But that doesn’tmean they’re doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigersand South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. Themain reasons for their population decline are illegal huntingand destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests togather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specificallythe San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA,these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of theconstruction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?A. Around 3890.B. 50000.C. 124000.D. 413000.22．Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?A. Tigers.B. Giraffes.C. Ground squirrels.D. Asian elephants.A. Illegal hunting.B. Disturbed habitat.C. Developing tourism.D. Unnecessary construction.BOne evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “What’s a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else helped me in the kitchen. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman i n his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home course.I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.I knew that he would rather have been playing in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother----he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing hisown shirt very attractive, but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, a nd more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing good about being helpless.Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.24. Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?A. Because he was not well behaved.B. Because he refused to help with dinner.C. Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.D. Because he didn’25. In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to_______ .A. making children live a hard life.B. preparing children for their future lifeC. telling kids what is right and wrongD. building up children’s confidence26. After learning to do housework, Ray______ .A. fell in love with sewing.B. did other work in the house.C. acknowledged his mother’s efforts.D. began to be more hard-working.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. Useful education for boys.B.Boys should be involved in housework．C. The importance of housework.D. Cooking and sewing make boys manly．CThe world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated, andit’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness, unless he or she isnot bothered by heights.Situated in the capital’s new riverside district besideBattersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys,or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings,is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m.Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the streetbelow as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between thema nd the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairsand an orange garden.The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, ahuge billion building project beside the new American Embassyin south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly$ 1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’owners.Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windowsand brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent（透明的）structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in Central London.Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a great view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market.28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool?A. Visitors to London.B. Anyone at Nine Elms.C. Those who are not terrified of heights.D. People living in Embassy Gardens.29. What can the swimmers enjoy according to the paragraph 2?A. Having fun surfing online.B. Appreciating the views below.C. Drinking orange juice for free.D. Experiencing diving and surfing.30. What do we know about the pool from the text?A. It lies in the centre of London.B. It is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens.C. It is 25 metres above the ground.D. It was similar to New York’s modern constructions.31. We can infer from the text that .B. the new American Embassy has been moved away.C. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy Gardens.D. the apartments of Embassy Garden are fairly expensive.DSomething I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It’s two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into (大口吃) my box of popcorn, I’m often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AM C Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I’mat, please don’t sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?32. The underlined word “irritated” in Paragraph 1 means _________.A. annoyedB. depressedC. terrifiedD. embarrassed33. Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain’s original advice?A. They forbade people to use the phone.B. The advice was carried out smoothly.C. The advice was very popular with people.D. They permitted people to use the phone.34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.B. The cinema needn’t worry about their customers.C. Young people use their social media frequently.D. Sending messages is the best experience for young people.35. What is the author’s attitude towards multi-task at the movies?A. Sympathy.B. Disapproval.C. Enthusiasm.D. Encouragement.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选项.How to Be Good at SportsSet ambitious but realistic goals. If you want to be great at sports, you need to set your aims high. 36 Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal.Be patient. 37 Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If you’re not patient, you’ll try to jump into advanced techniques long before you're ready. You’ll feel discouraged when you don’t see immediate improvement.Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school, you should go for team tryouts when they’re happening. 38Accept criticism. When you play sports, you will unavoidably receive criticism, whether from a coach or other players. 39 Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better.A. Skills are often slow to build.B. This does not mean being unrealistic.C. You need to take most of it with a grain of salt.E. You also need to be clear about what you are good at.F. If you're not in school, you can find a sports club online.G.

They had run the whole race side by side. The first woman to finish was 34-year-old Betty Omary from Belfast in 2 hours and 18 minutes. The youngest person to finish so far was 30-year-old Shelly Mortimer from Alcester. All together, more than 10500 runners took part in the just over 42-kilometer course that startedfrom Greenwich this morning. It is still too early to see how many will actually finish. The organizers say very few runners have dropped out so far, perhaps because of the cold weather. The medical teams had very little to do. There will be a full report on the London Marathon in this evening’s sports report at 7:15 on Radio 2. And now for the rest of the news.。

twofootlong spike sticks out of her side．It's a piece of fishing equipment that the shark ate carelessly．After traveling into her body，the spike punctured（刺）through the shark's stomach．A man swimming in the water notices the shark．Then，he warns Sea World Marine Parkin the nearby town of Gold Coast．Sea World sends a 12person team from its rescue center to where the shark was discovered in Moreton Bay Marine Park．Soon，they find her lying on the seafloor．"She'll die without help，"says Trevor Long，leader of the rescue center．Using an onboard crane（吊车），the rescuers move the shark into their boat's 13 footlong tank（缸）．Then Dr．David Blyde gives the shark pain medicine and performs an operation to remove the spike．After that，the team sails with the shark to Sea World 33 miles away．They place the fish in a 49footlong tank and wait to see if she gets better．To give the shark's stomach time to get better，she isn't fed for the first few days．A week after her operation，Long offers the shark a small，dead fish．The animal refuses to eat．But days later when he drops another fish into her tank，the shark enjoys her meal．By now the shark's wounds are getting better．Two weeks after her rescue，they take the shark back to the boat and return her toMoreton Bay Marine Park．As the fish is lowered by the crane to the water's surface，two rescuers jump into the ocean and guide her into the sea．From the

something you've bought online has been in the hands of a "picker"first．These are the workers in warehouses（仓库）who pick，pack and ship all those things we're ordering．At Amazon and other companies，they're working side by side with robots．Experts saywhile the robots are replacing some human workers，the machines aren't quite ready to take over completely．When a robot finds its storage unit，it slides underneath，lifts it up and then delivers it to a worker 一they're called pickers．On a recent day，the computer told a picker to grab what looked like a fantasy board （棋盘）game．The picker found it，canned it and placed it on the conveyor belt．"In a traditional fulfillment center where the associate would walk to the different items ，it can take hours to fulfill a customer order．" Robinson says．Now，with the help of robots，that task takes minutes 一and fewer humans．So is this a sign we're entering a new industrial revolution？"It's definitely going to take over a lot of jobs．" says Karen Myers，a scientist at SRI，one of Silicon Valley's oldest research centers．At the same time，she says，we're running against the limits of technology．Take "the picker"at the Amazon fulfillment center．Myers says those skills are proving to beuniquely human．"Our fingers are incredibly flexible and the current generation of robotic operators，they're getting much，much better，" she says．"But they're just not quite there yet．"There's also the robot's brain．Remember that board game the Amazon worker was looking for？She could barely see the box filled into the storage bin - but she could tell it was a board game．Robots can't do that．Technologists say that，increasingly，humans will work side by side with robots - instead of robots working alone．Amazon says robots and humans enabled the Tracy warehouse to fulfill customer orders faster．That means more customers and more human workers．A picker does some tasks except ______ ．A．picking goodsB．producing goodsC．spotting goodsD．packing goodsWith the help of robots，some tasks are ______ ．A．more efficientB．less straightC．more difficultD．less profitableCompared with robots，humans are more ______

humans working side byside．五、短文改错（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）31.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文．作文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处．每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改．增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）并在其下面写出该加的词．删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉．修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词．注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分．I

He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest. Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five y ears ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.1．What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A.

The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.“The e ffect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of getting fat and diabetes (糖尿病).In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert (机敏的) in class and get better grades.Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11: 00 pm. So when school starts at 8: 00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate ( 感激) this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.1.When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?A.No earlier than 8:30 am..B.No earlier than 8:00 am.C.No earlier than 7:30 am.D.No earlier than 9:00 am.2.What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?A. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.B. Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.C. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.D. Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes3.What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?A. Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night..B. Less sleep is needed when they enter pubertyC. They often wake up at midnight due to biologicalD. They may have difficulty falling asleep before11.pm4.Where does this passage probably come from?A. A n ewspaperB. A b iographyC. A textbookD. An advertisement4.（8分）Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years，development in technology has moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now，two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype(原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton，marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics，says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.“It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed，” he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company’s main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors(交叠式旋翼) to power the vehicle.The company is testing a fullsize prototype of the Hoverbike，which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand，the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device，called Jetpack(喷气背包).It can fly for more than 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack “is built around safety from the start”.In his words，“reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself，very sim ilar to a Formula One racing car.”Jetpack uses a gasolinepowered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr Coker says it also has a parachute(降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot，” he adds. Mr Coker says Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.1.We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike __________.A. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsB. can be transported quickly after being folded and packedC. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyD. can fly for over 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high2.The writer uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that .A.Jetpack’s engine is powerfulB.Jetpack is very safe and reliableC.Jetpack’s actual structure is uniqueD.Jetpack can reach a great speed and height3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.A.the parachuteB.the engineC.JetpackD.the jet stream4.What is th e author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A.To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B.To show the differences between the two personal flying vehicles..C.To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.D.To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（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。

ADear Mr. Price,I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service, but what happened last Saturday made me very angry. It was my son’s birthday so we ordered a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.The first waitress, Janet , was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a little insect in her vegetables. She was surprised and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs , she said sorry and took the food away.We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that he was on holiday. I complained again about the terrible insect. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for the meals including my wife’s .I argued with him but had to pay in the end.The waitress , Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.You can contact me on 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.Yours sincerely,Raymond Yuen1. How did Mr. Yuen feel about the restaurant before last Saturday?A. PleasedB. DisappointedC. InterestedD. Concerned2. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Mr. Yuen had his birthday party at the restaurant.B. Mr. Yuen paid for all the meals they had ordered.C. Mr. Yuen was satisfied with the service and food.D. Mr. Yuen argued with the manager of the restaurant.3. This is basically a letter of ______.A. appreciationB. apologyC. disagreementD. dissatisfaction4. Mr Yuen wants Mr. Price to ______.A. say sorry to himB. pay for his billC. fire the head waiterD. get the head waiter to apologizeBHow could you tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world’s first clock, except in the far north, where the Eskimos live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day , and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon or afternoon. People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and stars. The whole sky is their clock.In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes directions or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. And when it is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.5. What did people use as the first clock according to the writer?A. The moon.B. The star.C. The sun.D. The wind.6. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The Eskimos can’t tell time from the sun.B. The moon and sta rs are seamen’s clocks.C. Wind can be the clock at all places.D. Sand clocks are better than others.7. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 means ______?A. the sand.B. the hourglass.C. the picture.D. the part.8. What is the passage mainly about？A. Different ways to tell time.B. Useful machines to tell time.C. The history of the clock.D. The development of the clock.CIn the coming months, we are bringing together artists from all over the globe, to enjoy speaking Shakespeare’s plays in their own language, in our Globe , within the architecture Shakespeare wrote for .

When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that ; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theatre and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He andI both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.12 . Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D.
