Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.

In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.

Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family. From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.

Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away. 60. We know from the passage that elephants may he frightened of . A. loud noises B. some cropsC. video cameras D. angry bees 61. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy

A. works by herself in AfricaB. needs to test more elephant groups

C. has stopped elephants eating cropsD. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms 62. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?

A. To record the sound of bees.B. To make a video of elephants.

C. To see if elephants would run away.D. To find out more about the behavior of bees. 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees. B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.

C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them. D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields. C

You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible（有形的）things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.

There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at ―The Museum Of‖—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.

Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal （显露）a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.

Other on the way include ―The museum of Collectors‖ and ―The Museum of Me.‖These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of ―The Museum Of.‖ The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.

Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point: the beginning or end of adolescence—―it‘s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,‖says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的）arrangement is comforting.

64. How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums? A. By collecting more tangible things.

B. By showing what ordinary people have collected. C. By correcting what museums normally represent. D. By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.

65. What can be learned about collectors from their collections? A. Who they are.B. How old they are.

C.Where they were born.D. Why they might not mean to collect. 66. Which of the following is an aim of the new museums?

A. To help people sell their collections.B. To encourage more people to collect. C. To study the significance of collecting.D. To find out why people visit museums. 67. According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they A. become adultsB. feel happy with life

C. are ready for a relationshipD. feel time to he uncontrollable D

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (经济的) reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves . Thus , I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though

that might be the more risky choice.

68. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? . Some of them are not attractive.

. Most of them ate too expensive to preserve. . They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area. 69. Which of the following is true according to the author? . We should reproduce the same old buildings.

. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings. . Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.

. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.

70. By ―move things forward ‖ in the last paragraph , the author probably means― ‖ . Destroy old buildingsB. Put things in a different place

C. Choose new architectural stylesD. Respect people‘s feelings for historical buildings 71. What is the main purpose of the passage? . To explain why people dislike change.

. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings. . To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas. E

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising \解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there . When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把??制成堆粪)this waste . They kmew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.

Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

72. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Cltungemakers B. Businessmen

C. Social Conditions D.Rubbish Problem

73. The underlined word \A. the local farmers B. Masqsood and Iftekhar C. Drayton and his teamD. the poor people in Dhaka

74. It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he . A. considers Drayton's conceptB. gets permission from Ashoka

C. tries to improve social conditionsD. is a young, happy and healthy adult 75. The authors attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as A. changingB. forgivingC. cautiousD. Positive 第II卷

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.

Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.

Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .

Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.

However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom. A final point to in mind is that the term \music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise! Title Classical Music

The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often 36 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 37 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this 38 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her 39 in with us? There had to be a 40 .

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 41 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 42 copy.

I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 43 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 44 . ―why, it‘s wonderful,‖ said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 45 the talent show. ―I need more of these, but I just don‘t have enough 46 . Could you help me, Suzy?‖

On the day of the talent show, Suzy‘s 47 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

―And finally,‖ said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, ―we have a (n) award. I‘m sure you‘ve all noticed the wonderful posters.‖ Everyone nodded. ―One of our own students 49 them.‖

I could hear everyone whispering. ―Who in our school could draw 50 well?‖

Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ 51 this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a 52 ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist‘s set. ―Thank you,‖ she cried.

I 53 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she‘d probably never 54 anything in her whole life.

The Brown Bear

My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, ―Dad! The bear is right behind us!‖ An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I‘m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

60. The brown bear approached the family in order to _______. A. catch shore birdsB. start an attack

C. protect the childrenD. set up a barrier for itself 61. The bear finally went away after it _______. A. felt safeB. got injured

C. found some foodD. took away the camera

62. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ . A. prideB. patience

C. calmnessD. cautiousness C

Choosing the Right Resolution (决定)

Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.

To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construce goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: ―I‘ll stop having desert for lunch,‖ or ―I‘ll walk every day for 20 minutes.‖ Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.

Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer‘s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not knoe how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like ―study harder.‖ Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.

As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it‘s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.

If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn‘t a goal because it‘s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don‘t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.

In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.

63. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ . A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is focused too much on the result C. it is dependent on too many things D. it is based on actionable decisions

64. In Roland Fryer‘s research, some students did better than the others because ______ . A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to exams

C. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books

65. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal? A. ―I‘ll give up desert.‖ B. ―I‘ll study harder.‖

C. ―I‘ll cut down my expense‖D. ―I‘ll spend more time with my family‖ 66. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ . A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them

C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input ang output D

Multitasking

What is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop‘s scent may not be outstanding compared with sightsand sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers‘ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent. When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand‘s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants‘ disproving attitude and don‘t-touch-what-you-can‘t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store‘s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.

67. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

A. Friendly assistant.B. Unique scents.

C. Soft background musicD. attractive window display. 68. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ . A. ashow the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores B. urge shop assistants to change their attitude C. push stores to use sights and sounds D. introduce the rise of e-commerce

69. The underlined word ―destination‖ in Paragraph 5 means _______ .

A. a platform that exhibts goods B. a spot where travelers like to stay C.a place where customers love to go D. a target that a store expects to meet

70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ . A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assess C. argue and discussD.inform and explain

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information

Making good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Resonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 71

Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determin whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 73

Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ―contributes to‖ or is ―associated with‖an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 73 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense. Ifa report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 74 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).

75 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A. Make choice that are right for you.

B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C. Be sure to work through the critical questions. D. And examine the findings of the original research.

E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author‘s point of view. G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment

In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.

Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn‘t function.

When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I‘d got for problem No. 14. ―I…I didn‘t get anything,‖ I answered, and my face felt warm. “Correct,‖ she said.

It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn‘t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. 61.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?

A. It is wise to value one‘s time.B. It is important to make an effort C. It is right to stick to one‘s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.

62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.

A. recite their homework togetherB. grade their homework themselves

C. answer their homework questions orallyD. check the answers to their homework questions

63.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______. A. asked questions in a regular way

B. walked up and down when asking questions C. chose two or three questions for the students

D. requested her students to finish their usual questions

64.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______. A. the class didn‘t begin as usual

B. several students didn‘t come to school C. he didn‘t try hard to make his estimate

D. Mrs. Totten didn‘t start from the back of the class

65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future Mathematician C. An Effective ApproachD. A Valuable Lesson C

The behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own --- though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.

The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率), which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.

‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,‘ explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, ?consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.‘ In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.

Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.

Social science research has added a further dimension (方面）, suggesting that individuals’ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted --- whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.

Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.

66.As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________. A. zero-carbon homes B. the behaviour of building users

C. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions 67.The underlined word ―which‖ in Paragraph 2 refers to‖________.‖ A. the waysB. their homes

C. developments D. existing efforts

68.What are Katy Janda‘s words mainly about?

A. The importance of changing building users, habits. B. The necessity of making a careful building design. C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users. D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency. 69.The information gap in energy use _______. A. can be bridged by feedback facilities B. affects the study on energy monitors C. brings about problems for smart meters D. will be caused by building users‘ old habits

70.What does the dimension added by social science research suggest? A. The social science research is to be furthered. B. The education programme is under discussion. C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable. D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar. Part IV Writing (45 marks) Section A (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.

Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great.In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分). Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.

Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right

companions. Second, don‘t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.

Section B (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Kids and Ponds

Years ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn‘t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.

One day. a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures (签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him.

At the meeting of the town planning board (委员会), the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly.But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds, his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children. A few days later, the developer stopped his plan.

Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning board. This time as an expert witness, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development. Finally some condominiums were built, but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land, and are still there today.

81. What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in winter? (No more than 6 words)(2 marks)

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children‘s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children‘s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don‘t help their parents with the shopping don‘t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.

Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled. 1. A. natural B. strongC. guiltyD. similar

However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn‘t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the

wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can‘t understand why everyone is so surprised. ―I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,‖ says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can‘t play it. Samuel says confidently,‖ It‘s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.‖

However, Samuel‘s ability to remember things doesn‘t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn‘t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

26. What is special about Samuel Osmond? A. He has a gift for writing music.

B. He can write down the note he hears. C. He is a top student at the law school. D. He can play the musical piece he hears. 27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician. C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability. D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers. 28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________. . received a good early education in music . played the guitar and the piano perfectly . could play the piano without reading music . could play the guitar better than his father

29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4? . He became famous during a special event at his college. . He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately. . He plays the piano better than many professional pianists. . He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces. 30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? .

It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, ―Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.‖

It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend‘s refrigerator: ―Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.‖ The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.

Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. ―I thought it was beautiful,‖ she said, explaining why she‘d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, ―like a message from above.‖ Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn‘t know where it came from or what it really meant.

Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.

“Here‘s the idea,‖ Anne says. ―Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.‖ Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, ―Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.‖

The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!

31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her? A. She knew the car drivers well. B. She wanted to show kindness. C. She hoped to please others. D. She had seven tickets.

32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she . A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall

D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom

33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith. C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert.

34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?

A. Kindness and violence can change the world.

B. Kindness and violence can affect one‘s behavior. C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. D. Kindness and violence can shape one‘s character. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. People should practice random kindness to those in need. B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet. D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. C

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That‘s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a smallvillage near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

36. What do we know about the author?

A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature.

37. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author

A. discussed his decision with his family. B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work

C. attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends

38. In his application for the volunteer job, the author

A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests

C. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other

candidates

39. On arrival at the village, the author was

C. received warmly by local villagers D. arranged to live in a separate house. 40. What can we infer from the author‘s experiences in Nigeria? A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture B. He had learned to communicate in the local language.

C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. D

Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years‘ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.

Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.

The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.

As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.

41. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.

A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings 42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.

A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missing

C. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident 43. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?

A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.

C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in

the library.

44. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ___________________. A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world B. making records for any lost objects on the sea C. running a global currents research association D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea

45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution. B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean. C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.

D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach. 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport（护照）.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband‘s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents（文件）. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot ―greener‖ toward the environment（环境）. ―We didn‘t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,‖ says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. ―The understanding has increased many, many times,‖ says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.

According to US government reports, emissions（排放）from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of ―Green thinking ‖ has become part of practices .

Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling（回收利用）programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .

Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it‘s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .‖ Until we do that, nothing else will change! ‖ say Bruce Anderson. 25 According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___ A. the social movement B. recycling techniques

C. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day

One of the latest trend（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that‘s true all across the country.

―I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age‖ Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year old son. ―I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,‖ After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.

Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn‘t want her children to miss out on their roots.‖ Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture（文化）.‖ she says.

―Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,‖ says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.‖ But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.‖

Which boy hasn‘t dreamed of being a cool secret agent（特工）? The wonderful fighting and the world-saving adventures are much more colourful than most people‘s everyday lives. Well, Cody Banks is just like any other boy, except that he is not just dreaming. He has a big secret his friends never know about. He was trained to be a spy（间谍）by a special CIA programme, which was made to look like a summer camp. He learned high-speed driving, hand-to-hand fighting and the use of high-tech tools.

After proving he could become a young hero by saving a baby from a runaway car, Banks gets his first real task. He must make friends with a popular girl at school, Natalie Connors. Then, he must spy on her father, a scientist who has developed a dangerous technology（技术）. Banks must stop a group of bad people from forcing Natalie‘s father into using the technology to endanger the world.

The CIA may have taught him first-class self-defence moves, but they didn‘t show him hoe to talk to girls. Banks has zero ability when it comes to dealing with girls. How can he get around his problem and get an invitation to the girl‘s upcoming birthday party? Will he finally become Natalie‘s boyfriend and find out whatever he can about her father‘s work?

Agent Cody Banks has everything that young people are interested in: big explosions, breath-taking performances and funny girl-dating experiences. It was listed in No.2 in the American box office last week.

―This story is interesting and fun for the whole family to enjoy, and especially cool for young boys.‖ said Paul Perkins, a film reviewer in the US. 72. What is Bank‘s first real task?

One morning, Ann‘s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.

Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.

Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys‘ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.

―If it hadn‘t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,‖ Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, ―That dog saved my friend‘s son.‖

It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.

Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.

That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We‘d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.

We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.

Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart‘s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They‘re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.

46.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A. 1952 B. 1962 C. 1972 D. 1982

47.What does the underlined word‖It‖ in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The heat B. The theater.

C. The Music Man D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 48.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?

A. He loved children very much. B. He was a fan of John Wayne. C. He sold air conditioners. D. He was a movie star.

49.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times? A. The two movies were really wonderful. B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside. C. The manager of the theater was friendly.

D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater. 50.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The author turned out to be a great singer. B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.

C. The author‘s life has been changed by the two movies.

D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable. C

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as ―Mumbet‖ or ―Mum Bett.‖

For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley‘s wife tried to strike Mumbet‘s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.

While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.

Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

Mumbet‘s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: ―She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.‖

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in

Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don‘t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you‘re brushing long enough. ―It‘s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,‖ says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. ―We try to make it smart but also fun,‖ Several says. Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said ―yes,‖ but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.

Serval says that one day, it‘ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

56. Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush?

A. It can sense how users brush their teeth. B. It can track users‘ school performance. C. It can detect users‘ fear of seeing a dentist. D. It can help users find their phones. 57. What can we learn from Serval‘s words in Paragraph 3? A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.

B. You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.

C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist. D. You‘d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.

58. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?

A. It can be used to update mobile phones. B. It can be used to play mobile phone games C. It can send messages to other users D. It can talk to its developers. 59. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him.

B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary. C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth. D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush 60. What can we infer about Serval‘s children? A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.

C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head. D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

61. What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?

A. The brush handle will be removed. B. A mobile phone will be built into it. C. It will be used to fill holes in teeth D. It will be able to check users‘ teeth E

The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.

The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.

The goal is to find out whether kids using today‘s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they‘re already amazed. ―What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,‖ said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.

The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device‘s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.

With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ―Seven months ago he didn‘t know any English. That‘s unbelievable,‖ said Keller.

The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn. It won‘t be in Amharic, Ethiopia‘s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.

62. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village? A. It trains teachers for them. B. It contributes to their self-study.

C. It helps raise their living standards. D. It provides funds for building schools. 63. What can we infer from Keller‘s words in Paragraph 3? A. They need more time to analyze data. B. More children are needed for the research.

C. He is confident about the future of the project. D. The research should be carried out in kindergartens.

64. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______. A. learn English words quickly. B. draw pictures of animals.

C. write letters to researchers. D. make phone calls to his friends. 65. What is the aim of the project?

A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs. B. To make Amharic widely used in the world. C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English. D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language. 第II卷（共45分）

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）

阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.

[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride

projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.

[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes. [4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.

[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.

66. What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 12 words)

_______________________________________________________________________________

67. What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects? (no more than 10 words)
