In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系统）and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vacation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talk ed about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest(投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese wants a strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. President Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's resolution to address the environment issue.21．Why smog has become a common concern?A．Because nobody can avoid it.B．Because people have to pay higher prices.C．Because we have to develop industry.D．Because a popular online-post discussed it.22．To make China stronger we have to develop economy, but .A．we have to sacrifice air as the price B．ecological progress can be ignoredC．the dirty air is not what we want D．the smog is the only byproduct23．The underlined word “they” in paragraph 6 refers to.A．space technologies B．other plantsC．human beings D．industrial development24．From the last two paragraphs we can infer that .A．high-tech can completely solve the problem of pollutionB．we must protect the environment while developing economyC．we can move to the Mars after the earth has been destroyedD．space technologies should be developed in a large scaleB“Shark on the bait (诱饵)!” shouted Andre Harman, pointing to a spot a few yards behind the outboard motors. His voice gave no indication of panic, but the crew suddenly became tense and fixed their eyes on the water. Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the bait. The shark followed. No one asked what kind of shark it was. Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark.Andre lifted the bait aboard. Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the water just as the great head reached the fir st motor. “My goodness！Andre!” I said. His hand seized the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the shark’s head up as it rose out of the water. Andre’s hand held the nose, touching it gently. No one spoke. No one breathed. The moment seemed endless. In fact, it lasted less than five seconds before Andre pulled his hand back.Still nobody spoke. Then Andrew smiled and said: “The first time was an accident. I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor. Sharks are attracted to motors by their electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable.” Andre has worked with great white sharks for years. “My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it.”Nearly every encounter (遭遇) we had had with the great whites had been totally illogical. The more we learned, the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years. Back then, it was generally accepted that great whites ate people by choice. Now we know that almost every attack on a human is an accident in which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food. Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death. Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that it has made a mistake and doesn’t return for a second bite.25. The author said, “My goodness! Andre!” when _____.A. Andre was about to fall into the waterB.Andre was followed by the sharkC. Andre was about to touch the sharkD. Andre was bitten by the shark26. What does the author think of the encounters with great whites?A. Exciting.B. Frightening.C. Educational.D. Reasonable.27. Most bite victims survive in shark attacks because ______.A. sharks stop attacking themB. sharks discover they are no threatsC. they manage to swim to safetyD. they are taught how to fight off sharksC'Self-reward' may explain luxury purchases in China. Chinese consumers' greedy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable, with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's luxury items. As China's economic miracle continues and spreads across second- and third-class cities, the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are unlimited.Luxury consumption in China now extends way beyond well-known car, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world, even passing that of the United States, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to be continuing, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US.But more important, China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items. China's high-quality red wine market also provides clear evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods. In 2013, China became the largest market for red wine in the world, even overtaking the French, with 1.86 billion bottles drunk in China last year. Over the past five years, China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.But far more attention is still paid to the visible signs of Chinese consumers' luxury shopping. Public consumption of such expensive, global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to "gain face" and publicly display social climbing through material possessions. Consequently, celebrity endorsement（名人代言）features heavily in the marketing ofsuch luxury items.Private consumption of luxury items is, however, less well understood. According to my ongoing consumer research in this area, it is "self-reward" that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly tendency to the need to reward themselves for their success. But this has little to do with "gaining face" and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.28. What can we infer from the passage? .A. Chinese luxury jet market is growing faster than the USA.B. Chinese luxury consumption is only well-known car.C. Chinese luxury jet market is less growing in the world.D. China's economic is always miracle.29. What examples can stand for the development in the private luxury consumption?A. China's luxury jet and labour market growth.B. China's economic miracle and red wine market growth.C. China's luxury jet and nice red wine market growth.D. China's labour and nice red wine market growth.30. There is celebrity endorsement is because .A. people want to gain their more material possessions.B. people buy luxury goods for getting more money.C. people want to protect their material possessions.D. people compete in buying luxury goods for their “face”.31. What tendency do Chinese consumers have? .A. To gain face than to do anything else.B. To reward themselves than to gain face.C. To get more money than to gain face.D. To get more money than to reward themselves.. DOn a clear night, the sky is a wonderful thing. Is there life out there somewhere? Is there another place like Earth where life might exist? If so, where is it? And how far away is it?Recently, the Kepler spacecraft found “22b”, a planet about six hundred light years away. It is the first planet in a “habitable zone” outside the solar system. That means the planet orbits(环绕) a star like our sun, but it is not too close to it, nor too far away. Because of this position, Kepler-22b might have water, one of the main things needed for life. The newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the Earth. It is closer to its star than we are to the Sun, but 22b’s sun is smaller than ours, and doesn’t produce as much heat. Scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases, rocks or some kinds of liquids.The Kepler spacecraft was named in honor of Johannes Kepler, the seventeenth century German astronomer. It was designed to examine a small part of the Milky Way galaxy(星系)and search for places like the Earth. It was made to inspect over 150,000 stars and measure how bright they are. It looks to see if a star’s brightness gets less over a short time.If a planet passes between Kepler and the star, it blocks out part of the light. That is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star. The instruments on Kepler show the new planet as a small, black dot moving across its sun. An important part of the Kepler experiment is on the Earth. After the spacecraft gathers information, scientists use the telescopes on the ground.Scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since Kepler was launched. Most are much larger, but it is the new planet’s distance from its star that is important. For life to possibly exist there, the planet’s temperature must not be too hot or too cold.32. What can we learn about Kepler-22b?A. It is the first planet in outer space where life may surviveB. It takes humans about 600 years to get there.C. It is made of gases, rocks and plenty of liquids.D. Water must have existed on it.33. The Kepler spacecraft was sent into space toA. show honor to Johannes KeplerB. look for Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxyC. observe the changes of a star’s brightnessD. measure the brightest star among 150.000 stars34. In Paragraph 4 the author mainly tells usA.how the Kepler system shows a new planetB. if the Kepler system sees a new planetC. how the Kepler system worksD. why an important part of the Kepler system remains on the Earth35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Life may exist on the new planet in another form.B. It is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller.C. The new planet’s distance from its star decides on the possibility of life existence.D. Life can’t exist on planets which are much larger than the Earth.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）36 Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge （隆起）structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by a new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. 37 Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can be recorded easily.38 Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain.39 . When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. 40 Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.A. Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.B. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.C. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.D. A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all parts of the finger.E. A latent print is the chance reproduction of the friction ridges deposited on the surface of an item.F. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.G. Special techniques are used to “develop” them.第三部分、词汇一、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. -- Jonathan SwiftI walked into a wild third-grade classroom.
