His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does readi ng the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he wentto get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.” The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.

Reading for Total ChangingCThe Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produ ced by smallworkshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said. To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.9. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.A. fake cell-phoneB. electronic productsC. Spring Festival GalaD. Olympic buildings10. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.A. the action that a person imitates(模仿) famous peopleB. products with poor techniques and qualityC. anything that imitates something famousD. those similar names to famous brands(品牌)11. We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.A. is held back by “Shanzhai” cultureB. is the c hallenge of “Shanzhai” cultureC. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” cultureD. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture12. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. “Shanzhai” culture will definite ly(注定地) disappearB. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its ownC. “Shanzhai” culture — the mainstream cultureD. “Shanzhai” culture — the mountain village cultureDPeople realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high nervous. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient and understanding.The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.13. Dogs who help blind people must learn .A. to obey all ordersB. to obey only safe ordersC. never to cross roadsD. to cross road when ordered to do so14. Race horses are hard to train because they are .A. faster than other horsesB. smaller than other horsesC. clever than other horseD. more nervous than other horses15. What does “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?A. place something to attract the animalB. give the animal a certain taskC. order the animal to do thingsD. follow the animal to hunt第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

This year's performances include Wagner's “The Flying Dutchman” and Verdi's “King for a Day”, in honor of the 200th birthdays of both composers (作曲家).Tickets start at $26. .11.

Jacob's Pillow Dance FestivalB. the Glimmerglass FestivalC. Cheyenne Frontier DaysD. Moab Music FestivalBImagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie’s jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!14. The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.A. coachB. teammateC. challengerD. record holder15. What can we learn about the spittlebug?A. It likes living on the ceiling.B. It is good at flying in the air.C. It is the same length as a pencil.D. It has a wonderful jumping talent.16. In the author’s opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug’s jumping abilities are _____.A. surprisingB. promisingC. doubtfulD. fearful17. How does the author develop the text?A. By giving instructions.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.CReach for the stars at the Euro Space Center.

There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint”the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant（）instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.22. The first paragraph serves as a(n) _____.A. argumentB. commentC. explanationD. background23. When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?A. Guide them to a safer place.B. Remind drivers to drive slowly.C. Frighten them away from the road.D. Advise drivers to choose another way.24. From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can _____.A. provide heat for drivers in winterB. guide drivers who get lost on the highwayC. melt snow and ice soon in winterD. help drivers see the road clearly in the sun25. What is the text mainly about?A. Functions of the road in the future.B. Development of solar energy.C. Free energy on the road.D. Solar road of the future.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分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佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
