Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and research into their background and environment. Then predict their chances for the future. The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling (汇编) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in prison. Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the same area. Some of the boys by then men were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison. Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding (滋生) place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The researchers were continually told: “Well, there was a teacher.” They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted (发挥) this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remembered her? “No,” she said, “no I really couldn't.” And then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners: “I loved those boys.” 56. What were a group of graduate students instructed to do? A. To research into the living conditions of the poor citizens. B. To foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids C. To study 200 boys in the slums between 12 to 16 and predict their future. D. To survey the background and environment of 200 teenagers. 57. Seeing only four boys with bad records, the researchers probably felt _. A. relieved B. surprised C. disappointed D. frustrated 58. Most of the 200 surveyed boys grew into good citizens because _. A. their parents were strict with them B. they had great ambition as children C. they were expected to do good deeds D. a woman teacher loved and cared them 59. What conclusion can we draw from the story? A. Love can work miracles. B. Like teacher, like pupil. C. Adversity leads to prosperity. D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. BFootrace (竞走) is a popular activity in the United States. It is not only seen as a competitive sport, but also as a way to exercise, and to donate (捐赠) money to a good cause. Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time, or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of all ages, from those less than one year old to those in their 80s, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses，through parks, and in suburban areas, and commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.The largest footrace in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the Pacific Ocean. In 1993 there were 80,000 people running in this race through the streets and hills of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win，and who might finish in as little as 34 minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who wear costumes just for fun. In 1993 there was a group of men all of whom dressed up like Elvis Priestly. There was a group of firefighters who were all tied in a long line and were carrying a fire-hose (水龙带). One year there was a wedding party in which the bride dressed in a long white gown (长袍) and the groom wore a tuxedo (晚礼服). They threw flowers to by-standers, and were actually married at some point along the route.60. The main purpose of this text is to _A. describe a popular activityB. encourage people to exerciseC. make fun of runners in costumeD. give reasons for the popularity of footraces61. Which of the following is implied by the author?A. Walkers dont compete for prizes B. Footraces appeal to a variety of peopleC. Entering a race is a way to make friends D. Running is a good way to strengthen the heart62. The underlined words “to a good cause” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by _.A. for a good reasonB. to support a sound principleC. for a good purposeD. to protect an excellent playerCPrinceton UniversityLocationThe University is in Princeton, New Jersey: It is an hours train ride south of New York City and an hours train ride north of Philadelphia.StudentsThere are 4,600 undergraduates (本科生).

But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms. After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London. Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending live Olympic broadcast from London. “The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites,” said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Suns atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically - charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometers per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots. Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available. The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur. Professor Richard Holdaway, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said. 67. The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to _ during the 2012 Olympics. A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torch B. the destruction of weather satellites C. the transportation breakdown in London D. the collapse of broadcasting systems68. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage? A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth. B. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections. C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth. D. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.69. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _. A. take images of the solar system B. provide early warning of thunderstorms C. keep track of solar activities D. improve the communications on Earth70. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer B. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled C. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human Race D. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in Danger.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有多余选项。Our Fears Can Change the Reality of the SituationAt times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not. Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during your anxious moments. 71 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 72 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.Be smart in how you deal with your fears and anxieties.

I invite some friends to have dinner with me in one of my favorite restaurants. It was complete full when we went in, but we had to wait. Luckily, after what seemed ten minutes, a group of tourist at a corner table got up and leaving. As we sat down at a table, I noticed a larger brown envelope on one of the chairs. I picked up. It felt very heavy. Probably it was full of important papers. I handed the envelope to one of the waiters, whom hurried down the street after the tourists and managed to catch up with them before they were disappeared.第二节 书面表达 (满分25分)为了丰富学生生活，我校学生会将举办一次主题为 “English Music Week” 的活动。请你以学生会的名义写一个书面通知（约100字）。有关内容如下： 时间：5月的最后一个星期 地点：届时通知 活动内容：1. 演唱英文歌曲 2. 器乐演奏：包括西方古典音乐和民间音乐
