For most people, the longest relationship they will have is with their sibling(兄弟姐妹）. It’s a shame, then, that we can’t choose them. As children, my younger sister and I were always (41)_________with each other. I was jealous of her looks and she felt threatened by my academic success. But our rivalry（竞争）was (42)_________compared to that of some famous siblings.
Take 1940s movie stars Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine. The competitive relationship between these sisters is the stuff of Hollywood legend. “I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did. And if I die first, she will (43)__________be angry because I beat her to it,” Joan wrote in her autobiography. Their rivalry became very (44)_________in 1946 when Olivia won an Oscar.

The brothers never spoke to each other again and their rivalry(49) _______the town. The residents wore either Adidas or Puma and would sometimes refuse to (50)_________each other. It became a place where you always looked at the (51)__________someone was wearing before starting a conversation. The brothers died in the 1970s and were buried in the same cemetery -----at opposite ends.
But not all successful siblings (52)_______each other.

They played doubles together, lived together, and even had breakfast before these big matches.’ We leave everything on the (53)_______.’ Serena once said. ‘We’re sisters the moment we shake hands at the net.’
So, now that we are adults, have my sister and i learnt to be more like the William sisters and less like the Gallaghers Well, I’d love to say “Yes” but the (54)________answer is “not always”.

Section B
Directions：Read the following passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Our youngest daughter can be stubborn about receiving gifts, and I told her so.
“Where do you think I get it from ” she asked.
“I’m not stubborn when it comes to receiving gifts,” I said. “I used to be but not now.”
She has a birthday coming up and we want to get her some new cowboy boots.
Cowboy boots aren’t cheap, but we want to do something special and get her something she could use and enjoy for years to come.
But my daughter is pushing back, saying she’s happy with her current boots-which are old and worn-out.
I push back, she pushes back, and we become locked in a mother-daughter match over stubbornness and how much is too much to spend on a special gift.
She thinks my husband and I do too much for her. I used to think the same thing about my parents—my parents weren’t rich, but they were generous.
They kept saying they enjoyed giving me gifts, but all I could think about was how much money they were wasting on me.
Years ago, I mentioned to a friend that I thought my mother overdid it when it came to buying gifts for her children.
My friend, closer to my mothers age than mine, looked at me and said, “Who are you to tell your mother what she can do ”
I wanted to argue with her, but I didn’t. I didn’t fully understand it then but I understand it now—now that I’m a grandmother myself.
The longer you live, the more you see how often things go wrong.
Marriages fail, friendships break down， family members become estranged, and accidents and illnesses cut lives short.
There is a brokenness that fills many of our lives.
So, when you see life going well, families working hard and growing strong, you want to celebrate.
It took a lot of time for me to understand that giving is an expression of joy, as much as it is an expression of love, understand where my daughter is coming from, but I also understand where my parents were coming from—a place of pure and simple joy celebrating those moments when life goes well.
56. Why did the author’s daughter try to refuse her mom’s gift
A. She had many boots to wear.
B. She wanted something else for her birthday.
C. She didn’t like the style of the boots.
D. She didn’t want her mom to spend too much money.
57. The author began to understand her parents’ behavior after she ________.
A. listened to her friends’ advice
B. experienced brokenness in life
C. communicated with her husband
D. received gifts from other family members
58. The underlined word “estranged” most probably means “________”.
A. lonely B. distant C. joyful D. complete
59. What does the author think about gift giving
A. It is the best way to express our love to others.
B. It is an expression of hope for the future.
C. It is a way to show our joy when life is going well.
D. It is a way for people to escape bad things in life.
(B)
For years, the Empire State Building in New York was recognized as the tallest building in the world, but in recent decades, many much higher structures have been built. Read on to learn more about four of the tallest skyscrapers existing today.
● Buri Khalifa
Buri Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is currently the tallest building in the world. The tower is part of a new development built on a man-made lake. Burj Khalifa has a distinctive shape so that the windows look out onto the Persian Gulf. A 304-room hotel occupies the lower floors and there is an observation deck on the 124th floor. The top floor is home to a private VIP club, closed to anyone except members.
● Shanghai World Financial Centre
This skyscraper has the highest observation deck in the world, although the building itself is no longer the tallest. Construction stopped between 1998 and 2003 because of the Asian financial crisis, but it was eventually finished in 2008. The most distinctive feature in its design is the geometric opening at the top of the tower.
● International Commerce Centre
This skyscraper in Hong Kong stands on top of Kowloon Station, which gave its name to the original proposal for the building. The tower is not as high as in earlier plans because of regulations that prevented buildings from being taller than the surrounding mountains. A five-star hotel occupies the upper fifteen floors of the building. There is an observation deck on the 100th floor and a number of five-star restaurants on the 101st floor.
● Petronas Tower
These towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are the tallest twin buildings in the world. They were built on the site of the city’s horse-racing tracking and an exclusive shopping centre is located at the base. The towers are connected by a sky bridge on the 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest two-storey bridge in the world. It is open to the public, but only a limited number of free tickets are given out each day, and visitors are allowed no more than ten minutes on the bridge.
60 In which two buildings can you book a room
A. Buri Khalifa and Shanghai World Financial Centre.
B. International Commerce Centre and Petronas Towers.
C. Burj Khalifa and International Commerce Centre.
D. Petronas Towers and Burj Khalifa.
61. ________ is/are shorter than it/they was/were designed to be.

D International Commerce Centre

B. Visitors have to pay to stay on the two-storey bridge in Petronas Towers.
C. International Commerce Centre is named after its investor.
D. The top floor of Buri Khalifa is accessible to everyone.
(C)
Are we getting more stupid According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.
You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,” Crabtree told The Guardian.
At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak-condition gradually reduced.
This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going—you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework the pressure of looking pretty encourages you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less, we become less smart.
These mutations (变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.
However, Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing (用矛刺) a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modem education means lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.
“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn’t exist,” Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. “But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights (洞察力) that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation (进化适应).”
63. What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article
A. The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.
B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.
C Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.
D. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.
64. According to Crabtree, ancient humans ________.
A. had much more genes that determine human Intelligence
B. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures
C. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence
D. developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities
65. Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think ________.
A. people today are under much more pressure than early humans
B. it’s unreasonable to compare hunter’s and a poet’s intelligence
C. modern education is far more advanced than ancient education
D. human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
66. What is Thomas Hill’s attitude toward Crabtree’s theory
A. He is for Crabtree’s theory.
B. He is against Crabtree’s theory.
C. He is worried about Crabtree’s theory.
D. He is confused about Crabtree’s theory.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. The uncertainty about the product has undoubtedly increased sales of these dolls.
B. Designer dolls satisfy the spiritual needs of young Chinese consumers.
C. She can hardly wait to open the box and is excited to discover inside limited-edition (限量版) Molly doll.
D. However, it will definitely give the pleasure you want, and enjoy collecting it.
E. The small toys fit in the palm of your hand and come dressed in cute costumes.
F. Have you ever wondered why people build a collection of things
Designer Dolls Become Desirable Collectables
Kan Hui, senior stage set designer based in Beijing, stands in front of vending machine (自动售货机) in a shopping center. She feeds in the money and a paper box rolls out. ___67____ Dolls are not just toys for little girls any more. They have become desirable collectables for many young Chinese under the age of thirty.
Molly, a little girl with curly hair, wide eyes and pouting lips, is one of the best-selling dolls in China. Each Molly sells for 59 yuan and there are over one hundred editions of the doll in different series. For doll fans, it is an affordable way to build an “art” collection.
In fact, what has made collecting designer dolls a new phenomenon is the concept of a “blind box”. As the name implies, consumers have no idea which specific doll from a series they will get until they open the box. ____68____ Over 400 million Molly dolls are reported to have been sold throughout the country last year!
___69___ Psychologists say that collectors are trying to bring some order and meaning to their lives. That may be true, but I think they do it just because it is fun and sometimes educational. I have a friend who collects beer bottles. He does not recycle them for money. Instead, he has them lined up in neat rows on shelves, and over 200 of them are from more than 30 different countries—a good way to learn about geography.
Collecting Molly dolls is probably fad (一时的风尚) that will be replaced by another one eventually. ___70___
