There are four main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city--- trains , buses, taxis and rental cars.‎ TRAINS Trains run from 6 :00 am to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses as you like.‎ BUSES There are several bus services in Singapore and fares start at 80 cents. Be sure always to ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he cannot give change.‎ TAXIS There are three main taxi companies--- City Cab(6552 2222)，Comfort (6552 1111) and Tibs (6552 8888). Booking can also be easy by calling the numbers listed above.‎ RENTAL CARS ‎ Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel at your own pace, renting a car is a good choice. Renting takes away the hassle of getting to places around Singapore. Just sit back and enjoy the city. It also means you'll get to see a lot more that a train or a bus won't let you see. For car rental, call Avis on +65 6737 1668.‎ ‎21. With an EZ-Link card, you can take________.‎ A. both buses and trains B. only trains C. both buses and taxis D. only rental cars ‎22. When you take a bus there, always remember to__________.‎ A. take your own license with you B. ask the driver how much your ticket is C. buy the bus map of Singapore D. book your ticket ahead of time ‎23. What does the underlined word "hassle" in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Trouble. B. Pleasure. C. Scenery. D. Cost.‎ ‎ B There isn't any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive thoughts help you make the cancer go away?‎ There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a cure for cancer, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse.‎ So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude? Of course there is.‎ While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics ( 统计数据). I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive. Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that I'll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can reach out to someone else who's having a difficult time and offer them encouragement.‎ A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as ‎ their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It's difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news. But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial (有益的) to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects of my treatment.‎ So, I prefer to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits，and I try not to panic (惊慌) if I feel any pain.‎ Instead, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can be sure that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live.‎ ‎24. According to the first two paragraphs, we know that ________.‎ A. one's attitude has an influence on cancer B. positive thinking can save patients from cancer C. positive thinking has nothing to do with cancer D. negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse ‎25. After the author found out she had cancer, _______.‎ A. she was sure she would survive B. she tried to enjoy her life and help others C. she refused to go through painful treatment D. she was quite troubled by the seriousness of her illness ‎26. What can be concluded about positive thinking from the author's experiences?‎ A. It makes cancer treatment less painful for patients.‎ B. It makes it much easier for people to accept bad news.‎ C. It prepares family members for what may happen next.‎ D. It helps create a good environment for patients.‎ ‎27. What is the purpose of the author in writing this article?‎ A. To tell patients how to fight against illnesses B. To explain the danger of cancer to readers.‎ C. To stress the importance of a positive attitude.‎ D. To help readers find meaning and happiness in life ‎ C If you really want to go green, here's good news: eating green is good for you. The very foods with a high carbon cost--- red meat, pork, dairy products, processed snacks- -also tend to be filled with fat and calories. A green diet will be most vegetables and fruits, whole grains, fish and lean meat like chicken- a diet that's eco- and waistline friendly. Eating green can be healthier and more beneficial to the climate.‎ It may be hard to believe that a meal at McDonald's produces more carbon than your trip to a faraway place. More than 37% of the world's land is used for agriculture, much of which was once forested. Deforestation (砍伐森林) is a major source of carbon. The fertilizer (肥料) and machinery needed on a modern farm also have a large carbon footprint, and so does the network of ships and trucks that brings the food from the farm to your plate.‎ The most efficient way to reduce the carbon footprint of your menu is to eat less meat, especially beef. Raising cattle takes a lot more energy than growing the equivalent (相等的) amount of grains, fruits or vegetables, which will cause damage to the environment. What’s more, the majority of cattle in the United States are fed on grain and loads of it-- 670million tons in 2002--- and the fertilizer used to feed them creates separate environmental problems.‎ Focus on eating lower on the food chain, with more plants and fruits and less meat and dairy products. It's simple. We can change today what goes into our bodies for the health of our planet and ourselves.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, eating green will ______.‎ A. protect the animals from being killed ‎ B. promote the development of agriculture C. help us lose weight and keep self-confidence ‎ D. be good for our health and benefit the climate ‎29. Which will produce the least carbon according to the passage?‎ A. Deforestation. B. Fertilizer. C. Machinery. D. Grains.‎ ‎30. In the author's opinion, the most efficient way to reduce carbon of your menu is to ________.‎ A. eat more vegetables than meat B. stop raising the cattle C. plant more grains D. use less fertilizer ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The benefits of eating green. B. How to reduce the carbon.‎ C. The change of our menu, D. The ways of keeping healthy.‎ ‎ D Want to live longer? Win an Oscar.‎ A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks.‎ So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “ like an old building"，she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity (长寿).‎ The study says winning actors will live 3. 9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手). Actors who have won more than once, like Hepburn, live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.‎ ‎“We found that they died from the same things we all die from- -cancer, heart disease, but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later," says Dr Donald Redelmeier, the leading author of the study. Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one's soul become more full of life.‎ ‎“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar," explains Redelmeier, “or that people should go out and take acting courses. Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important. The study's implied conclusion, he says, is that doctors should ask about their patients' personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.‎ Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love. Redelmeier says, “ She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.'‎ ‎“We found, too, those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life ‎ expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.‎ ‎32. The longevity of Oscar winners mainly has something to do with _______.‎ A. the big money that was awarded B. mental factors C. rich and colorful lives D. respect from others and better treatment ‎33. Tom had five Oscar nominations but won no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either. We can tell ______.‎ A. Tom probably will have a longer life than Peter B. Peter probably will have a longer life than Tom C. both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancy D. both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life ‎34. According to the passage, we know _________.‎ A. when Katharine Hepburn was 94，she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizes B. in general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person's life expectancy C. that Gwyneth Paltrow's full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the study D. if you want to live a happy and long life, you should take acting courses and win Oscars ‎35. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Most Oscar Winners Live Longer Lives B. How to Live a Long Life C. A New Study About Lives D. An Amazing Finding 第二节（共5小题，每题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。‎ How to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily Fears Sometimes when thinking of courage, we think it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn't just mean doing heroic acts. 36 In fact, where there is fear of a daily basis, there ‎ are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.‎ ‎●Recognizing your fears.‎ By realizing that you're fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is. 37 You might come to understand that you're afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don't have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on your fear, but rather to understand what it is and what you are worried about.‎ ‎●Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen. ‎ If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: What's the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not. 38 Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. When you take no action, you are assured of getting nowhere.‎ ‎●Take action.‎ Courage comes from taking action. 39 You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.‎ ‎● 40 ‎ To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery. You are able to move decisively forward.‎ A. Share your fears with others.‎ B. Practise, practise and practise.‎ C. So you are already in a comfort zone,‎ D. You cannot think courage comes just in one day.‎ E. Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal.‎ F. Find out what is truly holding you back.‎ G. You needn't wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，撑握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项。‎ When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 41 me to do so. She said, “Now it is time for you to travel around the world, 42 your knowledge through actual experience and have fun!" I 43 her.‎ Since I started to work for a food company, 44 , I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 45 of many cities on my computer screen.

So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 50 ?” Those words reminded me of my 51 advice. As information technology 52 ，you might be able to make it without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss various 53 you can get from traveling.‎ Today there are people who 54 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people 55 not with each other but into microphones. It seems as if such people are 56 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 57 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 58 more fruitful. However, we should never let it 59 our time for face-to-face communication. Let's make use of information technology more 60 and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.‎ ‎41. A. promised B. allowed C. hurried D. encouraged ‎42.
