Human beings have always been fascinated by twins.
As children, many of us imagine having a twin: a permanent playmate, a partner in trouble, someone who’d love us unconditionally. Somewhere out there is someone who is exactly like us! What would it feel like to look into a face exactly like our own?
And what if she suddenly appears in my life? That’s essentially what
happened to
I met them for coffee at Café Mogador, three years after their first
meeting. Now 38, they have different haircuts, have made different choices in
hair color, do their makeup differently. But they clearly look alike, with
thick hair, upturned noses. They quickly discovered they had the same childhood
habit of sucking their middle fingers, the same adult habit of forgetfully
typing their thoughts on an invisible keyboard while thinking. Both edited
their high school newspapers and studied film in college. Paula wrote film
criticism; Elyse became a filmmaker. They both collected
They’re now regulars at Café Mogador. The women’s journey from strangers to sisters has clearly been rocky. But as they got to know each other, and struggled to piece together their history, their search united them.
“For me, the search began when I reached the age when my adoptive mother died,” Elyse said. “I realized that my birth mother could be dead. Time was passing. I was ready to solve the mystery that had shadowed my life.” Elyse had always felt a part of her was missing. “I’d felt so different from my adoptive family.” she said.
Paula was raised in a more typical Jewish intellectual family, and was at first a little threatened by Elyse’s appearance in her life. “My first response was both fear and excitement. The moment we met, I felt I was meeting my long-lost best friend. I could tell her anything. And then as that first excitement wore off, I thought, oh my God, I’ve committed to a long-term relationship with a stranger. I wished we hadn’t been separated, but also that I hadn’t been contacted. What would it mean to be in each other’s lives?”
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We always hope to have twins for much good.
B. We are often attracted by twins because of the mystery.
C. The long-lost twins, Paula and Elyse, were reunited.
D. Life with twins is always wonderful.
6. Which of the following can we infer is the least common names of twins according to the passage?
A. Romulus and Remus. B. Jacob and Esau.
C. Mary-Kate and Ashley. D. Paula and Elyse.
7. The underlined words “out of the blue” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A. unexpectedly B. accidentally C. oppositely D. out of control
8. It can be inferred that the following paragraph of the passage will talk about _________.
A. how Paula and Elyse found each other
B. how Paula and Elyse were separated when young
C. what their mothers were like
D. their mixed feelings when they saw each other

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.
He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty three or―four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.
“Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?” said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss, “Never mind me. I am Mr. d’Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?”
This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered― “I came to see your mother, sir.”
“I am afraid you cannot see her―she is ill in bed,” replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr. Alee, the only son of the noble family. “What is the business you wish to see her about?”
“It isn’t business―it is―I can hardly say what!”
“Pleasure?”
“Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem…”
Tess’s sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.
“It is so foolish”, she stammered(急急巴巴地说). “I fear I can’t tell you!”
“Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear,” said he kindly.
“Mother asked me to come,” Tess continued; “and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you.”
“Ho! Poor relations?”
“Yes.”
“Stokes?”
“No; d'Urbervilles.”
“Ay, ay; I mean d'Urbervilles.”
“Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d'Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, and…and we have an old seal(印章) and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”
“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure.” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?”
“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again.
“Well―there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?”
―-Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy
9. How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?
A. Excited and hopeful. B. Nervous and uncomfortable.
C. Surprised but comfortable. D. Pleased but embarrassed.
10. In the eyes of Tess, Alec is _______________.
A. forceful and daring B. unfriendly and talkative
C. a gentle and reliable man D. older than she had expected
11. Why does Tess pay the visit to the d'Urbervilles?
A. To see Alec himself. B. To see Alec’s mother.
C. To confirm that they are of the same family.
D. To make known their relationship and seek help.
12. Alec appears quite friendly to Tess mainly because __________.
A. Tess is his distant relation B. Tess looks polite to him
C. Tess is a pretty girl D. Tess looks ridiculous

Get a reward for every bug you bring to live in new science museum exhibit.
In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug－up to 1,000－as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center.
Nancy Greig, the museum’s director insists the public payday for roaches isn’t just a marketing ploy(炒作).
“Absolutely, this wasn’t devised as a joke,” Greig said. “We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose.”
“But we really do need cockroaches.”
“One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live
cockroach. But it’s simple enough to fool them,” Greig said, “and even easier
to catch them.” American cockroaches are the most common kind in
Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually aren’t that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them “fastidious” saying they don’t enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. They’re only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain access into a home.
The roaches collected by the museum will become part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites.
There’s more to like about roaches, too. They don’t bite, and they don’t carry diseases like a mosquito, so they’re generally safe to handle.
13. For what does the museum pay for cockroaches?
A. For a marketing ploy. B. It’s devised to make fun.
C. People really need them. D. For a new exhibit.
14. The underlined word “fastidious” probably means extremely ________.
A. clean B. dirty C. unpleasant D. fast
15. What do we know about American roaches?
A. It’s not easy
for people in
B. They all measure 2 inches and are often found in homes
C. They don’t bite and they are free of disease.
D. We have reasons to like them.
16. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. The
C. Quarters for cockroaches D. A cockroach is lovely
E
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimps（黑猩猩）differ in only 400 genes. And should that worry us ?Is it horrible for you thinking one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, or a person and his family may be hunted cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes? We live in a time of great scientific leaps!
Next challenges our sense of reality, blending fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems.
The son of a
zookeeper, 16-year-old Pi Patel is raised in
Five people you meet in heaven
When a lonely and elderly man dies in an accident, he awakens in an unfamiliar place called Heaven where five people, some strangers, some loved ones, take him on a clear journey through his life.

Through them Eddie learns “lessons”, finds out why certain events happened in his physical life, and understands the meaning of his own life. The book explores the unexpected mysteries of the afterlife by reminding us what really matters here on earth

【答案解析】
A篇：本文介绍一个很有创意的网站：FreeRice.com，游戏者只要选对一个单词的释义，就可以为饥民挣得20粒米，广告商和赞助商通过联合国机构为饥民捐献大米。
1.A考查细节理解。文章罗列的在FreeRice玩英语词汇游戏的各种好处，没有提到A项。
2.B考查推理判断。在“FreeRice节目如何工作”一节，作者提到该游戏能根据游戏者的答题情况自动调节词汇的难度，因此适合各种人群参与。
3.D考查主题大意。从文章的叙述看，这个网站的目的是将学习英语词汇与捐大米给饥民结合起来。
4.C考查推理判断。从文章开头的FreeRice.com和WARNING后的more判断，本文出自网站。
B篇导读：本文的话题是双胞胎。全文讲述一对双胞胎的故事：她们被不同家庭收养，但是在各自的家庭感觉与家庭其他人不一样，其中一人在养母去世后开始寻找自己的双胞胎姐妹，她们相遇后发现她们有太多的相同方面，无论个人喜好还是人生经历。
5.C考查主旨要义。本文在谈论双胞胎这个话题后，重点讲述美国布鲁克林作家Paula和其双胞胎Elyse在养母去世后重逢的故事，因此本文的主题应该选C。
6.D考查推理判断。第一段说，人们总被双胞胎所吸引，比如Romulus and Remus, Jacob and Esau, Mary-Kate and Ashley。从这些内容判断，A、B、C都是创建的双胞胎的名字，而D项是本文故事的主人的名字，属个例，因此本题选D。
7.A考查猜词悟义。从语境判断，划线部分的含义是A，突然，出乎意料之外地：对于被收养者总在寻找自己的生身父母的说法她嗤之以鼻，可是“突然”一家收养者机构对她说，她的双胞胎姐妹在找她。这突如其来的消息驳斥了她的观点。
8.B考查推理判断。关于这对双胞胎，本文采用倒叙的方式，先讲这对双胞胎的重逢故事，然后说她们各自在不同的收养家庭长大，那么下文就应该讲述她们当初被别人收养的背景。
C篇导读：本文选自哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》。从贫穷乡下来的苔丝想到德伯家来认亲戚，见到富亲戚家的公子Alec，在和Alec的交谈中她一直觉得紧张不安。
9.B从文章的叙述看，从贫穷乡下来的苔丝想到德伯家来认亲戚，在和Alec的交谈中她一直觉得很紧张，很不自在。
10.A文章第二段说苔丝觉得对方的脸上带有不同寻常的力量，眼睛中带有大胆的成分，第四段说，苔丝本希望遇到的是一个年老而高贵的脸孔。
11.D文章说到苔丝此行的目的：“来告诉你们，我们是同一个家族，我们几乎难以生存”。显然她来此的目的是D。
12.C文章最后部分，Alec对苔丝说，“那么，美丽的姑娘，你到我们这里来是作为亲戚来看望我们的？”由此判断本题选C，Alec觉得苔丝美丽而和她搭讪。
D篇：本文是媒体报道，关于一家博物馆的新展览。某博物馆为了一项新展览的需要，出钱向公众购买蟑螂。
13.D考查细节理解。从文章的叙述可知，博物馆出钱购买蟑螂是为了一项新展览的需要。其他选项在文章中直接批驳了。
14.A考查猜测词义。第七段说，Greig甚至把它们称为 “fastidious”，它们不在肮脏的地方拱食，仅仅在进入居家的路程中从下水道经过时才弄脏了。由此判断，该词的含义与下文提到的dirty相反，因此选A，他认为蟑螂本来是很干净的动物，却被人们误认为很脏。
15.D考查推理判断。文章最后一段第一句说“蟑螂还有其可爱之处”，接着提到蟑螂的可爱和安全方面，因此选D。B与文中up to 2 inches矛盾， C项说“蟑螂没有疾病”，这是文中未提及的内容。
16.C考查主题大意。本文介绍美国一家博物馆的新展览，他们向人们购买蟑螂，考虑新闻报道的时效性和标题的引人入胜，本文应该选C做标题：购买蟑螂的价格，以吸引读者继续阅读这篇新闻。 A显然错误。B项作为标题范围过大，本文只讲了腐蚀性昆虫展中的部分内容（收集的蟑螂）。C既体现了主体内容：收集蟑螂，又兼顾了新闻标题 的特点，适合作为标题。
E篇：本文是一则广告，介绍几本书的内容。
17.C考查猜测词义。划线词的语境说，该书挑战我们的现实感，将事实与科幻blend成一个故事新世界，由此判断其含义是C，“联合，结合”。
18.C这是第二则的内容，说派来到太平洋海底，和其他动物为伍，所有动物都想活命。
19.D考查推理判断。该书的介绍说，这本书探索“来生”的神秘，提醒我们，重要的是今天，由此判断该书的主题是D，了解生活的真谛。
20.A考查推理判断。最后一句说，在小说的饿结尾，Grogan谈到Marley给他的启迪，由此判断，Grogan是该书的作者。

Hello, everyone,
Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

This form displays the result of a survey on how to spend students’ weekend. It says that few students are glued to their schoolwork any more. Instead, they prefer to surf on the internet, watch TV, go shopping rather than involve in sports games. Library and interest groups are available but not favourable.
Personally I think, students are now freed from heavy burden but their spare time is not well arranged. They are expected to spend some time on what they learn instead of hanging out. More time should be spent not only on green field but also in the libraries to build up themselves physically and mentally. Besides, more interest groups should be established for students to widen their horizon and sharpen their brains so that they can become more creative eventually. All these will contributes a lot to a well-informed and highly qualified teenagers.
In conclusion, students should be more scheduled with colorful and fruitful activities.

I am Li Ming
of Senior Three,
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)

Dear Mr. Wang,
We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.
By the way, we often feel frustrated, which ha
