Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and﹣most important ﹣sit in air conditioning．In those days，you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies．Then，the theater would show the same two movies again．If you wanted to，you could sit through them twice．Most people did not do that，but the manager at our theater．Mr．Bellow did not mind if you did．
That particular day，my brother and I sat through both movies twice，trying to escape the heat．We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each．Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance．We'd already seen the second movie once before．It had been at the theater since January，because Mr．Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it．
We left the theater around 8，just before the evening shows began．But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again，twice more．And we did it the next day too．Finally，on the fourth day，the heat wave broke．
Still，to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962．They're really memories of the screen，not memories of my life．

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father．He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth．They said"yes，"but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry．He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed．
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer，for 99to199，developing on features．The U．S．is the first target market．

17．（8分）The kids in this village wear dirty，ragged clothes．They sleep beside cows
and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud．They have no school．Yet they all can chant the English alphabet，and some can make words．
The key to their success：20tablet computers（平板电脑）dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U．S．group called One Laptop Per Child．
The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist．The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they're already amazed．"What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten，"said Matt Keller，who runs the Ethiopia program．
The fastest learner﹣and the first to turn on one of the tablets﹣is 8﹣year﹣old Kelbesa Negusse．The device's camera was disabled to save memory，yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work．He called himself a lion，a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia．
With his tablet，Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows．Then he spelled words on his own．"Seven months ago he didn't know any English．That's unbelievable，"said Keller．
The project aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading，"where they can read to learn．It won't be in Amharic，Ethiopia's first language，but in English，which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs．

A．To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．
B．To make Amharic widely used in the world．
C．To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．
D．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．
第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）
第一节：阅读表达（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）
19．（15分）阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）．
[1]Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one，and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers．The result is overcrowding on the road system，which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with．
[2]When people travel to other towns，the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK．At Southerton，for example，a council﹣funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months．
[3]What the council found，though，was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre．Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade．As the number of people driving past dropped，so did their incomes．
[4]Making car driving expensive is another way of．Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less．Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind．
[5]However，one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed．If we expect people to give up the habit of driving，we must give them an alternative they can rely on．Constant delays，unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport．People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time．
66．What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1？（no more than 12words）
67．What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects？（no more than 10words）
68．Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project？（no more than 10words）
69．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4．（no more than 8words）
70．Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5？（no more than 8words）．

【解答】答案：
11 C 名词词义辨析根据下文提到的"The man"以及"my wife"可知，这里指的应是一对夫妻来到了这家宠物店；故选C
12 A 名词词义辨析根据下文"…my wife．It said she was ugly我的妻子，它说她很丑"可知，这里鹦鹉说的应是"你的妻子真地很丑"；故选A
13 D 形容词词义辨析根据上文鹦鹉说了他的妻子真地很丑可以猜出，这个人应该很生气；故选D
14 C 动词词义辨析结合上文可知，鹦鹉评论他的妻子很丑，这应是对他妻子的冒犯；C．offended 得罪，冒犯；D．scared 使害怕；故选C
15 B 动词词义辨析根据上文店老板听到顾客告状，于是冲了过来以及下文took it into the"black room"：把它关进"黑屋子"可知，此处应该是店老板抓住了鹦鹉；A．拥抱；B．抓住；C．训练；D．营救；故选B
16 C 动词词义辨析根据上文店老板抓住鹦鹉并使劲晃它可知，此处应表示鹦鹉被拔掉几根羽毛；A．派送；B．分发；C．拔掉，抽出；D．挖出；故选C 17 D 动词词义辨析根据上文那位顾客对店老板说的话"Your bird just （14）offended my wife．It said she was ugly．你的鸟刚刚冒犯了我的妻子，它说她真地很丑"可知，当时那两位顾客一定会很尴尬；故此处应是老板警告鹦鹉以后绝对不能再说使顾客尴尬的话了；故选D
18 A 名词词义辨析根据上文作老板对鹦鹉训斥话可知，此处应指老板一边警告着鹦鹉一边把它放回笼子里；A．警告；B．评价，评论；C．建议；D．要求；选A
19 B 名词词义辨析根据上文提到"（15）seized the bird…shook it a bit，（16）pulled out a few feathers"店老板抓住鸟…使劲晃它，拔掉了几根羽毛，可知这里指他把鸟放回笼子，鸟抖了抖羽毛；故选B
