Belt has worked for National Geographic since 1978, and has taken pictures on almost every continent in the world. In fact, Antarctica is the only continent Belt hasnt seen yet.Belts photographs are well known for their beauty and high quality. They also reflect very different cultures and regions of the world. Belt has photographed the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, as well as the green landscapes of the Lake District in England. Recently, her pictures appeared in a book about undeveloped natural places in North America.Everywhere that Belt goes, she takes pictures of people. Belt has found ways to connect with people of all ages and nationalities even when she does not speak their language. “The greatest privilege of my job is being allowed into peoples lives,” she has said. “The camera is like a passport, and I am often overwhelmed by how quickly people welcome me!”Knowing how to break the ice has helped to make Belt a successful photographer, but experts say that anyone can learn to connect with new people. When people speak the same language, greetings and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other. When people dont speak the same language, a smile is very helpful. Having something in common can also help break the ice. For example, Belt has traveled with her two children, so when she takes pictures of children or their parents, they all have that family connection in common. Even bad weather can help people to connect when they are experiencing it together.Belt has some advice if you are thinking about a career in photography. You can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization that cant afford to hire a professional photographer. You can also take a good, honest look at your best photographs. If youre a real photographer, your photos are good because of your personal and technical skills. Belt also recommends studying and learning from photos taken by professional photographers.Remember, the next time you look at a beautiful photograph, you might be looking at the work of Annie Griffiths Belt. And the next time you meet a new person, dont be afraid to break the ice. The connection you make could be very rewarding.16. Belt has never traveled to England.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned17.

The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.2. The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly, including the United States, last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.3. For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.4. The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.5. The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. So far, 109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it. A. What the FCTC DemandsB. US Signing of the FCTCC. Opposition to the FCTCD. How the FCTC Came into BeingE. What the FCTC Will Bring aboutF. Ratification of the FCTC23. Paragraph 1 24. Paragraph 2 25. Paragraph 3 26. Paragraph 4 A. have ratified itB. approving itC. implement its provisionsD. restrict smoking in public placesE. caused by tobacco useF. including higher tobacco taxes27. Signing the FCTC is only the first step toward .28. Countries that ratify the FCTC will have to, among other things, .29. It is hoped that the FCTC will greatly help to reduce deaths .30. Much more countries have signed the FCTC than those that . 第4部分：阅读理解（第31-45题，每题3分，共45分）下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。第一篇Musical Robot Companion Enhances Listener Experience31.

A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people whove just eaten.Psychologists have known for decades that whats going on inside our head affects our senses. For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. Remi Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brains high-level thinking processes get involved.Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass index. On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten.For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were food-related. After each word, each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words theyd seen a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it.Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food-related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in thinking processes, Radel says.“This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of 6 our motives and needs,” Radel says. 36. What does the new study mentioned in Paragraph 1 find?A. Hungry people see every word more clearly than ordinary people.B. Hungry people are always thinking of food-related words.C. Hungry people are more sensitive to food-related words than stomach-full people.D. Hungry people do not have lower-level of thinking process.37. Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment?A. Because hungry people needed time to fill their stomach.B. Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testees, hungry and non-hungry.C. Because noon was not the right time for any experiment.D. Because Radel needed time to select participants in terms of body mass index.38. What does the writer want to tell us?A. Humans senses arent just delivering a strict view of whats going on in the world.B. Whats perceived by our senses affects our way of thinking.C. Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.D. Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses.39. What did the results of the experiment indicate?A. 80 words flashed on the screen too fast for the participant to intentionally perceive.B. Hungry people were better at identifying neutral words.C. People who had just eaten were better at identifying food-related words.D. The participants could barely perceive what they needed or what they strived for.40. What can we infer from the passage?A. 42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation.B. An experiment with hungry and non-hungry participants is not reliable.C. Our thinking processes are independent of our senses.D. Humans can perceive what they need without involving high-level thinking processes. 第三篇Making Light of SleepAll we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock, your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian rhythm, helps control when you wake, when you eat and when you sleep.Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you its time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your bodys clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud when they dont get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence, RI. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes.Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the bodys clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see.But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether its day or night. 41. The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock becauseA. it controls when we wake, when we eat and when we sleep.B. it has a cycle of 24 hours.C. it is a cycle also called circadian rhythm.D. it can alarm any time during 24 hours.42. What is implied in the second paragraph?A. Young childrens biological clock has the same rhythm with that of the teenagers.B. People after puberty begin to go to bed earlier due to the change of the biological clock.C. Children before puberty tend to fall asleep earlier at night than adolescents.D. Teenagers go to bed later than they used to due to the light from the computer screen.43. In the third paragraph the author wants to tell the reader thatA. it is natural for teenagers to stay up late and get up late.B. staying up late has a bad effect on teenagers ability to think and learn.C. during puberty most teenagers experience a kind of gray cloud.D. it is hard for teenagers to get out of bed in the morning.44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?A. Our biological clock resets itself automatically.B. Light gets through our eyes and resets our biological clock.C. Our internal clock as well as the alarm clock can be reset automatically.D. Our internal clock, like the alarm clock, can be reset.45. According to the last two paragraphs, what did the previous researchers think about the human eyes light-sensing system?A. The human eye had two light-sensing systems.B. The human eye had one light-sensing system.C. The human eye could sense the light of day more quickly than the dark of night.D. The human eye could reset our internal clocks in accordance with the alarm clocks.第5部分：补全短文（第46-50题，每题2分，共10分）下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章面貌。Teamwork in TourismGrowing cooperation among branches of tourism has proved valuable to all concerned.

The dramatic decline in vulture numbers is causing widespread disruption to people living in the same areas as the birds. It is also causing serious public health problems across the Indian sub-continent.While their reputation and appearance may be unpleasant to many Indians, vultures have long played a very important role in keeping towns and villages all over India clean. It is because they feed on dead cows. In India, cows are sacred animals and are traditionally left in the open when they die in their thousands upon thousands every year.The disappearance of the vultures has led to an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs feeding on the remains of these dead animals. There are fears that rabies may increase as a result. And this terrifying disease may ultimately affect humans in the region, since wild dogs are its main carriers. Rabies could also spread to other animal species, causing an even greater problem in the future.The need for action is urgent, so an emergency project has been launched to find a solution to this serious vulture problem. Scientists are trying to identify the disease causing the birds deaths and, if possible, develop a cure.Large-scale vulture deaths were first noticed at the end of the 1980s in India. A population survey at that time showed that the three species of vultures had declined by over 90 per cent. All three species are now listed as “critically endangered”. As most vultures lay only single eggs and take about five years to reach maturity, reversing their population decline will be a long and difficult exercise.参考答案第1部分：词汇选项1-5 AADDB 6-10 CBDAA 11-15 ACBDA第2部分：阅读判断16-22 BACABAA第3部分：概括大意与完成句子23-26 BDAE 27-30 BDEA第4部分：阅读理解31-35 BDDAB 36-40 CBCAD 41-45 BCBCB第5部分：补全短文46-50 CBFEA第6部分：完形填空51-55 ACBDB 56-60 CADBA 61-65 BDCDA第14页/共14页
