“ The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer,
Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.
After the accident of falling from the 18th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands
were frozen and my spinal cord ( 脊髓)was seriously injured. All the d octors and professors in the
famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover
(康复).
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises , I could not make any more
progress for over a year . What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression ( 绝望).On top of this , I
suffered from insomnia , making every minute of the light seem to last forever. Hopelessly , mom
and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.
At that time , I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be
loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got
from my parents and many nice people . Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy
person ! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I
don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more , I even
have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my
blogs( 博客) , many people get to know me and like can bring happiness to them. I can help those
who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am

living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive , there is always hope and possibilities.
It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams. (382 words)

Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new coun try? Patri Friedman is
planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream
is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean.
So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner ( 游轮), but much
larger, with shops , gyms , swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact , the early seasteads may
actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become
more like floating cities, with several hundred people.
Seasteading raises a lot of questions . First of all , how will the new countries make money? The
Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme
parks, casinos ( 赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons
and pirates( 海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand
bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems.
So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He
founded PayPal and was one of the fir st investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far , he’s donated

$ 500,000 to the project.
And Friedman isn’t wasting any time . He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award.
This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in
2015.
42. Where did Friedman use to work?
A. In Facebook.
B. In Seastead Institute . C. In PayPal.
D. In Google.
43. A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________.
A. a cruise liner
B. a floating city
C. a theme park
D. a fishing farm
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Friedman is planning to move to a new country. B. Friedman is worried about the safety of
seasteads.
C. Friedman has got some supporters for his project. D. Friedman has already won the
Poseidon Award.
of the following can be the best titles of this passage?
A. Seasteading: a new idea of living
B. Seasteading : a wild way of farming
C. Peter Thiel : a man behind the project
D. Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer

请认真阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填入适当的单词(注意：每空 1 个单词)。 CCTV cameras watch action
In UK , Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do . They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.
One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of sudden , she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pickup Lola and drops her into a large dustbin . Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal . She was fined ( 罚款)￡250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years.
Another video shows “ Britain’s drunkest man” . He’s been at a party at London’s Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a. m. , he was kicked out for being too drunk . So, he decided to walk home. On the way , CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly… A Savoy Hotel waiter said, “ It’s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly.”
Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn’t have any money to make a music video. So , they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments ( 乐器) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cam eras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act , they asked for a copy of all the footages ( 视频) , which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them a penny.

八、书面表达（满分 20 分） Is it OK to tell white lies?
Last week our class had a discussion on whether it is OK to tell white lies . The students have different opinions.
Some think it is all right to do so out of kindness. Besides , white lies can often help people get on well with each other. Sometimes , they may make one confident.
However, many others take telling lies very seriously. They insist that white lies are lies after all. They do harm to friendship. What’s worse, lies never go far.
In my opinion, I have to admit that all people lie at times. As long ass we’re true to each other, lies , whatever kinds they are , won’t stand in our way. (94 words)
