         There is a saying"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." What one person considers beauty may not be
    beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of
    course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me beauty is not only something that pleases
    the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely
    sight. It will give you insight (深刻的了解) or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward
    appearance.
         The most memorable "beautiful people" are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces.
    In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls, Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and
    slender (纤细的) figures. But Lin was used to getting her own way. She felt that her looks could help her get
    anything she wanted, especially among the boys. Sue, on the other hand, treated her beauty in a matter of-fact
    way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly
    accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.
         Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have this kind of beauty have
    attained (获得) inner peace. They care about their fellowmen, and try to right the injustices in this world. Two
    well-known personalities who exemplify this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. Mandela is willing to
    sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Theresa's mission is
    to help the poorest of the world's poor. This inner beauty makes the world a better place.
    1. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to _____.
    [     ]
    A. the beauty of eyes
    B. something beyond the lovely sight
    C. something that pleases our eyes
    D. inner beauty
    2. What does the underlined sentence "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" mean?
    [     ]
    A. Beauty is a matter of a person's taste and judgment.
    B. Beautiful people are very popular.
    C. Everybody hopes for beauty.
    D. Beauty attracts people's eyes.
    3. According to the passage, why did the author think Sue was more beautiful than Lin?
    [     ]
    A. Sue had a perfect face.
    B. Sue had a good character.
    C. Sue became more and more slender.
    D. Lin treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way.
    4. What's the author's opinion on beauty?
    [     ]
    A. Beauty is a perfect face and a slender figure.
    B. Beauty is something that pleases the eyes.
    C. Beauty is an attractive personality behind the pretty faces.
    D. Inner beauty doesn't attract people.

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:
    Four – percent effort
    The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.
    Administrative rank
    Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚机构) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.
    Vocational Education
    The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.
    Entering college
    Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.
    56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?
    A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.
    B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.
    C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.
    D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.
    57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?
    A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united
    58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012, ________.
    A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect
    B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education
    C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect
    D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education
    59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.
    A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school
    B．schools will have more limits from the government
    C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem
    D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government

    第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

    第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

    Being interested in a theme park since the time that I was a child, I have learned a thing or two over the years about packing for a day of fun. A trip to a theme park is always a adventure, but if you’re not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn into a tiny little nightmare(噩梦). It is important to pack long sleeved(带袖的) shirts or jackets for all members of your family. I is also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especially the children, as those wonderful water rides can be fun, but wet socks that won’t dry aren’t so much fun.

    You don’t want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the food offered at the theme park of your choice(that’s half of the fun), but it’s always a good idea to bring some energy increasing snacks, such as fruit,trail mix,etc. This can mean the difference between spending a lot of money on snacks or a little money on one or two good meals.

    Theme parks,while fun and exciting, can wear a person out,especially a child, so it’s important to keep hydrated(含水的). I would suggest packing one bottle of water per person, and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well.

    It’s a good idea to have at least two cell phones or even a set of “walkie-talkies” in the event that your family gets,separated in the park. It’s a good idea to give one of these things to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each of them knows how to use it. This could be the difference between trouble and a happy ending,

    1.You should get well prepared before going to a theme park__________.

      A. because the trip always costs much money

    B.because there are always too many people in a theme park.

    C. so as not to suffer from bad dreams when going back

    D.so as to cut down your trip expenses and have more fun

    2.From the passage, we can know_______________.

      A.the author was fond of visiting theme parks when he was a child

    B.wearing wet socks in a theme park will bring children much fun

    C.it is terrible to have a taste of the food offered in a theme park.

    D. we’d better bring enough food, clothing and water when going to a theme park

    3.What does th underlined part”walkie-talkies” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

      A. A kind of transportation tool           B.A kind of musical instrument

    C.A kind of CDplayer                  D.A kind of phone

    4.How many types of things does the author advise us to pack for day trips to a theme park?

      A Three         B.Five      C.Six      D. Eight

          Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible
    everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies,
    or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they
    make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large
    sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly
    speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising
    customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and
    improving society.
         Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either
    improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In
    order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering
    their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including
    television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards
    (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency
    on behalf of company or other organization.
         Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was
    estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is
    expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010.
         While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social
    development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk
    mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I

          The worst US economic depression in the recent 70 years is forcing senior citizens out of retirement,
    leaving them fighting for jobs in a weak labor market or risking homelessness.
          The study by Experience Works, released on Tuesday, showed 46 percent of the 2,000 low income
    people over 55 years who participated needed to find work to keep their homes. Nearly half of them had been searching for work for more than a year.
          "These people are at the age where they understandably thought their job-searching years were
    behind them,” said Cynthia Metzler, president and CEO of Experience Works.
         "Bur here they are, many in their 60s, 70s and beyond, desperate to find work so they can keep a
    roof over their heads and food on the table.”
          According to the study, many of the participants had no intention of working past their 60 th birthday, but _______ after being laid off or following the death of the partner. Over a third of the participants had
    retired.
          Ninety percent of the respondents 76 years and older planned to continue working for the next five
    years.
          Huge medical bills due to a persona illness or that of a partner were also reasons for coming out of
    retirement, the survey found. The longest and deepest economic decline since the 1930s is making finding
    a job for the low-income elderly workers a difficult challenge.
          The Experience Works study found that 46 percent of the elderly jobseekers were sometimes forced
    to choose between paying rent and buying food or medication. Almost three-quarters believed their age
    made it harder to compete for jobs with younger workers.
         "This study underscores calls for the need to create policies that remove barriers to employment for
    elder workers and provide additional programs and services specifically aimed at helping elder people
    re-enter the work force or remain working,” said Metzler.
