And if you are a woman, it’s even worse. ‎ Many young people get married simply to escape others’ gossip. This is a serious compromise. One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.‎ There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they can’t find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.‎ ‎34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.‎ ‎“Many people think marriage is a duty—to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not,” she said, “I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”‎ Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not lay stress on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.‎ ‎25. In the first paragraph the underlined words “in for” refer to _________.‎ A. interested in B. satisfied with ‎ C. worried about D. likely to suffer ‎ ‎26. Which is NOT TRUE according to this passage? ‎ A. One may face social blame and family pressure if one hasn’t got married by 30 in China.‎ B. Miss Kate’s parents are always worried about her marriage.‎ C. Miss Kate won’t compromise if she can’t have her ideal marriage.‎ D. Miss Kate wants to marry a worthy young man. ‎ ‎27. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because_______.‎ A. she doesn’t think he is the right man she wants ‎ B. he is either too old or too young C. he is either important or little learned ‎ D. he doesn’t have good manners ‎28. The main idea of this passage is that _________.‎ A. marriage is a duty to society ‎ B. people should get married before 30 years old ‎ C. late marriage should be respected ‎ D. women should get married earlier than men C Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.‎ ‎ Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.‎ ‎ Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.‎ ‎ Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.‎ ‎ This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.‎ ‎ Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.‎ ‎ That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.‎ ‎29. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?‎ A. Her camera stopped working.‎ B. A woman blocked her view.‎ C. Someone asked her to leave.‎ D. A friend approached from behind.‎ ‎30. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.‎ A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past ‎31. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?‎ A. The rich color of the landscape.‎ B. The perfect positioning of the camera.‎ C. The woman’s existence in the photo.‎ D. The soft sunlight that summer day.‎ ‎ D A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.‎ ‎“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components(元件), ”said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.‎ They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation(计算), sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.‎ While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.‎ Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”‎ ‎32. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.‎ A. they had no model in their mind B. they did not have sufficient time C. they had no ready-made components D. they could not assemble the components ‎33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly_________.‎ A. consists of a flight device and a control system B. can just fly in limited areas at the present time C. can collect information from many sources D. has been put into wide application ‎34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?‎ A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.‎ B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.‎ C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.‎ D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.‎ ‎35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Father of Robotic Fly B. Inspiration from Engineering Science C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study 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。‎ Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:‎ ‎· Schedule yearly exams. 36 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age ‎ to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.‎ ‎· Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. 37 ‎ ‎· Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 38 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.‎ ‎· 39 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.‎ ‎· Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 40 Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.‎ A.

In order to avoid traffic jams, I strongly recommend some effective measures should be taken. First, we should encourage students to go back home by bus or by subway, which can not only save them a lot of time, but also cut their transportation fares. Besides, cars should not be allowed to park in front of the school gate.     I do hope my suggestions will be considered and the phenomenon can disappear soon.                                                                                   Yours,                                                                                                 Li Hua
