Cambridge last January Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there the town deserved a visit The bus started at 6 10 a m It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived which wasted more time than we expected Tired with long sitting one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs The driver asked him to sit down but in vain So he pulled up and said seriously Either you get off or sit down To him safety is the first policy Cambridge consists of nearly thirty colleges The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 用心 爱心 专心 4 1960s The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings 出租房 and move into college for their final year Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city The university is not just one part of the town it is all over the town The heart of Cambridge has shops pubs and supermarkets but most of it is university colleges departments libraries clubs and other places for university staff and students Students fill the shops cafes banks and churches making these as well part of the university With over 10 000 undergraduates and postgraduates the town is a busy place indeed Students here are not allowed to keep cars If you happen to be walking in the street during a break better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions carrying students from one college or lecture room to another 56 The writer believed that the trip took more time because of A bad weather B unexpected stops of the bus C one passenger D an accident on the way 57 Why is Cambridge called a university town A It has 10 000 undergraduates and postgraduates B There are nearly thirty colleges in the town C All the students and staff live in the town D The university and town are fully combined 58 It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take as their first means of transport A boats B cars C bicycles D Buses B I came to study in the United States a year ago Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in an accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court After the accident my roommate called a doctor for me I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day But the next day he asked me to pay him 200 for what he had done I was astonished He had good reason to charge me he said And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury I d have to have a good lawyer And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer Now that he had helped me find a good doctor it was only fair that I should pay him But every time I went to see the doctor I had to wait about 50 minutes He would see two or three patients at the same time and often stop treating one so as to treat another Yet he charged me 155 each time The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me 215 My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met But after that he avoided seeing me at all He knew very well the other part was responsible for the accident yet he hardly did anything He simply waited to collect his money He 用心 爱心 专心 5 was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him And he made me pay him 770 Now I had to act as my own lawyer Due to my inexperience I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America Knowing that they played for time And I left without getting a cent My experience taught me two things about America Firstly in America money is everything It is more important than friendship honor or professional morality Secondly foreigners are still being unfairly treated So when we talk about America we should see both its good and bad sides 59 The author s roommate offered to help him because A He felt sorry for the first time B He thought it was a chance to make some money C He knew the doctor was a very good one D He wanted the author to have a good lawyer 60 A good doctor is essential for the author to A be properly treated B talk with the person responsible for the accident C recover before he leaves America D eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury 61 The underlined word charge in the second passage means A be responsible B accuse C ask as a price D claim 62 What conclusion can you draw from the story A Going to court is something very common in America B One must be very careful while driving a car C There are more bad sides in America than good sides D Money is more important than other things in America C Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year I and many others have followed his lead for the past three or four years They helped me a lot My words for last year were passion focus and delegate and I stayed true to them This year 2012 my goals are more personal and less professional FOCUS Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I m too much of a multitasker The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me When I was working as a writer all my projects were handled via a schedule which kept me organized This year I m going to have each task scheduled I m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule HEALTH I get so busy taking care of everyone else I forget to take care of myself and this has to change My health suffers and my weight suffers I have to get my health in check not only for me but because I promised my 9 year old 用心 爱心 专心 6 son I ll make sure to take time to exercise every day and make good food and lifestyle choices I miss being thin and it s time to get it back CELEBRATE What good is having it all if I m not taking time to enjoy it I have a wonderful job a happy family and so much to be thankful for So how come I spend all my time working Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years the best thing I ve done for myself and my family in a long time This year I m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings Do you have any words for 2012 63 The underlined word multitasker probably refers to a person who A makes a living by writing B always fails to finish a task on time C has several things to do at the same time D pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping 64 Why does the writer have health as one of his three words A He wants to take better care of others B He s gaining weight and feeling bad C He did not take any exercise in the past D He got the idea from his son 65 What can we learn from the passage A The word celebrate can remind the writer to enjoy life B The writer has a vacation with his family every four years C The word focus can help the writer focus on his family D The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise 66 The best title for the passage might be A Three Words for 2012 B Health Should Go First C Keep Organized D Goals for 2012 D A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane People with jet lag feel extremely tired for several days They may also have problems in thinking clearly and remembering Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study which involved twenty women who worked for international airlines They had served passengers on airplanes for five years These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones In the study the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas The researcher took some saliva from the women s mouths to measure levels of a hormone 荷尔蒙 that increases during stress He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen And he took 用心 爱心 专心 7 pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain s temporal lobes 脑 叶 It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory 67 According to the text jet lag A can cause difficulties in speaking B can make people feel tired for a few weeks C can be only found in flight attendants D can be caused by flying over several time zones 68 It can be inferred from the text that A the conclusion is refused by many scientists B scientists fear that this research is not done properly C every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests D the women who were examined in the research were not healthy 69 From the result of the research we can see that A the women who have longer rest at home show better memory B the women who fly in short time have smaller right temporal lobes C the women who have longer flights fail the memory test D the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones 70 What is the subject discussed in the test A The cause of jet lag B A story of a group of flight attendants C The importance of having enough rest after flights D A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分
