19．Every culture has it own ways to show friendship．On the island of Hawaii，friendship is part of the"aloha spirit"．In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago，aloha had a very special meaning．That is"to be with happiness"．
Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land，they are ready to love their people or community．This is the second most important thing of friendship．It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language，which means"oneness with all people"．To enjoy the land you should not be selfish．The land is for everyone who lives on．Today many different people call Hawaii their home．Indeed，Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities．Each person gives kokua（help） to other people so that all feel stronger．It is believed that the islands can be a paradise（天堂） when people live in peace．People are told that their actions should be as gentle as the wind that blows from the sea．When problems happen，people are asked to solve them with understanding．So when people of Hawaii talk about ohana（family），they are really talking about all those who live on the island．
Living in peace，Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship．This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another．The lei，a string of flowers，is put over a friend's neck．Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek．Visitors to the islands are also given leis．When they hear aloha，visitors began to feel at home．Aloha also means"goodbye"，so visitors will hear it again when they leave．It can mean"our hearts singing together"．Perhaps this is how most visitors will remember their new friendship．
51．Which of the following can be the proper title for this text？D
A．People in Hawaii                          
B．Visitors to Hawaii
C．Traveling in Hawaii                    
D．Friendship in Hawaii

9．Hello，everyone．If s nice to speak about that we can do for our school，and I think small actions can make big difference．The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautifully．Every one of them may plant a tree in the school or to organize a thorough cleaning on the campus．We can also form a good habit of putting rubbishes into trashcans．Never forget to turn off the lights and close the doors．We should not leave the tap water run or waste any materials in the laboratory class．In that case，I believe we'll turn our school in a better place to study and live in．How I wish we can enjoy a better school life!
Thank you for listening!
10．A．Don't assume that the sticker price is the purchase price．
To get the lowest price，go in with a starting price that's based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle．A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price，depending on the demand for the model．
B．Do your homework．
Thoroughly research your choices．Read a variety of reviews．Check the reliability，safety，fuel economy，and pricing of any models you're considering．And don't wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles．If you have a trade-in，know its approximate worth．That will depend on the vehicle's age，condition，mileage，and equipment，as well as where you trade it in．
C．Negotiate one thing at one time．
        Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price．Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price．Only after you've settled on the price should you discuss financing，leasing，or a trade-in，as necessary．Negotiate each item individually．Remember，you're in charge and can leave at any time．Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer．
D．Don't pay for extras you don't need．
        Don't accept those unnecessary services and fees．If the items are on the bill of sale，put a line through them．Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust．And CR reliability survey show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars．You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products．You can do your own VN etching with a kit that costs about $25．
E．Other costs．
In addition to the vehicle price，you need to consider other costs，including：Sales tax； Registration fees； Insurance premiums Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more，and driving a car that's worth more than your current one will cost more to insure．Be sure to check with your insurance agent or get insurance quotes online so you understand what you're getting into．
F．Arrange financing in advance．
Compare interest rates at several banks，credit unions，and loan organizations before checking the dealer's rates．If pre-approved for a loan（贷款），you can keep financial arrangements out of the negotiations．Automakers may offer attractive financing terms，but make sure you qualify for them．
 
请结合以上建议，与下面的情形进行匹配．
46．Many dealerships prey on the unprepared．Going into a showroom"cold"--without having gathered key facts and preliminary（初步的） pricing figures--gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process．B
47．The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides．But the invoice price isn't necessarily what the dealer paid．There are often behind-the-scenes bonuses（幕后红利），such as dealer incentives（奖励） and holdbacks，that give the dealer more profit margin（空间）．A
48．Salespeople like to mix financing，leasing，and trade-in negotiations together，often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure．This tactic（策略） gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating（抬高）figures in another．C
49．The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher interest rate than you could get elsewhere．F
50．Dealers often try to sellyou extras such as rust proofing，fabric protection，and paint protection or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves．D．
7．Life on Mars could become a reality and it could happen in your lifetime．
A welcoming planet
Scientists say Earth's neighbor Mars，a bright red planet about half Earth's size，is the most likely to support human life．Mars even has frozen water on its surface．
Since the late 1990s，NASA has been exploring Mars using remote-controlled vehicles（装置）．Most recently Curiosity，a car-size vehicle，traveled through space on an unpiloted spacecraft（航天器） and landed on Mars in August 2012．Directed by NASA scientists，the vehicles move on the surface，taking pictures，collecting and analyzing soil，and looking for signs of life．
But what about human explorers？Plans are already in the works to send astronauts to Mars as soon as the mid-2030s．
_____________________________________
But before you start packing your bags，let's consider the challenges．For starters，Mars is far away．Just getting there could take up to 10months．
Scientists already know that time away from Earth's gravity harms the human body．Bones and muscles get weaker．The body produces less blood．What damage would months and months of living in space do？
And then there is the matter of water，oxygen，food and fuel．Scientists will have to find solutions to these problems，or the first humans on Mars won't survive very long in their new home．
Tiny Dangers
There's another tinier risk．It's so tiny that you can't even see it：germs．
Some scientists believe that our germs could pollute the whole planet of Mars．Potentially killing Martian life before we have the chance to discover it．Worse，there is a small but terrifying chance that any microscopic life already there might be harmful to us．
Worse still，if any of those Martian germs（火星细菌） were brought back to Earth，the result could be disastrous．Animals，plants，and people could be wiped out．
Worth the？Amorepracticalconcernisthecost．Thepricecouldapproach 1trillion（万亿）．How can we justify spending that much when so many problems-poverty，disease-could use the cash here on Earth？

41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the"A welcoming planet"part？C

B．There are flowing rivers on Mars．
C．People haven't been to Mars so far．
D．Scientists have discovered signs of life on Mars．
42．Which of the following can best fill in the blank in the passage？C
A．Living in space．      B．Limited resources．

A．People        B．History        C．Science         D．Business．
14．A team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning what's happening in their brains．
When you look at something，your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain．Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send．Cells in your brain called neurons（神经元） are responsible for this processing．
　　The fMRI （functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging功能性磁共振造影） brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at．
　　Like cells anywhere else in your body，active neurons use oxygen．Blood brings oxygen to the neurons，and the more active a neuron is，the more oxygen it will consume．The more active a region of the brain，the more active its neurons，and in turn，the more blood will travel to that region．And by using fMRI，scientists can visualize which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood--and therefore，which parts are working to process information．
　　An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain．The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks，looks at something，or carries out an activity like speaking or reading．By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images，fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images．
　　The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects，like people，animals，and fruits．The scientists used an fMRI machine to record the volunteers'brain activity with each photograph they looked at．Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers'brains to light up on the scan，indicating activity．The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see．
In a second test，the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures．Like before，their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image．This time，the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image．For example，if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity that was strongly，related to pictures of apples in the first test，their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples．
51．What is responsible for processing the information sent by your eyes？C
A．A small region of the brain．
B．The central part of the brain．
C．Neurons in the brain．
D．Oxygen-rich blood．
52．Which of the following statements is NOT meant by the writer？D
A．Cells in your brain are called neurons．
B The more oxygen a neuron consumes，the more blood it needs．
C fMRI helps scientists to discover which parts of the brain process information．
D fMRI helps scientists to discover how the brain develops intelligently．
53．"Highlighting the areas of the brain at work"meansA
A．"marking the parts of the brain that are processing information"
B．"giving light to the parts of the brain that are processing information"
C．"putting the parts of the brain to work"
D．"stopping the parts of the brain from working"
54．What did the researchers experiment on？B
A Animals，objects，and fruits．
B Two volunteers．
C fMRI machines．
D Thousands of pictures．
55．What is the best title for the passage？A
A．Mind-reading Machine
B．A Technological Dream
C．Device that can Help You Calculate
D．The Recent Development in Science and Technology．
4．A new age is coming．Call it what you will：the service economy，the information age，the knowledge society．It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work．Already we're partly there，the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World．Today the majority of jobs in America，Europe and Japan are in the service industry，and the number is on the rise．More women are in the work force than ever before．There are more part-time jobs．More people are self-employed．But the range of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone，because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself．Long-held ideas about jobs and careers，the skills needed to succeed，even the relation between individuals and employers-all these are being challenged．
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead．No one looking ahead 20years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention，the chip，would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers，digital communications and factory robots．Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology，artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes．But one thing is certain：information and knowledge will become even more valid，and the people who possess it，whether they work in manufacturing or services，will have the advantage and produce the wealth．Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write．The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else．If you cast your mind ahead 10years，information service will be superior．It will be the way you do your job．

66．A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is thatC．
A．the service industry mainly relies on females
B．manufacturing industries are steadily increasing
C．more people are in the service industry than before
D．the work in the service industry is more comfortable than that in manufacturing industry
67．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．People's traditional concepts about jobs need changing．
B．The relation between employees and employers is becoming tense．
C．More women than men are in the work force．
D．Part-time jobs are more welcome than full-time jobs．
68．By mentioning the invention of"the chip"，the author means to say thatC．
A．we haven't paid enough attention to the importance of high technology
B．the chip is the most important invention today
C．the power of science and technology is beyond our imagination
D．it's a great challenge to apply new inventions to our life
69．We may draw a conclusion from the passage thatA．
A．information will play a greater role in people's work and daily life in the future
B．we can foresee the future if technology develops fast enough
C．the ability of performing routine tasks gives you an advantage in work
D．robots will replace people to do all the work both in manufacturing and service industries
70．The author's attitude to the coming age isB．
A．doubtful         B．enthusiastic          
C．satisfied        D．uncertain．
11．For over 150years the blue whale has been the main target for whalers，who hunt the whale since it was a money-making catch because of its big size，which directly makes it now an endangered species．With a length of about 30meters，the blue whale tops the largest animal list in the world．It is believed that a full grown whale can be 30times the weight of a big elephant and live for 100years．There were as many as 100.000of these giant animals swimming in the oceans before hunting of the blue whale began，while now there might be only a small number of the blue whale．
Although hunting the blue whale has been forbidden，with the females giving birth to only one young whale every two to three years and a gestation （怀孕） period lasting for as long as 11months，it doesn't help work out the problem．The World Conservation Union considers the species to be on the edge of dying out．
Oil spilled into the ocean prevents the blue whale's survival through stopping the whale from getting to the surface to"blast off"the waste air it keeps under the water because with the oil on the surface its skin will get covered and as a result，the whale's blowholes，through which it breathes，can be bloked by the oil．
With global warming，krill，which are very important in the Antarctic food chain，become fewer than before，leading to a damage in the food chain，while the damage of the food chain is one of reasons for the fall in the population of the blue whale．
The fishing ships and nets are also problems for the blue whale．Even if the blue whale has a large and strong body，it can be killed if hit by a stream ship or a fishing boat．And the nets that fishermen use can tangle the blue whale．
However，what's worse，the problems mentioned above aren't only for the blue whale．

64．What plays a key role in making the blue whale an endangered species？D
A．Global warming           B．The oil pollution
C．Large ships and nets     D．Human beings'hunting
65．Why is the problem still unsolved though hunting the blue whale has been forbidden？A
A．Because the blue whale produces only one baby every a few years．
B．Because the ocean becomes unfit for the blue whale to live in．
C．Because the protection for the blue whale is unsuccessful
D．Because the blue whale becomes too weak to survive
66．What trouble will the spilled oil cause for the blue whale？B
A．The blue whale will die if it drinks the oil
B．It makes the blue whale have difficulty feel sick
C．The smell of oil makes the blue whale feel sick
D．It causes serious disease for the blue whale
67．It can be inferred from the passage thatC
A．most of the ocean is seriously polluted by the spilled oil
B．human beings should raise krill to feed he blue whale
C．human beings'activities influence the sea life greatly
D．the blue whale should move to a new place to live．
8．Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own actions？Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators （旁观者） in the lives of their children and shrug，"It's their life，"and feel nothing？
When I was in my twenties，I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son's head．I was asked，"When do you stop worrying？"A nurse said，"When they get out of the accident stage．"My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing．
When I was in my thirties，I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly，disrupted （打断） the class，and was headed for a career making license plates．As if to read my mind，a teacher said，"Don't worry．They all go through this stage，and then you can sit back，relax，and enjoy them．"My mother listened and said nothing．
When I was in my forties，I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home，the front door to open．
My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life．I wanted to believe that，but I was haunted by my mother's wan （ 淡淡的 ） smile and her occasional words，"You look pale．Are you all right？Call me the minute you get home．"
Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry？Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown？Is concern a curse？Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life？
One of my children became quite irritable recently，saying to me，"Where were you？I've been calling for three days，and no one answered．I was worried!!!"
I smiled a wan smile．

59．What can we know about the author's mother from the passage？C
A．She seems to laugh at the author．
B．She is not concerned about the author．
C．She has a thorough understanding of the author．
D．She tries to give the author some encouragement．
60．What did the author do in her forties？C
A．She was less concerned about her children．
B．She couldn't stop worrying about her children．
C．She would like her children to see her often．
D．She became more patient with her children．
61．Why did the author smile a wan smile at the end of the passage？D
A．She wanted to learn from her mother．
B．She stopped worrying about her children at last．
C．She succeeded in tricking her children．
D．She got a kind of satisfaction from her child's concern．
62．The main purpose of the passage is to tell us thatA．
A．the concern between parents and children is natural
B．parents'love for their children is selfless
C．parents show more concern for their children
D．parents will worry about their children all their lives．
9．--Did Jane come to help you yesterday？
--Yes，but I would rather _________．She caused me a lot of trouble．（　　）
A．not haveB．notC．she didn'tD．she hadn't
