In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem(定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.
The outbreak is unprecedented（空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn’t appear to be slowing down.

The Ebola virus is terrifying no matter where it strikes: It’s a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea（腹泻）, vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.
It is understandable for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn’t be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.
This is because transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person’s blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious（接触传染的）. It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.
Media outlets in the US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.
James Ball at The Guardian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep a sense of proportion. Other infectious diseases, including commoninfluenza, are far, far deadlier.
35. What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa?
A. It has caused thousands of African deaths. B. The fight against it is slowing down . C. It has already traveled to the US and the UK. D. Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination. 36. The Ebola virus is terrifying because___________.
A. it cannot be cured at the moment B. it is easily infected
C .it spreads faster than any other infectious disease D. it has caused more deaths than other infectious diseases 37. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means
A. keep a secret B. stay calm away from it
38. What is the author's attitude towards people's panic?
A. Objective. Understandable.

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so

they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.
The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car anymore because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.
To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 39. The American teens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because ___.
A. they are bored with driving cars B. they are fond of being connected C. it is most fashionable and cool D. it is much cheaper than a car 40. We can learn from the text that _______.
A. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other B. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals C. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology D. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother 41. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.
A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession C. being connected via technology comes first for young people D. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter 42. The best title for the passage is probably _______.
A. Twitter, an Awesome Website C. Cool Teens on the Go
D

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.
The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.
They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic（超声波的） range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.
The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.
“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.
“Our results imply Foxp2 as a component (成分)of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.” 47. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. women always speak more words than men
B. men and male rats have low levels of language protein C. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative D. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2
48 The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.
A. related to counted on
49. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.
A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans
- 8 -
B. paid attention to C. put pressure on D.
B. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different C. discover the association between Foxp2 protein and vocal communication D. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats 50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Why women are the talkative sex C. Sex differences in Foxp2 protein ability

Should ads be allowed on school buses?
In 11 states across the country, school buses are now doing more than just transporting students. They’re also serving as rolling billboards. These school buses carry advertisements on the outside. Restaurants, insurance companies, banks, and other businesses pay for the ads, hoping to attract more customers. And it’s a way for the school to make money as they face deep budget cuts.
“We’ve seen a lot of income generated by the ads,” Devra Ashby told TFK. She is the spokesperson for School District 11 Colorado Springs, Colorado. She is also the mother of a third grader. “With the school budget cuts we’ve experienced, we look at any way that can bring money into the schools.” Last year, District 11 made more than $15,000 from school-bus ads.
In addition to Colorado, states such as Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas allow ads on the outside of their school buses. The idea appears to be catching on. In Georgia, some school-district leaders are suggesting putting ads on their buses too.
School districts need to ensure that the ads are appropriate for kids, according to Michael Beauchamp, chief executive officer of Alpha Media. This company works with businesses in several states to create ads for school buses. “The districts won’t allow ads for things like beer, cigarettes, or politics.” Beauchamp told TFK.
But everyone isn’t in favor of school buses having ads on the outside. That includes Georgia’s Department of Education. Spokeswoman Dorie Nolt told TFK. “We strongly believe that advertising on the outside of school buses distracts drivers and children.”
Parents are divided on the issue. “I don’t think the ads are a distraction,” said Glenn Herdling of River Vale, New Jersey. His son is in second grade. “And if they can bring in money for the schools and help save some programs, that’s fantastic .”
Cindy Tomarchio of East Windsor, New Jersey, feels differently. “I know the schools can use the money, but kids already see enough advertising.” She said. 56.

Thanks. Li Hua 书面表达（共35分） Dear Editor，
I am Li Hua，a senior high school student from Grade 3. I am writing to discuss the traffic problem near our school gate.
With so many parents coming to pick up their children，traffic jams are frequent near the school gate，causing a lot of inconvenience to us.
In order to avoid traffic jams，I strongly recommend some effective measures be taken. First，we should encourage students to ride a bicycle or walk to school instead of taking a car，which not only avoids traffic jams，but also builds up students' health. Besides，cars should not be allowed to park in front of the school gate. I do hope my suggestions will be considered and the problem can disappear soon. Yours，
Li Hua
