The difference is not what clothes I wear or the music I listen too, but what I feel inside.Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling. I woke up every Saturday to watch my favorite Superstars. As I grew older, I got a lot of flak for watching this fake sport. My peers would laugh at me for following what was called a mans soap opera. So, I put my love for wrestling on the shelf. Like everyone else, I wanted to be associated with the cool clique. I yearned to be invited to the parties of the in-crowd and hang out with the popular kids. I became pretty successful. Although my Friday evenings were busy with parties, I would still wake up early Saturdays to watch wrestling. It wasnt until freshman year that I realized I wasnt being myself.That year, I tried many new things and activities and made new friends. In my town, football was the sport, so I decided to play football, thinking it might give me a head start in popularity. The team started with 48 athletes. At the end, there were 14 of us left. I stuck it out not because I liked it, but because I am not a quitter. That long season taught me a lesson: I wasnt a football player. More importantly, it taught me to be myself.After that season, I went back to being a wrestling fan. I watched it religiously, no matter what insults were thrown my way. I came across a quote: Dont Dream It, Be It. When I read this, my friend Dan had the same idea I had. What if we build a wrestling ring? we asked. We acquired the necessary wood and equipment for its construction. The following weekend, we met at his house. We saw our dream in a pile in his backyard. We worked from dawn to dusk to build our great establishment. By Sunday night, our mission was complete. Our hard work (combined with a little creativity) had paid off. We had a real ring. We decided to hold an event. We practiced for hours, trying to improve every aspect of our wrestling ability. The date was May 24th. Our show had a start time of 9: 00 p.m. To our surprise, about one hundred family, friends and fans showed up to support us. It was the most important night of my life and a complete success. Since that time, we have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people turning out. We continue to live this dream. We accomplished what we set out to do. We are now well known throughout school. When I walk down the halls, I am respected by my peers. Some are the same peers who ridiculed me for watching wrestling when I was younger. When they approach me, they often say, Good match, Chris. I humbly say, Thank you, knowing I did something I believed in.As my senior year winds down, Ill remember all of my high school memories. But what will stick out most is the memory that I did something I loved, despite what everyone said or thought. I accomplished my goal . I lived my dream. 41.

This has caused them serious physical and mental damage,” Li said on his mieroblog at W, the countrys most popular social media site, on Saturday. Li, 42, is a mechanics major but is best known for his “Crazy English,” a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of ones lungs.He was at the center of public criticism after his wife Kim Lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse, showing her swollen forehead and knees.VoicesXuemanzi, angel investorAnti-domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible, giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully. Police should not stand back from domestic violence any longer, even if no one reports them. Society, as a whole, should attach greater importance to the crime.ZhangxiaomeiChinese are never taught about marital(婚姻的) relations, which mean not merely living together. A good marriage needs to overcome three differences: family background, gender and personalities. In addition to these, there is cultural gap in Li Yangs case. If the effects of these differences are not well understood, after the honeymoon period, they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage. Lis domestic violence is a reminder that China needs such education.Wuxiaolong, Sina Weibo userLi Yangs choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character. Students who have attended his Crazy English Camp may know what I mean: Li wants his students to worship him as an idol. I still remember he once had his students kowtow to him. He always teaches English by imposition(权威强制), which directly reflects his desire for power.Sikaozhe, Sina Weibo userIn the US, the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than strealing. If the police arrive at the wifes call during a fighting between a couple nd find injuries on her, they will immediately arrest the husband. Even if the wife doesnt call the police, they may also show up as neighbors could well do their part.ykxin Sina Weibo UserDont blindly worship anyone, because in every closet there may hide a skeleton. As a famous Chinese saying goes, “Only they who do well in their daily routine tasks can fulfills their dreams on great occasions”. Not surprisingly, one who focuses too much on his career and ignores his family, like Li Yang, will fail in both. Dont judge a person by his career success, wealth, or any other material aspect, because what finally decides a person is his character.Aftermath(余波)Although Li Yang publicly apologized to his wife, promising to love his daughters even if he and Lee divorce, the damage, perhaps permanently, has been done to his wife, his three daughters and the whole family.Wang Xingjuan, founder of the Maple Womens Psychological Consulting Center, a non-profit organization, said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are people who have higher education, senior jobs and social status. She said this was probably because such people were usually under more mental stress.46This passage is focused on Li Yangs .AEnglish-teaching careerBinternational marriageCmicroblog articleDdomestic violence47Zhangxiaomei holds the view that .Alaws should be passed to protect women and childrenBcrazy personality accounts for violence and ill temperCovercoming background gap is necessary for marriageDLi is wrong to have his students worship him as an idol48Who thinks that character plays the most important role in ones life?AXuemanziBWuxiaolongCSikaozheDykxin49According to Wang Xingjuan, .Apeople under stress lend to have domestic violenceBpeople of higher education wont easily lose temperCpeople in lower social status often beat their wivesDpeople with senior jobs seldom have family troubleC（摘自温州中学月考）Going to school means learning new skills and facts in such subjects as reading, math, science, history, art or music. Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both the teaching and learning processes.Some researchers, such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine, are trying to learn about learning. Beilock and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago. Psychologists study the ways people think and behave, and these researchers want to know how a persons thoughts and behavior are related.In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.“If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,” Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learnand teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word “anxiety” to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry. (Many people, for example, have anxiety about going to the dentist because theyre worried about pain.)The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first- and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teachers anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at mathand all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.According to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math. Plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women, Levine said.This study was small, and its often difficult to see large patterns in small studies, David Geary told Science News. Geary, a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, studies how children learn math. “This is an interesting study, but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,” Geary said. That means that the results are just showing something that might be happening, but more studies should be done. If more studies find the same trend as this one, then its possible that a teachers anxiety over math really is affecting her female students.50. Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to _. A. know the effects of teaching on learning B. study students ways of learning mathC. prove women teachers are unfit to teach math D. find better teaching methods for teachers51. The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means that girls may _. A. end up learning math with anxiety from their teachers B. study the ways their female teachers behaveC. have an influence on their math-anxious female teachers D. gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math52. In the study, what were the teachers required to do? A. Prepare two math achievement tests for the students. B. Tell their feelings about math problems. C. Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy. D. Compare the students scores after the math tests.53. What is the finding of the new study? A. No male students were affected by their teachers anxiety. B. Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys. C. About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls. D. Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. 117 students and teachers took part in the new study. B. The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study. C. Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math. D. Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers.第二节：美国长大的台湾人气歌手Wang Lee Hom在接受CNN Talk Asia栏目专访时，回答了主持人Lorraine Hahn提出的五个问题（第6165题）。请从下列提问（A、 B、C、D、E和F）中选出与他的回答相匹配的问题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。（选自台州市 2011学年第一学期高三年级期末质量评估试题）A.

How do you divide your time in acting and music?F. What gave you the idea to start the studios in the first place?Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects around Asia. He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia.61. _WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. Its beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I dont think anyone has ever done this before in the hip hop world. 62. _ WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And its really exciting so I decided that Im going to need a studio in New York. Im going to need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.63. _WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know. Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then Ive been enjoying doing movies. I dont think Im much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every day you get called and youre surrounded by other actors and creative people.64. _WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was likeI didnt know I could make this happen. I didnt know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence. And I dont want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs confidence.65. _WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it and a blog. In the entertainment news, theres a recent trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet and saying “Oh, so and so saw so and so.” when they see a blog. You know, its completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title of the newspaper article. 第二节 书面表达(满分30分) （改编自浙江省金华十校2012届高三上学期期末考试）请根据右边的图片，写一篇短文，内容包括：1描述漫画内容； 2说出其中的寓意；3发表你的观点。注意：1可适当增添内容，使文章层次分明，行文连贯。2字数120左右。3开头语已为你写好（不计入总字数） High expectations harm a childAs is shown in the picture above，_英语参考答案及评分标准第二部分：阅读理解第一节共20小题；每小题2分。4145DCCBA 4649DCDA 5054BABCB 第二节共5小题；每小题2分。6165 BFCAD第三部分：写作 第二节：书面表达（满分30分）High expectations harm a childAs is shown in the picture above，the parents hold a bar over their heads excitedly, urging their child to jump it over while the child stares at the bar blankly. Perhaps, parents do this with good intentions, but the results are quite different.Such is the case with us in our daily life. Parents today are setting too high expectations for their children. Surely high expectations serve as a necessary drive for children to improve, but sometimes going fast is as bad as falling short. When the goals are far beyond their reach, childrens interest and self-confidence may suffer seriously, which can do great harm to character-building. So its time for the parents to adjust their standards and tell their children how proud they are of him for whatever he has achieved. 书面表达评分原则： 1上文仅为参考范文，学生可用不同的语言表达形式来表述要点。内容必须包括三个部分：描述，寓意和观点。2本题总分为30分，按以下5个档次给分。评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。第一档：(16分)只能写出一两个要点；语言错误很多，只有个别句子正确；第二档：(712分)能写出部分要点；语言错误多，影响意思表达；第三档：(1318分)能写明基本要点；语言虽有较多错误，但能基本达意；第四档：(1924分)能写明全部或绝大部分要点；语言有少量错误；行文不够连贯，表达基本清楚；第五档：(2530分)能写明全部要点：语言基本无误；行文连贯，表达清楚。 3词数少于80的，从总分中减去2分。 4评分时，应注意的主要内容为：时态、人称、内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的数量和准确性、上下文的连贯性及语言的得体性。 5拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。6如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。
