Then they learned they had been switched (调换) at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago. The discovery didn’t bring bitterness. Rather, it led to the creation of a bigger family. The chain of events started with Dimas, who was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with. He was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a TV news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals. He wanted to do a DNA test, but it was too expensive for the family. A decade later, DimasLdid it on his own.The DNA test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him. The news was a shock for his parents. They at first refused to believe the results, but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents. The search began at the Madre Regina Protmann Hospital where records were checked. The hospital searched its records and found Elton Plaster was born there on the same day. The records led Dimas to the 35-acre farm where Plaster lived with his parents, Nilza and Adelson, in the town of Santa Mafia de Jetiba, about 30 miles from the Aliprandi home in Joao Neiva. After tests, the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman that Dimas had been calling Morn and Dad for 24 years. Meanwhile, the couple Elton had always regarded as his biological parents were Dimas’ parents. About a year ago, Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to mOve to their farm, where they built a home. "This is the way it should be," Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV. "We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here." 56. Who was the first to discover the baby switch? [A] Globo TV. [B] The hospital. [C] Elton Plaster. [D] Dimas Aliprandi. 57. Where do the Aliprandis now live? [A] In Sao Paulo. [B] In Joao Neiva. [C] In Santa Mafia de Jetiba. [D] In Madre Regina Protmann. 58. What did the Aliprandis do when they knew about the baby switch? [A] They went to Globo TV for more information. [B] They helped Dimas find his birth parents. [C] They switched the hospital’s records. [D] They took another DNA test. 59. Who are Elton Plaster’s biological parents? [A] The Plasters. [B] The Aliprandis. [C] Dimas and Elton. [D] Nilza and Adelson. Text 2 Force of habit is a powerful thing. How else can I explain why I spend $ 200 per month for a package of the Interact, TV, and telephone-most of which I don’t really need? My wife and I make most calls on our cell phones. We don’t watch much TV and nearly everything we want we could get online. So why not just pay for the Intemet and forget the rest. My answers are totally unreasonable: I’ m 49 years old; this is how I’ve always done things; change is hard. Most of the U. S. population is in this same situation. Nielsen recently reported that although online video (视频) viewing has risen 35 percent in the past year,99 percent of TV viewing is still done on a traditional TV. But that is not the case for younger people, like my friend Dan Frommer, a 27-year-old writer for a Website. Frommer pulled the plug (插座) on cable (有) TV in May 2008 and instead gets shows from the Interact by a Macintosh computer connected to his LCD television. He cannot get everthing he’d like to see, but he has saved $1,5000n cable-TV bills. The next generation-today’s young people-will likely never sign up for cable TV at all. This is terrible news for cable companies. For decades they have had a wonderful business model, running the tollbooth(收费站) that stood between you and the shows. Now the Intemet provides a way to get around the tollbooth, and cable companies are faced with a problem: do they welcome the Internet and try to make money online, or do they fight the Internet and try to delay the damage? The answer is to do both: delaying the trend with one hand while racing to develop workable Internet business models with the other. Problem is, even if the tollbooth stays up, it probably won’t make as much money. The rule is that when the Intemet hits an industry, wherever you used to make dollars, you now make cents. For cable companies, the good old days may soon be over. 60. Why do most people still watch traditional TV? [A] They have signed up for it. [B] They have no other choices. [C] They are in the habit of doing so. [D] They fail to see what they really like. 61. What do young people usually do nowadays? [A] Write for a website. [B] Get connected with cable TV. [C] Make money on the Intemet. [D] Use the Intemet instead of cable TV. 62. According to the text, cable companies are threatened by [A] population growth [B] people’ s old habits [C] online video viewing [D] cable company tollbooths 63. What is the problem faced by cable companies? [A] How to improve tollbooths. [B] How to make more money online. [C] How to survive in an Intemet age. [D] How to design attractive programs. Text 3 The way people in the US travel to and from work has changed a lot in the last fifty years. Before the Second World War, most people lived in the town or the city where they worked. Almost everyone either walked to work or used a good inexpensive transportation system. Many of these systems were electrified and ran on tracks, so they used very little energy. After 1945, the United States government built many new roads and highways. People moved farther and farther from the cities where they worked because they could drive their cars on these new roads from their suburban (郊区的) homes to work in the city. Some of the big car makers also bought the electrified transportation systems so they could destroy them. As people stopped using public transportation, cities spent less money to fix old buses and trains or to buy new ones. Public transportation got worse and worse. In the late 1960s, people found out that the increase in the use of cars led to many problems.There were always too many cars for the highway system, and terrible traffic problems developed. People were spending hours in traffic jams getting to and from work every day. In addition, the air in many cities became dirty because of pollution from millions of cars, and many people died in traffic accidents. As people began to get worried about how the use of cars was hurting the environment, cities began to spend more money on public transportation again so fewer people would have to drive cars. When gas became very expensive in the mid-1970s, the number of people taking public transportation began to increase. Because it is terribly expensive to build new public transportation systems, it is very difficult to make big changes in the way people travel, but an increase in the use of public transportation has begun. 64. Why did some car companies buy and destroy public transportation systems? [A] They were slower than cars. [B] They were too old to be fixed. [C] They were trying to build better ones. [D] They wanted to sell more of their products. 65. When did people in the US start moving away from where they work? [A] Before World War 11. [B] After 1945. [C] In the late 1960s. [D] In the mid-1970s. 66. What makes it difficult to change people’s way of travelling? [A] Lack of money. [B] Shortage of gas. [C] Poor quality of highways. [D] Increased number of cars. 67. What kind of transportation does the author seem to favour? [A] Electric cars. [B] Bicycles. [C] Gas cars. [D] Buses and trains. Text 4 New YorkmBy studying blindfolded college students who move through grass to find a chocolate scented (有…气味的) path by smelling, researchers say they’ve found evidence of a human smelling ability that scientists thought impossible. The study shows the human brain compares information it gets from each nostril (鼻孔) to determine where a smell is coming from. And it suggests dogs and mice and some other mammals(哺乳动物) do the same thing, unlike what most scientists have thought. People compare signals(信号) from each ear to determine the direction of a noise. But most scientists’ idea has been that mammals can’t do it in the same way for smells, because their nostrils are too close together to get different signals. "We debunked that," said Noam Sobel of the University of California, Berkeley, who reported the new results Sunday with graduate student Jess Porter and others on the Website of the magazine Nature Neuroscience. The report isn’t the first to suggest the two-nostril idea. But Sobel and his team have now "opened the doors for full consideration of it," said a researcher familiar with the work. Most of the paper focuses on what a group of undergraduate psychology students could do in a garden on the Berkeley campus. One outdoor experiment was designed to see if people could use just their noses to follow a 30-foot-long path of chocolate scent through the grass. The path was laid out with scented ropes. But the 32 students were blindfolded and equipped with thick gloves to make sure they couldn’t see or feel it. Two-thirds of the students succeeded in following the scent. Another experiment found that the volunteers succeeded only one-third of the time with one nostril taped shut. 68. What human ability does Sobel’s study focus on? [A] Smelling. [B] Hearing. [C] Touching. [D] Moving. 69. What is the most commonly held idea among most scientists? [A] Most mammals have similar brain functions. [B] The nose and ears do not work in the same way. [C] It’s useless to experiment on smell ability. [D] Human’s smell is similar to the animal’s. 70. In Sobel’s study, the students were asked to [A] find the hidden ropes in grass [B] feel their way out of the garden [C] follow the chocolate smell [D] share chocolate bars 71. What does the underlined word "debunked" in paragraph 4 mean? [A] Proved something wrong. [B] Had confidence in something. [C] Failed to find any evidence. [D] Re-examined the results of something.

You’ve got a lot of people. M: Yes. Our art director has just hired four new designers. Text 2 M: Excuse me. Where can I find the manager in this building? I need to speak to him fight now. W: Sorry. I can’t help you. I’m not familiar with this building. My friend lives here. Text 3 M: Did you have a nice weekend? The weather was lovely. W: Yes, we did. I went for a walk in the park near our home and my husband and the children went boating on the lake. Text 4 M: How can I get to National City Bank? W: Walk down Elm Street as far as the traffic lights; tum left onto Poplar Street; walk to the end onto Oak Street and the bank is on your left. Text 5 M: Hi, Lisa. Shirley and I are going for a drink after work at the usual place. Would you like to come along? W: My car is in the repair shop and i have to pick it up. You go ahead and I’ll meet you there. Text 6 M: Oh, I am starving. W: Me too. Shall we eat out? There is a new French restaurant down the street. M: Oh, forget about it. I went there with a friend last week. The menu was all in French and I just couldn’t read it. W: That’s what you are paying for. M: Maybe. But I should say everything was expensive and nothing was to my satisfaction. W: Then how about the Italian restaurant on the next block. M: Well. I ate out almost every day last week. Let’s just eat in today. W: But I am not in the mood to cook. M: I will cook then.

When people find out that I am a Canadian citizen who can’t speak Chinese well, they usually call me a banana. You know, yellow on the outside and white on the inside. W: How does that make you feel? M: Well, I first feel mad. Then I feel sad, because I am seen as someone who has forgotten his root.

W: Well, she never used to be interested in money at all, M: By the way, Simon Fox was at the party. W: Was he? I haven’t seen him for ages. M: Naturally, he couldn’t help asking me questions about you. W: I think he still thinks that we might get back together one day. M: Exactly. W: Well, not much chance of that. Text 9 W: Where is the report I asked you to finish for today, Daug? M: I’m really sorry, Ms. Jameson but it’s not quite ready. I will have it by tomorrow.

I know you are able to do much better than you have shown in the last few months. Text 10 W: Good morning.

我的回答完全不合理：我今年49岁了，而这一直是我做事的方式;改变太难。大多数美国人都是这样。Nielsen最近报道说，尽管在线视频观看在去年已经增加了百分之三十五，但是百分之九十九的电视节目都是在传统电视上观看的。不过年轻人的情况并非如此，比如我的朋友Dan Frommer，他是一名27岁的网络作家，Frommer在2008年五月份把有线电视线拔掉，然后通过连接在LCD电视上的Macintosh电脑在网上看电视。他没法在网上看到所有想看的节目，但是每年节省了1500美元的有线电视费。下一代人——现在的年轻人——可能根本不会订购有线电视。 对于有线电视公司来说这是个可怕的消息。几十年以来，他们一直拥有很棒的运营模式，在观众和节目之间经营一家收费站。现在因特网给观众开拓了一条避开收费站的路，有线电视公司面临一个问题：他们是欢迎因特网并且力争在网上赚钱还是同因特网斗争以延缓网络的破坏?答案是两手准备：一方面延缓这种趋势;同时和对方合作尽早开发可行的网络业务。 问题是：即使收费站依然存在，也赚不了多少钱。现实是：受到因特网冲击时，原本可以赚大钱的地方，现在只能赚小钱了。对于有线电视公司来说，美好的时光即将一去不复返了。 60.C 【精析】推理题。题干意为“为什么大多数人还看传统电视?”从文章第二段“Change is hard.Most of the US population is in the same situation.改变太难。大多数美国人都是这样”可以得知，大部分人还看传统电视是出于习惯。故C为正确答案。 61.D 【精析】推理题。题干意为“如今的年轻人一般都干什么?”从文章第二段“But it is not the case for younger people不过年轻人的情况并非如此”可以得知，年轻人和年龄大的人习惯不同，不看传统电视，习惯于通过网络看节目，故D为正确答案。 62.C 【精析】推理题。题干意为“根据文章内容，有线电视公司受到谁的威胁?”从文章内容来看，当今的年轻人不再喜欢看传统电视，习惯于通过网络看节目，故C为正确答案。 63.C 【精析】概述题。题干意为“有线电视公司面临的问题是什么?” 从文章内容来看，有线电视受到网络冲击，营业额在变小，年轻的观众不再订阅有线电视，因此有线电视公司面临生存的问题，故C为正确答案。 参考译文 Text 3 过去五十年中，美国人上下班的方式变化很大。二战以前大部分人都住在自己工作的地方。几乎每个人都是要么步行上班，要么使用优质、廉价的交通工具上班。大部分的交通系统用电并在轨道上运行，因此耗能很低。 美国政府在1945年以后修了很多的公路和高速。人们住的离工作地点越来越远，因为他们可以开车从郊区的家驶往工作所在的城市。有些大型汽车制造商收购电车系统以便摧毁它们。随着人们不再使用公共交通系统，市政府花费在修理旧公交车或电车、购买新车的钱也变少了。公共交通越来越差。 在二十世纪六十年代末，人们发现汽车使用增多引起很多问题。高速公路上总是有太多的汽车，严重的交通拥‘堵开始出现。人们每天上下班都要堵车几个小时。另外，由于数百万辆汽车的污染，城市的空气变脏，并且很多人死于交通事故。 当人们开始担心汽车的使用对环境造成危害，各个城市开始再次花更多钱用在公共交通上，这样，需要自己开车的人就会变少。 二十世纪七十年代中期汽油涨价时，乘坐公共交通的人数开始增加。由于重建公共交通系统耗资过大，因此想让人们出行方式发生很大变化也很难，但是人们已经开始更多的使用公共交通了。 64.D【精析】推理题。题干意为“为什么有些汽车公司收购并摧毁公共交通系统?”由文章第二段“Some of the big car makers also...destroy them.”可知，汽车制造商收购公共交通然后破坏这些设施，是为了让人们没有公共交通可用，迫使人们买车。所以正确答案是D。 65.B【精析】推理题。题干意为“美国人什么时候住的离工作地点越来越远?”依据第二段文章所陈述的“people moved farther and farther from the cities they lived”，1945年以后，美国政府开始大量修路，可以得知是B。 66.A 【精析】细节题。题干意为：“是什么导致人们改变出行方式很难?”根据文章最后一段的“…terribly expensive to build new...big changes in the way…重建公共交通系统耗资过大…让人们出行方式发生很大变化也很难”得知由于花费太高，无法重建公共交通系统，因此无法在很大程度上改变人们的出行方式，故A为正确答案。 67.D 【精析】推理题。题干意为：“作者看起来倾向于哪一种交通方式?”根据文章内容来看，作者认为汽车污染空气，堵车严重，应该提倡公共交通，故D为正确答案。 参考译文 Text 4 纽约——研究人员称：他们通过研究眼睛被蒙起来的学生依靠嗅觉在发出巧克力味道的草丛中向前行进，发现人类身上具有以前科学家认为不可能存在的嗅觉能力。 研究表明，人类大脑对比两个鼻孔搜集到的信息来确定气味来自何处。研究说明，狗和老鼠以及其他的哺乳动物也是这样做的，这点和其他大多数科学家的观点不同。 人们把两只耳朵搜集的信号进行比较以确定噪音的方向。但是大 部分科学家认为哺乳动物在嗅觉方面做不到这一点，因为他们的鼻孔太近，无法搜集不同的信号。 “我们驳斥这一点。”伯克利加州大学的Noam Sobel这样说，他和研究生Jess Porter以’及其他人在Nature Neuroscience杂志的网站上共同做了一篇名为Sunday的新闻报道。 这篇报道不是第一个说明两个鼻孔想法的新闻。对此项研究熟悉的一名研究人员说：“但是Sobel和他的团队打开了对这个问题进行全面思考的大门。" 文章主要讲述了一群心理学研究生在伯克利校园的花园里能够做什么 一个户外实验设计用来确定人是否可以只用鼻子就可以沿着散发着巧克力味的草丛前行。 路上拉上散发巧克力味的绳子。但是32名学生眼睛被蒙起来并且戴上厚手套，以确保他们看不到也摸不到绳子。 三分之二的学生成功的利用气味前行。另外一个实验发现，当一只鼻孔被堵上时，只有三分之一的志愿者能够成功。 68.A 【精析】细节题。题干意为：“Sobel的研究是关于人类的哪一种能力的?”从文章第一段“of a human smelling ability that scientists…”可以得知，实验是关于人类嗅觉的，故选B。 69.B 【精析】推理题。题干意为：“大多数科学家通常认为…?”由文章第三段可知，大多数科学家认为哺乳动物辨别嗅觉和听觉的方式不同，因为辨别嗅觉所用到的两个鼻孔太近，不能进行比较，故选B。 70.C 【精析】细节题。题干意为：“在Sobel的研究中，学生们被安排做…?”由文章倒数第二段“…were blindfolded and equipped with thick gloves…”可知，参加实验的学生眼睛被蒙起来，被要求根据鼻子闻到的气味前行，故选C。 71.A 【精析】语义题。题干意为：“第四段中划线部分的单词‘debunked’是什么意思?”debunk的意思是驳斥，故选A。A选项意为证明某事是错误的;B选项意为对某件事有信心;C选项意为没能找到证据;D选项为重新检查结果。 参考译文 Text 5 里斯酒店-----二星级酒店 感谢您选择里斯酒店，请抽时间看以下说明以获得更加愉悦的人住经历。 大楼安全 通过办公室窗户旁边的内墙上的读卡器，白色的卡片可以使您顺利进入大楼。如果卡片有丢失或者损坏，请您立刻汇报。 请勿在无人看管的情况T把任何行李或者箱子放在房间内。 骨确保离开房闽时用钥匙把，’7锁上。 火警安全 请熟悉离您最近的紧急出口。 火灾警报打开时，请务必迅速离开大楼并在外面里斯酒店对面的Southsea Common集合点集合。请勿在未获得许可的情况下回酒店取东西。 每月二上午十点至于点一刻进行火灾演习。 油烟规定 为了所有客户入住方面和舒适，酒店内和酒店前禁止抽烟。院内提供抽烟场地。 退房 每天上午十点办理退房手续。 退房以后请在前台办理行李寄存手续。 十点以后退房加收一天房费。 问卷 里斯酒店的管理者始终致力于提高服务水平。如果您能抽出几分钟时间完成房间里的问卷调查并且交到前台，我们不胜感激。 72.A 【精析】推理题。题干意为：“该文是写给谁的?”由文章第一段“Thank you for choosing to stay at…”来看，文章是写给酒店客人的，所以正确选项为A。 73.B 【精析】细节题。题干意为：“通过原文，客人需要白色卡片做什么?”由第二段中“the white card will gain your entry into the building…”可知，白色的卡可以让客人顺利进入酒店大楼，正确答案是B。 74.C 【精析】细节题。题干意为：“火灾演习多久一次?”从文章第二部分“fire drills are carried out every Tuesday between 10:00 and 10:15"可知，火灾演习时间为每星期二上午十点至十点一刻，所以正确答案是C。 75.D 【精析】细节题。题干意为：“问卷用于做什么?”从文章最后一段“to improve customer service level…”可知，问卷调查的目的是不断提高服务水平，所以正确答案是DO 第四部分 书面表达 【高分范文】 20th June.2013 Dear Sue， It’s been ages since we last saw each other.
