At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.‎ The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.‎ Also, Roman roads were cambered (拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.‎ All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.‎ Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.‎ ‎21. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _____.‎ A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers B. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don’t use today C. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mile D. Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of ‎Roman Empire ‎22. What information can you find on the milestones?‎ A. The builders of the road. B. The materials used in building roads.‎ C. The distance from one city. D. The time spent in building roads.‎ ‎23. The passage mainly ________.‎ A. explains the saying “All roads lead to Rome”‎ B. praises ancient Romans for their great achievements C. shows how great the Roman Empire was D. introduces the construction of the Roman roads ‎(B)‎ Children grow quickly, especially their feet, but many families cannot buy new shoes each time children need them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites（寄生虫）from the soil.‎ An American may have a solution for those barefoot kids—a shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long. ‎ ‎“It grows in three places: the front; the side with Velcro; the back with our buckle. It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.”The shoe comes in two sizes: small for children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 10 to 14.‎ Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya“..…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were so small that she had to cut off the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?’”‎ However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality.“I kept writing. I should do this because of this or because of that.”Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for over five years.”‎ 24. Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?‎ A. They are more expensive. B. They are not so comfortable.‎ C. They can grow with a child. D. They come in different sizes.‎ ‎25. Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?‎ A. All the teenagers. B. Children aged 4 to 14.‎ C. Middle-aged women in Africa. D. Senior citizens on low incomes.‎ ‎26. What does Para.4mainly talk about?‎ A. How the shoes work. B. How Lee got his inspiration.‎ C. How to make the new shoes. D. Where to order this kind of shoes.‎ ‎27. Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?‎ A. To remind him of his promise. B. To copy the design of them.‎ C. To make changes conveniently. D. To use them as an example.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ (C)‎ Winslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college，I had always admired his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting “Snap the Whip”. It always hung in my classroom until I retired from teaching.‎ I thought it truly captured the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting，a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes!‎ During my last year of teaching，there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before taking up education. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she entered my room. So on my last day of teaching，after the students had left，I took the painting off the wall and walked next door and gave it to her.‎ She was really surprised，but very glad to have it. I was delighted that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found the perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.‎ 28. Why didthe author admire the painting “Snap the Whip”so much？‎ A. He hada deep love for children andstudents.‎ B. It was bought from a famous American painter.‎ C. He appreciatedthe freedom andfun in the painting.‎ D. It hadalso drawn the attention of the young woman.‎ ‎29. What is the painting about？‎ A. Homeless children. B. The nature of children.‎ C. Hard-working farmers. D. The pleasure of working.‎ ‎30. What does the underlinedword“captured”in Paragraph 2 probably mean？‎ A. Recognized. B. Controlled. C. Caught. D. Influenced.‎ ‎31. How did the author feel when seeing the painting hung in the woman’s room？‎ A. Regretful. B. Painful. C. Proud. D. Pleased.‎ ‎(D)‎ Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.‎ A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.‎ Here's how Harvard‎ Medical ‎School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the ‎ experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—‎17 in this example.‎ After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.‎ When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.‎ ‎“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains,”Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”‎ 32. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?‎ A. They fed them. B. They named them.‎ C. They trained them. D. They measured them.‎ ‎33. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?‎ A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen.‎ C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks.‎ ‎34. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?‎ A. They could perform basic addition. B. They could understand simple words.‎ C. They could memorize numbers easily. D. They could hold their attention for long.‎ ‎35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?‎ A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ What is happiness? When you can feel inner peace and satisfaction, you are happy. 36 This usually happens when we do something we love or achieve something that we value. It is our opinions ‎ that make us feel happy or unhappy. All of us constantly go through various situations or conditions, but we do not have to let them influence our reactions and feelings. 37 .‎ Try hard to make a change of the way you look at things. 38 That means looking at the good and positive side of every situation. Pay attention to solutions, not problems. Listen to relaxing and uplifting music. Watch funny and interesting programs that make you laugh.‎ Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven’t done. Look at what you can do, not at what you cannot do. Each day do at least one act to make others happy. When you make someone happy, you’ll become happy, and then people will try to make you happy. 39 On the contrary, be happy for their happiness. Communicate with happy people and try to learn from them to be happy. Remember ? do your best to stay detached (冷静的) when things do not occur as intended and desired. Detachment has much to do with inner peace. 40 ‎ A. I’ve never regretted it.‎ B. Always look at the bright side.‎ C. Do not envy people who are happy.‎ D. Stop asking for everyone’s approval.‎ E. Inner peace can lead to happiness, so smile more often.‎ F. Here are a few tips for increasing happiness in daily life.‎ G. It is usually experienced at a special moment.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ In the dictionary of Jessica Cox, a woman aged 36 from Tucson, Arizona, there seems to be no such words—can’t or impossible.

It is more than an old cliché (陈词滥调) , but 61 good way to live your life.‎ First, honesty is the 62 (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.‎ Second, honesty gives us much 63 (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in ‎ life, but that is not true.

I’m sure most people would side with the honest person. 69 we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles.
