It is one of the hottest places on the surface of the earth. The highest ground temperature ever recorded was 93. 90℃ on July 15, 1972. It is the driest place in North America with an average rainfall of only l.96 inches a year. Death Valley also boasts the lowest point in the western hemisphere-Bad-water, at 85. 95 meters below sea level.    Death Valley got its name in 1849, when a group of emigrants were looking for a shortcut to the gold field of California. They were given bad advice and went into the valley. Some of them were killed by the bad weather and harsh road. When the rest finally walked out, they gave the area its name by saying to it "Good-bye, Death Valley".    As the name might suggest, there is very little apparent vegetation within Death Valley. First impressions, however, can be deceiving. Death Valley includes more than 1000 species of plants that have adapted to the harsh conditions.‎ ‎    Death Valley is also a land of beauties. Sunrise and sunset are two of the most spectacular attractions. Depending on different angles, they show many of the area's different moods.For the best viewing, plan to be there approximately one hour before sunset or before sunrise.    Death Valley National Park is open all year round.

A.a programme directed by Dorothy B.a course given by the author C.an activity held by the students D.an organization sponsored by Union College 10.In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing          . A.the long track B.the poor houses C.the same train D.the winding road 11.What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph? A.She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant. B.She got a pen as a gift from the author. C.She passed the required assessment. D.She received her Ph.D.degree.‎ D（改编）‎ Many cities have interesting nicknames. Nicknames can help establish the identity of a city. They can also spread pride among its citizens.     New Orleans, Louisiana probably has more nicknames than any other American city. One web site lists more than twenty nicknames. The most famous is “The Big Easy” It describes the gentle, slow and easy-going way of life in New Orleans.     So how did the city get this nickname? In the early 1900s there was a dance hall in New Orleans called “The Big Easy”. But the nickname did not become famous until the early 1970s. That was when a Louisiana newspaper writer began calling New Orleans by this name. She compared the easy-going way of life there to the hurried ‎ pace of life in New York City.     In 1970, James Conaway wrote a crime novel called “The Big Easy”. The story was set in New Orleans. In 1987, that book was made into a film which made the nickname even more popular.     New Orleans has other nicknames. One of them is “The Crescent(新月) City”. During the 19th century, new neighbourhoods expanded out from what is now known as the French Quarter. These areas followed the great curve (曲线) of the Mississippi River, giving New Orleans the shape of a crescent.     Another nickname is “The Birthplace of Jazz”, because that kind of music started in New Orleans. It is also called “Mardi Gras City” for the wild celebrations and parades that take place there every year. And, there is a nickname that uses the short way to write New Orleans and Louisiana. If you do not want to use the complete name, you can call the city “NOLA”. 12.Which of the following nicknames does not refer to New Orleans? A.The Birthplace of Jazz. B.The Sin City. C.Mardi Gras City. D.The Crescent City. 13.Which of the following statements about New Orleans is not TRUE? A.It has the most nicknames among American cities. B.One of its neighbouring cities is the New York City. C.Its people enjoyed celebrations and parades. D.It is by the river of the Mississippi. 14.Which of the following statements about James Conaway is correct? A.He described the easy-going way of life in New Orleans in his book. B.He was a newspaper writer based in New Orleans. C.He wrote a romantic story named “The Big Easy”. D.His book was adapted into a movie. 15.What’s the best title of the passage? A.The Big Easy B.Cities and nicknames C.New Orleans and its nicknames D.Nicknames—the Identity of a city 第二节 七选五(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中有两项为多余选项。‎ I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台) in her general store. 16.        I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”      At first I was paid in candy.17        I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.18               By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she ‎ promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品).

Knowing the rules of the game you’re playing and using the right  41       (equip) can go a long way toward preventing injuries. If you think you’ve been injured, pull   42      (you) out the game or stop    43    (do) your activity or workout. Let a coach or parent know what happened in case you need to see a doctor. Serious head and neck injuries happen most often in athletes  44     play contact sports like football. Keep the injured person still with his or her head  45     (hold) straight while someone calls for emergency  46     (medicine) help. If the person    47   (lie) on the ground, do not try to move him or her.      Your first question after a sports injury will  48      (probable) be, “When can I play again?” This depends on the injury and what your doctor tells you. Even if you can’t return to your sport right away, a doctor might have suggestions and advice  49     what you can do to stay fit. Always check with your doctor before   50     (try) any activity following an injury.‎ 第三部分　写作(共两节，满分35分)‎ 第一节　短文改错(每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 英语课上，老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。假设以下短文为你同桌所写，请你对其进行修改。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号(∧)，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，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。‎ ‎3．必须按答题要求做题，否则不给分。‎ I saw a traffic accident on my way home on last night.

In a world of computers and the Internet, more people prefer the keyboard to the pen. But Chinese handwriting is an important part of our culture, and the spirit of our nation can be found in it.     Despite the fact that computers are very convenient, I still think handwriting is important today. Good handwriting makes a good impression on others; it also can represent your personality and ‎ attitude. People with terrible and messy handwriting are considered to be careless and irresponsible guys.Most people, when they receive a good handwritten letter, feel respected, and are often deeply touched by the emotion that is transmitted from the handwriting.     In my opinion, Chinese characters are very beautiful, and rich in culture. We need to keep them and develop them, no matter how modern society becomes.‎
