Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father?s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you?ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

“He won?t find out,” Mark said, “I?ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father?s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It?s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don?t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father?s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It?s a computer game. I knew it! Dad?s only been pretending to work. He?s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:

“ENTER NAMES VOYAGE １ VOYAGE ２

Mark?s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names. “INPUT ACCEPTED.

START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.

AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).” The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we?d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．

DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025

26. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father?s warning?

A. He wanted to take a voyage.

B. He wanted to practice his skills. D. He was eager to do an experiment.

C. He was so much attracted by it. 【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。由“But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.”这一句“Mark的好奇心难以控制而且这部新电脑真的使他很困惑。”可知Mark被它深深吸引了。故选C。

27. Where did the boy?s father most likely work?

A. In an electronic factory.

B. In a computer company. D. In an information processing center.

C.In a scientific research center. 【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。从第一段说Mark的目标是成为像他爸爸一样的科学家，以及第五段说电脑是从爸爸的实验室带回来的，可知爸爸是做科研工作的。后来电脑又把他们带到了火星可以推测他在科学研究中心工作。故选C。

28. Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.

A. a computer game

B. a company website D. an astronomy program

C.a software producer 【答案】Aks5u

【解析】细节理解题。由第六段“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It?s a computer game. ”可知Mark以为这是电脑游戏的名字。故选A.

29. Why did Jason want to shut off the computer? A. He was afraid of being scolded. C.He didn?t want to play games. 【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。由“Jason yelled out in terror,”可知他很恐惧，是害怕危险会发生。故选D。

A. They were blown into the air.

B. They were sent to another planet.

B. He didn?t like the loud noise and light.

D. He was afraid something dangerous might happen

C.They were hidden in the strong light. D. They were carried away to another country. 【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。结尾说孩子们不在那里了，屏幕显示：输送成功。且有“DESTINATION: MARS”得知他们被送往了火星。所以故事的结尾是男孩们被送去了另一个星球。故选B。

B

Every year many students went to the college bookstore to purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.

Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.

More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ?unreal? booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.

Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you must depend on the auction seller's timetable.

One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case.

Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.

31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. Learning to Save on Textbooks C.Online Shopping 【答案】A

【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要讲在线购书比去学校书店买更节省，最后一段还介绍了一种能免费获得教科书的节省的方法。所以本文主要讲在教科书方面怎样省钱。故选A. 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ? A. College bookstores. C.Online auctions. 【答案】Dks5u

【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲到A.College bookstores。第三段“Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books …...”提到了B（在线二手书）。第四段讲C.在线拍卖。但始终没提到D。

33. The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________. A. professionals and conservatives C.advantages and disadvantages 【答案】C

【解析】词义猜测题。“pros and cons” 指“正反两方面”，即“优点和缺点”。与C意思相同。 34. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________. A. a government project aimed at helping English majors B. a project to help poor students get free learning materials

C. a website for English majors to get the guides from language experts D.a website for students to get free sources for English learning 【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段“Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.”说明 “Project Gutenberg”是英语专业学生认为非常贵重的资源，学生可以在这儿合法地下载大量经典小说收藏。因此它是一个学生可以为英语学习获取免费资源的网站。故选D。

B. joy and sadness

B. Online used bookstores. D. Second-hand bookstore centres.

B. Why Buy Textbooks

D. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks

D. processes and conditions

35. From the passage, we can learn that__________.

A. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition B. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text books C. students should visit many websites before buying their books

D.students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision 【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段“It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.”说明听起来可能难以置信，但在某些情况下，教科书的费用即使不比大学学费多，也是持平的。故A不对。文章第四段“Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons.”说明在线拍卖也是有利有弊的，而不是完美的。故B错误。第三段“Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.”说价格不是网购唯一考虑的因素，学生在做决定之前也要考虑购物成本和交货时间。能看出学生在作出购买决定之前应该首要考虑购物成本和交货时间，但不是首要考虑的。故D错误。第三段“Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ?unreal? booksellers on the Net. ”说明学生应该避免在他们搜索到的第一个店购买教科书，因为网上有太多不真实的书商。所以在买书之前应该看许多网站，故C正确。

LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.

\anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.

These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.

The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every

fortnight.

The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. \with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.\

Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.

\they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with,\Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.

Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people \free of the past\

36. From this passage we know that________.

A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors

【解析】细节理解题。文章第二段“......holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.”说明心怀愤怒可能导致如高血压和心脏病之类的问题。所以没有仇恨，人们将有更少和血液心脏有关的麻烦。故选C。 37. If you are angry with somebody, you should________.

A. attend Hart?s course

B. never meet him or her any longer

C. persuade him or her to have a positive talk with you D.treat him or her positively instead of negatively 【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。通过文章第6段可知，如果你生某人的气，你应该以一种积极的态度去对待他（她），而不是消极的。

38. In Hart's first 20- week workshop, people there can ________.

A. meet their enemies

B. change their attitudes

D. learn how to quarrel with others

C.enjoy the professor's teaching

【答案】B

The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.

The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years? development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.

Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People?s food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.

Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.

These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag. 41. The best title for the passage would be “________”. A. Development of the National Flag C. Types of Flags 【答案】A

【解析】标题归纳题。“It is, rather, the product of thousands of years? development.”说明国旗是几千年发展的产物。而且整片文章从旗帜最初用于表示风向，一直讲到它演变为现代的旗帜。所以本文说的是国旗的发展。故选A。

42. The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 means ________. A. impossible to make sure of C. easy to be damaged 【答案】C

【解析】词义猜测题。本段第一句“Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats.”说早期人类使用非常易坏的的房屋和船只。而本句 “People?s food supplies were similarly vulnerable.” 中“similarly”意为“同样地”，所以\”也表示“易损坏”。故选C。 43. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because ________. A. they could tell direction

B. they could bring good luck to ancient fighters C. they were handed down by the ancestors D. they were believed to stand for natural forces

B. likely to be protected D. difficult to find

B. Power of the National Flag D. Uses of Flags

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。本段第一句“Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods,……”“用一块布系到标杆顶部来判断风向比早期的办法更可靠。”因此，最早的旗帜与天的力量有关。故选D。 44. What does the author know of the first national flag? A. He knows when it was sent to Europe. B. He believes it was made in Egypt. C. He thinks it came from China. D. He doubts where it started. 【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。最后一段“The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked.。”说明第一个国家的旗帜未被标明，所以作者不知道第一面国旗是从哪儿诞生的。 45. What will the author most probably talk about next? A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag. B. The second ancestor of the national flag. C. The use of modern flags in Europe. D. The importance of modern flags. 【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。结尾处“This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.”说明中国国王树立旗帜的做法遍及到了贸易行路，通过印度，穿过阿拉伯大陆，最终到达欧洲。在那与另一个国旗的原型结合。所以，接下来最可能讨论的是过国旗的第二个始祖。故选B。 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下列新闻和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。 首先请阅读下列新闻：

A． “Better road design and training hold the key to cycle safety”, the new Transport Secretary

said today as he pledged to restore Britain?s safety record. Patrick McLoughlin told Conservative Party Conference that while cycling was enjoying a post-Olympics boom, the number of casualties among cyclists was also rising. “But the number of accidents has

gone up too. That means it needs better design and better education too.” Mr McLoughlin said in his first speech as Transport Secretary.

B. Cycling in the UK will become safer through “sheer weight of numbers,” the founder of one

of the world?s leading cycle brands has said as he backed The Times?s Cyclesafe campaign. Simon Mottram, founder and chief executive of Rapha, has added his support to 40 cross-party MPs who have signed a letter urging David Cameron to use his speech at the Conservative Party Conference to promote measures to make the streets safer for cyclists. C. Commuters who cycle to work face an increased danger as the casualty toll during peak

hours rose by 10 percent last year. The rate at which cyclists were killed or seriously injured rose sharply last year, official figures showed yesterday.

D. In future decades, Londoners will look back on the way cyclists jostled with buses and

lorries on major roads as an absurd anachronism. Some risks are unavoidable. But other risks survive only because we are too slow to embrace bold solutions. That is the message from designers who are proposing an ambitious plan to create cycle lanes suspended above London?s busiest streets. London is one of the most dangerous places in the world for cycling. “SkyCycle” would remedy that problem by attaching dedicated cycle paths to existing railway viaducts.

E. Money should be apportioned from the funding for major transport projects, such as the new

Forth Crossing, to create a pot of cash for cycling, campaigners have told MSPs. Cycle groups have given warning that not enough money is being put into routes and promotion. They want the Scottish government to take a percentage of the funding allocated to key national projects and create an “active transport” fund to be distributed gradually. F. We?d like you to tell us why you love cycling by sending a photo of yourself, a family

member or friend with their bike and a note about why it is so brilliant. To take part, instagram your photo with the hashtag #ilovemybike or email it to us at ilovemybike@thetimes.co.uk. We?ll post the best pictures here ilovemybike.tumblr.com. 请阅读以下信息，并为他们匹配合适的新闻内容。 46. “Cycle lanes in the sky” answer to traffic danger 【答案】D

【解析】“Cycle lanes in the sky” answer to traffic danger。意为“‘天空中的自行车道’可解

决交通危险。”词句与D中的“‘SkyCycle’would remedy that problem by attaching dedicated cycle paths to existing railway viaducts.”想切合。 47．More cyclists are seriously injured on Britain?s roads 【答案】C

【解析】“More cyclists are seriously injured on Britain?s roads。”意为“在英国道路上，更多骑自行车的人受重伤。”而C中“The rate at which cyclists were killed or seriously injured rose sharply last year, official figures showed yesterday.”表明官方数据显示，去年骑自行车者的死亡及受重伤比率急剧增加。这两句话表达意思相同，故选C。

48. Share a picture of you and your bike and help us promote the fun and freedom of cycling 【答案】F

【解析】“Share a picture of you and your bike and help us promote the fun and freedom of cycling”表示“分享你和你的自行车的照片来帮助我们提升骑自行车的乐趣和自由。”这与F中提到的分享照片相吻合。故选F。 49. “Weight of numbers” will bring safe cycling 【答案】B

【解析】“……has added his support to 40 cross-party MPs who have signed a letter urging David Cameron to use his speech at the Conservative Party Conference to promote measures to make the streets safer for cyclists.”说明这能使街道对于骑自行车者来说更安全。 50. Transport Secretary calls for better road design and training to help cyclists 【答案】A

【解析】A中第一句，“Better road design and training hold the key to cycle safety”, the new Transport Secretary said today as he pledged to restore Britain?s safety record. 新的交通部秘书长在承诺恢复英国安全记录时说：“更好的道路设计和整治，是控制自行车安全的关键。”可见，“Transport Secretary calls for better road design and training to help cyclists”交通秘书长呼吁更好的道路设计和整治来帮助骑自行车的人们。

Around twenty years ago I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. With rich experience and a Master?s degree, to my shame, I could only drive a school bus to make ends meet.

Later that afternoon, I dropped off a little girl in a quiet suburban neighborhood. As she passed she handed me an earring, saying I should keep it in case somebody claimed it. The earring was painted black and said 'BE HAPPY'. It hit me. I had been putting all of my energies into what was wrong with my life rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a list of 50 things I was grateful for. At first it was hard, then it got easier. One day I decided to up it to 75.

My life was completely changed. I know that it was because I changed my attitude to gratitude, which is the key to happiness.

I spent the next year conducting training workshops all around the Seattle area and then

decided to risk everything and go back to Scotland where I had lived previously. I closed my one man business, bought a plane ticket and got a six month visa. One month later I met my wonderful English wife and best friend of 15 years now. We live in a small beautiful cottage, two miles from a paved road in the highlands of Scotland. 【写作内容】

第一节 基础写作（共1小题，满分15分） A possible version:

A survey on private tutoring was carried out among the students in our school last month, which indicates that about 25% of the students have private tutors for a variety of reasons. Most of them choose to have private tutoring at weekends or during holidays. Some of the students believe that private tutors enable them to raise academic achievement. Others think it takes up so much of their free time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment.

In my opinion, some students may become too dependent on their tutors, which will weaken their learning abilities.

第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

概括应该包括以下要点： 1、作者一直觉得生活不顺利； 2、女孩给他earring，让他等失主；

3、他意识到：对生活心存感激才会享受到幸福。 One possible version:

Being a school bus driver, the author has been feeling unsatisfied with his life until the girl gave him the “BE HAPPY” earring, which was waiting for its owner. He learned that being grateful will lead to happiness. (37)

Actually, I experienced great happiness last weekend when my parents came from home to meet me for a dinner. With heavy schoolwork in Senior Three, I have been staying in school for nearly one month, just talking to my parents on the phone occasionally. Last weekend, I almost cried saying I missed them so much and they promised to see me at weekend. When the bell rang, I rushed to the school gate where I knew my parents were waiting for me. We had a big hug and hand in hand walked into a restaurant nearby for dinner. We ate chatting and laughing, greatly relieving my anxiety. I was the luckiest and happiest girl at that time. Thank you! Love you both, Mum and Dad!

In my opinion, being grateful is absolutely the road leading to happiness. I thank my parents for their bringing me up and driving a long way to see me from home. I enjoyed the happiness of staying with them. As to the author, he didn?t sense the fragrance of happiness until he changed his attitude and was grateful to his existing life. So, be grateful before enjoying your happiness!
