We were all given duties to 16, such as cleaning and cooking. I was in the team serving 17. On the first day I tried hard to please everyone, but it was hard to know how. Some people 18 it when you were fast and just gave them their food, some people preferred it 19 and steady so that they could choose exactly how much they 20, and some didnt know what I was serving and didnt speak English. If they werent 21 in the way they wanted, some grew annoyed. As you can imagine, after an hour of this it started to get cold. So the next day, we tried a 22 way. I learnt how to say “Would you like.” in several 23 and tried to see everyones name badge (证), which also 24 where they were from, to make sure that they 25 what I was saying to them. I was serving beans so when people came up to me, I 26 them and said, “Would you like beans?” If they said they did I smiled more and said, “Yeah, you want some beans!”I was so 27 that we actually ran out of beans before everyone got served! To be honest, I wasnt sure if I was making them smile, or 28 them!After a few days of this though, whenever I saw people I had served they smiled and 29 me, saying how it had brightened up their 30 that we hadnt just put food on their plates. We 31 got an award for the 32 servers at the end!We did other things that werent our 33 too, like cleaning up, or washing dishes.

While we were making food in the kitchen, my father came in. He walked over to me, placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Jesus Christ, Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You dont need to eat; youre already fat enough.” Then he walked outlaughing.Nasty ments about my physical appearance were nothing new, of course. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were unacceptable, and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summermost of which were sticky (湿热得难受的), unbearably hot Florida summersroasting in long pants.But then I met Ragen Chastain, and one day, over a sushi lunch, she changed everything. I couldnt believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so vibrant (充满生气的) and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, just by virtue of the things they do every day, without having to be told or supervisedlike breathing, pumping blood to every cell and vital organ, blinking and walking.Walking! I was suddenly aware of how incredibly foolish Id been for so long. There are people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and Id been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs in shame because I had allowed someone to convince me that they werent good enough. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.The next time anyone feels pelled to ment about your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” Thats a Ragens original, but I dont think shell mind if you steal it.36. How did the author probably feel when she heard her fathers words?A. Delighted. B. Puzzled. C. Amused. D. Hurt. 37. Why did the author wear long pants in the next 15 years?A. She was ashamed of her legs. B. She was afraid of coldness.C. She didnt like shorts. D. Florida has cool summers. 38. What do we know about Ragen Chastain from the third paragraph?A. She likes to make ments on others. B. She has succeeded in losing weight. C. Once she wasnt content with her body image.D. She had never cared about her body image. 39. In the last paragraph, the author intends to _.A. show her respect for Ragen B. ask us to learn Ragens attitude C. share Ragens remarks with us D. ask us to ignore others advice 40. The underlined word “Nasty” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. Careless. B. Rude. C. Naughty. D. Kind. BTeachers got angry over education cuts in the Irish Republic and they accused the government of breaking its election promises. Teachers meeting in Cork angrily rejected the governments so-called Croke Park proposals on education. The proposals included additional unpaid hours, increment freezes (冻结盈余) and pay cuts. A school president Anne Fay was forced to calm down the teachers during an address by Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn to reply the questions from delegates. More than 800 primary teachers attending the annual conference heard that public services and public servants have been battling against a government determined to make its citizens bear the cost of the countrys economic crisis, while speculators (投机者) who had caused the economic crash sought shelter from the consequences of their irresponsibility behind bankruptcy (破产) proceedings. Ms Fay told delegates that schools were experiencing the tightest squeeze for decades. In her speech, she said there was increasing anger among teachers about education cutbacks in primary schools and there are more pupils but relatively fewer teachers. Operating costs are rising but government funding is falling. “There are more special needs pupils but teaching hours are being cut back. There are more disadvantaged children but supports are being reduced or, in some cases, eliminated altogether,” she said. Ms Fay said there was anger at investment in education. It became another discredited (败坏名声的) election promise, rather than a real priority to return Ireland to economic growth and social equality. She also accused the government of refusing to get the wealthy to pay their fair share through taxation. “Instead, they champion a policy of targeting cuts at public servants and public services,” she added. Elsewhere, the majority of 500 teachers meeting at the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland convention in Wexford voted mostly to reject the Croke Park II pay deal. The Teachers Union of Ireland also opened its conference in Galway with a special demand on Croke Park, even though its members had already voted against the deal. 41. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. Teachers protest against education cuts. B. The governments policies on education. C. Educational conferences in the Irish Republic. D. The effects of the economic crisis.42. Teachers protested against the Croke Park proposals because _.A. the teachers demanded a pay rise B. the proposals are of no good to teachers C. the proposals suggest increasing working daysD. the government didnt carry out their promise43. Whats Ms Fays attitude towards the teachers?A. Angry. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Sympathetic. 44. From the fifth paragraph we see that _.A. education is experiencing a difficult period B. the government will place more tax on rich people C. more funds will be raised for education D. the number of teachers will be reduced 45. The underlined word “champion” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. hate B. object C. support D. avoidC In a billion years time, what will be left of human civilization?The pyramids will have long ago crumbled to dust and our technology rusted to nothing. Perhaps we will have found a new life among the stars or reached a higher state of human civilizationespecially if the plan to send a couple to Mars by xx can e to pass. Maybe Morlocks or apes will rule the planet. The Earth might be a wastelanddestroyed through conflict, environmental catastrophe or the failure to spot an asteroid (小行星) before it destroys us thoroughly. But not to worry. Whatever happens to us, something of our legacy will remainif not on Earth then in space. Around 36,000 km above the planet, the long-dead Echostar XVI satellite will continue to orbit, a memorial to humanity. On board, a 12cm-diameter disc is embossed (刻录) with 100 pictures called the “Last Pictures” representing our civilizationimages of human endeavor (努力), innovation, culture and cruelty, pictures of the natural world and the changes we have brought to it. Or as the artist behind the “Last Pictures” project, Trevor Paglen, puts it: “A collection of images will haunt the Earth.” The Echostar XVI munications satellite was launched in November, xx and was designed to remain operational for around 15 years, beaming (播送) TV pictures to and from the United States. It is effectively locked in place, above Earth. It will keep its position until it bees consumed by the Sun. The selected pictures now orbiting above us range from early human cave art to the earthrise picture captured by the Apollo 8 astronauts during their mission to the Moon. They also include the Great Wall of China, a steam train and an atom bomb explosion. There are also images where you only need a little imagination to picture pain and suffering. But there is also humor. “The images in the Last Pictures are primarily inspired by thinking of uncertainty about the future,” explains Paglen who spent five years searching through tens of thousands of images to select one hundred images, “trying to think through the ways in which humans have produced crises over and over, whether thats humanitarian (人道主义) crises or ecological crises and thinking about our uncertain relationship with ideas about progress.” 46. We know from the passage that Trevor Paglen _.A. didnt take part in the “Last Pictures” project B. is passive about the future of humans C. planned the project and selected the pictures D. wrote his words on the body of the satellite 47. The underlined phrase “e to pass” probably means _. A. give up B. get out C. run out D. take place 48. What can we learn about the Echostar XVI satellite? A. It will be destroyed by the sun in fifteen years.B. It will still move in space after it doesnt work. C. It has recorded the changes of the natural world.D. It is designed to get in touch with aliens in space.49. Which of the following statements about the “Last Pictures” is true?A. They will be finished and sent into space in xx.B. They are used to imagine humans good future.C. They are intended to preserve humans long-term legacy.D. They can warn people of the changes of the natural world.50. What can be the best title for this passage?A. Sending postcards to aliens B. The future of human civilizationC. The project of the Echostar XVI D. Where humans will go in the futureDWhen thinking of endangered species, most people will automatically imagine the large mammals: giant panda bears, rhinos or tigers. However, there are hundreds of smaller species who find themselves on the endangered list. The task of preserving these species and increasing their numbers sufficiently to remove them from the endangered species list falls to citizens; and fish hatcheries (孵化场) would seem to be such a method to achieve this.The aim of fish hatcheries in aiding endangered species is to breed (繁殖) individuals in a controlled environment for release into the wild in order to increase the number of individuals in the natural population. There are two types of programs with very different focuses. An augmentation (增多) program seeks to increase the natural population for mercial use. The hatchery fish are not intended for integration into the wild population, and generally the fish that are reared (饲养) in the hatchery bee the brood stock for the next generation. Breeding fish in these hatcheries uses a limited genetic pool, which creates a genetic drift from the wild population and limits the genetic variance in parison with the wild population. Programs that focus specifically on conservation are more beneficial to endangered species. These programs use adults from both the natural population and hatchery origins. The juveniles are kept in a proper facility before they are released into the wild population to continue their life cycle in connection with the wild population. These hatcheries focus on the long-term increase in the numbers and the fitness of the fish instead of the short-term increase in numbers. There is a constant need for monitoring of the genetic and ecological impact of the program to ensure that the hatchery-bred fish do not replace the natural fish.The research is still ongoing, and more is being learned about the impact of fish hatcheries on the natural population and what can be done to minimize the negative effects. With an increase in the awareness of the effects of hatcheries on the natural population, more steps can be taken to reduce this impact and the conservation efforts will improve.51. What is the main purpose of fish hatcheries?A. To increase the number of fish for mercial use. B. To raise peoples awareness of endangered fish. C. To increase the number of endangered fish species. D. To help endangered fish survive in the wild.52. What do we know about fish reared from the augmentation program?A. They are usually released into the wild. B. They bee the brood stock for the next generation.C. They are mixed with the wild population.D. They are not different from the wild population.53. Which of the following is true about programs focusing on conservation?A. They focus on the fitness of fish.B. They are carried out in a natural environment. C. They use only adults from natural population. D. They produce perfect natural fish. 54. We learn from the last paragraph that _.A. fish hatcheries have some negative ecological impacts B. fish hatcheries have a good effect on natural population C. we know little about the impacts of fish hatcheriesD. the negative impacts of fish hatcheries cannot be reduced 55. The passage is mainly about _.A. how to increase the number of endangered fish species B. how to reduce the negative effects of fish hatcheries C. how to protect the endangered species D. how fish hatcheries help endangered fish species第三部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。1 When I was little I wondered why neighborhoods didnt plant fruit trees to build munity, and promote partnership. As adults, my husband and I decided the right way to answer this question was to do it ourselves, so we planted fruit trees in our front yard, such as strawberries, pomegranates(石榴), and oranges.2 Every crop brought us closer to neighbors and strangers. The food was an excuse to municate. Kids in the neighborhood, including our sons, learned patience when waiting for the trees to produce fruit. When we had extra, wed share it. Our first-ever crop of pomegranates had ripened. But at harvest, they were all missing, stolen in the middle of the night. We were shocked, sad and angry. Friends gave advice on how to react. One even suggested we post a sign to curse (咒骂) thieves who stole our fruit.3 And suddenly, the lesson was clear. We did need a sign. But our sign would encourage sharing and munity. Last fall, we had a larger crop of pomegranates. We posted a sign that read, “If youd like one, please knock and introduce yourself and wed be happy to cut one off the tree for you. Cutting saves the branches and promotes future growth so we can continue to share pomegranates with new friends like you. Thanks. The Green Family.”4 This year, we won the Kindness Contest award, so we planted three new fruit trees a peach, a pear and a plum. Before they fruit, Ill add a big sign to the yard to encourage sharing. I am happy to have the opportunity to provide an edible (有东西可吃的) front yard for others. 56.
