| The wisdom my 77-year-old father has passed on to me came more through osmosis (潜移默化) than lectures. My dad's 1 shines through all my life.

He did 6 the Hudson swim a month later. If you ask my father whether or not his life has been hard, he will say he is 7 . He means the kind of happiness that comes from 8 a well-cooked family meal, taking a good long run or growing a perfect tomato. Did I mention that he used to run marathons before his knee replacement surgery? He's the one who 9 me I could do it, too. " 10 can run a marathon," he said, "as long as you keep training. " My father was born in 1933. His childhood took a 11 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ : His father joined the French Army and was 12 by the Germans and spent the war in a prison camp. My dad and his mother and sister were shipped off to New Jersey to live with relatives. His mother 13 from depression, and Dad went to boarding school in New England from the sixth grade on. Yet in all Dad's dinner table 14 , there have been many times when he turned them into 15 stories. After a family dinner the other night, Papa Bob advised us to try the skydiving 16 "Sixty-five seconds of free falling," he said. "I 17 it. I should have been a paratrooper" He loves getting cards in the mail, and usually I'm 18 , so instead I call him on Father's Day. But this year I've 19 to be early for once.

| A new retail (零售) phenomenon-SampleTrend from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. From tomorrow, visitors to SampleTrend's central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge. For a nominal (象征性的) annual membership fee of ￡60, users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than ￡250 worth of goods every year. The only requirement is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Known as "try-vertising" (体验式广告), the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback (反馈.) before launching onto the open market. It is already popular in Japan and now aims to promote the broken UK retail industry. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest trading for six months. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind SampleTrend, said. "The concept behind SampleTrend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny." The concept of try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors, from cosmetic (化 妆品) manufacturers to drink makers, place new products on the shelves at SampleTrend and wait for consumers to try them out. Customers complete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product, and the feedback they provide is used to make any last-minute adjustment before the product is brought officially to market. The SampleTrend store houses everything including cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the beginning-a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses. |
| 1. What do we know from the passage about SampleTrend? |
| A. It appears in Britain first. B. It is unacceptable in Japan. C. Its products are totally free for people. D. Shoppers in it must complete a related questionnaire. |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT true about try-vertising? |
| A. Manufacturers can receive consumer feedback. B. Manufacturers can test their products. C. It can transform the economy of UK. D. It is simple but effective. |
| 3. The most obvious feature of goods at SampleTrend is ______. |
| A. cheap price B. newly produced C. high quality D. strangely designed |
| 4. What is Ghosh's attitude toward SampleTrend? |
| A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. |

| Wesla Whitfield, a famous jazz singer, has a unique style and life story, so I decided to see one of her performances and interview her for my newspaper. I went to a nightclub in New York and watched the stage lights go up. After the band played an introduction, Wesla Whitfield wheeled herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfield's voice was so powerful and soulful that everyone in the room forgot the wheelchair was even there. At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, humorous and modest. Raised in California, Whirfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza shop. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus. Walking home from rehearsal (排练) at age 29, she was caught in a random shooting that left her unable to move her body from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that she'd never walk again, and she admitted that at the beginning she didn't want to face it. After a year of depression she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment, where she was able to recover. Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate event was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable asset--her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, "Everything important is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind. "When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being annoyed from time to time, "Especially when everybody's dancing, because I love to dance. But when that happens I just remove myself so I can focus instead on what I can do. " |
| 1. In which of the following places did Wesla Whitfield once work? |
| A. A college, B. A hospital. C. A pizza shop. D. A news agency. |
| 2. Which of the following statements is TURE about Wesla Whitfield's physical disability? |
| A. It was caused by a traffic accident. B. It made her sad and depressed at first. C. It seriously affected her singing career. D. It happened when she was a college student. |
| 3. What do the underlined words "when that happens" mean in the last paragraph? |
| A. When Wesla is losing her mind. B. When Wesla is singing on the stage. C. When Wesla goes out in her wheelchair. D. When Wesla sees other people dancing. |
| 4. What advice would Wesla most likely give other disabled people? |
| A. Ignore what you have lost and make the best use of what you have. B. Be modest and hard-working to earn respect from other people. C. Acquire a skill so that you can still be successful and famous. D. Try to sing whenever you feel upset and depressed. |

| Several animal species including gorillas (大猩猩) the in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk extinction if impact of climate change and extreme weather on their homes is not handled, a UN report showed on Sunday. Released during the course of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO) shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels, deforestation and overuse of land have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa. "Many ecosystems have already been affected by increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, short-lasting management practices and even invasive species," Eduardo Rojas, assistant director general at the UNFAO's forestry department, said at the release of the report. The most affected areas include mountains, islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for animals to move elsewhere and create new habitats. "The remaining populations are limited to very small ecosystems. They have inbreeding (近亲繁殖) problems.., and at the end these species may disappear," he added. Other examples of affected animals include elephants in Mall, lions in Serengeti and crocodiles in Malawi. The report says about 20~30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of extinction due to global warming and a significant number of local species may disappear by 2050 as a consequence. Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases, it said. The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing with climate change such as inland waters, forests and grasslands. The UNFAO also called for the creation of movement channels for animals in areas where their movement was affected. The organization said while more resources (资源) were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at th government and policy level was needed. It also urges local communities to develop projects that ease the effect of climate change on wildlife, naming ecotourism activities as an example. |
| 1. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 2? |
| A. The theme of global climate negotiations in Durban. B. The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas. C. Harmful effects of damage done to ecosystems. D. Causes of damage done to ecosystems. |
| 2. Why are animals living in mountains, islands and coastal areas most affected? |
| A. They are frequently attacked by invasive species and infectious diseases. B. They have difficulty finding enough food for survival. C. They have little chance of moving to other places. D. They can hardly find mates to produce their young. |
| 3. To avoid extinction of some animal species, the UNFAO suggested all the following ways EXCEPT ______. |
| A. restoring damaged ecosystems B. limiting world population growth C. creating movement channels for animals D. urging governments and local communities to take action |
| 4. What would serve as the best title for the passage? |
| A. Climate change and ecotourism B. Human activities and the animal kingdom C. Gorillas, tigers at risk due to climate change D. How to balance human development and animal rights |

| Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought, and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley, Professor of psychology at Glasgow University, is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions. He believes we are very ambivalent about them: we think of our emotions as being unreasonable, but we also consider them as essential to being human. For example, Mr Spock, a character in the television series Startrek is super-intelligent--and he has no emotions at all! However, he is never made captain of the spaceship. Maybe, this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with-a person who shows his emotions. As Professor Oatley points out, our emotions have very important functions, for example, fear. If we cross the road and a car approaches, we usually stop moving or step back. We stop what we are doing, check what we have done-and pay very careful attention to the environment. The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which, on average, help preserve our safety. On the other hand, if things are going well and small problems come up, we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand. As a consequence, we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job. Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something. Then this small "kit" of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person, or to try harder, and so on. Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions. With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else, while with happiness they "suggest" we continue what we are already doing. |
| 1. What's Keith Oatley's opinion about emotions? |
| A. They affect reasonable thought. B. They get us into trouble. C. They are helpful to us. D. They are reasonable. |
| 2. What does the underlined part "we are very ambivalent about them" in Paragraph 2 mean? |
| A. We have contradictory feelings towards emotions. B. We have similar ideas of emotions. C. We are quite clear about emotions. D. We can do nothing about emotions. |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? |
| A. Fear helps us to be careful about our surroundings. B. Happiness inspires us to continue what we are doing. C. Anger may urge us to make greater efforts. D. Anger tends to do us more harm than good. |
| 4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. |
| A. we must control our emotions in daily life B. emotions play a more important part than we realize C. positive emotions such as love and joy are good for us D. negative emotions make us continue what we are doing |

| More than twenty tons of ivory (象牙), seized from illegal hunters, was burned in Kenya to keep the ivory off the international market and to discourage the illegal killing of elephants for their ivory. The past 12 months had seen a record number of large ivory seizures across the world, a wildlife protection organization said Thursday, saying it had been a horrible year for elephants. There were at least 13 large seizures in 2011, totalling at least 23 tons of ivory meaning that about 2,500 elephants were killed. This compares to just six large seizures in 2010, weighing a total of just under 10 tons, and confirms a sharp rise in the trade since 2007. This is the worst year ever for large ivory seizures in the past 23 years-2011 had truly been a horrible year for elephants. Most illegal shipments of African elephant ivory end up in either China, where it is made into powder and used in traditional medicine, or in Thailand, with Malaysia the most frequent transit country (中转 国). The increasing quantities of ivory being traded, most of which are from either Kenyan or Tanzanian ports, reflected a rising demand in Asia. They constantly change their transport ways to Asia to avoid detection, including switching from airplanes to seaships, and once the ivory products arrive, their documentation (证明文件) is rewritten to hide the fact that they came from Africa. As most large ivory seizures fail to result in any arrests, the criminals are winning and have illegally made large amounts of money. International trade in elephant ivory was banned in 1990, and ETIS (the Elephant Trade Information System) holds the details of reports on more than 17,000 ivory and other elephant product seizures across the world since then.
