Mother Teresa (August 26,1910—September 5,1997)was a great woman who did a lot to improve the social condition of mankind.Due to her contribution in serving the society,she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize aged 69.
She was brought up in a Catholic family.When she was only seven,she lost her father.Even as a young child,she was interested in the life of missionaries(传教士).At the age of 18,she decided that she would become a nun.She left her home and went to join the Sisters of Loreto.It was the first step that she made towards providing services for mankind.
On the 7th of October in the year 1950,Mother Teresa received Vatican permission to start the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta,the mission of which would be to take care of the needy,the homeless,and people who were shunned by the society.Then it had a number of branches all over the country.The journey of Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity started with the setting up of homes for “the Dying ”.
In the year 1983,Mother Teresa suffered from a serious heart attack,while she was in Rome.However,she recovered.But,later in 1989,she again got an attack.Her health went worse and in the year 1991,she suffered from pneumonia.Taking her health problems into consideration,Mother Teresa decided to resign(辞职)from the post of head of the order.
A secret vote was conducted in which all the nuns voted for the stay of Mother Teresa except herself.So,she agreed to continue serving as head of the Missionaries of Charity.Day by day her health was getting worse.On September 5,1997,exactly nine days after her 87th birthday,this great soul departed for heaven.

Born in London in 1825,Thomas Henry Huxley was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century.In 1846 Thomas Henry Huxley was appointed assistant doctor aboard H.M.S.Rattlesnake.The ship had been asked to survey areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the neighboring seas.This gave Thomas Henry Huxley an opportunity to study animal life and was the start of his biological career.The voyage lasted four years,during which time he gathered much information on plankton(浮游生物).
On his return from the voyage,Thomas Henry Huxley was made a member of the Royal Society in recognition of his scientific work.Although he continued to publish papers about plankton,his interest was turning towards vertebrate(有脊椎的)animals.For some time Thomas Henry Huxley and his workmates had been discussing the possibility that animal species had evolved(进化),one from another.No satisfactory theories had been put forward,but in 1859 Darwin’s Origin of Species appeared.Thomas Henry Huxley at once realized its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided “the working hypothesis(假说) we sought”.
For the rest of his life Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwin’s work.In 1863 Thomas Henry Huxley published Man’s Place in Nature in which he compared man and great apes(猿).He clearly showed similarities.
Despite his many achievements,he was given no award by the British state until late in his life.From about 1870,Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual research.He had always been interested in education.He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting “type animals” is still followed today.He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile .But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world’s first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car’s parts to the worker,instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true,either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people’s ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile,almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford’s most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901,at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered,but only two were left: the Winton’s and Ford’s.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race,it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race,he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States.Within weeks of the race,Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903,a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford’s dream.Ford said,“I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family,but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”
The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T.So did farmers.Even criminals.They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T.They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T were built in the first few years.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that.As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz,Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz,make the music more accessible,and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan.“What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore.It’s actually color,and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost.“The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year,Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party,“Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran.“For me,it’s the recontextualization.In music,where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we,as humans,gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran,“so I want to continue those dialogues.Those are the things I want to foster.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日,希望意识到爵士乐的价值,但实际收效甚微。
12.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A.To remember the birth of jazz.
B.To protect cultural diversity.
C.To encourage people to study music.
D.To recognize the value of jazz.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.可知,UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日是为了让人们重视爵士乐,意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能,也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选D。
13.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Jazz becoming more accessible.
B.The production of jazz growing faster.
C.Jazz being less popular with the young.
D.The jazz audience becoming larger.
解析:选C 代词指代题。根据前文Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,and the music has failed to connect with younger generations可知,尽管UNESCO为爵士乐设了纪念日,但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少,并且年龄在老化,爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推测,that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。
14.What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A.It will disappear gradually.
B.It remains black and white.
C.It should keep up with the times.
D.It changes every 50 years.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same可知,Moran认为现在爵士乐不能 以1908或1958年的方式来呈现,因为世界已经不同了,所以爵士乐必须不断进步,说明随着时代的 发展,爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Exploring the Future of Jazz.
B.The Rise and Fall of Jazz.
C.The Story of a Jazz Musician.
D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.
解析:选A 标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日,但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步,否则将失去对人们的吸引力,因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来,故选A。

What is critical thinking?

17 .As the class goes on,for example,you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches.While this may seem like a purely mechanical (机械的) exercise,it is closely connected with critical thinking.If the structure of your speech is loose and confused,chances are that your thinking.If the structure of your speech is loose and confused,chances are that your thinking is also discovered and confused.If,on the other hand,the structure is clear,there is a good chance your thinking is too.Organizing a speech is not a matter of arranging the ideas your already have. 18

【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了夏至,以及夏至时世界各地的庆祝活动。
36.meaning 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语动词是originates,这里应用非谓语形式,mean与主语solstice是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此用动词ing形式。
37.As 考查连词。由语境可知,此处表示“随着白天变长”,故应用as引导状语从句,表示“随着……”。
38.highest 考查形容词的最高级。依据上文中的“the sun rises higher and higher”和“one of the great turning points”及常识可知,太阳在夏至这一天是最高的,故用最高级。
39.is marked 考查时态和语态。依据上下文可知,此处应用一般现在时;mark sth.with sth.表示“用……纪念/庆贺……”,此处应用其被动语态。
40.to 考查介词。When it comes to...表示“当谈及……”,其中to为介词。
41.celebration 考查名词。由句中的the county’s biggest可知此处用名词,celebration表示“庆祝,庆典”。
42.traditionally 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,该空修饰动词welcomes,故用副词形式。
43.is 考查主谓一致。动词ing形式短语作主语时谓语动词用单数。本句的主语是“eating lychees(荔枝)during the summer solstice”,因此谓语动词用is。
44.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰saying,从句中缺少主语,因此用which或that。
45.noodles 考查名词复数。noodle是可数名词,其前没有限定词,故应用复数形式。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Last Saturday,David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old.When David passed them,he heard the woman yell,“How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy.The boy said nothing.He just stood there,looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs.Brown in the middle school.After he entered the middle school,David lacked selfconfidence because he was often made fun of by others.He was often told that he was good at nothing,which David believed. But one day it all changed.
One day,in an English writing class,Mrs.Brown asked them to read a novel.They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book.A few days later,David handed in his story.He didn’t give it much thought.But the next day to his surprise,the comment “well done” from Mrs.Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David read that,he almost burst into tears.He never expected to be praised one day.He suddenly gained some selfconfidence.
That day after he returned home,he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs.Brown the next morning.And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing.He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs.Brown to read them and correct them for him.Mrs.Brown always corrected them for him.Mrs.Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them.One year later,David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it.He was no longer that boy who lacked selfconfidence.He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing.Several years after graduating from college,he had his first book published.With some more books coming out,he became famous as a writer in his country.And he owed his success to Mrs.Brown’s encouragement.Without her encouragement,his life might be very different now.
Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story,David decided to do something for that boy.

Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.He went to the woman,who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures.David started to chat with her.He told her that what she had said to her boy was not appropriate.Then he told about the encouragement he once got from Mrs.Brown.In the end,he said,“I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
Paragraph 2:
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid,which would make him lose confidence in himself.So she said,“Thank you for your advice.I’ll never say such things to him again.Instead,I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy.Looking at the back of the boy,David felt relieved,hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.
