The site is more than an amazing example of land art. Behind the site is a(n) 36 love story.‎ When young Argentine 37 Pedro Martin Ureta, aged 28, met 17-year- old Graciela Yraizoz in his hometown, they fell in love at first 38 . Two years later, they got married and 39 down on the farm where Ureta had been ‎ 40 . Graciela had many big plans for the farm in her mind. One day when she was taking a plane on a flight 41 Pampa, Graciala noticed that another farm looked like a milking pail（桶） from the 42 . Graciela thought that her family could create something even more attractive on their own farm: A huge forest ‎ 43 as her favorite musical instrument—the guitar.

A. avoid blowing the hair with high heat B. keep moving our heads when drying our hair C. avoid making the hair dryer too close to the hair D. make our hair dry with a tower before we use the dryer B We have a strange obsession with the concept of perfection. “If I have the perfect parents and perfect grades, then I would be happy.” Under cultural influence, we seek what we can’t have without remembering that we don’t actually need to be perfect. Imperfection allows us to be human.‎ Parents, teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive. However, what job or school requires you to have a 2400 SAT, 4.0 GPA and develop a cure for some form of cancer by the age of 18? Although these would be great achievements, are they worth the cost of sleep? We feel like we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the perfect education necessary to obtain the perfect job. With this misconception, when writing our resumes（简历）, we then seek out experiences that we think may help build a good name for ourselves. Feeding on our thirst for perfection, some college and career industries have been set up claiming to help us reach our goals.‎ The truth is, you only need to be good enough. Don’t worry about anything secondary to your passions. You won’t become an expert at anything if you spend your time trying to succeed in everything you do. You only become an expert when you devote your time to the one or two projects that truly bring you joy.‎ As members of this society, we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do, not perfect. Although perfection can be a goal, it should not be the only goal. We only have 24 hours in a day. Thus, we need to prioritize（优先选择）what we want to do and cut out the activities we cannot do. If you enjoy debating, take a law class and see how it suits you. If you enjoy cooking, experiment in the kitchen and see what you can make!‎ Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself. Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams. Above all, remember that you are going to be okay.‎ ‎59. From the passage, we can learn that .‎ A. perfect grades are necessary when applying to colleges B. many students devote themselves to the cure for cancer C. many students ignore the importance of writing good resumes D. the desire for perfection may cost many students their good health ‎60. What can be concluded from the passage?‎ A. As a member of society, we are responsible for being perfect.‎ B. Actually seeking perfection is good for a person’s development.‎ C. Students’ great desire for perfection actually benefits some industries.‎ D. We should make full use of our time to do our planned activities.‎ ‎61. What should people focus on when trying to reach their goals? A. Their real interests. B. Their resumes.‎ C. Their experiences. D. Their weaknesses.‎ ‎62. What is the most important thing to remember when people are achieving their goals?‎ A. Getting rid of worries. B. Never trying what they can’t do.‎ C. Having great confidence. D. Accepting their imperfection.‎ C One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its sell-by date.‎ Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and culture in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own home town? What about a Beijinger who did her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked in mainstream society there for another 20 years while raising a family, who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label(标签)?‎ When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces you would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent. Today the same malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.‎ To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.‎ In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well, were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles, often engaged in relatively third-class work, and certainly not the type of people you would want your sons or daughters to marry. But, nowadays, a foreigner down the street may have better SAT scores than you did, or higher degree from a better university. He might also be your son’s or daughter’s next employer.‎ The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.‎ ‎63. By mentioning a European and a Beijinger, the author tends to tell us .‎ A. it’s no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces B. the label of foreigners can never be removed C. most foreigners can do well in learning languages D. it’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad ‎64. What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?‎ A. In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn’t shop in Chicago.‎ B. Today, more and more Asian travelers like to shop in Chicago.‎ C. There are more Asian immigrants today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.‎ D. Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.‎ ‎65. The underlined part in paragraph 1 has the closest meaning to_ .‎ A. the term “foreigner” should be redefined B. the term “foreigner” should no longer be used C. there are no more foreigners in the world today D. the term “foreigner” is not proper to define people ‎66 What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Globalization and mobility caused more and more immigrants.‎ B. The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.‎ C. America is a cultural melting pot.‎ D. Immigration is a global social phenomenon.‎ D ‎①What is a place where you could find old pictures of camels carrying people to Mecca, Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯麦加),and also books about ancient Aztecs(阿芝 特克人) in Mexico ? It is all found in the World Digital Library (WDL). Its collection is available on the Internet.‎ ‎②The librarian of the United States Congress, James Billington, established the WDL in 2009. And John Van Oudenaren is the director. They want it to include items that are both interesting and important, which encourages them to look for things from each country, each culture and each civilization. There are 170 partners in 79 countries sending material to it, including national or university libraries, museums and other cultural organizations.‎ ‎③The library has 8,000 items, including whole books, ancient writings, music and photographs. Every item is annotated (注解)in the 6 official languages of the United Nations: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian plus Portuguese ‎（葡萄牙语）.‎ ‎④Anyone may search the World Digital Library by subject, time period, kind of document or area of the world, whose website is www.wdl.org. Since 2009, 25 million people have visited the website from 250 places. The greatest number is from Spanish-speaking countries. The users include schools, researchers and anyone interested. A teacher from New York City said happily, “It is really wonderful to have a site where every kid in the class, no matter which country he/she is from or where his/her parents were from could search and find something about that country.”‎ ‎⑤Mussa Maravl is a researcher for the WDL from Sudan, who works with all the materials that are in Arabic. He recently published rare photographs of Mecca from 1885. “These camels are, you know, lying their heads on the ground, which is very unusual for a camel. It means these camels have traveled so long, so far and half of those are very thin, too, meaning they have exhausted all the fat they have stored.”‎ ‎⑥Mussa Maravl believes the library provides tools for understanding, especially among Arabs, Muslims and the United States. He says the WDL is posting many items about important developments in Arabic and Islamic science.‎ ‎67. According to the passage, the WDL .‎ A. is supported by many countries and organizations B. introduces significant and exciting information C. offers materials which are translated into 6 languages D. includes kinds of books, music, current news and pictures ‎68.

He is working hard for world peace.‎ B. He took a lot of pictures of camels in Mecca.‎ C. He is a language scholar from Sudan who specializes in Arabic.‎ D. He thinks people can better understand each other through the WDL.‎ 第 II 卷 V. 根据所给的首字母和中文写出所缺单词的正确形式（每空 1 分，满分 10 分）‎ ‎71. To avoid c_ （混淆）, the teams wore different colors.‎ ‎72.
