   If the world were a village of 1,000 people it would include:
   •584 Asians •124 Africans
   •95 Eastern and Western Europeans •84 Latin Americans
   •55 former Soviets (including Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and other national groups)

   •165 Mandarin •86 English
   •83 Hindu/Urdu •64 Spanish
   •58 Russian •37 Arabic
   The above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village.
   One-third of the people in the village are children, and only 60 are over the age of 65. Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modern equipment.
   This year 28 babies will be born. Ten people will die, 3 of them for lack of food, 1 from cancer. Two of the deaths will be of babies born within the year. With the 28 births and 10 deaths, the population of the village next year will be 1,018.
   In this village of 1,000 persons, 200 people receive 75 per cent of the income; another 200 receive only 2 per cent of the income.
   About one-third have access to clean, safe drinking water.
   Of the 670 adults in the village, half cannot read nor write.
   The village has a total yearly budget, public and private, of over $3 million—$3,000 per person if it is distributed evenly. Of the total 3 million:
   $181,000 goes to weapons and warfare
   $159,000 to education
   $132,000 to health care
   These weapons are under the control of just 100 of the people. The other 900 are watching them with deep anxiety, wondering whether they can learn to get along together.

      Although I started learning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”. We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.”In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.
      I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.
      To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.
      25. The underlined word “frustration” in the first paragraph means　　　.
      A. failure and setbacks　　　　 B. words and problems
      C. understanding and progress　　　　D. slang and idioms
      26. In the passage, “Literacy Volunteers” is　　　.
      A. only intended to help the Chinese-Americans
      B. an organization which is set up to make a profit
      C. of great use to people like the author
      D. a school showing how to enjoy literature
      27. From the last paragraph we can learn that　　　.
      A. Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something
      B. culture shock only exists between Chinese and Americans
      C. accusing others freely can be acceptable in America
      D. culture differences have great influence on the people
      28. The purpose of the passage is　　　.
      A. to show how hard a Chinese-American lives in America
      B. to share her experience of improving her English
      C. to imply grammar rules are not important
      D. to warn Chinese-Americans of English
      C
      While working in Southeast Asia in the mid 1990’s, I became a branch manager in a factory. At the beginning, I used human relations principles, such as putting myself into the others place to help gain trust. After a few months, I was told that the factory team members liked and trusted me.
      Then the owner, seeing how everyone thought well of me, believed that I could become an instrument of change to carry out his several unpopular programs. The factory members resisted and eventually saw me as a puppet controlled by the owner. The more I insisted that they ‘follow orders’ the more they found ways to weaken the new changes.
      Finally, I was replaced by a manager who knew enough to please both masters. Even though the owner did not like the fact that his new changes were not immediately applied, the new manager gained his power by the support received from his team together with an intention to find a way. What I learned was that your team must always see you as supportive of their needs, even to the extent that the owner may not be pleased that you are unable to follow their wishes. At the end of the day, if your people do not follow you then you are no longer in charge and will be replaced.
      At first I blamed my boss for putting me in such a position. Then in honest reflection, I began to realize that he had probably hoped that I would have found some middle ground. What I could have done was to first obtain their advice about why they did not wish to follow the new policy changes, and then I should have used my influence with both the owner and team members to find a better way.
      Though, in fact it is a painful lesson for me, it has served me well along my career path!
      29. What can we learn from the passage?
      A. Obeying is the best quality.
      B. Giving is always a pleasure.
      C. Appreciating others will benefit a lot.
      D. Dealing with relationship is important.
      30. The underlined word “puppet” has the similar meaning to　　　.
      1. instrument　　B. assistant　　 C. wretch　　 D. winner

31. Which is the right order according to the passage?

a. He was removed from his position.

b. He got on poorly with the coworkers.

c. He carried out the orders of the owner.

d. He became a branch manager.

f. He was believed in not only by coworkers but leaders.

A. a, b, d, c, f　　 　　 B. f, d, c, b, a

C. d, f, c, b, a　　　 　 D. d, c, f, b, a

32. From the third paragraph we can infer that 　　　.

A. the new manager carried out the programs at once

B. the new manager got on badly with workers

C. workers need to be recognized and supported

D. you should make full use of your power

D

Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.

Yoga (瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis (足底筋膜炎) in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation (拯救) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.

Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat (静修), and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K. I. S. S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.

Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.

Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.

33. According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people　　　.

A. grow taller B. lose weight

C. become flexible in thinking D. make more friends

34. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. What’s Yoga? B. How I Do Yoga Poses

C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga

35. If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next

paragraph?

A. Yoga as a means to keep fit. B. Different yoga poses.

C. Popularity of yoga all over the world.D. Encouraging people to do yoga.

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。

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

　36　When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 　37　A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, But it will force you realize what is happening to your time.　

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, Concentrate on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class. 　38　Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.　

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39

If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.　

Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over-worried.

　40　You will probably discover them after you have tried these.　

A. This will help you understand the next class.

B. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.

C. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

D. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

E. Plan your time carefully.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.

G. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

There is an old proverb “The writer creates half the text; the reader creates the other half”. The statement is quite apt and very clear to clarify the fact that　41　is very important aspect of education. Conversation, experience, reading and observation are the ways by which an individual 　42. And so it is clear that process of learning is　43

without reading.　

A very suitable example fitting in this context is from our evolution. We have　44

different ages, from Stone Age to Iron Age and from iron to space age, just by reading the hand　45　articles of our own ancestors and learning　46　their mistakes.　

When we　47　the pages of dictionary or search for a literal definition of “Reading”, we will find that it actually is a way of words attainment for active communication, and for　48　ideas and information. It is also a　49　of complicated interaction between the transcript and the　50　. The reading process obliges constant practices, progress, and improvement.　

Reading and education is not just going through the text;　it is actually a skill, talent or an expertise. It is measured by　51　parameters like phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

Skimming: It is a skill by which readers gather the most prior information. In this process one has to only go through the text, grasping　54　information. Understanding does not actually　55　here. Reading morning newspaper is the　56　of this skill.　

Scanning: It is used to locate or mind a particular piece of information. The reader in this process is more conscious. 　57　here is also not so vital. One can go just reading and noting the important information which he/she are　58　. Going through the travel ticket is the best example of this process.　

Intensive Reading: As the name suggest, this skill　59　 thorough reading. Understanding is also one of its important aspects. It requires a concentration from the part of readers. Going through educational note or property papers are the example of

　60　reading.

阅读下列材料，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中的语法的正确形式填空。

Anna pushed herself up from the bench and walked steadily with her walking sticks toward the office. As soon as she entered the room, she saw it. 　61　blue umbrella was there, unopened,　62　a floor-to-ceiling window. 　63　 (see) it so near, nearly within reach, Anna forgot herself and pointed to her possession.　

“That is mine,” she said. “My son brought it to me from Paris and I want it back.”

The man had risen when she entered and he　64　 (remain) standing. He turned to look at the umbrella 　65　she pointed. “Yes. I know the umbrella is from Paris, ”he said, showing a mix of innocence and curiosity. “Actually, it is　66　 (make) in Italy, but it’s sold in Paris. It’s not the one your son gave you. I bought it myself.”

Anna stared at him. Was he claiming that it was his own umbrella? She had run all the way to this office building from the shop　67　her umbrella was stolen.　

“My son gave　68　to me,” Anna countered. “It means everything to me, because my son is　69　(die).”　

As soon as she said them, Anna knew she had made a mistake. She had opened herself up to a stranger. He had no business knowing the most important fact of her life, a grief she kept private. 　70　could anyone understand what her son’s death meant to her?

第三节 书面表达（满分15分）

Sample 1:　

Studying at home or abroad? Opinions vary from person to person. I prefer to study at home. In recent years, many students prefer to study abroad, which they think will do good to them. However, I’d like to study in my own country—China.

While studying in China, I can enjoy so many advantages. Firstly, I can stay with my family, my friends and all the people who I am familiar with. I will feel comfortable and relaxed all the time. Meanwhile, when I meet difficulties, I will always get help from them. Secondly, the cost of studying is reasonable. My parents can easily afford it to me. I’ll never worry about the money. Thirdly, we have our brilliant culture that we should treasure.

All in all, we can get good education in our own country. Now, do you still prefer to study abroad?

Sample 2:　

Studying at home or abroad? Opinions vary from person to person. I prefer to study abroad. There are many advantages in attending abroad.

First of all, I can learn more advanced knowledge of science and technology. For example, the IT in America is the best of all. After learning, I can make contributions to our country. Second, I can learn and grow up in different cultures, which helps me broaden my views and understand the world better. I will visit a lot of places of interest and make lots of foreign friends. I believe it must be a wonderful experience. Third, I can improve my oral English in a better learning environment.

In a word, studying abroad is good for my study as well as my life. I believe I can learn more than at home. So I prefer to study abroad.
