A

Sitting in the front row in her college classes carefully taking notes,

Nola Ochs is just as likely to answer questions as to ask them. That’s not the

only thing marking her off from her classmates at Fort Hays State University.

She’s 95, and when she graduates on May 12th, it's believed she'll become the

world's oldest person to be awarded a college degree.

She just loved to learn as a teenager on a

Hodgeman County farm, then as a teacher at a one-room school after

graduating from high school and later as a farm wife and mother.

“Even as I grew older, that enthusiasm for study was still there. I came here with no thought of it being an unusual thing at all,” she said.

She's getting offers for television appearances, and reporters show up wanting to interview her. She says she enjoys it. “It brings attention to this college and this part of the state.”She added, “I don't think much of my age. It might limit what I can do. As long as I have my mind and health, it's just a number.”

Ochs started taking classes at Dodge City Community College after her husband died in 1972.After taking a class here and there over the years, she was close to having enough hours for an undergraduate degree.

At 5-foot-2, her white hair pulled into a bun (圆形发髻) , she walks energetically down hallways to classes with her books in a big handbag.

Students nod and smile; she's described as witty (睿智的) , charming and down-to-earth.“Everybody has accepted me, and I feel just like another student,” she said.“The students respect me.”An added joy for Ochs is that her 21-year-old granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, will graduate with her.

Just like any other eager college graduate, the elder Ochs can't wait for life’s next challenge. “I’m going to seek employment on a cruise ship as a storyteller,” she said, smiling. The determined look in her eye leaves no doubt. She’s serious.

41. The first paragraph mainly tells us that Nola Ochs is______.

A. hard-working B. successful C. different D. energetic

42. From the underlined sentence “She didn't plan it that way”, we know that Nola Ochs didn't ______.

A. mean to become the oldest college graduate

B. want to stop learning as a young girl

C. plan to be a farm wife and mother

D. really enjoy learning at such an old age

43. What's Nola Ochs' attitude towards her age?

A. She feels sad about it. B. She is proud of it.

C. She tries to fight against it. D. She pays little attention to it.

44. In the passage nothing is said about Ochs' ______.

A. educational experience, B. relationship with others

C. major subject D. physical appearance

B

These days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have

been hunted to extinction. Fortunately, there are a few badgers（獾）--- Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too ! But why?

Badgers are fascinating creatures. The black and white mammals live underground in “ setts ”, which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry “ Bovine Tuberculosis ” ( BTB ), an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Bovis ( M. Bovis ) which can cause TB in some other animals, including

cattle.

浙江省东阳市黎明补校2013届高三12月月考英语试题

For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in 2010, more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. It’s expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK about ￡100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy ￡9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.

Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull（杀戮）. This will mean about 30,000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was “ great strength of feeling ” about it, but said, “ I believe this is the right way forward. ”

Of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights activists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldn’t work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.

Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about two-thirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. One of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine(疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of ￡2,250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs ￡2,500 per year, but shooting free-running badgers only costs about ￡200 per year ( per square kilometer ).

So, with that in mind, it’s easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!

45. Why does the government want to kill the badgers ?

A. Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.

B. Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.

C. Because they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.

D. Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.

46. Which of the following statements is TRUE ?

A. Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.

B. In the following four decades, ￡9 billion will be spent on TB.

C. Based on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.

D. Caroline Spelman thought badgers should be culled despite people’s strong reaction.

47. Who is strongly for the killing the badgers according the passage?

A. The government B. Most ordinary people

C. Conservationists D. Animal rights activists

48. What is the author’s attitude toward government’s decision?

A. Supportive B. Critical C. Objective D. Unconcerned

49. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. the Control of TB B. the Voice of the Badgers

C. Badger Danger D. the Threat of the Badgers

C

BEIJING - Hailing Mo Yan as the first Chinese citizen that won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the public has started to consider the way to enhance Chinese literature's global presence.

The prize indicates that Chinese contemporary authors and their works are getting the world's

attention, which promp ts writers and amateurs to continue their work, according to Wang Meng, a renowned Chinese writer. But "the prize came a little late," said Xue Yongwu, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Journalism and Communication with Ocean University of China (OUC). There have been many accomplished writers of modern and contemporary literature in China, including Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Mao Dun, who should have won the prize earlier, he noted. China's splendid ancient literature, which extends thousands of years, has been widely acknowledged across the world. However, the contemporary literature failed to get enough recognition from outside the country due to its short history and complex

浙江省东阳市黎明补校2013届高三12月月考英语试题

political influences, he explained. Language has also been a barrier. Only a small proportion of Chinese literature has been translated into foreign languages, mainly English. The quality of some translated editions needs improvement, said Xue.

In addition to language skills, translation requires high-level comprehension and explanation of culture and art. It's hard for people without any literature background to produce a translation that fully reserves the aesthetic(美学的) sense of the original version, according to Ren Dongsheng, professor with the College of Foreign Languages of OUC. The 57-year-old writer is known for his description of Chinese rural life. The settings for his works range from the 1911 revolution, Japan's invasion to Cultural Revolution. Mo combines hallucinatory(幻觉的) realism with folk tales, which is more appealing to the taste of Western readers than the styles adopted by many of his peers, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong and Wang Shuo, said Zhang Hongsheng, dean of the Literature Department of the Communication University of China.

However, "Nobel Prize is not the unique standard to judge the achievements of a writer. Prizes presented by different organizations adopt various evaluation criteria," said Xu Yan, a literature critic. The quality of a literary work is always judged by the topic, language, structure, the way of story-telling, imagination and some other significant elements. People's tastes vary from different social background and cultural mechanism, she added.

Chinese contemporary literature, which appeared in 1949, has seen a trend of diversification since the country adopted the market economy in 1992. "The prize is a positive sign that the West begins to recognize Chinese literature. But it's an acknowledgement of individual efforts, and Chinese literature revival still has a long way to go," said Zhang. Xue called upon Chinese writers to produce quality works with international perspectives. Good literature should reveal social problems and people's concerns while create the beauty of art. "The society should provide favorable environment for the growth of Chinese writers," he stressed. Seeking increasing world attention requires Chinese writers to maintain the national characteristics and uniqueness. "Chinese elements are the last to lose in successful writings," Zhang said. China's book market has witnessed booming sales of Mo's masterpieces over the past days. Zhicheng Classic Bookstore, registered at T-Mall of China's largest online retailer , said 1,500 volumes of Mo's latest novel Frog were sold out in six hours after Mo won the prize. The store has received 1,200 reservation orders by 3:30 pm Friday. The book, about China's family-planning policy, also moved up to 14th from 560th on the list of the most populous book at the withinin two days. Cao Yuanyong, deputy editor-in-chief of Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing Group, said the company is producing the new edition of a collection of Mo's 16 works, which is expected to refill the empty shelves of many book retailers in a week.

50. The article is mainly about_________.

A. Mo Yan's Nobel win sparks piracy concerns

B. Mo Yan's hometown to hail Nobel success

C. Mo Yan sees income soar following Nobel win

D. Mo Yan sparks discussion about Chinese literature

51. The underlined word “renowned” in Paragraph 2 means _______

A. well-known B. critical C. fantastic D. admirable

52. Which of the following is NOT the reason for Chinese contemporary literature failed to win the Nobel in the past from the opinions of Xue Yongwu?

A. Short history B. Individual efforts C. Political influences D. Language translation

53. According to Zhang Hongsheng, what is the main characteristics of Mo Yan’s works?

A. Combining hallucinatory realism with folk tales.

B. His description of Chinese urban life

C. Settings from the 1911 revolution, Japan's invasion to Cultural Revolution.

D. Providing different social background and cultural mechanism

54. In order to make Chinese contemporary literature better acknowledged across the word, what is the most important from the opinions of Zhang Hongsheng?

A. International characteristics B. International perspectives

C. Chinese elements D. Favorable environment

55. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. New edition of a collection of Mo's 16 works has been sold out.

B. Only online bookstores sold out his works after Mo won the prize.

C. The novel Frog was listed the most populous book at the .

D. Mo Yan’s works are bestsellers in the bookstores at present.

D

He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill. He was shivering, his face was white, and he walked slowly as though it ached to move.

“What’s the matter, Schatz?”

“I’ve got a headache.”

“You’d better go back to bed.”

“No, I am all right.”

“You go to bed. I’ll see you when I’m dressed.”

But when I came downstairs he was dressed, sitting by the fire, looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years. When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.

“You go up to bed,” I said, “You are sick.”

“I’m all right,” he said.

When the doctor came he took the boy’s temperature.

“What is it?” I asked him.

“One hundred and two degree.”

Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. The germs of influenza(流感) can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic(传染病) of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia(肺炎).

Back in the room I wrote the boy’s temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.

“Do you want me to read to you?”

“All right. If you want to,” said the boy. His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes. He lay still in the bed.

I read aloud from Howard Pyle’s Book of Pirates; but I could see he was not following what I was reading.

“How do you feel, Schatz?”

“Just the same, so far,” he said.

I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule. It would have been natural for him to go to sleep, but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed, looking very strangely.

“Why don’t you try to sleep? I’ll wake you up for the medicine.”

“I’d rather stay awake.”

After a while he said to me, “you don’ t have to stay here with me, Papa, if it bothers you.”

“It doesn’t bother me.”

“No, I mean you don’t have to stay if it’s going to bother you.”

I thought perhaps he was a little lightheaded and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven o’clock I went out with my gun and the young hunting dog… I killed two quail(鹌鹑), and missed five, and started back pleased to have found a covey of quail close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day.

At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.

“You can’t come in,” he said. “ you mustn’t get what I have.”

I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him, white-faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed(发红) by the fever, staring still, as he had stared, at the foot of the bed.

I took his temperature.

“What is it?”

“Something like a hundred,” I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenths.

“It was a hundred and two,” he said.

“Who said so?”

“The doctor.”

“Your temperature is all right,” I said, “It’s nothing to worry about.’

“I don’t worry,” he said, “but I can’t keep from thinking.”

“Don’t think,” I said. “Just take it easy.”

“I am taking it easy,” he said and looked straight ahead. He was evidently holding tight onto himself about something.

浙江省东阳市黎明补校2013届高三12月月考英语试题

“Take this with water.”

“Do you think it will do any good?”

“Of course it will.”

I sat down and opened the Pirate book and began to read, but I could see he was not following, so I stopped.

“About what time do you think I am going to die?” he asked.

“What?”

“About how long will it be before I die?”

“You aren’t going to die. What’s the matter with you?”

“People don’t die with a fever of one hundred and two. That’s a silly way to talk.”

“I know they do. At school in France the boys told me you can’t live with forty-four degrees. I’ve got a hundred and two.”

He had been waiting to die all day, ever since nine o’clock in the morning.

“You poor Schatz,” I said. “Poor old Schatz. It’s like miles and kilometers. You aren’t going to die. That’s different thermometer. One that thermometer thirty-seven is normal. One this kind it’s ninety-eight.”

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely,” I said, “It’s like miles and kilometers. You know, like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car?”

“Oh,” he said.

But his gaze at the foot of the bed relaxed slowly. The hold over himself relaxed too, finally, and the next day it was very slack(松弛的) and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.

56. The author writes about the doctor’s visit in order to _____________.

A. show the doctor’s knowledge about influenza and its treatment.

B. Show the boy’s illness was quite serious.

C. Create a situation of misunderstanding around which to build a story.

58. It can be inferred from the story that by the time the father gets home from hunting, it is___.

A. early in the afternoon B. close to evening

C. at noon D. late in the morning

B. he wanted to recover quickly so that he could go hunting with his father.

C. he was afraid that he would die if he lost control over himself

D. he thought he was going to die and he must show courage in the face of death

B. his father would go out hunting without him if he didn’t cry

C. something went wrong with his brain after the fever

D. he often complained about unimportant things as a spoiled boy

5 Golden Lessons from Steve Jobs

浙江省东阳市黎明补校2013届高三12月月考英语试题

61.____

The only limit of innovation is your imagination. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. It’s time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient, more customer-friendly, and easier to do business with. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!

62.____

Do what you love. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is “no”, keep looking, you’ll know when you find it.

63.____

There’s a phrase in Buddhism, “Beginner’s mind.” It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginner’s mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgments and prejudices. Think of beginner’s mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement.

64.____

I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. It’s very character-building. Don’t equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.

65.____

Don’t be trapped by the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. No doubt, it’s your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. So go ahead, give them a try.

Micro-blog has become more and more popular in China and part of our life. It is very convenient for people to express their feeling instantly at any time. Besides, it provides a chance for people to release their inner stress. By showing their heartfelt emotions on the microblog, their friends may also know about their condition and can offer timely response. However, microblog can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people’s privacy and other significant information. And sometimes it is a total waste of time. In my opinion, microblog provides us with some concerns as well as emotional comfort and large quantities of information, so we should be careful while using it.
