“ You can work alone with a partner.”

The 37 of the Challenge was simple— to build a protective container to keep an egg from
breaking when 38 the stadium wall.
I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. 39 the butter-cream gave me an

“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute(降落伞) 42 ?” Cassie rolled her eyes.”
The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”

When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good.
47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three
stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those
whose egg survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg
broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew”
after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50. The sidewalk was dotted with egg

Most young architects—particularly those in big cities— can only dream about working in a
building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one
else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell.
Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts film in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks
too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined
on three sides with rusting(生锈的)walls.
In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the
structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But
the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(排
除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building.
The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to
treasure what was there— the walls, the rust, the light.” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint
falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there—a slow-
motion show.”
Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to
the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back fo
the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲)
zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and
the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the
studio and the courtyard beyond.
Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience
from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced
their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of
less.
60. According to the passage, it is _______ for most young architects in big cities to work in a
Building of their own.
A. easy B. unnecessary C. unrealistic D. common
61. Yocum bought the old building because _____.
A. it was a bargain to him
B. it was still in good condition
C. it was located in the city center
D. it looked attractive from the outside
62. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell _______.
A. pulled rubbish out through the roof
B. removed the skylights from the bathroom
C. presented a slow-motion show in an art gallery
D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building
63. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell _____.
A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof
B. turned more old buildings into art galleries
C. got inspiration from decorating their old building
第6页 | 共16页D. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery
64. The main idea of the passage is that ______.
A. people can learn a lot from their failures.
B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building
C. people should not judge things by their appearance
D. creative people can make the best of what they have
C
You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you’re
yawning with him, though you’re not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to
sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who
were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力
的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly with out words.
Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that
happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critechley, our mind and
body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states
of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “ There are also more visible changes in our
gestures and facial expression. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person.
For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious
changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and
blood pressure.
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchroni se and when we like the other
person, we ever copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re
sitting— it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each
other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的)
but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “ Spend time with happy people— otherwise your
health could suffer,” said Critchley.” When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But
when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright,
our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”
65. According to Hugo Critchley, ________.
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions.
66. The underlined word “synchronise” in Paragraph 4 means “_____”.
A. move slowly B. change rapidly C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly
67. From the passage we can learn ________.
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
第7页 | 共16页B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans
used to be crazy about s specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption（消费）
on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost
abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as
famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential,
moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically
aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-
class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful
start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more
and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost
all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued
his consumer appeal. No matter haw famous the product’s origins is, if it fails to impress
consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing.
And once the initial（最初的）attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty (忠诚)
returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face ever more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be
bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to
reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame
has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s （自我的）
potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition,
many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and
failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but
fashion-like celebrity – has always been temporary.
69. Fashion magazines today ________.
A. seldom put models on the cover
B. no longer put models on the cover
C. need not worry about celebrities’ market potential
D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
70. A change in the consumer market can be found today that _______.
A. price rather than brand name is more concerned
B. producers prefer models to celebrities for achievements
C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned
71. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly ______.
A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products
B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C. cut short the artistic careen of a celebrity in show business
D. influence the price of a celebrity’s products
第8页 | 共16页72. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. celebrity and personal style
B. celebrity and market potential
C. celebrity and fashion design
D. celebrity and clothing industry
第二节 简答题（共3小题，每小题2分， 满分6分）
Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Show Sculpture Championships
Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-
five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged
the best.
As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that
weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced
snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.
Most teams are inspired by what they have seem in daily life. For example, one team carved
a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feed（后脚）reaching
into a fish bowl complete with water ripples（涟漪）and a crab(螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In
2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the
effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other
with their paw （脚爪）touching.
As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute
details. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts
down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools
behind, they will be out. When the whistle blows, everyone must step away from the sculpture.
The judges the vote on creativity, technical skill, and visual impact(视觉效果) of the designs.
In 2006, Team USA took firs place for their golden dog sculpture titled “Discovery”. But the
competition is not just about medals and ribbon.” It’s not about the prize,” said Rob Neyland,
Team USA’s captain.” It’s about touching the audience.”
Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next
masterpiece it will design.
73. What kind of tools are the sculptures Not permitted to use? (回答词数不超过6个)

74. What gives the sculptors ideas for their creative work? (回答词数不超过9个)

The best thing you can say about the roofs of most city building is that you don’t have to
look at them much. That’s very good, since an urban landscape viewed from above can be an
unlovely thing— block after block of tarred (铺有沥青的) black rooftops, sticky in summer,
windswept in winter, ugly year-round. Or at least that’s the way it used to be.
But urban roofs are going green. Environmental designers have begun to realize that the tops
of buildings don’t have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses,
flowers and bushes.
第9页 | 共16页A planted roof usually comes in one of the two varieties: extensive or intensive. The extensive
type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants.
The intensive type may smaller, but it’s relatively deeper and home to larger plants.
Whatever the design, green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. They have multiple
layers beneath the soil, including a drainage layer, waterproofing, structural support, and so on.
But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the journal BioScience tells that
green roofs can control temperature, contain water and clean the air, And most impressively, they
can cut heat loss from a building by 50%, lower air-conditioning costs by 25%, and reduce the
urban-heated-island effect by 2°C.
Of course, apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced, green roofs are even more
valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go. As
so often happens, what’s good for the planet can also be good for the spirit.

请从下列人物中选择你最喜欢的一位，用英语写一篇120词左右的短文。要求根据所给
信息作适当发挥，且需包括以下三部分内容：
1. 对该人物的简单介绍：
2. 喜欢该人物的理由：
3. 从该人物身上得到的启示。
Sample 1:Thomas Edison
Born in America. Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once
thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of
imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than
1000 inventions, In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which
helped him to cam the nickname “the Wizard of Melo Park”, He was also so diligent that
he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying. “Genius is one percent inspiration
and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can
be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where
you were born. but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
Sample 2: Helen Keller
Every time I read “…..if I had the power of sight for three days”, I cannot help being
moved by its author Helen Keller. an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she
was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication
seemed only a dream for her, But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the
guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sulliven, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous
writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we
have, and try our best go overcome any difficulty in life.
第11页 | 共16页Sample 3:William Shakespeare
Do you know Hamlet? Have you read The Merchant of Venice? These two great works are both
written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!
Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are
read all over the world, I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic
world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire
him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!
Since “Life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone had his
own role to play. and I will try my best to play my role well.

M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?
W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really
went to meet my new nephew.
第13页 | 共16页M: That’s great! How old is he?
W: Well. He was five months old when I got there. And he could possibly be the most
beautiful baby I have ever seen.
M: What did you do in your sister’s home?
W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot, which was nice. But what I enjoyed most
was feeding him.

M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving
cars on certain days.
W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days
is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.
M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People
are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving
on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around.
W: I see your point. But I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving.

M: Let’s go and have lunch together.
W: OK!
M: By the way, I’m thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It’s
such a beautiful country. I’ve never been there before.
W: Have you booked the flight?
M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two weeks’ time
W: Book your flight right now.
M: Why?
W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it will be. As a matter of fact, the
prices may double at Christmas time. New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas.
M: Then I’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning.

M: What is it?
W: The car’s broken down.
M: Oh, not again.
W: Yeah. I checked the oil and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all.
M: You have to get rid of it, you know.
W：I know ,Iknow. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I……?
M: Use my car? Yes, of course.
W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you.
M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight.

M: It’s all right. See you then!
W: See you!

W: OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some
well-known short story writers. I remember that many of you said you liked the American writer
Earnest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “A
day’s wait”, because as I said, we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now since you’re
supposed to have read this story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on
the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy read
for in the story and what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is
the boy’s father? Four, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing the story? I’d like you to work
in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is
everything clear?

第二节 写作
Sample 1: Thomas Edison
Born in American, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He once thought to be a
boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000
inventions. In his little time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him
to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Meio Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and
night. And this explained why he had so many inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying, “genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-
第15页 | 共16页nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking
learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when and where you were born, but what
you are doing and how you do it in your life.
Sample 2: Helen Keller
Every time I read “…if I had the power of sight for three days;, I cannot help being moved
by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was
19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication
seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the
guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sulliven, Helen learned to read and write, and became a famous
writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder.
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what
we have and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.
Sample 3: William Shakespeare
Do you know Hamlet? Have you read the Merchant of Venice? These two great works are
both written by William Shakespeare, my favourite English writer and the man of all ages!
Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that
are read all over the world. I like him because his comedies and tragedies gring me into a fantastic
world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire
him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!
Since “life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone has his
own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.
