D．how ladybugs benefit people ‎22．How did the four kids feel when they saw the list of state insects?‎ A．Surprised. B．Excited. C．Happy. D．Proud.‎ ‎23．Why did the four kids choose the convergent lady beetle as their state insect?‎ A．Because it looks beautiful. B．Because they knew it very well.‎ C．Because of their teacher's advice. D．Because of its contribution to farming.‎ B When a new school year began in August，students in four classes were greeted by a new teacher.The human resources department had worked on through the summer to attract new teachers.Staff members made out-of-state recruiting (招收) trips.The district changed its website and asked local people to tap their families and friends for job candidates.“We were leaving no stone unturned，” said Dave Ostash，assistant of human resources.Still，when the bell rang on the first day of class，they went short of four teachers.‎ After years of hiring freezes，schools in the U．S.are in urgent need of more qualified teachers.In California，which educates more children than any other state，the number of teaching certificates issued (签发) has dropped by half in the past decade.The state's school districts estimate (估计) they will need 21，000 new teachers annually over the next five years.‎ School administrators and academic researchers point to a variety of reasons for the shortages.During the past years，many districts cut down jobs and are unwilling to recruit new ‎ graduates.Debate over testing and renewing lowest performing schools has circled back to teachers.People go to well-paid jobs，jobs that are more respected.Elena Avila，24，a first-time kindergarten teacher at Union Avenue Elementary School in Los Angeles，said she had wanted to be a teacher since an early age，but began to doubt the decision as she got older.She got a degree in classical studies and volunteered before making up her mind.‎ To fill their vacancies (空缺)，districts are trying everything to attract new teachers.The Fresno Unified School District in California's San Joaquin Valley has begun advertising openings at movie theaters.At Sierra Sands Unified，half of the new employees are not fully certified (证明合格的)；they're working towards alternative certifications while they teach.It wasn't until three weeks into the school year that all the vacancies were filled.For the four newest teachers，there was no time to prepare，only dive in.“They're going and hitting the ground running，” Ostash said.‎ ‎24．How many teachers will California recruit in the next five years?‎ A．21，000. B．42，000. C．84，000. D．105，000.‎ ‎25．What caused the shortage of qualified teachers?‎ A．The schools offered higher paid jobs.‎ B．Teachers are more respected than others.‎ C．Many districts refused to hire new graduates.‎ D．The temperature of schools dropped to freezing point.‎ ‎26．What measure did the Fresno Unified School District take to attract new teachers?‎ A．They went to some colleges. B．They asked local people for help.‎ C．They put ads in movie theaters. D．They gave teachers certifications.‎ ‎27．The underlined part “hitting the ground running” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．‎ A．turning to other people for some help B．setting about doing something right away C．getting well prepared for doing something D．looking forward to succeeding with pleasure C Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield (布雷区)，where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.‎ ‎1．Southpaws (左撇子) have an invisible (看不见的) advantage You've probably seen that stores keep go-to items—produce，meats，dairy—on the outer edge.But did you notice that most of them are set up to make you run counterclockwise (逆时针)? Ninety percent of us are right-handed，so we buy more when it's counterclockwise.You'll also often find the dairy section in the back left corner：Because dairy is likely on your list，stores make sure you take the longest route to get there.In fairness，it's also a more convenient place to put a fridge.‎ ‎2．Everything is in its place It's safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance.The cookies on sale at the end of a passage are likely the result of smart product placement.More expensive items are usually placed at an adult's eye level，while colorful treats and other products for kids are positioned lower—to catch the attention of children.‎ ‎3．Time goes by so slowly Stores rarely have windows or clocks.With no reference to the outside world，customers can easily lose track of how long they've been there so that they can buy more.Grocery stores may use another trick to control your sense of time: small floor tiles (瓷砖)．‎ ‎4．Goods are an art form Grocers know exactly what shade of banana you're most likely to buy.To ensure the bananas on display are the closest to this shade，stores use a ripeness scale that ranges from one (all green) to seven (yellow with brown spots)．Some stores even use special lighting to make bananas look more appealing.As for the water sprayed on the other produce? It makes veggies look fresh，but keeping them wet actually makes them rot faster.It also makes produce heavier—and therefore pricier.‎ ‎28．Why do stores usually put dairy in the back left corner?‎ A．Because it is a quiet place. B．To make people buy more.‎ C．To attract people's attention. D．Because most people are right-handed.‎ ‎29．You are more likely to find toys________．‎ A．in corners B．on lower shelves C．at an adult's eye level D．at the end of a passage ‎30．Why are there usually no windows or clocks in stores?‎ A．They are useless. B．There is no space for them.‎ C．To make customers stay longer. D．To allow customers to enjoy themselves.‎ ‎31．Which can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Secrets of stores B．Advantages of stores C．How to shop in stores D．How to operate a store D Nobody likes feeling lonely，and isolation (孤立) isn't only a psychological problem.Loneliness increases a person's risk of death by 26 percent，an effect comparable to the health risks posed by obesity.‎ So some researchers are investigating what it is，exactly，that makes lonely people stay lonely.One long-held theory has been that people become socially isolated because of their poor social skills—as they spend more time alone，the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use.But new research suggests that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the socially isolated.It's just that when they're in situations where they need those skills the most，they choke.‎ Professor Megan L．Knowles and her team tested the social skills of 86 undergraduates，showing them 24 faces on a computer screen and asking them to name the basic human emotion each face was showing：anger，fear，happiness，or sadness.In the end，the lonelier students did worse than the non-lonely students on the emotion-reading task—but only when they were told they were being tested on their social skills.When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test，they performed better than the non-lonely.‎ So the lonelier people are，the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice.Lonely people may be paying closer attention to emotional cues (暗示) precisely because of their willingness to belong somewhere and form interpersonal connections，which results in technically superior social skills.‎ This presents a fairly new way to think about lonely people.It's not that they need to improve the basics of social skills，which they've likely already shared.Instead，lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads，so they can actually use the skills they've got to form friendships and begin to find a way out of their isolation.‎ ‎32．According to the traditional point of view，why do lonely people stay lonely?‎ A．They are happy to stay alone.‎ B．They are difficult to get along with.‎ C．They have few chances to practice social skills.‎ D．They are likely to misunderstand others' opinion.‎ ‎33．In the test mentioned in Paragraph 3，the lonely performed better when they________．‎ A．felt not very lonely B．were under great pressure C．were told it was a test on social skills D．did not know the real purpose of the test ‎34．Compared to non-lonely people，lonely people________．‎ A．can better control their emotions B．can better express their emotions C．can better read people's emotions D．can better handle people's emotions ‎35．What inspiration may lonely people get from the text?‎ A．Be brave to make friends.‎ B．Show sincerity in friendship.‎ C．Find ways to learn social skills.‎ D．Make good use of your lonely time.‎ 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。‎ The writer's block Whatever it is you have to write，the idea of a blank page—or screen—can be very discouraging.Here are a few easy tips to help you overcome your writer's block.‎ ‎1．Think before you write.‎ Before you actually start，think about what you want to say，why you want to say it and who you are going to say it to.The most important question to ask is: what response do I want to get？__36__It may be a memo(备忘录) at work.In that case，your main aim is that your reader will be able to get the most important information quickly.‎ ‎2．Keep it short and to the point.‎ Use short，simple sentences，written for maximum effect.Make sure that everything you say is relevant to your main aim or message.If you can't，it's probably because you're not really sure ‎ of exactly what you want to say.__37__‎ ‎3．Avoid repetition.‎ You may feel that a point needs stressing，and that you therefore want to repeat it just to make sure it sinks in.Don't.It's much better to make sure you expressed yourself clearly and simply the first time round.__38__‎ ‎4．Choose your style carefully.‎ This takes us back to the first point.__39__ If you know them personally，then you'll also know how best to write to them.Make sure your style reflects both your relationship with your reader and your attitude to what you're writing.If you're writing to an anonymous (不知姓名的) audience，keep your style neutral (中立的)．Remember that first impressions are vital.__40__And of course，the wrong choice can do quite the opposite!‎ A．Remember your reader!‎ B．Try reading your text aloud to yourself.‎ C．It'll make your text much easier to process.‎ D．And if you don't know，your readers definitely won't!‎ E．The answer to that obviously depends on what you're writing.‎ F．The right choice of words and tone can help you get off to a great start.‎ G．If something really needs to be said again，at least find a different way to do so.‎ 第三部分　英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎
