They travelled around the world, collecting wonderful works of art. When the war broke out (爆发), the son left to serve (服役) his country. The father was 36 of his son and wanted him to be a brave soldier (战士). 37 , a few weeks later, the old man 38 a letter saying his son had died while taking another soldier to a hospital. The man cried sadly. He even thought his life would not be meaningful. The next day, a soldier visited the old man and gave him a picture of his son. 39 the world would not think it a great work, the picture was important to the man. The following spring, the old man got seriously ill and died soon after. All of his paintings would be sold at an auction (拍卖). The auction began with the picture of the old man’s son. “Who will open the price at $ 100?” the auctioneer asked. No one spoke or 40 their hand. Someone said, “Who cares about that 41 ? Let’s move on to the good ones.” More people 42 . “No, we must sell this one first,” answered the auctioneer. “Now, who will take the picture of the son?” Finally, a good friend of the old man spoke, “Will you take $10 for the picture? That’s all I have.” “Will anyone give a 43 price?” said the auctioneer. No one answered. The auctioneer continued, “Going once...going twice...sold!” The auctioneer looked at these people and 44 that the auction was over. “According to the father’s idea, whoever takes the son’s picture will get the 45 collection,” the auctioneer said.

The doctors and nurses in the charity fly to the poor places all over the world to help blind people. But they need lots of money to do this, so the doctors at ORBIS hope that more and more people can raise money for them to support their work. One way you can help Detroit Public Radio is by volunteering your time during one of the station’s fund-raising(筹款)events, such as WDET’s Pledge Drive. We’re always looking for volunteers to help the station. United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) was set up on December 11, 1946 to help children in poor countries. It helps make the world a better place for children. People can help UNICEF by doing the volunteer work. Anyone with an interest in helping animals out is welcome to join us, whether (是否) you want to volunteer for a short time or a long time. If you love animals, please join us! 46. What is WDET’s Pledge Drive according to the information above? A. A kind of car. B. A fund-raising event. C. A radio station. D. A children’s hospital. 47. If Judy loves animals a lot, what may she be interested in? A. PPAR. B. Detroit Public Radio. C. UNICEF. D. ORBIS. 48. Where can you find the information? A. In a story book. B. In a history book. C.

Should there be a limit (限定) to the number of after-school classes that a young person takes part in? Personally, I think there should be a limit. I am an overtired and worried parent of three. We have been working to cut out as many unnecessary after-school activities as we can. There are many reasons for my worry. One of the reasons is that we just don’t have enough time as a family. We often sat around the table and discussed something at the dinner table in the past. We are lucky now if we even get dinner, let alone eat it as a family. Another reason for the worry is that my kids’ grades are falling. These kids who used to be ‘A’ and ‘B’ students are now trying very hard to keep a ‘C’ in most classes. There just isn’t enough time for homework. School education should be the most important—not the after-school classes. The final reason I feel worried is that we are all so tired. Everyone is running three different places to take different classes. The kids are so tired that they are even falling asleep in class. Kids need time to rest, play, imagine, and create (创造). After-school classes claim (声称) to create well-round kids, but as a result, they actually take away the happiness and free time of the kids. 49. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①＝Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 50. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A. happiness and free time B. after-school classes C. well-round kids D. three different places 51. The purpose of this passage is to ________. A. explain why more and more kids need after-school classes B. show it’s necessary to control the number of after-school classes C. encourage kids to take part in more after-school classes D. show people’s different opinions about after-school classes C Many police stations across the world have long used facial recognition (面部识别) technology to search for and help catch criminals. The technology has been used at some US airports to help find out who the travellers are and get them on flights. It is also used to unlock (解锁) phones or cars. Some robots use facial recognition to recognise the people they’re communicating with. Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection, is entering a new field: the business of advertisements (广告). Facial detection systems are used to watch people and try to guess some facts about them. In the US, such systems are being tested in a small number of stores. Businesses use cameras set up inside the stores or public areas. The cameras scan (扫描) the faces of people and guess their age and other information. Some systems are also used to judge a person’s feelings. That information can then be used to show people real-time advertisements on video screens during their visit to the stores. One facial detection system developed by a company called Mood Media wants to judge how happy or afraid a person is. Businesses could use such information to get real-time feelings from people as they look at products or video ads in the store. Supporters of the technology say facial systems could improve the buyers’ experience by drawing their attention to products they might like or by offering them special ideas. However, some people have criticized (批评) the use of such facial detection systems. Pam Dixon, a group leader that researches human rights problems, said that the technology could lead to some trouble. For example, a business could set a high price for a product because of a person’s information. “They shouldn’t gather the feelings of anyone by using facial detection systems,” Dixon said. 52. According to Paragraph 1, facial recognition technology can help ________. A. buy the tickets at airports B. lock smartphones or cars C. find people that the police wants D. choose people we want to talk with 53. From the passage, we know that facial detection technology ________. A. uses cameras to scan movements of customers B. is being tested in many stores in the whole world C. helps show people things they may be interested in D influences people’s needs by comparing their feelings 54. The word “gather” probably means “________”. A. care B. collect C. control D. forget 55. The writer mainly wants to tell us ________. A. the inventor and users of facial detection technology B. the trouble of collecting people’s feelings and information C. the reason of using facial recognition technology in the world D. different opinions about the use of facial detection technology 第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题 共55分） 5、 词汇（共10分，每小题1分） A）根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，每空一词。 56.

Here are some tips for telephone interviews: Predict the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. Practise the answers orally until you are satisfied with yourself. The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements. Keep your notes easy to get. Have any key information next to the phone, covering your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared for. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared. Avoid salary(薪水) topics. When you are asked how much money you would expect, it’s not wise if you give no answer. But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on salary .” Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in your company. If possible, I’d be really happy to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Which would be better for you?” After the telephone interview, only a few are left for face-to-face interview, so get prepared and good luck!

Younger students may feel happier in a home t　 81 　 in a hotel, for they can have someone caring for t　 82 　like their parents. Many British people like to be the "host" to tourists around the world, especially to f　 83 　 students. This is not just because being a host will bring in some extra money, but because they really enjoy letting someone f　 84 a different country live in their house and sharing part of their daily life. A "host" family is not always made up of two parents with children. People like this are often t　 85 　busy to take care of a student besides their own children. However, a widow（寡妇），or a couple whose children are away at school or grown up, often make excellent "host", for they have e　 86 time to spare. Students should try to fit in with the everyday life of the family. There may be some d　 87 　and misunderstanding on either side, but it is easy to clear them up quickly with good will and good humor. The secret of your success is to be interested. And a host tries to create more c　 88 for the student to practise English. He always encourages（鼓励）the student to s　 89 　English as much as possible in the home.
