Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,”she said. “After everything I'd done for the pany, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to e and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.“The moment I arrived at Kathys farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay.” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “Its a hard life, physically very tiring.”she says. “In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathys wonderful dinners.”Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing-watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, “It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”36. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a _ life.A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring37.

Where there is a will, there is a way.C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing. D. Kill two birds with one stone.BOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and puter games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蠶食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (認(rèn)知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature ponent and that play in nature fosters (培養(yǎng)) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not responsible. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from puters is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite(儀式)of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoors citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 41. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _. A. kids miss the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the WoodsD. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 42. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _. A. keep a high sense of wonder B. be over-protected by their parents C. be less healthy both physically and mentally D. change wild places and creatures for the better 43. According to the author, childrens breaking an arm is _. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from puters 44. What does the underlined word “cement” in the last paragraph mean? A. strengthenB. enrichC. spreadD. present 45. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _. A. blame children for getting lost in puter games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about childrens lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things aroundCMalaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生蟲(chóng)引起的) disease, kills as many as three million people every yearalmost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can't) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its ine on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long. Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earthand one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have bee resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would e next.46. According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because _.A. they are too poorB. it is unusual to seek careC. they can remain unaffected for long D. there are too many people suffering from the disease47. People suffering from malaria _.A. have to kill female mosquitoes B. have ability to defend parasitesC. have their red blood cells infected D. have sudden fever, followed by chills48. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?A. Its resistance to global warming. B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations. D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.49. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. no drugs have been found to treat the diseaseB. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most peopleC. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasitesD. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease50. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?A. How can we know one is suffering from malaria?B. How many people are killed by malaria each year?C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?DMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信號(hào)). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize (強(qiáng)調(diào)) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an unfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化環(huán)境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.51. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _. A. develop closer relationsB. share the same culture C. get to know each other D. keep each other pany52. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _. A. the English prefer to make long speeches B. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD. even talk and silence can be culturally different53. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By sharing different ways of life.B. By accepting different habits.C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other' s languages.54. The author implies in the passage that _.A. Germans are less decisive and efficient than the EnglishB. the speech made in Thailand was not a success in the audiences eyesC. cultural differences hardly cause serious problems within European countriesD. its unnecessary to do a lot of “small talk” with people at work55. What would be the best title for the text? A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences. C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.第II卷(非選擇題,共35分)第三部分:寫(xiě)作第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)。 A new skateboard, named the Board of Imagination, proves that the future of travel is only limited by imagination. It takes orders directly from the riders brainwaves and transfers (傳送) them to a 800-watt motor, which drives the board forward. Decide a destination and how fast you would like to get there, and you can start with the the Board of Imagination. If you think thats too fast, it will slow down. The secret is in an onboard Samsung tablet (平板電腦) with Windows 8 and a headset that monitors and analyses (分析) brainwaves. Dr. Whurley showed how he mastered the board to travel from Point A to Point B. Now, hes the leading driver of the board in the world. He pared the process to imagining yourself pulling yourself along with a rope. If you “see” the destination in your mind, and decide how fast you want to get there, the Board of Imagination will do the rest. Apart from making you able to balance, the only other form of training is to marry your brainwaves to the puter software. The problem with the board is that users really have to keep their minds on the job at hand. If you start thinking about lunch or something that you might have to do when the ride ends, the ride might end a lot sooner and more suddenly than you planned. Whurly said, “We quickly realized that we would have to find a way to handle distraction. While we did the best we could, it was always an issue for most riders.”56. Whats special about the skateboard? (No more than 8 words) _57. How can you make the Board of Imagination start? (No more than 8 words) _58.
