In the video, the band members ride a New York City subway while performing entirelyon iPhones, with applications linked with mini-battery powered broadcasters for each instrument.Singer Luck White says the production was a top-secret operation."We didn't tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from management, from everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put iton YouTube,"explained White.It has been watched by more than 2 million on YouTube since debuting(首次露面) last week. "All I've wanted to do for the past few days is just stare at the YouTube page and keep refreshing it to see how far it will go, " said Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band."The Internet changed everything,"Espiritu said. "It's kind of an exciting time because it forces everyone to adjust and be creative and find new ways to get your name out there."The idea for the video came from Espiritu's 24-year-old brother Benjamin, who's hoping to go to film school. " I've seen a lot of these music applications, and they're kind of fascinating to me,"Benjamin Espiritu said. " I thought: 'What would happen if iPhones kind of took over the world? If there could actually be a band that played straight through with iPhones, what would that look like?'" So they shot(拍摄 ) the video —with iPhones also serving as video cameras. The band also tried Union Square but were stopped during playing because they didn't have a permit."The YouTube views are translating into album sales,"Espiritu said. "We've seen the jump." Their album has been in the top 10albums on iTunes.Will their fans start cheering for iPhone-only performances? "We've gotten the most exposure(曝光 )and teh most fans that we've ever gotten through this, so I wouldn't be surprised if fans are goingto want to see that.: Espritu said.1.Who first saw the ban's video to the song Take Me Out?A.

The You Tube views make the album sales increase.B. The band has changed the video on the YouTube into an album.C.People need to pay for the video if they view it on the YouTube.D. People who have viewed the video on the YouTube should buy an album.3.What can we learn from the text?A. It was Espiritu who came up with teh idea of the video.B. Benjamin thought iPhones would take over the world.C. The band also managed to shoot the video in the Union Square.D. Espiritu thought it was possible fro their fans to prefer iPhone-only performances.4.What would be the best title for this text?A. Atomic Tom's iPhone Subway PerformanceB.Take Me Out— Atomic Tom's New SongC.A band's performance through YouTubeD.A Band's iPhone single T ake Me Out Hits BigBThe British coloney(殖民地)of Bermude is a top summertime escape. Yet, even through October, Bermuda isn't ready to stop for the winter. During this month, world-class festivals on teh island keep things lively and the weather remains comfortable enough for Bermuda shorts and bathing suits.In October, Bermuda hosts two major festivals — the Bermuda Music Festival and the BermudaCulinary Arts( 厨艺 ) Festival. The 10 th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and features three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard( 皇家海军造船厂)on Bermuda's West End. Featured main stage performers include Joss Stone, Pattie Labelle, and Al Green, and a second stage spotlights local Bermudian artists. General admission tickets start at $60 for on e day or $160 for a three-day pass.Starting October 21, the Culinary Arts Festival brings some of North America's top chefs to the island for four days of food and wine tastings, conferences and cooking competitions. Participating chefs includeTodd English and Michael Lomonaco, among others. Three-day festival passes start at $649 per person, but you can also buy separate tickets for individual events.Even if you don't attend one of the festivals, there's still plenty to do. With mostly sunny days and temperatures averaging aroung 79 degrees, the weather is just right for participating in Bermuda's two favorite pastimes —golf and tennis. With fewer visitors on the island than during the summer, you may have an easier time getting the best times or a spot on the courts. It's also still warm enough to enjoy the island'spink sand beaches and go swimming, because the water keeps the summer's heat longer than the air. Of course, you can always shop in the city of Hamilton's upscale(质优价高的 ) small goods arts and crafts shops.5.The Culinary Arts Festival lasts _____.A. from October 5 to 7B. from October 5 to 8C. from October 21 to 24D. from October 21 to 256.The best time to travel to Bermuda is ______A. springB.

The book records the first usage of "Diaoyu Islet" and "Chiwei Islet". The names refer to the current Diaoyu Islands and Chiwei Islet. Hu Zongxian, the Zhejiang governor of the Ming Dynasty, placed the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding isletswithin China ’maritimes defense system. It demonstrates that the islands have been within China’ s maritime defense region since the Ming Dynasty.Japan claimed sovereignty(主权) during the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, seizing the islands byillegal means.The Cairo Declaration issued after World War II stipulated( 规定 ) that all territory taken by Japan illegally, including China’ s northeast, Taiwan and Penghu islets, must beto Chinareturned.In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender under the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. The declaration laid out that Japan must return Taiwan, the Diaoyu Islands andsurrounding islets to China.But the islands came under US control after 1945. In 1951, Japan and the US signed an illegal treaty inSan Francisco without inviting China. The islands were then "entrusted" to Japan according to the treaty.On September 18th, 1951, then Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai made a solemn(庄严的 ) statement on behalf of the Chinese government that the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed in San Francisco was illegal , and would not be recognized without the participation and signing of the PeopleRepublic of China.In June 1971, Japan and the United States signed an agreement to hand over Okinawa to Japan. TheDiaoyu Islands were mapped into the handover area.China ’ s Foreign Ministry announced on December 30th 1971 that such a move was "totally illegal"and reiterated( 重申 ) that the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding islets were "an integral part of the Chineseterritory".第二节 (共 5 小题 ;每题 2 分,满分 10 分)依照短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

D 项中选出最正确选项,并在答题AMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business ( 宠物护养业务 ) earlier that year.Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hotsummer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner ’s home. Itwas almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time tomeet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We metthe family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on usand touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showingus that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. Ifilled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sittingbeside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After thelight and “ click sound” went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’ t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighborand my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈 ). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly movedme to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner,“ Am I going to die?” He replied,“ Finally.”1. What did the author often do during her work?A. Sending a photo of pets to the owners.B. Cleaning the customers’ house.C. Bringing the pets to her own house.D. Walking the pets outside.2. The doctor’ s answer gave us a sense of.A. humorB. carelessnessC. angerD. patience3. It can be inferred from the text that the author was attacked because__________.A. the author treated Hercules badly C. Hercules was very hungry thenB. the author attacked Hercules firstD. Hercules feared the sound and the flashBMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming,or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms — football, basketball, hockey, golfor tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked uponwith astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risksin high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there arefor such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would bedangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineeringattractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one bigdifference is that mountaineering is not a“ team game” . We shouldinthis. beTheremistakenare,it is true, no“ matches” between“ teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerfulthan man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physicalqualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past hisbest by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highestmountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb withmore skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.4. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?A. Skiing and skating.B. Soccer and golf.C. Cycling and hockey.D. Mountaineering.5. The underlined word“passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.A. better feelingB. good wayC.strong emotionD. enough affection6.We know from the passage that _______.A.mountaineering has no appeal for peopleB.physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersC.it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the AlpsD.a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty7.What is the best title for the passage?A. Sports in winterB. MountaineeringC. Team work in climbingD. The quality for mountaineeringCHappy birthdayThe China National Opera (CNO) will give a concert to celebrate its 50th birthday.Different generations of CNO vocalists, like Li Guangxi , Yao Hong and Ma Mei, will present theconcert which will feature both songs from famous Chinese operas like“The White-haired Girl”and “The Hundredth Bride ”, as well as, arias (咏叹调 ) of such Western opera classics as“ Madame Butterfly ” , “ La Traviata ” and “ Rigoletto ”.

CultureB. PeopleC. EntertainmentD. SportsDCould cities that float ( 飘扬 ) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods ( 洪水 ) andprovide food for the world?Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed togrow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one inten people living in them.They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believethe answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae ( 海藻 ) to produce fuel and food.More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater andscientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says:“We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea. ”12.What can we learn about the Netherlands?A.There are floating homes in one of its cities.B.It has found many fossil fuels recently.C.Two thirds of its land is covered by water.D.Its population is increasing quickly.13.

Making travel in space possible.14. What does Bart Roeffen think of his company ’s future plans?A. He doubts them.B. He has no idea about them.C. He is uncertain about them.D. He is hopeful of them.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. Will there be enough water?B. Is it possible to live in the desert?C. Will sea cities save the world?D. Is it expensive to build floating cities?第二节:(共 5 小题;每题 2 分,满分10 分)依照短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

My second thought?I can finally clean her house. My mother is a hoarder(囤货者). I have long searched for the perfect combination of begging and bring that would finally force her to throw out the rubbish.The first time I can remember being directly affected by my mother’s relationship to possessions was when I was 5years old and in kidergarten. I was enrolled in the morning term but one Monday, as I was getting ready for school, my mother asked me to stay for both the morning and afternoon because she wanted to go to thrift-store(廉价商店)shopping.”you can take the later school bus,” she said I didn’t like the idea a bit.”can you just be home in time?” I asked. But she refused. That morning I tried to get up the nerve to tell one of the teachers about my mother would be there.She wasn’t. It was a typical winter day in Minnesota--in other words,cold,windy and snowy. I waited outside. When my mother finally returned, her arms were loaded with shopping bags.”What are you doing here ?” she demanded.“You were supposed to give me a note,” I said, running inside as soon as she unlocked the door. As I felt better, I looked around at m y mother’s new gains---salt and sweaters,patterns for clothes she’d never sew---and couldn’t help but think she’d chosen those things over me.My mother has been cancer-free for almost six years now. She calls one day,breathless with excitement about h er new car,”The best part,” She says,”it’s big-big enough for when I go...”She stops herself “Shopping,” I say “It’s big enough for when you go shopping.” “It’s tr u e.” She laughs. At that moment I have a choice: I’m no longer that young girl trying desperately to fix her.She is who she is.24.Which of the following is true about “my mother”?A, she agreed to know about the rubbish.B, she has unusual relationship to possessions.C, she paid no attention to her child’s health and study.D, she finally changed her way of living, because of cancer.25.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underline words in paragraph 2?A, be back on one's feet.B, develop one's interest.C, build up one's courage.D, rise from a lower to a higher position.26.It can be inferred from the passage that.A , the writer was too shy when she was in kindergarten.B, the mother and the child had broken up for years.C, the writer was against her mother buying a new car.D, the writer’s mother has left a deep impression on her as a hoarder.27.What would be the best title for the passage?A, my mother the hoarder.B, a cancer survivor.C, my mother's plan.D, my kindergarten life.CFor many years, women could only be seen on the seat behind the men operating the two-wheeled motorcycle. Now more and more women are taking the front seat. More than twenty million people in the United States ride motorcycles.Since 1998 the number of female bikers has risen sharply. Lady Sport Riders began in 1999 in Washington. The women formed the organization to share their love of motorcycle riding. But later it wanted to be more than just an organization for women togather and ride motorcycles, so it started to organize events that help national health organizations and women's shelters. It also permits women to share a strong sisterhood, and gives financial awards to poor students. Like other motorcycle clubs, the members of Lady Sport Riders also help their community.Different from male riders, female riders ride for more than fun. This sport gives women a sense of freedom and control. Female riders have helped change motorcycle culture. More than five years ago manufacturers began making equipment especially for women. Some bikes now have smaller, softer seats and controls that are easier to reach. Modern clothes for riding now look good and still provide protection. In the past, women rode motorcycles that travelled at a moderate speed. Now theirs are as powerful as the ones men ride. Safety is very important when riding because the risk of injury is high. So the women wear protective clothing and equipment at all times, especially for the head.Lady Sport Riders believes women have earned their place in the sport of motorcycle riding. When speaking of male motorcyclists, the members of th e club say, “They Made the Game. We Came to Play!”28. In the beginning, Lady Sport Riders was organized to ________.A. allow women to take up motorcyclingB. offer help to national health organizationsC. share their great interest in the sport of motorcyclingD. supply financial help to poor students29. What do men motorcyclists mainly expect to get from motorcycling?A. Strength and power.B. A sense of freedom.C. Money and fame.D. Pleasure from this sport.30. Compared with the past, the present equipment makes riding more ________ for women.A. difficultB. pleasantC. riskyD. expensive31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about the development of motorcycle riding.B. To talk about the characteristics of the sport of motorcycling.C. To introduce a female motorcycle club to readers.D. To talk about the role women have played in the sport of motorcycling.DI represent a group of business people devoted to improving public schools. “If I run my business the way you operate your schools. I wouldn't be in business very long.!” I said in front of a crowd of teachers who were becoming angrier by the minute.As soon as I finished, a woman’s hand shot up. She appeared, polite, pleasant. She began quickly. “We're told sir, that your manager a company that makes good ice cream.” “Best ice cream in A merica. “I replied. “Mr V ollmer,” She said, “when you're standing on your receiving, doc k and you see a poor quality shipment of, blueberries arrive, what do you do.?” In the silence of that room. I could hear that trap stnap. I was dead meat, but I wasn't going to lie, “I send them back.”She shouted: ”We can never sen d back our blueberries, we take them big, small, rich, poor, gifted, abuse, frightened, confident, homeless, rude and brilliant. We take them all! And that, Mr V ollmer, is why it's not a business, It's a school!”Suddenly all 290 teachers and secretaries jumped to their feet and yelled.“Yeah Blue berries! Blueberries!”And I began my long, transformation. Since then, I have visited hundreds of schools, I have learned that a school is not a business. Schools are unable to control the quality of their own material.But it doesn't deny the needs of for change. We must change how we teach to give our children the opportunity to become successful. But educators cannot do this alone. these changes can occur only with the understanding, trust, permission and active support of the surrounding community.32.

AEagles along with hawks and other raptors(猛兽),are great hunters. Their eyesight is up to eight times better than a human with the best eyesight. American’s national birds, the bald eagle, can dive at a speed of up to 322 kilometers per hour. These birds have great strength, too. Eagles can fly with prey that weighs as much as they do.Birds like eagles play an important role in the balance of nature. Many of them also help humans by eating the pests that destroy crops.

D.BFree soloing is rock climbing withouta rope safety equipment. It is so dangerous that less than 1 percent of climbers ever attempt it.Alex Honnold grew up in California around a climbing culture and started climbing at 10. He would go to a climbing gym six days a week for three hours a day. Honnold was a straight-A student in school. But climbing was his main interest, and free soloing quickly became his favorite style. Since those early days, the 27-year-old has made over a thousand climbs. He is considered by many to be the best climber in the world. Experienced climber, John Long says over half of the well-known free solo climbers are dead. According to him, Honnold’s greatest achievement is that he’s still alive!Honnold climbs by fitting his fingers into the cracks of the rock face. With most of his weight supported by his fingers alone, he pulls himself up. However, his ability to stay focused is as important as his strength. Other climbers agree that the fear of climbing without a rope is a huge challenge to overcome. Everyone knows that a single mistake would probably be a deadly one.Honnald’s great achievements have made him famous, but along with praise comes lots of criticism. Many blame him for taking too many risks. Honnold responds by saying, “I don’t think I’ll do this forever. But I don’t think I’ll stop because of the risk. I’ll stop because I lose the love for it.” For now he’s continuing to follow his passion and climbing to new heights.44. Which is TRUE about free soloing?A.

They set up villages and planted crops on the steep slopes. But the rough landscape made travel and communication difficult.Shouting over the mountains can damage one’s vo ice, but whistling does not. So some Chinantecs developed a language composed entirely of whistles. It can express almost every word in their spoken language. Some scholars think this form of communication dates back to the time of the first language.Chinantecs use different styles of whistling at different distances. The shortest is used face to. A medium-range style can be heard up to 200 meters away. And for long-distance communication, they place their fingers in their mouths and let out a piercing(尖利的) whistle. In some cases, it can be heard over a kilometer away!Over 104,000 Chinantec people live in northern Mexico, mostly in small villages where their traditional languages are spoken. The whistled language is mostly used by men, and while women usually can interpret it, they don’t “speak” it.Chinantec whistling has ancient roots, but can it survive in a changing world? Modern inventions like cellphones are whistling as a form of long-distance communication. And the Chinantec languages themselves may be in danger. As Spanish is more and more widely used, even within Chinantec communities, some fear the traditional languages will disappear. Linguists are studying this unique and attractive language while they have the chance. Yet they hope that Chinantec whistles will fly over the mountains in the future.47. Why was the whistled language developed in Oaxaca, Mexico?A. Because the communication was difficult in mountains.B. Because they needed to plant corps on the steep slopes.C.

Linguists like to whistle very much.D. It seems to be in danger nowadays.50. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. The Whistled Language in MexicoB. An Old Tradition in MexicoC.
