Aimed at native English speaking children, there are many adults who still say this famous book is their favourite.‎ This is part of the national curriculum in many schools around the world, so it’s quite possible this book will also come up in conversation. You can almost make sure that the most of native English speakers have read this book at least once.‎ Mieko and the Fifth Treasure -- Eleanor Coerr This book is not really so famous, but it is on the recommended book list. What’s great about “Mieko and the Fifth Treasure Eleanor Coerr” is that it’s short. At only 77 pages long, this will be an easy read.‎ Again this book is aimed at young native English speakers, so if you are learning English, the level won’t be so difficult. This book will keep you interested as you will learn many interesting things about Japan and its culture.‎ The outsiders -- S. E. Hilton This short novel is perfect for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. It has modern topic and common teenager problems that people around the world have experienced.‎ There are very few cultural notes in this, which means you don’t need much background information. The sentences are short and easy to understand. The vocabulary is also very easy. You should be able to read this book without difficulty.‎ Thirteen Reasons Why -- Jay Asher This story takes place in the present, which means the writer writes using simple grammar. All sentences are short and the vocabulary is relatively easy.‎ The interesting grammar and short paragraphs makes this a quick and easy book for ESL (English as a Second Language) learners. This is an award-winning book and on the NY Times best book list, so it’s worth a read.‎ ‎51. If a ten-year-old American boy is interested in culture, which book will you recommend?‎ A. The outsiders B. Thirteen Reasons Why C. Charlotte’s Web D. Mieko and the Fifth Treasure ‎52. Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. All these books are still popular among adults.‎ B. Not all the books are aimed at native English speakers.‎ C. Teenager problems are discussed in Thirteen Reasons Why.‎ D. Most of the sentences in Charlotte’s Web are relatively long.‎ B The pills we take to treat anxiety may affect the behavior of fish, new research in the journal Science suggests.‎ Swedish researchers found a common drug in rivers downstream of wastewater treatment plants. It is a ‎ drug for treating anxiety, called oxazepam. It is accumulating in fish and makes them bolder. Wastewater treatment plants are not designed to get rid of drugs. As a result, the drugs end up in wildlife, reaching harmful levels.‎ ‎“It’s something we don’t think about very often, but there are a lot of similarities between fish and humans. So some of our responses to drugs can be seen in fish as well,” said Karen Kidd. She is a biologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. The mood-altering drugs get into waterways when people taking the prescriptions throw unused pills into the waste stream.‎ The researchers let perch（鲈鱼）swim in lab tanks with concentrations similar to those found downstream from wastewater treatment plants. “The perch preferred to swim alone rather than in large groups. They were more likely to explore their environment,” said Micael Jonsson of Umeå University in Sweden, who helped lead the research. ‎ Johsson said, “This adventurous behavior required more energy. And they ate more plankton（浮游生物）, or tiny algae-eating animals, to guarantee enough energy for their activities. This could reduce the population of plankton.” The result could be more algae（水藻）. On the other hand, the new behavior could lead to the opposite effect. If perch make themselves closer to their natural enemies, they are likely to be eaten by them.‎ None of the scientists is suggesting that people should give up these drugs. They just want to reduce the effects of the medicines on the environment. They recommend wastewater treatment plants should be redesigned to get rid of these medicines. But Kidd said that would be too expensive for some communities.‎ Bryan Brooks, director of the Environmental Health Science Program at Baylor‎ ‎University, said drugs could also be designed to break down more quickly in the environment. And the government could continue to run recycling programs where people drop off their unused drugs at government locations. Brooks said he’s particularly concerned about drug effects on aquatic（水生的）environments, like the Trinity River south of Dallas and the South Platte River near Denver, where the majority of the flow comes from treated wastewater. In the developing world, he said, the problem may be even worse, because of careless wastewater treatment and industrial regulations.‎ ‎53. Which of the following is similar to the underlined word “bolder” in paragraph 2?‎ A. stronger B. braver C. weaker D. calmer ‎54. What will happen if perch become adventurous?‎ ‎ A. They will eat more algae. B. They will need more oxazepam.‎ ‎ C. There will be less plankton. D. Their natural enemies will be stronger.‎ ‎55. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. More wastewater treatment plants are needed ‎ B. Fish in wastewater become more adventurous ‎ C. Drugs for treating mental diseases end up in wildlife ‎ D. Anxiety drugs found in rivers change the behavior of fish C If you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.‎ Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.‎ One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. What’s more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.‎ Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal situations. ‎ ‎56. Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?‎ A. A faster pace of learning. ‎ B. Having more chances of getting part-time jobs.‎ C. Being guided by subject experts. ‎ D. A wider range of ways to gain knowledge.‎ ‎57. To get the benefit of being taught by learned experts, you should ________.‎ A. choose self-education B. enter an educational institution C. work for learned teachers D. make use of webpages about education ‎58. What is the most important factor in choosing the way of education?‎ A. One’s preference and situations. ‎ B. The reputation of educational institutions.‎ C. The opinions of relatives and friends. ‎ D. The knowledge of teachers and experts.‎ ‎59. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?‎ A. To promote a webpage about education.‎ B. To prove that self-education is the best choice.‎ C. To help readers choose between two forms of education.‎ D. To prove that it’s difficult to decide on the proper education. ‎ D My timing has always been a little off with Elizabeth Strout. I’ve read and pretty much admired everything she’s written, but, for whatever reason, the books of hers I’ve picked to review have been the good ones, like Amy and Isabelle and The Burgess Boys, rather than the extraordinary ones, like Olive Kitteridge, which won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize. Anything Is Possible is Strout’s latest book and it’s attractive. Like Olive Kitteridge, Anything Is Possible reads like a novel constructed out of linked stories. In fact, it’s hard to know exactly what to call this — a novel or a short story collection. In any case, these stories are animated(栩栩如生) by Strout’s signature themes: class humiliation, loneliness, spiritual and, sometimes, reawakening. When Strout is really on her game, as she is here, you feel like you’ve been carefully lowered into the unquiet depths of quiet lives.‎ Strout began working on Anything Is Possible at the same time she was writing her novel My Name Is Lucy Barton, which was published last year. Lucy, a dirt-poor child who grows up to become a celebrated writer, floats in and out of these interlocking stories. Some characters catch a glimpse of her being interviewed on TV; one travels to see her at a bookstore. An older Lucy even appears “in the flesh” in one story when she returns home to the small town in rural Illinois where most of these tales are set to visit her ‎ troubled brother; but Anything Is Possible also stands on its own. Indeed, a few of the characters here would be ticked off if they thought their stories depended in any way on that Barton girl. Strout’s writerly eye works like a 360 degree camera, so that a character or place that’s on the margins of one tale takes center stage in a later one. This technique sounds contrived, but Strout carries it off lightly.‎ ‎ ① One of the most powerful stories here is called “Dottie’s Bed & Breakfast,” which is an establishment we readers glimpse earlier in the book. Dottie desires to be middle-class and she harbors a grudge (怨恨) against life because she’s had to rent out rooms to make a living. Dottie also possesses a sensitive nose for sniffing out the lower-class origins of some of her guests.‎ ‎ ② “Shoes always gave you away,” comments a woman in a story called “Cracked” about a houseguest’s too-high cork wedges(坡跟鞋). And, in the final story here, called “Gift,” a once-poor man made good says, “The sense of apology did not go away, it was a tiring thing to carry.”‎ ‎ ③ But, back to Dottie. When an elderly doctor and his wife come to stay at her guesthouse, Dottie bonds with the wife, Shelley, who shares a story about a long-ago social humiliation.‎ ‎ ④ At breakfast the next morning, however, Shelley obviously regrets that confidence and becomes the Doctor’s wife again. She freezes Dottie out and puts her back in her place as the inn-keeper.‎ There’s comic satisfaction in seeing Dottie secretly spitting into the breakfast jam, but the more profound rewards of this story have to do with its recognition of the many varieties of human insecurity — or, as Lucy Barton herself more bluntly (直率地) puts it, the many ways “people are always looking to feel superior to someone else.”‎ Other stories have to do with sexual shame, or with the tragic ways close neighbors or family members misread each other; but I’m making Anything Is Possible sound too grim when, in fact, so many of these stories end in an understated (低调的) gesture of forgiveness. Strout is in that special company of writers like Richard Ford, Stewart O’Nan and Richard Russo, who write simply about ordinary lives and, in so doing, make us readers see the beauty of both their worn and rough surfaces and what lies beneath.‎ ‎60. The author of the article may have reviewed these books EXCEPT_______.‎ A. Amy and Isabelle B. The Burgess Boys ‎ C. Anything Is Possible D. Olive Kitteridge ‎61. What can be inferred according to the second paragraph? ‎ A. The book Anything Is Possible depends wholly on that Barton girl.[]‎ B. The character Lucy floats in and out of these disconnected stories.‎ C. An ordinary character in one story can be a leading role in another.‎ D. Elizabeth Strout isn’t skillful at describing small characters in life.‎ ‎62. Shelley freezes Dottie out the next morning because _______.‎ A. she feels she is superior to Dottie B. Dottie spits into the breakfast jam C. Dottie desires to be middle-class D. she regrets the confidence in Dottie ‎63. The sentence “Indeed almost all of Strout’s characters have sharp eyes and even sharper observations to make when it comes to that great American subject: class.” should be put in ___.‎ A. ① B.② C. ③ D. ④‎ ‎64. The tone of the article can be described as _______.‎ A. depressing B. critical C. appreciative D. indifferent ‎65. What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Anything Is Possible — unquietness depths of ordinary lives B. Elizabeth Strout — an outstanding Pulitzer Prize Winner C. Anything Is Possible — a collection of grim short stories D. Elizabeth Strout — a writer with clever writing techniques 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。‎ Circumnavigating（环航）the planet and stopping off wherever you fancy is the ultimate trip -- perfect for travellers who want to see it all, or who are just plain indecisive. But booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip can be a complex business. Here is a guide to get you started.‎ How to do it The most economical way to circumnavigate the globe is to buy a RTW air ticket that uses one airline alliance (联盟). Theoretically, any routing is possible, but knowing how the RTW booking system works will make your trip cheaper. For example, the Star Alliance, a coalition of 27 airlines which fly to 1,185 airports in 185 countries, offers a RTW ticket with a maximum of 15 stops.‎ There are rules: you must follow one global direction (east or west -- no backtracking); you must start and finish in the same country; and it will be better if you book all of your flights before departure, though you can change them later (which may bring extra charges).‎ When to go The weather will never be ideal in all of your stops. So, focus on what you want to do most and research conditions there. If a Himalaya trek (徒步) is your highlight, do not land in Nepal mid-monsoon season; if you want to swim with whale sharks off the coast of Western Australia, be there between April and July. Then accept you will be in some regions at the “wrong” time — though this might offer unexpected benefits (for example, Zambia in wet season means lush (郁郁葱葱的) landscapes and cheaper prices).‎ In general, city sightseeing can be done all the year round (escape extreme heat/cold/rain in museums and cafes) but you can only enjoy outdoor adventures in the right weather.‎ Where to go The classic (and cheapest) RTW tickets flit (辗转) between a few big cities, for example London — Bangkok — Singapore — Sydney — LA. If you want to link more unusual hubs (Baku — Kinshasa — Paramaribo), prices will climb considerably. The cost of the ticket is based on the total distance covered or the number of countries visited.‎ Remember, you do not have to fly between each point: in Australia you could land in Perth, travel overland and fly out of Cairns. Or fly into Moscow, board the Trans-Siberian train and fly onwards from Beijing.‎ Pick some personal highlights and string the rest of your route around those. For instance, if you are a keen trekker, flesh out (充实) a Peru (Inca Trail), New Zealand (Milford Track) and Nepal (Everest Base Camp) route with Brazil (Rio’s a good access point for South America), Australia and northern India.‎ If budget is an issue, don’t spend much time in expensive countries. Your daily outgoings will be far higher in Europe and North America than in South-East Asia. Indonesia, Bolivia and India are particularly cheap.‎ Tips and warnings Talk to an expert before you book: you may have a route in mind but an experienced RTW flight booker will know which routings work best and cost least — a few changes could mean big savings.‎ Think about internal travel: it can be cheaper to book internal flights at the same time as booking your RTW ticket. But, with the global increase of low-cost airlines, you may find it better (and more flexible) to buy them separately as you go.‎ Be warned: if you do not board one of your booked flights (say, on a whim (一时兴起), you decide to ‎ travel overland from Bangkok to Singapore rather than fly it), your airline is likely to cancel all subsequent flights.‎ A Guide to a Round-the-World Trip Passage outline Supporting details How to do it t Buy a RTW air ticket using one airline alliance to (66) ▲ money.‎ t Follow one global direction and start and finish in the same country.‎ t Book all flights before your (67) ▲ .‎ When to go t To arrive at your destination at the right time, research weather conditions in (68) ▲ .‎ t Being in some regions at the ‘wrong’ time may offer you (69) ▲ against all expectations.‎ t Generally, city sightseeing can be done year-round but outdoor adventures are more (70) ▲ in the right weather.‎ Where to go t Big cities like London and Sydney.‎ t More(71) ▲ places like Baku costing much more.‎ t ‎(72) ▲ countries in view of budget.‎ Tips and warnings t ‎(73) ▲ an expert before you book.‎ t Buy (74) ▲ tickets as you go.‎ t Note that if you (75) ▲ to board one of your booked flights, all subsequent flights may be cancelled.‎ 第五部分 词汇检测（共10小题；每题1分，满分10分）‎ A. 新概念III词汇检测：根据所给句义，写出意义和形式都正确的单词(首字母已给)（每空一词，每词1分）‎ ‎76.

For one thing, large quantities of household waste have been produced by the increasing population in big cities so that heavier burdens are added to the slowly developing processing capacity, endangering people’s life. For another, sorting and separating the waste contributes a lot to natural resources, which causes less ‎ damage to the environment.‎ From my perspective, we should form the habit of separating and classifying the waste before it is thrown away. In the meanwhile, it is always advisable to buy reusable items so as to reduce waste. Last but not least, we should do our part to influence as many people around us as possible by our own deeds.

Niagara Falls is very beautiful and amazing. And many people visit it every year. But in terms of height, the most wonderful falls in the world is Angel Falls in Venezuela.‎ The highest point of the falls reaches 979 meters. The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground it has already turned into fog.‎ One of the most interesting facts about Angel‎ ‎Falls is how it was found. The falls was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, he crashed his plane near the top of the falls. That's how we found it.‎ Angel‎ ‎Falls‎ also inspired the setting of the Disney animated film UP in 2009. In the film, the location was called Paradise Falls instead of Angel‎ ‎Falls.‎ Angel‎ ‎Falls‎ is located in a lonely jungle. Although a trip to the falls isn't an easy thing, it is still one of the top scenic spots in Venezuela. If you have a chance to visit the country, you should not miss it!‎
