This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year, but its always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day. But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus resurrection (复活) from the dead. Most people color them. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs, they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (复活节兔子). But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria, red Easter eggs are lucky in churches; Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria, for example, children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.( )4.

They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime “coral bleaching(白化现象)” events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them. In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world.“Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places-the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when theyre looking a place to settle”, said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University Exeter, UK.By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. "These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage were seeing on many coral reefs around the world,” said lead author, Tim Gordon.( ) 8. What causes the phenomenon of coral bleachingA. Diverse species B. Noise pollution.C. Fishing industry D Climbing temperatures.( ) 9. What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?A Removing damaged coral reefs B. Using loudspeakers to keep fish awayC. Building new homes for sea species. D Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish( ) 10. Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?A. To provide some findings of the study.B. To show the progress of the experiment.C To explain reasons for the new approach.D. To give another solution to the problem.( ) 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The attempts are in vain.B. Natural recovery is impossible.C Initial success has been achieved.D. The coral reefs have returned to normal.参考答案：DDCC D While most teenagers were studying to get into a top university, one 19-year-old was starring in his first movie, Blue Gate Crossing.It was a film about love on campus and it was well received in Taiwan.Many say it was this film that put Bolin Chen in position for his later glittering career in show business.In fact.it was not until he played a troubled young man in the movie Buddha Mountain three years ago that he regained his passion for acting.While being called a“youth idol”may seem like a compliment，it is a title that Chen has tried to shake off.He believes that “a youth idol means you simply rely on your appearance，not your acting talent”.The most important thing for Chen now is to take more initiative(主动性）as an actor.“To me，an actor is like a chess piece，waiting for producers and directors to put him somewhere they want him to be.”Chen, 29, told NetEase.“But I want to be the game player.”He even took his ambition a step further，setting tip his own production company.But just when Chen started to locus on off-screen work，his life on screen took another turn.He won the title of Best Leading Actor at the 2012 Golden Bell Awards on Oct 26 for his role in hit TV drama In Time with You.When asked why he accepted the part，which is another “youth idol”role.he told Yangcheng Evening News：“I played it for my grandfather.He tells everyone around that I am an actor.but I used to play in movies, not TV series.Now he is in the hospital.I hope that he can watch my performances by simply turning on the TV.”Chen is a veteran(老手)in the entertainment world, but unlike many stars，he hasn't led a luxurious(奢华的)life.He doesnt even have a car but walks, rides a bike or takes a taxi whenever he goes out.He doesnt have a house, either.“Everyone will eventually find some place to live anyway，why bother to buy property (地产)?”he asked Taiwan magazine Business Today.( )12.What does Bolin Chen think of his title“youth idol”?A.He likes it very much. B.He thinks it a compliment.C.He wants to get rid of it. D.He is not worthy of it.( )13.Bolin Chen's words in Para 4 suggest that he_.A.1ikes to play games such as chessB.wants to take an active part in producing his filmsC.cannot get along well with some directorsD.thinks producers are more important in making a film( )14.Bolin Chen played a part in the TV drama In Time with You because he_.A.failed in off-screen workB.had become a“youth idol”C.wanted to delight his grandfatherD.wanted to succeed in the new field( )15.The main idea of the last paragraph is that Bolin Chen_.A.is a veteran in the entertainment worldB.hasn't made much money from his workC.doesnt like the entertainment worldD.prefers a different lifestyle from most stars参考答案：CBCD第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 16 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 17 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 18 It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfactionthe feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human bodythis level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 19 On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice.20 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A. Then a third level appeared.B. Different people have different wants on each level.C. There are several levels of wants in ones life.D. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G. Human wants seem endless.参考答案：GDAFE7 / 7
