My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they had met each other. The 31 of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They 32 leaving “shmily” around the house, and 33 one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more.

Passage 1
As one of China’s most popular and widely known legend, the story of Monkey King is set to return to screens with 3D effects. It may feature many of the same leading actors from the earliest 1986 TV series Journey to the West, according to the producer. The TV drama, with a total
investment of 150 million yuan, will be aired on SichuanTV. Almost 90 million yuan has been put into 3D effects with each 45-minute episode containing eight minutes of 3D. “The 3D effects not only cost us a lot of money but also a lot of time,” director KanWeiping said. “We had to put off its broadcasting time, which was set at first this summer.” Passage 2
The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun, while providing safer driving conditions along with power. American inventors of the Solar Road said that it will power itself ,and reduce the country’s carbon marks. Many panels are fixed on the Solar Road. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of glass and the inventors are working together with top glass researchers to develop super strong glass that would offer vehicles pulling power they need. The Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and, therefore, electric vehicles can be recharged at any rest stop, or at any business that uses solar road panels in their parking lots. Such parking lots will be safer at night with the light provided by LED within the road panels. The inventors say their solar roadway has many applications and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths and runways. 51. What’s Passage 1 mainly about?
A. The origin of the story about Monkey King.

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn’t even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, filled with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it
is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge. But it’s not just what goes up matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh” or “water of life”; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best known drink: whisky. 55. What is Ben Nevis special for?
A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel . B. The beauty of its surroundings. C. The water from the mountain. D. The challenge up to its top. 56.The story of Queen Victoria is to show that ___________________________.
A. the queen is rich in tour experience B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing D.1873 is a special year for the queen 57. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By giving descriptions. B. By following time order. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons. 58. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists. B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland. D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.
C
Big Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship. It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable (易受影响的) young people (ages 7-17) with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.
Volunteer tutors come from all walks of life-married, single, with or without children. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers. They are tutors: someone to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.
A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months. They enjoy simple activities such as a picnic at a park, cooking, playing sport or going to a football match. These activities improve the friendship and help the young person develop positive self-respect, confidence and life direction.
Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations exist throughout the world. It is the large and most well-known provider of tutor services internationally and has been operating for 25 years.
Emily and Sarah have been matched since 2008. Emily is a 10-year-old girl who has experienced some difficulties being accepted by her schoolmates at school. “ I was pretty sure there was something wrong with me.”
Emily’s mum came across Big Brothers Big Sisters and thought it would be of benefit to Emily by providing different feedback(反馈) about herself other than just relying on schoolmates to measure her self-worth.
Sarah wanted to get involved in a volunteer program. “I googled it and found out how to be
a part of it. I thought it would be fun for me to get involved in making time to do something because sometimes it is all work and no play.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters has been of great benefit and enjoyment to both Emily and Sarah. They love and look forward to their time together and the partnership has certainly helped Emily be more comfortable in being the wonderful, happy and unique girl she is!
59．What is the aim of Big Brothers Big Sisters? A. To offer students public services． B. To help students improve their grades． C. To organize sport activities for young people． D. To provide partnership and fun for young people．
60．According to Emily’s mother, this program may provide Emily with ______________． A．advice from her teachers B．a new way to assess herself C．a new way to judge her schoolmates D．more comments from her schoolmates 61．According to the passage, “vulnerable young people” are probably those who are _________. A．popular at school B．rather weak physically C．easily hurt emotionally D．confident in themselves 62．A volunteer is usually expected to work within a year for at least ______． A．24 hours B．36 hours C．48 hours D．72 hours

When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love, marriage, birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)
My definition for happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us-it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the
skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.
63. People who equal happiness with wealth and success
A. consider pressure something blocking their way B. stress the right to happiness too much C. are at a loss to make correct choices D. are more likely to be happy 64. As people grow older, they
A. feel it harder to experience happiness B. associate their happiness less with others C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness 65. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?
A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness. B. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’ case. C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings. D. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life. 66. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative B. Each man is the master of his own fate C. Success leads to happiness D. Happy is he who is content
E Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects’ hard outer shells. The material’s inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp('虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk.”It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic’s toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and’60s. Decades later, however, plastic’s very durability(耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components（组成部分） are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer
cases and other products inside the home. They’re even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties (性能). 67. What has become a concern about plastic? A. Using it properly. B. Producing it cheaply. C. Developing its properties quickly. D. Evaluating its contributions fairly. 68. What are the inventors doing in the lab? A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk. B. Testing shrilk’s use in wet conditions.
C. Making shrilk out of used household goods.
D. Improving shrilk’s flexibility for medical purposes.
69. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_____. A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are abundant in nature 70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Recent Progress in Environmental Protection B. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research C. The Harm of One-time Products D. A Possible Alternative to Plastic

company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I would do it. Now my time is my own. I open the store want and leave when I want. W: You mean you don't keep regular hours?
M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up
and take off early.
W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?
M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It's
great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers. W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.

21. A 考查名词辨析。句意：在我看来，乞丐与流浪汉是有区别的，因为后者从来不牺牲自己的尊严来博取别人的同情。distinction “区别；差别”符合题意。distribution “分布；分配”； accommodation “住所；住宿”；conservation “保存；保护”。
22. C考查名词辨析。句意：俄国总统弗拉基米尔·普京和妻子柳德米拉离婚了，不过他表示对柳德米拉充满感激，过去那些年她的陪伴是无可代替的。substitute “代替者；代替品” 符合题意。qualification “资格；资历”；arrangement “安排；排列”；privilege “特权；优待”。 23. B 考查动词辨析。句意：因为对人们生活有负面影响，人肉搜索应该被取消。abandon “放弃，；抛弃”符合题意；replace “代替；取代”；appoint “委派；任命”；simplify “简化”。
24. B考查动词辨析。句意：据说，一个人的音乐品味体现着他的个性 —— 他所听的音乐反映了他如何看待这个世界。reflect “反映；思考”符合题意；approve “批准；同意”； contradict “驳斥；冲突”；operate “操作；手术”。
25. C 考查动词短语。句意：哇！天终于放晴了！希望好天气能够持续到周六的网球赛。keep up “保持；继续”符合题意; turn up “出现；开大音量”；team up “合作；结成一队”；break up “分解；破裂”。

27. C考查形容词辨析。句意：不管一些自然资源有多么丰富，它们都不可再生，最终一定会枯竭的。abundant “丰富的；充足的”符合题意，并与下文run out形成对比；distant “遥远的”；awesome “令人敬畏的”；relevant “相关的”。

31. B 前后文都有提示，我的祖父母经常一起玩一种游戏。这里介绍游戏目标。 32. D 因为是两人之间藏纸条、找纸条的游戏，需要“轮流”藏、找才能进行。
33. C 根据游戏规则，一人找到纸条后即开始下一轮游戏，故选择表示时间的as soon as。 34. B 纸条藏好后，从不同的地方被“发现/找到”。
35. D 程度副词fully表示“充分地、十分地”，修饰appreciate。注意区别accurately “精确地、准确地”。 36. A 句式结构keep … from doing…意为“阻止某人做„„；让某人不能做„„”。我的怀疑态度使我不敢相信真爱。
37. B 这里relationship指的是true love between my grandparents。下文亦有提示：Their relationship was based on…。
38. B 这种珍贵的情感不是每个人都“有幸”经历到的。
39. C 本句中a dark cloud意思是“阴影、不幸”，也就是我奶奶身患癌症的事情。 40. A 在祖母患病期间祖父给予她的是“陪伴(be with her)”和“安慰 (comfort)”。 41. A 疾病来袭用attack.
42. B 前一句说到虽然疾病发作但祖母在祖父的帮助下还是维持的正常的生活，但后一句说的是祖母的状况每况愈下直至不能出门，故前后存在转折关系。
43. C 祖父的祈祷当然是希望上帝“照管、保佑”自己的妻子。
44. D 从下文Grandma was gone可以看出我们一直害怕的事“发生”了。 45. A 由常识可知是在葬礼的花圈上写有“Shmily”这样的字眼。
46. B 由下文the last mourner turned to leave可知The crowd thinned指的是参加葬礼的人群渐渐散去。thin作动词意为“变薄、变少”。
47. C take a deep breath意为“深深地吸一口气”。take measures “采取措施”；take a risk “冒险”。take不与decision搭配。
48. C 动词come这里表示某事的发生，又如：His death came as a shock to us all.
49. B 我永远忘不了的是葬礼上祖父送别祖母的“那一刻”，不是整个葬礼的“仪式、场合”。 50. D 我有幸见证了他们爱情的无与伦比的美。be privileged to do …“有幸做某事”。
51.B 主旨大意题。第一篇短文主要讲述电视剧《西游记》将以3D的形式重返电视荧屏。因此我们可以看
到3D版的美猴王。故答案为B。
52.C 细节判断题。由第一篇短文中的最后一句话可推知答案。其它三项均不符合文意。
53.A 推理判断题。第二篇短文简介了“the Solar Roadway”这种新型、环保、高科技公路的概念、构成及与
传统概念公路相比较的优势。故可推知作者认为其发展前景应该很光明。
54.D 推理判断题。通读整个第二篇短文，尤其由其中的一些关键词，如Solar、renewable energy、panel、
inventors、super-strong glass以及LED可知该篇文章最有可能出自一篇科技报道。故答案为D。 55. C 最后一段先描写该地的山势地形，然后落到了“水”上。高山泉水（盖尔语里的“生命之水”）造就了举
世闻名的苏格兰威士忌。
56. B. 第一段是提纲挈领介绍苏格兰高地威廉堡的两大不可错过的事，而列举维多利亚女王的事例，完全
是为了说明威廉堡是个好地方，而且，女王甚至还没有体会垂钓之乐，都写下了“I never saw a lovelier spot ”，可见该地确实是值得去的好地儿。
57. A. 这道题考得很新颖，是从写作手法入手来出题。A：“描写”；B：“按照时间顺序书写”；C：“分析原因”；
D：“作比较的写作手法”。第二段写的是威廉堡的渔趣，是描写手法。
58. B。除了C项“探究苏格兰地理特征”和A项“介绍苏格兰风俗”错得比较明显，其他2个就要仔细比较了。
注意这两个单词：B项的“show the attraction”，D项的“describe”。表面上作者确是在描写苏格兰生活的悠闲生活，并非只是描写生活在苏格兰的乐趣而已。更深层次的目的是：他分别用了两段、浓墨重彩给游人介绍两个威廉堡最独特的吸引：渔趣和泉水酿的酒。这两个事、物是如此独特，足以让威廉堡与众
不同。所以想及此，果断选了B，证明判断正确。
59. D 根据文章第一段第二句“It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable young
people…”可知，这个“这一个通过让成人陪伴一些内心比较脆弱的孩子来提供友谊和乐趣”。A选项是说提供学生公共服务；B选项说帮助学生提高分数；C给年轻人组织体育活动；D给年轻人提供友情和乐趣。所以选D
60. B 根据文章第六段第一句“by providing different feedback about herself other than just…”可以得知：这个项
目可以提供Emily的妈妈一些关于她孩子不同的反馈，而不是仅仅只依赖同学的评价来评估Emily的自我价值。选B：一个评估Emily的新方法。
61. C 推理判断题 解析：由文章的第一段可知这个项目可以为这些孩子提供玩伴和乐趣。再由文章的第三
段可以得知，这个项目可以为孩子们提高自尊，自信和生活方向。再由文章的第五段可以得知，Emily在学校很难被同学接受。综上分析，可以得出vulnerable young people是C：情感上容易受挫折的孩子。 62. B 根据文章第三段第一句可知：志愿者要每年至少参加12个月，每个月三道四次，每次花一到四小时。
所以可以得出，志愿者一年之内最少要工作12*3*1=36小时。
63. B根据第八段We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal
it with wealth and success without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier，可知答案为B。
64. A 根据文章第一段话which seems to get rarer the older we get “随着年龄的增大，幸福会越来越少”，可
知答案为A。
65. D 作者用了I don’t think that my grandmother…had much of either来否定了心理学家的看法，故选D。 66. D 最后一段就阐述了如何获得幸福：在逆境中找到积极的因素以及知足常乐。据此可知选D。 67. A 第二段主要讲塑料的耐用性而向我们提出了它的使用问题。其他答案明显排除：答案B“廉价生产”；
C “快速开发它的特性”；D “公正评价它的贡献”。
68. B 从最后一段第二句可知：这种材料受潮时变得很有弹性，所以，发明者正在探索在潮湿环境中的使用
方法。
69. D 第四段：生产Shrilk的材料大自然中非常丰富…。和答案D “它的原材料在大自然中非常丰富”一致。 70. D 主题概括：一种可能的塑料替代物。
书面表达：
One possible version:
There are so many Apple fans in China, and it seems a fashion. As is shown in the picture, when iPad2 was first released, thousands of them crowded to get one.
However, iPad2, which costs thousands of dollars, is nothing but a tool for surfing the Internet and entertaining. Apple fans around me use iPad2 to play games only. They have spent so much money on such a device to idle away their time. It surely isn’t worth the money.
There are many reports about young people, especially university students, who take great efforts, and even lifelong costs, to obtain an Apple product of their own as a fashion. I’m not against people going after fashions. But we should be aware whether the fashion is of any value, or worth our efforts and even sufferings. What’s more, fashions sometimes change so quickly that immediately we catch them, we are left behind.
As a young man, I believe it makes far more sense to find pleasure in pursuing something meaningful.
