Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue(残留物)in the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Remove the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should completely disappear.Walking on EggshellsCan Eggs hold the weight of your entire body Materials: six cartons(硬纸盒)of eggs, a garbage bagDirections: Place the garbage bag on the floor to make any necessary clean up easier. Place the cartons of eggs into two rows of three. Make sure all the eggs are pointing in the same direction-either all pointy end up or all rounded end up. Step onto the first carton of eggs carefully. If you’re careful, you will succeed. Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg.21. In the first experiment, what cause(s)the eggshell to disappear A. Water. B. Vinegar. C. Bubbles. D. Residue.22. What was the main factor in the success of the second experiment A. The arrangement of the eggs. B. the number of the eggs.C. The distribution of the cartons. D.

To instruct readers how to experiment with eggs.D. To inspire readers to conduct experiments carefully.BIn 2009, Sean worked for an American technology company. His job requires him to travel all over the United States. As he sat in his hotel room one night, he began to wonder what happened to the soap in the bathroom once he left the hotel. It’s impossible to leave it in the room for someone else to use. Curious, he asked the hotel manager, who told him the used soap had been thrown away and replaced with a new one.Shawn could not sleep that night. A quick Internet search informed him that there were about 4. 6 million hotel rooms in America. If 60 percent of these were used every night, over one million bars of soap would be thrown away every day. Was this really necessary The young man went on to read reports about the importance of hand-washing. He learned that thousands of children were dying every day from diseases related to bad hygiene(卫生). If the children washed their hands with soap, the number of deaths could be reduced by half. Soon, Shawn started a business recycling soap from hotels.Shawn started his charity, Clean The World, and began distributing(分发)his recycled soap to children all over the world. His other big task was to contact other hotels, so he could take away their used soap. He found that he was really doing the hotels a big favour. Not only was he putting their soap to good use, but he was also preventing millions of bars of used soap from ending up in landfill(垃圾填埋地)every year. His charity was able to raise money by charging the hotels for this service. In return, the hotels could tell everyone they were part of an amazing new charity.Today, the charity has offices overseas and operates in China, India and Canada. Many of the biggest hotel groups in the world are working with Clean The World, helping to save lives.24. What troubled Shawn when he was in a hotel room in 2009 A. His tiring travels. B. The waste of soap in hotels.C. His sleeping problems. D. The poor service of the hotel.25. What can we learn about Clean The World A. It is a win-win for itself and hotels.B. It helps hotels make a lot of money.C. It intends to sell soap to poor people.D. It tries to create environment-friendly soap.26. Which of the following can best describe Shawn A. Far-sighted and strict. B. Curious and humorous.C. Public-spirited and caring. D. Responsible and courageous.27. What would be the best title for the text A. Hotels coming together B. Building good hygiene habitsC. Creative ways of making soap D. Recycling soap to save livesCPeople may set an alarm on the phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up A recent study says yes. The answer is music.The study, carried outby researchers in Australia, involved50people. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFarlane, a lead writer of the study stated, “We are very surprised by these findings as one might expect a harsh beeping sound to be more successful at waking up a person.”Sleep inertia(睡眠惯性)is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping. McFarlane said people need to better understand sleep inertia’s harmful effects on human performance later in the day.“Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who need to perform well during this time, care should be taken when performing their duties,” he said. “This includes dangerous tasks like driving or riding our bikes shortly after waking up. The same is true for people who work in dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including firefighters and pilots.”So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a “beeping” alarm. McFarlane said that the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person’s attention when waking from sleep.And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to There maybe, McFarlane said. “We could suggest alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to sing along with. The current sounds I have been using include ‘Close to me’ by the Cure and ‘Borderline’ by Madonna.”No matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.28. What do the underlined words “shake off” mean in Paragraph 1 A. Get hold of. B. Get rid of. C. Pay attention to. D. Fit in to.29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage A. Sleep inertia is the main cause of grogginess.B. How long a person sleeps is of great importance.C. The “beeping” alarm is not effective mainly because of its noisy tone.D. It is dangerous for everyone to drive or ride bicycles shortly after waking up.30. What makes music more effective in resisting sleep inertia A. It varies in tones. B. It is pleasant to hear.C. It has higher frequency. D. It is easier to understand.31. In which section of a magazine may you find the passage A. Technology. B. Fiction. C. Health. D. Entertainment.DA team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating(涂层)that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations(红外线辐射)from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up-by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays(喷雾)create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels(排斥)water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar radiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear. However, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.32. How does the new coating work to remove fog A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.B. By keeping cool air away from the object.C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.D. By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.33. Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products A. To stress the advantages of the new coating.B. To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.C. To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging products.D. To explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular.34. What is the limitation of the new coating A. It is considerably expensive. B. It depends on sunlight to work.C. It takes too much time to produce. D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.35. What do the researchers plan to do next A. Apply for a patent for the invention.B. Develop the product for more practical uses.C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.D. Seek a more environmentally friendly material to replace gold.第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。Four Common Communication MistakesIt can be embarrassing to make mistakes in communication. For example, if you send an email with a grammatical mistake, you can end up looking unprofessional. 36 For example, they can push away colleagues or customers. Now let’s look at some common communication mistakes.37Spelling, tone and grammatical mistakes can make you look careless. That’s why it’s essential to check all of your communications before you send them. Sometimes, it can be difficult to see errors in your own work. So consider asking a colleague to lookover key documents before you distribute them.You always deliver bad news by email.Would you announce something bad to others by email If you did, you could upset them! Written communication channels don’t allow you to soften difficult messages with non-verbal(非言语的)clues, such as body language. 38 So if you need to deliver bad news, do this in person.You tend to avoid difficult conversations.At some point, you will need to give negative feedback(反馈意见). It may seem wise to avoid such conversation. 39 For instance, you may find that a small problem you “let go” soon grows into a big one. Preparation is the key to handling difficult conversations. Learn to give clear, actionable feedback.You are reacting instead of responding.Have you ever shouted at a colleague in upset, or sent a brief and unfriendly reply to an email, without thinking your point through If so, you’re likely to have reacted emotionally, instead of responding calmly. The kind of emotional reaction can damage your reputation(名声). 40A. You fail to have your work checked.B. But this can cause further problems.C. Difficult conversations can cause upset.D. You assume others understand your messages.E. You may give others the impression of lacking self-control.F. And they don’t allow you to immediately deal with strong emotions.G. Other communication mistakes can have more serious consequences.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出填入空白处的最佳选项。Hank, a two-year-old cat, is a homebody.

That year, my close relatives were visiting from Lucknow during the holidays, and we made a plan to visit Abu for three days. Since there were seven of us, including my brother’s family who also lived in Ahmedabad, we hired two cabs. We picked ourselves into the vehicles, stacked(堆放)our luggage on the carriers on top and started out.A good time was bad by all, and soon it was time to return. During the journey back, we stopped at a Dhaba for tea and snacks near the Mehana district. That’s when I noticed suddenly that the rope with which the luggage was tied on and of the carriers had come loose(松动的)and one of the suitcases was missing. It must have fallen off somewhere along the way.Although it didn’t contain any valuables—just clothes and some cash, we decided to retrace our steps, drawing back four kilometres, looking for the bag. But luck wasn’t our friend: we could not locate it and returned to Ahmedabad depressed.After about a month, one day, while in my office, I got a call from my assistant that a certain Mr. Smith wanted to see me. I was in the middle of a meeting so he was asked to wait. After I got done, I called him into my office.I was looking after the development of small industries in the state at the time, so my immediate query was. “How can we help you Do you want to set up an industry or are you facing any issues in your enterprise ” To which he said, “No, sir. I have not come for any official help. It is a personal matter. Did you lose something recently ”Of course, it all came back to me and I told him about the lost suitcase from the cab back from Mount Abu a month ago.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1: Then Smith told his side of the story.

While driving home, he noticed a suitcase lying by the side of the road. He left a message at the Lost and Found, but no one approached him for the suitcase. About a month passed, he could do nothing but break open the lock and found my name and address inside. Words failed me to convey my thanks for his kindness and generosity. Of course, I mentioned that I would visit his residence in the evening and collect my bag.(80)But the gentleman insisted on delivering the suitcase to me. In the evening he and his wife came to my house with the suitcase. We chatted over tea. I thanked them again. It was not for the belongings but for the efforts they spared to find me. We remained in touch for quite some time afterwards, but somehow we lost touch with each other. Hats off to him, the man who makes me realize that kindness still rules the world.(70)范文展示2:Then Smith told his side of the story. It turned out that a month ago on his way home from Mount Abu, he pulled over to use the toilet, and happened to notice a suitcase on the road. He put up a few posters in the local area, but the owner never contacted him. Eventually, he had to break open the lock and found my phone number. At it, I was overcome with unexpected surprise. After some grateful words, I told him I would drive to his house to collect my suitcase.(85)But the gentleman insisted on delivering the suitcase to me. He was worried I’d have a hard time finding his house. After what seemed two hours, he came to my house with the suitcase. The moments that followed witnessed our happy conversation. Before he left, I insisted on giving him a gift in return, but he refused firmly and said, “I’m happy to be of some help. If I took it, my happiness would be gone.” Looking at his fading figure, I was not only glad to have my suitcase back but also glad to have my trust in humanity back.(85)听力原文:Text 1W: What are we going to do tonight Why don’t we go to the cinema or a concert M: Well, the thing is that there’s a football match on television.Text 2M: Excuse me.
