E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus(病毒)called “Melissa” that disguises(伪装)itself as an “important message”from a friend. In spite of a weekend of warnings，more than 50 000 computers at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus，computer security experts said on Monday.
The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly on Monday by making computers fire off dozens of infected(被传染的)e-mails. Although the virus causes no serious damage to a computer，its effect was far reaching.
To make matters worse，a similar virus called “Papa” was discovered on Monday. Papa is programmed to send out even more infected e-mails than Melissa.
The Melissa virus comes in the form of an e-mail，usually containing the subject line“Important Message”. It appears to be fr om a friend. The body of the e-mail message says，“Here is that document you asked for...,don’t show it to anyone else.” Attached(附)to the message is a document file.
Once the user opens that file，the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends infected documents to the first 50 addresses. E-mails from the Papa virus include an attached spreadsheet(电子数据文件)file. When the user opens that file，the virus sends 60 infected e-mails.
The reason why this is spreading so fast is that you are getting it from people you know. You should never open documents or attachments from people you don’t know. People who get an unexpected e-mail with the “important message” subject line should delete it immediately and not open the message.
28. Thousands of computers were attacked by the Melissa virus _______________.
A. covered with an important message
B. under cover of a message needing immediate attention
C. under the clothes of an important e-mail
D. with a beautiful coat
29. The Melissa virus made a computer _____________________.
A. receive tens of bad e-mails
B. fire at many sick e-mail messages
C. send out scores of infected messages
D. burn with a fire because of many infected e-mails
30. After the attack by the Melissa virus a computer ________________.
A. was slightly damaged
B. became entirely out of order
C. could not send out any e-mail any longer
D. would have to be thrown away
31. If you opened an infected file by Melissa virus，the virus would ______________.
A. damage the user’s address book at once
B. soon spread through the user’s list of address
C. let the first 50 addresses go out of the computer
D. change the user’s address book in the computer
D
Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colourful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
“What’s that?” asked Norah.
“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently,’ I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But...”
32. The underlined word “cycle” can be replaced by_______________.
A. ride by bike B. drive C. walk D. go by ship
33. We can infer that________________.
A. a lot of friends came to visit them in winter
B. few friends came to visit them in winter
C. friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals
D. Norah was a good cook
34. Which of the following is the best title ?
A. A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea
B. A Warm-hearted Couple
C. A Clever Way of Escaping
D. A Visit to Norah
35. What is the hairdresser likely to continue to say in the end?
A. If I am tired, I say, “Sorry, can you come next time?”
B. If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How lucky! I’ve just come in!”
C. If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
D. If it is fine that day, I say, “I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place, anyhow.”

作文范文：
Dear Mike,
How is everything going?. June 5th is World Environment Day, so our school organized the voluntary activity. Let me tell you about it.
On the morning of June 5th, we gathered in the People’s Square. Then, we carried out many activities. First, we performed a play about our environm ent, which attracted a lot of audiences. After that, we gave out leaflets to passers-by to arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection. In the end, we picked up the litter and cleaned the chairs in the Square.
In my opinion, the activity is really meaningful. On the one hand, all of us have learned the importance of protecting the environment. On the other hand, we have not only done our part, but also encouraged other citizens to protect it.
Do you have such voluntary activities? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A难度:★
When I was about 6, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish but I knew there was little hope, for my family could hardly afford one.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. Immediately I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I was so disappointed. I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces when they noticed my expression. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad because I had made my parents feel that way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
My parents gave me much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it actually is. What matters is the love in it. I like to recall (回忆) this story because giving a gift is not about money or something else. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs $2 isn’t necessarily any less valuable than one that costs $100 or even more.
56. Why didn’t the author’s parents buy a new bike for him?
A. They were too poor to buy a new one.
B. They wanted to give the author a life lesson.
C. They thought it was a waste of money.
D. The old one was as good as a new one.
57. Why did the author smile as he rode the bike?
A. He liked it very much.
B. He wanted to make his parents happy.
C. He realised his birthday wish.
D. He could ride as fast as he could.
58. According to the author, what is the most important about a gift?
A. How much it costs. B. The use of it.
C. The love in it. D. How it looks.
59. What can we infer from the text?
A. The parents were strict to their son.
B. The parents bought other gifts besides the old bike.
C. The author will never forget his birthday bike.
D. A $100 gift is more valuable than a $10 one.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. An Unexpected Gift B. My Poor Family
C. My Birthday Story D. A Childhood Story
B难度:★
One thing we love about soup is that it’s easy to make and it only needs a few simple ingredients (食材). Here are four of our favourite, simple homemade soups. Enjoy!1.ChickenSoup
Chicken soup can help fight a cold. You can prepare your soup using a whole chicken or just thin pieces of chicken. Do either of them —although a whole chicken is likely to make your soup more delicious. The main ingredients are: chicken, water, onions, carrots, celery (芹菜), salt and pepper (胡椒粉). 2.WhiteBeanSoup
There are many types of beans to choose from. It’s simply a matter of personal taste. Dried beans are more traditional and cost less. However, canned (罐装的) beans also work. The other main ingredients are: onions, tomatoes and carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste.3.FrenchOnionSoup
When you get French onion soup in a restaurant, it might look a bit difficult to make. Actually, it’s not. The hardest part is cutting up all those onions —get ready for a good cry! The main ingredients are: six sweet onions, butter, water and salt. 4.GardenVegetableSoup
In summer, you may find yourself with a lot of vegetables that need using up. Throw in potatoes, rice or even some meat with the vegetables. The best thing about this soup is that you can put in whatever you want. The main ingredients are: onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes and potatoes.

The traditional school exercise books and pens could become history. Every student at Writhlington School is offered a laptop.
Buildings with wireless (无线的) systems will open soon. The laptop project will cost the school about ￡400,000. Parents are being asked to pay ￡2 per week for their child’s laptop during their study in the school. Those unable to pay will receive economic aid (经济援助).
The headmaster, Will Roberts, says parents think it is a "bargain (划算的交易)"because it’s expensive to buy a laptop.
"With the help of the laptop, any time the students want to learn, they can. Students there, aged between 11 and 18 can complete their homework by connecting to the school servers (服务器) from home. And their work can be marked at once and teachers share students’ work away from the classroom," Mr. Roberts says.
Mr. Roberts points out, however, that children will continue to use traditional learning materials. "There will always be a place for traditional writing and textbooks," he says. "But we want to prepare our students for the real world."
The project was started with the help of the government-supported charity, the E-Learning Foundation. It is trying to make information technology more widely used in schools.
Spokesman, Kevin Pay, says using computers improves students’work speed —"After all, there is no excuse for not having homework."
66. For what purpose is the school giving each student a laptop?
A. To prepare its students well for society.
B. To attract more students to study there.
C. To draw the attention of the public and charities.
D. To reduce the stress of teachers and parents.
67. From the text, what do we know about the project?
A. It will begin in several months.
B. It has received support from the government.
C. It is not good for poor families.
D. It is based on some research.
68. What is the parents’ attitude towards the project?
A. They like it. B. They are against it.
C. They don’t care about it. D. They are worried about it.
69. From the passage we can infer that the school must be a ______.
A. kindergarten B. primary school
C. middle school D. university
70. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.
A. computers can greatly improve students’ studies
B. the traditional books and pens will disappear from schools
C. students who are unable to pay for a laptop can have one too
D. computers make it easier for teachers to contact students

Hello, everybody. Today we are going to watch a movie. So first of all, I will introduce to you some types of movies. I know science fiction films. They are full of imagination —people from distant planets, UFOs, unknown powers from other planets, and heroes to save the world. I like these films because they have exciting high technology and beautiful scenes in them, and I admire the people who stand out to save the world. I’ve watched the science fiction film 2012several times. I like comedy films most. They have interesting plots and people laugh a lot when they are watching them. Whenever I watch the famous actor Zhou Xingchi’s films, I feel very relaxed. And there is another kind of movies that I seldom watch. These films are very popular among youth, especially those made in Japan and Korea, such as The Ring from Japan. The music and pictures in these films are terrible. They are really scary!

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
A
China’s hot word, tuhao, may be in Oxford English Dictionary.
In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with Apple’s gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhao golden”. The word is now often used to refer to people who have money but lack taste.
There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and No Zuo No Die, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phrase No Zuo No Die, meaning if you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and dim sum have also been included in the dictionary.
BBC World News recently made a special program called “Tuhao, let’s be friends!” “The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Beijing University.
What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language’s influence?
Xing Hongbing, a professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said “These show that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases are the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what’s happening in China.”
21. Which of the following words is NOT a hot Chinglish word?
A. Dama B. Karaoke C. Tuhao D. Dim sum
22. The word “dama” becomes so popular because ________.
A. they are wealthy middle-aged women
B. they bought gold crazily when the price was down
C. they made the gold price up
D. they worked on the Wall Street
23. What does the frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggest?
A. Foreigners want to know more about the lifestyle and culture of China.
B. Foreign people found it funny.
C. Chinese is one of the most important languages in the world.
D. Chinese people are very friendly.
B
It’s all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire to have space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference for personal space is different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
24. The writer mainly _________ in this article.
A. tells us how to achieve personal space
B. explains why people need personal space
C. introduces some knowledge about personal space
D. argues for the importance of keeping personal space
25. _______ might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?
A. A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.
B. A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.
C. A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.
D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.
26. What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?
A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.
B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.
C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs.
D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.
B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated.
C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.
D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.
C
When Johnnie Martin was in the second grade in high school, one day a psychologist of the school called him into his office.
“Johnnie, I’ve made a very careful study of you. And I feel sorry to have to tell you… Though you have worked very hard, it has not helped. You’re just not fit for it.”
The boy buried his face in his hands, “This will be hard on my parents,” he said. “Their one idea is for me to be a college man.”
The psychologist laid his hand on the boy’s shoulder and said, “People have different kinds of talents. Some day you will find what your special gift is and when you do, you will make your parents very proud of you.”
Johnnie never went back to school. Jobs were scarce in town, but he managed to keep busy mowing the lawns of the householders and puttering in their flowerbeds. Before long he discovered he had an eye for color.
One day while he was downtown, he happened to notice a stretch of unused land behind the city hall. Chance or fate or whatever you may like to call it brought one of the town’s aldermen(市政委员会委员)round the corner just at that moment. The boy said, “I can make a garden out of this dump, if you’ll let me do it.”
“The town’s got no money for it,” said the alderman.
“I don’t want any money for it,” said the boy. “I just want to do it.”
The alderman was shocked to find someone who did not want money. He took Johnnie into an office, and when the young man came out he had the authority to clean up the public eyesore. Before long the old dump became a little beautiful park.
It was also a kind of show window for Johnnie. People saw the result of his skill and knew him as a natural landscape gardener.
That was twenty-five years ago. Today Johnnie is the head of a successful business in landscape gardening. His aging parents are proud of Johnnie, for he is not only a success, but he has also made his part of the world a lovelier place to live in.

According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society showed that the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent – the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human being, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease, which develops over a long time and affects cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said.
32. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can recognize human faces from photograph.
D. They can tell animals from humans.
33. How did the researchers train the sheep?
A. By giving food rewards.
B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
D. By showing photos of famous people.
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.
B. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.
C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability says the same when shown photos at any angle.
D. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A Wonderful Scientist. B. How Sheep Recognize Each Other.
C. A New discovery about Sheep. D. The Life of Sheep.
