The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals lives during different seasons.Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wildgiant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture. A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The pandas gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in Chinas most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”21. How is Born in China special according to the article?A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.B. Its considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.C. Its the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China.D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.22. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _.A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the worldB. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey KingC. the stories show how animals grow up to be independentD. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals23. What may be the best title for the text?A. The stories of 3 animal familiesB. Symbols of ChinaC. Wildlife born in ChinaD. Nature shows cultureBOne advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University. “Everyone says this. They order clothes and they dont fit. People get very unhappy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtual (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, The color is wrong or I got the right size but it still does not fit. We want to make it like youre in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wongs dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shoppers 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”24. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. Clothes bought online may not fit.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.25. Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from _.A. their shopping experiencesB. a program at their universityC. some shop-owners complaintsD. the Xbox 360 video game player26. Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?A. scanning - trying on clothes - getting imagesB. trying on clothes - getting models - scanningC. scanning - getting models -trying on clothes D. trying on clothes - getting images - scanning27. What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?A. It is perfectly developed.B. It will have its market share.C. It is limited to women shoppers.D. It is like a kind of video game player.CReader: For six years, Ive run an office that has two employees: me and my boss. He used to be so appreciative that I didnt mind doing a little extra, but about two months ago, he started being rude and demanding. Now he even yells when I dont have time to bring his favorite wine to his home after work. This change started when we met a wealthy new customer, who is a huge jerk (古怪的人) - my bosss new behavior is just like his. My boss is a good man; he and his family have treated me like a little sister. Is there a good way to discuss this with him?Karla: Sounds like your new customer has set a bad example to your boss. You need to remind your boss that youre in his corner- but youre not his slave. My suggestions are as follows.Start with a simple question in a calm moment: “Is everything okay?”State the truth: “Until recently, Ive felt like a valued teammate. But our relationship has become tense. Your expectations of me seem to have changed. Although I used to do occasional personal businesses for you as a favor, now it seems expected.”Draw your lines: “If you think my job description needs to change or my performance is not good enough, lets discuss that. Otherwise, I need you to stop yelling at me and to respect my personal time.”Ideally, youll get an apology and a promise to do better. After that, its a matter of reinforcement (加强) . If he starts yelling, look at him with a calm expression. After he cools down, restate his request and add, “Is that correct?” For the unreasonable request, such as fetching his favorite wine after work: “Im afraid I cant take care of that for you.” If he keeps acting like a jerk, there are bosses out there who will better respect your time and talent.Karla L. Miller is ready to hear your work dramas. Send your questions to wpmagazinewashpost.com. 28.

What sort of problem can be solved by Karla L. Miller?A. How do I make a friend?B. How do I kill my personal time?C. How can I get along well with my workmates?D.

But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.For years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse(多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.The Shanker Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.Diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. Where theres a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.32. Among teachers of color leaving their jobs, half of them quit because _. A. they had to take care of their childrenB. they had to move to other placesC. they eventually found better-paid jobsD. their employment situation was unsatisfactory33. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The solutions to increasing graduation rates among minority students.B. The benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools.C. The reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools.D. The ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school.34. Which of the following components is vital to equality and opportunity?A. HonestyB. VarietyC. AbilityD. Safety35. How did the author feel when writing the passage?A. He felt angry about the government.B. He was satisfied with the present situation.C. He felt it urgent to solve the problem. D. He didnt care about diverse teaching workforce. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Humor plays an important role in relationships. In new relationships, humor can be an effective tool not just for attracting the other person but also for overcoming any awkwardness or embarrassment. 36 Sharing the pleasure of humor creates a sense of connection between two people. When you laugh with one another, you create a positive tie between you. This tie acts as a strong buffer(缓冲) against stress, disagreements, disappointments, and bad patches in a relationship. And laughter really is infectious. 37 But dont worry if youre not naturally a lighthearted, humorous person-you can learn to access your playful side and develop your sense of fun.Like any tool, humor can be used in negative as well as positive ways. Humor can only help you overcome relationship problems when both partners can understand the joke. 38 If your partner or friend isnt likely to appreciate the joke, dont say or do it. Humor in relationships should be equally fun and enjoyable for both people.Dont use humor to cover up other emotions. 39 Thats when it is used as a cover for avoiding, rather than coping with, painful emotions. You can be funny about the truth, but covering up the truth isnt funny. When you use humor and playfulness as a cover for other emotions, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships. 40 The important thing is to find enjoyable activities that help you embrace your playful nature with other people. As humor and play become an unseparated part of your life, youll begin to find daily opportunities for using your new-found skills to help build and maintain your relationships.A. Humor can help you and your loved one.B. There are times when humor is not healthy.C. Its important to be sensitive to the other person.D. Its never too late to develop your humorous side.E. The more you joke, play, and laugh-the easier it becomes.F. Just hearing someone laugh can make you smile and join in on the fun.G. In longer-term relationships, humor can keep things exciting and fresh.第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。As I sat there one night in Namibia, staring out at one of the most perfect sunsets Id seen in a while, I realized why I never wanted to visit Africa alone.
