No.The total quantity of fresh water on the earth surpasses (超过) all possible human needs.But tell that to the government of Jordan, which has drawn its underground water almost dry since Israel diverted much of its largest water source, the River Jordan.‎ There is no world water crisis, but there are crises of under investment, of political conflict over rivers that cross national boundaries, and of rather foolish water management.‎ The Middle East is the likeliest place for future water wars.A long-term settlement between Israel and its neighbors will depend at least as much on fair allocation (分配) of water as that of land.Iraq and Syria watch and wait as Turkey builds dams in the headwaters of the Euphrates.Elsewhere, India angers Bangladesh by diverting to its fields the thin dry-season flow of the Ganges.‎ Meanwhile, the best places for dams are mostly used up.Engineering and environmental costs of developing new water sources will be much higher than in the past.‎ However, the solution to the world’s water crisis lies in supply than in demand.The World Bank has spent half a century building dams, but the water problem in most countries results mainly from inefficient use of water.‎ Israeli scientists have understood this long since.They have revolutionized their countries use of water, cutting out much of the waste in watering crops, which in many countries accounts for 90% of water use.‎ ‎24.The world’s total fresh water supply 　　 　. ‎ A.is more than enough for human needs B.doesn’t meet human needs C.is likely to run out in the next century D.can’t be renewed once it is used up ‎25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A.There is a world water crisis.‎ B.There is great improvement in the fresh water supply.‎ C.There is local fresh water shortage.‎ D.There is no way to solve the present water problems.‎ ‎26.According to the author, peace between Israel and its neighbors will not come unless　　　. ‎ A.the water problem is solved ‎ B.the UN takes part in the talks C.the USA acts as the peace maker ‎ D.all Arab countries join in the peace talks ‎27.The chief solution to the water crisis is　　 　. ‎ A.developing new fresh water sources ‎ B.building more dams C.co-operation among nations ‎ D.efficient use of water C As health care costs continue to rise, a growing number of companies are working out programs designed to keep their employees healthy.‎ Thomas Chapple is the senior vice president. “It’s really important to us because medical costs are going up like crazy, he says. This company spends more than 200 million a year on medical costs for its employees around the country. The best thing we have seen as a way to control the medical cost is individual fitness.”‎ We have a fitness center, “Shawn Flaherty, director of public relations for Freddie Mac.,” says, “We have a health benefits plan that encourages people to work out three times a week, get cholesterol (胆固醇) checks, as well as ‘not to smoke.’ If they do that, it will cost them less for the health benefits.”‎ Rachelle Clark works for Freddie Mac. “I feel great. You know the benefit is rewarding. I like to look good and feel healthy. I am just fortunate that I work for the company that provides some type of facility for the employees.”‎ While on-site fitness centers are popular, some companies pay membership fees at local gyms for employees. The companies also offer classes such as boxing, yoga and dancing. Employees see those health programs as a valuable benefit.‎ Tom Brook exercises five days a week. As a newspaper reporter he has a tight schedule, although Tom says it’s not that difficult for him to make time for a workout. “It is great. It is right here where we work,” says Tom, “So everybody gets a chance to use it whenever they want to. I have lost weight and never been in better shape.”‎ The programs may not be a magic cure for rising health costs, but they seem to have a positive impact on both employers and employees.‎ ‎28．What’s the best way to cut the medical cost according to Shawn Flaherty?‎ A．To reduce the number of employees around the country.‎ B．To set up fitness centers of their own.‎ C．To encourage the employees to work out to keep fit.‎ D．To pay membership fees at local gyms for the employees.‎ ‎29．Why does the writer cite (引用) what Rachelle Clark and Tom Brook say?‎ A．To show the employees welcome the health programs.‎ B．To show how effective physical exercise is.‎ C．To explain how to use the fitness centers.‎ D．To persuade more employers to set up health centers.‎ ‎30．Which of the following best expresses the meaning of the underlined part?‎ A．The programs may cure all kinds of patients like magic.‎ B．The programs may keep the health costs rising.‎ C．The programs may not cost a large amount of money.‎ D．The programs may not solve the health costs problem completely.‎ ‎31．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．How difficult it is to reduce health care costs B．What causes the health care costs to rise year by year.‎ C．Why and how companies encourage their employees to keep fit.‎ D．How people keep healthy by doing exercise in their working places.‎ D At the end of August this year I moved from London, UK, to a small town in Quebec, Canada, called Matane to work as an English language assistant. Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.‎ I don’t see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work. I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom, one of the students turned back and said, “Thank you for your patience.” That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years, ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover, it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someone’s confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.‎ Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient. They repeat things several times and ‎ they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order. It’s a learning process but with the patience of others, the process is slightly less nervous. At the end of the day, making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.‎ When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people’s conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent. The key is to be patient with yourself.‎ ‎32．According to Paragraph 2, what does the writer think is important as a teacher?‎ A．Understanding. B．Help ‎ C．Confidence. D．Patience.‎ ‎33．In a small town called Matane, which language do the local people speak?‎ A．French. B．Spanish.‎ C．English. D．Italian.‎ ‎34．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．Practice makes perfect for learning a foreign language.‎ B．Doctors in Quebec are good at treating headaches.‎ C．The writer went to Matane to learn the importance of patience.‎ D．The writer first noticed the importance of patience on hearing a student’s appreciation.‎ ‎35．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Learn a Foreign Language with Patience ‎ B．Attractions of Quebec C．My Work Experience in Quebec D．Patience Brings a Surprise 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。‎ Overcome Culture Shock in the Classroom Culture shock occurs in a classroom when students are exposed to a new situation.36．. However, it can also happen to students moving from a small town to a large city, to home－schooled students starting formal school education or to students progressing from one level of education to another. There are several strategies that teachers can use to help students overcome culture shock.‎ Make group rules Brainstorm(集体讨论) group rules with the class as a whole to create a safe space and good learning environment.37．. Rules could include respecting differences, listening when someone is speaking and not teasing, for example.‎ Provide a partner Find a partner for the new student in the adjustment period.38．. A good partner is someone who is friendly, outgoing and patient. The partner should show the new student around the school, spend time with him or her after class and eat lunch with him or her.‎ Know the source of a problem Identify problems early and work with the student and his or her family to deal with them. 39．. It can also be caused by overseas or home school environment. Students and parents need to be aware of all the rules and customs that apply.‎ ‎40．‎ Create lessons that include information about different countries and traditions. These could include story reading, geography, cultural studies and history. Encourage the student to share some information about himself or herself.‎ A．Respect other cultures B．Create special lessons C．They have lost their own language and culture D．A partner can help him or her quickly adapt to the new environment ‎ E. Explain the rules and require everyone to follow them F. Typically, this happens when a new immigrant(移民) arrives in a classroom for the first time G. Classroom culture shock is often caused by the very different environment of a classroom ‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ An old man had been working for many years to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills.Quietly and 　36　, the old man guarded the hills, 　37　 the leaves and branches,and cleaned up the dirt that would have 　38　 and polluted the fresh flow of water.Swans and tourists came to the town 　39　 tour. ‎ Years passed.One evening the town　40　met.As they reviewed the budget, one man’s　41　 caught sight of the salary 　42　being paid to the seldom seen keeper.He asked,“Who is the old man?

A modern young couple were eating fruit in public and had thrown a plenty of waste on the ground. When an old cleaner comes to clean up, the man was very angry. He pointed at the cleaner, said in a loud voice," How impolite! They haven't finished eating!" " How could people behave such badly?" I thought. Obvious, in their eyes, they could do all they liked and ignore other's feelings. In my opinion, we should pay attention our behavior, obey public rules and respect other's works. We should know that really civilized people are those who have good manners but a beautiful mind all the time.‎ 第二节 作文 假如你是校学生会主席，为了应对全球变暖、保护地球家园， 你将代表学校向全体学生发出"低碳减排、绿色生活"的倡议．请你根据以下要点写一封英文倡议书．‎ ‎1． 发出倡议的目的．‎ ‎2．"低碳减排、绿色生活"的几点建议．‎ ‎3． 呼吁大家采取行动．‎ 注意：1． 词数100词左右；‎ ‎2． 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；‎ ‎3． 开头语已给出，不计入总词数．‎ Dear friends，‎ Do you know the earth is becoming warmer and warmer？‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ The Students' Union
