As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson,a full-time mum,is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. "People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him." says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.
- 2 -
Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too.
"The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress," Alison says.
Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.

D. Gifted kids are not so different as people expect.

Mu Yumin had no idea that when he stopped by the computer club as a freshman looking for something fun, it would decide his career four years later. The 22-year-old biology major at Huazhong University of Science and Technology found a job as an IT technician in Shanghai. "My experience in the club gave me another ‘diploma’," said Mu. "More importantly, I found something I am good at and can make a living from."
Now campuses (校园) around the country have started recruiting (招收) fresh faces for all kinds of clubs. Upperclassmen and experts suggest a hobby-based choice of clubs, which might have a lasting impact (影响)on one’s life and career. Zhang Ling did not get many chances to write stories as an environmental protection major at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology. But this changed when she joined the university broadcasting station. Her daily interviews with students and teachers expanded her horizons. Now she is determined to become a journalist on environmental issues with her degree in environmental protection. "Journalism changed my life track," said the 22-year-old girl. "I only wanted to be a science teacher in a local senior high school. But now I am applying for a graduate school in journalism."
Lan Yujie, a professor at Anhui University of Technology, regards Mu and Zhang as good examples of choosing "what I like" instead of "what is practical" in finding jobs and seeking further study. "Some freshmen don’t know what to choose," said Lan. "Just following a hobby and doing something you like can easily give you the experiences that make you happy and special."
Lan further says that joining clubs should not necessarily have a purpose. As part of campus life, a club experience will impact one’s life and career in one way or another. "The point of clubs is to have as many diverse(多样的)experiences as possible so that students can explore more of their life," said Lan. 8.Why did Mu Yumin join the computer club? A. To get another diploma. C. To find a good job.
B. To change his major. D. To have a good time.
- 4 -
9.According to the text, joining the campus club has many advantages EXCEPT _________. A. offering you many pleasures B. making you plan your career better C. helping you make more friends D. helping you get more life experiences
10.What can we learn from Lan Yujie’s words in the last paragraph? A. Club experiences will affect students’ life and career. B. Students should be practical in finding jobs. C. Joining clubs should have a clear goal.
D. Students will have a colorful campus life by joining clubs. 11.What is the main idea of the text? A. How to change your major.
B. Joining a campus club for a diploma. C. How to find a job after graduation.
D. Joining a club to explore more of your life.

Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental sciences at Redlands University in California. He studies ecological literacy — or eco-literacy, for short. Eco-literacy is the ability to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.
Monty Hempel says eco-literacy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work on getting them to change their behavior.
Mr. Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute’s latest State of the World report. He says in his article, "Some people think that eco-literacy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that’s enough. In other words, what an ecologically-literate person needs to know might include things like the effect of environmental pollution on ecosystem, the energy systems, and all of those kinds of things that we would call the science of ecology."
"That doesn’t seem to lead to action to protect our environment — to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. Just knowing a lot about the
- 5 -
environment doesn’t mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge. "
He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away. "Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don’t spend time in the Arctic. And so, there’s a certain distance. But there’s also a distance that’s happening in the world as it urbanizes — people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being. "
To help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. But he also points out we have a high mountain for people to climb from knowledge to action.
12.From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3, we learn that _________. A. knowledge on environmental protection is not enough B. knowledge that children learn at school is useless C. eco-literacy can help people understand how nature works D. people with enough knowledge will protect the environment well
13.What is especially important for environmental protection in Mr. Hempel’s opinion? A. Knowledge.
B. Action.
D. Psychological distance.
C. Green living.
14.Mr. Hempel thinks people show no concern about some environmental problems because .
A. they lack knowledge on environmental protection B. they have no awareness of environmental protection C. some environmental problems are not worse at all D. some environmental problems happen far away 15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school. B. Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.
- 6 -
C. Changing people’s attitude to environmental protection is hard. D. Knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 16 What’s more important, is that data seem to be fairer than words and statements. If the data are true, we don’t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data.
On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren’t we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 17 For example, how can you tell that he or she isn’t a good student just because he or she doesn’t get high marks in the final examination?
18 For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.
There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to the assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us. 19 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the ability to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 20
Data are data, after all. Life is much more colorful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we’ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe.
A. We should try our best to be wise thinkers. B. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable.
- 7 -
C. But sometimes we may find that data aren’t everything. D. Sometimes our hearts and minds are more sensitive than data. E. Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much. F. The exact data should come from the assessment of an actual event. G. There are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)

waitingwait until
第一处:has→had 时间是that night,且由asked可知应该用过去完成时,故将has改为had。

第五处:such→so so/such…that…中,修饰副词violently应用so。
第六处:long前加a 此处表示"一段时间",通常用单数,故应加a。a long time一段很长的时间。
第七处:turned→turn 不定式后的并列结构的形式和时态应该一致,故用动词原形。 第八处:was→were 主语是houses,谓语动词用复数形式。
第九处:that→what 引导宾语从句,在从句充当主语,表示"什么事情",用what。 第十处:waiting→wait to在此是不定式中的to,表目的,动词应用一般式,故waiting改为wait。

第二节 书面表达 【参考范文】 Dear friends,
I’d like to share my unique learning style with you, which I hope can be beneficial.
First of all, read extensively. While reading, I take detailed notes, which benefits me a lot. Secondly, to broaden my horizons I spare no effort to attend as many lectures as possible, which greatly enrich my experience. What’s more, I always combine what I have learned from books with that learned in lectures. Last but not least, I prefer studying independently, thus practicing my ability to analyze tough problems.
Of course, not everyone learns in the same way. Remember that developing your own learning style really counts. Yours, Li Hua
