2015年辽宁省大连市高考英语二模试卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1. It's wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence．But how can you become an international volunteer?*Plan practically．Contact（联系） the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to get for the project．What you often consider plentiful here, such as nails or hammers, is in great need in other parts of the world． *Do the project together, not on your own．You are a guest in the community（社区）．The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away, but that you and community build something as a team．Share skills and build together．*Be flexible．Not everything is going to happen as planned．Often the other country doesn't have the right tools, manpower, transportation or funds to get all the needed work done．In a word, they lack infrastructure（基础设施）．*Contact the people in the community．Often you will have"________ outside the range ofthe project．Rather than move back to the group with whom you traveled, be sure to spend time with the people of the community．Listen to the things about their lives．If you can't speak the language, smiles work wonders．And you will be surprised﹣you will find a wayto community．Volunteering is a special and life﹣long experience for everyone involved（参与的）．Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you．It's a joyful, often careful experience which will encourage you to view yourself, your neighbors and your world quite differently．（1）To become a good volunteer in another country，you need to________．A stick to your original plan．B speak the language fluently．C get well preparedin advance． D bring along nails or hammers．（2）Which might be the most successful result when you do the project？________A Donating books to the community library．B Spending some time chatting with the people．C Building a school for the children before leaving．D Making practical tools with the community members．（3）The underlined word"downtime"in Paragraph 5probably refers to________．A the welfare when you travel．B the sadness when you are alone．C the period when you are not working．D the feeling when you become tired out．（4）What is the text mainly about？________A Places in great need of volunteers．B Ways to cooperate with localpeople． C Reasons for the popularity of volunteering． D Tips on becoming an international volunteer．2. If doctors want to test you for something, they'll usually take a blood or urine sample（尿样）．But wouldn't it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe througha special instrument?In fact, your breath can say a lot about you．In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or herbreath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers'alcohol consumption by testing their breaths．Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of"metabolites"﹣the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person．They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them"breathprints", according to Science Daily．Compared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids（液）．This means thetest can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment．On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat．However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11healthy volunteers'chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didn't change much throughout the day, reported BBC．"Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it becomes competitive with the established（早已确立的）analysis of blood and urine, "said Malcolm Kohler, professor atthe University Hospital Zurich．（1）According to the text we know that________．A breath varies from person to person based on food．B your breath may give you away if you are not careful．C doctors can test one's breath to find about his illness．D trained dogs can identify people with certain cancers．（2）In comparison with blood or urine testing，breath testing is________．A comfortable and convincing．B traditional and reliable．C accurate and competitive．D quick and convenient．（3）What is the author's attitude toward breath testing？________A Doubtful．B Approving．C Unconcerned．D Worried．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future．B Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment．C Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases．D Traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular．3. How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments﹣mostly for entertainment purposes﹣is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals．However, most zoos remain"collections"of interesting"things"rather than protective habitats（栖息地）．Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their naturalhomes．Zoos claim（声称） to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals'naturalbehavior, intelligence, or beauty．Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species'name, diet, and natural range．The animals'normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals'natural needs．The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise．This results in unusually self﹣destructive behavior called zoochosis．A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages．Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain．Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered．Captive breeding（圈养繁殖） of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species（物种） has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out．In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers．Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons why people kill them．Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals'natural habitats．（1）What does the author think of the zoos？________A They love to collect interesting things．B They are not worthy of the public support．C They do not treat animals as human beings．D They teach people to save endangered animals．（2）The author develops his opinion mainly by________．A using evidence he has collected at zoos．B pointing out the wrong doings of the zoos．C questioning the way animals are protected．D discussing the advantages of natural habitats．（3）Though arguing against zoos，the author has to admit that________．A zoos have to keep animals in small cages．B most animals in zoos are endangered species．C some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos．D it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats．4. There has been much debate since Titanic became one of the most successful films of all time: Did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the makeshift（临时替代的）lifeboat as they floated in the ocean?A U．S．television show, the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters recreated the dangerous conditions after the Titanic sank in 1912, and through a chain of hypothermia（体温过低）tests, has discovered Leonardo DiCaprio's character would have survived the disaster had he lifted himself onto the board from which Rose, played by Kate Winslet, was rescued．As fans of the film remember, Jack remains in the freezing water while Rose lies on afloating piece of the destroyed ship as he doesn't want it turned over．In the Oscar﹣winning film, Jack dies from hypothermia while Rose is rescued．Titanic director James Cameron told Mythbusters he believed the board wouldn't have supported both Jack and Rose．But the team found if Rose had taken off her life jacket and put it under the board it would have given them enough ________ to keep both of them floating．In the film Rose was one of the last to be rescued．Historical documents show that the Officer Harold Lowe, who was made to rescue Rose, looked for survivors for 45minutes．In a separate test the team found that had Jack remained in the freezing water for over an hour he would have died from hypothermia．Cameron, however, had the last word telling the TV show that Jack had to die as that's what the plot called for．He said, "I think you're missing the point here．The plot says Jack died．He has to die．So maybe we should have made the board a tiny bit smaller, but he's still going down．"（1）The U．S．TV show did tests on Jack's death________．A after creating a difficult condition．B by tying Rose's life jacket to theboat． C after talking to the US director James Cameron． D by testing how long one can hold out in cold water．（2）What does the underlined word"buoyancy"in Paragraph 5 probably mean？________A Force．B Warmth．C Softness．D Space．（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？________A Rose was the last one to be rescued．B Finally Cameron agreed with theteam． C Cameron thought the board was hard enough． D Kate Winslet's character died from hypothermia．（4）What would be the best title for the text？________A Jack's Death for Nothing．B A TV Show's Similar Tests．C Cameron's Unreasonable Argument．D Jack's Deep Love with Kate Winslet．第二节（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．5. （1）_______Surrounding yourself with supportive，loving people is one of the best things you can do during a breakup．They will recover your self﹣confidence and remind you how to have fun．Also，it's always better to have someone else to cry and scream with．5．Clean．（2）_______ Take the time to get organized and get rid of any unwanted things，particularly ones with bad memories attached lying around your home．This will make you feel clean and refreshed on the inside too．A．Don't go through it alone．B．Let yourself cry and scream．C．Don't let sad feelings rule her life forever．D．It's important to clean the tears on your face．E．And you'll have to deal with two spiritual messes．F．Just don't break any laws or get involved in drugs．G．I don't mean your face，but that's always a positive thing too．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分30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．6.

Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining about the heavy traffic. It has seriously influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some pieces of advice.For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. Foranother, the number of bikes and cars can be limited, which can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is that the number of private cars should be put under control. Meanwhile, buses should have their own special routes which cannot be used by other vehicles. Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.I do hope my suggestions will be taken.Yours,Li Hua哈尔滨师大附中东北师大附中 辽宁省实验中学。

And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its owncultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”4．What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”?A．It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.B．She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.C．She understood the intention but still disliked it.D．Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.5．The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.A．pick up a new hobby B．reconnect with her originC．gain insights into a new culture D．fit in with local community6．From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.A．reflects the creator’s spirits B．comes from creative energyC．highlights the design of strokes D．depends on continuous practice7．What does the author intend to tell us?A．Appreciate what our culture offers.B．Find beauty from your inner self.C．A great teacher leads you to truth.D．We are the sum of what we create.Getting rid of old tyres (轮胎) has long been a problem. Most are thrown into landfills or piled up in storage. Energy recovery is another common method. This involves burning tyres to generate electricity or heat for industries, but that produces planet warming pollution; or we use them to repair roads, but chemicals from them might pollute the ground.Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring an alternative. One such firm is Wastefront, which owns a big tyre-recycling plant in north-east England. In a couple of years, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products, including a black liquid called TDO (轮胎衍生油).The process works by deconstructing a tyre into steel, rubber, and carbon black. After tearing down the steel, the remaining material is exposed to high temperatures in the absence of air to make the rubber change into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, and then they’re removed. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the removed gases cool down, a part of them liquefies (液化) into TDO. The remaining gases are to be burned to fuel the process. This creates a closed-cycle system that prevents emissions.The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre-makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral—achieving a balance between the amounts of carbon dioxide produced and the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. Producing new carbon black requires burning heavy oil or coal, which lets off plenty of greenhouse gases.The recovered TDO is well-suited for making diesel (柴油). While not completely carbon-neutral, it does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with the conventional fuel. The future market for such cleaner fuels will remain large, even though electric vehicles are on the rise. Fossil-fueled vehicles will exist for decades, particularly the big burners of diesel — trucks, which are harder to electrify. The fuel is also needed by trains and ships. So, anything that helps clean up overall emissions is useful — especially if it also eases a mountainous waste problem.8．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To analyze causes.B．To present problems.C．To reach solutions.D．To make comparisons.9．What can be inferred about the tyre-recycling process?A．Air boosts the burning of the old tyres.B．The remaining gases are emitted into the air.C．Pure carbon black is an unprocessed substance.D．TDO comes from the removed hydrocarbon gases.10．Why are tyre-makers interested in tyre-recycling?A．They hope to gain financial rewards.B．It helps reduce greenhouse emissions.C．It helps improve production efficiency.D．They hope to expand the future market. 11．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．Diesel made from TDO.B．Clean electric energy.C．Carbon-neutral process.D．Recovered TDO from old tyres.A pair of researchers with Leibniz University of Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals. As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm, Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots, by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain.The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations, but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us,” says Kuchn. When we avoid the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt. "So when robots can feel and react to pain, they will become smart enough to avoid it. The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be, the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger. Additionally, Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain, especially those in heavy machinery, will be protected around them.They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature. It uses a robot-tissue patch (小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take. For example, if the arm feels light pain, it slowly withdraws until the pain stops, and then returns to its original task; severe pain, meanwhile, causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator.Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions, of course, if they become more common —if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate, are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain? Only time will tell of course, but one thing that is evident, Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever.12．What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration?A．They can learn skills like animals.B．They can communicate with people.C．They have the ability to feel pain.D．They respond differently to requests. 13．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about ?A．The significance of teaching robots to feel pain.B．The principle of robots’ avoidance of injuries.C．The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system.D．The value of protecting human workers from injury.14．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?A．The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks.B．The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator.C．The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain.D．The robot is tolerant of changes of pressure and temperature.15．What is the author’s attitude toward Kuehn and Haddadin’s study?A．Negative.B．Doubtful.C．Unclear.D．OptimisticWays To Increase The Quality of Your LifeIt is time to do something to increase the quality of your life. Nothing can beat living an active, purposeful, successful life filled with happiness and fulfillment. 16Treat yourself.It doesn’t matter if it’s a meal out, or a visit to a theater. Make the first thing you do a treat that you have been longing for some time. 17 Treats can be free, and you can always make time.Take up a hobby.When you lead a boring life, it is great to have something to think about that takes you into another world. 18 If you love to read, devote time to just sitting with a book and losing yourself in an imaginary world. The whole point of a hobby is that it is something for you, so it doesn’t matter what it is as long as you enjoy it.19Often we lose sight of the positive, beneficial things in our lives. Everyone has things to be grateful for and making a list helps to concentrate your mind on these positives. Allow yourself a few minutes to think about your life and identify the good things.Exercise.20 Go running, or get down to the gym.

AWe don’ t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams. But some people are lucky, like Matthew McConaughey. Once almost unknown, the actor has recently found himself back on the list of the best actors in Hollywood. His new movie Interstellar is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success. “The film relies on McConaughey’ s performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of space travel and the end of the world,”Forbes commented.But only years ago, the Texas native was often the butt of jokes（笑柄）about being too handsome. In 1993, after meeting with director Richard Linklater, McConaughey starred in Dazed and Confused. And a Hollywood career was born, mostly in romantic comedies. For a long time, the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie, and began to use his looks differently. Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor. In 2013, McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club. The role saw the normally muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick. His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor.The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech. When he was 15, the actor said, he decided that his hero would be himself in 10 years. But 10 years later, he pushed the deadline ahead another d ecade. Then 10 years later, another decade.“My hero’ s always 10 years away,” he said. “I’ m never going to attain that. That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.”Or perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chan ce to follow his dreams.21. Why was McConaughey often the butt of jokes in his early career?A. He was limited to handsome roles.B. He was unknown to the audience.C. He played in romantic comedies.D. He was handsome and emotional.22. What role won Mc Conaughey an Oscar for Best Actor?A. A caring father.B. An AIDS activist.C. A serious buyer.D. A strong hero.23. What can we learn about McConaughey？A. He was born in Hollywood.B. He has become a hero of his own.C. He wasn’ t famous u ntil recently.D. He isn’ t content with his achievements.24. Which of the following can be the best title?A. McConaughey, a Romantic ComedianB. McConaughey, a Man Making a HitC. McConaughey, a Man Daring to changeD. McConaughey, Handsome and TalentedBShake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U.S. The restaurants are not“fast food” . They are known as“fast casual” .Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’ s has struggled financially. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald’ s net income dropped by about $300 million. The January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected. While McDonald’ s is struggling to get their customers back, ShakeShack, is doing well in making money. The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO, or initial public offering, of shares at the end of January. On its first day of trading, Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share. Being part of the “fast casual ”trend has helped Shake Shack. Other fast casual restaurants in the U.S. include Chipotle and Panera.Bonnie Riggs, a res taurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’ restaurant habits for almost 30 years. She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’ s new. It’ s creative, it’ s something different and people like to try new things. Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year. Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants, like McDonald’ s. Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits, but it has developed fast. Just as Ms. Riggs says,“It’ s growin g by leaps and bounds, because they meet consumers’ needs. They know it’ s being prepared while they wait, it’ s fresh, quality food, good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices.”Many Americans still like their fast food. They just are not going as often. They are finding other ways to have a meal.25. What’ s the trouble with McDonald’ s?A. Its share goes down to $21.B. Shake Shack has taken its place.C. It’ s not popular with Americans.D. Its sales and income have dropped.26. We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans ________.A. don’ t like fast food any moreB. care only about the qualityC. like to try something newD. pay more restaurant visits to fast casual27. What does the underlined phrase“by leaps and bounds”in Para. 3 mean?A. Steadily.B. Rapidly.C. Slowly.D. Normally.28. Which of the following best describes fast casual?A. Fresh-made and tasty.B. High-quality and expensive.C. Farm-to-table and traditional.D. Time-consuming and special.CAnswering the Community Needs of Our CityThe Silver City Council recognizes that citizens have certain needs. To better meet your needs, we have made several changes to community facilities in 2014. The followings show how we have tried to make your life better.Transport☆Three stations for the suburbs have been added to the western train service.☆20 new buses for the southern line were purchased in January.☆50 per cent of city bus stops have been upgraded.Communication☆Broadband cable is now available to all parts of the city.☆All of the new Government buildings are smart wired for better computer service!Medical Facilities☆The new state of the art Nightingale Hospital was opened in June.☆To overcome a shortage of trained medical staff at Dover Hospital, 10 doctors have been employed from overseas.☆Some facilities at Station Street Hospital have been upgraded.Education☆Textbooks will be free to all primary students in 2014!☆Rental for private schools has been reduced.Protection and Security☆Extra police now patrol（巡逻）the tourist areas.☆50 new police officers graduated in July and have taken up duties in the city area.Entertainment / Recreation☆The new Central Community Building opened in May.☆5,000 new fiction books were bought for the Silver City Library.29. What is the purpose of the changes in Silver City?A. To satisfy all the needs of the citizens.B. To make public service improved.C. To better the citizens’life.D. To meet the needs of the Silver City Council.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. Travel books are provided in the new library.B. More bus lines and stops are bought in Silver City.C.

The public notice is from _______.A. the communityB. the local governmentC. the Silver City LibraryD. a travel agencyDYou may have experienced the frustration of receiving a parking fine or finding your car towed away （拖走）after leaving it parked for a couple of minutes.But now a high tech car sticker could help motorists avoid such a situation by allowing a traffic warden（管理员）to get in touch with them. Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car’ s windscreen，having set it up with vital information, such as their phone number. The slim design will include a sensor that will send a text message warning a driver about a coming fine when touched by a traffic warden. The message will ask them to move their car immediately. The driver could then type a reply for the warden using their smartphone, which will appear on the sticker’ s screen.They may choose to write something along the lines of“back in two minutes”in a bid to avoid a fine. Frankfurt-based IT consultant, Daniel Kalliontzis, came up with the idea and is raising funds on Indiegogo to put his 54 sticker into production.The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically, a German law. The law states:“An officer has to choose the most efficie nt and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.”It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the driver than to tow his car.At the time of writing, Mr Kalliontzis has raised just over 3,000 of his 50,000 goal on Indiegogo. If he manages to raise the money, the stickers will be shipped in June 2015. But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages, because anyone could touch the smart sticker.32. The first paragraph is intended to ________.A. highlight an awkward situationB. complain about a parking fineC. introduce the topic of the passageD. remind motorists of the parking risk33. What may probably contribute to the application of the TowStop sticker in Germany?A. The sticke r’ s low cost.B. The mass production.C. The goodwill of motorists.D. The law of the country.34. What can be concluded from the last paragraph about the TowStop Sticker?A. It takes time and efforts to put it to use.B. Only traffic wardens can touch the sticker．C. All car owners will use the sticker in 2015．D. Kalliontzis is experienced in raising money．35. What’ s the right order of the following statements according to the passage?①A message is sent by the sensor.②The sticker is put insi de a car’ s windscreen.③A traffic warden touches the smart sticker.④The sticker is set up with vital information.⑤The motorist sends a message.A.②④⑤③①B.④②③①⑤C. ④②③⑤①D.②④①③⑤第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

People often complain that they see some people jump in the queue, disturbing the harmony of society, and to be worse, chairs meant /intended for children and seniors are occupied by the young. It is high time that we should take actions to improve public morals.Firstly, government should make it a rule that people will get fined or punished if caught behaving against public morals. Additionally, it makes sense that schools should take on the duty to give students lessons on how to be a qualified citizen. Last but not the least, only by setting some examples can people learn how to behave decently from people around.All in all, it owes to the majority’s support that we can live in a peaceful and harmonious neighborhood. Don’t hesitate to get rid of your own improper behaviors.2）Nowadays we can still see some behaviors against public morals. Every now and then, we find some people spitting, littering or talking loudly in public places, which makes others annoyed. Also it is really shameful that some travelers damage historic relics at random. Even some people violate the law just for their personal interests.In my opinion, not only should education on public morals be offered, but effective laws andregulations should be established and strictly carried out to guarantee the rights of the majority. Of course, we individuals should show self control, attach importance to good manners ,and be willing to offer help whenever it is needed.Let’s join our hands in building a healthy and harmonious society. I’m sure your contribution will make a difference.听力原文:Text 1M: I’ll have the steak, French fries and chocolate ice cream for dessert.W: Oh, no, you know these things are bad for your health.

Mall rats shop unt il they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the atmosphere inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest area with waterfalls and large green trees.The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750, 000 people shop every week.The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. Now people shop in malls, of course. They also eat in food houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies here. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends. In a word, now residents can actually live in their favorite shopping center.。
