19、The University of SheffieldBack to its originThe University of Sheffield is a research university in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It is one of the original “red brick” universities, which are a group of top and famous old universities. The University of Sheffield was originally

20、 formed by the combination of three colleges. The Sheffield School of Medicine was founded in 1828, followed in 1879 by the opening of Firth College by Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer (制造商), to teach arts and science subjects. Firth College then helped to provide money for the opening of the Sheffi

21、eld Technical School in 1884 to teach applied science. In 1897 the three institutions were joined together to form the University College of Sheffield, which in turn became the University of Sheffield by Royal Charter (特许) in 1905. This university is famous for its good education and boasts a number

22、 of Nobel Prize winners among its former students.More informationSystem: The University has five departments: Arts and Humanities; Engineering; Pure Science; Social Sciences; Medicine, Dentistry and Health. Sheffield also has many research programs in fields including aerospace, environmental scien

23、ce, psychology, and biology.City show: Sheffield is a lively city in the north of England. Sheffield is known as the greenest city in Europe because of its 2 million trees. As a result, there are many parks and woods throughout the city and beyond. Sheffield is the greenest city in England with 150

24、woodlands and 50 public parks within the city. Once, in Sheffield, the folk heroRobin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest with 150 of his loyal friends. And Charlotte Bronte, the English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre was born in Sheffield.1、Sheffield is in the of England.Aeast BwestCsouth Dnorth2、W

25、hich statement about the University of Sheffield is not TRUE?AIt has a good fame for many great graduates.BIt has a long history of more than 180 years.CIt is one member of “red brick” universities.DIt owns different departments and research programs.3、What can we infer from the text?ASheffield has

26、very beautiful scenery.BCharlotte Bronte is an English writer.CSheffield is the biggest city of England.DRobin Hood is a character in Jane Eyre.23（8分） When most people think of the word, “brand”, they think of the Nike Swoosh, Ford “blue oval,” McDonalds Golden Arches, or the “State Farm is There” j

27、ingle. They know what theywill get with a wellbranded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for instance, and your first thoughts are probably something like “well built, comfortable, Swedish” and, most of all, “safety”.So a brand is a lot more than a logo, icon, or slogan. Catchy as it ma

28、y sound, it isnt the “brand” in the true senseand it certainly isnt what makes the brand valuable.A companys brand is a promise. Its a description of the companys character. To some extent, its a mission; its how the company creates and delivers value. Also, its the feeling the company conveys to it

29、s stakeholders. Successful brands meet various challenges and consistently deliver on their promises, which is how they create brand value.To illustrate it, here are some brand promises from three highly successful, world-wide brands:The NFL: “To be the premier sports and entertainment brand that br

30、ings people together, connecting them socially and emotionally like no other.”Coca-Cola: “To inspire moments of optimism and uplift.”VirginAtlantic: “To be genuine, fun, contemporary, and different in everything we do at a reasonable price.”Interesting. In none of the above cases does the brand prom

31、ise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFLs brand promise says nothing about football. Coca-Cola doesnt talk about providing the best soft drinks in the world. And Virgin Atlantics promise goes a lot farther than seating passengers in its aircrafts.Of course, a promise is nowhere near

32、enough. The promise along with look, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and acquire a special patina(光泽) of what I call “me” appeal, showing my personal appetite. Apple has that patina. All of this can lead to sub-brands, like iPho

33、ne and iPad which acquire the glory of the parent brand.Sometimes a brand is memorable because of little things. TD Bank has a special place in their branches for you to deposit all those coins you collect in jars. It is called the Penny Arcade that turns depositing your coins into a fun game in whi

34、ch you can even win prizes. Years ago, Dime Savings Bank in New York had a small dime(十分硬币) carrier. It was given to kids and then theyd fill up its 50 slots (投币口) with a dime in each one and bring it to exchange for a $5 bill.1、What can we know from the first 2 paragraphs?APeople tend to believe in

35、 top brands because they deliverwhat is promised.BWell branded Swedish products are of good quality but more costly than others.CWell branded products are faced with great challenges of quality currently.DA company shouldnt care about logos because they cant make the brand valuable.2、In the authors

36、opinion, a brand promise is _.Athecontract between a company and the people who interact with itBthe only way to build and maintain a great brands valueCa description of what a company actually does for its consumersDan important factor contributing to the success of a brand3、According to the passag

37、e, what isprobably “Virgin Atlantic”?AA financial company.BA high-tech software product.CAn airline company.DAn entertainment product.4、What can be inferred from the passage?ABuying a certain brand says nothing about the person who buys it.BLittle things can mean a lot and make a brand memorable.CSu

38、b-brands are relatively easy to build and generate huge profits.DDime Savings Banks dime carriers are difficult for kids to operate.24（8分）The “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular every year with the increase of peoples income. After all, it can cost a large amount of money

39、to have this kind of holiday experience. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins by trying to predict where the dolphins will be.Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact (交流） with human swimmers, they do not like i

40、t at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent.In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the pres

41、ence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming among or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most likely to interact; they do seem curious about being with humans. It is be

42、lieved that they see humans as “entertainment” and that the interaction is a new and unusual experience for them.It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be discontinued. The advice is that dolphins should be given enough periods of time throughout the day when they are not

43、 exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves (幼崽） present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaigns about the creatures and what is likely to cause danger to them.It is not easy to explain to some

44、one that they cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams because the dolphins are resting, or that a mother dolphin and calf are in the area. But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins” industry worldw

45、ide.1、What makes “swim-with-dolphins” tourism popular?AThe local governments encouragement.BThe improvement of peoples living standard.CThe increasing number of tourists.DThe high profits of the industry.2、Why are young dolphins more likely to swim with humans?AThey do this out of curiosity.BThey li

46、ke humans better.CThey are less sensitive.DThey prefer new things by nature.3、What does the author suggest the “swim-with-dolphins” industry do in Paragraph 4?AMake people know the hidden threat to dolphins.BStrictly limit the expansion of the industry.CAvoid interaction with young dolphins.DExpose

47、dolphins to tourists only in the daytime.4、What is the authors attitude toward “swim-with-dolphins”?ANegative.BCautious.CSupportive.DOptimistic.25（10分）OPENINGS AND PREVIEWSAntlia PneumaticaIn a new play by Anne Washburn, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll, a group of estranged friends gather at a Texas far
