Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: his redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s.‎ Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French— and everyone else— were won over. His glass pyramid ‎ outside the Louvre, completed in 1989, is now one of Paris' most famous landmarks.‎ Pei was born in China in 1917 into a wealthy family. His father was a banker. His artistic mother— a calligrapher and musician— had the greater influence on him. Despite not speaking English, he moved to the US at the age of 18 to study at Pennsylvania, MIT and Harvard. He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two, and went on to work as an architect, founding his own firm in 1955. He carried on working well into old age, creating one of his most famous masterpieces— the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar— in his 80s.‎ He has designed buildings, hotels, schools and other structures across North America, Asia and Europe. His other work includes Dallas City Hall and Japan's Miho Museum. His style was influenced by his love of Islamic architecture. His favoured building materials were glass and steel, with a combination of concrete.‎ He won a variety of awards and prizes for his buildings, including the AIA Gold Medal, the Praemium Imperiale for Architecture. In 1983 Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms. He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America. In person, Pei was always neatly dressed, good-tempered, charming and unusually modest.‎ ‎24. What do we know about Pei and his work on the Louvre Museum?‎ A. The French approved of his designs at first. B. Pei was the only foreign expert employed by the Louvre.‎ C. Pei made use of glass in his designs. D. Pei retired after completing the work.‎ ‎25. Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage?‎ ‎① He received the Pritzker Architecture Prize.‎ ‎② He founded his own firm.‎ ‎③ He created the Museum of Islamic Art.‎ ‎④ He worked as a research scientist.‎ A. ①③②④ B. ④①②③‎ C. ④②①③ D. ①④③②‎ ‎26. What words can be used to describe Pei according to the passage?‎ A. Productive and humorous. B. Generous and modest.‎ C. Determined and outgoing. D. Attractive and responsible.‎ ‎27. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Louvre Pyramid Architect Dies Aged 102 B. Prizes Awarded to Pei C. Landmarks Created by Pei D. A Famous Architect ‎ C It is calculated that some of the world's 7,000 languages are in danger of getting extinct. “For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers remaining,” said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.‎ The scientists found that 25 percent of the world's languages are threatened. After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as poor areas or rapid population growth. “We find that at the global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth— that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” Amano said.‎ ‎“One important finding of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local languages with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” Amano said.‎ Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more popular language as offering economic opportunities, and ‎ thus forego their own languages. “There are other important factors that might endanger languages,” the researchers said. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.‎ Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to the diversity of languages. “There exists detailed information on future changes in the environment, economies and climates,” Amano said. “Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world's languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”‎ ‎28. Why is the language of Ainu mentioned in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To show that it is most likely to disappear in the future.‎ B. To prove that Japanese is now seriously threatened.‎ C. To show that few people speak Japanese in the world.‎ D. To prove that Japanese is made up of many languages.‎ ‎29. What may endanger the languages most according to Amano?‎ A. The diversity of society. B. The decline of the population.‎ C. The improvement of the environment. D. The development of economy.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “forego” probably mean?‎ A. Employ. B. Desert.‎ C. Record. D. Advance.‎ ‎31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The world's languages are developing at a rapid speed.‎ B. The study may be of use in stopping languages dying out.‎ C. It is rather hard for us to protect the diversity of languages.‎ D. Future threats to the diversity of languages are unpredictable.‎ D While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.‎ Why isn't complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information at a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.‎ Yet the harmful effects don't stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.‎ In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).‎ The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.‎ The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude (感恩). Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.‎ What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over? Please share your thoughts in the ‎ comments section below.‎ ‎32. What do Para 2-3 mainly talk about?‎ A. The diseases caused by complaining.‎ B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain.‎ C. The bad effects of complaining on brain power.‎ D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.‎ ‎33. What can we know about cortisol from the passage?‎ A. Gratitude is an effective cure for cortisol.‎ B. Our body produce cortisol when we feel exited.‎ C. Cortisol is a chemical that can cause brain damage.‎ D. Having a high level of cortisol can lead to many health problems.‎ ‎34. What attitude does the writer take to stubborn complainers?‎ A. Grateful. B. Tolerant.‎ C. Disapproving. D. Sceptical.‎ ‎35. Where can the passage most probably appear?‎ A. In a newspaper. B. In a medical report.‎ C. On a website. D. In a radio program.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A recent report suggested that an average person checks his or her call phone 150 times a day. ‎ ‎ 36 They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger. 37 ‎ At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.‎ ‎ 38 A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age range of 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day. When you’re walking home from work, you don’t need your head-phones making loud noises in your ears. There is a much greater place to create positive emotions that will make us happier and much more fulfilled. Those emotions are within us, and by blocking these feelings with all of our latest technologies, we may be harming ourselves. 39 ‎ We need to take back control of our minds and stop compulsively checking our emails, Facebook updates, and text messages. I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with.‎ ‎ 40 Think about what parents are doing to children’s emotional well-being when they focus on their cell phones rather than their children.‎ If you are playing with your children in the park, be totally attentive to what they are doing. If you are in a business meeting and someone is speaking, listen to everything they say.‎ A. Your cell phone is not part of your body.‎ B. Human beings are glued to their cell phones.‎ C. Cell phones have brought great convenience to us.‎ D. People addicted to cell phones are even not aware of their safety.‎ E. How many relationships are lost because of a lack of communication?‎ F. Using cell phones too much may be linked to depressions and anxiety.‎ G. Statistics show 28 percent of car accidents occur from people using cell phones.‎ 第二部分 语言运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的选项。‎ Fourth-grader, Sarah Haycox, made it her mission to right a wrong.
