A newly discovered planet looks just right for life as we know it, according to an international group of astronomers. Circling a star about 500 light years away, the planet called Kepler-186f is about the same size as Earth. It goes round its star at the right distance for liquid water on the surface. That is a necessary condition for life. But it is not exactly like Earth, it’s more of an Earth’s cousin. It’s not an Earth’s twin. It shares the same characteristics as Earth, but their parent stars are very different. Kepler-186f circles a star that is smaller and cooler than our sun. But the planet appears to be a closer relative than most of the hundreds of others discovered so far. Some are huge gas-covered giants with thick atmospheres. Others circle too closely to their stars and are too hot for life. For the first time, we can actually say we now have a planet that is both Earth-sized and circles in its star’s livable zone. The next step would be to look for signs of life in the atmospheres of these distant world. That would take a more advanced telescope. But budget cuts threaten that task, says University of California at Los Angeles astrophysicist Ben. “In theory, we could do this in the next couple decades. But in practice, because there’s no money, it’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen in my lifetime, for example,’’ said Ben. However, NASA’s Elisa Quintana believes that when the next-generation space telescope is used, it will find that we are not alone in the universe. In the meantime, the search continues for other worlds where life may find a home. 21. What do we know about the newly discovered planet? A. It was discovered by chance. B. It has some form of life on it. C. It has suitable conditions for life. D. It is an ordinary planet like others. 22. The difference between the Earth and Kepler-186f is _________. A. they circle different parent stars B. they came into being at different times C. they move in space at a different speed D. they orbit their stars at a different distance 23. The discovery of Kepler-186f is remarkable because_______. A. man has discovered a new home B. it caused people’s interest in the universe C. man has found a familiar planet like the Earth D. it can help man know more about the Earth 24. What does Ben worry about in the future research? A. Lack of money. B. No cooperation. C. His coming old age. D. His weak influence. B Whenever we think of change, we tend to think of something that’s potentially going to push our lives into a period of uncertainty. Without exception, just the word “change” has the power to create a feeling of anxiety or insecurity and when you put the word ”lifestyle” in front of it, people often feel that they are faced with an unachievable task. Simply knowing that it would be in your best interests to lose weight and get fitter doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to act upon it, because it can feel like you are standing at the bottom of the mountain looking up at the summit. The journey seems long and hard and you get the sense that if you start it, you would bite off far more than you could chew! Of course, it’s good to have an idea about your targets, but that doesn’t mean you have to make the entire journey in one go. Change is frequently more acceptable and far more achievable when it is taken in bite-sized pieces. Change doesn’t have to be something you’re always going to start, it’s something you can start right now. A number of small changes that require minor adjustments to your life can work together to cause much bigger change overall. For example, say you allow yourself one can of soda a day. It doesn’t sound a lot, does it? But over a year that one can of soda adds up to you consuming over 60,000 calorie and over 2,000 teaspoon of sugar. Cut out that one can a day and replace it with a bottle of water, something which is far more beneficial to your health, and over the course of the year you could effectively lose 8 kilos. Losing weight and gaining health for good is all about making a change to your mind. That’s the control centre for everything and if your mind isn’t filled with too much change all in one go, it can develop new habits far more effectively. Small change originates a chain reaction. It makes you believe in yourself and there will come the moment when you realize you’re actually half way up the mountain looking back at how far you’ve come! 25. Why may people not take action even if they know losing weight does them good? A. Because they may feel it unachievable. B. Because they won’t change their lifestyle. C. Because they can’t stick to change for long. D. Because they have no clear idea about their targets. 26. The example mentioned in Paragraph 4 is used to show that . A. change is more achievable when taken in one go B. change has to be what one always wants to start C. even small changes require life adjustments D. even small changes can bring big gains 27. What is losing weight and gaining health for good all about? A. Gaining self-belief. B. Changing one’s mind. C. Controlling one’s appetite. D. Getting a sense of success. 28. The underlined word “originates” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “ “. A. requires B. delays C. creates D. affects C English Teacher Number of Positions: About 5 vacancies (空缺) a month Job Start Date: On-going, all year Location: Guangzhou, Shenzhen China Teaching Hours: 21—25 hours/week Age of Students: All Ages available; (Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, High School) Benefits Salary: 9500RMB/month (20% after 15 days, 30% after 6 months, and final 50% at the end of the contract) Housing: Free Furnished Single Housing Paid Vacation: 2 weeks or 10 days, plus national holidays Health Insurance: local medical insurance provided Requirements Required Nationality: American, Australian, British, Canadian, Irish, New Zealander or South African.

中专高考如果报的职教高考，难度跟普通高考不一样，要简单些。如果参加的普通高考，难度、题目就是一样的

D. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surprised Chinese students when he spoke to them in Chinese. In a speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. With Chinese having the most native speakers in the world and the study of the Chinese language increasing rapidly around the world, Zuckerberg’s talk raises a question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the world’s international language? Chinese will grow in importance, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. But I don’t think Chinese will replace English any time soon. American movies, music, television, video games have wider audiences, which is one reason for English’s popularity as a foreign language. So far China’s success in this aspect has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows and Chinese music don’t have a huge following outside of China. In addition, English is seen as a more neutral(中立的) language than Chinese. Unlike Chinese, English is not associated with one county. It is a universal language and is spoken in more than 170 counties. In 2014, China hosted the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing, China. But the meeting was not in Chinese. The official language of APEC is English. The most important reason is that Chinese is a more difficult language to learn. It is estimated that it would take a native English speaker 2,000 hours to reach professional fluency in Chinese. That is four times longer than it would take to reach the same level in Dutch, French, or Spanish. While Chinese grammar is much simpler, Chinese has a tone and writing system that is more difficult for adult learners to master. Last but not least, more people learn English than Chinese. A recent survey by Gallup showed that only one in four Americans is multilingual, which means only 25% of Americans can speak a foreign language besides English. For most Americans, learning a foreign language is a choice, not a necessity. China Daily has estimates that 400 million Chinese are studying English. That means China has more English learners that the U.S. has English speakers. 33. Mark Zuckerberg surprised Chinese students by __________. A. singing Chinese songs B. wearing Chinese clothes C. making a speech in Chinese D. speaking highly of Chinese 34.Which of the following contributes to English’s popularity as a foreign language? A. American growing economy. B. American pop culture. C. American freedom of speech. D. American education system. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The results pop culture development brings about. B. The influence English has on the global economy. C. The suggestions on how to master Chinese in a short time. D. The reasons why English would be more popular than Chinese. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10) 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。 Reading comprehension is an important skill to master for academic success. Many students have difficulty in understanding the point of a story and remembering what a story is about ----the basics of this task.

F . Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary :“ My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”

This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925,which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection lf short stories All the Sad Young Men.

Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the nost influential medium around. Indeed ,fot many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.

Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60% . That is some way behind the U.S. ,where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will ger a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班),which had outlawed TV, I in 5Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.

Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster foumd that when TVs reached village s, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health careTV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat,Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ edsire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.

Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.

This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more envitonmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies,with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.

Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clocd is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a mediun-term benefit for the brand.”

Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses bo buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放).
