Captain Henry，a 98”year—old American retired fisherman，has become a first—time author．having written and published his autobiography In a Fisherman’s Language after learning to read
at the age of 91．
Mr．Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was
illiterate（不识字的）．Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs，he kept the secret
close to his chest，only telling his late wife．Henry’s granddaughter，Marlisa，told reporters how
he used tricks，like waiting for others to order at restaurants first，to avoid the issue．
A family dispute（纠纷）in his 90s，she said，aroused his desire for education．“He signed
a document he could not read about where he was going to live， Marlisa said．Starting with his#p#分页标题#e#
name，he eventually moved on to the ABC’s and children’s books．He put them down sin ce his
wife fell ill．After the tragic loss of his wife，、he went back to reading and began to log his life．He wrote about his family’s voyage from Portugal to the US，how he went on to captain a boat，and his many journeys at sea．
His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two
weeks after the book’s release．One thousand more have since been printed as requests for the
book flood in from as far as Germany．And now even Hollywood producers have approached
Mr．Henry about buying the rights to his life story for a big screen adaptation．
The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition．Meanwhile，the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry’s．1ate—life efforts．。“Everyrone has a story，”Marlisa said．“It teaches that when you’re down and out．
never give up.”
56．When did Henry begin writing his life story？

Three—quarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year，but this booming industry has come at a price．Poisonous smoke rising from open fires，rubbish made up of plastic bottles，packets…it’S a far cry from the white sandS，clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives（马尔代夫），the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean．
of its 200 inhabited islands，which are spread across an area of“35，000 square miles，99 are good resorts（旅游胜地）．So many tourists come every year，more than double the local population．Of these，over l 00，000 travel from the U K．The capital，Mal6，is four times more densely populated than London．Given these facts，it’S hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem．
Y ears a90，when the tourists left，the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish．Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground．Four miles west of Mal6 is the country’s dumping ground，Thilafushi．What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes．Each visitor produces 3．5 kg of waste per day．The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day．#p#分页标题#e#
Now，since many waste boats，fed up with waiting seven hours or more，directly offload their goods into the sea，the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island．S0，the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead．
60．What is the main cause of the waste disposal problem？

C．The large number of tourists． D．Open fires on the islands．
61．The underlined part can probably be replaced by“——”．

A．It iS much more crowded in Mal6 than in London．
B．Another island will be used as a dumping ground．
C．No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives．
D．Waste on islands will be offioaded directly into the sea．
63．What’S the author’S purpose in writing the text？

B．To state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives．
C．To call on us to protect the environment．
D．To explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives．

The London 20120lympics are bei ng praised as a sporting and logistical（后勤）success，
but the influence on economy is far less certain．Some London tourist attractions，businesses and
hotels reported that their business actually fell during the Games．But as Olly Barratt reports
from London，the overall UK economy is looking for long-term results．
Th，‘owing an Olympic-sized party like this cost the UK almost l 5 billion dollars．But while
spectators went to east London’S Olympic Park，central London has been much quieter than。normal． Arthur lRason，a central London stallholder，said，“Am I taking less？Yeah，I’m taking
less．There’S no question about it．”
Restaurants were among businesses that reported lower takings than normal at this time of
year．And one tourism t．rade association says a survey of its members found the Games had had
a negative influence all over the UK．But during the recent recession（不景气），British officials
still insist the Games were worth it．Boris Johnson，Mayor of London said，“I think it’S been an
amazing display of what you can do if you plan and you work for years and years on a project．
And I think it’s a great advertisement for British engineering and British industry．” -
’The government hopes the Games will be a great help to the British brand worldwide，and
they are also an opportunity to sweet-talk potential investors from all over the world．And a fall
in takings for some attractions should not have come as a surprise．#p#分页标题#e#
64．Where is the London’S Olympic Park located？
A．Central London． B．East London．
C．West London．D．Outside London．
65．Mayor of London thinks the Games’effect on British economy is——．
A．positive B．disappointing

C．Most British businessmen thought poorly of the London Games．
D．Most British officials were worried about the future of British economy．
D
Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life’s highs and lows．
accOrding to British biologists．
Researchers identified different“personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness or
shyness of individuals，according to The Nature．Like people，some fish are very confident in the
face of novelty（新奇事物）or conflict；while others are silent and feaml．
The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout，and tested whether thev
changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them．They arranged some fish to fight
and others to watch to see how both the participants and observers responded to victories and
defeats．Winning or losing a fight，or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficuhies influenced
the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab．
The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents．to ensure that
they would win or lose their fights．These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even
bolder when later presented with a novel food item；losing their fight caused them to be much
more cautious．
Fish also learn by watching others．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object
were much more nervous when later given a novelty item for themselves．
Predictably，shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence，but surprisingly，shy fish
that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food，Sneddon said，adding
that this could be due to what she calls a“desperado effect”（亡命徒效应）．
The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt their personalities．The results
echo the effects that life experience can have on human．
67．What does．the underlined word“creatures’’probablv refer to？
A．Fish． B．Participants． C．Observers．D．Researchers．
68．The third paragraph of the text is mainly about—————一．
A．a conclusion of the research B．an explanation of fish characters
C．a statement of the experiment D．a description of fish fights#p#分页标题#e#
69．What can we know from the research？
A．Bold losing fish becom—e bolder when presented With a novel food item．
B．Losing their fights causes the bold fish to be much more courageous．
C．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous．
D．Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food．
70．What’S the main idea of the text？’
A．Fish have stress in the fierce fights．
B．Fish care about winning or losing a fight．
C．Fish have adaptable personalities．
D．Fish can learn a lot by watching others．

书面表达（满分25分）：
One possible version：
Hi Mark，
Hope all is well. I’d like to take this opportunity to share my plan with you on our Cross Cultural Communication Project.
To be practical， we can have four aspects in our communication. First， a brief self introduction is needed. Then， as students in both sides are interested in foreign students’ life， food culture sharing will surely be the most popular. In addition， each one is expected to describe the education that they are having in their own countries. Last but not least， exchange of skills for language study may be of great value to both sides.
That’s all. I’m open to your suggestions and expecting your plan. Only with joined efforts can the project be a great success. （115 words）

W： That’s correct. We have four seasons of spring.

W： Well， there are some restaurants in the market here.
M： Are they cheap？ I don’t have a lot of money with me， so …
W： You know， they’re like fast-food places.
M： Hmm， I don’t really want fast food today. Uh， what about my neighborhood？ There’re some cheap restaurants there.
W： But， uh， your neighborhood is 30 minutes from here by bus. And I’m really hungry. It’s 2:30， you know.
M： Right， so， how about， um … Oh， I know！ There’s a little French restaurant near here. It’s good and it’s not expensive. It’s about 15 minutes from here.
W： OK. Let’s go there.

W： What’s the matter？ You look upset.
M： I’m really annoyed with Sophie. You know I invited her to come to our house and spend the night.
W： Yes， I remember. And？
M： She said she wanted to come and she’d bring some videos. But she called an hour ago and said she couldn’t come.
W： Why？
M： She said her parents were going out， so she had to baby-sit her little brother.
W： These things happen. I’m sure it’s not her fault. Did she say she was sorry？
M： Yes， she did. But I got annoyed with her because she didn’t sound very sorry. If she’d called this morning， I could have invited someone else. Or I could have gone to the country with Erin.

W： OK， so what are we going to see today？ There’s so much I want to do and we’ve only got two days left of our honeymoon！
M： Yeah， we’ve already been here five days and we still haven’t been up the Eiffel Tower！ First， I’d like to visit the Arc de Triomphe today. I’ve seen so many pictures of it. Now I want to see it in person.
W： Yeah， me too. And then we can see the art museum， the Louvre. I’d like to spend a few hours in there.
M： Sure， but that won’t leave much time for Montmartre. We can see the famous church， the Sacre-Couer there.
W： OK， but I don’t think we’ll have time for that today. Let’s do that tomorrow. We’ve got time to climb up the Eiffel Tower， though. Why don’t we go there after the Louvre？
M： Sure， OK.

M： Mrs. Clark， I want to ask you something about application for a job. Can I send an e-mail instead of a cover letter with my application？
W： Yes， of course. But there are certain rules you have to follow. You should always open with a greeting. Make sure you add your signature at the end.
M： What about length？ I hate it when I get a long e-mail.
W： I think most of us feel like you， John. It’s good to stick to one page — no more than a letter-sized page if printed out. You should use paragraphs as well.#p#分页标题#e#
M： Can I depend on the computer to do the spell-check and grammar-check？
W： No， not really because， as you know， that feature is not always available on the e-mail programs， so make sure you check and edit it yourself. Remember also that it’s OK to add smiley faces when e-mailing friends and family， but never in a business e-mail. It’s time for class， let’s talk after class.

M： Well， Monica， I’m sure you’ll enjoy working here. I’m the librarian. We’re open from nine in the morning until eight in the evening but you’re not expected to be here all that time. You start working at a quarter to nine and finish at a quarter past five， OK？
Now， students aren’t allowed to bring large bags into the library. But staff can bring their bags in and leave them in the office. You have an hour for lunch. But I don’t like staff eating in the library. Of course you can have a cup of coffee there while you’re working. If you bring sandwiches for lunch， there’s a common room downstairs where you can eat them. If you want to buy lunch， I’d recommend the dining room upstairs. There are cafés in the town centre but it’s a bit of rush to get there and back in an hour though they’re cheap. OK. Any questions？
