what was expected. but it is a slowdown from 7.7% growth in the final quarter of last year. other data released with the gross domestic product (gdp) figure showed industrial output rising 8.8% in march from one year ago.last year china set its growth target for 2014 at 7.5%, part of efforts to stabilise (稳定) the economy after years of fast-paced expansion.chinas growth data is closely watched around the region. a slowdown could hurt asian economies especially those that export industrial products to the worlds second largest economy.a sluggish (萧条的) start for the year is not uncommon, due to the lunar new year holiday when many businesses and factories shut down for about two weeks.but recent data from the manufacturing as well as industrial sectors have been weak, raising fears of a lasting slowdown.among these concerns, china has recently taken more steps to speed up its economy.an inspiring measure announced earlier this month will see beijing extending a tax break for small and medium-sized companies.in addition, the mainland also took steps to open up its capital markets by announcing a tie-up with hong kong, allowing for cross-border investment. and in january, china launched a free-trade zone in shanghai, seen as a test bed for reforms in key areas of the economy, such as the financial and telecom sectors (电信部门) which previously were tightly controlled by the government.51. in the past year the industrial output in china _.a. has expanded by 7.4%b. has increased by 8.8% c. has reduced by 7.7%d. has risen by 7.5%52. which of the following statements is true

sluggish start this year.d. a slowdown in china has no effect on asian economies.53. we can infer from the passage for sure that _.a. the financial and telecom sectors will benefit from the free-trade zoneb. some key areas of the economy were out of control in the pastc. the mainland will no longer allow for cross-border investmentd. hong kong is building a test bed for reforms in key areas of the

robot cleaners and robot mops to help us around the house, so why not a robot to build our homes? wait no longer. now there is a set of electronics to do just that, build a house from scratch, and fast.forget weeks to find a builder and months for house construction; a machine developed in the united states can build a 232 sqm home layer by layer in a single day. university of southern californias professor behrokh khoshnevis has designed the giant robot that replaces construction workers with a mouth on an arm of crane, which spits out concrete and can quickly build a home according to a computer pattern. the technology, known as contour (轮廓) crafting, could revolutionize the construction industry.contour crafting could greatly decrease the cost of homeowning, making it possible for millions of displaced people to get on the property ladder. it could even be used in disaster relief areas to build emergency and replacement housing. as prof khoshnevis points out, if you look around you almost everything is made automatically these days, “your shoes, your clothes, home appliances, your car. the only thing that is still built by hand are these buildings”.the contour crafting system is a robot that automates age-old tools normally used by hand. these are applied by a robotic crane that builds a three-dimensional object. the nature of the technology means it will also be possible to create curved walls and architecture that is both “exotic (异国情调的) and beautiful” according to prof khoshnevis. as a result, it could be ideal to print out expensive homes according to customers demands.furthermore, prof khoshnevis believes that the technology could be applied beyond our planet. “contour crafting technology has the potential to build safe, reliable, and affordable structures, habitats, laboratories, and other facilities on the moon and mars before the arrival of human beings,” his website reads.according to the international labour organisation construction employs nearly 110 million people worldwide and “plays a major role in fighting the high levels of unemployment and in absorbing extra labour from the rural areas.” what the implications are for builders is, of course, a major concern. but khoshnevis says “the reality is that a lot of new jobs can be created in this field as well.” instead of building the house workmen are used to maintain the machine.55. which advantage does the giant robot have for the consumers?a. it saves a great deal of time.b. it decorates houses beautifully.c. it provides energy-saving apartments.d. it builds environmentally friendly houses.56. the underlined part “to get on the property ladder” (in para. 3 ) means “_”.a. to print objectsb. to predict disastersc. to purchase a housed. to accumulate wealth57. the new construction technology can satisfy the needs of _.a. low-income residentsb. wealthy immigrantsc. middle-income peopled. people at different income levels58. what influence will contour crating have on construction industry?a. many construction workers will lose jobs.b. construction workers will update their skills.c. more rural people will engage in construction.d. professionals will be hired to make robot builders.(2014年湖北省七市（州）高三年级联合考试) csales of crime novel the cuckoos calling have rocketed since its author robert galbraith was unmasked as jk rowling,

language copies had been sold in all forms, including e-books, before her unmasking.the author added that she had received two offers from television production companies. “the situation was becoming

drop on the previous week.elsewhere on the robert galbraith website, rowling has revealed the reason she chose her pen name. she said she picked robert because us senator robert f kennedy was her

and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others.self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. it is based on our judgment of ourselves, not on other peoples assessment, but simply on our own. our self-esteem is not dependent on our talent. some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselves.self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress management. why? the first three sources of stress are: predictable life event, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. these are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves. a positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the “hardiness” (强健) to deal with the difficulties of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be feared.the forth category of stressors is entirely the result of a low self-esteem. it is the category of stress that is most common and tiring over the long run. this kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until the self-esteem problems that cause it are corrected. learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress. self-esteem comes from the self, and cannot be promoted by others. a person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct (自毁). one cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagreed with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world. when the applause is gone, there is nothing left. only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about that will survive the stresses of life. self-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living.63. what is self-esteem?a. a kind of positive lifestyle.b. the impression we have on other people.c. our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. d. our understanding of how we are seen by others.64. what is the key to overcoming stress according to the passage? a. removing yourself from stressful situation. b. learning to love yourself for who you are. c. facing the stress and dealing with it. d. getting help from friends.65. the passage is written to _. a. tell people how to overcome stress b. help people form good relationship with others c. show the importance of feeling good about yourself d. provide the different methods to get a clear view of yourself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。(原创)real christmas trees on farms would not exist if people stopped buying them. just one acre of growing christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for at least eighteen people._66_ the forests of north america spread over roughly the same area of land as they did a century ago and in the past ten years have in fact expanded by almost ten million acres. furthermore, to guarantee a steady supply, one to three new seedlings are planted
