第一部分　閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分) 第一節(jié)　(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 A With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object, the pains of a two­year project were about to bear fruit. It was Wang Hongyi's first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)designed and assembled (組裝) with his teammates from the Aero­Sport Club (航模隊) at Shanghai Jiaotong University. Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major. He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University's Aero­Sport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated. “I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab，”says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. “He loves what he's doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out.” says coach Wu. When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab. “We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved.” Wang says. They didn't even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. “We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions.” he says. “Our UAV isn't finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me.” Wang says. “The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.” 1.Why did Wang succeed in doing the research? A.He majored in mechanical engineering and automation. B.He had a good coach and wonderful teammates. C.He loved what he did and would stick to it. D.He was highly thought of by Wu Junqi. 2.What does the writer want to do by writing the passage? A.Encourage students to learn from Wang Hongyi. B.Tell readers about UAV development in China. C.Inform readers about Wang Hongyi and his UAV. D.Call on readers to do what interests them. 3.What message does Wang Hongyi's story convey to us? A.Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. B.Two heads are better than one. C.Interest is the best teacher. D.Actions speak louder than words. B As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夾). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互記憶).” According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 4.The passage begins with two questions to . A.introduce the main topic　 B.show the author's attitude C.describe how to use the Internet D.explain how to store information 5.What can we learn about the first experiment? A.The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B.The two groups remembered the information equally well. C.The first group did not try to remember the information. D.The second group did not understand the information. 6.In transactive memory, people . A.keep the information in mind B.change the quantity of information C.organize information like a computer D.remember how to find the information 7.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A.We are using memory differently. B.We are becoming more intelligent. C.We have poorer memories than before. D.We need a better way to access information. C Windows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft's operating system that has been changed from the core (核心) when compared to its former one. However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8. Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7. New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool! Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC's and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience. However, there are still some disadvantages. The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface (界面) introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse. 8.What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A.Math symbols. B.Strengths. C.New rules. D.Messages. 9.According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its . A.complex passwords B.high speed C.unique experience D.new interface 10.From the text we can learn that Windows 8 . A.no longer requires a password B.was upgraded from windows 95 C.will be popular with desktop users D.can be used on more than computers 11.Many Windows 8 users face the problem that . A.start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner B.they have to use fingerprints instead of button C.keyboard and mouse can't be used any longer D.they don't get accustomed to the new interface D We know more about the surface of the planet Mars than we know about what is at the bottom of Earth's oceans. Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers, industry and governments. The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean. He spoke to VOA on SKYPE. “The way we're doing that is to use a satellite altimeter (高度計), a radar to map the topography (地貌) of the ocean surface. Now that seems sort of strange that you'd map the topography of the ocean surface when you really want to get at the sea floor. But, the ocean surface topography has these bumps and dips due to gravitational effects that mimic what's on the sea floor.” The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agency's Cryo­2 satellite. It was placed in Earth's orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American space agency's Jason­1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed. “That enables us to look at smaller­scale features and also features that are buried by sediments in the ocean basins.” The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor. In one place, three mountain ridges join at the same area. Huge tectonic (構造的) plates can be seen clearly there.12.The passage is likely to . A.be an advertisement B.appear on VOA C.make a comment on radar D.appear on SKYPE 13.What will be mentioned in the following paragraph, according to the last paragraph? A.The detailed information about the place. B.The more important thing in the ocean. C.The things buried in the ocean. D.Scientists told SKYPE they will explore at the same area. 14.Scientists collected and studied information by . A.the European Space Agency's Cryo­2 satellite B.the American space agency's Jason­1 C.sonar equipment on ships D.the Cryo­2 and the Jason­1 15.What's the best title of the passage? A.Scientists Create New Maps of Ocean Floor B.Scientists Know More Oceans Than Mars C.Oceans Will Provide Us With Maps D.People Know Easily About Mars 第二節(jié)　(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分 10分) 根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 As a father who works outside the home, I recognize that it is easy for me to get caught up in stress at work. Indeed, sometimes it is difficult to turn off my work focus and turn on my family focus so that I can come home and be the loving husband my wife needs and the playful father my kids want. 16 Good fathers provide stability and strength to the family. As fathers, we do not let the pressures and worries of work get in the way of being there for our kids. 17 1. 18 It doesn't need to be a lot of time, but if you are able, have one­on­one time with each of your kids. 2.Be goofy (滑稽的) with your kids. The more voices you do, the more expressive you are when you play with them, the more they will feel your love and your acceptance of them. 3.Spend time reading to them. Allow your kids to choose a book and spend time reading some of it to them before bed. The more effort you put into it the more they will feel your love. 19 As a therapist (臨床醫(yī)學家) who works with children and their families, I have noticed that the better the relationship that a father has with his child, the more influence that father will have on his child. As fathers work on developing a strong link with their kids through positive interactions, they can have a positive effect on the lives of their children. 20 A.Fathers have such an important and irreplaceable role in the family. B.Sometimes books can help you deal with children. C.Reading stories is an excellent time for dads to practice voice imitations.

I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot. What's more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.
