第一部分选择题
一、阅读判断（第1—10题，共10分）
短文后列出10个句子，根据短文内容判断每个句子。A是正确，B是错误，C是文中未提及。
Farms Appear in Cities
When you he ar the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops. But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.
It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.
Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming（垂直农业）— can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather.
Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.
But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.
That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome —but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.
【参考译文】
农场出现在城市里（城中农场）
当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。
此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。
据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）可以解决此问题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。
尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物，把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。
但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。
并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。

二、阅读选择（第11～15题，每题2分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项。
A Good Lesson
After living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the United States. We all looked forward to this. What would people think of us? For me, I hoped to be the hero of the class.
I was not disappointed. All my classmates admired my experience, and I quickly became well known as “the French guy.” I was very popular for a time. However, I was not interested in many things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.
I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I had few friends, and fewer good friends. When I look back now, I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me. I kept talking proudly about my experience. And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.
I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were going to move again! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.
When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for five years. I did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe. I still listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself. Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.
Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well worth it.
【短文大意】
一个教训
在欧洲生活了七年以后，我父母决定搬到美国。我们都盼望着搬家，人们会怎样对待我们？我希望成为班里的英雄。
我没有失望。我的班里所有同学都羡慕我的经历，很快我以“法国男孩”著称。那一段时间我很受欢迎，然而我对班里同学做的许多事情都不感兴趣，很难融入他们之中。我喜欢听古典音乐，从不看电视，也几乎从不看电影。
因为我生长在欧洲，所以与我的朋友们背景不同。我没有几个朋友，好朋友更少。现在当我回顾往事，我意识到我对周围的人们有一点儿像个白痴一样，我总是高傲地谈到我的经历，并且我认为我比我周围的人都好，因为我曾生活在欧洲但他们没有。
当我的父母说我们要再次搬家时，我决定我要有更好的朋友。我看到交好朋友的机会，因为那个地方的人对我的过去并不了解。
我们搬到了加利福尼亚时，我没有像过去五年那样炫耀。我仍然听古典音乐，但是我只是自己欣赏。的确，我发现人们喜欢那种独特的但不夸耀的人。
什么也不能替代好朋友，如果为此不得不控制自己的脾气和傲慢，这也是值得的。

阅读选择题的应试技巧
短文阅读主要测试考生对阅读的书面材料理解的程度，既可以为外语学习者提供运用语言知识、文化背景知识，又可以巩固所学语言知识技能、提高英语水平。所以是外语学习者必须掌握的基本技能，也是各种英语考试的重点内容。因此，阅读部分考试成绩的优劣在整个考试中起着举足轻重的作用，所以考生在备考的过程中必须加以重视。
阅读理解是对字、词、句法的进一步学习和综合运用。要提高阅读能力，除了掌握的基本语法规则知识外，还要进行有意识的阅读训练。提高阅读能力的训练主要可以从下面三个方面入手：词汇、方法、侧重点。
1）词汇
在阅读过程中，不可避免地会碰到不认识的单词，考试中又不允许查字典，有些不认识的单词对文章的理解影响不大，可以忽略。但有些不认识的单词则会影响阅读者对文章理解的正确性。在这种情况下，就需要利用猜字的技巧猜出词的含义。
快速阅读的CPD公式 Context, Parts, Dictionary
每日学习词汇 study vocabulary daily
使用所学词汇 use the words you learn
创立你自己的词汇表 create your own word list
2）方法
方法一：先看文章后做题。主要针对简单易懂的文章、时间又较充裕的情况。
方法二：先看问题后再读文章再做题。这种方法在时间紧、文章长的情况下更为实用。这样可以带着问题去阅读，文章中的内容与考题有关系时仔细阅读，与题目无关时，可以置之不理，很快跳过去。还有一些题目涉及一般常识或科普知识，可以在未阅读文章之前自己先行判断，在阅读时只要对自己的判断进行验证就可以了。
3）三个侧重点
除了题目本身所要求查找的细节外，阅读时要注意不要逐字逐句地翻译，而要侧重地阅读。
侧重首段、尾段，首句、尾句。因为这些部分往往是作者所要谈及的论点、主题或中心思想，抓住了主干，那么细节问题就会迎刃而解。
侧重语篇标志词。语篇中句子和句子之间、段落和段落之间就是通过这种词语连接起来的，把握住这些词语就等于把握了句与句、段与段之间的关系，对于获取所需信息、准确答题至关重要。
侧重长句、难句。因为英语表达多以冗长著称，论理性很强的文章更是如此。通过较长的句子来表达复杂的思想内容，从而使文章更具有说服力。所以，我们在阅读时，必须重视长句、难句，认真分析句子，把握住关键点。事实上，不少问题就是针对这些长句、难句而设置的。
以上是归纳出的几点解英语阅读选择题目的技巧。考生在训练中应尽快掌握这些技巧，并在实践中摸索出一套适合自己的方法。
第二部分非选择题
三、概括段落大意和补全句子（第16～25题，每题1分，共10分）

保护少数（保护稀少物种）
我们如何生活会影响环境。环境就是我们周围所有的事物。在地球上，人类正在以大大小小的方面改变环境。
我们砍伐树木建造房屋，耕地种庄稼，把垃圾倾入河流、湖泊和海洋。我们张开大网和较大的渔船去捕捞大量的鱼类。类似这样的行为活动影响植物和动物，也影响像土壤和水等事物。
有的时候我们的行动使得某些植物和动物的数量增加。例如，如果你在你的院子里种植玫瑰花，那么在你的周
围就会存在很多玫瑰。
我们的行为也能够导致植物和动物的数量减少。如果一个公园变成一个公寓楼，那么那些植物和动物会怎样呢？它们可能或者死去或者被移动到其他地方，这样就会使植物和动物减少。
污染和其他活动有时候引起某一个物种的数量变得如此之少，以至于该物种不能生存。一个处于消亡危险的物
种被称之为濒危物种。

语言的力量
语言是某物将我们定义为人类。当语言使用得当，它能对其他人产生深深的情感，并且鼓励其他人采取行动。有时候，一首诗歌中的语句能使我们热泪盈眶、深深地感动我们。当我们用语言表达对某人的真实感受，它可以敞开心扉并且加深我们之间的关系。
语言是强有力的工具。我们如何使用语言塑造我们的世界；我们如何利用自我对话直接地形成我们和世界两者的经历；我们如何传递交流沟通造就世界对我们反响的方式。我们能够更加有效地利用语言，此举显然影响到我们的健康和个人的关系以及工作关系的能力。

试题短文写作部分为一个小题，总计30分，要求考生写一篇100词左右的短文。试卷已经给出题目，考生应依据内容的要求进行写作。
短文写作的一般要求为：能够理解所给出的语言情境，能够运用相关的语言知识完成所规定的写作任务。能正确表达思想，内容基本清晰完整，语言基本通顺，意义连贯，无重大语言错误，用词基本恰当，符合文章的特定文体格式。
写作评分的标准简述：
评分标准分为五个档次。首先根据短文书写的总体质量，而不是按照语言错误的数量扣分。打分时，根据所写内容要点、篇章结构和语言运用初步确定其所属的档次，然后再具体给分。拼写、标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，字数明显不足分数要降低一个档次，书写质量较差也要降低一个档次。英、美拼写皆可接受。
评分的标准五档（详见教学大纲）
写作应试策略：
写作内容涉及生活、一般常识和私人信件，体裁包括记叙文、说明文、描写文、议论文、应用文等。依据近年来成人考试的考题分析，英语短文写作趋势以应用文类型为主。试题皆为命题写作，限定内容，加以拓展。
写作相对来讲是比较难的题目，但是因为题目已经给出规定内容和要求，只要翻译准确即可。不要求文字的华丽。经过组织段落之后，短文字数也要尽量写够100词。
短文写作的最根本的基础是词汇量，掌握了一定量的词汇（words），还要有语法知识，才能把词汇写成句子（sentence），应注意英文写作表达方式和格式与汉语的不同之处，尽量避免写病句。句子是短文写作的重要组成部分，将句子安排顺序组织成段落（paragraph），这就是短文（composition）的构成。
短文写作，没什么捷径可走，必须多练，熟能生巧。建议大家每星期至少写一篇英语小短文，并在每一篇中尽量换一个新话题，使用已经学到的词汇、词组、句型和句式。这样既可以强化记忆单词，同时也可以实践语法的正确使用，尝试自己是否可以驾御写作英文短文。在实践中，将母语与英语渐渐的融为一体，发展自己的写作风格。
下面就以2013年的考试题目为例，写出一篇小短文，仅供参考。
My Favorite Job
I have had a variety of part-time and full-time jobs, some interesting and some dull. I’ve worked in an office, a grocery store, a factory, and countless other places. After I graduated from college, I became a teacher. I definitely prefer teaching to any of the other jobs. I am a people-person and especially enjoy the interaction with the students. I also feel very fulfilled when I see the students make progress. I greatly enjoy preparing the lessons and try to create activities that are both practical and fun. While I’m glad I gained much practical experience at my other jobs, I realize that I am most fulfilled as a teacher.

(10 points) Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight fluctuations. 1 , when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it 2 . As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active to focusing 3 on the scale. That was bad to my overall fitness goals. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass, but thinking only of 4 the number on the scale, I altered my training program. That conflicted with how I needed to train to 5 my goals. I also found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate 6 of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice any significant changes in your weight 7 altering your training program. The most 8 changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. For these 9 , I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule 10 . Since weight loss is not my goal, it is less important for me to 11 my weight each week. Weighing every other week allows me to observe and 12 any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to 13 my training program. I use my bimonthly weigh-in 14 to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly 15 and dropping weight, this is a 16 that I need to increase my daily caloric intake. The 17 to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health, fitness and well-being. I’m experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a 18 morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, 19 I’m trai ning according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases.

Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）
