She is not always able to fit herself into theater or restaurant seats, or into train or airplane seats. She has to go specialty(特制品) stores to buy clothes. All of this makes Beth Marinelli very angry. But what angers her most is New Jersey’s mandatory(强制性的) seat belt law.New Jersey drivers and front seat passengers are required by law to wear seat belts. The problem for Beth Marinelli is that carmakers don’t make seat belts large enough for obese people. As a result, people with weight problems are not required to buckle up(扣上安全带) like everybody else. “Statistics (统计数字) show how much safer it is to be in an accident while wearing a seat belt," says Marinelli. “The lawmakers are saying that if you're fat, you can be free from wearing a seat belt --that it’s OK to die in a car accident.”Social discrimination(歧视) against the very fat people is very strong, according to Marinelli. She left high school because of constant teasing（取笑）about her weight. But the cruel jokes and comments didn’t end with her youth. She was forced to work as a cook at her brother’s fast food restaurant because her weight discourages employers from hiring her.One day Marinclli wants to write a book about her life. She’ll call it “Growing Up Fat in America.” She wants to warn young people who are overweight about what’s in store for them, and encourage them to lose weight. “If one 10-year-old fat kid listens to me and says, ‘I don’t want to go through that’, then I’ve succeeded.”46. According to the passage, which is not one of the difficulties the fat people face?A. The one that they felt it hard to fit themselves into the theater chairs.B. The one that they felt it hard to find a job.C. The one that they felt it hard to marry.D. Discrimination47. According to the passage, the underlined word “obese” refers to_____A. very fatB. foolishC. good-tempered D bad-tempered48. Which statement is Not true according to the passage?A. She left school because she was laughed at by others.B. She has to be a cook because her weight prevents her from being employed.C. She was still laughed at even though she already left school.D. She was teased even though she lost weight. .49. She wrote a book in order to _______.A. encourage them to take more physical exercisesB. warn young people of the harm of overweightC. prevent her 10-year-old kid from getting weightD. both A and BBIt had been a difficult decade (十年), the eighties.

In 1987 the government had closed down(关闭) the public bus service and many railway lines, so that cars and trucks were coming into central London at the rate of 200 000 a day.Early in 1984 , the government had stopped the construction of the Thames Flood Barrier and there was no money to maintain (维修) and check the flood warning alarms along the banks of the Thames.It had been a lovely summer, the summer of 1989. The long sun-soaked days seemed to go on forever. The autumn was good too, with the best grain harvest for 25 years.Then winter came. It was the worst winter for 50 years. The snowstorm started in the middle of January and snow fell continuously for over a month. At the beginning of March the snow began to melt. It rained non-stop for six days and people began to gather on the banks of the Thames as the level of the river grew higher and higher.On the night of March 7, a northerly gale(大风) began to send a huge waves of tidal water right into the mouth of the Thames just as the river was running high.People of London were used to the misfortune. They accepted the bad weather, and even the three-month-old railway strike. Good times, they said, must be just round the corner At 8:50, the nest morning, the Thames burst its banks. By 9:00 a.m. water covered 9,5 square kilometers of central London. Twenty thousands people either drowned or were injured by falling buildings. By 9:15 a.m. London was drowning.50.

9）一、阅读理解There is an agreement that we are depriving（剥夺） this current generation of young kids a chance to do what they are not only equipped to do, but need to do – take some risks. And we're not talking about unimportant ones, either. Kids need to learn how to handle “dangerous” things like power tools, make fires, and derive the benefits that occur from “playing with knives。

”Hanna Rosi n focuses on some of the misguided reasons we are raising “The Overprotected Kid” in the Atlantic. She details our concerns with kids' safety that goes beyond the actual risks.In principle, I agree with this emerging perspective. For many kids growing up today, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to practice risk taking。

He ran into the house to 58_ me."You won’t believe that the 59 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we 60 to feed on," he said, "but they also want their children to 61 in a cradle of gold!"When my daughter came over on the eve of the 62 , we told her about this 63_ occurrence."Don’t you remember, Mother?" she said with a loud 64 . "When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I 65 a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!"As the bracelet no longer 66 its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized (受洗礼). Among the 67 the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet,now shining like 68 . I hope that if my grandson 69 loses it, one of the 70 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.51.

Between February 21 and March 4, carnival hits the streets.For most people, carnival means large parties and feasting. But in Venice, it also means traditional masks and clothes.These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities. Then, different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.Along the waterways, people greeted each other with: "Good morning Mrs. Mask!" Today, people in Venice still dress up in the strangest of ways — as armed soldiers, butchers and fishermen, for example.Bars and cafes are filled with party-goers who come to show off their beautiful clothes. Their designs and creations are made by special studios. Ready-made costumes are not acceptable."In the months before the carnival we work overtime to meet the demand," said a mask-maker. "Many kilometers of silk and lace (花边) are made into costumes. For shopkeepers, carnival is the best time of year."The Venice carnival dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, the city was one of the wealthiest in Europe.The tradition of celebrating with masks and costumes is thought to have been started by the "Stocking Companies". These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals and wore colourful stockings to distinguish (区分) themselves.By the 18th century, the carnival had reached its top. It all came to an end when Napoleon controlled Venice in 1797. But in 1979, local people brought the old traditions back to life.Now the Venice carnival attracts huge crowds from all over the world. This year, about 700,000 people are taking part. Hotels were fully booked months in advance, and bars and restaurants overflow every day.The city certainly benefits - a whole industry has been built up around the carnival's masks and clothes."The Venice carnival is a magical time! It's such a great experience," said one French tourist.71. What might you infer from the article?A. People in Venice like to party.B. Venice was a happy city.C. There used to be strong feelings of social class in Venice.D. Venice was a city of silk and lace.72. When was the carnival the biggest?A. In the middle ages.B. In the 18th centuryC. In 1797.D. In 1979.73. Who started the tradition of wearing masks and costumes?A. NapoleonB. Young menC. The hotel industryD. The silk and lace makers74. Why do the shopkeepers like the carnival time?A. Because they can make many different kinds of masks.B. Because the city is a "sea of happiness."C. Because many people from all over the world come to Venice.D. Because they can make a lot of money during this time.75. What would be the best title for this selection?A. How the carnival is celebrated in Venice.B. The story of how the carnival began in Venice.C. The history of the carnival in Venice.D. What to see and do during the carnival time in Venice.BXu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to Japan with his parents during the Spring Festival."Overseas touring has always been a dream for me," he said happily.Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three "Golden Week Holidays" (the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration. The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes.By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular."More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland," said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. "Sooner or later, there will be a peak (高峰) in European tours."Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers' Association (CCA,中国消费者协会) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster."Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency," said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations (名声) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.Zhang's association dealt with more than 5,000 complaints about travel agencies last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts (合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance (保险).76. How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people aretraveling abroad more today?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.77. According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face whengoing overseas?A. Choosing the best travel agent.B. Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.C. Traveling to EuropeD. Cost78. According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing abadtravel agency?A. People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.B. People spend more money than they had planned to.C. People go to different places than they had planned to.D. People complain more than they had planned to.79. The underlined part "random changes" probably means that _____A. the traveler agreed with the changes.B. the travel agency didn't make any changes.C. the travel agency refused to changes the routes.D. the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.80. What would be a good title for this passage?A. Xu Hui's Vacation in JapanB. The job of the National Tourism AdministrationC. Where Young Chinese Travelers GoD. Suggestions for the Chinese Traveler IV、对话填词：阅读下面对话，掌握其大意，并根据所给首字母的提示，在标有题号的右边横线上写出一个英语单词的完整、正确形式，使对话通顺。

Other people believe wolves Must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderndss(荒野)For Killing WolvesIn Alaska，the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago，because hunters were killing hundreds 0f them for sport .However．1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur．So the woIf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply．A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food．Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life．When the deer can’t find enough food，they die．If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer，their prey(猎物)will disappear some day．And the wolves will．too．So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology．If we killed more wolves，we would save them and their prey from dying out．We’d also save some farm animals．In another northern state，wolves attack cows and chickens for food．Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small woIf population．Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the“big bad woIf'＂will not disappear．But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young．or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived．And has always been a law of natureAlthough some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense!Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population frombecoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used bv people．Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．1．According to the passage，some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that ．A．there are too many wolves B．they kill large numbers deerC．they attack cows and chickens for food D．they destroy the wilderness plant life 2．Some people are against killing wolves because ．A．wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildemessB．there is too small a wolf population in the wildernessC．there are too many deer in the wildernessD．wolves are afraid of people and never attack people3．According to those against killing wolves，when wolves eat other animals，．A．they never eat strong and healthy onesB．they always go against the law of natureC．they might help this kind of animals survive in natureD．they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness4．The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases ．A．farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped awayB．woIves will kill people and people will in turn kill themC．wolves wilI find enough food sources on famlsD．people will leave the areas where wolves can liveDACB四. 任务型阅读Robot revolutionThe day that a robot wakes you up, cleans your room and walks your dog might still be a few decades off. But increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to make the leap from the factory floor to your family room.Companies like Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Productslike the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves. On the cover of a recent issue of Scientific American magazine, Bill Gates predicted the “Dawn of the Age of Robots”.What’s behind this new era (时代)? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. They are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy efficient.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day Robert Adler invented the television remote control in the 1950s, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier.Also take into consideration the increasing wealth of rich people, the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives.To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still too complex for our present engineering abilities. Today’s robot revolution is to make them for everyday use. Robots will do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening, or just help you have more fun on the basketball court.What makes a robot different from an ordinary cleaning machine is not the presence of computer chips (芯片). Nowadays even your microwave has a computer chip. It is the ability to sense and make changes to the environment in real time.For example, a floor-cleaning robot should be able to sense your scared cat and move out of the way. Today’s computing ability is, for the first time, able to make machines that could “think”, at least in certain limited ways.Robot RevolutionWhat today’s robot can do What (5) ____________ robot may dorecognize and (1) ____________ to your voice talk like peoplesense and make some changes to the (6) ____________work in the (2) ____________(7) ____________ your dogmove around, like walking or(3) ____________ on wheels(8) ____________ your floor(9) ____________ you upthink in some limited (4) ____________(10) ____________ you on the basketball court Task221. respond2. factory3. riding4. ways5. future’s /tomorrow’s6. environment7. walk8. clean9. wake 10. accompany。

But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible — it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak.I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and Icannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.24．What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning?A．He was unwilling to attend it.B．He was excited to take part in it.C．He was astonished to hear about it.D．He was unhappy to withdraw from it. 25．How did the poetry project benefit the author?A．It boosted his confidence.B．It developed his sense of humor.C．It reminded him to be independent.D．It taught him how to organize activities. 26．What can be inferred about Summit Learning?A．It proves the limits of one’s abilities.B．It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.C．It transforms the traditional way of learning.D．It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.27．How does the author find Summit Learning now?A．Demanding.B．Admirable.C．Upsetting.D．Conventional.CScientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.Solar panels — also known as “photovoltaic” panels — are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaies (浮动光伏)”.The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs (水库) worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world. The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.The scientists found that floatovoltaies would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less). The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.Floatovoltaies can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaies a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy. Putting solar panels on water also means that there’s no need to clear land for a solar farm. That’s more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.28．What did the researchers think of the study results?A．Skeptical.B．Amazing.C．Worrying.D．Interesting 29．Where should floating solar panels be placed to make them extremely helpful?A．In small cities with more rain and less sunshine.B．In huge cities with many small lakes and rivers.C．In tiny cities near reservoirs with less than 50,000 people.D．In large cities far from reservoirs with more than 50,000 people.30．Why is covering reservoirs with floating solar panels useful?A．It can help reduce water evaporation.B．It can prevent water from being polluted.C．It purifies the water available for consumption.D．It provides enough sunlight for the solar panels.31．What’s the best title for the text?A．The methods of using floatovoltaiesB．The prospects of the power industryC．Solar Farms —Turning Sunlight into ElectricityD．Floating Solar Panels — Making Energy, Saving WaterDDangerous drivers can be anywhere. Drunk, sleepy and distracted driving can sometimes end tragically, notes Jeesung Lee, 17. This rising high-school junior in South korea attends St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju. He wondered whether AI could help warn people of such drivers. A system he’s designed can now warn drivers when other drivers near them are acting dangerously.Jeesung’s system can find cars traveling at dangerous speeds or suddenly switching lanes(车道). His computer program then sends a message to cellphones in the area. It can text drivers to watch out. Live video surveys many major roads around the globe, often for traffic reports, especially to assess what happened after an accident occurs, Jeesung notes. His AI-based program instead aims to head off accidents.It monitors streaming video in real time. Jeesung trained his computer program with publicly available videos showing car accidents. He then tested his system using video it hadn’t seen. It correctly identified dangerous driving some 80, percent of the time, the teen now reports. It also sends out warnings less than two seconds after spotting risky driving.You can’t get those warnings just yet. To do so, Jeesung wants to use GPS to pinpoint the locations of phone users. That would require permission from South Korea’s government, he notes. But the system should prove quick and reliable, Jeesung says. And it should cost little, he adds. It needs no additional hardware. And his system can be used with existing cameras.Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injuries. Jeesung hopes a system like his can limit these. He aims to continue improving and testing the system in Jeju and eventually go global. 32．What caused Jeesung to design the system?A．Feeling sleepy in class.B．Playing computer games.C．Seeing dangerous drivers.D．Acting wrongly after drinking.33．What is the purpose of Jeesung’s design?A．To speed up cars.B．To stop accidents.C．To report accidents.D．To survey main roads.34．What can we infer from paragraph 4?A．The system will be cheap.B．Existing hardware is of little use.C．Jeesung can know the locations of phone users.D．South Korea’s government has given Jeesung permission.35．What can we learn about Jeesung?A．He is warm-hearted.B．He is ambitious.C．He has a lot of money.D．He has an expensive car.第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
