　　Part I Writing (30 minutes)

　　范文1：

　　Were I supposed to introduce one place in my campus for my foreign friends, the first place come up to our mind automatically is the student pavilion。

　　The reason why I am in favor of it is that student pavilion plays a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often busy with textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the place which holds a variety of activities from time to time range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports, speech contests, painting’s clubs, etc. All these activities provide opportunities for students to enrich their knowledge and relax themselves。

　　All in all, student pavilion opens the door for students to develop and enjoy themselves. I am sure if you come to the student pavilion, you’ll be bound to love it。

　　范文2：

　　If I’m the guide of my foreign friend’s visit to our campus, I will choose the Cherry Avenue as our first destination。

　　As the name implies, the Cherry Avenue is lined with hundreds of neatly-placed cherry blossom trees. It is about 200 meters long and a major scenic spot in our campus. In spring when the cherry trees bloom, the flowers are so dense that looking from a distance, it seems as if the road were surrounded by pink-hued clouds. Especially when there is a breeze, petals of cherry blossoms flutter and fall gently like a drizzle. Such breath-taking scene will put visitors into a kind of trance。

　　What’s more special is the buildings along the avenue. Built in early 1900s, they are now called "cherry blossom castle". They’ve witnessed the history of our school and even our country. You can learn a lot about our school there。

　　In a word, a tour to the Cherry Avenue is both an amazing sight-seeing and a great opportunity to know about the culture of our school。

　　M: Janet Holmes? Oh, that’s right. She’s in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her?

　　W: Nothing, it’s just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She’s afraid she won’t be able to attend your class this afternoon though. I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. Janet said it’s due today。

　　M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office。

　　W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I’m afraid I can’t come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon。

　　W: Fine, please tell her I’ll be there at 4:00. And Dr. Ellis, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn’t give me directions to your office。

　　M: I used to feel the same as you. But now I quite enjoy it。

　　W: How do you pass the time? Do you bring some work with you to do on the train?

　　W: I suppose you know lots of people on the train now。

　　SectionB

　　Passage1

　　Most American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don t have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as much information as possible from the first or second reading。

　　An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it s important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Don t mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don t understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time。

　　16. What should American college students do to cope with their heavy reading assignments?

　　17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a textbook?

　　18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?

　　Passage 2

　　The thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn’t a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night。

　　It doesn’ t matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!

　　Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one。

　　The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all。

　　19. What is taken for granted by most people?

　　20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin s case?

　　21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin s sleeplessness?

　　Passage Three

　　Hetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia。

　　Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. Her daughter built a hospital with her money。

　　22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?

　　23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?

　　24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?

　　25. What do we learn about Hetty’s daughter?

　　China should further develop its nuclear energy because nuclear power accounts for only 2% of China’s total generating capacity. Such proportion ranks the thirtieth in all the countries possessing nuclear power, which is almost the last。

　　After Japan’s nuclear power plant accident in March 2011, nuclear power development in China was suspended, as well as the approval of new nuclear power plants. In addition, the national safety check for the nuclear power was launched. It was not until October 2012 that the approval was resumed prudently。

　　With the improvement of technology and safety measures, chances of nuclear accidents are quite slim. In other words, it is safe to explore and utilize the nuclear power。
