A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 36 , before we took off, we heard the pilot’s voice throughout the plane, “sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 37 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机) on the ground right now, and we are going to 38 the engines with it. Once we get them going, we will 39 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”
See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to 40 !” There were sighs of desperation and __41__ spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn’t even 42 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 43 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again, “Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 44 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying 45 we had walked into grave. But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 46 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and what happened? --- 47 other than thrust (推力) and lift. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 48 for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 49 “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people chasing their goals halt(停滞) 50 with inaction just because they don’t have 51 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The ___52__ thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap¬pens.
If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as __53 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be 54 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 55 of guaran¬teed success.

37. A. power B. service C. water D. captain
38. A. shut B. start C. change D. fix

A
“It’s So Good” in French, was one of Eartha Mae Kitt’s first hit songs. But her childhood wasn’t so good. She was born into a poor family in South Carolina in nineteen twenty-seven. When Eartha was eight, her mother remarried. Her stepfather did not like her so she was sent to New York City to live with an aunt, who helped pay for her piano and dance lessons.
Eartha Kitt worked in a factory as a young teenager. But she kept up her dance lessons. One day she tried out for a famous African-American dance company. Soon, Eartha was performing in shows around the world with the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe.
In Paris, Eartha left the dance company to sing in a nightclub. Her voice was very attracting. She learned French quickly and gained French fans. Soon the film director Orson Welles discovered Eartha Kitt singing in Paris. Welles asked her to play a lead part in a play he was directing. The play made her find her acting talent for the first time.
After that Eartha Kitt returned to New York and appeared in the Broadway show with “Monotonous”, a song about a bored woman, and it became famous. She soon signed with a record company.
Then Eartha Kitt acted her first role in a film in nineteen fifty-seven in “Mark of the Hawk”. Kitt was very careful about choosing her roles in films. She refused parts that were not respectful to black people. In nineteen sixty-seven, Eartha Kitt got the part of Catwoman on the popular television series “Batman”. Fans loved the special way she said her “r”s to create a sound like a cat, which made her an unforgettable Catwoman.
She was strongly against the Vietnam War and in nineteen sixty-eight she became blacklisted(列入黑名单) in America. For about ten years, she could only find work in other countries. But that brought her a greater international achievement.

Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Germany are meeting increasing opposition across the country.
Anti-wind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the Brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines (涡轮机). For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to thwart the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country.
Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result, solar farms, biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013, 22% of Germany’s electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change, making up half of the renewable energy in 2013, and the public has been generally supportive. To date, a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the country have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forest in the central and southern areas of Germany.
One such region is the Rheinhardswald in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty , Rapunzel and others, made famous in the books of the Brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet, attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place!
Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. “It is not because this is the area of Sleeping Beauty,” she says, “I want the green movement, I want green technology, I don’t want nuclear power--- but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests.”
The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds including the endangered black stork. Campaigners say building turbines here would be disastrous for the birds.
66. The underlined word “thwart” can be replaced by__________.
A. support B. prevent C. increased D. promote
67. Wh ich of the following does NOT belong to green power?
A. Solar energy B. Wind energy C. Bio-energy D. Atomic energy
68. What percentage of Germany’s electricity was generated by wind in 2013?
A. 11% B. 22% C. 50% D. 60%
69. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author is against building more wind turbines.
B. The public prefers wind energy to nuclear energy.
C. Most Germans object to building wind turbines all over Germany.
D. The central and southern areas of Germany are rich in wind energy.
70. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany.
B. The Rheinhardswald is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty.
C. Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy.
D. Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.

A team of researchers in the UK has shown that children who were taken to the library more often and owned more books at two years old achieved higher scores in school tests when they began primary school. The research also showed that although social background has a noticeable effect on a child’s readiness for school, attending pre-school and having their parents teach them a wide range of activities have a positive effect---while extended exposure to television lowers their scores.
“One message coming through loud and clear is that how a child learns in his very early years is critical(至关重要的) for a smooth transition into the educational system,” said Professor James Law. “This is a very positive message, as it gets us away from the belief that a child’s educational future is pre-determined by standard measures of socio-economic disadvantage, such as income, housing, or the mother’s education.”
Data from the study shows that children from a positive communication environment had a better expressive vocabulary by their second birthday. These children went on to achieve higher scores in language, reading and maths tests when they entered school. In the early years, the communication environment was a better predictor of children’s success with language than their general social background.
Most children develop speech and language effortlessly, but some are slow to acquire these skills and go on to struggle with literacy(读写能力) and academic skills throughout their schooling. This project set out to uncover what factors contributed to these problems.
Professor Sue Roulstone said, “These findings are an encouragement to all parents to provide a positive communication environment for their children from the very start of their lives. The project did identify particular aspects of the communication environment, such as having children’s books around and not having the television on too much. But the main message is that, as parents, we can have an impact on how our children learn to talk by providing a range of communication experiences. And the better our children are at talking by the age of two years, the better they will do when they sta rt school.”
71. According to the passage, what is the most important factor contributing to children’s success at school?
A. Their general social background. B. Being taken to a library as early as possible.
C. Being involved in various activities. D. Their communication environment.
72. From the research, Professor James Law concluded that _______________.
A. children could naturally have a smooth transition into the educational syste m
B. the very early years had a big effect on children’s school performance
C. communication with children after they were over two years old was more effective
D. children’s educational future was pre-determined by their parents’ social position
73. The study shows that two-year-old children who have a positive communication environment do better in _____________.
A. maths B. reading C. writing D. speaking
74. What is implied in the passage?
A. The research could help children who suffer from learning difficulties.
B. Parents should take their children to school as early as possible.
C. Teachers should teach children how to communicate with their parents.
D. Children who have good language abilities will not have difficulties in class.

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 满分35分)
第四部分 表达(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)
【1】A meal in the US used to last for hours. People would sit around a table, talking, eating and drinking late into the evening. However, that just doesn’t happen any more. The average meal is 11 minutes long --- with some breakfasts and lunches lasting barely 2 minutes.
【2】But is eating at such a fast pace problem? Should we be concerned? The answer is “yes” and here are some of the reasons you should eat more slowly:
【3】Eating slowly helps lose weight. Studies show that “fullness” is a complex concept that combines the number of times you chew, the time you spend eating, the look of the food on the plate, as well as the actual amount of food you eat. Slow down and you may have a sense of fullness without eating as much as you eat fast.
【4】When you eat slowly, you end up tasting your food more. This is good because the more you pay attention to your foods, the more you’ll prefer natural foods. Here’s why: Most factory-produced foods taste great for the first 3 or so bites. After that they begin to taste uninteresting. If you slow down to chew them thoroughly, they’ll taste pretty disgusting. Natural foods, however, stay interesting as you chew them.
【5】 Eating can be a social event. Meals are a time when people gather and spend time together. Once the meal is over, everyone goes their separate ways. By taking more time at a meal, you’ll be able to talk with your friends and family more, improve relationships and feel more connected.
【6】Eating slower gives your stomach more time to start working on the food. When you send an entire meal down your throat in 5 minutes, you may find yourself suffering from poor digestion. Instead, take 20 minutes to eat the same amount of food. Your stomach will have a much easier job. Eating slower might also result in you chewing more, giving your stomach a head start in the digestive process.
76. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? (no more than 8 words)
______________________________________________________________________________
77. Why can eating slowly help with weight loss? ( no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________________
78. What is the difference between factory-produced foods and natural foods? (no more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________________________________
79. According to the passage, how can the effect of eating slowly on relationship building be best described? (one word)
_____________________________________________________________________________
80. What is the purpose of Paragraph 6? (no more than 8 words)
