Theybothworked very hard for years. ____25____ (earn)enough money, they finally could move from theirtwo-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused theirenergies on trying to have____26____ they consideredimportant for a good life: membership inthe local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends.____27____much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financialinsecuritythat ____28____(acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987,and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack,____29____ cost the family much. One thing led to ____30____, and they found themselves in afinancial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years ____31____Alan and Linda managed to land ontheir feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lessonfrom their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what ____32____ (remain) —a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends —do they realize that trueabundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.(B)We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this isnot always possible.

Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population inour country is male. Men ____41____ excellent carers and are ____42____ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of their children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews.Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are ____43____ stronger than women. Male nurses can help ____44____ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable ____45____. Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients ____46____ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different ____47____ from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only ____48____ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster.Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive ____49____ between male and female staff, and it will ____50____ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizingan open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!III.

While you’re stretching on the deck, others on theship are at work studying the data you have collected.The rock samples you collected are taken to alaboratory on board the ship. Tests performed on oceanrocks can show the age of the seafloor. Many people willstudy the videotapes of the swordfish. There is nothing like avideo to show others exactly what you saw and experiencedin the deep. Videos capture details of how animals move and behave—details that a person sittinginside Deep Worker could easily miss. Those details can help scientists better understand the roleeach kind of animal plays in its deep-sea community.While you were below, Deep Worker’s exact location wa s being tracked. Thus, detailed mapsof the seafloor, showing underwater canyons and mountains far beneath the surface can be madewith the help of this information. Dive by dive, Sylvia Earle and her fellow scientists are piecingtogether remarkable pictures of the deep sea—a world that until recently was as unknown as adistant planet.Since Sylvia first began exploring the waters around Florida, she’s seen changes —trash onthe seafloor, fewer fish, polluted water. These ocean problems in Florida and in many other partsof the world make people like Sylvia anxious. They want to know how to protect the ocean, andhow to restore it to good health where damage has been done.Sylvia and other scientists are learning more about the ocean, especially the deep sea, thanever before. The more we know about a place, the better we understand it. As Sylvia says,knowing comes caring. If people care about something, they will work to protect it.”　aph 3 refer to?66.

In most modern cars, accelerate normally, changing up at 2,000rpm in a diesel, or2,500rpm in a petrol-powered car. Once at a sensible steady speed, choose the highest gear thatwill let the engine run without labouring.A number of eco-driving apps are available for smartphones, to help you improve your smoothness.

Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin,have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial conques caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity, eliminating at least 15 percent of all languagesspoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 leftof the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating nationallanguages and sidelining others. By making great efforts to establish an official language ineducation, the media and the civil service, national governments have deliberately tried toeliminate minority languages.This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientificprogress, which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift, straightforward andpractical. Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge.Monolingualism became an ideal.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information byelectronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threatto “small”d. It is outA language not on th e Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern worlof the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are evident. First of all, it is possible that if weall ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural capacity forlinguistic inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language oreach language dies, a chapter of human historyresolve the mystery of “the first language”. Ascloses.Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of thefirst will inevitably lead to the loss of the second. Imposing a language without any links to apeople’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius. A language is notonly used for the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision ofthose who speak it, their imagination and their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languagesis an urgent matter.74. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A. Colonial conquests of Europe.B. The boom of human population.C. Advances in science and industrialization.D. The rise of nation-states.75. What does the underlined word “stifles” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A. boostsB. fuelsC. imposesD. kills76. The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that____________.A. people would fail to understand how languages originated.B. language diversity would become an obstacle to globalization.C. monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism.D. human brains would become less creative linguistically.77. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.B. To warn people of the negative aspects of globalization.C. To call people’s attention to the urgency of language preservation.D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.The launch of the UK’s biggest online university venture has the potential to “revoluti conventional models of formal education” and keep UK ahead in the global race to deliver the best education, says universities minister David Willetts.The FutureLearn project will see more than 20 institutions enter the global market to offermassive open online courses, or Moocs. Until now, the US has led the way in the creation ofMoocs, catering to an estimated 3 million learners worldwide with hundreds of courses from arange of top institutions.Bath, Exeter, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Warwick are among the 21 UK universities thathave signed up. The British Library, British Museum and British Council will also make materialavailable to students. The venture, set up by the Open University, is a response to the rise ofMoocs and will offer students a new and innovative way to access courses, says Martin Beanvice-chancellor of the Open University. Bean said, “Time and again we have seen the impact theInternet can have on industries — driving innovation and enhancing the customer experience. Ihave no doubt Moocs will do the same for education — offering people new and exciting ways tolearn.”A senior academic at University College London — which has chosen not to be involved inFutureLearn —has questioned whether the Mooc model is the best road for universities to godown. Although free for students, online courses have some downsides. Stephen Caddick,professor at the university, says students want flexibility above all. “Moocs are an online p of higher education currently experienced offline by a lot of students: inflexible”, said Caddick.“These courses are free to students, yet very expensive to develop for universities. ”Simon Nelson, CEO of FutureLearn, said university partners see this opportunity as “m extremely well spent”, helping them to boost their global profile and encourage experimentationand innovation within university departments. According to Nelson, FutureLearn will continue toexpand its number of partners both in the UK and overseas, as well as develop its commercialmodel, which in the future could see students paying to take exams and purchase extra coursematerial.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVEWORDS.)78. Besides revolutionizing traditional educational models, FutureLearn has the potential to______________________.79. How many learners all over the world have benefited from the online courses offered byAmerican universities?80. What are the two downsides of online courses mentioned by Stephen Caddic?81.
