中In 1935, Allen Lane, an Englishman, was stuck at Exeter Station looking for a good book to read during his train ride, but all that he found were magazines and 1 Victorian era novels. This got him thinking, “What if good books were sold 2 in paperback form? What if they were found not only in 3 bookshops, but also in a lot of retailers and even at 4 station s?”Within a year, Allen Lane 5 Penguin Books and sold books written by Ernest Hemingway and Agatha Christie for sixpence. Though there was growing 6 in the publishing industry, only in the first year Penguin Books sold 3 million books. Allen Lane got great success, and became a well-known 7 in England for creating a great business empire (帝国) in the publishing industry.Do you want to 8 your own empire? Then you need to do what Allen Lane did. When he couldn’t find a book that he wanted, he wasn’t 9 . Instead, he guessed that he wasn’t the only one with this 10 . Allen tried hard to come up with a solution to the problem. It would have been 11 to complain that there were no books that could be bought and make sure that he packed a(n) 12 one next time he travelled. But this wasn’t a good way for Allen. Instead, he had a great idea that would solve the problem and 13 set up a company that at last changed how books were 14 all around the world. If you hope to create your own empire, you need to be 15 of your own thought first and then take action to realize your goal. Not only think but act!1. A. particular B. happy C. bad D. old2.

When I was 22 years old, I got a job with the UK government. I was very proud to 16 (give) such a wonderful opportunity soon after I left university. But in the middle of my 17 (happy), I began to feel frightened. I had never been so far away from my family, 18 I depended on for everything.I took a breath. I knew that this job was 19 rare opportunity. Thousands of people had applied. I was one of the 20 (young) applicants chosen for the job.

A易Around a year ago, I went on vacation to France with my friends and we had a great time there. Before booking the holiday I was delighted to hear that they promised to save up enough money to enjoy themselves when they arrived there.The cost of booking a week’s accommodation was around $300. And return flights cost $150. We really thought we had struck a bargain as we were going to stay at a backpacker’s location. We were even more delighted when we heard the cost of living would be cheaper when we got there. We decided to save up $1000 each, which meant that we would have more than enough spending money when we arrived.I never expected that France would be such an excellent skiing destination. Sure, there are the Alps, but I had thought these were only the playgrounds for expert skiers. How wrong I was! There are simply loads of different places in France you can go, regardless of your skiing ability, and you are almost guaranteed (保证) to have a greattime. The facilities (设施) there are also out of this world. It is really a great place to go skiing.We chose France for our vacation, but there are loads of great European ski resorts. If you’re looking for a great time, go to Europe to experience a wholly different way of life and skiing that is simply second to none. Check out your travel agent for good deals, and remember that the more flexible you are, the cheaper your holiday will be. You can avoid peak times, which means you can avoid peak prices. Your vacation in Europe will not cost much, but it can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget.26.

Socially, the whole nation becomes active in celebration. This is the main reason why festivals in India are celebrated by the whole society. On such occasions, families will get together, exchange gifts and greetings, and take part in a lot of celebrations and even special fairs. All these are done to keep the festive spirit alive in modern times. What is special about these celebrations in India is that people celebrate their common culture in their communities.

If so, read on.First, before starting any exploration, you should gather as much information as you can about the territory, its climate conditions, the people you will get in contact with as well as possible encounters with animals, diseases or even plants. All these information is important.Belize’s jungles can be very dense. This particular trip will be pretty extreme. It will be necessary to be physically fit and in good health to accomplish it. I would always recommend seeing a physician before visiting any foreign country to obtain a professional opinion.Choose to travel during the dry season. This is a very wise decision according to my personal experience. You will probably avoid most climate difficulties. During the dry season, the terrain (地势) will be less effort-demanding, humidity (湿度) will be under control, mosquitoes will be much less and snakes tend to stay away from tracks. Once you have a good idea of the territory you are going to, the next step is to pack wisely. You must keep in mind that very useless things will be too energy-demanding. You really want to keep it simple but not too simple because it can put you in danger. Bring a journal and keep a journal. You will use a compass, measuring ropes, and bright markers. On this trip you will be wearing comfortable hiking shoes. Wear long pants and a cotton shirt. Bring hats with a neck guard. No underwear.Maintaining a correct mental attitude is extremely important. A trip like this will require a positive attitude, mental toughness, and determination. At times you cannot see beyond 6 feet in any direction and you begin to think, “What lies beyond those 6 fee t? An animal? A ruin? A cliff?” You always have to expect the unexpected in the jungle. Rules don’t exist there.36. Before going to the jungle of Belize, the first step is to ______.A. get in touch with people thereB. choose the correct destinationC. know about conditions and customs thereD. know about our health and required package37. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ______.A. it’s adv isable to have medical opinions from doctorsB. physical examinations are done in a foreign countryC. this is a particular and pretty trip in our lifeD. extreme weathers can be found all the way38.

Pack as few things as possible.B. Wear comfortable clothes for the trip.C. Avoid getting too tired during the trip.D. Choose wisely the equipment you will carry.40. In the last paragraph, it’s concluded that .A. we should bring something that can help us look farB. we should follow rules while in the jungle of BelizeC. we should keep both mentally positive and behaviorally realisticD. we should have not only a strong toughness but also a firm determinationD难Scientists have known the genetic (基因的) code of sheep to uncover how theybecame a different species from goats four million years ago. The study is the first to find out the genetic formation that makes sheep different from other animals.The findings could help the development of DNA testing to speed up selective breeding programs, helping farmers to improve their sheep. The research finds out the genes that give sheep their wool and uncovers features of their digestion system, which makes them so well-suited to a diet of low quality grass and other plants. It also shows genes that support the work of the stomach that breaks down plant material to make it ready for digestion. Further studies could find diseases that affect sheep. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute, which receives help from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, were part of a global team that had studied the genome sequence — the entire genetic make-up —of sheep for the first time. This team compared the sheep’s genes with those of other animals including humans, cattle, goats and pigs. The study finds out several genes that have something to do with wool production.This research done by 26 research groups in eight different countries was led by researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Australia; BGI and the Kunming Institute of Zoology, China; Utah State University and Baylor College of Medicine in the US and The Roslin Institute. They gave a lot of information, including information that genes are expressed in 40 different tissues (组织). The study paper was published in the magazine Science.Professor Alan Archibald at the Roslin Institute said, “Sheep were one of the first animals to be raised and are still an important part of the global agricultural economy. Understanding more about their genetic make-up will help us to breed healthier and more productive wool.”41. Which one of the following is NOT true?A. Goats and sheep were of the same species.B. Scientists have known the genetic code of sheep.C. Goats came into being from a species of sheep.D. Scientists have known the difference between sheep and goats.42. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about _____.A. the importance of the researchB. the importance of selective breedingC.the fast development of DNA testingD. the features of sheep’s digestion system43. The underlined word “genome” in Paragraph 3 refers to _____.A. tissueB. geneC. sheepD. cell44. How many units did the research separately in China and the USA?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.45. Sheep were chosen to be studied because they _____.A. have a very special entire genetic make-upB. are the first animal raised by human beingsC. are easy to raise compared to other animalsD. contribute to the world’s agricultural developmentIII 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节基础写作（共1小题；满分15分）你接受一项写作任务，要为校报英语栏目写一篇游记。
