Every weekday I show up at school at about a quarter past seven in the morning. Each time I see a mostly empty parking place, I hate that I have to park in the 36 . At first, I am excited to see that I can get a front row spot until I realize that I am not yet a 37 .

Firstly, there is only one specific area under the light poles to which senior parking signs are 42 . As a result, it is difficult for one to 43 how far back they must park. The whole thing seems too much of an inconvenience 44 a convenience.
Secondly, it does not seem 45 for those people who get to school early. They could have a 46 near the front but instead they must park near the back. It is even less 47 when it is raining or snowing and students who 48 to school early must walk further across the parking lot because they are not a senior.
Lastly, no matter how hard the school tries to 49 senior parking, there will always be those freshmen who 50 to park in the senior parking spaces, regardless of the 51 . Meanwhile, the school authority has hardly got a proper measure to punish those who 52 the regulation. This totally ruins it for not just the seniors but for everyone.
Senior parking is great if you are a senior but for the majority of the school, it is 53 . If seniors want to park in the front they should arrive at school 54 . There are several other 55 seniors can still have but senior parking should not be one of them.

A
When I decided to quit my job—a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from
my divorce that had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer – and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog. It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog (博客）and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010, and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging – not my photography – did take me around the world successfully. At first, I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more inspiring, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.

Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes（雪花）. Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people’s attention again.
The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. ―The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago,‖ Herrera told us in an email. ―The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes.‖
Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures with a paper and pencil until a symmetrical（对称）pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he’ll have even more work in the future.
Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren’t for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.
64. Making paper snowflakes draws many people’s attention probably because ______.
A. it is a traditional form of decoration B. it is a course of artwork in school
C. it is a way of killing tine on holiday D. it is designed by Anthony Herrera
65. From the text, we can know that Herrera ______.
A. can make snowflakes with his daughter’s help
B. made more complicated designs before 2013
C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011
D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes
66. Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______.
A. he has to design detailed and different patterns
B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting
C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting
D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like
67. By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.
A. offer us more information about Herrera’s paper cutting
B. tell us how to download picture version of snowflakes
C. instruct people to be a real creative artist
D. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs
D
―Can I get a light?‖ This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti smoking ad onto YouTube. The anti smoking ad has quickly been known as the ―most powerful anti-smoking ad.‖
The anti smoking video, called the ―Smoking Kid,‖ features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.
The video begins with the statement ―adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact.‖ Once a ―smoking kid‖ approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, ―I’m not giving it to you,‖ and the video goes on to state ―every adult filmed said no and reminded
the children that smoking is bad.‖
Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, ―You worry about me, but why not about yourself?‖ Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.
The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarette or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.
The most influential element in the ad isn’t the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?
68. According to the text, the anti smoking ad is ______.
A. unusual B. shocking C. influential D. encouraging
69. The underlined word ―unsuspecting‖ (in Para. 2) probably means ______.
A. uninformed B. unwilling C. unfortunate D. unacceptable
70. What are the adults’ reactions to the children asking for a light?
A. They pay no attention to children’s request.
B. They reject kids’ request and educate them.
C. They look around for children’s parents.
D. They quickly throw children’s cigarette away.
71. The best title of the text might be ______.
A. Give up smoking, for your own sake B. Keep away from smoking, adults
C. Tell your children not to smoke D. Reject a child asking for a light E
Scientists in UK have grown a living human ―brain‖. The team at Aston University created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.
They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson's disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, ―We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works.‖ The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤) and making them behave like brain cells.
Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, ―It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆).‖
The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said, ―We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research. ‖
72. UK scientists grow a living human ―brain‖ in order to ______.
A. study the structure of human brain B. make use of living human cell system
C. discover how human brain really works D. separate cells from a cancer tumour
73. According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______.
A. will get finished as early as possible
B. will make people discover dementia
C. will affect the brain growth in many ways
D. will help to treat some diseases in nerve system.
74. From the last paragraph, we can know that ______.
A. technique provided by HRT is immature
B. animal tests are no longer allowed by low
C. a million people suffer brain diseases
D. the research program lacks financial support
75. The text is intended to ______.
A. tell us about a breakthrough in medical research
B. introduce a research program in human’s brain
C. introduce the progress of drugs for dementia
D. tell us about health problems in nerve system

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learner’s lives.
On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome ―The First Day Fears.‖ By the way, giving hugs for the first full week wouldn’t hurt either. Hugs are relatively inexpensive and apparently very healthy.
It’s the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.
Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids, who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep.
Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow.com, ―A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a child’s language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you.‖
Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there’s one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.
A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So

My View on Study Tour
In recent years, many primary and middle schools have been organizing study tours for students so that they can have a better understanding of life and society. Some students are crazy about such tours while others show their great concerns.
Personally, I think study tours play a critical role in developing students' study
interests. Most of the time, students acquire knowledge and skills from textbooks. By
walking out of the campus, they can learn through their own experiences and observations. They can understand better about what they have learned from textbooks. Therefore their Motivation and enthusiasm for study is greatly inspired. Besides, study tours contribute a lot to shaping a student's life values and personalities. They become more confident in getting along with others, living in harmony with nature and admiring traditional culture.
Of course, we must put safety in the first place in the course of study four, which is also the major concern of our parents and schools.

Every weekday I show up at school at about a quarter past seven in the morning. Each time I see a mostly empty parking place, I hate that I have to park in the 36 . At first, I am excited to see that I can get a front row spot until I realize that I am not yet a 37 .

Firstly, there is only one specific area under the light poles to which senior parking signs are 42 . As a result, it is difficult for one to 43 how far back they must park. The whole thing seems too much of an inconvenience 44 a convenience.
Secondly, it does not seem 45 for those people who get to school early. They could have a 46 near the front but instead they must park near the back. It is even less 47 when it is raining or snowing and students who 48 to school early must walk further across the parking lot because they are not a senior.
Lastly, no matter how hard the school tries to 49 senior parking, there will always be those freshmen who 50 to park in the senior parking spaces, regardless of the 51 . Meanwhile, the school authority has hardly got a proper measure to punish those who 52 the regulation. This totally ruins it for not just the seniors but for everyone.
Senior parking is great if you are a senior but for the majority of the school, it is 53 . If seniors want to park in the front they should arrive at school 54 . There are several other 55 seniors can still have but senior parking should not be one of them.

A
When I decided to quit my job—a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from
my divorce that had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer – and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog. It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog (博客）and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010, and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging – not my photography – did take me around the world successfully. At first, I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more inspiring, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.

Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes（雪花）. Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people’s attention again.
The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. ―The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago,‖ Herrera told us in an email. ―The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes.‖
Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures with a paper and pencil until a symmetrical（对称）pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he’ll have even more work in the future.
Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren’t for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.
64. Making paper snowflakes draws many people’s attention probably because ______.
A. it is a traditional form of decoration B. it is a course of artwork in school
C. it is a way of killing tine on holiday D. it is designed by Anthony Herrera
65. From the text, we can know that Herrera ______.
A. can make snowflakes with his daughter’s help
B. made more complicated designs before 2013
C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011
D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes
66. Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______.
A. he has to design detailed and different patterns
B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting
C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting
D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like
67. By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.
A. offer us more information about Herrera’s paper cutting
B. tell us how to download picture version of snowflakes
C. instruct people to be a real creative artist
D. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs
D
―Can I get a light?‖ This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti smoking ad onto YouTube. The anti smoking ad has quickly been known as the ―most powerful anti-smoking ad.‖
The anti smoking video, called the ―Smoking Kid,‖ features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.
The video begins with the statement ―adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact.‖ Once a ―smoking kid‖ approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, ―I’m not giving it to you,‖ and the video goes on to state ―every adult filmed said no and reminded
the children that smoking is bad.‖
Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, ―You worry about me, but why not about yourself?‖ Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.
The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarette or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.
The most influential element in the ad isn’t the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?
68. According to the text, the anti smoking ad is ______.
A. unusual B. shocking C. influential D. encouraging
69. The underlined word ―unsuspecting‖ (in Para. 2) probably means ______.
A. uninformed B. unwilling C. unfortunate D. unacceptable
70. What are the adults’ reactions to the children asking for a light?
A. They pay no attention to children’s request.
B. They reject kids’ request and educate them.
C. They look around for children’s parents.
D. They quickly throw children’s cigarette away.
71. The best title of the text might be ______.
A. Give up smoking, for your own sake B. Keep away from smoking, adults
C. Tell your children not to smoke D. Reject a child asking for a light E
Scientists in UK have grown a living human ―brain‖. The team at Aston University created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.
They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson's disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, ―We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works.‖ The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤) and making them behave like brain cells.
Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, ―It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆).‖
The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said, ―We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research. ‖
72. UK scientists grow a living human ―brain‖ in order to ______.
A. study the structure of human brain B. make use of living human cell system
C. discover how human brain really works D. separate cells from a cancer tumour
73. According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______.
A. will get finished as early as possible
B. will make people discover dementia
C. will affect the brain growth in many ways
D. will help to treat some diseases in nerve system.
74. From the last paragraph, we can know that ______.
A. technique provided by HRT is immature
B. animal tests are no longer allowed by low
C. a million people suffer brain diseases
D. the research program lacks financial support
75. The text is intended to ______.
A. tell us about a breakthrough in medical research
B. introduce a research program in human’s brain
C. introduce the progress of drugs for dementia
D. tell us about health problems in nerve system

Hugging is an extremely positive form of communication. It expresses the values of love, approval, gratitude and forgiveness. Research shows that hugs have more positive effects on children and adults than just some encouraging words and a smiling face. Giving our child a hug on various occasions can make a world of difference in our young learner’s lives.
On the first day of school, giving a hug coupled with a few calming breaths just might help your little learner overcome ―The First Day Fears.‖ By the way, giving hugs for the first full week wouldn’t hurt either. Hugs are relatively inexpensive and apparently very healthy.
It’s the day of the class play and your kid is not so confident about saying a few words as a wild turkey in front of an audience. Giving a hug coupled with a few encouraging words just might help them feel more confident.
Usually, bedtime is the most frightening time of the day for most kids, who feel very stressed and may stay up. Giving a tight hug coupled with reading their favorite story or singing their favorite song may help them have a good sleep.
Besides, according to Intelligence Quotient Development in Children on eHow.com, ―A caring yet inspiring environment is always helpful in promoting a child’s language skills. Make sure your child gets plenty of hugs and kisses and hears positive and encouraging words from you.‖
Sometimes we get caught up in teaching, parenting, providing, and protecting our children that we forget to hug them. If there’s one thing your child or student may need from you to help adapt their behavior or improve their IQ, it may just be something as simple as a hug.
A positive hug could change the course of the day for you both when you least expect it. So

My View on Study Tour
In recent years, many primary and middle schools have been organizing study tours for students so that they can have a better understanding of life and society. Some students are crazy about such tours while others show their great concerns.
Personally, I think study tours play a critical role in developing students' study
interests. Most of the time, students acquire knowledge and skills from textbooks. By
walking out of the campus, they can learn through their own experiences and observations. They can understand better about what they have learned from textbooks. Therefore their Motivation and enthusiasm for study is greatly inspired. Besides, study tours contribute a lot to shaping a student's life values and personalities. They become more confident in getting along with others, living in harmony with nature and admiring traditional culture.
Of course, we must put safety in the first place in the course of study four, which is also the major concern of our parents and schools.
