（13） I was so afraid of her failure（失败）．The strong spotlight and large hall made（14） so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage．I felt hopeless．But the moment that surprised me came．I clearly heard a voice，a very loud voice，"Now，please focus on me．"Three times in all，louder and louder．The whole audience fell silent．I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl，who was usually soft ﹣voiced and didn't catch attention at all．She gave a perfect speech．I think I will never forget this touching lesson（15） my student taught me ﹣never underestimate（低估）the

may not be interested in it．The two people are close enough to talk，but too far to touch．They might have baseball gloves，or they might use their hands．In fact，playing catch is part of（17） practice﹣to make you get used to using a ball and glove．But anyAmerican kid will teach you it's much more than that．Playing catch is a time for kids to（18） with your father．It's a time when there's （19） to worry about except catching a ball．It's a time when words move asseamlessly（准确不误地） as the ball itself，back and forth，easy and relaxing．It's an excuse to（20） time together．Because baseball is an American sport，and a big part of being American，playing catch is kind of an all﹣American dad activity．In the suburbs（郊区），most people have backyards﹣not（21） enough to play baseball in，but just big enough for a game of catch．Those who have no（22）can play in the street or in the park．When adults are asked to talk about the good（23）of their dads，many of them will say something about playing catch．Why？Probably because dads are usually very （24）．A catch game is a time that is only for one thing．This is a time when a kid has her dad's（25）．There is no work，no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you．For the time that it takes to play a game of catch，your dad is all yours．16．A．interesting B．boring C．amazing D．exciting 17．A．basketball B．baseball C．football D．volleyball 18．A．fight

Kenny，16，reached his third year of high school at Hickory Grove，North Carolina，US，he had become president of his school's cooking club．He also opened his own food company，called Modern Fusion．Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his mother，and his grandmother，who owned a catering business（饮食业）．Kenny helped them both in order to remember their tips：how long to cook chicken so

Bloomberg．They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up，leading New York City as mayor（市长），and so on．Take RisksLife is too short to spend your time avoiding failure．In 1981，at the age of 39，I lost my job．The next day I took a big risk and began my own company．In 2001，when I was debating whether to run for mayor，most people advised me not to do it．But one person said，"If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech，then why not go for it？"That was the best advice I received，and I followed it．In order to succeed，you must first be willing to fail﹣and you must have the courage to go for it anyway．Make your own luckLuck plays a part in success．The harder you work，the luckier you get．Whatever you choose to do，even if it's not the job of your dreams，always work hard at it．Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night．Hard work creates chances．Never stop learningThe most powerful word in English language is"why"．There is nothing so powerful as an open，inquiring mind（探究精神）．Whatever field you choose for starting a business﹣be a lifelong student．Give backYou are responsible for your success and failure，but you only succeed if you share the reward with others．My first donation was a 5check to my alma mater （母校）．And while the checks （支票）may be bigger today，they come with the same spirit．You don't have to be wealthy to give back．You can give back by giving your time and talents．36．In this passage，Michael Bloomberg is the name of a ．A．newspaperB．placeC．companyD．person37．What did the writer do at the age of 59？A．Lost his job．B．Ran for mayor．C．Built a company．D．Became a teacher．38．From the passage，we can infer that the writer．A．is a young mayorB．seldom cares about othersC．is lucky all the timeD．is a hard﹣working man39．Which of the following isn't mentioned in the tips？A．Failure is the mother of success．B．It's never too old to learn．C．Money is everything．D．Luck comes from hard work．40．In which of the following columns（栏目）can you find the article？A．Family LifeB．Interesting StoriesC．Experience SharingD．Adventures．41．Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea ofeye﹣recognition．In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile!41．The program has been tested in shops and banks in ．A．America and ChinaB．Spain and JapanC．Britain and TurkeyD．Italy and German42．According to the steps in Paragraph 3，which picture

4also talk about？A．Other kinds of systems to identify people．B．Some special things of other programmes．C．The places where other programmes are tested．D．Some old machines used to identify people．45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．All the eye﹣recognition programs can be up to 94% correct．B．In Britain，91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition．C．Everyone's eyes are different，even twins have different eyes．D．Some other programs used to be 51% correct．第二节阅读填空（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．46．March 20th is

as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and carefree．But now…I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions on me．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．I wandered the streets，without any aim in my mind．As I walked on，there were fewer and fewer people on the streets．When I finally reached the apartment where I lived，I saw that the light was still on．I thought to myself："Is father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me？"In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell himthat I liked collecting stamps．All the lights were off except father's．Dad was always like this．He has got used to arguing with me．Maybe he didn't know how to express himself．After shouting at me，he never said sorry to me．But after an argument he always came into my room secretly and made sure whether I was asleep．The light was still on．"Am I wrong？"I whispered，maybe…With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love is second to none．26．In which order do the following take place？a．I opened the door and entered the house．b．Sadly I ran out into the street．c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house's light

died and 900more were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones．Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it's dangerous．Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on driving and talking at the same time．It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much．A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30percent slower than when they had drunk too much﹣﹣﹣﹣and nearly 50percent slower than when they were driving normally．It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers．And talking isn't even the most serious problem．Texting is．Unbelievably，another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month．An average text message takes 90seconds to write and send．That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road．The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before．Using a mobile phone while driving puts others'lives at risk．No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions．Such drivers are selfish，careless，and should have their driving licenses （驾照）cancelled．There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are extremely useful，especially when you're in trouble．But there is no need to use them while driving．Just wait untilyou stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own．31．The underlined word"them"in paragraph 1refers to．A．phone usersB．mobile phonesC．driversD．cars32．According to the

movies to a new level of popularity，and introduced kung fu to millions of people in the West．Born in the USA in 1940，Lee returned to his native Hong Kong before his first birthday．As a teenager，the highly intelligent boy was accepted into one of Hong Kong's most famous middle schools but he paid little attention to his studies．He was more interested in sports，especially kung fu，and hanging out with his street﹣gang friends．In 1959，Lee got into trouble with the police for fighting．His mother，fearing he would end up in prison，sent him to the USA．Two years later，he began studying at a university there．While still a student，Lee opened his own kung fu school，teaching a new fighting style he had developed．What made Lee's style different was that it used power，strength and，quick﹣action attacks．It also combined （融合）Japanese，Korean and South American fighting styles with traditional slow﹣moving Chinese kung fu．Among Lee's students were several famous actors who，impressed by his good﹣looks and fighting skill，encouraged him to start acting．Over the next five years Lee achieved some success in America．But his dream of introducing his fighting style into American movies was not accepted by local film makers who thought western audiences were not interested in kung fu．Determined to prove them wrong，Lee returned to Hong Kong in 1970．There he made two films Fists of Fury （1971）and Way of the Dragon （1972），using his kung fu ideas and techniques．The movies were huge hits worldwide，making Lee an international star and symbol of kung fu．These were followed by what is widely considered the greatest kung fu movie of all time，Enter the Dragon （1973）．Tragically however，Lee suddenly and mysteriously died while making his next movie Game of Death．He was only 33years

Glancing up, he saw a large wasp nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can became more likely to sting in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and theafter-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike, trying to call the mini-bus centre, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.26. It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when_______.A. there are huge noisesB. strangers are getting very nearC. the air is filled with food smellD. the hottest season comes around27. Allen didn't know that if stung by wasps again, he would___________.A. have no after-effectsB. suffer from sharper painC. lose his lifeD. became much weaker28. Allen failed at the first time when he tried to send his message to the mini-bus centerbecause__________.A. he was unable to speak clearlyB. his radio equipment was poorC. he was in a state of shockD. no one was on duty29. Which of the following is NOT true according the story?A. Allen drove to the fire station because he knew there was a rescue team there.B. Allen managed to make his request of help clear though he had difficulty talking by then.C. The mini-bus centre did help in that they got the rescue team ready before Allen arrived.D. Allen shouldn’t have looked at the wasps when he helped Mrs. Carey.30. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Allen, a Helpless DriverB. Wasps, Bloody KillersC. A Race against DeathD. War against WaspsB"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers from California repo rt that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts．”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”31. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to___________.A. the lower water PH valueB. the warming atmosphereC. the higher level of CO2in the airD. the increasing use of oil fuels32. According to Dr Caldeira,__________ .A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thingB. more oil fuels will be used in the near futureC. scientists may predict climate changes with computer modelsD. the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious33. If the water's acidity level keeps rising,_________ .A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affectedB. the waters’ PH value will become higher and higherC. organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changesD. some disasters will occur more often than before34. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean?A.污染的B.酸的C.复杂的D.温暖的35. The purpose of this passage is to_________ .A. show people the findings of a research teamB. inform people of how acid the ocean is nowC. introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's researchD. warn people of the higher acidity level in the seaCJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J. C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down the stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set fo r Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”36. Owens got his other name when __________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Games37．In the Big Ten meet, Owens _________.A. hurt himself in the backB. was weak but determined to winC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events38．Owens received no telephone calls from the president because _________.A. he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didn’t shake hands with HitlerD. he refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up39. Which of the following shows the correct order of James’ life?a. James worked part time to get the fee for schoolb. He was honored by the USc. He got success at the Olympic Gamesd. James set many records in Big Ten Gamese. He went to Cleveland with his familyf. Owens fell down and hurt his backA. a,e,f,d,b,cB. e,a,d,f,b,cC. a,e,d,f,c,bD. e,a,f,d,c,b40.

They have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. They have kept him busy with all kinds of jobsDItalian Lakes and Greek Islands (12 Days)Prices starting from＄1,999Your tour begins in Milan, Italy, and moves on to the pretty Italian Lake District and the attractive resort of Stresa, your home for two nights.

From then on, so my injured sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying.As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down o r bump into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”My mom’s love was the spark that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on.26. The word carefree in the first line probably means “__________” in Chinese.A.无忧无虑的B. 无拘无束的C. 小心翼翼的D. 与众不同的27. Why did the writer imagine that everyone looked down on her?A. She felt bad about her appearance.B. She found it hard to act as a monster.C. Kids refused to play games with her.D. People always asked her embarrassing questions.28.Why did the writer’s mum say “Hold your head up high” to her?A. To tell her to be careful.B. To help her hide the shame.C. To stop her from getting hurt.D. To make her more confident.29. From the story, we can know that__________.A. the writer understood the saying very well as a child.B. the writer felt like everyone else in high school.C. the writer is living with a warm and brave heart now.D. the writer has deep compassion for other all her life.30. The passage is mainly about__________.A. what the writer experienced when she was 15.B. what the writer did to show th anks for mum’s gift.C. how the writer changed herself with mum’s love.D. the writer has become confident with her great efforts.BThere are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.31. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us __________.A. a red box is heavier than a white oneB. a color has weight in one’s mindC. white paper is lighter than red paperD. you can know the weight of a color by holding it32. Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A. Because people can sense the light from colors.B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.33. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will __________.A. riseB. fallC. stay the sameD. change now and then34. It can be implied from the text that __________.A. colors have orders in weightB. colors can change the weight of an objectC. people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD. colors can affect our mood and health35.

PETER PANMonday was China’s traditional “Tomb-Sweeping Day”, when people mourn(哀掉) their dead. But it also became a day for national celebration, when rescuers saved 115 workers who were trapped for more than a week in the flooded Wangjialing Coal Mine in Shanxi province.“It’s a miracle,” Liu Dezheng told reporters on Monday morning after the first nine miners (矿工) were taken out shortly after midnight. “We believe more miracles will happen.”At about noon, rescuers carried out the second group of 106 survivors (幸存者). The survivor clapped his hands and tried to reach for his rescuers in an expresion of joy. Both Shanxi Governor Wang Jun and State Administration of Work Safety Director Luo Lin called the rescue “a miracle” in the history of China’s coal mine rescues.The trapped miners survived underground with the encouragement of thinking of their families. They live through eight days and eight nights by getting sawdust(锯末)，tree bark(树皮)and turbid(混浊的) water for food.One survivor said that he had to hang from tunnel walls by his belt(腰带)to survive when the disaster came. After being in the water for three days, he climbed into two passing mine cans(矿车)with eight other men and floated to a dry place.A rescue team on an inflatable boat(橡皮艇)threw lifelines(救生索)to the trapped men after realizing that the boat could not move any further. Once the survivors found themselves in the boat, Wang said he was asked whether he would take them out. “I promised them that they would be lifted out as long as I could get out,” Wang said.After being rescued, one of the survivors told doctors he wanted to call his family. “I have two daughters and a son. I have to work in the mine to earn money for them,” said another 45-year-old survivor who was taken to the Shanxi Aluminium Plant Hospital, which admitted 35 survivors from the mine. The hospital is among five local ones treating the workers.“It’s great to be up on the surface again,” said one 27-year-old survivor.( ) 31.

The rescue team prepared fully to rescue the trapped miners before going into the mine.C. One of the survivors hardly believed that he could be saved out of the mine on the boat.D.

About 45% of them said they sometimes doze off in class. In South Korea, it's 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.South Korean students don't like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%).Who is the most distracted (分心的)?American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated (无关的) books in class.What do they do after school?In their spare time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet.

However, whetherof sports might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its course in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry areas of Portugal and Spain, golf is often responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need anything special except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to think about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from rec ycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open space. There is no special require ment for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.( ) 41. What does the underlined word course mean?A. 课程B. 球场C. 进程D. 一道菜( ) 42. What do we know about golf from the passage?A. It needs water and energy to keep it work.B.

According to the passage, which of the following is the best example for “an environment-friendly sport" ?A. Cycling around a lakeB. Motor racing the desertC. Playing basketball in a gymD. Swimming in a sports center( ) 45. The passage mainly _______________.A. shows us the function of major sportsB. encourages us to go in for green sportsC. discusses the major influence of popular sportsD. introduces different types of green sports第二节阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）46 ? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors withoutThe reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. 47 .48 ? Maybe yes. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. 49 . Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.50 .

A1. Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors,C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B.

Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offeri ng solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started social ising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly int o users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn—at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a co ncern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth （来回地）. It seems a little and many people may not be interested in it. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they might use their hands. In fact, playing catch is part of practice —to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But any American kid will teach you it’s much more than that. Playing catch is a time fo r kids to with your father. It’s a time when there’s to worry about except catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as seamlessly （准确不误地） as the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to time together.Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs （郊区）, most people have backyards — not enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those who have试卷第2页，共12页no can play in the street or in the park.When adults are asked to talk about the good of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very . A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has her dad's . There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you.

She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall looked ordinary. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or writing notes. One day I asked her aloud the text. When I heard her standard （标准）American English, I looked at her with new eyes. And I remembered her name —Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school to attend. I thought it over and filled in her name. Kelly practised for the competition. However, I was a little worried she was always too quiet. Could she really well in the competition?the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. seemed that she was really nervous. I felt upset, but I just patted her on shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签）. As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches. Sure enough, No. 8 was very .The whole audience made a warm applause.While they about his speech with excitement, Kelly appeared on the stage. I with no courage to look at her. It was her time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her failure （失败）.The strong spotlight and large hall made so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.But the moment that surprised me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, ―Now, please focus on me.‖Three times in all, louder and louder. The whole audience fell silent.I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t catch attention at all.

The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out试卷第4页，共12页of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition （眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris （虹膜）, which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction （采集）. Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye -recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now.
