第一节 任务型阅读 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), their key features are open access: they are currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet, very few include any term of accreditation (认证).

Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.

The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast — they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.

However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination bees a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.

Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

第二节 综合填空 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

The task of being accepted in a university begins early for some students. Long before they graduate from high school. These students take special courses to prepare for 11 (advance) study. They may also take one or more examinations that test 12 well prepared they are for the university.

If the new students 17 (accept), many universities will offer an instruction program for them to know the procedures for students advising, university rules, the use of the library and all the 18 major services of the university.

A few years ago, pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results. People thought that poetry was the new rock ‘n’ roll. However, despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets, poetry and pop music didn’t seem to mix. But are they really so different?

If you look back at the origins of poetry, there is a strong connection between poems and popular music. In Greek mythology, for example, the muse (女神) Erato is pictured with a lyre (里拉琴) in her hand, and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar. In addition, the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today.

But despite their mon origins, there are many differences between poetry and pop music. Pop songs are always written for a public performance, whereas poetry often isn’t. And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry. This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words. Pop lyrics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing. This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart.

Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings. Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship, such as falling in love or breaking up. The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in “serious” poetry. However, talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer stars like Robbe Williams, often give simple songs more expression when they perform them. And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry.

So although pop music and poetry have many differences, they do have one important thing in mon: the power to make us think about how we feel.

56. Which would be the best heading for Paragraph 4?

A. A mon beginning.

B. An unsuccessful experiment.

C. Some differences.

D. A similar message.

57. According to the article, what is the difference between poetry and pop songs?

A. There is more rhythm in pop songs than poetry.

B. Pop songs are more difficult to understand than poetry.

C. The words in pop songs are repeated over and over again.

D. Pop songs are not always performed before an audience.

58. What did Murray Lachlan Young do a few years ago?

A. He came up with a way of making poetry more popular.

B. He surprised people with his beautiful style of writing.

C. He wrote beautiful music for some famous poems.

D. He invented a new kind of poem for his fans.

59. The writer pares Erato to a ______.

A. Greek hero B. a relative of a pop star

C. a present day poet D. a classical musician

60. What does the writer say about talented performers today?

A. They look at poetry to find ideas for their songs.

B. They think their songs are more serious than poetry.

C. They give songs more meaning when they sing them.

D. They consider themselves to be more popular than poets.

I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.

I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day.

The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.”

Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students plained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.

So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.

“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note — the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ”

Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.

The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.”

When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”

61. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?

A. He reported them to the headmaster.

B. He lectured them hard on honesty.

C. He had them take notes before lunch.

D. He helped improve their writing skills.

62. The underlined word “forged” in the second paragraph means “______”.

A. former B. copied C. false D. honest

63. The author found that pared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually ______.

A. less imaginative B. more impressive

C. worse written D. less convincing

64. The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that the students could learn ______.

A. the importance of being honest B. how to write excuse notes skillfully

C. the value of creative writing D. how to be creative in writing

65. What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?

A. Effective. B. Difficult. C. Misleading. D. Reasonable.

D

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that petition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame petition. Among those who are against petition are young people who have suffered under petitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.

Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in petition.

66. Why do some young people suffering from petitive pressures seek failure?

A. Because they don’t think it worthwhile to pete with others.

B. Because they are aware that they will not succeed in petition.

C. Because they are afraid that they would not be valued if they lost.

D. Because they are fed up with the great efforts needed to pete with others.

67. The true petitors and those with a desire to fail both believe ______.

A. one’s worth is from how well he performs in parison with others

B. one’s dream can be achieved if he has mastered munication skills

C. one’s failure happens when he is suffering from emotional problems

D. one’s success is founded on how desperately he has tried

68. What does the underlined word “dissolve” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. recover B. disappear

C. settle D. accumulate

69. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A. One should treat petition as a life-and-death affair.

B. One should make every endeavor to avoid petition.

C. One should get rid of the fear of failure in petition.

D. One should be given rewards after peting with others.

70. What would be the best title of this passage?

A. petition! What Self-respect Depends on

B. New meaning in petition Found

C. petition Turns Friends into Enemies

D. Mistaken Beliefs about petition

阅读下面短文, 按照要求用英文回答问题。

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hour work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or hobbies. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.

Six percent of the workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted are Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she worked for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Nearly twice a month Daniel had to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have one here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some time getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

71. What is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world? (no more than 5 words)

72. Why do more and more people begin to change their ways of living? (no more than 15 words)

73. What was life of Daniel and Liz like before they decided to run a farm? (no more than 20 words)

74. What does “downshifting” mean according to the passage? (no more than 25 words)

75. What do you think of downshifting as a lifestyle? Please give your reasons. (no more than 30 words)

第二节 书面表达（满分25分）76. A possible version:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Li Hua from Class One, Senior Three. I’m writing to apply for being one of the host families to acmodate our friends.

In my view, this activity is of great significance since the friendship with them will be strengthened and the students participating in this activity will also benefit a lot.

There is no doubt that my family can undertake the task. To begin with, my proficiency in English enables me to municate with foreign friends fluently. In addition, my family can also meet the requirements in housing and means of transportation.

My family will make good arrangements to help them experience the natural beauty and cultural diversity of our city, such as showing them around places of interest like Ancient Culture Street, Pan Mountain and The Great Wall. We also plan to invite them to have a taste of local snacks and hot pot so that they can learn more about our life.

I would appreciate it if my application is taken into consideration.

Best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
