11、部分：閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）A. Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy-theyre given after all. Choice can be hard. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that g

12、rew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me, I had just turned 30 years old , and Id been married for a year, I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most star

13、t-ups dont , and I wasnt sure what to expect, MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor, Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

14、 brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone

15、who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing

16、. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice, For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.21.

20、ntroduced new threats that were not known in the previous generations: Internet predators(掠奪者). Often we do a lot of our researching, shopping, talking; just about everything online nowadays. New advancements in revolution comes along with the unwanted attackers. There are people out there who gain

21、pleasure from, interrupting and taking from our peaceful lives whats not rightfully theirs. But like with everything, there are indeed counteractive measures that can be set in place to fend off these predators from such damage. Id like to introduce the Guardian Eye. Within this program is a complex

22、 program which has several functions to create a safe atmosphere for whomever uses the computer, It has the ability to track and log every key stroke, every website that has ever been accessed, takes screenshots of web pages, blocks web pages according to content and even sends you messages via emai

23、l once conspicuous(可疑的) activity has been reported and logged. Just think, you or child could be browsing and searching through the Internet and inappropriate content pops up with several different windows. You try to click out of the windows but you accidentally click one which releases spyware, in

24、fecting your computer. Guardian Eye blocks unwanted content from popping up or appearing to the users, which I thought was extremely convenient.

28、 attention to online safety.D. To tell us how to fend off online predators.C.No one would much like the idea of eating 61 pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easy-to-swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中風(fēng)) and heart attacks you would probably be putting

29、in an order tomorrow. Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管). A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the

30、lining of vessels in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(靈活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease-responsible for 180,000 deaths a year-and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes.

31、They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(關(guān)節(jié)炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer. Each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in tomatoes fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly

32、reduce cholesterol(膽固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease. Preliminary results from a two-month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to im

33、prove the function of the endothelium- the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise. Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge Universitys clinical trials unit, said “These results are

34、potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.” Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol-lowing drugs. Mike Kna

35、pton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, thats a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty

36、 of fresh fruit and vegetables.”28. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. We can eat too much tomato food.B. Tomatoes are helpful to strokes and heart attacks.C. Tomatoes will lose healthy elements were put into pills. D. We had better not eat tomatoes.29. We can learn from the passage that the pill

40、 proficiency ranked second to last in Asia, despite the great time and effort that many people invest in learning the language, the report said, Chinas mainland is ranked the 36th in the index of 54 countries and regions where English is not the native language. Thats down by seven places comparing

41、with that last year. The Chinese mainland belongs to the low-proficiency tier(低水平層次) and is ranked just above Thailand in Asia. This years index has increased the weight of listening tests, while decreasing the importance of grammar and vocabulary exams, which partly caused the ranking change, resea

42、rchers said. Moreover, test-oriented(以考試為目的) and rote-based(死記硬背)learning methods often used in China hurt the language skills of Chinese students, education experts said. The study compared test scores of more than 1.7 million adults in the 54 countries and regions. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherla

43、nds have the best command of English, while Libya has the lowest English proficiency level. European countries generally performed well.

49、 most. 36 But there are ways to increase your will power. Dont try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so dont spread yoursel

50、f too thin. 37 .Whatever your goal is, dont expect to achieve it overnight. 38 If you are trying to kick a coffee habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again.
