 一卷 I. 阅读理解(每小题2分，满分30分) A In the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades. In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent. When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous for her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.” Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques. Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife- painting training center for them.” Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last1。

Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, gave birth to the cubs on July 15, 2013. Zoo officials followed Chinese custom and named the brothers after waiting 100 days. Until then, they were simply known as “Cub A〞 and “ Cub B〞.Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the first twin panda cubs to survive in the Unite States. “We’re delighted to finally be able to place two youngsters with names. They have not only made a mark on the history of Atlanta Zoo, but also have made history in the US,〞 Raymond B. King , the zoo’s president and CEO, said in a statement.Atlanta Zoo teamed up with Good Morning America that month to put the pandas’ names to a public vote. China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding provided the choices of names. In just 13 days, 51,000 votes poured in on the show’s website.Under a deal between China and the US, giant pandas originally from China are only lent to foreign zoos for scientific study for several years. Zookeepers at Atlanta Zoo are giving regular updates on the twins’ progress in an online blog. Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the fourth and fifth offspring(子女) of Lun Lun and a male giant panda named Yang Yang.The pandas made their first public appearance in a US exhibit last fall. For the three months before their appearance, the online world had watched the twins grow strong and healthy. “We share this joy with our colleagues(同事) in China and with the cub’s fans around the world,〞King said.25.

The names of the twin pandas were given by the public.CBuffet is the son of the best investor〔投资者〕Warren Buffet, and he's the CEO of a philanthropic foundation(慈善基金会). But he’s also a lifelong farmer. He is familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it’s not just farmers who know there’s a clock running on their efforts. “ We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount of time to affect change,〞 said Howard G. Buffett(HGB)HGB wants to invest more than ＄3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world’s nearly one billion poor people by 2045. He’s decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world. He believes that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. “It’s a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas,〞said HGB.Healthy soils are a most important part of productive farmers, but 1.5 billion people — afifth of the global population — live on poor land. 〞You have to fix the soil,〞 he said. HGB also has the idea that farmers who own their own land will raise crops with an eye to the long-term health of the soil.He would like to see that balanced with a foreign-aid plan. HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries.〞 It’s not going to happen like that,〞 said HGB. “You need to consider local differences, local culture.〞Many more ideas of HGB can be found in his new book, Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World.29. From the second paragraph, we can learn that HGB’s main purpose is_______.A. to invest lots of money in farmingB. to end hunger and povertyC. to change farming in the worldD. to help the poorest nations in the world.30. What’s the population of the whole world?A. 1.5 billionB. One fifth billionC. 6 billionD. 7.5 billion31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The farming methods in rich countries suit developing countries.B. HGB thinks agriculture of the west is not good at all.C. All the farming methods don’t suit developing countries.D. HGB gains his ideas from the book Forty Chances.32. What can be the best title for the passage?A. HGB invests to end hungerB. A great farmer, HGB.C. HGB, one son of Warren BuffetD. HGB invests in the developing countries.DClimate change will increase U.S wildfires, and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned, reports an environmental group Thursday.Two-thirds of Americans, or nearly 212 million, lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago, according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These areas, which had smoke for at least a week, were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.“It affects a much wider area of the United States than people have realized, 〞 says author Kim Knowlton, a ColumbiaUniversity health professor, adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles. She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of disease.Texas was hit hardest in 2011, when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people, according to NRDC’s report. Illinois, which recorded no wildfires within its borders( 边界) ,ranked (排名 ) second with nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere. The other eight states with the most people exposed (接触 ) to smoky air were, in descending ( 下降的) order: Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa.Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011, but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people exposed to at least a week of smoke that year, although five of them----Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah---had a large area burned by wildfires.The problem will only get worse, Knowlton say. Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health problems.33. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. most Americans suffered from climate change.B. the states burned by wildfires had more serious problems.C. most Americans suffered from wildfire smoke in 2011.D. Every state had wildfire smoke for at least a week.34. Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders?A. TexasB. Kansas.C. OhioD. California.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Climate change causes more wildfires.B. More wildfires cause climate change.C. Wildfire smoke becomes a serious health problem.D. Air pollution becomes a terrible problem.第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

In fact，a team from the universities of Florida and Nebraska says it has found a link between the Earth heating up and the size of mammals – horses，in this case.The scientists used fossils to follow the evolution of horses from their earliest appearance 56 million years ago。

As temperature went up，their size went down，and vice versa(反之亦然)；“At one point they were as small as a house cat，" said Dr Jonathan Bloch，curator（博物馆长) of the Florida Museum of Natural History, which was quoted by the "Daily Mail" as saying。

The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect on mammals and could even make humans smaller."Horses started out small，about the size of a small dog 。

People like them because they are interesting and useful.In London there is a TV programme called “Police Five”. It takes five minutes a week. A TV reporter talks about crimes(犯罪) in London. He asks people for help, because the police station needs their help.The TV reporter shows picture of lost painting, lost cars and other lost things during the week. Sometimes he shows the picture of the car that the thieves(贼) drove away. When people see the picture of such things on TV, they may remember something so that they may tell the police where or when they saw them. With their help the police may catch more thieves.Sometimes the police find a car or something expensive that has ever been lost, the TV reporter shows them on TV.

They say that the quality (质量) of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite (明确) answer.61. The best title for this passage is ___________.A. The Right to LiveB. The Right to DieC. The Doctor’s DutyD.

They were among the first people on the ship who were rescued by lifeboats. Cao’s one-year-old son was the youngest passenger on board.The “Liaoludu 7” was traveling in the Bohai Straits from Lvshun in Liaoning Province to the port city of Longkou in Shandong Province. It suddenly lost its power at 230 pm and tilted(倾斜) on its side. With 81 people on board, the ferry began to sink.“I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move forward. They kept shaking even when I was asked to jump on to a lifeboat,” Cao recalled.Upon receiving the mayday appeal (紧急呼救), China Marine Search and Rescue Centre immediately informed the State Council. The center sent eight lifeboats to the fishing boats.After more than four hours of fighting strong winds and freezing ocean water, the passengers were recovered. All but four survived.

She sewed many of my sisters’ clothes, including both of their wedding dresses and boy’s suits for me. And on the side, she won several national bridge tournaments(桥牌锦标赛).My mom left many indelible marks on me. The first was to never lose heart and to be independent. My dad died suddenly when I was 19. My mom worked hard for a couple of years. But in1975, I won a scholarship to study in Britain and my mom surprised us all by announcing that she decided to go with me. When I met difficulties, she always said: “You’re a man, so never lose heart, never be knocked down, and try your best to pursue(追求) your dreams.”My mom’s other big influence on me is a sense of optimis m. She had taken her knocks. But every time life knocked her down, she got up and kept on marching forward, encouraged by the saying that pessimists(悲观者) are usually right, optimists are usually wrong, but most great changes are made by optimists.How I wi sh to listen to my mother’s words, and give my best regards on this Mother’s Day, but I have no chance now!

The Greatest Happiness!CTo find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of disclosing and controlling more land, of expanding(扩展)trade beyond(超出) their borders and of spreading their faith(信仰) across the world .In 1535, Francois I ,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore(探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead or reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as theIndians called it. It was at this point that the term “ Canada” entered the country’s history. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “ village” Canada is!66.In the early sixteenth century , the King of France ordered Cartier to ______A. f ind the new worldB. b uild an entirely new countryC. g o and visit the American IndiansD. g et more information about America and find a way to Asia67.

If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here,it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “publish ed”, so other people can read them. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogsthe important tools for future business communications.71.
