I boarded a small plane together with my sister and 42 other passengers. While flying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow. Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknown mountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister.
Adding a slight chance of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane,

even though it was freezing cold. At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water. We knew our food couldn’t last us long, sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon. We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.
Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival. Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine(尿)everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued. Thus, together with two other people, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers. Our ignorance provided our only chance. We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.
To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.
Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help. I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site. Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that there were 16 survivors who had cheated death despite the odds. 56. Why did they stay outside the plane?

Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in. D. Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.
A. Rescue people didn’t notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning. B. The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio. C. The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment. D. More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued. A. had told lies about death in spite of reality B. had avoided death in spite of huge difficulties C. had treated death with positive attitude D. had almost died in spite of strange expectation

( C )
Canada is a bilingual country with \"co-official\" languages. English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all federal government institutions in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from, federal (联邦的)government institutions in either English or French. Federal government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in designated bilingual regions.
Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s, it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years' War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (宪法)Act of 1867 enshrined the use of both languages in Parliament and in federal courts. Years later, Canada strengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969, which reaffirmed the constitutional origins of its co-official languages and set out the protections afforded by its dual-language status.
Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among other benefits, the 1969 Act recognized that Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.
The Canadian federal government is committed to advancing the equality of status and use of the English and French languages within Canadian society and provides support to the development of English and
第 7 页 / 共 11 页
French linguistic minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak another language entirely.
Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas, there are many regions of Canada where English is the clear majority language, so the government does not always offer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase \"where numbers warrant\" to indicate whether a local population's language usage requires bilingual services from the federal government. While many Canadians are bilingual, they are not only speaking English or French. Statistic Canada finds that more than 200 languages that were not English or French, were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French.
63. The acceptance of two official languages in Canada is due to ________. A. the language –using tradition caused by Canada’s colonial history.
B. the convenience for business dealings by using two languages in the country. C. the welcome attitude toward immigrates from all over the world. D. the mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education.
64. In reality whether bilingual service provided by the federal government is necessary in different districts is decided by ________.
A. the legal order from the federal government B. the popularity of the language in the world C. the number of schools teaching the language D. the number of local people using the language
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger number of users in Canada. B. The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969. C. Both French and English should be used on products in Canada according to federal law. D. Canadian people speak either French or English in social communication. 66. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The advantage of using multiple languages in Canada
B. The history and current situation of two language used in Canada C. The disadvantaged status of the French language used in Canada. D. Canadians’ advancement in balancing two languages in business world.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness. B. The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second. C. Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method. 第 8 页 / 共 11 页
D. Except for moral consideration, many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor of the meat. E. It’s difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily. F. It beats the former method by saving chefs’ effort in cleaning the creature.
Unit the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a species of animals, and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.
If you slap(掌击) another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response. __67__ Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals. Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs.
But huge disagreement exists. For example, scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters(龙虾) feel pain. Some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates(脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and learn to avoid dangerous situations. __68__ In result, today most scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in some countries. Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland and New Zealand. Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants prefer more humane methods. __69__ To satisfy picky diners, more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods. Stabbing a lobster in the head isn’t a good option, as it neither kills the lobster nor makes it unconscious.
Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes(电击) a lobster. __70__ The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2 minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts. IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
So, when you picked up a few things in a supermarket, a guy ran his cart over your toe with no apology. By the time when a fellow motorist had cut you off in traffic, with a rude hand gesture or two, wasn’t it a relief to get to the office?
The answer is a definite yes. It is found that most American people today think public rudeness is on the rise, and most see that as a “major problem.” Moreover, it’s getting worse. Last year, people reported encountering an average of 6.2 instances per week of evil behavior. This year, the number had shot up to 10.6.
The exception, it seems, is the workplace. More than 90% of us see companies offices as what is immune(免疫的) to social bad manners. Workplaces are getting more evil civil in many people’s eyes. The reported cases of office incivility this year declined to 0.29% -markedly lower than cases of running into rudeness online(39%) , while shopping, or while driving (also 39%).
第 9 页 / 共 11 页
Of course, less-than-polite driving or letting loose with an online conduct code is , after all, unlikely to cost anyone his next raise or promotion. However, being on one’s best behavior in any professional field is generally a common-sense career awareness for anyone seeking job development.
But there’s more to it. Trends in how companies operate seem to have the welcome effect of encouraging coworkers to play nice. CEOs, and managers at all levels, are now keen on cooperation. They are trying to build a ‘Best Places to Work’ culture, to attract the best available talents. This emphasis on co-working atmosphere really requires civil interactions between people.
Nonetheless, a significant number of employees believe there’s more to be done. Asked what changes they’d like to see, 62% hope that “civility training will be continued”, looking for bigger progress in the workplace manners.

Workplace is more polite than other public places in today’s America. People complain about the ever-worsening problem of public incivility. In contrast, the workplace is almost rudeness-free. Good workplace manners are partly out of self-interest for professional prospects. Companies’ focus on teamwork culture is also a reason. However, room for manner improvement in workplaces still exists according to many worker.
