(A)It was a chilly November evening in New York City,and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That man's cold, Daddy. Can we take him home?”I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn’t even four.A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears.Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that’s good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not thewoman's alone—it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder which of us has benefited more?26. What do you know about the man Nora noticed on that evening ?A. He was asking for food.B. He was one of those homeless.C. He was taken home by the author.D. He was buying a newspaper.27. Why did the author have a sudden heavy feeling (para.2)?A. Because his daughter had noticed the dark side of life.B. Because he did not want to take the guy home.C. Because he felt a deep sympathy for the guy.D. Because his daughter was afraid of what she saw.28. In what order did the story take place?a.I happened to read a piece of writing about volunteers.b.Nora found a man and wanted to help him.c.We just not only help reduce the poverty of the woman, but also the poverty in our lives.d.Unlike Nora, I entered the woman’s house un willingly that Sunday afternoon.e.We went to pick up the food package in the nearby school.A. a-e-d-b-cB. a-b-e-d-cC. b-d-a-e-cD. b-a-e-d-c29.

What is the best title for this passage?A. A Loving KidB. Volunteers at WorkC. A Lesson in CaringD. How to Help the Needy(B)A few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who stuck bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone- shaped(锥形) object that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle straps tied to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute(降落伞).Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci drew a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of a pyramid( 金字塔). Other inventors also drew their own designs for a parachute. Unluckily, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci's parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Tying his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely . He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.31. Who designed the first known parachute ?A. FrenchmenB. ItaliansC. CroatiansD. Englishmen32. What was Leonardo da Vinci’s para chute shaped like ?A. A coneB. a featherC. a pyramidD. a sail33.

He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.34. Who was the first man to successfully use a parachute?A. It was said to be Leonardo da Cinci.B. We know for sure he was Veranzio.C. There were some historical records.D. We don’t know for sure yet.35. What is the passage is mainly about ?A. The beginning of the parachute.B. The dream of flying and falling.C. The courage of dropping from the sky.D. The usage of parachute invention.（C）Italian Lakes and Greek Islands(12 Days)Prices starting from S 1,999Your tour begins in Milan, Italy, and moves on to the Italian Lake District and the attractive places of interest in Stresa, your home for two nights.

We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible.Notonly was the majority of the furniture /stalls /toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to throw rubbish in specially marked dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that guests were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience extremely fun but also really interesting.Having never been to amusic festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic (有机的) fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations( 设施), and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that doesn’t cause great damage to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals before we realized just how bad they were for the environment!41.

There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrongBut even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion andmemory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says.“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster4. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?A. Not all of them are related to one’s age.B. Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.C. They occur only among certain groups of people.D. They are quite common among fifty-year-old people.5. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriouslyA. Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.B. Inability to recall details of one’s life experiencesC. Failure to remember the names of movies or actorsD. Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.6. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A. Check the brain’s cognitive reserve.B. Stop medications affecting memory.C. Turn to a professional for assistance.D. Exercise to improve their well-being7. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice forfight against memory loss?A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.B. Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.C. Engaging in known memory repair activities.D. Staying active both physically and mentallyCOne billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved. Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg (about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved. No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling. Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters. Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility.8. What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A. The size of the iceberg.B. The colour of the iceberg.C. The salt in the iceberg.D. The movement of air and water.9. What is the author’ attitude towards transporting iceberg?A. Pessimistic.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. It is hard to use iceberg.B. Iceberg are a good choice.C. There are problems with iceberg.D. Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shortage of water.B. Icebergs for water.C. Scientists and icebergs.D. Iceberg—scientists headache.DThe health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep bloodsugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer.

There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects.

He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.“Users of the app can use their credit to buy gifts, such as books and cellphones to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas,” Lin said.A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online. Efforts to stop food waste and promote thrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food. They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and currently has nearly 1 million users.Liu Jichen, founder of the startup that developed the app, said that the idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.“Such an idea can be realized online,” Liu said. He formed a team to work on the project.Yet it was quite challenge for the AI system to identify whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.To make the AI system smarter, Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100, 000 samples in canteens and restaurants across the country and used the data to train neural network. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the startup to cooperate on the project.Through the visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which willeffectively reduce waste, he noted.

Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss. She went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met Ms Moore and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems that she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it's almost painful—like a light that's toobright.12. What do we know about Bishop's early life?A. She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.B. She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.C. She was always encouraged by her parents.D. She started to write poems at five.13. Why are Bishop's letters to Moore and Lowell important?A. They have a deep influence on other poets.B. They offer much information about her life.C. They help us study Moore and Lowell's poetry.D. They prove she had friendships with famous poets.14. What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?A. She liked to write in the morning.B. She could write poems at high speed.C. She tried her best to achieve perfection.D. She published hundreds of books of poetry.15. Which word can be used to best describe the style of Bishop’s poems?A. Enthusiastic.B. Romantic.C. Humorous.D. Exact.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.4. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A. He was too polite to refuse.B. He was hoping to get noticed.C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.5. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ .A. he had experienced hunting monstersB. he had played the same role in a movieC. he knew the writer of the books personallyD. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in6. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill?A. Modest and friendly.B. Determined and kind.C. Talented and faithful.D. Honest and considerate.7. What made Cavill a real-life hero?A.

Wearing a cape to take part in activities.CSummer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.8. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.9. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.10. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.11. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.A. browse the unofficial website of NASAB. watch a video recorded by a flight centerC. stream a live show on Aug. 11 nightD. use special devices to connect with the showerDThis is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.12. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soilB. the spaceship was about to land on the moonC. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minuteD. scientists were not satisfied with the samples brought back by Neil13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Scott made a new proposal about the moon's origin.B. The Apollo missions brought back 842 rock samples.C. "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5" brought new evidence to the moon's formation.D. Wadhwa and her husband climbedMount Everestwith a moon rock.14. What is this text?A. A short interview.B. An introduction to a scientist.C. An inspiring speech.D. A broadcast story of a program.15. What is the text mainly about?A. A romantic story of a moon rock.B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I can't even remember living anywhere else!" Linda said, fighting back tears.Mrs. Turner put an arm around her daughter's shoulder. "This won't go 22 for any of us," she said. "Dad and I love this house, too. We have so many happy memories here. But we're tired of living with such uncertainty. The most 23 thing in the world to us is that our family stays safe."Mr. Turner 24 . "Girls, there are other places in Hawaii where we'll feel safer. We'll have to 25 our house, but you know home is wherever we go as a family. We'll make new 26 , and we'll find things to love about our new home."The girls were quiet for a moment as they considered 27 it would mean to move. "There are so many things I'll 28 here," said Kala quietly."We all will," said Mrs. Turner. "But one of the places that your dad and I have looked at is only a few minutes' walk to the beach."Kala and Linda couldn't help 29 when they heard that. They both spent every spare minute they had surfing. If their parents told them that they could actually live in the water, they would have been perfectly happy.Mr. Turner walked around to the other side of the table. He put one large hand on each of his daughter's shoulders. "I'm proud of you two," he said. "Thank you for trying to 30 why this is so important to your mom and me."Linda and Kala smiled.

Simard and her colleagues have made the major discovery that trees and plants really do communicate and interact with each other.Trees live on through their group work and support, passing around the resources such as nitrogen and carbon “depending on who needs it by miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is cut down, it affects all.Simard talks about "Mother Trees". These are the largest, oldest trees that rise above the forest, a concept explained in the movie Avatar. These “Mother Trees" are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother Trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are losing the chances to save the whole forest."We didn't take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Mother Trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could send this message tothe forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.31．Trees can share resources with other ones by________.A．the help from animals B．underground fungi networksC．the communication with people D．neurons in the system of brains 32．"Mother Trees" are very important because they________.A．bring wealth to the scientists B．pass on nutrition to young trees C．get more from the complex “tree societies”D．seem more likely to be cut down by humans33．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to________ .A．how trees grow old B．how "tree societies" workC．how young trees are saved D．how forestry industry develops 34．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Trees Are Rich in Resources B．Trees Are Good for Our Society C．Trees Are in Need of Protection D．Trees Are More Complex Than We Think Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year．Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood﹣powered ofcoal﹣powered stoves．One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun．Crosby Menzies，a solar power expert in a South African company，described his latest solar cooker called t he“Sol.4”，”It is four square meters of mirrors，six to eight meters in length．It is quite a large cooler．”The“Sol.4”works by reflecting （反射）light from the sun off large mirrors．The mirrors direct （把…对准）the light at a cooking pan．Then the light heats the pan with solar energy．Within two minutes，the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions．In just four minutes，water can be boiled．That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity．The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because peo ple do not have to stand in the sun to use it．And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal．Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke．At present，the cooker only works when the sun is shining．But engineers are working on a试卷第6页，总10页way to make it work without sunlight ．Each cooker costs about $2000，which is a large amount of money for most Africans ．To solve that problem ，Crosby Menzies has crated a non ﹣governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa ．It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment ．35．This passage is mainly about ． A ．solar cookers B ．smoke pollution C ．solar power experts D ．breathing illnesses36．The “Sol ﹣4”is m ainly used to ． A ．shorten the time of cooking B ．reduce the cost of making cookersC ．raise money through donations to help African peopleD ．reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke ．37．The underlined word “individuals“ most probably means“ ” A ．cookersB ．mirrorsC ．peopleD ．experts38．Which of the following about the “Sol ﹣4”is TRUE ？ A ．It is six to eight square meters of mirrors ． B ．It can work in any weather condition now C ．It can also heat the pan by lighting firewoodD ．It is more environment ﹣friendly than other cookers ． 39．From the passage ，we can infer that ． A ．the “Sol ﹣4”will be designed in a smaller size B ．more African can use the solar cookers in the future C ．the “Sol ﹣4”is the first product of the south African company D ．the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers ．My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3: @ kids FTF. ILNY, it's gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad. Neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: thelanguage of computerized communication found on Internet or mobile phones. To newcomers, it may look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the ‘translation' of the sentence above? It means: My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York, it's great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"40．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A．To give an example of a foreign language. B．To show an example of creative methods. C．To express worries about using Netspeak. D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak. 41．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.试卷第8页，总10页42．The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ________.

in the kitchen．He's in his perfect place when dicing tomatoes，making salads and baking cakes．By the time 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 it stays wet，and the right amount of tomatoes to add to the noodles or fishes．At the age of 5，he cooked his first dish．Taking it for his school lunch，he warmed it up in the school's microwave，while the other kids ate their sandwiches．"I love to eat，and it started to become more fun to cook than to use a microwave，"he said．Cooking came easy to Kenny，and he enjoyed adding new ingredients （作料） into common dishes．"It started with a strong interest and I wanted to know more，"he said．He began to watch the Food Network and read chef（大厨）blogs．Last summer，Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater （备办食物）for his uncle's wedding．While she cooked traditional

following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael 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 powerfulas 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

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 of eye﹣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 shows how the eye recognition happens43．According to Paragraph 4，for now，machines can identify people by ．A．fingers and smellB．face and voiceC．voice and fingerD．hand and face44．What does Paragraph 4also talk aboutA．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 passageA．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 World Water Day every year．According to a report from the United Nations，more than half of the world's major
