JIUQUAN, Gansu Province, Sept. 6(Xinhua) ---- China’s manned spacecraft Shenzhou-7 will be launched at an appropriate time between Sept. 25 and 30 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Gansu Province, a spokesman said here on Saturday. The mission will accomplish the first spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.
“All the major systems involved in the launching are now in the final preparation. The main tests for the spacecraft, the Long-March II-F rocket, suits for the space walk and a satellite accompanying the fly have also been finished, ” said the spokesman.
In addition, the ground control system is fully prepared, including the launch site, the landing site, and the communication for observation and control.
When Shenzhou-7 enters its orbit, one of the three taikonauts will conduct a space walk, said Zhao Changxi, a senior scientist with the project, earlier.
According to Zhao, cameras would be fixed outside and inside of the ship for live broadcasting of the space walk.
While the last mission of Shenzhou-6, with a crew of two, was aimed at several days of manned flight, this time the task might be more stringent as one of its main goals is the space walk.
Earlier reports said a crew of six astronauts had been chosen for the mission, with three manning the spacecraft and three substitutes.
China successfully put two manned spacecrafts into orbit in 2003 and 2005 respectively, becoming the third country to send an astronaut into space after the United States and the former Soviet Union(now Russia).
56. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Shenzhou 7 is better equipped than the last two spaceships. B. Shenzhou 7 will be more successful than the last two launches. C. All the systems involved in the launching have been prepared. D. China is ready for the launching of SHenzhou 7. 57. We can learn from the passage_____________.
A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk. B. Three of the six astronauts chosen for the mission will walk in space C. The space walk will be live broadcast on TV

The lce Bucket Challenge, in which people dump a bucket of ice water on their heads and challenge others to do the same, has brought in millions of dollars in donations for the ALS Association, and is among the biggest viral(病毒的) phenomena 2.4 million vides related to the ice bucket challenge have been shared on the social network, and more than 28 million people have posted, commented or liked a post relating to the challenge.
“Marrying the Internet’s love of challenges with donation and charity is a stroke of genius.” Said Neetzan Zimmerman, a former editor at Gawaker who’s widely considered as an expert in viral phenomena. “There is no other way to say this—it’s absolutely pure brilliance(才智).”
The nature of the Ice Bucket Challenge is, in itself, quick in spread. “People want to look good to others, so it’s hard to turn down a prosocial cause,” said Jonah Berger, an author of Contagious: Why Things Catch On. “ALS is a great cause, so when someone asks you directly to do this, it’s hard to turn them down without seeming like a bad person.”
The Ice Bucket Challenge campaign has been great for the ALS Association, a non-profit organization that does research and provides help for patients with Lou Gehrig’s disease. It has received $ 22.9 million since July 29 and the donations are coming not only from existing donors, but from nearly half a million new donors.
Celebrities(名人) have been interested in the cause, which has undoubtedly accelerated the spread. At this point, it’s almost difficult to find a celebrity who hasn’t had ice water dumped on his or her head. Kobe and Lcbron have done it and Bieber has done it twice. “If you are doing, it’s as if you could stand in for them,” said Jennifer Cool, an anthropologist at USC who studies Internet culture and history. “You can be in the shoes of Lady Gaga or Bill Gates, too.”
And, of course, there’s showing off factor, Internet is a place to show off and promote yourself, filled with incredible vacation photos, reminders to all that you’re in love with challenges. You may have some friends who’ve
seemed eager to show off their bikini or swim trunk bodies in their Ice Bucket Challenge videos. At this point, some celebrities seem to be trying to one-up each other. Bill Gates released a highly produced video of himself designing a method of dumping water on himself. Hockey player Paul Bissonnette, for some reason, had a helicopter drop glacier water on him.
58. Why does the author call the Ice Bucket Challenge a viral phenomenon? A. Because it does harm to charity. B. Because it is popular with celebrities. C. Because it challenges a person’s courage. D. Because it spreads quickly.
59. What does “a stroke of genius” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. A kind of charity. B. A smart way. C. A nature of charity. D. A public forum. 60. According to the text, the Ice Bucket Challenge gives celebrities______. A. a sense of belonging. B. a joy of success. C. a feeling of bravery D. a sense of curiosity 【答案】 58.D 59.B 60.A
60.A 考查细节题。根据第六段第一句“And, of course, there’s showing off factor, Internet is a place to show off and promote yourself, filled with incredible vacation photos, reminders to all that you’re in love with challenges.”。
当然存在炫耀的因素,互联网是一个炫耀的地方,用各种难以想象的度假照片提升自己的知名度,提醒所有的人你喜欢上挑战。选A。 【名师点睛】
此篇阅读理解中58,59,60都属于细节题。细节题在高考占有较大比例,而且已由过去简单的对号入座直接答题转向通过语句的同义或反义转换来考查同学们对英语语言的理解能力,因此难度有所增加。
细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到, 即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征:
1、对原文句子进行等义替换。比如58题,把原文中的“2.4 million vides related to the ice bucket challenge have been shared on the social network, and more than 28 million people have posted, commented or liked a post relating to the challenge”替换成正确选项中的“it spreads quickly.”
2、把原文句子简化为等义单词。比如59题,把原文中的“There is no other way to say this—it’s absolutely pure brilliance(才智)”替换成正确选项中的“A smart way.” 比如60题,把原文中的“And, of course, there’s showing off factor, Internet is a place to show off and promote yourself, filled with incredible vacation photos, reminders to all that you’re in love with challenges.”替换成正确选项中的“a sense of belonging..” 3.原文的单词在选项中重复出现。 考点:考查议论文阅读

Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school. Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty. Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree. Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.
All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years
of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.
American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.
The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.
61. According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _____. A. they have to exchange desks with each other
B. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats C. there are no seats for them to sit in class D. the officials show no sympathy to them at all
62. According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because _____. A. they are cleverer than younger students B. they are easily tired of standing long C. they have formed the habit of sitting.. D. they do badly in class while standing 63. What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial. A. The standing desks can’t be used at all. B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks. C. More tests should be done in other schools. D. The students are different in personality. 64. Why do the teachers like the standing desks.
A. Because the educators can draw the students’ attention. B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy. C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom. D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated. 【答案】 61.C

“I never did hate the Yankees(北方佬). All that I hated was the war...” That’s how my great-aunt Bettie began her story. I heard it many times as a child, whenever my family visited Aunt Bettie in the old house in Berryville, Virginia.
Bettie Van Metre had good reason to hate the Civil War. Her brother was killed at Gettysburg, and her husband, James, a Confederate(南方联盟军)officer, was taken prisoner and sent to an unknown prison camp somewhere. One day in late September, Dick came to Bettie reporting that he had found a wounded Union soldier in a farmhouse half a mile away from the Van Metre home. When talking about her first sight of the man in the blood-spotted blue uniform, she always used the same words. “It was like walking into a nightmare: those awful bandages, that terrible smell.” She went out into the cool air, trying not to be sick at the thought of that smashed right hand, that missing left leg.
The man’s papers Bettie found in the farmhouse showed his identity: Henry Bedell, 30 years old. She knew that she should report the presence of this Union officer to the Confederate army, but she wouldn’t. This is how she explained it: “I kept wondering if he had a wife somewhere, hoping, and not knowing—just as I was. It seemed to me that the only thing that mattered was to get her husband back to her.”
Slowly, patiently, skillfully, Aunt Bettie fanned the spark of life in Henry Bedell. Of drugs or medicines she had almost none. And she was not willing to take any from the few supplies at the Confederate hospital. But she did the best she could with what she had.
The October nights in the valley grew cold. With the help of Dick and his wife, she moved the Union officer at night, to a hidden room above the warm kitchen of her own home. But the next day, Bedell had a high fever. Knowing that she must get help, she went to her family doctor, Graham Osborne. Dr. Osborne examined Bedell and said, “there was little hope unless proper medicines could be found.”
“I’ll get them from the Yankees at Harpers Ferry.” Bettie said. The doctor told her that Harpers Ferry was almost 20 miles away. Even if she reached them, the Yankees would never believe her. “I’ll take proof,” Bettie said. She found a blood-spotted paper bearing the official War Department seal (印章). “When I show it, they’ll believe me.”
Early the next morning she set off with a list of medical items. For five hours she drove, stopping only to rest her horse. The sun was almost down when she finally stood before the general at Harpers Ferry. The general listened, but did not believe her. “Madam,” he said, “Bedell’s death was reported to us.” “He’s alive,” Bettie insisted. “But he won’t be much longer unless he has the medicines on that list.” “Well,” the general turned to a junior officer, “see that Mrs. Van Metre gets the supplies.”
With the medicines, Bedell gradually recovered. Ten days later he was walking with sticks. “I’d better go back as soon as possible.” Bedell told Bettie. So it was arranged that Dick should help Bettie deliver Bedell to Harpers Ferry in his wagon. Bedell lay down in a box filled with hay, his rifle and sticks beside him.
At Harpers Ferry, the soldiers were amazed when the Union officer with the missing leg rose from his hay-filled box. Bedell told the story to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, who wrote a letter of thanks to Bettie and signed an order to free James Van Metre. It was arranged for Bedell to go with Bettie as she searched for her husband. Records showed that a James Van Metre had been sent to a prison camp in Ohio. Then at Fort Delaware, near the
end of the line of prisoner, a tall man stepped out and walked clumsily into Bettie’s arms. Bettie held him, tears streaming down her face. And Henry Bedell, standing by on his sticks, wept, too.

A. Pessimistic B. Desperate C. Shocked D. Sympathetic. 66. Why wouldn’t Bettie report the presence of Bedell to the Confederate army.

Stanton, who wrote a letter of thanks to Bettie and signed an order to free James Van Metre. It was arranged for Bedell to go with Bettie as she searched for her husband.”找到信息点。可知,Bedell 把这故事告诉了战争部长,部长写信给Bettie 签发对她丈夫的释放令。推出作者的隐含意义:Bettie救助一位受重伤的Bedell,北方军为了表示对她的感谢释放了她的被捕的丈夫,其实她也帮助了自己。

Trust is in rare supply these days. People are having trouble trusting each other, according to an Ap-GFK poll conducted in November 2013, which found that Americans are suspicious of each other in their everyday life. Only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted—down from half who felt that way in 1972. A record high of nearly two-thirds says “you can’t be too careful” in dealing with people in 2013.
This can be carried over into the workplace, where employees want their leaders to be more trustworthy. Employees have grown tired of unexpected outcomes resulting from the lack of preparation. They want to be
informed of any change management efforts before—not after the fact. Employees desire to know what is expected of them and be given the opportunity to better themselves, rather than be told they are not qualified for new roles and responsibilities.
Here are four early warning signs for you to course-correct when employees are having trouble trusting their leaders. Lack courage
Leaders that don’t stand up for what they believe in are difficult to respect and trust. Too many leaders waste too much of their valuable time trying to act like other leaders in the organization—rather than attempting to establish their own identity and leadership style. Employees know that if their leaders are not savvy (精明) enough to move themselves into a position of greater influence, it will make it much more difficult for them to get noticed and discovered as well. When leaders lack the courage to enable their full potential and that of others, it becomes a challenge to trust. Self-centered
When a leader is only looking out for themselves and lacks any sense of commitment to the advancement of their employees—this shuts off employees quickly. Great leaders are great coaches and are always looking to help their employees grow. When leaders lack any real desire to coach or 'guide the career advancement of their employees—it becomes increasingly difficult for employees to trust them. But when leaders are too disruptive (指手画脚),their employees sense that they are in it for themselves and/or don’t trust the talent around them. Reputation issues
When people begin to speak negatively about their leader, it makes it more difficult for others to trust their intentions. For example, look at what has happened to President Barack Obama since December 2009 when his approval rating was 69%. Four years later, Obama’s approval rating is at 43%. Many who have followed him for years are now having trouble trusting him.
Every leader must be aware that they are constantly being evaluated and thus they can never grow self-satisfied. When they do, this begins to negatively impact their reputation and the trust employees have in their leadership. Inconsistent Behavior
People are more inclined to trust those who are consistent with their behavior. Isn’t it easy to begin questioning one’s judgment when they are inconsistent? When everyone but the leader is on board with a strategy—you begin to wonder if their intentions are to support the organization’s advancement or their own. Leaders need to refresh
their leadership style before they lose the trust of their employees.
This is what today leaders must consider: how to lead in new ways that focus less on oneself, but more on the betterment of a healthier whole.

总结式的任务阅读理解。此类题主要有三种形式:
1.原词重现。根据对文章的理解找到关键词,关键词在题目中的词性以及所作的句子成分与原句一样。如71题,73,74题属于这类考法。71题的trust在题目和原文中都作名词和主语,意思都为“信任”。 2.词性转换。只要确定关键词然后按照句子的需要进行转换即可。比如第72,77,78,79,80题都属于此类考法。72把原文中的形容词trustworthy转化为动词worth。
3.同义表述。确定关键句子,按句子要求解题。此类题有一定难度,需要对句子结构有相当地了解,并且
能根据语境填入恰当的单词。比如第75,76题属于这类考法。74题把“course-correct”用“avoid”替换。 考点:考查建议性议论文的阅读。 第五部分:书面表达(满分25分)

As China’s urbanization quickens its pace, a growing number of village couples head to the cities in search of work and are thus forced to leave their children behind. The number of these left-behind children living with their grandparents or great-grandparents is currently estimated at 60 million nationwide. These children often face severe psychological and emotional problems as well as challenges to their personal safety and well-being. According to a report published by the All-China Women's Federation (CWF), the number of left-behind children in rural areas stands at 61.026 million, accounting for 37.7 percent of rural children and 21.9 percent of all children nationwide. A generation of left-behind children is emerging in China.
As a special social group, they are vulnerable to physical and emotional hurt, with their personal safety often compromised because they are far away from their parents. In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of left-behind children suffering from death by drowning, poisoning, traffic accidents or fire incidents. 【写作内容】

With more migrant workers working in cities, more rural children have been left without parents around, accounting for one fifth of all children nationwide. They suffer a lot physically and emotionally. (31 words) The left-behind children are faced with many problems. To begin with, without parents’ protection, they are likely to become the targets of bullying and abuse. Second, not only do they have to take on the burden of farming, they also struggle to keep up with their studies. Some are slowly becoming “lagging-behind” children and some
even end up abandoning school. Moreover, many children feel stressed and lonely for lack of parental care and love.
In the rush for economic opportunity and growth, these left-behind children have become victims and this social problem needs a solution. The government should establish a protection network involving schools, families and communities. Moreover, migrant workers should take their responsibility as parents by accompanying their children to ensure their sound development. (125 words)
