　　I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

　　The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.

　　We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

　　I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in zxx.k and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

　　24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

　　A.Paul Newman wanted it. B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

　　C.He wasn’t famous enough. D.The director recommended someone else.

　　25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

　　A.They were of the same dge. B.They worked in the same theater.

　　C.They were both good actors. D.They han similar charactertics.

　　26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A.Their belief. B.Their care for chileden.

　　C.Their success. D.Their support for each other.

　　27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

　　A.To show his love of films. B.To remember a friend.

　　C.To introduce a new movie. D.To share his acting experience.

　　C

　　Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats， four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

　　Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

　　Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.

　　Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find redatively easy to meet.

　　28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

　　A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars.

　　C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.

　　29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?

　　A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.

　　C. It is very expensive. D. It bums too much fuel.

　　30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?

　　A. Cautious B. Favorable.

　　C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

　　31. What is the best title for the text?

　　A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s Fist Flight

　　C.Pilots’Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality

　　Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.

　　Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

　　In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

　　Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.

　　Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

　　32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?

　　A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.

　　D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.

　　34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .

　　I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.

　　I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.

　　I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.

　　The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.

　　Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.

　　A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

　　Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.

　　Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.

　　It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.

　　“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that mu generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”

　　Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.

　　Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”

　　28.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?

　　A.To remember the birth of jazz.

　　B.To protect cultural diversity.

　　C.To encourage people to study music.

　　D.To recognize the value of jazz.

　　29.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A.Jazz becoming more accessible.

　　B.The production of jazz growing faster.

　　C.Jazz being less popular with the young.

　　D.The jazz audience becoming larger.

　　30.What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?

　　A.It will disappear gradually.

　　B.It remains black and white.

　　C.It should keep up with the times.

　　D.It changes every 50 years.

　　31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A.Exploring the Future of jazz.

　　B.The Rise and Fall of jazz.

　　C.The Story of a jazz Musician.

　　D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.

　　30.C 细节理解题。根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same可知Moran认为爵士乐不能以1908或1958年的方式来表达当代，因为世界运转的方式不同，所以爵士乐必须继续前进才行。说明随着时代的发展，爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。

　　31.A 推理判断题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视设立爵士日，但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则将失去吸引力。可知本文主要探索爵士乐的未来，故选A。

　　D

　　To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.

　　Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.

　　The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.

　　32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?

　　A.It’s delicate.B.It’s expensive.

　　C.It’s complex.D.It’s portable

　　33.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?

　　A.The tube B.The still

　　C.The hole D.The cup

　　34.What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?

　　A.Dig a hole of a certain sizeB.Put the cup in place

　　C.Weight the sheet’s center downD.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet

　　35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .

　　A.the plastic tube B.outside the hole

　　C.the open air D.beneath the sheet

　　【答案】

　　34.C 细节题。根据第三段Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock.可知最后一步是weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock“放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去”，故选C。

　　35.D 推理判断题。结合第四段中的Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup可知地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来直到形成小水滴落在杯子里。覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里。所以水滴是凝聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选D。

　　第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36

　　The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.

　　37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.

　　I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.

　　38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

　　39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

　　40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

　　A.This time there was no tent.

　　B.Things are going to be improved.

　　C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.

　　D.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.

　　E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

　　F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.

　　G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

　　38.A根据前文We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom可知作者第一次露营时住帐篷，露天生火做饭，走很远的距离去洗澡上厕所，条件很艰苦。而后文中Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. 说明作者第二次露营有床有空调 A选项This time there was no tent“这次没有帐篷了”暗示作者进行了第二次露营，而且条件比较好，符合语境。故选A。

　　39.F 根据后文we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.可知作者一家为了露营买了房车，里面设备齐全。既然花了这么大精力，说明作者一家人是喜欢露营的。F选项After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping“那次露营之后，我的家人开始对它感兴趣”符合语境，故选F。

　　40.E 根据后文It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.可知作者希望每个人能找到适合自己的回归自然的方法，而根据前文可知作者回归

　　阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界) 61a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62 (effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

　　Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63 (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 67 (be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

　　Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health.

　　66. worse 考查比较级。句意：更糟糕的是，人们所吃快餐的数量增加了。故填worse。

　　68. eating 考查动名词。句意：通过吃更多的快餐，人们将在饮食中摄入超过需求量的脂肪和盐。根据前文中的by可知此处应该填名词，所以填eat的动名词形式。故填eating。

　　69. careful 考查形容词。句意：然而，注意不要走极端。分析语境可知be后面应该用形容词做表语，故填careful。

　　70. which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：很可能摄入过多的脂肪和盐，那对健康没有好处。分析可知which is not good for the health为非限制性定语从句，先行词为前文中的have too much of both“摄入过多的脂肪和盐”。故填which。

　　第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)

　　第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题l分，满分10分)

　　假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

　　增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。

　　删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。

　　修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

　　注意：

　　1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;

　　2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。

　　In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank, I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.

　　73 so改为but 考查连词。根据句意可知作者本以为自己已经掌握了教练的话，结果一发动车，脑中一片空白。所以前后文为转折关系。故将so改为but。

　　74 goes改为went 考查时态。根据前文中的started可知时态为一般过去时，故将goes改为went。

　　75 word改为words 考查单复数。句意：教练一直喊“加速”，“减速”，“左转” word的意思主要是“单词,消息”，words 可以表示为word的复数，也表示某人说的话。这里指教练说的那些话，故将word改为words。

　　78 late改为later 考查副词。做形容词的时候，later是late的比较级，如：Their deadline is quite late. Ours is even later.(他们的截止日期很迟.我们的更迟.)做副词的时候，late是迟的意思，later是稍后、随后的意思。句意：几分钟之后 故将late改为later。

　　79 suddenly改为sudden 考查形容词。句意：我来了个紧急刹车。suddenly是副词，表示“意外地，忽然地”。 sudden为形容词，表示“突然的;迅速的”。a sudden stop表示“急刹车”。故将suddenly改为sudden。

　　80 on改为of 考查介词。分析语境可知作者表示“在路中间急刹车”，on the road表示“在路上”， the middle of the road表示“路的中央”，强调的是“the middle”。故将on改为of。

　　第二节 书面表达(满分25分)

　　Last year, I was assigned to work at an office near my mother’s house, so I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.

　　After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly ?we were always suddenly out of something. (25)_______(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks. To hmy surprise, I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine. Eventually, I decided to follow her and (26)_______ happened truly amazed me. She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in (27)______ she distributed it to children.

　　I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area. The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their own mother. Then it hit me 梥hy would she mot want to tell me about what she (28)_____(do)? Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (29)_____(buy) the groceries if I found out?e

　　When she got home, I told her about my discovery. (30)_____ she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (31)______ me. She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets. For years, my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare. I was so impressed by (32)_____ selfless she was.

　　(B)

　　Stress: Good or Bad?

　　Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.

　　In recent years, stress(33)______(regard) as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress(34)______ does you harm. It is time you considered that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stress, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain point, the more stress you are under, the (35)_____(good) your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, though , further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and finally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself (36)_______ number of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is being expected of (37)______, and yet find it impossible to say no? Do you find yourself getting impatient of (38) _____(annoy) with people over unimportant things?... If the answer to all those questions is yes, you had better(39)______(control ) your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.

　　To some extent you can control the amount of stress in your life. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stress is involved in various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12,etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely (40)_______ (get )ill.

　　What makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.

　　Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42

　　More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.

　　Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.

　　From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature梥ight, smell, touch and taste. bThese are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.

　　III. Reading Comprehension

　　Section A

　　Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

　　In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.

　　In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.

　　Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making梐ll members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are bnased on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.

　　A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.

　　Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65

　　of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

　　51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike

　　52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme

　　53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise

　　54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above

　　65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractiveness

　　Section B

　　Direction：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

　　(A)

　　One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.

　　“Is it good?” I asked her.

　　“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.

　　“慞atty Poem,?r” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:

　　She never puts her toys away,

　　Just leaves them scattered① where they lay,… ①散乱的

　　The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:

　　When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重

　　I’ll miss her harum-scarum③ noise, ③莽撞的

　　④ for scattered toys. ④徒劳地

　　’ll be sad.

　　A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.

　　“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.

　　To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.

　　“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.

　　“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”

　　She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”

　　“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.

　　I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.

　　66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?

　　A. It was a thick enough book.

　　B. Something on its cover caught her eye.

　　C. Her mother was reading it with interest.

　　D. It has a meaningful title.

　　67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.

　　A. sad B. excited C. horrified D. confused

　　68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.

　　A. it reflected her own childhood

　　B. it was written in simple language

　　C. it was composed by a famous poet

　　D. it gave her a hint of what would happen

　　69. It can be concluded from the passage that揚atty Poem攍eads the awriter to _______.

　　A. discover the power of poetry

　　B. recognize her love for puzzles

　　C. find her eagerness to grow up

　　D. experience great homesickness

　　(B)

　　Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.

　　3.5℃

　　This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.

　　2℃

　　To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.

　　1.5

　　This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.

　　0.8℃

　　This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.

　　0℃

　　The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.

　　70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.

　　A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020

　　B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries

　　C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol

　　D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming

　　71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?

　　A. The human population would increase by one third.

　　B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.

　　C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.

　　D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.

　　72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.

　　A. 0.8℃ B. 1.5℃

　　C. 2℃ D. 3.5℃

　　(C)

　　Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

　　The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

　　“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

　　It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.

　　Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.

　　Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.

　　Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.

　　The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.

　　73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?

　　A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.

　　B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.

　　C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.

　　D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.

　　74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.

　　A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme

　　B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think

　　C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale

　　D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

　　75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.

　　A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old

　　B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand

　　C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future

　　D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of

　　76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.

　　A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites

　　B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark

　　C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark

　　D. avoid providing too much personal information

　　77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

　　A. Say no to social media?

　　B. New security rules in operation?

　　C. Accept without reading?

　　D. Administration matters!

　　Section C

　　Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

　　Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵)’s busiest stations.

　　In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.

　　A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.

　　According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.

　　A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”

　　Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up梞eaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is moore effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.

　　The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.

　　In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.

　　(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

　　78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?

　　79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?

　　80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.

　　81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.

　　I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

　　The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.

　　We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, zxx.k but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

　　I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

　　24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

　　A.Paul Newman wanted it.

　　B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

　　C.He wasn’t famous enough.

　　D.The director recommended someone else.

　　25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

　　A.They were of the same dge.

　　B.They worked in the same theater.

　　C.They were both good actors.

　　D.They han similar charactertics.

　　26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

　　A.Their belief.

　　B.Their care for chileden.

　　C.Their success.

　　D.Their support for each other.

　　27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

　　A.To show his love of films.

　　B.To remember a friend.

　　C.To introduce a new movie.

　　D.To share his acting experience.

　　24--27 CDAB

　　细节理解题。根据“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul,因此，可知作者当时还不是很有名。故选C。

　　Terrafugia Inc .said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The wehicle-named the Transition – has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

　　Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

　　Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted z&xxkthe company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety siandards.

　　Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.

　　28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

　　A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars.

　　C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.

　　29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?

　　A. It causers traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.

　　C. It is very expensive. D. It bums too much fuel.

　　30. What is the govemment’s attitude to the development of the flying car?

　　A. Cautious B. Favorable.

　　C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

　　31. What is the best title for the text?

　　A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s Fist Flight

　　C.Pilots’Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality

　　When a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.

　　Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.

　　Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who are natural enemies to the attackers . zxx|k Once they arrive,the tables are turned.The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

　　In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

　　Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.

　　Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

　　32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?

　　A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.

　　C. It stands quietly D. It sends out certain chemicals.

　　33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?

　　A. The attackers get attacked.

　　B. The insects gather under the table.

　　C. The plants get ready to fight back.

　　D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.

　　34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .

　　A.predict natural disasters B.protect themselves against insects

　　C.talk to one another intentionally D.help their neighbors when necessary

　　35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　A.The word is changing faster than ever.

　　B.People have stronger senses than before

　　C.The world is more complex than it seems

　　D.People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.
