It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take his family2.The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A.a friend of his familyB.a Sydney policemanC.a letter in his papesD.a stranger in Sydney3.What does the underlined word“restored”in the last paragraph mean?A.ShowedB.Sent outC.DeliveredD.Gave back4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.From India to Australia.B.Living in a a New Country.C.Turning Trash to Treasure.D.In Search of New Friends.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970,American have gotten a lot “greenter” toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many ,many times,”says Gaylord Nelson,the fromer govermor from Wisconsin,who thought up the firstAccording to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices .Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ,; today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson .5 According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A the social movementB recycling techniquesC environmental problemsD the importance of \Earth Day6 Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A The grass –roots levelB The business circleC Government officialsD University professors7 What have \Americans achieved in environmental protection ?A They have cut car emissions to the lowestB They have settled their environmental problemsC They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D They have reduced pollution through effective measures .8.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last pargraph ?A EducationB PlanningC Green livingD CO reductionCOne of the latest trend(趋势) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.”she says. “Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,”says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.”But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9.What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.10. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up wit other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture11. What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B. Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

故选B。
【解析】根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,那位女孩的父母是在一封写了一半的信里发现作者丈夫留给朋友的新电话号码的。
故选C。
23.【答案】D【解析】根据“not only...but also...”所连接的“restore”后面的宾语,并结合上文可知,小女孩一家人把那些重要的文件还给了作者的丈夫,所以此处应选D项,意为“恢复”。
24.【答案】C【解析】文章主要讲述了作者的丈夫丢失的重要文件被人扔在垃圾箱里面,然后又被一家好心人捡到重新归还给作者的丈夫的故事,这使作者的丈夫又重拾了对人性的信任。
作者丈夫的这些东西之所以能够失而复得离不开垃圾箱这一线索。
因此C项做标题最恰当。

25.【答案】C【解析】根据文章第一段可知,在1970年以前人们不知道什么是“环境”,更不知道环境问题。
故选C。
26.【答案】A细节理解题。
难度中等。
【解析】根据第二段第二句可知,文中的“millions of”与题干中的“mainly”相符,所以对环保的支持主要来自美国的草根民众。
故选A。
27【答案】D【解析】根据倒数第二段尤其是该段最后一句内容可知,美国通过采取有效的措施大大降低了污染。
C项干扰性很强,但是与原文第三段第二句“The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.”不符,原文意思是说CO超标的城市数量从40个减少到9个。

passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half﹣written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.21.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take his

alone that there was a problem with it,"says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass﹣roots Americans are taking part in the movement."The understanding has increased many,many times,"says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first.According to US government reports,emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3million tons a year to 5.5tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of"Green thinking"has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs;today in 1995there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty﹣five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it's hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program."Until we do that,nothing else willchange!"say Bruce Anderson.25.According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea aboutA.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day26.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass﹣roots levelB.The business circleC.Government officialsD.University professors27.What have\Americans achieved in environmental protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowestB.They have settled their environmental problemsC.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A.EducationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reduction.29.(6分)One of the latest trend(趋势)in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford,for example,has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000since 2004.And that's true all across the country."I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age"Joseph Stocke,the managing director of s company,says of his 2﹣year old son."I would at least liketo give him the chance to use the language in the future,"After only six months of being cared by 25﹣year﹣old woman from China,the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions,his dad says.Li Drake,a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband,had another reason for looking for an au pair from China.She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots."Because I am Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture."she says."Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,"says Suzanne Flynn,a professor in language education of Children."But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders.Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10or 12." The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29.What does that term"au pair"in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her ownB.A child learning a foreign language at homeC.A professor in language education of childrenD.A young foreign woman taking care of children.30.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them.A.to live in China some dayB.to speak the language at homeC.to catch up wit other childrenD.to learn about the Chinese culture31.What can we infer from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B.Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.32.(8分)Metro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger

Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremelyworried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half﹣written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.21.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take his family22.The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from.A.a friend of his familyB.a Sydney policemanC.a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney23.What does the underlined word"restored"in the

Treasure.D.In Search of New Friends.25.(8分)Since the first Earth Day in 1970,American have gotten a lot"greener"toward the environment."We didn't know at that time there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,"says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass﹣roots Americans are taking part in the movement."The understanding has increased many,many times,"says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first.According to US government reports,emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3million tons a year to 5.5tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of"Green thinking"has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs;today in 1995there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty﹣five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it's hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program."Until we do that,nothing else willchange!"say Bruce Anderson.25.According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea aboutA.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day26.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass﹣roots levelB.The business circleC.Government officialsD.University professors27.What have\Americans achieved in environmental protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowestB.They have settled their environmental problemsC.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A.EducationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reduction.29.(6分)One of the latest trend(趋势)in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford,for example,has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000since 2004.And that's true all across the country."I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age"Joseph Stocke,the managing director of s company,says of his 2﹣year old son."I would at least liketo give him the chance to use the language in the future,"After only six months of being cared by 25﹣year﹣old woman from China,the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions,his dad says.Li Drake,a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband,had another reason for looking for an au pair from China.She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots."Because I am Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture."she says."Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,"says Suzanne Flynn,a professor in language education of Children."But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders.Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10or 12." The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29.What does that term"au pair"in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her ownB.A child learning a foreign language at homeC.A professor in language education of childrenD.A young foreign woman taking care of children.30.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them.A.to live in China some dayB.to speak the language at homeC.to catch up wit other childrenD.to learn about the Chinese culture31.What can we infer from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B.Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.32.(8分)Metro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger

three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability,money and time,(36)Money is a topic I'll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:①Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat.So think about of the coming week.When will you have time to cook?Do you have the right materials ready?(37)②Make your time worth it.When you do find time to cook a meal,make the most ofit and save yourself time later on.Are you making one loaf of bread?(38)it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.So save yourself the effort for a future meal.③(39)This may surprise you,but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.The more you learn and the more you try,the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start.(40)and don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.Try new things.B.Ability is easily improved.C.Make three or four instead.D.Understand your food better.E.Cooking is a burden for many people.F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每题1.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.41.(30分)Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula

AArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 【B】21. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shopping.B. Find a house.C. Join his family.D.

In Search of New FriendsBSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots. Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.【C】25. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about _______.A. the social movementB. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day【A】26.

What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B. They have settled their environmental problems.C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.【A】28. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?cation.B. Planning.C. Green living.D. CO reduction.COne of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触)the language and culture,” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. “But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.【D】29. What does the term “au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her own.B.

Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them _______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up with other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture 【A】31.
