And I feel sorry to have to tell you… Though you have worked very hard, it has not helped. You’re just not fit for it.”‎ The boy buried his face in his hands, “This will be hard on my parents,” he said. “Their one idea ‎ is for me to be a college man.”‎ The psychologist laid his hand on the boy’s shoulder and said, “People have different kinds of talents. Some day you will find what your special gift is and when you do, you will make your parents very proud of you.”‎ Johnnie never went back to school. Jobs were scarce(缺乏的) in town, but he managed to keep busy mowing the lawns of the householders and puttering in their flowerbeds. Before long he discovered he had an eye for color.‎ One day while he was downtown, he happened to notice a stretch of unused land behind the city hall. Chance or fate or whatever you may like to call it brought one of the town’s aldermen （市政委员会委员）round the corner just at that moment. The boy said, “I can make a garden out of this dump, if you’ll let me do it.”‎ ‎“The town’s got no money for it,” said the alderman.‎ ‎“I don’t want any money for it,” said the boy. “I just want to do it.”‎ The alderman was shocked to find someone who did not want money. He took Johnnie into an office, and when the young man came out he had the authority to clean up the public eyesore. Before long the old dump became a little beautiful park.‎ It was also a kind of show window for Johnnie. People saw the result of his skill and knew him as a natural landscape gardener.‎ That was twenty-five years ago. Today Johnnie is the head of a successful business in landscape gardening. His aging parents are proud of Johnnie, for he is not only a success, but he has also made his part of the world a lovelier place to live in.‎ ‎21. The psychologist called Johnnie into his office to ________.‎ A. persuade him to give up schooling B. help him find out his gift C. give him some suggestions on study D. encourage him to work hard ‎22. What did Johnnie Martin have a gift for?‎ A. Drawing. B. Gardening. C. Repairing. D. Engineering.‎ ‎23. The underlined part “the public eyesore” refers to ________.‎ A. the city hall B. the town C. the park D. the dump ‎24. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. Gardeners are born and not made.‎ C. Everyone has something special. D. Interest is the key to success.‎ B According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.‎ The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.‎ The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society showed that the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.‎ Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent - the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.‎ ‎“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”‎ Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human being, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.‎ ‎“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease, which develops over a long time and affects cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said.‎ ‎25. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?‎ A. They have large brains. B. They can recognize their owners.‎ C. They can recognize human faces from photograph. D. They can tell animals from humans.‎ ‎26. How did the researchers train the sheep?‎ A. By giving food rewards. B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.‎ C. By showing photos of famous people.D. By guiding them to follow their handlers.‎ ‎27. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.‎ B. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.‎ C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability says the same when shown photos at any angle.‎ D. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.‎ ‎28. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Wonderful Scientist B. How Sheep Recognize Each Other C. A New discovery about Sheep D. The Life of Sheep C China’s hot word, tuhao, may be in Oxford English Dictionary.‎ In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with Apple’s gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhao golden”. The word is now often used to refer to people who have money but lack taste.‎ There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and No Zuo No Die, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phrase No Zuo No Die, meaning if you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and dim sum have also been included in the dictionary.‎ BBC World News recently made a special program called “Tuhao, let’s be friends!” “The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Beijing University.‎ What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language’s influence?‎ Xing Hongbing, a professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said “These show that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases are the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what’s happening in China.”‎ ‎29. Which of the following words is NOT a hot Chinglish word?‎ A. Dama B. Karaoke C. Tuhao D. Dim sum ‎30. The word “dama” becomes so popular because ________.‎ A. they are wealthy middle-aged women B. they bought gold crazily when the price was down C. they made the gold price up D. they worked on the Wall Street ‎31. What does the frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggest?‎ A. Foreigners want to know more about the lifestyle and culture of China.‎ B. Foreign people found it funny.‎ C. Chinese is one of the most important languages in the world.‎ D. Chinese people are very friendly. ‎ D Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.‎ In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.‎ Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that ‎ standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?‎ Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.‎ ‎32. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .‎ A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.‎ B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease ‎33. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?‎ A. Afraid. B. Curious. C. Approving. D. Uninterested.‎ ‎34. How does the passage mainly develop?‎ A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To stress the role of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.‎ C. To call attention to the danger of dirt. D. To present the change of views on dirt.‎ 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。‎ In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.‎ In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36 ‎ So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.‎ ‎ 38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.‎ There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to ‎ go, so you need lots of free time. 39 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.‎ Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe. ‎ ‎ 40 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can ‎ show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.‎ A. I have done house sitting many times.‎ B. Thousands of people do this all the time.‎ C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.‎ D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.‎ E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.‎ F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.‎ G You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.‎ 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，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。‎ During my school days, I was one of those shy and distant kids who would just sit in a comer for an entire day.

At present, I 59 mixing with people, learning new things and making new friends. I think, there are just no such 60 as rejections or failures as everything can change at any moment.‎ ‎41.

You wrote to me asking me how to keep healthy. And I’d like to give some of my advice about it, hoping it can help. ‎ For one thing, as we know, we teenagers grow very fast, so we need plenty of nutritious foods, such as fish, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables. You should not eat too much meat or too many sweets. For another, you should take physical exercise regularly instead of studying all the time. For example, you can play basketball or swim after school. What’s more, having enough sleep is of great importance. Therefore, I suggest you should have at least eight hours of sleep every day and not to stay up too late. Only in this way can we keep fit.‎ 附听力原文 ‎(Text 1)‎ W: Isn’t this the classroom for English 471?‎ M: This is History 625.

He introduces the performers and make sure the acts start and finish on time. We are a happy family. And we don’t have dogs or cats as pets at home. The only animal in our family is a rabbit. My mother, my brother and my sister only work for eight months, and they travel around from place to place. I think it’s a great life.‎
