I had enough savings to take a year off work，and I decided to try to satisfy a deepdown wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55，000 words. It takes confidence to make a new starttheres a dark period in between where youre neither one thing nor the other.Youre out for dinner and people ask what you do，and youre too ashamed to say，“Well，Im writing a novel，but Im not quite sure if Im going to get there.” My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published，I put it aside. Then I met an agent (代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents.So，I did and，to my surprise，got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and，after signing with an agent，I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher.After two and a half years of no income，just waiting and wondering，a publisher offered me a book dealthat publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luckof fate，really.When you set out to do something different，theres no end in sight，so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract (合同) of the publisherto be a published writeris unbelievably rewarding.24What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?AI was waiting for good fortune. BI was trying to find an admirable job.CI was being aimless about a suitable job.DI was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.25The author decided to write a novel _Ato finish the writing course Bto realize her own dreamCto satisfy readers wish Dto earn more money26How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?ADisturbed.

BHard work can lead to success.CShe feels like being unexpectedly lucky. DThere is no end in sight when starting to do something. C Earlier this month a study showed that bees can teach themselves to play football. They can learn by watching and, rather than copy what they have seen,change it to make it better. Bees also have a clever trick for helping their friends find lunch. New research shows that bees leave smelly little footprints on flowers that help them know what flowers they and their family members have recently visited. The discovery was made by scientists from University of Bristol who report these smelly footprints help bees distinguish between their own scent(氣味)，the scent of a relative and the scent of a stranger. And by using this ability ,bees can improve their success at finding good sources of a food and avoid flowers that have already been visited and mined of nutrients. The Bristol team performed three separate experiments with bumblebees（大黃蜂）in which they were repeatedly exposed to rewarding and unrewarding flowers at the same time that had footprints from different bees attached to them. Each flower type either carried scent -marks from bumblebees of differing relatedness or were unmarked. The marks were either the bees own marks, sisters from their nest ，or strangers from another nest. The study shows that not only can bumblebees tell the marks of their own nest mates from strangers，but they can also discriminate between the smell of their own footprints and those of their nest mate sisters，which could help them to remember which flowers they have visited recently. But it doesnt explain how they use that in the wild. They may detect the footprints of their friends and keep moving on，since that flower may be tapped out. Or they may smell a bit of familiar foot smell and dive in，seeing it as a marker that nectar（花蜜）is present. 28.What can we infer about bees in Paragraph1?A.They are smart learners. B.They have strong family ties. C.They enjoy smelly footprints. D. They like playing tricks on others. 29.What does “this ability ”in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Finding good sources of food. B.Following other bees footprints. C.Telling the smells of footprints apart. D. Recognizing different types of flowers. 30.What can we learn from the findings of the experiments? A.Its easier for Bumblebees to recognize their friends. B.Its unclear how bumblebees use their ability in the wild. C.Bumblebees memory can be significantly improved. D. Bumblebees footprints can give them a sense of identity. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.Different flowers attract different bees. B.Bees have a new trick of surviving in the wild. C.Bumblebees may smell footprints to keep track of food. D. Bumblebees can give off unique scents to attract others. D For many creatures, the ocean is a terrifying place. Several marine animals have declined as a result of overfishing and pollution. But cephalopods(頭足動(dòng)物) a type of invertebrate(無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物) that includes octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid, have seen a dramatic increase in their numbers over the past 60 years.Zoe Doubleday, a scientist at the University of Adelaide, in Australia, conducted a study of cephalopods recently. She points out that their population rise is due to the animals unique traits.The creatures can change their color and body shape. They are fast-growing and live for only one or two years. This allows them to adapt to changing environmental conditions more quickly than other marine species, Doubleday says.Rising sea temperatures may be speeding up the animals life cycle. They may be growing faster and producing more young. Cephalopods live in all of the worlds oceans. They can be found in waters from the freezing polar regions to the warm tropic regions. Because they adapt so easily to their environment, the animals are called the weed of the sea .Will octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid take over the world one day? Some people may wonder. According to Doubleday, that is unlikely. The rise in cephalopod populations could slow down if the animals run out of prey(被捕食的動(dòng)物) and start feeding on one another. Overfishing could also have an impact on their numbers.For now, the cephalopod population boom is good news for them and some other sea creatures. Increases in cephalopod populations could benefit predators(捕食性動(dòng)物) such as marine mammals and seabirds, which rely on cephalopods for food, Doubleday says.32.What has caused the number of some marine animals to reduce?A. Ship transportation.B. Global oil production.C. Rising sea temperatures.D. Overfishing and pollution.33.The underlined word traits in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. habitsB. featuresC. hobbiesD. looks34.According to Doubleday, cephalopods _.A.adapt to the environment quickly B. change their shapes with seasonC. prefer to live in the warm watersD. have a very long life cycle35.Which would be the best title of the text?A. CephalopodsB. Weed of the SeaC. Who will take over the world?D. The problems faced by marine animals第二節(jié)：（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)多余選項(xiàng)。 ELife getting you down? Learn to bounce backThat which does not kill us makes us stronger. Nietzsche said. There are a number of ways that can get us through tough times, help us to bounce back and make us happier. 36 Find something you can control.37 But taking small, positive steps in any area of our life can have a ripple effect, enabling us to move forward in the problem area.38 As a species, we tend to focus on whats wrong rather than whats right. But we can benefit a lot from paying attention to whats going right. Psychologists have shown consciously focusing on these good things helps to increase our experience of positive emotions.Check your thinking.39 Leading psychologist Martin Seligman found that the way we interpret the causes of everyday setbacks can have a significant impact on our ability to cope and our physical health. He also showed we can learn more resilient(有彈性的) thinking styles.Distract yourself.When we are trapped in a problem, it is hard to think creatively about ways to deal with it. It often helps to take time out from the things you are worrying about. 40 Not only does this give us a break from what were doing and our worries, its also great for our minds.A. Always do something that is right.B. Its true that there are lots of things we cant control.C. An effective way of taking time out is exercise.D. Next time you are feeling stressed or stuck, give them a try.E. Focus on whats right.F. Next time something goes wrong for you, pause for a moment.G. The way we think can destroy our own resilience.第三部分：英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié):完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分,滿分30分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出適合填入對(duì)應(yīng)空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上涂黑。 In the palace of Rubyland there was a thief.No one knew who it was，but the only thing known about him was that he_41_ in the palace.
