When I was 8 years old, I once decided to run away from home. With my suitcase 36 and some
sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door and said to Mom, “I’m leaving.”
“If you want to 37 , that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and
you can leave the same way.” I 38 my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor heavily and started for the
door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “I want your 39 back. You didn’t wear anything when you arrived.” This
really angered me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and 40 , “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” Mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so 4 1 that I slammed (砰地关上) the door and stepped out on the front porch. 4 2 I realized
that I was outside, with nothing on. Then I noticed that down the street, two neighbor girls were walking toward
our house. I ran to 43 behind a big tree in our yard at once. After a while, I was 44 the girls had
passed by. I dashed to the front door and banged on it loudly.
“Who’s there?” I heard.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the 45 answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Glancing behind me to see if anyone else was coming, I begged, “Aw, c’mon, Mom! I’m 46 your son. Let
me in!”
The door inched open and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your 47 about running
away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I answered. (277 words)

第8页 | 共25页第9页 | 共25页第10页 | 共25页Section C (12 marks)
Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the
context.
When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with
string. “ 4 8 the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪)
49 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem, 5 0 created
an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
The ball is made of 51 special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It’s lightweight, it’s flexible, and—
52 important—it holds its shape.
The One World Futbol needs no pump 53 won’t wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, 54
withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.
Although it costs more to produce 55 a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol
can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. (154 words)
第11页 | 共25页第12页 | 共25页Part III Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to
the information given in the passage.
A
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of
accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final
Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room
cost £118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your
time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date
and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good
base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your
holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest
room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube
journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost
a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering
flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great
example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late
September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have
similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or
car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for
two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). (358 words)

In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It
reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood
Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required
occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who
“bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school
from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed
the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather
than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking
and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at
Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared
to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and
cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild,
especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down.
When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate
Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me
to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree.
After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传
家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360

It’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the
Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book
lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It’s a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library
organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a
neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going
to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But
Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company
modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of
glass.
After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to
“take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide
and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels
and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home
mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The
library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the
beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words)
第17页 | 共25页66. In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?
A. It owns a yellow roof. B. It stands near a sidewalk.
C. It protects book lovers from the sun. D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
67. Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.
A. a visit to Brian Williams B. a spring break with her family
C. a book sent by one of her neighbors D. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
68. The library was built __________.
A. by a ship supply company B. on the basis of toy horses
C. like a mailbox D. with glass
69. What can we infer about the signboard?
A. It was made by a user of the library. B. It marked a final touch to the library.
C. It aimed at making the library last long. D. It indicated the library was a family property.
70. The passage tells us that the users __________.
A. donate books to the library
B. get paid to collect books for the library
C. receive thank-you notes for using the library
D. visit the library over 5 times on average daily

Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs, their key features are open access：they are
currently free to participants, no entry qualifications are required, they support an unlimited number of
participants and as yet, very few include any form of accreditation (认证).
Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the
financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications.
They also allow participants to study at their own pace.
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step
forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that
offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying
programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.
However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable,
with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields
that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with
participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if
there are several thousand students in the class.
第19页 | 共25页Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly
provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to
audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration. (271 words)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
“Let’s Talk”：The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people：street
performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was
a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment；she sat in
Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people.
第22页 | 共25页Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地)
beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her
are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an
important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same
way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public
space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard
to find anybody to listen. (303 words)
