When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?

If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planesacross the world.

Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times. 4. The author don’t need another watch because ________. A. he don’t like wearing a watch

B. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for help

C. he has no sense of time D. he thinks watches too expensive

5. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________. A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones C. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones D. people dive 300 metres into the sea

6. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage? A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising. B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors. C. It targets rich people as its potential customers. D. It’s easy for theindustry to reinvent cheap watches. 7. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Timex or Rolex? B. My Childhood Timex

C. Watches? Not for Me! D. Watches----a Valuable Collection

The early life of the green sea turtle (海龟) is full of danger. Only one in 1,000 baby sea turtles survive to adulthood (成年). From its home in the sand, it breaks its egg with an egg tooth. Its mother is not there to help it. Instead, it is greeted by crabs, coyotes,and dogs waiting to eat it for dinner. To survive, the baby turtle must hide in the sand until night. Then, it moves slowly to the sea.

The small turtle must swim hard to reach the ocean waters. In the sea, it tries hard to find food. It must also keep itself from being food for fish.

As dangerous as the sea turtle’s life is in the natural world, its most dangerous enemies are humans. The rubbish left by humans in the ocean causes problems for the small green sea turtle. A little turtle might eat a piece ofplastic (塑料) in the sea. It might also eat oil on the ocean’s surface. Young turtles also get caught in fishing nets. There are laws against hunting sea turtles. Still, many are hunted, both for their meat and for their shells (壳). All of these dangers must be prevented.

Sea turtles that do survive to grow into adulthood go through many changes. For example, adult green sea turtles weigh about 500 pounds. They stop eating jellyfish and other meat and eat only plants. And they may plan a trip to go back home again. A mother sea turtle goes back to the beach where she was born. This is the only

place where she will lay eggs. Even if it has been forty years since she was a baby, she always knows her way back home.

8. Why do baby turtles move to the sea at night? A. They dislike sunshine.

B. They prefer lower temperatures. C. They can find food easily then. D. They need to avoid enemies.

9. What does the author think of the young turtles in Paragraph 3? A. Pitiful. B. Careless. C. Interesting. D. Courageous. 10. What can we learn about sea turtles? A. They mainly feed on fish and meat.

B. They always produce eggs at their birthplaces. C. They can live for around forty years.

D. They visit their beach homes several times a year. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The homes of green sea turtles. B. How sea turtles find their food. C. The dangers faced by sea turtles. D. How young turtles become adults.

Babies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.

In the study, researchers looked at 11- and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university

The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year

old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.

The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.

\"The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development.\" said McGillion, a co-author of the work.

\"The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,\"added McGillion.

\"This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,\"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study. 12. How did the researchers get the findings? A. By interacting with babies. B. By asking babies to vocalize. C. By analyzing relevant recordings. D. By referring to the previous statistics.

13. What does he underlined word \"it\"in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Infants' eye contact. B. Infants' larger vocabulary. C. The response from caregivers. D. The best predictor of vocabulary.

14. What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour? A. I's easy to perform. B. It's complex to understand. C. It's difficult to copy. D. It's interesting to video.

15. What might further studies be on? A. Children's academic progress. B. Children's growing environment.

C. Children's potential physical development. D. Children's behaviours across more age ranges. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Last Friday I took the subway home as usually. Since our physics teacher had just teach us in class that the escalator (自动扶梯) worked, I decided to see how fast the escalator went. To my surprise, it went a speed of about 40 m/min. The next day, I went to a department store with her cousin Emily. I timed the escalator here too. I found that it was much slower, going about 30 meter every minute. Why? I check on the Internet and found the reason. Stores slow down escalators on a purpose, allowing customers more time to looking at their products. 第二节书面表达(满分25分)

52.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was born and grew up in a small seaside town. In my childhood, I often played on the beach with my elder sister, chasing (追逐) the waves and enjoying the seaside scenery.

One sunny summer afternoon, my sister and I were playing on a big rock quite a distance from the beach. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the water rising. When we decided to go back, we were shocked to find that the rock had almost been covered by water and there was no way back to the shore. Meanwhile, the wind blew harder and harder. We got into a panic, waving and shouting crazily towards the shore. Suddenly, I slipped (滑) and fell into the sea. My sister stretched out her hand to catch hold of me. However, she could not stay still, and slid off the rock into the sea, too.

“Help! Help!” We cried. I could feel my body tingling (酸麻) as I tried to breathe for air. I attempted to swim back to the rock, but the water was too deep and the waves were too strong. What made things worse was that the rough water made it almost impossible for anyone to hear our cries. Tears mixed with the water as I struggled in the sea. My sister, although using all her strength, wasn’t able to pull me in. Instead, she was being pushed apart from me by the big waves. The two of us, scared to death, kept crying.

Luckily, two boys playing on the beach happened to see us. They quickly found a stick nearby and approached us cautiously, hand in hand. They tried to pull us ashore with the stick. But the stick was too short for us to reach. Worse still, the wind was getting so strong that the two boys were rocked from side to side, unable to stand steadily. Eventually, they had no choice but to go back to the shore to look for other people to help us.

Another huge wave crashed over my head and pulled me under.
