Floss shares more than a few characteristics with the Mutts Cutts car in the popular film Dumb and Dumber. When she began her career as a professional sheep dog, Floss was impressive-the sheep responded well to her, she was faster than the average and she certainly looked good. But farmer Dave Issac has unwillingly decided to sell Floss as she is now too big to get through his farmyard gates-because she is a pretty car.
Mr.Issac,46,who lives on a 180-acre farm near Battle in East Sussex,converted the family car into a working sheep dog in memory of his dog which had recently died.He spent £2000 covering the family car in fur and changing it until it became an exact copy of Floss,his favorite sheep dog.
Floss the sheep dog car, who has a top speed of 40 mph,soon proved to be a surprisingly effective herder as the flock of sheep failed to notice they were being rounded up by a much larger animal with headlamps for eyes and an exhaust.
Mr.Issac said:“I know it was a bit of a mad thing to do but it was a gift to my old sheep dog Floss who passed away.I have three kids and we loved her and as a family we all missed her terribly.So I got together with a friend and we built Floss the sheep dog car in my farm,copying as closely as I could every last detail of my old dog.Sheep aren’t known for their intelligence and they didn’t seem to notice the difference so they were quite happy.”
But Floss the car,which is not licensed to drive on public roads,is now too big to drive along the narrow farm tracks and through the gates to Mr.Issac’s fields.Because Floss also required a wood frame to attach the fur,the car is now taking up too much space of a busy working farm. Mr.Issac added:“They were things we didn’t really consider when we built her so with a heavy heart she is going on E-bay. It’s been a lot of fun.She is nice and handles well.”
Mr.Isaac hopes Floss the sheep dog car may interest festival organizers or dog charities as a fun car.
“As long as she goes to a good home,I’ll be happy.”he said. 51. What can we learn from the first paragraph about Floss?
第4页 共13页
A. Floss works as a sheep dog.
B. Floss is an impressive sheep dog. C. Floss the big car has been sold. D. Floss is a pretty car in a movie.
52. For what purpose did Mr.Issac build Floss the car? A. To attract people's attention. B. To make his family happy. C. To create an effective herder. D. To recall his favorite sheep dog.
53. Why did Mr. Issac decide to sell Floss the car?
A. Because he was very sad at the death of his pet dog. B. Because Floss can only drive on public roads.
C. Because Floss is too big and takes up too much space. D. Because it is great fun to sell a car on E-bay.
54. According to the passage,what kind of person is Mr.Issac? A. A talented and modest worker. B. An intelligent and creative farmer. C. A crazy and strange car lover. D. A diligent and ambitious driver.

Biking along the beach.Working on a puzzle with the family. Reading on the couch.These apparently ordinary activities aren’t just time-killers-they can be life savers.Studies show that hobbies have long-lasting and preventative results.People who play puzzle games and read have less memory loss when they get older.
“A really good hobby totally absorbs us,”says Gail McMeekin.“It also gives us something to look forward to and focus on.”That break from everyday sadness is perfect for a person who juggles with careers and family life.Having a hobby makes that heavy load a little easier,as it sets aside time for both a mental break and focuses on an activity the person loves,one that is separate from office and parental duties.
“It’s very sad when I see clients(当事人)who have been laid off show that work was the centre of their lives and they have no hobbies to turn to for support,”Gail says.“Entertainment gives us rest and a fresh perspective,”says Gail,who notes that lots of creative ideas appear when people take a break and listen to their intuition(直觉).
Danielle,blogger,made her blogging hobby a career a few years ago,and in the meantime found a hobby she never expected to get into:clothing design.“Having a hobby,especially a creative one,has positively impacted not only my work life,but my personal life as well,”Danielle says.“The trick,”she says,“is to find out where you are spending time doing things that aren’t fulfilling to you and taking that time to do something you love instead.” “Learn to be an expert public speaker so you can give better presentations at work;start a scrapbooking(剪贴本)with your kids so you can spend time with them and be creative…”Danielle offers.
Gail also suggests developing a hobby that promotes socialization with friends.This is an opportunity to become part of a powerful support system,which is important for emotional health.At the very least,it’s a good way to chat with a golf friend while walking the course and forgetting a long day at work.
55. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Quit one’s career to pursue one’s hobby. B. Attach more importance to work than family. C. Prevent us from taking up our hobby.

B. She makes a living by writing blogs.
C. She supports her family by being a public speaker. D. She spends time doing what she has no interest in. 57. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. We benefit from a hobby of talking with others. B. Developing a hobby is very important.
C. Our feelings are determined by our hobbies. D. It’s our responsibility to socialize with others.
58. According to the passage, the benefit a hobby brings is that . A. we can concentrate more on our jobs B. we can enjoy ourselves in the wild C. we can think in a more creative way D. we can avoid being laid off

“Selfie”may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect,so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months,its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent,said Oxford dictionaries.However,its populanty has just eamed it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.
According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, often from a smartphone, and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures, sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions,such as large smiles or puckered lips(噘嘴).
Let’s think about it.Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do,and they only end up posting one or two of those.They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful? In that one picture,somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society,we are so crazy about being perfect.But perhaps,with that one selfie,we feel as if we fit that need.We feel handsome,beautiful,confident,smart,happy,and content.For that moment,everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased,for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves. A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking:If I ask you what you love,the answers will most likely roll of your tongue.You love to read.You love to write. You love birds,music…your mom,your brother,your sister,your daughter,your best friend,your dog.How long do you think you could go on and on before you said,“I love myself.”?
The poem hit me like a ton of bricks.I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life.And I still do.And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence.However,the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.Just as Pamela Rutledge put it,“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”

59. What can we learn about selfie in the first two paragraphs? A. It is an honorable photographer. B. It is the most popular term in 2013. C. It is an annoying online dictionary. D. It is a useful tool to decorate websites.
60. According to the writer, we live in a society where . A. selfie leads to success
B. a good image decides one’s status
C. one’s poor performance can be erased D. being perfect is highly valued
61. The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies . A. our pleasure to enjoy beauty
B. our need to love people around us C. our tendency to ignore ourselves D. our real love to share with others
62. In the writer’s opinion, selfie A. brings about people’s sense of confidence B. is merely popular among teenagers C. tells the true meaning of life
D. is an annoying phenomenon on the Internet

Electricity bills can be highly expensive and the power we consume comes at an even greater cost to the environment when you consider that over 85% of the electricity produced in the United States comes from fuels. Whether you’re concerned about cleaning up the environment or you simply want to reduce your electricity bill,residential wind power generators(发电机)could be a solution.
Producing wind.power at home will not work for everyone.If you live in a over-populated residential area,there may be certain laws and zoning requirements that prohibit the use of windmills(风车).If you live on 1 acre of land or more, you probably won’t have any issues but you should investigate carefully to make sure that wind power generators are both legal and practical where you live. Even if there are no laws or regulations prohibiting wind power generators you still need to be in a location that gets enough wind on a regular basis.
Some producers of wind generators recommend that you live in an area with wind speeds that average at least 10 mph. Newer models have been developed recently that can operate with wind speeds as low as 4 mph but maximum efficiency is achieved at higher wind speeds. Before you fix a wind powered system, you will have to determine your power requirements. Will you be usingit to charge a small battery for a boat or vehicle or will you need enough power to run your entire household and be completely off the grid(电网)?Once you know what your power requirements are,you can start shopping around for a system that can meet those needs.
Wind power generators are a great solution for a lot of people.They’re an ideal solution for remote locations where it would be impractical or simply too expensive to tap into the grid.They are quiet and totally clean,producing no pollution.They require no fuel and very little maintenance. Residential wind power offers a lot of benefits but it’s not for everyone.You’ll have to have some money up front to pay for the system and equipment;however,you could save quite a bit of money if you’re able to do much ofthe work yourself.You’ll also need to live in an area that gets enough wind to make the equipment worthwhile.You’ll need to do your homework before you make a purchase but,wind power generators could be a great solution for producing clean,

low-cost energy.

Imagine you’ve had a fight with your best friend. It’s a stupid fight,something you will both get over.But right now you are upset.When you walk in the door,your mom asks what’s wrong.How are you mostly likely to respond?Have a long,comforting talk about it with her.Or head to the fridge for the ice cream. But can that really help you feel better-or just make you feel sickeningly full?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger.We’ve all been there,fuushing a whole bag of chips or eating cookie after cookie while preparing for a coming exam.But when done a lot-especially without realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight,health,and well-being.
One of the biggest beliefs about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings.Yes,people often turn to food when they’re stressed out,lonely,sad,anxious,or bored.Nevertheless,emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too,like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.More often,though,it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort or relaxation in food.
We all have our own comfort foods.Amazingly,they may vary according to moods and sex.One study found that happy people seem to want to eat things like pizza,while sad people prefer ice cream and cookies.Bored people desire salty,fragile things,like chips.Girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
This brings up a curious question:Does no one take comfort in carrots and cabbages?Researchers are looking into that,too.What they’re finding is that high-fat foods,like ice cream,may activate certain chemicals in the body that create a sense of contentment and fulfillment,which may actually make you reach for these foods again when feeling upset.
We’re all emotional eaters to some extent.But for some people,emotional eating can be a real problem,causing serious problems such as weight gain.
Managing emotional eating means finding other ways to deal with the situations and feelings that make someone turn to food.For example,do you come home from school each day and automatically head to the kitchen?Stop and ask yourself,“Am I really hungry?”Are you having difficulty concentrating?If these signs point to hunger,choose something light and healthy to take the edge off until dinner.
67. The first two paragraphs are designed to .

C. explain the function of eating an ice cream
D. offer advice on how to comfort an annoyed child 68. People turn to emotional eating because . A. they benefit a lot from eating B. they have a strong desire for food
C. they want to seek comfort or relaxation D. they suffer from weight problems
69. Which of the following may not serve as comfort food?
A.Chips. B.Carrots. C.Cookies. D.Pizzas. 70. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Eat whenever you can’t concentrate. B. It is natural to feel hungry after school.
C. It’s hard to tell physical hunger from mental hunger. D. There are ways to break the cycle of emotional eating. 第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分50分)

Feeling regretful is unavoidable for everyone. However, from my perspective, not all things are worth regretting. Only those things that you dare not attempt deserve regretting.
Once, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our school, a grand ceremony was to be held. All my classmates were enthusiastic about it, hoping to make their own contributions. Gifted as I was in dancing, I didn’t dare to dance in front of a large audience, due to my shyness. When seeing their excellent performance on the stage, a strong sense of repentance flooded into my heart.
Not until then did I realize how regretful I felt, for I even didn’t give myself a chance to try it. In the future, I will grasp every opportunity to do what I can do to avoid regretting.

M: Hello, Dr. Brown’s office. How can I help you?
W: Hi, this is Susan Smith. I’m calling about my appointment with Doctor Brown today at 3:30 p.m. I’m sorry to say that I can’t be there by then. M: What happened?
W: I got the flu. I have a fever and a headache. Can I cancel my appointment? M: Sure, you can, but you’ll be charged for $10. W: Oh, there’s charge? Why?
M: This is for the delayed cancelling. Because this time is reserved for you, if you are unable to keep an appointment, you should call us 48 hours in advance. Otherwise, the charge will be made. W: I see. That’s OK. I’ll pay.
M: Thanks for your understanding. Do you want to make another appointment? W: No. not right now. Thank you. Bye.

W: The education system in Australia consists of a total of 12 years. Primary schools and high schools are based on the age of the student, so that every room has the same age group, with a student hardly ever having to repeat a year. The students with problems in their studies may be put into special classes. Most of the children start primary school at the age of 5. Then the student goes for secondary school at the age of 12 or 13. Well, the subject of the education system is too broad. Today I’d like to focus on the school system in Australia.
