Section II Use of English (15 minutes)Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I’ ve had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 【C1】______ Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun’ s rays.【C2】______Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily. 【C3】______Research on 280 volunteers there found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area. One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current.【C4】______Although “earthing” or “grounding” is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches. 【C5】______A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported more energy and less anger, tension, and depression—all factors contributing to heart attack—than those who worked out indoors.[A]Exercising indoors is another option.[B]It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.[C]Exercising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors.[D]In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice.[E]Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health.[F]As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart.[G]You’ll get greater health benefits exercising where it’ s green.

Section III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

Part ADirections: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “ 123456” or “12345” are also common choices. That predictability lets security researchers(and hackers)create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on. However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their

owners. Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords: those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens” that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked. But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: “An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts. “ And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker. One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’ s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.

41． People tend to use passwords that are______. A．easy to remember B．hard to figure out C．random numbers D．popular names

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。在第一段第三句提到“A good password has tobe both easy to remember and hard to guess，but in practice peopleseem to pay attention to the former．”一个好的密码应该兼具容易记忆和难以猜测的特点，但在实际生活中，人们看起来更偏重于前者。由此可知，虽然密码两个特点都很重要，但人们在使用中还是更注重记忆的方便，故选A。

42． Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to ______.

A．lack of research tools B．lack of research funds C．limited time of studies D．limited size of samples

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。根据第二段，研究者认为想要测算密码不安全的程度是很困难的，因为许多研究都只能在少量的样本上展开。这说明困难是由于缺少样本造成的，与D项相符，故选D。

43． It is indicated in the text that______.

A．Indonesians are sensitive to password security B．young people tend to have secure passwords C．nag screens help little in password security D．passwords for credit cards are usually safe

正确答案：C 解析：推理题。A项“印尼人对密码安全很敏感”，这与第四段第三句中“those who spoke Indonesian the least”相反；B项“年轻人倾向使用安全的密码”，这与第四段第二句“Older users hadbetter passwords than young ones”相反；D项“信用卡的密码通常是安全的”，这与第四段第四句“Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit—card numbers were only slightly moresecure than those protecting less important things，like access togames”相反；故排除A、B、D三项。C项“提示窗口对密码安全帮助不大”，与第四段第五句“‘Nag screens’that told users theyhad chosen a weak password made virtually no difference”相符，故选C。

44． The underlined word “compromise” in Para. 5 most probably means______. A．comprise B．compensate C．endanger D．encounter

正确答案：C 解析：语义题。根据第五段第三句“An attacker who can manageten guesses per account will compromise around 1％of accounts．”可知，攻击者会尝试对一个账户进行10次猜测密码的举动，这一举动将会对1％的账户产生影响。后面一句“And that is a worth-while outcome for a hacker．”可知，这1％账户对黑客已经足够了，说明他们会根据对密码的猜测来破解账户，因此对账号造成威胁。A项“包括，构成”；B项“补偿”；D项“遇见”均不符合题意，故选C。

45． The last paragraph of the text suggests that______. A．net users regulate their online behaviors B．net users rely on themselves for security C．big websites limit the number of guesses D．big websites offer users convenient access

正确答案：B

解析：推理题。根据题干定位到最后一最。A项“网络使用者要规范他们网上的行为”，文中未提及；C项“大型网站尝试输入密码的次数”，最后一段虽然有提到谷歌和微软，但并不是所有大型网站都这样做了；D项“大型网站为用户提供方便的登入”，文中没有提及；故排除A、C、D三项。B项“网络使用者要靠自己注意网络安全”，与最后一段最后一句的“So it’s time forusers to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords”相符，故选B。

John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain’ s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen? By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected. But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey. It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials. Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved. “Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,”says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials. “ “Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history. “ But Lubbock couldn’ t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time. For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down: people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain’ s heritage better than private owners. Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.

46． According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was______. A．a royal property B．utterly neglected C．legally protected D．a public property

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。根据第二段最后一句“…it was，at the time，privately owned and neglected．”中“neglect”一词可知，当时对巨白阵的态度是“忽略的”，与B项相符，故选B。

47． One stone in Stonehenge fell over because______. A．rats weakened its foundation B．farmers cut it to build houses C．visitors carved pictures into it

D．visitors chipped pieces off it

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。根据第三段第二句“It encouraged rats that madeholes at the stones’foundations，weakening them．”可知，巨石阵立柱倒塌的原因是老鼠打洞造成基座损坏，与A项相符，故选A。

48． Lubbock proposed a bill to______. A．push people to learn history B．ensure government function C．enforce ancient site protection D．push visitors to behave properly

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。根据第八段第二句“He knew laws were neededand tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill．”可知，他提出法案的初衷是想利用法律手段来保护遗迹，与C项相符，故选C。

49． When the bill was voted into law in 1882, it had been made less______. A．severe B．biased C．implicit D．complex

正确答案：A 解析：推理题。1882年法案通过时，作者用了“It had，however，been watered down”这个句子，接下来说“人们必须自愿将自己所有的古代遗迹交给。”这和上一段中最初提出的“这个法案建议从漠不关心的私人业主手上将受到威胁的史前遗迹接管过来”相比，措施缓和了很多，从强硬变成人们的自愿行为，因此可以判断措施已经变得没有那么严厉了。A项符合，故选A。

50． This text is mainly about______. A．a famous British Parliament member B．the value of ancient heritages in the UK C．the history and protection of Stonehenge D．the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill

正确答案：D

解析：主旨题。第一段最后一句“How did it happen?”已经表明，文章要说的是路博克的法案是如何提出并通过的。故选D。

Part BDirections: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Lucy: As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don’ t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it’ s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives. Anna: My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings, and celebrate them.

You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit. Beth: There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later, my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in... Clare: When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life. Ruth: I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them. Now match the name of each

person(36-40)to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A]You have spoken out the true feelings of mothers like me.[B]It is helpful for mothers to reveal their hidden feelings.[C]Emotionally mature mothers understand their daughters.[D]I understand my mother now, being a mother myself.[E]You have expressed what most mothers feel but dare not say.[F]Do your duty as a mother and hope for the best for your daughter.[G]A mother should not envy her children and make public her improper feelings.

57． Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. Lee Rodriguez-Espada, 12, was late to the Wegmans Family 5k Sunday in Rochester, New York. To save time, her mom dropped her near the starting line before parking the car. Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line, expecting to congratulate her daughter within the hour. Concentrating on running, Lee didn’ t realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Turning to another runner, she asked how much further. “That’ s when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,” Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running. Realizing Lee wasn’ t among the runners crossing the 5k finish line, her mom alerted race officials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn’ t quit. She needed to finish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line, after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy. “I see her with a medal and I thought, ‘ Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real,’ “ she said. “She decided to just keep running and not give up. “ “I’m really proud,” said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.

正确答案： A 12-year-old girl, when she accidentally ran into a half marathon race, did not drop out the game, but keep running. She finished me race and won a medal. When asked, she said she decided to just keep running and not give up. This moved us greatly, as well as her own mother. In daily life, many people give up easily for hardship, for money, for something else. Maybe they have a lot of reasons for the giving-up, but that’ s why they cannot taste the happiness when they stick to the end and finally achieve something. For students, study also requires long-term hardworking. We should not give up, but keep it up. Thus, we can equip us with useful knowledge and have a bright future.
