Hearing the sounds of the young birds, I looked around and found this 17 .”“Put it on the ground,” said the wise man.Then the mother bird flew 18 and sat on the edge (边缘) of the nest, 19 to have found her children.“Put the family back where you 20 them,” said the wise man. “Be 21 to animals. Ride them when they are 22 enough to carry you. Get off when they are 23 . Give them something to drink when they are thirsty. You can 24 your new neighbor to move his cases up the stairs.

A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person.The Mayo Clinic health centers suggest several steps if bleeding (出血) is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press on it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush(挤压) major arteries and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical help arrives.To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area.If you know first aid methods, you can be calmer and more helpful in case of emergency.36. Which of the following is not the cause of accidental poisoning?A. A harmful medicine.B. A cleaning liquid.C. Dangerous pesticide.D. Poisonous insects.37. The underlined word “expelled” can be replaced by _______.A. coming outB. taking upC. going awayD. getting down38. If there is a severe bleeding, you should _______.A. cover the wound with a tourniquetB. clean the wound and try to stop bleedingC. treat the infected wound with saltD. help the victim do physical activity39. We can learn from the text that _______.A. accidental poisoning seldom happensB. you can learn first aid easily at homeC. first aid is helpful in case of emergencyD. doctors have difficulty in treating victims40. The text may be written for _______.A. teachersB. studentsC. the publicD. doctorsBIt was my first day in college. As I entered the chemistry class, I saw everyone seated. Apparently, I was late. I started looking for a bench when suddenly someone said, “Here. Come and sit.” That’s how I met Rachel.We started sitting together for lectures, lunch and would partner with each other for the projects and even discussed our lives. It was a perfect friendship. There was no trace of jealousy when she publicly talked to other girls or when I did. We understood each other perfectly and had complete freedom for each other. Time moved swiftly.During my final year, I was not able to attend most lectures as I started preparing for MBA. Rachel would ensure that I got all the important updates (最新的信息) about classes, experiments and projects. She would call me up twice a week to tell me about college.I would never forget the day when I was at college to get my BSc mark sheets, how proudly she told everyone of my selection. I was amazed to see how beautifully she celebrated my happiness.On the eighteenth, June, just one day before her twenty-third birthday, while I was playing video games with my brothers, the phone rang.It was Rachel. I picked up. The voice on the other end was not hers. It was her brother. He said that Rachel was no more —No More! I simply didn’t understand. Later, I was told Rachel died in an accident.Tears covered my face, my eyes were red and I could barely speak. I cried... I cried like hell! How could it happen? It was unbelievable.After coming back from her funeral, the days were the darkest ones in my life so far. To date, whenever I remember, I still see her smiling at me, forever willing to help me. Sometimes when I close my eyes I feel her looking at me and smiling!Through her, I come to know where the real connection is. Love stays long after we are gone, as she stays with me to this day!41. How did the author probably feel when asked to sit with Rachel?A. Uneasy.B. Good.C. Confused.D. Self-confident.42.

Which of the following about Rachel is NOT true?A. She helped the author a lot.B. She died in an accident.C. She studied hard for her MBA.D. She took great pride in the author.44. After receiving the news, the author was _______.A. in great sadnessB. very stressedC. very doubtfulD. very disappointed45. The author mainly wants to tell readers through the text that _______.A. a friend in need is a friend indeedB. let bygones be bygonesC. things lost can never come againD. real love stays longerCGirls’ behaviour at school is becoming worse due to the appeal of Wag lifestyles and reality TV shows, according to teachers.They are giving up on studying because they want an “easy route to money” by becoming a football er’s wife or an instant star on Britain’s Got Talent or The X Factor. Many want to become a mini-celebrity instantly and they often interrupt classes, spread rumours (谣言) and even take cyber-bullying. As a result, teachers’ time is increasingly taken up with dealing with “horsing around”, use of mobile phones in lessons and bullying.The Association of Teachers and Lecturers(ATL) surveyed 859 teachers, heads, lecturers and support staff working in state and independent schools ahead of its annual conference, which begins in Liverpool today. Nearly half said girls’ behaviour has worsened over the past two years. And one in five believe that girls’ behaviour is more challenging than that of boys.Hank Roberts, ATL’s junior vice president, cited the influen ce of Wags – young women who obtain instant wealth by marrying sportsmen. And he thought that teaching is made more difficult by programmes such as The X Factor, which is judged by Cheryl Cole―herself the winner of a TV talent show and a former footballer’s wife.Mr Roberts, a teacher at Copland Community School in Wembley, said that the TV shows create a “false image of success that anyone can do it and it’s just a matter of luck rather than hard work”. Other reasons given for girls’ bad behavior are bust-ups (破裂)with friends and family and problems associated with puberty (青春期). Almost half of teachers said the most common form of bad behavior is bullying by isolating another pupil and spreading rumors.46. Girls are giving up on studying because ______.A. the lessons at school are not valuable enoughB. they prefer to watch TV showsC. they want immediate wealth or successD. they can become wealthy more easily47. Under the influence of Wag lifestyles, girls want to ______.A. work hard to become successfulB. become wealthy by marrying sportsmenC. become successful in the field of sportsD. compete with boys in both study and work48. Which of the following is NOT true about Cheryl Cole?A. She is just an example of Wag lifestyles.B. She became wealthy by marrying a sportsman.C. She won a TV talent show once.D. She can influence girls in a positive way.49. Mr Roberts believes that the TV shows ______.A. give more practical lessons to studentsB. influence the relationship between girls and their parentsC. are misleading girlsD. should be forbidden50. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us ______.A. what is Wag lifestylesB. the bad influence of Wag lifestyles and reality TV showsC. the challenges that teachers are facing todayD. how to give girls proper directions in modern societyDJapanese households are being urged to go to bed one hour earlier than normal in order to help tackle climate change.The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.The Morning Challenge campaign, launched by the Japanese Environment Ministry, is based on the belief that swapping late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation’s carbon footprint.A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier, according to the campaign.The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early equals 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights,“Many Japanese people waste electric power at night time, for example by watching TV until very late.”a ministry spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions. If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emissions. The campaign also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.It is the latest initiative (倡议) tackling climate change by the Japanese environment ministry, which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels within the next three decades.It was the same government department that launched the high-profile (备受关注的) Cool Biz campaign five years ago, which encourages workers to wear short-sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air conditioner lower than 28 degrees Celsius during summer.51.The campaign mentioned in the passage is aimed at ______.A. saving electricityB. taking full advantage of morning sunshineC. improving Japanese people’s lifestyleD. reducing household carbon dioxide emissions52. Getting up an hour earlier, people are advised to ______.A. live a healthier lifeB. go to work earlierC. have breakfast earlierD. dance in the park53. The underlined phrase “carbon footprint” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. the footsteps the Japanese makeB. carbon paintingC. carbon dioxide emissionsD. carbon paper54. By 2020, the Japanese hope to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the level of 1990 by ______.A. 20%B. 25%C. 28%D. 85%55. What can we learn about the Cool Biz campaign according to the passage?A. It was started by the Japanese Environment Ministry last year.B. It was intended to save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.C. It demanded that workers should not wear short-sleeved shirts.D. It discouraged the workers from turning on air conditioner during summer.四、书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(第77题2分,第76、78、79题每题3分,第80题4分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

He had little education and educated himself through self-study. Even from an early age, Burns began to show his writing talent.He published his first collection of poems at the age of 27. Burns’ success earned him four hundred dollars, a large sum of money at that time. When the French Revolution broke out, he supported the revolution and in 1792 he sent four small guns to Paris to the government. He further expressed his support by writing a number of poems. In these poems Burns called on people to fight for a happy life in the future. During the last 12 years of his life, Burns did a great deal of work in collecting and editing traditional Scottish songs. He refused to accept any pay, although he was badly in need of money. He continued the work even when he was on his deathbed.He wrote poems and songs in the tradition of Scottish folk songs. Nu merous are Burns’ songs of love and friendship. Much of the influence for Burns’ works of art was gathered from his surroundings, the places he travelled to, the culture and politics of the day and of course the people he loved. His poems and songs speak straight from the heart of a peasant to express in simplest words the common feelings of millions of working people. One of his world-famous songs is A Red, Red, Rose.He is widely regarded as a national poet. A national Burns Night is held in Scotland and in other places throughout the world every year on January 25.56. Why did Robert Burns have little schooling?A. He preferred to teach himself at home.B. He disliked the regulated school life.C. His family couldn’t afford his education.D. He had to work on a farm to support himself.57. In his poems and songs, Burns .A. expressed his love for his country and the worldB. thought highly of people fighting for their countriesC. hoped people could earn their living by hard workD. encouraged people to fight for their happiness58. What are the themes of Burns’ many songs?A. Love and friendship.B. Happiness and love.C. Simplicity and richness.D. Generosity and kindness.59. We can learn from the passage that Robert Burns .A. lived an exciting and rich lifeB. had few friends all his lifeC. did a lot for Scottish literatureD. influenced many poets of the present time阅读表达Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way.Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.Yet a few people keep their anger inside.They can not or will not express it.This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, men decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry.Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.1.What's the author's purpose by writing this passage?

But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous for her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques.Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife-painting training center for them.”Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 yuan. That’s much higher th an average salaries in the area.This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.56.

From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.A.

Second, you can go after your passion and dreams. What are you going to lose?You still have a chance to end your life in a magnificent way.

Involve in activities that feed your soul and charge your body. Don’t end your life too early. There is more out there that can be done.

He was born in Nantes, France, and ran away to the sea at the age of 11. After he was sent home in disgrace, he decided to travel only in his imagination. He carried out this pledge in more than 50 works that combine scientific fantasy and exciting adventure.V erne studied law in Paris, and from 1848 to 1863 he wrote operas and plays. His interest in science and geographical discovery led him to write on the possibility of exploring Africa in a balloon. Many publishers refused this work, until one publisher suggested he rewrite it in the form of an adventure story. The result was FiveWeeksinaBalloon. Its success encouraged V erne to write other tales of adventure in distant lands. He based them on his wide reading.V erne rode a wave of 19th-century interest in science and invention to enormous popular favor. Laying a carefully documented scientific foundation for his fantastic adventure stories, he forecast with remarkable accuracy many scientific achievements of the 20th century. He anticipated (预言) flights into outer space, submarines, helicopters, air conditioning, guided missiles, and motion pictures long before they were developed.V erne’s best-known work is AroundtheWorldinEightyDays. The book’s hero is Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman known for his cool-headedness and ingenuity. During a discussion at his London club, Fogg bets that he can travel around the world in 80 days, a seemingly impossible task at that time. He is accompanied on the journey by his French servant, Passepartout, and by Detective Fix, who has been sent by the club to observe his progress. During their adventures in many parts of the world, Fogg masters every difficulty with ease. He completes the journey with ten minutes to spare.64. The underlined word “pledge” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. painB. shameC. dreamD. promise65. From Paragraph 2, we learn that FiveWeeksinaBalloon.A. was probably finished between 1848 and 1863B. is about adventures in distant islandsC. was written in the form of an adventure storyD. was published by many publishers at the same time66. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that .A. not many people were interested in science and invention in the 19th centuryB. many of Verne’s predictions came true laterC. guided missiles, and motion pictures were developed by VerneD. science and invention should be based on adventure stories67. What will the author most probably talk about in the following paragraph?A. Verne’s personal life.B. Verne’s other famous books.C. The characteristics of Verne’s books.D. The obstacles that Fogg met.DCharles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812 in Hampshire, England. In 1822, his family moved to London, where his father, John Dickens, worked as a clerk. Dickens’ family was considered middle class. However, in 1824, John Dickens was imprisoned for debt, bringing the family to financial disaster and leading to Dickens, the oldest child, being sent to work in a shoe-dye factory.Months later, Dickens’ father was set free. Although Dickens’ mother wanted him to stay at work, his father, who had now given up his expensive spending habits, got him to return to school. His schooling ended forever when Dickens returned to work at the age of 15. He became a clerk in a law firm, then a shorthand reporter in the courts.In 1833, Dickens began to write short stories. He published the PickwickPapersin 1836, and in the same year married Catherine. Within several months, Dickens became internationally popular. He left his position as a newspaper reporter and became editor of a monthly magazine.Dickens finished OliverTwistin 1837. Beginning with AChristmasCarolin 1843, Dickens began to publish annual Christmas stories. Later, Dickens actively fought for social issues in the community and began to directly address social issues in his novels. He finished HardTimes(1854), ATaleofTwoCities(1859), and GreatExpectations(1860-1861). His works had always reflected the pains of the common people, but works such as BleakHouse(1852-1853) and OurMutualFriend(1864-1865) expressed his progressing anger and disappointment at society.In 1858, Dickens began a series of paid readings, which became instantly popular. The readings often left him exhausted and ill although they satisfied his biggest wish to communicate with the audience. In 1860 he divorced Catherine. He was forced to give up his reading tours due to his declining health and died suddenly at home on June 9, 1870.68. Dickens’ family fell into debt probably because ________.A. it was impossible to support such a big familyB. his father had expensive spending habitsC. his father didn’t earn much as a clerkD. most of his father’s salary was spent on gambling69. What job was Dickens doing when he first became well-known?A. A clerk in a law firm.B. A shorthand reporter in the courts.C. An editor of a magazine.D. A newspaper reporter.70.

The mission of this organization is to promote the Olympic sports training and practice for people who are mentally disabled, to provide them with continuous opportunities of psychic and physical development, to encourage them to demonstrate (表现) courage and capacity and to motivate them to be happy with their families, their friends and the whole community.The Special Olympics were officially born in 1968, on the occasion of the first International Games held in Chicago, Illinois. They were founded by Eunice Kennedy, in 1960, who organized sports and games specially for disabled people. Mrs Kennedy felt that these people were more capable of physical activities than experts thought.About 3% of the world population are mentally disabled. Around 60% of them have a light mental deficiency (缺陷), 30% have a moderate deficiency and 10% have a serious and deep deficiency.Down’s syndrome (唐氏综合症) is the most common mental deficiency. One child in 600 is affected by it and it results in a moderate and serious deficiency. But they can live, with the correct support, fully utilizing their psychic and physical potential. This certainty is a guideline for the Special Olympics.The Special Olympics’ oath is: Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.The Special Olympics’ aim is to give people with a mental deficiency the possibility to become social useful inhabitants. Then they are accepted, appreciated and respected by the whole community.The Special Olympics believe that competition between people who have roughly the same abilities is the best way for them to test their athletic capabilities and progress.73. Which of the following is NOT part of the mission of the Special Olympics?A. To give the disabled opportunities to develop their minds and bodies.B. To encourage the disabled to show their courage and capacity.C. To make the disabled willing to be happy with other people.D. To help the disabled become much stronger and cleverer.74.

When Nueng was only three months old, his father went back to the USA. When he grew up, Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado.It was just another day on the job until he noticed the name of one man who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and stared at the man. Could this man be his father?“Are you John Garcia?” he asked.“Yes,” came the answer.“Were you ever in the Air Force?”“Yes.”“Were you ever in Thailand?”“What’s that to do with you?” answered the man, who became suspicious.“Were you or were you not?” Nueng persisted.“Yes.”“Did you have a son?”This truth began to dawn on the old man. He and the clerk realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.John Garcia hadn’t seen his son since 1969, because Pratom Semon, Nueng’s mother, did not want to leave her homeland for the United States at that time. He continued to write and send checks to his son’s mother after he left Thailand. Years later, Pratom Semon was seeing another man, so she put a stop to John Garcia’scorrespondence.He said he never went to that gas station, wasn’t even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check. He did not even know why he stopped for gas. His newfound 27-year-old son put his arms around the man who was once a stranger and said, “Dad...I’m glad you stopped.” As for their plans now, Nueng said: “Twenty-seven years is a long period —we’re catching up.”36.

Nueng Garcia once served in the US Air Force in Thailand.B. Nueng Garcia never gave up his efforts to find his father but in vain.C. John Garcia went to that gas station before but never paid with a check.D. It was the same surname that attracted Nueng Garcia’s attention.38. What can we infer from the passage?A. Nueng came to the USA to find his father.B. John Garcia met his son in 1996.C. Nueng G arcia’s parents divorced when he was young.D. John Garcia abandoned his wife and son in 1969.39. The underlined part means that the old man began to _______ the truth.A. knowB. doubtC. coverD. refuse40. Which can be the best title for this passage?A. Dad and his lost sonB. Never give up and there will be a miracleC. Dad, son united after 27 yearsD. The love story between Dad and sonB“How do I love thee, let me count the ways.” These words, penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are some of the most widely-known love lyrics in Victorian English poetry.Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6, 1806. Browning was privately educated and spent much of her childhood in the country. It was a very happy childhood until Browning became seriously ill at age 15.In 1832, Browning moved with her family to Sidmouth, Devon and then several years later to London. In 1833, Browning’s translation of Prometheus Bound (《被束缚的普罗米修斯》) received high praise. After moving to London, Browning began to publish her own writings. Her first collection entitled The Seraphim and Other Poems waspublished in 1838, and her second volume Poems was published in 1844, which included an introduction written by Edgar Allan Poe.In 1845, Browning received a telegram from the poet Robert Browning. The telegram read “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett—and I love you too.” The two met several months later and fell in love. During this period Browning composed her famous Sonnets (十四行诗) from the Portuguese, which was published in 1850.Shortly after their marriage, Elizabeth and Robert departed for Pisa, Italy and ultimately settled in Florence. In Italy, Browning regained her health and in 1849 gave birth to the couple’s only chil d, Robert Wiedemann Barrett. The Brownings lived in Florence in the next 15 years, with occasional visits to London. During this period, she produced her most ambitious work entitled Aurora Leigh. The poem is a love story that defends a woman’s right to in tellectual freedom.Elizabeth Barrett Browning died on June 29, 1861 in Florence. She is chiefly remembered for her love poems, although Aurora Leigh has recently received new appreciation.41. What do we know about Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s education?A. She received much formal education.B. She was taught at home.C. She was poorly educated.D. She only went to school at her village.42. Browning had her own writings published when _______.A. she was living in the countrysideB. she was in LondonC. she was doing the translation of Prometheus BoundD. she met her would-be husband43.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning is mainly remembered for _______.A. her love with a famous poetB. the fight for women’s rightsC. her love poemsD. the style of her poems45. We may infer from the passage that Elizabeth Barrett Browning _______.A. suffered from poor health all her lifeB. was much influenced by her husbandC. stopped her writing after she got marriedD. may have enjoyed her family lifeCSurveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.One reason for this is biology. Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep earlier and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning. As a result, many students go to class feeling like Danny. Danny is an active teen —except in the morning. “Getting up in the morning is pretty ter rible. I’m just very out of it and tired. In the first and second period I can barely stay awake,” he said.Michael Breus, a psychologist, says, “Teens need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night. Sleepy teens can experience a form of depression that could have big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.”So what can schools do about sleepy students? The psychologist suggests that one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning. Studies show that students can improve a lot in their first- and second-period classes.Eric Peterson is the head of St. George’s School in the northeastern part of Rhode Island. He wanted to see if a thirty-minute delay would make a difference. It did. He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half. Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third. And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day. Eric Peterson knows that changing the start time is easier at a small, private boarding school like his. But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.46. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to _______.A. children’s getting up lateB. c hildren’s staying upC. children’s not getting enough sleepD. time children need for sleeping47. According to the text we can learn that Eric Peterson _______.A. runs a private boarding schoolB. made the survey all by himselfC. is strict with the studentsD. needs more sleep48. Michael Breus thinks that _______.A. teens’ lack of sleep can lead to bad resultsB. teens should not get up lateC. depression is common in teensD. the first class should be cut off49. The last paragraph tells us _______.A. it’s not easy for Eric Peterson to change the start timeB. Eric Peterson visits the health center every dayC. the students aren’t late for school any moreD. students in St. George’s School can get up later than their peers50. What can we infer from the text?A. Danny is a lazy boy.B. The psychologist has no idea to solve the problem.C. Enough sleep makes a healthy and active student.D. American teens are all in bad conditions.DTowns and cities around the globe have embraced the use of renewable energy. Most of the time, you’ll hear about people switching to solar or wind power, but the Oregon town of Klamath Falls is one of the few towns that use geothermal (地热) power for everything imaginable.The geothermal power of Klamath Falls is used to heat buildings, greenhouses and provide lighting for the local college campus. They are also looking to expand their geothermal use beyond heat and towards electricity, too.The use of geothermal energy is practically unknown — it only makes up 0.5% of the United States’ entire energy production. However, it has extreme potential. A 2007 survey conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimated that EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) could produce 100 gigawatts (千兆瓦) of electricity by 2050. That amount of output is equal to 1,000 coal-fired or nuclear power plants.Although there is huge potential for the use of geothermal energy, it also has its drawbacks. For one, it can be difficult to find the 3 natural components (成分) needed to use geothermal energy all in one place. Those 3 things are: water, hot rock close to the surface, and cracks (裂缝) in the rock that can act as a reservoir (水库).One way EGS can be used is by drilling thousands of feet into the earth until you reach hot rock. Water is then pumped down to the rock in order to create cracks and reservoirs. Once the cracks are created, more water can be sent down one area and it will come up through another well as hot water or steam. This hot water or steam will cause a turbine(涡轮) to spin, thus generating electricity.51. The Oregon town of Klamath Falls intends to _______ in the future.A. heat buildings with geothermal powerB. export geothermal power to other parts of the countryC. power the lights of college campus in the townD. make electricity with geothermal power52. We can learn from the third paragraph that _______.A. geothermal energy is widely used in the USAB. geothermal energy has great potentialC. it is not economic to make electricity with geothermal energyD. the US falls behind other countries in using geothermal energy53.

There is no way you can ever do it. If you 25this paper with a more realistic goal I will reconsider your grade.”The boy went home and thought about it 26and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to 27your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important 28for you.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the 29 paper. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 30.”“The 31part of the story is that two summers ago the same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” Monty went on with the story, “When the teacher was 32 he said, ‘Monty, I can tell you this now.

Hawaii, however, skips fall. With only two true seasons, summer and winter, Maui is the perfect fall getaway destination.Family is incredibly important to the Hawaiian people, and they are wonderfully welcoming and hospitable. There are many wonderful festivals and events that allow us to experience the Hawaiian culture through food, dance and music.September brings the Maui county fair, celebrating Hawaiian culture past and present, with wonderful family entertainment and attractions. This four-day event is a great way to meet the locals and experience Hawaii from their viewpoint.The Aloha Festivals also take place during September and October. Each week a different Island hosts this celebration of Hawaiian culture. It is a great opportunity to learn about Hawaii now and in the past.There is no better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than dining outside, under a blanket of twinkling stars. In Maui there is so much to be thankful for. A Thanksgiving Luau (夏威夷式宴会) adds great fun to your family’s celebration. Thanksgiving is the time when families come together and celebrate all that they are thankful for. Maui provides the perfect location and background.With such natural beauty and splendor (壮观) it is a world away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It is the perfect place and time to relax and enjoy life with those who mean the most to you.36. We learn from the first paragraph that .A. Hawaii is in the Northern HemisphereB. the fall season is very short in HawaiiC. there are four seasons in MauiD. there is no fall season in Hawaii37. The Maui county fair is a four-day event on which people can .A. buy the necessary things for everyday lifeB. experience Hawaiian cultureC. learn about the views of the Hawaiian peopleD. only learn about the history of Hawaii38. People in Hawaii usually have Luau on .A. the Maui county fairB. the Aloha FestivalsC. Christmas DayD. Thanksgiving Day39. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us .A. how many seasons Hawaii hasB. Maui is the perfect fall getaway destinationC. the culture and customs in HawaiiD. how we should go to Maui for a holiday40. The underlined part “hustle and bustle” in the last pa ragraph probably refers to .A. a busy and noisy stateB. great convenienceC. a heavy burdenD. trouble or dangerBAbout 1450, European scholars (学者) became more interested in studying the world around them. Their art became more true to life. They began to explore new lands. The new age in Europe was eventually called “the Renaissance”. The Renaissance is a French word that means “rebirth”. Historians consider the Renaissance to be the beginning of modern history.The Renaissance began in Northern Italy and then spread through Europe. Italian cities such as Naples, Genoa, and Venice became centers of trade between Europe and the Middle East. Arab scholars preserved the writings of the ancient Greeks in their libraries. When the Italian cities traded with the Arabs, ideas were exchanged alongwith goods. These ideas, preserved from the ancient past, served as the basis of the Renaissance.The Renaissance was much more than simply studying the work of ancient scholars. It influenced painting, sculpture, and architecture. Paintings became more realistic and focused less often on religious topics. Artists advanced the Renaissance style of showing nature and describing the feelings of people. In Britain, there was a flowering in literature and drama (戏剧) that included the plays of William Shakespeare.Many Renaissance scholars looked to the past for inspiration. They studied the classics — the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Today we refer to the study of literature, philosophy andart as the humanities(人文学科). Humanists believed that by studying the classics, they could understand people and the world better. The humanists emphasized the importance of human values instead of religious beliefs. The civilizations of Greece and Rome ended long ago, but they continue to influence us today.41. The Renaissance first started in .A. ItalyB. EuropeC. the Middle EastD. Greece42. We can infer from the second paragraph that .A. the writings of the ancient Greeks were only kept in GreeceB. Arab scholars didn’t value the writings of the ancient GreeksC. the Middle East was not influenced by the RenaissanceD. Arab scholars contributed to the beginning of the Renaissance43. Before the Renaissance, the theme of paintings was .A. natureB. peopleC. realityD. religion44. What do we know about William Shakespeare’s plays?A. They were not focused on people’s feelings.B. They were greatly influenced by the Renaissance.C. They were not true to life.D. They were full of religious ideas.45. Humanists studied the classics in order to .A. improve their own worksB. question the religious beliefsC. understand people and the world betterD. carry on the spirit of ancient GreeceCFor the first time, a link has been shown between climate change and the timing of a natural event — the appearance of the common brown butterfly.Although there have been strong connections between climate warming and changes in the timing of events such as birds traveling from one place to another and flowering, it has been hard to show a cause-and-effect link. This is what Michael Kearney and Natalie Briscoe of the University of Melbourne, Australia, have now done.The researchers examined temperature (温度) changes in Melbourne (where the butterfly is common) and the recorded observations of the first brown butterfly to be seen in spring since the 1940s. With each of the past ten years, the butterflies appeared 1.6 days earlier and Melbourne heated by 0.14 ℃. On the whole, the butterfly now appears on average 10.4 days before it did in the 1940s.They were confident in such a relationship for two reasons. First, they placed eggs of the butterfly in special boxes where temperature could be controlled and found that each larval stage (幼虫期) had a different reaction to warmer-than-normal conditions. The egg, which is laid in late summer, and the first larval stage do well at high temperatures. The second to the fifth stagesoccurring in winter can’t s urvive high temperatures. The knock-on effect is that the larval pupated (化蛹) earlier and the butterfly comes out sooner. Second, they made a mathematical model linking these effects of temperature on development with climate data. The model closely matched the observed changes in butterfly appearance date.The researchers used several climate models to find out what was likely to have caused the rise in Melbourne’s temperature, and ruled out the possibility that natural weather events could explain the warming.46. What is the text mainly talking about?A. An introduction to a natural event in Melbourne.B. A discussion of the effects of temperature rises.C. A study on climate change and animal behaviors.D. A science report about butterflies’ living habits.47. What is the relationship between the rise in temperature and the butterfly appearance?A. They are linked in a complex way.B. They are related in a cause-and-effect way.C. They have direct relationship with each other.D. They have no connection with each other.48. The researchers were confident about their finding because .A. they had used the most advanced equipment in the worldB. their finding got support from the recorded observationsC. the result of their study is based on several experimentsD. their experiment proved their previous guessing49. The underlined part “The knock-on effect” in Paragraph 4 means .A. the effect caused by the thing that happened beforeB. the effect of things that happen at the same timeC. the effect of one thing directly causing the otherD. the effect of one thing indirectly causing the other50. What can be inferred from the text?A. The exact reason for Melbourne’s temperature rise is still unknown.B. Climate models cannot exactly show climate change in history.C. The timing of the butterfly appearance will be earlier with increased warming.D. The rise in temperature decides the possibility of natural weather events.DNatural disasters are nature’s anger, which can upset e ven the most developed countries and make them into ruins. There is nothing we can do to stop such disasters happening. In that case it is quite possible that we are all short of electricity, water, food, etc. The basic necessities to be stored for times of disasters are explained below.Drinking water is a must for any human to survive. It has to be stored based on the number of people in the household. A normal human would consume a gallon of water a day. Food is an important requirement. Especially in times of disasters, our bodies would be weak. Rich food is very important in such times of danger. Food like dry fruits would be ideal as they last long and give us energy. A First Aid Kit and basic medicines are a must and do remember to store some of them. Certain basic things such as scissors and soaps would be handy. It is a good idea to have a radio to be updated with the ongoing news.An Earthquake Preparedness Kit would be of great help in fighting against an earthquake in the places where earthquakes take place very often. However, this can happen anywhere in the world so it is a must and should be well equipped in advance. There are wind storms that can leave behind a trail of destruction. The US has suffered from many tornadoes. Taking steps in advance to handle such unforeseen circumstances (情况) is a must. It is a good idea to plan an ideal place which would be helpful in protecting you and your family from the storm. Floods and other natural disasters probably happen unexpectedly someday, so we need to make preparations for them.Do take steps in advance. Being well prepared is the only way that would help us recover from such disasters.51. From the first paragraph we can learn that natural disasters .A. can’t be prevented by manB. can be controlled by humansC. can take place more oftenD. will ruin the earth someday52. Which kind of food is most suitable for storing according to the author?A. Meat and fish.B. Some dry fruit.C. Cakes and bread.D. Apples and pears.53. What is the main reason why a radio is needed?A. It is easy for you to carry one.B. It plays music to make you relax.C. It is very cheap and common.D. It lets you know the latest news.54. What is the good way to deal with tornadoes according to the author?A. Staying outside of your house with your family.B. Planning a safe place for all your family to stay at.C. Storing enough water for you and your family.D. Preparing an Earthquake Preparedness Kit earlier.55. In this passage the author mainly tells readers to .A. fight against natural disasters with their family bravelyB. keep calm in the circumstances of natural disastersC. prepare necessities for natural disasters ahead of timeD. take steps to reduce the damage of natural disasters四、书面表达(共两节, 满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)Scientists are continuing to look for better ways to fight against malaria(疟疾) which can spread very fast by mosquitoes. It is reported that every year about a million people die of malaria, most of whom are in Africa, causing great economic losses at the same time.George is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute. He says forty-two percent of the earth’s population is now at the risk of suffering from malaria. It is known that the majority of people that are killed by malaria are children because their bodies are not strong enough to ward off the infection of the disease.Recently the researchers have developed a way to make genetic changes in mosquitoes which are known to spread malaria. The changes cause their systems to kill the germs (病菌) of malaria instead of spreading them. Meanwhile, scientists are working hard to develop new drugs to deal with malaria.Now a new vaccine (疫苗) is in final testing. So far it has proved effective at preventing the disease from spreading. Today most people are fighting against malaria by using insecticides (杀虫剂) to kill mosquitoes. However, this method may cause pollution to the environment. And George says malaria needs to be attacked with drugs, with vaccines, with bed nets—with whatever researchers can find. No single method can control this disease. Professor George says there is still a long way to go. Anyway, we are making progress in our fighting against this terrible disease.56. What is the best title of the passage? (No more than 8 words)57. What are the bad effects caused by malaria every year according to the passage? (No more than 8 words)58. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ____. (No more than 2 words)59. How should people fight against malaria according to George? (No more than 6 words)60. Which way mentioned in the passage is the best one to deal with malaria in your opinion? Why? (No more than 30 words)第二节写作(满分30分)假设你是李华,你校邀请专家进行了一次关于自然灾害的知识讲座。

But three out of four girls said that fashion is “really important” to them.“The fashion industry remains a powerful influence on girls and the way they view themselves and their bodies,” said Kimberlee Salmond, a senior researcher at the Girl Scout Research Institute. “Teenage girls take cues (榜样) about how they shouldlook from models they see in fashion magazines and on TV and it is something that they struggle to reconcile with (使相符) when they look at themselves in the mirror,” she said.More than 80 percent of teen girls said they would rather see natural photos of models rather than pictures that had been digitally altered or enhanced. Other top influences on body perceptions, aside from celebrities and models, are peers, friends and parents, the poll showed.One in three girls said they have starved themselves or refused to eat in an effort to lose weight, while almost half said they knew someone of their age who has forced herself to throw up after eating. More than a third said they know someone who has been diagnosed (诊断) with an eating disorder.41.

Brazil got its name froma kind of reddish tree, a native of this land, which was sold in Europe. Salvador da Bahia was founded in 1549 and became the capital city of the new Portuguese colony. Portuguese settlers started to produce sugar and the northeast of Brazil became a wealthy corner. During that time, Portugal brought in millions of black slaves to work in its sugar factories. However, the Dutch started to produce sugar in the Caribbean islands too and the Brazilian monopoly (垄断) declined. After that, the Portuguese crown centered its interest in the south portion of Brazil. The southern regions had been settled by missionaries (传教士) and Native American culture was still strong in many aspects. In the 18th century, many Portuguese started to explore the remote areas. Gold was discovered in Minas Gerais and Vila Rica (Ouro Preto's former name) became one of the richest cities. Rio de Janeiro became the port from which gold was transported to Portugal. In 1763 the Portuguese decided to move Brazil’s capital city from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro. In the 19th century, when Napoleon invaded Portugal, the royal family moved to Brazil and Rio became the capital city of the Portuguese Empire. When the king returned to Portugal, Brazilians didn’t want their land to be a colony anymore and declared their independence in 1822. The country became an Empire for 67 years, when the last Emperor abdicated after many years of old-fashioned, unprogressive government. At the same time, lots of European immigrants were crossing the ocean to find a job in the coffee market. In 1889 Brazil became a republic. In 1960 Brazilians moved the national government from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília, a modern planned city that was built to be the capital of Brazil. Nowadays Brazil is the most powerful country in South America and one of the most important nations in the world.46. What made the city of Vila Rica become wealthy?A. Coffee plantations.B. Goldmine.C. Slave trade.D. Sugar industry.47. The underlined word “abdicated” can be replaced by “______”.A. succeededB. was respectedC. gave up powerD. settled48. Which of the following cities was not made the capital of Brazil?A. Vila Rica.B. Rio de Janeiro.C. Salvador da Bahia.D. Brasília.49. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Brazil used to have plenty of reddish treesB. Vila Rica and Ouro Preto are different citiesC. Native Americans made a fortune out of black slaves’ laborD. the northeast of Brazil retain the Dutch colonial atmosphere50. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. encourage us to travel to BrazilB. introduce how Brasilia was builtC. find out why Brazilians moved the capitalD. tell some information about Brazil’s historyDThe first-known hunters in North America can now be dated back at least 14,000 years.“I am sure that especiall y the Native Americans are pleased with the results of the study. It is further proof that humans have been present in North America for longer than previously believed. The ‘Clovis First’ theory, which many scientists swore to just a few years back, has finally been buried with the conclusions of this study,” says Professor Eske Willerslev, director of the Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen.It is the finding of a tip from a man-made projectile (抛射物) gathered from the remains of a mastodon (乳齿象) that is behind the rewriting of North American prehistory. The projectile, which itself was carved out from a mastodon bone, was found at the Manis site in the state of Washington when archaeologists excavated(掘出) a mastodon in the late 1970s.However, 30 years would pass before a team of researchers was able to put a date on the projectile and establish the identity of both the bone and the projectile. This was done through, amongst other things, DNA analysis, advanced computer technology, Carbon-14 dating as well as comparisons with other mastodon findings in North America, for instance in the state of Wisconsin.The first traces of the hunt for mastodons in North America have previously been attributed to the so-called Clovis culture. Clovis culture dates back about 13,000 years and is viewed as a type of common culture ancestral for all Native American tribes in North America.“Our research now shows that other hunters were present at least 1,000 years prior to the Clovis culture. Therefore, it was not a sudden war or a quick slaughtering (屠杀) of the mastodons by the Clovis culture that made the species disappear. We can now conclude that the hunt for the animals stretched out over a much longer period of time. At this time, however, we do not know if it was the man-made hunt for the mastodons, mammoths and other large animals that caused them to become extinct and disappear. Maybe the reason was something completely different, for instance the climate,” states Professor Eske Willerslev.51. What has helped make the new discovery about North American hunters?A. The remains of the mastodon.B. The fossil of the mastodon.C. The “Clovis First” theory.D. The tool used by the hunters.52. What can we learn about the study based on the projectile?A. Its date wasn’t decided until thirty years later.B. The discovery of a new projectile led to the result.C. The researchers found the date on the projectile.D. It supports Clovis culture with new proofs.53. What is still uncertain about is ______.A. where the first North America hunters came fromB. the date of the first hunters in North AmericaC. what has caused the mastodons to disappearD. how the ancient northern Americans hunted54. The passage tends to tell the readers that “Clovis First” theory ______.A. has been widely received nowB. has been greatly challengedC. is the base of the discoveryD. is regarded as North Americans’ pride55. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?A. To instruct.B. To advertise.C. To share.D. To amuse.四、书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

It defines the noun as “a low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector.”The word first appeared two decades ago in The Washington Post, according to the dictionary. But executives at Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald’s say the definition is demeaning to its workers and say they’ll ask dictionary editors to amend the definition.“Dictionaries are supposed to be models of accuracy. And in this case, they got it completely wrong,” said Walt Riker, a McDonald’s spokesman. “It’s a harmful action and incredibly demeaning to a terrific workforce and a company that’s been a job and opportunity machine for 50 years.”In 2003, editors at the Merriam-Webster Dictionary refused to remove or change their definition of “McJob”after McDonald’s balked(妨碍)at its inclusion(包括)in the book’s 11th edition. Instead, the Springfield, Mass. publisher said the word was accurate and appropriate.Amanda Pierce, a spokeswoman for McDonald’s U.K. operations, refused to comment on the details of the company’s new est campaign, but said it will kick off in May with the goal of changing what she called an “out-of-date” definition.She said she did not know how long the campaign would last, saying that depended on “how far and wide the campaign goes.”36. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, McJob means _____.A. a job with few futuresB. a job with high payC. a job with great rewardsD. a job with great potential37. McDonald’s Corp. will launch a campaign in the U.K. with the purpose of _____.A. excluding McJob from the dictionaryB. changing the definition of McJobC. promoting new productsD. expanding its service sector38. In the opinion of Walt Riker, the current definition of McJob is _____.A. ridiculousB. incorrectC. appropriateD. updated39. Which is the best title of the passage?A. How McJob came into being?B. McJob = a job with few prospectsC. McDonald’s Corp. seeks to redefine “McJob”D. The Oxford English Dictionary refused to change the definition of McJob40. What does the underlined word “demeaning”mean in the passage?A. Making people have less respect for.B. Wonderful.C. Horrible.D. Making people pay attention to.BOlympic volunteer hopefuls from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan stand a better chance if they are bilingual(能使用两种语言的).Priority(优先权)will be given to applicants who have “special skills”and can speak languages other than English and Chinese.“We expect those people from above-mentioned areas, who are qualified for being a volunteer, to put in an applica tion,” Liu Jian, office director of Beijing Olympic Games Volunteer Work Coordination Group, said.Liu made the remarks on March 28, 2007 at a press conference to officially launch the volunteer recruitment(招募)drive from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and foreign countries for the 2008 Games.Volunteer requirements can be found at the official website , or by calling the hotline on 8610-12308.Recruitment for volunteers in Beijing began on August 28, 2006. In areas outside the capital, it began on January 19 this year.To date, more than 400,000 people have sent in applications, more than 270,000 of them from Beijing.“According to the latest application results, we still need a lot of volunteers with foreign language skills other than Engli sh,” Li Binghua, executive vice-president of BOCOG, said.Of course, these applicants must be able to communicate with other people in Chinese Putonghua, he said.Volunteers will mainly be contracted in eight fields depending on their skills including VIP guest liaison and language services, driving, media services, competition organization, medical treatment, and security examination.The application websites are .hk (Hong Kong), www. sport. gov. mo (Macao), (Taiwan), (overseas Chinese), and (foreigners).Applications in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and foreign countries will conclude by the end of March 2008.

At this point, I think our tiredness was blocked out by our excitement as we quickly made ourway through the customs (海关)line.In no time we were rolling along towards downtown London and Victoria Station. It was fascinating when we are listening to all of the different languages and accents (口音)of the other travelers on the train. We were pleased to see how nice the hotel and our room were. We were starting to feel the effects of getting no sleep, so we each took a shower. We were determined to stay awake all day so we could get on our new sleep schedule.We hiked up to the street and wandered around Leichester Square, finally ending up at a nice little pub. We got cheese and salad filled with pork and apples. They were messy, but delicious. We decided to keep moving to avoid getting more sleepy. We noticed that the London Eye was right across the river—Thames, so we crossed the bridge and walked under this enormous Ferris wheel (大转轮). It’s much larger than it appears in pictures or on television. We had somehow lost our London guide book.Back in our room, we were dangerously close to falling asleep, so we decided to get coffee outside our hotel. The coffee revived us, so we walked down to Hyde Park to enjoy the nice weather and watch the sun begin to set. At last we headed back to the hotel. We were worn out, but very happy to be in London.46.

The city’s residents live in hydrogen-powered hover (盘旋) vehicles, and renewable energy resources provide the city’s power. That’s how Jake Bowers, 12, Emily Ponti, 14, and Krisha Sherburne, 12, envisioned their future city.The students took first place for their design last week in the 2007 National Engineer Week Future City Competition held in Washington, D.C. The students won a trip to the U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.Kids from 35 middle schools across the country made it to Washington. They had teamed up with teachers and volunteer engineers to develop cities. Each team began by creating a fictional cityon SimCity 3000, a computer game that allows players to construct towns. The students then built a tabletop (桌面) model of the city, wrote an essay and presented their creation to a panel (小组) of judges. This year’s theme asked students to design fuel cell powered communities. Fuel cell technology works by using hydrogen and oxygen to produce power. The process is environmentally friendly.Organizers hope the competition provides a funny and educational way to arose young people’s interest in engineering. “As the number of graduates in engineering decreases (减少), it’s even more important to encourage students to build these skills at an early age,”says John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company. Shell is a sponsor (赞助商) of the annual Future City contest.Judging by this year’s competition, plenty of kid s are getting the message. Some 30,000 students from more than 1,000 schools took part in the 2006-2007 Future City Competition.51. The underlined word “envisioned” means “”.A. builtB. imaginedC. describedD. predicted52.

The report of an engineering competition.四、书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)Many people believe that Americans love their cars almost more than anything else. It may be true. From the time youngsters(小孩)become fourteen years old, they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their last year of high school in order to buy a car learning to drive and getting a driver’s license may be one of the most exciting times of a young person’s life.People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick will take their cars to a repairman at the first sign of a problem. Those who do not like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing(打蜡) their cars. For some families it is not enough to have one car. They often have two or three---one for work and one for recreation(娱乐)。

The famous Everglades, a slow-moving sheet of water full of plants and alligators(鳄鱼), covers much of the southern partof the state. To the north, the Okefenokee, which is partly in Florida and mostly in neighboring Georgia, is a true swamp with its own alligators and snakes.It was formed when waters from an ancient ocean drew back and a large sandbar(沙洲) blocked most of the water flow to the sea.There is no big city within 200 kilometers, but tourists from all over the world manage to find it. They all want to know about its unusual name. Okefenokee is a Miccosukee Indian word meaning land of trembling(颤抖的) earth. Way back in the swamp are small, floating(漂浮的) islands, which one can walk across. And they tremble. Standing on them is like trying to balance on a floating mattress(床垫).The Okefenokee, which is already nearly filled with plants, would probably dry up and become just another forest if it were not for the fires that come along from time to time. So the water in this protected National Wildlife Refuge keeps moving — slowly, very slowly.36. From the passage, the Okefenokee is .A. a forestB. a swampC. an oceanD. a snake37. According to the passage, the famous Everglades lies .A. mainly in GeorgiaB. in the north of FloridaC. to the south of the OkefenokeeD. near the National Wildlife Refuge38.

The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. where the Okefenokee liesB. what the size of the Okefenokee isC. how the floating islands come into beingD. how the Okefenokee gets its special name40. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The Okefenokee’s alligators attract many tourists.B. Hammocks tremble but do not move.C. Fires prevent the Okefenokee from drying up.D. Florida and Georgia cover 1,800 square kilometers in total.BA thirteen-year-old boy from California has become the youngest person ever to climb to the top of Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰) as part of his goal to climb the highest mountains on all seven continents.At all of 13 years old, Jordan Romero, from Big Bear, California, has already climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro in Africa and has prepared for Mount Everest since then.On Saturday 22nd May, 2010 Jordan reached the 29,035-foot top, his spokesperson told the Associated Press (美联社) via a satellite phone. On Jordan’s blog earlier in the day he’d said, “Every step I take is finally toward the biggest goal of my life, to stand on the top of the world”, and a statement on the blog from his spokesperson said that after they reached the summit “everyone sounded unbelievably happy” .Jordan Romero has been climbing the highest mountains in the world with his father and three guides. His mother watched them via GPS at home. “I’m just very proud of him,” she said in a telephone interview wi th the Associated Press.Jordan’s achievement has been hailed by well-wishers around the world, including the famous sports website that celebrated his Kilimanjaro climb in 2006 as an example to other children “to get their own amazing achievements”. The old record was held by Temba Sheri of Nepal who climbed to the top of the mountain in 2001, at age 16.Ambitious (雄心勃勃的) teenagers have become the source of some disagreements inrecent months as questions are raised about the physical and mental health (身心健康) of children when trying to take an adventure to make a record.41. Jordan’s desire is to climb .A. the highest mountains in the USAB. the highest mountains on all seven continentsC. the steepest mountains all over the worldD. one of the highest mountains in the world42.

Jordan had already climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro44. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?A. People had different attitudes towards Jordan’s adventure.B. Jordan’s parents didn’t support Jordan in achieving his goal.C. is one of the websites about climbing mountains.D. The media paid little attention to Jordan’s adventure.45. What Jordan Romero’s story impresses us most is the fact that .A. he has so strong a will that he never gives inB. he has great determination to conquer all the highest mountainsC. he is the youngest person on the highest mountainsD. he is so lucky to travel all over the worldCJust after Anthony was born, he had a life-threatening illness. Anthony’s mom, Laurie, found out about Kids Wish Network through their social worker at the hospital. She decided to refer her 5-year-old son for a wish. At first, Anthony said he wanted to build a time machine to travel back in time and see the dinosaurs. Of course it was not possible; instead, he traveled to the Smithsonian Institution in D.C. to see dinosaur bones. Soon after referring her son, Laurie was on the phone with wish coordinator(协调者) Vanessa, making plans for Anthony’s wish.“Anthony talked about it for a week nonstop,” said Laurie. “He told the checkout(结账) people at all the stores we went to and the garbage man who came toour house that he was going to see dinosaur bones.”Laurie said that Anthony has been interested in dinosaurs for quite some time now and it all started with a trip to a bookstore. “It just used to be cars that he liked and all of a sudden it turned to dinosaurs. He picked up a book about dinosaurs and that was it,” she said.With the help of wish funding specialist Donna, Vanessa got to work and planned the whole trip for Anthony and his parents. A round-trip flight, car transportation, hotel stay, various dinner arrangements, a visit to The National Zoo, a trip to the Smithsonian and the National Air and Space Museum and even spending money was arranged for the family. Laurie said the family had a great time.“The whole tr ip was wonderful. It was a dream come true for Anthony and anything that makes him happy makes us happy,” Laurie said.46.

Kids Wish Network was founded by VanessaDStreet art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on buildings, sidewalks (人行道) and street signs from Tokyo to Paris.Art experts say that the movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other images (图案) on wallsand train cars (火车车厢) around the city. One well-known street artist is Swoon. She cuts out paper images of people and puts them on walls. Swoon didn’t start her career as a street artist. She studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries. The people in New York enjoy Swoon’s strong and interesting style.Street artists do their work for a reason. Some of them choose street art because it is closer to the people. Some artists try to express their political opinions in their works. Advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements because it gives the impression of youth and energy. The New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue recently used a street artist’s design for their shop windows and shopping bags.In today’s world the Internet has a big influence on street art. A rtists can show their pictures to the audience all over the world. Many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. Street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.51.

I’m going to make a special surprise for you tonight.‖Mama gave them carrots for breakfast and told them to get to work.

CMother Teresa was born in 1910. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God. At theage of eighteen, she left her home. After a few months’ training in Dublin she was sent to India, where from 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at a high school in Calcutta, but the poor life of the people outside the school made her leave the school and work among the poorest of the poor. For she didn’t have enough money, she started an open-air school for the children in that area. Soon she got many students who were willing to learn in her school. Later, she got some money and support from the government, which made her go further.On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa started a society called The Missionaries of Charity, whose task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the society became an international family of poor people.As time passed by, the society has spread all over the world. They provide help to the poor people in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they do some needed work in some natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes. The society also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the homeless people.Mother Teresa’s work has been known and honored throughout the world and she became famous quickly, meeting with Princess Diana and many other famous public persons. In 1979 Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize. Even today she is remembered by many people.44. Why did Mother Teresa leave school to work in other areas?A. She wanted to set an example to more teachers.B. She got the order from the government.C. She wanted to improve the life of the poor people.D. She wanted to experience something different.45.

Which of the following people will most probably get help from the society?A. The old.B. The sick.C. The injured.D. The homeless.47. The author writes this text mainly to ______.A. tell us Mother Teresa is a great womanB. tell us Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace PrizeC. give us some information about Mother TeresaD. prove that a woman can also do great work for the poorDScientists recently found three kinds of animals living two miles at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea (地中海). Their small bodies have many cells — each about the size of a largesand —but they are animals. The most exciting thing about these creatures, is that they don’t seem to need oxygen to live.What biologists know about life so far is that only one-celled(单细胞) animals can live in places that have no oxygen, and those animals who have many cells can visit these places, but cannot live there. These newly-found creatures could change that idea.The animals live in a super-salty lake under the Mediterranean Sea. It may seem strange to think of a lake under the sea, but the water in the lake is so salty that it can’t mix (混合) with the seawater above it, and the water in the lake is even saltier than normal seawater. Ordinary seawater has oxygen in it —which allows animals like fish to live —but the water in the lake doesn’t have oxygen.Finding animals down there was surprising. The scientists at first thought they were the bodies of dead animals floating (漂浮) into the lake from somewhere else. But later they found ―these dead bodies‖ appeared to be alive. Some of these animals had eggs, which suggests they were reproducing (繁殖); and their old skins suggest that they had lived there long enough to grow. But scientists still don’t know how the animals live without oxygen. More studies are needed, and maybe biologists will need to rethink (重新考虑) what they know about animals.48. At the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, the scientists found .A. many one-celled animalsB. three kinds of living animalsC. some dead animal bodiesD. animals that look like fish49. What is special about the super-salty lake?A.The lake water doesn’t mix up with the seawater above.B. Animals with many cells began to live in the lake.C. The water in the lake has much more oxygen.D. The water in the lake has differernt colours.50. The underlined word ―it‖ in Paragraph 3 probably refers to .A. the Mediterranean SeaB. oxygenC. normal seawaterD. the water in the super-salty lake51. What can we infer from the text?A. The lake under the Mediterranean attracts many visitors.B. The animals in the super-salty lake catch scientists’ attention.C. One-celled animals may lay eggs to reproduce.D. More animals can be found in the super-salty lake.EResearchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a new way of gaining (获取) the sun’s energy. A team from MIT has created a new technique (技术) of using a kind of special windows with chemical dyes (化学染料). The dyes help catch the light from the sun and send it to a special place in the window and then change the light into energy. The scientists say this discovery could change buildings into energy plants. It could even one day mean that the windows in our houses could provide power for our homes. The scientists say their dyes can produce ten times more power than the traditional solar (太阳的) board used around the world today. They also say that this clean and new energy technology could be available (可用的) within the next three years.The idea was first developed in the 1970s but was given up. Scientists then found that too much of the collected sunlight failed to reach the places on the edges of (在……边上) the windows. Then the MIT engineers thought out the idea of using colored dyes to stop the light from escaping. At the same time, their method only requires cells(电池) around the edges of t he windows. MIT’s Professor Baldo explained, ―This special glass would let through about 10 percent of the sun to light up the room, and the left would be caught and used to create electricity for other fields. It would look like smoked glass because of th e dyes.‖ He says the new technology could help fight environment change.52. We can learn from the text that the dyes ______.A. could also be used to get energy from plantsB. keep the light in the windows for longer timeC. catch more light from the sun in the daytimeD. produce more energy than the traditional board53. What was the main difficulty with the new technology at the beginning?A. The edges of the windows couldn’t store the sunlight.B. Colored dyes on the windows cost too much money.C. The researchers couldn’t produce enough huge solar cells.D. Only 10 percent of the sunlight could be changed into power.54. What is the main advantage of this new technique?A. It can be used to heat the room in winter.B. It can be used to make the room colorful.C. It is clean and good for the environment.D. It saves people a large amount of money.55. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To show the importance of protecting the environment.B. To introduce a new energy technique.C. To explain how to use this special window.D. To encourage people to fix this special window.四.单词拼写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请根据首字母或汉语提示完成句子。

He always asked about a few of his things, 31 if they had been sold. When he asked about the 32 , I told him that a little boy had got it for free, and had made a smile. The grin (咧嘴笑) on my son’s face was 33 priceless, much more than when I told him how much he had made.

When Nueng was only three months old, his father went back to the USA. When he grew up, Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado.It was just another day on the job until he noticed the name of one man who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and stared at the man. Could this man be his father?“Are you John Garcia?” he asked.“Yes,” came the answer.“Were you ever in the Air Force?”“Yes.”“Were you ever in Thailand?”“What’s that to do with you?” answered the man, who became suspicious.“Were you or were you not?” Nueng persisted.“Yes.”“Did you have a son?”This truth began to dawn on the old man. He and the clerk realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.John Garcia hadn’t seen his son since 1969, because Pratom Semon, Nueng’s mother, did not want to leave her homeland for the United States at that time. He continued to write and send checks to his son’s mother after he left Thailand. Years later, Pratom Semon was seeing another man, so she put a stop to John Garcia’s correspondence.He said he never went to that gas station, wasn’t even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check. He did not even know why he stopped for gas. His newfound 27-year-old son put his arms around the man who was once a stranger and said, “Dad...I’m glad you stopped.” As for their plans now, Nueng said: “Twenty-seven years is a long period —we’re catching up.”36. Nueng Garcia found his father _______.A. by chanceB. through a clerkC. on purpose C. through a letter37. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Nueng Garcia once served in the US Air Force in Thailand.B. Nueng Garcia never gave up his efforts to find his father but in vain.C. John Garcia went to that gas station before but never paid with a check.D. It was the same surname that attracted Nueng Garcia’s attention.38. What can we infer from the passage?A. Nueng came to the USA to find his father.B. John Garcia met his son in 1996.C. Nueng G arcia’s parents divorced when he was young.D. John Garcia abandoned his wife and son in 1969.39. The underlined part means that the old man began to _______ the truth.A. knowB. doubtC. coverD. refuse40. Which can be the best title for this passage?A. Dad and his lost sonB. Never give up and there will be a miracleC. Dad, son united after 27 yearsD. The love story between Dad and sonB“How do I love thee, let me count the ways.” These words, penned by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are some of the most widely-known love lyrics in Victorian English poetry.Elizabeth Barrett Browning was born at Coxhoe Hall, Durham, England on March 6, 1806. Browning was privately educated and spent much of her childhood in the country. It was a very happy childhood until Browning became seriously ill at age 15.In 1832, Browning moved with her family to Sidmouth, Devon and then several years later to London. In 1833, Browning’s translation of Prometheus Bound (《被束缚的普罗米修斯》) received high praise. After moving to London, Browning began to publish her own writings. Her first collection entitled The Seraphim and Other Poems was published in 1838, and her second volume Poems was published in 1844, which included an introduction written by Edgar Allan Poe.In 1845, Browning received a telegram from the poet Robert Browning. The telegram read “I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett—and I love you too.” The two met several months later and fell in love. During this period Browning composed her famous Sonnets (十四行诗) from the Portuguese, which was published in 1850.Shortly after their marriage, Elizabeth and Robert departed for Pisa, Italy and ultimately settled in Florence. In Italy, Browning regained her health and in 1849 gave birth to the couple’s only chil d, Robert Wiedemann Barrett. The Brownings lived in Florence in the next 15 years, with occasional visits to London. During this period, she produced her most ambitious work entitled Aurora Leigh. The poem is a love story that defends a woman’s right to in tellectual freedom.Elizabeth Barrett Browning died on June 29, 1861 in Florence. She is chiefly remembered forher love poems, although Aurora Leigh has recently received new appreciation.41. What do we know about Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s education?A. She received much formal education.B. She was taught at home.C. She was poorly educated.D. She only went to school at her village.42. Browning had her own writings published when _______.A. she was living in the countrysideB. she was in LondonC. she was doing the translation of Prometheus BoundD. she met her would-be husband43. Robert Browning sent a telegram to Elizabeth Barrett Browning to _______.A. express his love for her and her poemsB. ask her to marry himC. give her some suggestions on writingD. ask for a date with her44. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is mainly remembered for _______.A. her love with a famous poetB. the fight for women’s rightsC. her love poemsD. the style of her poems45. We may infer from the passage that Elizabeth Barrett Browning _______.A. suffered from poor health all her lifeB. was much influenced by her husbandC. stopped her writing after she got marriedD. may have enjoyed her family lifeCSurveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.One reason for this is biology. Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep earlier and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning. As a result, many students go to class feeling like Danny. Danny is an active teen —except in the morning. “Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible. I’m just very out of it and tired. In the first and second period I can barely stay awake,” he said.Michael Breus, a psychologist, says, “Teens need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night. Sleepy teens can experience a form of depression that could have big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.”So what can schools do about sleepy students? The psychologist suggests that one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning. Studies show that students can improve a lot in theirfirst- and second-period classes.Eric Peterson is the head of St. George’s School in the northeastern part of Rhode Island. He wanted to see if a thirty-minute delay would make a difference. It did. He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half. Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third. And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day. Eric Peterson knows that changing the start time is easier at a small, private boarding school like his. But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.46. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to _______.A. children’s getting up lateB. c hildren’s staying upC. children’s not getting enough sleepD. time children need for sleeping47.

What can we infer from the text?A. Danny is a lazy boy.B. The psychologist has no idea to solve the problem.C. Enough sleep makes a healthy and active student.D. American teens are all in bad conditions.DTowns and cities around the globe have embraced the use of renewable energy. Most of the time, you’ll hear about people switching to solar or wind power, but the Oregon town of Klamath Falls is one of the few towns that use geothermal (地热) power for everything imaginable.The geothermal power of Klamath Falls is used to heat buildings, greenhouses and provide lighting for the local college campus. They are also looking to expand their geothermal use beyond heat and towards electricity, too.The use of geothermal energy is practically unknown — it only makes up 0.5% of the UnitedStates’ entire energy production. However, it has extreme potential. A 2007 survey conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimated that EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) could produce 100 gigawatts (千兆瓦) of electricity by 2050. That amount of output is equal to 1,000 coal-fired or nuclear power plants.Although there is huge potential for the use of geothermal energy, it also has its drawbacks. For one, it can be difficult to find the 3 natural components (成分) needed to use geothermal energy all in one place. Those 3 things are: water, hot rock close to the surface, and cracks (裂缝) in the rock that can act as a reservoir (水库).One way EGS can be used is by drilling thousands of feet into the earth until you reach hot rock. Water is then pumped down to the rock in order to create cracks and reservoirs. Once the cracks are created, more water can be sent down one area and it will come up through another well as hot water or steam. This hot water or steam will cause a turbine(涡轮) to spin, thus generating electricity.51. The Oregon town of Klamath Falls intends to _______ in the future.A. heat buildings with geothermal powerB. export geothermal power to other parts of the countryC. power the lights of college campus in the townD. make electricity with geothermal power52. We can learn from the third paragraph that _______.A. geothermal energy is widely used in the USAB. geothermal energy has great potentialC. it is not economic to make electricity with geothermal energyD. the US falls behind other countries in using geothermal energy53. Which of the following are the 3 natural components needed in using geothermal energy?A. A reservoir, water and hot rock in deep earth.B. Water, hot rock near the surface and cracks in the rock.C. Water, hot rock on earth and a reservoir.D. Water, hot rock near the surface and deep wells.54. Water is pumped down to the rock to _______.A. cool the hot rockB. lower the pressure undergroundC. create cracks and reservoirsD. mix with the hot water underground55. Which of the following pictures shows the correct way to get geothermal energy?A. B. C. D.四、书面表达(共两节,满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)阅读下面短文并根据短文后的要求回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
