Reader’s Digest even named it the Best Zoo in America in 2004. The Henry Doorly zoo was built in 1894. But before 1963, it was named as the Riverview Park Zoo. Today, the zoo can claim North America’s largest cat complex, the world’s largest nocturnal(夜间的) exhibit and indoor swamp, the world’s largest indoor rainforest, and the world’s largest indoor desert.‎ The zoo is known for hosting a number of special events. Some of the most popular include Member’s Day in July, and the Spooktacular, usually held on the last Sunday in October. On Member’s Day, the zoo gives out free train rides and a number of other perks(额外补贴) to thank its most loyal patrons(顾客). The Spooktacular is one of the best Halloween parties in town. The zoo hosts over 20 special treat stations, allowing costumed kids to trick or treat from 10 am to 3 pm. Other activities are always announced closer to the day, and even the train conductors dress up, giving special rides!‎ The hours for the zoo are pretty simple: Winter Hours: 9:30am-5pm; Summer Hours: 8:30am-5pm. The zoo is open pretty much every day, except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.‎ Here’s a basic price list for zoo and IMAX admission:‎ Age Group Zoo Admission IMAX Admission Zoo/IMAX Combo Children(2 and under)‎ FREE FREE FREE Children(ages 3-11)‎ ‎$7.75‎ ‎$6.75‎ ‎$12.75‎ Adults(ages 12 and over)‎ ‎$11.50‎ ‎$8.75‎ ‎$16.5‎ Seniors(ages 62 and over)‎ ‎$10.00‎ ‎$7.75‎ ‎$15.00‎ ‎21.The Spooktacular would most probably attract kids who want to .‎ ‎ A. see challenging performances B. enjoy free rides ‎ C. enjoy a special Halloween party D. see dressed animals ‎22.How much should a young couple with their 11-year-old child pay for Zoo/IMAX Combo? A. $33 B. $45.75 C. $49.5 D. $42.75‎ ‎23.The passage is meant to .‎ A. advertise the Henry Doorly Zoo B. encourage kids to care for animals C. tell the history of the Henry Doorly Zoo D. recommend activities of the Henry Doorly Zoo B People and animals often enjoy loving relation-ships with each other. When people adopt domesticated（家养的）animals into their families as pets,animals give humans the blessings of companionship and fun in return. In the wild, animals sometimes carry out dramatic rescues of people in dangerous situations, miraculously（奇迹般地）sensing human needs and jumping in without fear to help.‎ In 2000, a 6-year-old boy named Elian Conzalez left Cuba on a boat bound for Florida in the United States, but the boat sank and everyone aboard drowned except for Elian and two adults. Elian and the other two survivors held onto inner tuber for 48 hours to try to stay afloat in the sea. After a while, however, Elian began to lose strength, slipping under the water and then grabbing the tube again as he fought to stay alive.‎ A small group of dolphins noticed Elian struggling and swan over to him to help. The dolphins formed a circle around the inner tube and took turns using their noses to lift Elian until fishermen working in the area discovered and rescued Elian and the two adults who floated nearby. The fishermen reported that, when they discovered Elian, he was repeating a prayer that his mother had taught him before drowning, asking guardian angels to protect him.‎ Miraculously, the dolphins knew that a child would need more help than adults, so they focused on Elian —and they figured out exactly what needed to be done and cooperated carry out that plan successfully. They made it!‎ 24. Why did Elian slip off the tube?‎ A. He was tired out. B. The dolphins helped him..‎ ‎ C. The two adults pushed him . D. The tube was too smooth to grab.‎ 25. How did the dolphins save Elian Conzalez?‎ A. They informed the fishermen. B. They formed a circle around him.‎ ‎ C. They supported the inner tube by turns. D. They stopped Elian slipping under the water.‎ 26. Which of the following words can be used to describe Elian Gonzalez?‎ A. Confident and strong.‎ B. Determined and lucky.‎ C. Friendly and optimistic. 27. Which could be the best title?‎ D. Adaptable and aggressive.‎ A. Prayer Doing Wonder.‎ B. Elian’s Narrow Escape.‎ C. The Dolphins Who Rescued Elian.‎ D. Animals: Human Being’s Angels.‎ C Even for a certified teacher with a degree and teaching certificate from Florida, a certain embarrassment exists. The two words “English teacher” don’t clearly show who I am.‎ Let me explain: When I go back to the US, I meet all my old friends. Some are stressed, exhausted and generally unhappy. They are stuck in jobs they don’t love that they do only to pay the bills. Even the ones making good money don’t even have the time to spend it and enjoy themselves. If I were in the US and I was working as a teacher, accountant, lawyer or so on, then that would be my job more or less for the next 30 to 40‎ years. I might have other talents, but I would be limited in being able to explore them.‎ In China the system is fluid for everyone: Chinese and expats（侨民）. I know many friends, both Chinese and expats, who changed careers because they wanted something new and it didn’t require going back to university four more years. All it required was motivation and a calculated risk. One of the best things about living in China for me is that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love. Let’s face it people change over the years: Your likes, your abilities and even the things that make you happy are constantly changing. Why shouldn’t your jobs and the opportunities also change with you?‎ When people ask me if I love my job, my answer is ‘YES.’ In China I have had many jobs: actor, model, salesman and teacher at various stages during my seven years here. And no one told me “You can’t do that.” There was no self-limiting. In China, if you have the motivation to work hard and the drive to succeed then opportunities present themselves around every corner.‎ 28. Why the term “English teacher” couldn’t explain the author’s role in China clearly? A. Because he has taken many different jobs in China.‎ B. Because he has no choice but to be an English teacher.‎ C. Because the purpose of his teaching is to make good money.‎ D. Because there’re too many jobs for him to choose from.‎ 29. Why are some of the author’s old friends generally unhappy?‎ A. Because they have no chance to work in China as teachers.‎ B. Because it’s even harder for them to earn money in the US now.‎ C. Because they have no ability to explore their other talents.‎ D. Because they can’t get away from the work they don’t enjoy.‎ 30. What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Strict. B. Fixed. C. Changeable. D. Exciting.‎ 31. What does the author think of China?‎ A. A country without motivations. B. A land of opportunity.‎ ‎ C. A nation full of foreigners. D. A place short of jobs.‎ D Fireworks have been enjoyed by countless people ever since they were invented in China during the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago. From small family gatherings (团聚) to huge global celebrations, there isn’t a party that couldn’t be made more fun with a few fireworks. But it seems that there’s a big price to pay for some brief beauty and entertainment.‎ It’s been discovered that fireworks contain metals such as copper ( 铜 ) and lead, in addition to other pollutants like perchlorates (高氯酸盐). According to the Environmental Protection Agency, perchlorates can form naturally or be manufactured (制造).‎ This is a cause for concern because perchlorates negatively affect the thyroid gland (甲状腺), which impacts important bodily functions like blood pressure and heart rate.‎ Furthermore, a study conducted by Terry Gordon, a professor at New York University, examined the emissions(排放）whose sizes were big enough to enter the lungs. They concluded that these emissions may lead to various dangerous conditions like cancer, heart attacks, and strokes (中风).‎ Nonetheless, the negative effects of firework emissions can be observed in birds. Britain’s Royal Society for the Protection of Birds urges against launching fireworks close to wildlife areas as they may cause confusion among birds.‎ In 2010, an incident involving 5,000 red-winged blackbirds falling out of the sky on New Year’s Eve in Arkansas, US supported this idea. A fireworks display held at a nesting ground for blackbirds led to the birds’ night vision being affected, causing them to fall to their deaths.‎ Arguably (可以说), the use of fireworks during celebrations may be due to a general lack of awareness of how they pollute our environment. Companies and researchers could take this cue ( 线索 ) and find new, eco-friendly alternatives.‎ After all, for all the beauty fireworks bring, there’s no better beauty than that of our planet’s.‎ ‎32. According to the article, perchlorates contained in fireworks ______. A. do harm to the thyroid gland B. raise the risk of cancer C. are dangerous when put in water D. are made from copper and lead 33. Terry Gordon concluded from his research that ______.‎ A. fireworks are directly connected with lung cancer B. the waste from fireworks could threaten our body C. chemicals in fireworks could increase our blood pressure D. our body is strong enough to fight against the pollutants in fireworks 34. The example of red-winged blackbirds is used to show that ______.‎ A. birds are more sensitive to environmental changes than people B. chemicals in fireworks could make birds go blind C. firework displays could cause serious damage to nature D. no efforts are being made to protect wild birds 35. What is the author’s attitude toward the use of fireworks?‎ A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Uninterested. D. Neutral.‎ 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 Elements of Success I don’t believer that there is any one recipe for success. 36 ----and not all of them are needed for success. The more factors you have on your side, the more likely you are to succeed, and positive attitude is just one of those factors. Her are some additional factors that are also important.‎ Knowledge A strong body of knowledge about the area in which you wish to succeed is often one of the key building blocks of success. 37 ---read and try out the foundational materials and push yourself into challenging areas to build your knowledge.‎ Clear goals and planning Much like a trip, it’s a lot easier to get where you want to go if you know where you’re going and spend the time planning the route you’ll take to get there. Think about what your definition of success exactly is, and then identify some of the things that need to be done to help you move towards it.‎ ‎38‎ Hard work is another key to finding success. You don’t become a champion without practicing every day. If you want to succeed in a certain area, work hard in that area and go beyond what others are doing--- deliberate practice is one big key.‎ Luck and opportunity Luck and opportunity also play an important role in success---- 39 . You can prove your luck by making as many strong personal contacts as you can and sharing what you have to increase their “luck” and ‎“opportunities”.‎ Cooperation and support ‎40 ----the fact that others are working in small ways to help you succeed rather than prevent you. A spouse telling you that you can do this is going to go a lot further than a spouse telling you you’ll never make it.‎ A. You can build this by pushing yourself B. the most important factor C. Consistent effort D. Instead, I believe success is the result of a combination of a lot of different factors E. Deliberate work F. sometimes things just click due to forces outside your control G. Along with luck comes cooperation 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共 20 小题；每题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When it’s raining cats and dogs outside, I go through my mum’s old diaries, reading them with complicated feelings.‎ Years ago, when I was thirteen years old, I found 41 just lying around her 42 room. That day I read each line with growing 43 and thrill. I couldn’t believe that woman who fed me as a baby and read me fairy tales had written this. I will never forget the first line I read: “They all want to take me and 44 me!”‎ ‎45 I remembered the other day, when she was 46 around the house. I was sitting at the dining room table with my grandmother, working on a five-thousand-piece puzzle(拼图) that seems to take a 47 to solve.‎ Suddenly, the front door was violently thrown open.

You got all A’s? Great job on your report card!‎ M: I was surprised, too. I think the tests were easier this time. ‎ Text 2‎ W: We need a new computer system. ‎ M: Don’t buy from Dell again. Select Systems is very good, but I’d go with Phillips Computers. I’ve heard good things about them. ‎ W: Fine. Get me their number. ‎ Text 3‎ W: Have you ever read The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett?‎ M: I’m afraid I haven’t. ‎ W: Oh, what a pity! It’s really interesting. I have one copy here. Would you like to read it?‎ Text 4‎ M: How was your appointment, Lily?‎ W: It was fine. The doctor said my headaches aren’t because of the pills I’ve been taking, but because I’ve been wearing glasses for too long. ‎ Text 5‎ W: Look, Michael!Here’s a picture of you when you were a baby!‎ M: Oh no! Am I the one without any hair?‎ W: No, you have lovely hair. That’s you, carrying a towel. ‎ Text 6‎ M: Oh, my goodness. I can’t believe this. ‎ W: How is the view?‎ M: Great, if you enjoy looking at a parking lot. ‎ W:Well, maybe we’ll see the view in the morning. Right now, we should clean up this room. ‎ M: Sorry, Marilyn. ‎ W: Why should you be sorry?‎ M: Well, the rain, the room, the view of the parking lot. It isn’t the way I hoped it would be. ‎ W: Stop blaming yourself. After all, we’re here; we’re alone; we’re together. Isn’t that enough?‎ M: It is for me, but I wanted this weekend to be special for you. ‎ W: It is special. ‎ Text 7‎ W:Mark, which is more suitable for you, watching a movie on DVD or at the cinema?‎ M: Well, I would definitely choose DVD. ‎ W: Why?‎ M: Because I can sit on my nice relaxing sofa and I can drink a beer. At the cinema, you always get somebody at the side of you and they’re very noisy, so you can’t focus on the movie. ‎ W:Actually, I would agree the opposite. When you watch a movie at home, you have family members that interrupt you. The telephone rings. There are always things going on. But at the cinema, people are usually pretty quiet and you can just sit and enjoy the movie. ‎ Text 8‎ W: Happy Birthday, Steve. Did you get lots of presents?‎ M: Yes, I did, Zoe. Mary gave me this jacket. It’s lovely, isn’t it?‎ W: Yes, it is. Did Harry buy you anything?‎ M: Something very expensive, a Japanese camera. I must get a film for it. ‎ W: Oh, you are lucky! And the purple sweater you’re wearing, that’s new. ‎ M: Yes, Linda gave it to me. ‎ W: It looks really good on you. Did you get anything else?‎ M: Oh yes. Thomas knows I love travel films, so he bought me a video about Africa. I must get a book on Africa now, too. ‎ W: Anything else? I suppose James gave you a book as usual. ‎ M: Well, not this year. He bought me some socks. They’re the same color as my new sweater. ‎ W:That was clever of him! And this new earphone is for you. ‎ M: Wow! So beautiful! Thank you very much. ‎ Text 9‎ M: Hey Jane. I have a question I’d like to ask you. ‎ W: Yes. Go ahead. ‎ M: Well, I’m thinking about going to Germany this summer, and I need some advice. You’re the best person I know to answer my questions since you’re a German. ‎ W: What do you want to know?‎ M: Well, don’t laugh, but I met a really nice lady through an online music mailing list, you know, a discussion group on the Internet. I need some advice. You see, Claudia…‎ W: OK. So it’s Claudia, oh?‎ M: Yeah, yeah. See, she invited me to spend two weeks in Germany. She’s planning on introducing me to her parents. ‎ W: Hey. Sounds kind of serious. ‎ M: It isn’t, at least I think it isn’t. Anyway, what should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany?‎ W: Well, if you’re meeting someone formally for the first time, you should make sure you arrive on time. ‎ M: OK, so arrive on time. Uh, what about common greetings?‎ W: Well, Germans often shake hands, and they use the person’s family name, unless they’re really close friends. ‎ M: OK. Thank you very much. ‎ Text 10‎ M: I can’t tell you how many times someone has said to me, “Man, what a cake job! I mean, you only work 4 hours a day!”It’s true that I do a morning program from 6:00 am to 10:00 am, but it isn’t all my work time each day. I get up at 2:00 am then I take a quick shower and sit down at my computer. I collect program information and update our program’s website until 4:30 am. I arrive at the radio station at 5:00 am and spend the next hour preparing, recording and so on. The program begins at 6:00 am and goes until 10:00 am. After that often I can walk out soon, but sometimes there are meetings. Then I go home and answer program e-mails, have lunch and have a short rest. Then at about 4:00 pm, I begin preparing for the next day. It usually lasts two hours. So, the 4-hour-day work timetable is much longer than most people think. Luckily, I really enjoy what I do. It’s not only my work, but also my hobby. ‎
