But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed—or did they? Here are just a few famous mythical(传说中的) cities.‎ El Dorado ‎ El Dorado is a story that began in 1537 when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia. They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake. Then people began to talk of El Dorado—"the golden man". Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place, too— a city of gold and amazing riches. Nowadays, the name "El Dorado" is still used to mean "a place where you can get rich quickly".‎ Atlantis ‎ There was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was the mythical island of Atlantis. The people of the island were very rich, thanks to the natural resources on their island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to want power. So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed(淹没) by the sea and were never seen, again.‎ Shambhala ‎ In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala is a mystical country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means "place of peace" or "place of happiness". It is said that there is no war in Shambhala, and in the future, when the world is full of war, a huge army will come out of Shambhala, destroy the world's bad rulers, and start a new Golden Age. Some people say this will happen in 2424.‎ ‎21.What does "El Dorado" mean nowadays?‎ A. Colombia.‎ B. A golden man.‎ C. A place of great wealth.‎ D. A city with mountains.‎ ‎22.According to legends, Atlantis was destroyed by _______.‎ A. the gods B. its people C. its powerful enemies D. its neighbouring country ‎23.What will probably happen in 2424 according to the last paragraph?‎ A. The Himalayas will disappear.‎ B. The world will be full of peace.‎ C. An army from Shambhala will save the world.‎ D. There will be a war in Shambhala.‎ B The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:‎ ‎    “I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They ‎ can’t even understand a bit of music.”‎ ‎    “ I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”‎ ‎    But one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”‎ ‎    I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.‎ ‎    Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are you’ll start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.‎ ‎    This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.‎ ‎    Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.‎ ‎24.The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______. A.the musicians have a bad life B.people have poor taste in music C.people have different attitudes towards the same thing D.young people have greater chances of succeeding 25.The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______. A.they’ll push you ahead B.they’ll influence you C.they’ll discover your shortcomings D.they’ll help you achieve your goal 26.From Paragraph 7, we can ______. A.make more friends B.know the right way of making ‎ friends C.develop a better relationship with our friends D.arrange the time with our friends properly 27.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A.You are who your friends are B.True friends have hearts that beat as one C.A friend in need is a friend indeed D.Friends are thieves of time C While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts,many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.‎ Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu,a 49-year-old Chinese architect,won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture—on February 28.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.‎ Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.‎ The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.‎ Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).‎ Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.‎ Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums."That is only evidence that traditions once existed," he said.‎ ‎"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means ‎ old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said.‎ ‎"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are," said Wang.‎ The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.‎ ‎28.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.‎ A.following the latest world trend B.getting international recognition C.working harder than ever before D.relying on foreign architects ‎29.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?‎ A.Its hilly environment. B.Its large size. C.Its unique style. D.Its diverse functions.‎ ‎30.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?‎ A.The mixture of different shapes. B.The balance of East and West. C.The use of popular techniques. D.The harmony（和谐）of old and new.‎ ‎31.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?‎ A.Spread them to the world. B.Preserve them at museums. C.Teach them in universities. D.Recreate them in practice.‎ D Tencent announced yesterday that it will limit the daily time for youngsters to play its ‎ popular King of Glory game after parents and schools in Shanghai and other areas complained their children had become addicted to playing it.‎ From tomorrow, children younger than 12 will only be allowed to play the game for a maximum(最大值) of one hour a day, and after 9 pm, they will be banned from logging into it, said Tencent. Those older than 12 will be able to play a maximum two hours a day.‎ The game system will remind players the time they have been playing and young players will be forced to log out when the time is up.‎ Tencent claimed these were the strictest measures in China’s game industry to prevent addiction and the company expected they would ease parents’ anxiety.‎ The company also said it had updated its system for parents to keep tabs on their children using its games.‎ Since February, parents can receive messages when children log in and spend money on the game after they connect children’s game accounts with their mobile phone numbers.‎ Now, parents can connect phones, tablets（平板电脑）or computers that their children use to play games, so that they can keep an eye on the children even if they have several game accounts, Tencent said.‎ Song Zhe, a father of a Shanghai high school student, welcomed the measures but was not sure if they would be sufficiently effective. “I like the system that could lock up the devices as children can register many accounts,” he said, “but children are so clever that they can always think out counter measures.”‎ ‎32.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?‎ A.Kids under 12 could play the game for at most 7 hours in a week.‎ B.Girls under 8 are able to log in the game at 10 pm.‎ C.Those older than 16 are able to play the game all the time.‎ D.Children over 13 can log in the game after playing 3 hours in a day.‎ ‎33.The underlined phrase “keep tabs on” is closest in meaning to “_________”.‎ A.be careful with B.be in control of C.have an eye on D.keep contact with ‎34.What can we learn about the game system according to the passage?‎ A.Parents can monitor their children even if they try to register different game accounts.‎ B.Parents need to connect their tablets or computers to the game accounts of their children.‎ C.Parents can be reminded of the time their children have been playing the games.‎ D.Parents should pay attention to their phones all the time in case they miss any message.‎ ‎35.What did Song Zhe’s father think of the game system?‎ A.The game system was absolutely welcomed by him.‎ B.Children were too dull to break out of the system.‎ C.He was uncertain about the effectiveness of the system.‎ D.Children could register lots of accounts to unlock the devices.‎ 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，其中有两项为多余选项。‎ Four Ways to Beat Summer Weight Gain When we think of the summer holiday, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer holiday. In reality, the summer holiday isn’t all beach volleyball and water sports. Therefore, we can gain weight easily in the summer holiday. 36 Here are four ways to beat summer weight gain.‎ ‎37 When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend the summer holiday moving from the couch to the computer, with regular stops at the fridge. Avoid this by aiming for a specific goal, like volunteering, mastering a new skill, or working at a job. Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!‎ ‎ Stay busy. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy. In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, filling your days with stuff to do can give you a sense of accomplishment (成就). 38 .‎ ‎ Beat the heat. Don’t let summer heat put your exercise plans on hold. 39‎ ‎ If a gym isn’t your scene, try bowling or an indoor climbing wall. If you love being outdoors, move a regular run or soccer game to early morning or evening.‎ ‎40 With school out, we lose our daily routines (日常事务). If you don’t have a specific job or an activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have some structure — like getting up at the same time each day. Plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast.‎ A. Stick to a plan.‎ B. Get going with goals.‎ C. Relax by walking outside.‎ D. Move your workout(锻炼) indoors.‎ E. We usually stay at home in the summer holiday.‎ F. That's especially true if a dream summer job falls through.‎ G. However, it's easy to avoid this problem if we know what to look out for.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（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。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ At six feet, seven inches tall and weighing 253 pounds, Father was a quiet giant(巨人) who only roared when he was angry.

Our class have discussed about the topic "Human cloning: To be or not to be".     35% of the students are pro-cloning, since the cloned humans can share our duties and burdens, for example, replacing us to complete the homework. And we can make use of the organs of the cloned humans to help some patients.     While the others argue that human cloning is immoral. Cloning can even increase the population, therefore it will cause many social problems. The cloned humans are also humans and we are likely to lose control of them. So why should we get ourselves in trouble?     As far as I'm concerned, I’m in complete agreement with human cloning. After all, scientists have been challenging questions of morality for centuries. Why should we stop them now? But we have to make sure that we're cloning humans with the intention of benefiting humans.     What's your opinion? Write to tell me soon.‎ Yours Jack 听力原文：‎ Text 1‎ W:How was your trip to Beijing?‎ M:Tiring.There were too many people there.I could hardly find any room to move my arms on the train.
