            • 1. Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets,John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery,human nature,and philosophy.Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education,his own studies and passion brought him much success.Additionally,his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
              Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower,middle-class family,the young John didn't attend a private school,but went to a public one.His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies.After his father's death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核),he began viewing life differently.He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
              At around the age of 16,the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.However,his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy,especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser.He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816,entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell.Within two months in 1817,Keats had written an entire volume of poetry,but was sharply criticized by a magazine.However,the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm.
              John Keats'next work was Endymion,which was published in May 1818.The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human.Following Engymion,however,he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella.During this time,John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences.He would have to have the“knowledge“associated with his poems.His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned.However,a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

              56.John Keats'attitude towards life changed because of    
              A.his early education from school                  
              B.the criticism of a magazine
              C.Edmund Spenser's poetry

              57.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?    
              A.They read many books.
              B.They died of the same disease.
              C.They had a bad childhood.
              D.They showed strong interest in poetry.
              58.What do we know from the passage?    
              A.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
              B.Keats received little education at school.
              C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
              D.Endymion was about a real love story.
              59.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first,John Keats was    
              A.knowledgeable                                          
              B.experienced     
              C.determined                                                
              D.impatient
              60.What can we infer from the passage?    
              A.The poem Hyperion wasn't completed by Keats.
              B.Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats'time.
              C.It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.
              D.Keats'family must have been very poor when he was young.
            • 2. Growing up in rural Malawi,Africa,William Kamkwamba learned to accept that life was hard.
              He lived with his parents and seven sisters in a small clay house without electricity or running water.Like most boys in his village,William was expected to assist his parents on the family farm,as well as keep up with his school work.Each night,like most Malawians,his family went to bed early because the kerosene oil they needed to light the lamps was costly.
              A terrible drought in 2000 left many Malawians hungry,and William’s family was no exception.
              In 2003 at the age of 13,William and many other children were forced to drop out of school when their parents could no longer afford his schooling.William had to work even harder to help his family,but he wasn’t ready to give up his education.He went to the local library and took out some books to study.One book,called Using Energy,sparked William’s interest in science and gave him an idea that significantly changed his future.
              In the book,William found a picture of a windmill (风车),and a brief description of how it could be used to generate electricity from wind.He knew that there was plenty of wind in his village,and realized that if he could build a windmill like that,he could give his family and the.people in his village a much better life.There was just one problem.The book didn’t explain how to build a windmill,and neither did any of the other books in the library.
              What happened over the next year demonstrated William’s incredible ambition and determination.He began to collect any kinds of materials he thought could be useful-scraps of wood,broken bicycles,old shoes-and started to build a windmill next to his family’s house.He endured many challenges and failures.Other people in his village called him crazy and said his idea would never work.Finally,at the age of 14,William completed his first windmill.When they saw electric lights and heard the sound of music on the radio coming from William^house,the village people came running.He had done it.William Kamkwamba had found a way to capture the wind.
              Kamkwamba’s autobiography (自传),The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind^tells the story of how the rest of the world came to know about his achievements.With the help of international supporters,his village now has clean running water,solar powered lighting,and electric power.As a result of his actions,Kamkwamba was invited to study engineering at Dartmouth College,one of the top-ranking universities in the U.S.He also travels the world and gives talks about how he made his dream a reality.

              56.William went to the local library because    
              A.he wanted to find some materials for his invention   
              B.it was his favorite way to kill time and relax
              C.he wanted to continue his education    
              D.it was believed to be a way to change his fate
              57.Paragraph 3is mainly about    
              A.why the windmill is so attractive                
              B.how William got inspired by a hook
              C.why William decided to continue his education    
              D.how a windmill works to produce electricity
              58.The living conditions in William's village are much better now mainly because
                  
              A.William has helped build a power station      
              B.the villagers are greatly encouraged by William
              C.William、autobiography is locally popular    
              D.it has received much outside help
              59.William Kamkwamba can be best described as    
              A.ambitious and determined  
              B.honest and forgiving  
              C.brave and patient
              D.reasonable and humorous
              60.What is the message conveyed in the passage    
              A.We should strike while the iron is hot.
              B.A good beginning makes a good end.
              C.One who lives his dream can make a difference.
              D.You’d better not put all the eggs in one basket.
            • 3. Unlike chemists and physicists,who usually do their experiments using machines,biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats.But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves-all in the name of science,reported The Telegraph.
              1.Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956)
              Forssmann was a German scientist.He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery.
              Experiments had been done on horses before,so he wanted to try with human patients.But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.
              Not giving up,Forssmann decided to experiment on himself.He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut,putting the pipe 30centimeters into his vein (静脉).He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart.
              2.Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005)
              Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress,spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid.But in 1979an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called Helicobacter pylori.
              So he teamed up with his colleague,Barry Marshall,to continue the study.When their request to experiment on patients was denied,Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria.Five days later,he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each morning-he indeed had gastritis.
              3.Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)
              This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell.He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.
              Steinman knew he couldn’t yet use his method to treat patients.So in 2007,when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year,he saw an opportunity.
              With the help of his colleagues,he gave himself three different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法).Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer,he lived four and a half years,much longer than doctors had said he would.

              33.The passage is mainly about    
              A.some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners did on themselves
              B.difficulties that scientists went through in order to make important discoveries
              C.the reasons why some scientists chose to experiment on themselves
              D.three Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves
              34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?    
              A.Forssmann’s experiment ended in failure.
              B.Forssmann managed to do his experiment on different kinds of animals.
              C.Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.
              D.Barry Marshall’s experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors’belief about gastritis was correct.
              35.From the text,we can conclude that Ralph Steinman    
              A.discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cell
              B.tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himself
              C.knew that he himself would have cancer and die from it
              D.believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancer.
            • 4. With her pretty face and soulful voice,Zhang Bichen was instantly thought a possible champion when she first set foot on the stage of the TV show The Voice of China.
              On Oct 7,2014,the 25-year-old girl won the fierce competition and received the title of the“Voice of the Year”.Zhang’s dream of being a singer star came true at last.What impressed people was not only Zhang’s singing skills,but her willingness to make an effort.“I gained the opportunity to sing on The Voice of China,”she said.
              In fact,being a singer has always been her dream.She wanted to apply to a college for singing,but her parents insisted that she should have a stable job after graduation because she did very well at academic studies.So Zhang gave in to her parents and learned French at university.However,in the first year of her college,she was discovered by a South Korean company when she entered a singing competition.To pursue her dream,Zhang signed a contract with the company,started her career in South Korea,and became a member of a band.
              “My company had rules that did not allow us to use cell phones.During the first few months after I arrived in South Korea,a totally unfamiliar country,I felt terribly homesick.But I could only phone my parents in the restroom when nobody noticed.”said Zhang.“When I did not have much income,I had to eat instant noodles every day for months.”
              It was her positive attitude and outgoing character that helped her through.“When I feel down,I tell myself it is not winning or losing that matters.The most important things are standing on the stage and singing for people.”she said.

              21.On October 7,2014,Zhang Bichen    
              A.won the championship of The Voice of China
              B.signed a contract with a big company
              C.first sot foot on the Chinese stage
              D.was successful in her study
              22.The reason why Zhang learned French at university is that    
              A.she is good at French                
              B.French is popular in the world
              C.it is easy for her to find a stable job     
              D.she can realize her dream
              23.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?    
              A.The company in South Korea has strict rules.
              B.Zhang’s road to success isn’t easy.
              C.Zhang always lives a simple life in South Korea.
              D.Zhang has an outgoing character.
            • 5. Kailash Satyarthi and Malala Yousafzai,two child welfare activists from Indian and Pakistan  respectively,on Wednesday received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.
              At an awarding ceremony held at the Oslo City Hall,Norwegian Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjoem Jagland praised the two prize winners for their joint efforts and brave struggle in fighting  child labour in India and promoting girl's right to education in Pakistan.
              “A conscience exists in the world which extends beyond all national boundaries,and is  independent of religion,culture and social belief.It states that children have a right to childhood;  they have a right to go to school instead of being forced to work.They are not to start life as the  slaves of others,“Jagland said.
              The words of and deeds by Kailash and Malala are the best expression of this world conscience,said Jagland.
              In their speeches,the two distinguished people called on the entire world to stand up for child rights and welfare and make the world a better place for children to grow up while telling their stories and sharing their thoughts with the audience.
              There are currently 168million child labourers in the world,according to Jagland's speech.
              At the awarding ceremony a young man ran up to Malala and unfolded a Mexican national flag in front of the audience and press cameras.
              The man,whose identity is not known yet,was quickly taken away and handed over to the police.
              It was guessed that the man's action was related to the recent killing of school students.

              24.Why was Malala Yousafzai awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize?    
              A.Because she devotes herself to promoting girl's right to education in Pakistan.
              B.Because she keeps on fighting child labour in India.
              C.Because she is willing to share her thoughts with the audience.
              D.Because she calls on the entire world to stand up for child rights and welfare.
              25.According to Jagland,    
              A.a conscience depends on religion,culture and social belief
              B.only poor children have a right to go o school
              C.168million children have to work at present
              D.not all countries have the conscience
              26.What did a young man do at the ceremony?    
              A.Spoke highly of Malala.
              B.Spread a Mexican national flag.
              C.Took the police away.
              D.Killed some school students.
              27.Which of the following can be the best tide for the text?    
              A.Nobel Peace Prize.
              B.An Awarding Ceremony.
              C.Join Efforts and Brave Struggle.
              D.Kailash,Malala Received 2014Nobel Peace Prize.
            • 6. (2015•怀化一模)In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964I met with a fellow student,two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty.This was Stephen Hawking.I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his PhD degree.
              But,amazingly,he has reached the age of 73.Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle,but of course,he didn’t merely survive.He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research,for his bestselling books,and,above all,for his astonishing victory over hardship.
              Stephen received his“death sentence”in 1964,when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study.Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University.He was said to be a“lazy”undergraduate,but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree,an“entry ticket”to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement.Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair-bound,and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well.But his scientific career went from strength to strength:he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began.In 1974he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32.
              The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected-for instance,Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits.Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested.However,it has been hugely influential; indeed,one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理论) has been to confirm and build on his idea.He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top-ten living theoretical physicists.

            • 7. George Gershwin,born in 1898,was one of America’s greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
              Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way-from jazz to country.
              In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz,some people asked,be considered serious music?In 1924jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time,he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
              In 1928,Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger,but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style.While there,Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed,critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life,to others it was silly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.
              George Gershwin died in 1937,just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirty-nine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.

              D.written about New Yorkers
              32.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman    
              A.It attracted more people to theatres.
              B.It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.
              C.It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
              D.It proved jazz could be serious music.
              33.What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris    
              A.He argued with French critics.
              B.He studied with Nadia Boulanger.
              C.He changed his music style.
              D.He created one of his best works.

            • 8. (2015•日照模拟)The International Painting Contest on Google’s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange,but it spotlightings a very serious issue:clean water,which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.
              Audrey Zhang,a fifth-grader from Levittown,N.Y,is the winner of this year’s Doodle 4Google contest,rising to the top of some 100,000entries on the theme of“draw one thing to make the world a better place.”
              Her piece,titled“Back to Mother Nature,”describes a detailed water-cleaning machine.Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使…生动)her drawing.
              “To make the world a better place,I came up with a transformative water purifier,a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,”Google quoted Zhang as saying.“It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers,lakes and even oceans,then massively transforms the water into clean,safe and pure water.When humans and animals drink this water,they will live a healthier life.”
              She created a whole world around the device-one populated by humans,a whale in a top hat and dragons.
              Zhang,s piece is“so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,”Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post.“Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”
              Along with having her artwork featured on Google’s homepage,Zhang wins a 30,000 dollars college scholarship.In addition,her school will receive a 50,000dollars Google for Education technology grant,and the company is donating 20,000dollars in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.On Sunday,the night before her work was revealed on net,Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win,but said she wouldn't be awake when her art first went online at midnight.
              “I have school-tomorrow,so I can’t stay up late,”she told the paper.

            • 9. The world’s richest man might seem to have it all,but Bill Gates has one regret.The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.
              Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网),the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French,Arabic or Chinese.
              He said:“I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary.I keep hoping to get time to study one of these-probably French because it is the easiest.I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”
              Gates,who is worth 79.3dollars billion,praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese.“Mark Zuckerberg amazingly leamed Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students-unbelievable,isn’t it?”he said.
              This isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language.He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.
              Last February,Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself-to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife,Melinda,would likely want Samuel L.Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).
              He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.
              As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time,he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food,but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.
              When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way,the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break.‘‘Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting.You will regret it in the morning.Pam still working on this problem,”he said.

              28.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage

            • 10. Hearing Voices
              Would you like to be an actor,but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part?Don’t give up:there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.
              Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom.In addition to many appearances on television and in movies,Rickey is a voice-over actor,someone we hear but don’t see.Rickey has acted since he was 6,both on and off camera.After school,his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.
              Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting.They are the voices of cartoon characters on television,in movies and video games,and for communicating toys.In films,they replace the foreign language conversation with English version.They create crowd noises,make commercials,act in radio plays,and record telephone instructions and public announcements.They read books on tape and even record museum tours.
              Like other actors,voice-over actors need to understand scripts,interpret characters,and breathe correctly.They have to master voice techniques,such as pacing,volume,and range.Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises.Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集).He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.
              Rickey practices,then tapes at the recording studio.He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth,acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones.“The cartoon gets created after we record the words,so we have to imagine everything in our mind,”days Rickey.Later,the recorded words,music,and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV.Sound interesting?Maybe you can have a“voice”in acting after all!

              60.The sentence underlined in paragraph 2means    
              A.Rickey draws the character
              B.Rickey names Tucker Foley
              C.Rickey makes the character seem real
              D.Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley
              61.From the passage we can infer that    
              A.it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actor
              B.Rickey has been involved with acting most of his life
              C.Rickey was an actor when he was six
              D.many people have nice voices
              62.Paragraph 4mainly tells us that    
              A.a voice-over actor works very hard
              B.being a voice-over actor needs talents
              C.being a voice-over actor requires skills
              D.a voice-over actor has many techniques
              63.The information in this article would be most valuable to people    
              A.who want to build a career around their voices
              B.who need to develop their stage-acting skills
              C.who want to understand scriptwriting
              D.who need to practice voice exercises.
