attract more people to visit this village.‎ B. To inform readers of this special village.‎ C. To help solve problems facing the village.‎ D. To draw readers’ attention to poor people.‎ C Many countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three-point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car’s ‎ airbags that will inflate（使充气）during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.‎ Seat belts have existed in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three-point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920’s they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.‎ Dr. C. Hunter Shelden made a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5, 1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable(伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three-point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.‎ In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front-seat ‎ passenger. Today many countries have also mandated(授权) the use of five-point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.‎ An airbag is a Supplemental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.‎ The inflation of airbag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver’s airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre-inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.‎ An essential part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many ‎ wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.‎ ‎（ ）63. This article mostly deals with .‎ A. how to drive safely on the road ‎ B. different forms of seat belts C. the history of seat belt development ‎ D. the importance of seat belt use ‎（ ）64. We can learn from this article that _____.‎ A. to reduce your risk of death or serious injury by 70%, you must wear a five-point seat belt while you are driving B. American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles because they had seen many injuries caused by car accidents C. if two or more collisions occur during a serious car accident, your airbags can help reduce the risk of death by 70%‎ D. the U.S. was the first country to require by law that car drivers and front-seat passengers wear their seat belts ‎（ ）65. The author treats the subject of this article with .‎ A. good humor B. admiration C. seriousness D. disapproval ‎（ ）66. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Seat belts were first used in airplanes and then applied to vehicles.‎ B. Airbags, door locks, and seat belts were all designed at the same time.‎ C. The lap belt is more modern than the 3-point safety belt.‎ D. Buying the latest seat belts is an essential driving skill.‎ D KING LEAR Part 3‎ NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully. When Lear wants to speak to her, Goneril tells her servant, Oswald, to say she is sick. She encourages her staff to be disrespectful towards Lear and begins complaining about the hundred soldiers Lear has brought with him. However, King Lear soon has a friend by his side. The Duke of Kent, who Lear ordered to leave Britain, cannot abandon his king. He therefore comes to Lear disguised as a servant called Caius and asks for a job.‎ ‎(Enter Lear, several of Lear's soldiers and Kent disguised as a servant.)‎ LEAR: OK, Caius. I'll give you a trial. And if you prove to be good at your job, I'll keep you on as my servant.‎ ‎ (Oswald enters.) Hey, you there. Where's my daughter? (Oswald ignores the king and hurries out of the room.) Hey. What's going on? Call him back. Is he deaf? (A Soldier rushes out after Oswald.) It's as though the whole world has gone to sleep. (Soldier reenters.) Where's that servant? Why didn’t he come back when I called?‎ SOLDIER: Sir, he answered me very rudely and said he would not come back.‎ LEAR: I don’t believe it!‎ SOLDIER: Sir, I am sorry, to tell you this, but it seems to me that you are not being treated with the respect due to a king. Everyone here, including your daughter, is behaving very coldly towards you.‎ LEAR: Mmm. I suspected the same, but I kept telling myself it was my imagination. Please tell my daughter I wish to speak with her. (Soldier bows and leaves. Oswald enters.) Ah, come here my man and answer me. Who am I?‎ OSWALD: My lady's father.‎ LEAR: Your lady's father? Is that all I am to you, you dog, you slave! (Lear raises his arm as though to strike Oswald.)‎ OSWALD: I'll not be hit, my Lord.‎ KENT: (Kent kicks Oswald's feet out from under him.) And you won't be laid flat on your back either, I suppose. Now get up and get out of here. (Oswald leaves.)‎ LEAR: My thanks, Caius. I can see you will be a most valuable servant.‎ ‎(Enter Goneril.) What's up, daughter? You always seem to be frowning lately.‎ GONERIL: Is it any wonder that I frown when your soldiers are continually drinking and fighting? I thought when I told you about their behaviour you would make them behave, but now I hear you have insulted Oswald. I do believe you are encouraging your soldiers in their bad behaviour.‎ LEAR: Is this my daughter scolding me?‎ GONERIL: I have had enough of your soldiers. They are expensive to keep and you don't need them. Besides, their drunken behaviour and bad manners are disgusting. You will send half of them away. And unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them too, I suggest you teach them how to behave properly.‎ LEAR: That's a lie. My soldiers are good men who know how to behave properly. I won't stay here to be insulted. I still have one more daughter. She'll scratch out your eyes when she hears how you've treated me. Men! Get my horses ready and ‎ collect my baggage. I'll leave immediately. I won't stay where I'm not welcome. (Lear and companions leave.)‎ NARRATOR: Lear sends Kent on ahead to the castle of his other daughter, Regan, to tell her that he will soon be arriving. Goneril sends her servant Oswald to Regan to tell her side of the story.‎ ‎（ ）67. Who does the underlined “him” probably refer to?‎ A. Kent. B. Oswald. C. Lear. D. Soldier.‎ ‎（ ）68. Why did the Duke of Kent disguise himself as a servant?‎ A. To find a chance to meet Goneril. ‎ B. To share some of the king’s wealth.‎ C. To find a job in the court. ‎ D.

Which of the following best describe the character of King Lear in this passage?‎ A. A wise king and father. ‎ B. A cold-hearted father.‎ C. A cruel and selfish king. ‎ D. A stupid and a bit stubborn man.‎ 第四部分：任务型阅读 Made In The USA: An Export Boom In his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the U．S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to double U．S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”‎ Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U．S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.‎ Competitive In A Global Market Marlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world.“We export to 36 countries，” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz.“We're working around the clock, and we're growing.”‎ It's not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up ‎ as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.‎ Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the world are trying the beer from the Maryland－based brewery. Caruso says，“Even in those top beer－producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”‎ Services Are Exports, Too Another place exports are coming from is New York City—in particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper on 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. That's where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesn't actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.‎ ‎“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry，” the nation's top trade official, Ron Kirk says, “Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.‎ And There Are Other Factors So why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says ‎ Tyler Cowen, an economist.“A lot of it is being driven by smart machines，” he tells Raz，“The U．S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn't matter.”‎ China factors a lot in America's export economy, too.“Wages in China have been going up as the country becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.‎ Will Jobs Grow, too?‎ ‎“Companies have become more productive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.”Cowen says.“So I don't view exporting as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”‎ So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the U．S., and Cowen says that could ultimately lead to a polarization(两极) of economic outcomes.‎ Made In the USA: An Export Boom Outline Details The purpose of increasing ‎*To help America make a (71)______ from the economic recession ‎*To help raise the nation's (72)______ rate ‎ exports The current situation ‎*American exports have risen (73)______ thirty－four percent up to now ‎*There has been an increase in exports in everything ‎*The export boom does not necessarily (74)______ every business or worker ‎(75)______ contributing to the export boom ‎(76)______products Even in those top beer－producing countries, people try craft beer from Flying Dog, a brewery (77)______ in Maryland Various products A variety of products are provided around the world，services (78)______ for 25%‎ Lower costs ‎*(79)______ take the place of labor, helping companies reduce wages ‎*China, who used to take (80)______ of cheap labor, has given way to America in exports to some extent because of its increasing production 第五部分：书面表达（25分）‎ 照片反映的是中学生暑期游览大学校园的情景。作为一名高三学生，请根据下表提示，就目前普遍存在的中学生暑期游览名牌大学的现象用英语给校报“英语角”写一篇短文。‎ 注意：1．短文须包括所有要点，可适度发挥，使行文连贯。‎ ‎2．词数150左右，开头已经给出，但不计入总词数。‎ ‎3．不得提及本人姓名和所在学校。‎ Visiting famous universities during summer holidays is gaining popularity among high school students．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考答案 单选：DCABA AABAD DDBDD 完型：BDABC CDABC ADACB DABCD 阅读：BCD BAAB DBCA CDAD 任阅：71. recovery　 72. employment　 73. by　 74. benefit　 75.

But it has both good effects and bad effects .‎ Obviously, it is beneficial for us high school students. Firstly, it is a good way to relax ourselves, which is good for us both physically and mentally. Secondly, by visiting those famous universities we can get to know more about them and can experience the academic atmosphere there. Moreover, these visits can inspire us to set higher goals and arouse our enthusiasm to work harder at our study.‎ However, the visits may have negative impacts on the universities .Too many visitors in campus can disturb the normal school life there ,which is a great pressure for the universities concerned. Furthermore, it may cause safety problems as well.‎ In my opinion, it's a good practice to visit famous ‎ universities only if we don’t disturb the life there. For one thing, we’re likely to be motivated to study hard through these visits; for another, it’s also a good chance for these famous universities to attract more excellent students.‎
