He once received the National Medal of the Arts from the US President Barack Obama and was called “one of the most popular and productive writers of our time”His carrier as a novelist began with the creation of Carrie. At that time he was a teacher and during the summer vacation he did part- time work to earn a little money to make his ends meet. However, the publication of Carrie was a milestone in his life and it also helped to better his standard of living.His books earned him fame and money and not being able to deal with the sudden success that he turned to alcohol. His book Cujo was written around that time and according to him, he does not remember having written it. The character of Jack Torrance in the novel The Shining is a reflection of King himself, but after his family took to questioning him about his drinking habits, he quit and never went back to it.His book Rage was about a school shooter and his violent doings, which the author wrote under the penname Richard Bachman. Years later, some school kids did such horrible crime and said they had read the book Rage. For the greater good of the society, the author suggested the book not be printed any longer.All knows him as an author but very few know that King, together with contemporary writers Mitch Albom, Amy Tan and cartoonist Matt Groening forms the band Rock Bottom Remainders and they even perform once in a while.Though creating horror stories, King often skips 13 as it petrifies him.

Participants use cardboard to create weapons, trucks, tanks, huge animals and so on. Then they put on monumental battle shows during which every creation is completely destroyed!Boxwars is the brainchild of Australian friends Hoss Siegel and Ross Koger, who came up with it nearly a decade ago over drinks. They did it at a party and had a great time, and then they decided to do it again.With each new boxwar party, the suits and structures became more and more carefully prepared until they couldn't fit in their back gardens any more. So they moved the party to a local park on Boxing Day 2002, and people who were having barbecues at the park rushed over to watch them. And that's when they realized that their silly games actually had huge entertainment value.That was the beginning of Boxwars. They go to the same spot every year on Boxing day.Today, Boxwars builds complex structures for each themed battle. The sport has expanded beyond Boxing Day it is now a part of nearly every major festival or event in Australia and around the world.Boxwars is now run by the Boxwars Council, and has lots of fans across the globe. “One of our main aims is to bring cardboard back to the consumers who deserted it in the first place without realising its true potential,” the official website states. “Cardboard, or the street name box, we quickly discovered, had brilliant properties for engineering. The limits of scale and awesomeness were continuously pushed to greater commanding heights with the development of our skills with this great thing.”28What can we infer about Boxwars? AAmerica is its birthplace.BIt is considered to be a waste of money. CIts first appearance was on Boxing Day 2002. DAll the weapons made for it will be destroyed.29What is a main purpose mentioned in the text to run Boxwars? ATo prepare people for possible war.BTo exercise childrens ability of using hands. CTo make people realize the use of deserted box. DTo provide a chance to satisfy people's curiosity.30What did Hoss Siegel and Ross Koger think of their idea of Boxwars at first?ASignificant and popular.BFun but foolish.CInteresting but expensive.DChallenging but beneficial.31What might be the best title for the text?ABoxwars a creative designBBoxwars a popular gameCBoxwars a new kind of boxDBoxwars a fierce competitionDAn image is worth a thousand kilos? Okay, so maybe not a thousand kilos, exactly, but a study shows how a photo diary can keep dieters motivated, making them more likely to achieve their target weight. Elías Kuzmar Daza, a medical professional from Colombia, studied the motivation levels of patients on weight loss programs at a nutrition clinic.Different measurements were taken of the patients each week, including body mass index（指 ）food and exercise diaries, etc. to record their progress. In addition, full-body photographs were taken each week, which proved to be very motivating and a key factor in patients completing the full program.Over the course of the sixteen-week program, a full ninety percent of patients, aged between 16 and 72, saw the treatment through to the end, with seventy percent successfully meeting their weight loss aims. Among those monitored, one measurement proved particularly motivating: waistline.This finding indicates that the majority of the patients who attended the clinic did so motivated by image, rather than any underlying condition. It should be pointed out that eighty percent of them were female.Another useful finding of this study was that patients did not necessarily need to attend the clinic in person for the program to be effective. A support line was set up, which patients could call to submit their measurements. They also took and sent their own full-body photographs to the researcher. Fifty percent of patients completed the program in this way.Summarizing the findings, Kuzmar says: “What patients want is a photo, rather than cold numbers.” These photos serve as visual confirmation that all their hard work is paying off, encouraging them on to further weight loss.32What is the purpose of the study? ATo show losing weight is very easy. BTo compare several ways to lose weight.CTo prove the effect of images in weight losing. DTo see how many people can lose weight successfully.33How many patients in the clinic reached their weight-loss goals? A50%. B70%. C80%. D90%.34What can give people most motivation when they are trying to lose weight?AFriends' encouragement.BOthers' strong muscles.CTheir slimmer waistline.DTheir standard blood pressure.35What must the patients do to complete the weight loss program? AGo to the clinic every week. BCall to submit their measurements. CReport to the professional every day. DTake full-body photographs each week.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。Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.  36  One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.   37  We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear. Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.  38  Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.  39  The synapses(神经键) in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping. If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information our brains may have smaller room for new experiences. Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40   “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E. Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.第三部分语言知识运用(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)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。Since my early childhood, my parents have always told me to enjoy every part of my life, no matter how ordinary it may seem.
