17、 the 15th anniversary of China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). On that day in 2001, China formally became a member of the WTO. Now the country has grown into the worlds second-largest economy and the largest trading country, while millions of Chinese have been lifted out of pove

18、rty. And 15 years on, its evident that being a WTO member has transformed the nations everyday lives for the better. Imports are now a common sight in Chinese stores and supermarkets, while they were previously rarely seen on shelves. The Chinese now have access to many imports varying from luxury g

19、oods like high-end cars and famous brand watches, to daily necessities. Chinas WTO membership has also made imports less expensive for the Chinese public. For instance, since 2005, no tariffs (關(guān)稅) have been imposed (施加) on Chinese imports of digital cameras and other devices. Our education industry

20、has also benefited from Chinas WTO membership. Many top global universities have joined forces with Chinese ones to establish cooperative education institutions, bringing foreign teaching concepts to Chinese students. For example, New York University Shanghai was jointly founded by New York Universi

21、ty and East China Normal University. In addition, an increasing number of Chinese students are furthering their studies abroad, while many foreign students are coming to China to carry out their higher education. According to the Ministry of Education, 523,700 students studied overseas last year, an

22、d the number is expected to keep growing this year.

26、to climb? Do you know how to start climbing? Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerousBeing afraid is natural, but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safeClimbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerousAcc

27、idents happen, but when they do, they tend to attract a lot of publicityAs a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality You cannot expect to start climbing straight awayClimbing is a challenge and challenges take timeIt is necessary first of all that you achieve a g

28、ood level of fitnessBegin as soon as you become interested in climbing? go to the gym, go swimming, take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period Discover as much as you can about climbingVisit the library and find book, especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and

29、look for articles which describe your situationLook up information on the InternetFind out about equipment, methods and places to go Next, take a course on a climbing wallThere are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructorsCall your local lei

30、sure centre to find out if there is one in your area. These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners. After this, you can do an outside course of joining a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing ev

31、ents. At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period, but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled, then you will know it was the right thing to do.28.The article is written by . A.an experienced climber B.a

32、 doctor C.a beginner D.a fitness instructor29.The writer thinks a new climber should . A.be aware of the causes of the accidents B.have the courage to meet the challenges C.begin by becoming fit D.do enough sports to get interested in climbing30.By climbing walls you can . A.join a club you like B.g

33、ain controlled experience C.become qualified instructors D.take part in group-climbing events31.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means . A.the climb B.the training C.the equipment D.the achievementD Whenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something w

34、ill happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift. Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the lift doors to

35、 shut. But lifts“close” buttons are a complete scam (騙局), at least in the US-the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press. It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with

36、 disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys. But to normal lift riders, the buttons arent completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by o

37、ffering you a sense of control. “Perceived (能夠感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “ having a lack of control is associated with depression.” Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist

38、 in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (溫度調(diào)節(jié)器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace. But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “

39、white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort. “That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said. “Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons, I always press them

40、. After all, Ive got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”32.What was the authors main purpose in writing the article? A.To describe some different kinds of fake buttons. B.To analyze the functions of fake buttons.  C.To explain the

41、advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.  D.To explore peoples different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.33.In America, the“close”buttons on lifts _. A.were specially designed to give people a sense of control  B.are fake for the convenience of disabled people C.work only when

42、 people press them hard for a while D.cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case34.The underlined part “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 6 refers to _. A.giving people perceived control B.making people more patient  C.helping people to build up confidence D.making people wit

43、h depression feel better35.According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons _. A.dont know that what they press is fake B.should give up this habit  C.consider what they do to be meaningless D.probably do so to kill time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)為多余選項(xiàng)。How

44、to Improve Speed Reading Skills Speed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. 36 . Look at groups of words,not single words. 37 .However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks of words at one time, then you can read m

45、uch faster. Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of words. Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as “A, the, and, etc.” Scan for keywords. Sca

46、nning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for-a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word-you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or p

47、hrase you would like to find. 38 . The information you are looking for should pop out at you. 39 . You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. 40 .Do not count the words, just

48、 the pages or paragraphs. Record your figures: for instance, you might write“15min/6.5 pages.” A.Race the clock. B.Then, run your eyes rapidly over the text. C.Check your comprehension. D.Here are some Speed Reading Techniques. E.If you read a text one word at a time, then this will slow your readin

49、g speed way down. F.One of the reasons you read slowly is that you have to pause sometimes to understand what a passage is saying. G.When the timer goes off, check to see how far you have got. 第三部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)你，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，掌握其大意，然后從36-55各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 I used
