Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and always in moderation (节制). As for myself, I wasnt interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in commonalcohol, and plenty of it. Not wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didnt matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out (喝醉). It seemed shallow to me. I wanted to get to know my new coursemates, not how fast they could down a pint of beer.Gradually, however, I realized that real friends dont judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend I went cycling with a coursemate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group, I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.Another valuable lesson I learned is that its perfectly okay to say “No” if you dont want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking (狂喝) has become the norm (标准). Many people who drink dont necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure (同伴压力) theyre afraid to say “No”.21. What shocked the author when he entered university?A. The limited activities. B. The popularity of alcohol.C. The strange campus. D. The drunken coursemates.22. Why did the author return home early from the events at first?A. He wasnt good at drinking. B. He had no familiar coursemates. C. He hated the way people got along. D. He was left out by the organizers.23. How did the author finally make real friends at university?A. By giving in to the peer pressure. B. By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks. C. By staying away from group activities. D. By joining people with common interests.B A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijings smog skies, creating clean air for the citys mask-wearing people.An electromagnetic field（电磁场）will pull particles（微粒）in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned. “Its like when you have a balloon which has static（静电）and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde. His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile （瓷砖，瓦片） capitals parks. With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem. Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results with the help of a team of scientists and engineers can be replicated（复制的）outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so theres not so much wind. Its a good environment to explore this kind of thing. Well be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegarrde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijings awful air pollution. “This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.” However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the citys people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.24. The device works by _. A. absorbing hair with a balloon with static B. creating clean air and let it out into the skyC. helping keep the particles out with more masks. D. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field25. According to the passage, _. A. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution B. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing C. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors D. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable26. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place”? A. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in. B. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device. C. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious. D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.27. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to _. A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally B. realize how serious the pollution theyre facing is C. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing D. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesC Is pricing a plane ticket based on the passengers weight fair? If youre taking an international flight on Samon Air today, your fare will be based on your weight, along with that of your luggage. The cost is0.93 to1.06 for each kilogram. The average American woman weighs 75.5 kilograms, far from the ideal weight for her average height. Her ticket on Samoa Air, at the1 a kilogram rate, would cost75.50. But lets be honest here. Since the adavantage American woman is overweight, the ticket will cost her more. Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton said, “Planes are run by weight and not by seat. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid.” He believes other airlines should adopt the policy. Its not a new idea. I remember a newspaper columnist years ago who put forth the idea that the heavier among us should pay more for their seats on planes, trains and buses. Who hasnt been squeezed into a middle seat between two plus-sized folks on a flight? Its happened to me; one time my married seatmates had purposefully chosen their seats to have more space until a sold-out flight put me between them. No one of my better flying experiences.What if such a policy is adopted by some airlines in the United States? Could such pricing provide a much-needed motivation for Americans to reduce body weight? I hope so. But, as we know, more than one-third of us are obese and another third are overweight. The high probability is that the heavy customers will not suddenly lose weight or stop flying, but will instead choose a different airline, simply moving the supposed problem elsewhere. Theres no doubt that the heavier will suffer more discrimination (岐视). Discrimination against the overweight in the United States has increased by 66 percent over the last decade “and is comparable to rates of racial discrimination, especially among women,” wrote Yale University researcher Rebecca M. Puhl. Your weight can affect your salary, your chances for employment, how others view you and even, now, your air fares. “If the policy succeeds it may encourage the spread of body discrimination across different industries and the wider culture,” said one British“editorial writer. He holds that it is companies' duty to provide equipment that meet the needs of their customers.And we'll see how effective it is as a business model.28. In Paragraph 3, Chris Langton _.A. explained the reasons for the ticket policyB. showed the difficulties of the ticket policyC. expressed his doubt about the ticket policyD. discussed the advantages of the ticket policy29. If some American airlines adopt the ticket policy_.A. they will possibly lose a lot of customersB. there will be less overweight peopleC. people will use other forms of transportationD. the problem of overweight planes will be partly solved30. The author mentions Puhls study to show_.A. women are less likely to suffer discriminationB. racial discrimination is getting worse nowadaysC. the ticket policy will have little influence on the obeseD. the ticket policy will make body discrimination more serious31. Which best describes the British editorial writers attitude to Samoa Airs policy?A. Optimistic. B. Defensive. C. Disapproving. D. Casual.DRepeated cases of child abuse in China have shocked the country. They also have led to more protection of childrens rights. But rights activists say the government and private groups need to do more to help children in need. Gege is seven years old. She has been homeless for almost half her life. Her mother suffers from a mental condition. They lived on the streets in Shenzhen for more than three years. A man named Xiao Xudong learned about Gege. He told her story to the local media earlier this year. Government officials heard the story and found help for Gege and her mom. The mother began to receive treatment for her mental problems. Gege was sent to a center for children who lost both parents. She was later re-united with her father. Her story has a happy ending. But social workers are not yet celebrating. Xiao Xudong spoke on Skype. He said, “We have many child protection organizations, but why do we still have so many children being abused and neglected?”A six-year-old girl in Yiwu was beaten to death by her own mother. Two girls in Nanjing died from starvation in their own home. The reports shocked many Chinese and led the government to strengthen measures to protect childrens rights.Xie Change is a lawyer. She offers legal assistance at a child protection service called Hope Home. Ms. Xie said that China has laws to protect childrens rights. But the laws are often unclear, she added, and difficult to put into effect. However, the government is starting to recognize the problems in the child welfare system. New rules state that parents or legal guardians who sexually abuse, sell, abandon or violently hurt children will lose their legal right to care for them. Ms. Xie approves of the new regulations. She says they are a good way to help protect children. But, she says police and other officials do not know about the regulations or do not always follow them. She also notes that the new regulations have the force of law, but they have not yet been written into laws. 32. The example of Geges life experience given in the second paragraph is to _.A. illustrate that child abuse has aroused the concerns of societyB. indicate the seriousness of child abuse in ChinaC. prove that every abused child that receives help will have a happy endingD. show that using the media is the best way to help abused children33. What causes the laws to protect childrens rights to be ineffective?A. The laws are so complicated that people dont understand them.B. The laws are so general that they are hard to put into effect.C. The laws are often ignored by the government.D. The laws are impractical.34. According to Xie Change, new regulations aimed at protecting children _.A. are more reasonable than before B. have got the best resultC. dont have the force of law D. should be written into laws35. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To call on people to have sympathy for abused children.B. To explain the urgency of the need to solve child abuse in China.C. To help abused children find a happy ending.D. To raise the governments concerns to protect children.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D。）Real-life Room Escape GamesReal-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit.The games are based on Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. By Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. 36 Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan, and China. 37 For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations. 38 Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.The games were so successful that the new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small, according to Want China Times. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August. 39 “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPad all day to experience real social circles,” Tian Xiaohuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan, told Want China Times. Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.” 40 Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily.A. Each game adds local themes to settings.B. And seven new game locations quickly followed.C. They should also be brave enough to face their fears.D. Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.E. Weekend or day event escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.F. Permanent real life escape games have been held in some stores.G. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby.
