His boy Benji, 21, was finally back to Australia after living most of his life in the UK, half a world away from his dad.As he looked out at the ocean, wondering how his son might have changed over the years, Phil saw some people on the kayaks (小艇) in trouble on the water. Without hesitation, he dived into the sea to help. And as he carried a stricken young man trembling and semi-conscious to the shore, he realized the young man was his long-lost son. “I looked at his face, and something occurred to me,” says Phil. “Those brown eyes were very familiar.” Although Phil had seen just a few photos of his son since the boy was eight years old, he recognized him at once. It would be reasonable to suppose it was a fathers instinct that incited Phil to help - but at the moment he dived into the water to go to the aid of the struggling group, he only thought he was helping a stranger in trouble. He said, “Two people were desperately paddling on one of the kayaks and it seemed like someone fell into the water. I told Lyn, Something is not right; Im going to help. ”“l took off my T-shirt and threw my keys on the sand. Diving into the water, I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying in the water. He was shaking violently. Linking arms with one instructor, I helped to carry the man out of the water. He was drifting in and out of consciousness and his hands and feet were blue.” Then Phil looked into the boys eyes and wept as he realized the stricken stranger was his own son. Phil recalled, “I asked the instructor, whats his name? ” He replied, Benji. In an instant, I knew that stranger was my boy. I checked his breathing and pulse and said, “Its me, your dad. Youre going to be OK.”Benji tells how it felt to be saved by his long-lost dad. “All I remember was waking up on the beach and seeing my dad there,” he says, “And I recognized his face straight away.”1.

It wasnt invented in the United States, and it didnt originate in Germany. No, the worlds first hamburger comes from China. If youre scratching your head right now, youre not alone. But Chinese hamburgers are very real and they definitely predate the hamburgers we call our own in the U.S. Known as rou jia mo, which translates to meat burger or meat sandwich, they consist of chopped meat inside a pita-like bun, and theyve been around since the Qin Dynasty, from about 221 BC to 207 BC. Despite the differences between this Chinese street food and our American-style burgers, the rou jia mo has been called the worlds first hamburger.The rou jia mo originated in the Shanxi Province of China, and is now eaten all over the country. Its typically prepared and eaten on the street. The dough for the bun, or mo, consists of a simple mixture of wheat flour, water and maybe yeast. Of course recipes may vary, but this basic equation makes for a chewy and subtle pillow for the delicious filling. While the mo is traditionally baked in a clay oven, today its often fried in a pan. They may look a little like Chinese steamed buns or baozi, but the dough for those are, of course, steamed, not baked or fried. The meat filling might consist of chopped pork, beef, lamb or chicken that has been stewed with a variety of spices, like ginger, cloves, coriander and star anise. You might also find herbs like cilantro or greens like lettuce garnishing the sandwich.5. What does the underlined word mean?A. noodle B. food C. bread D. beverage6. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The mo people eat today is baked in a clay oven.B. The worlds first hamburger which was originated in the Shanxi Province of China is popular around the world.C. The rou jia mo has a history of more than 2200 years.D. The rou jia mo and American-style burgers share a similar cooking process.7. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Delicious hamburgerB. How to cook hamburgerC. Chinese invented hamburgerD. History of hamburgerCSingles Day - the Chinese opposite of Valentines Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind Chinas “celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country. There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men.Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country. Singles Day cant solve all the problems Chinas singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.8. In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born? A. 50. B. 52. C. 58. D. 60.9. What made women in China get married late? A. Their support of the governments late marriage policy. B. Their higher education level and more work chances. C. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young. D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.10. Whats the writers attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China? A. Optimistic B. Concerned C. Indifferent D. Unknown11. We can learn from the passage that . A. Singles Day is celebrated all over the world. B. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage. C. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime. D. Singles Day will solve all the problems Chinas singles face.DFrom July to October every year, about a quarter of the worlds blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales paths and the ships travel lines overlap (重叠)，and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the worlds blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.” Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the worlds largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里 / 小时），the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.12. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_. A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding areaD. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequently13. Why is the death of several whales regarded as significant loss to the worlds blue whales?A. Because other blue whales will be scared away. B. Because the number of the blue whales is so small.C. Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.D. Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.14. According to Sean Hastings，its inferred that A. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.B. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.C. most of the worlds blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.15. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. The worlds largest shipping lines.C. Measures to protect the blue whales.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.第二节 （共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of their range, most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red, or even yellow coats. 16 Even in the same litter (一窝幼崽）, both brown and black furred bears may be born. Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds. 17 18 However, if attacked, most can climb trees and cover ground at great speeds. When angry or frightened, they are formidable enemies. Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, fruit, berries, insects, fish, and even larger animals. 19 Unlike squirrels, woodchucks, and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually hibernate. Although the bear does not eat during the winter months, sustaining itself from body fat, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute. 20 They prefer to live in caves. Baby black bears are born in January or February after a gestation(怀孕) period of six to nine months, and they stay with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in some nature reserves. A. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. B. Black bears mate all year round. C. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. D. Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous. E. Bears often eat a lot of food before they hibernate in their caves. F. Most black bears live alone, except during mating season. G. Their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell.第二部分 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳答案。Once upon, there were two traveling angels who stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
