In 1969 he started working on Sesame Street, an American television series for children. Today, the series is shown on ‎ television in more than eighty countries and Spinney is still the man inside the eight-foot yellow chicken called Big Bird.‎ Spinney loves his work and knows that he has a responsibility for children watching the programme. He doesn’t want children to know that Big Bird is really a man, so he tries to notice every detail.‎ Caitlin Moran When Caitlin Moran was eleven, her parents asked her if she wanted to leave school and study at home. She refused at first, but changed her mind and left school two years later. Her experiences provided the story for her first book, The Chronicles of Narmo.‎ It is a wonderful story about a year in the life of a family who educate their children at home. She started writing it at thirteen and finished it soon after her sixteenth birthday. Now she enjoys writing and is writing a play and her second book.‎ Rick Allen Rick Allen, the well-known drummer of the Irish rock band Def Leppard, joined the band on his fifteenth birthday. A year later, in 1979, the band became famous. Then, in 1984, Rick had a very bad car accident and lost his left arm. A friend developed an electronic drum kit so that he could play the drums with an arm and two feet. He returned to the band with great happiness and he still performs with them now. The first time he played in a big concert everybody was so kind that he cried.‎ Now Rick is married and has a home life. Life with one arm is still a problem, but if he can 't chop vegetables with one hand he simply uses his feet.‎ ‎21. Which of the following can describe Caroll Spinney?‎ A. Creative and hopeful. ‎ B. Brave but proud. ‎ C. Responsible and careful. ‎ D. Hopeful but lazy.‎ ‎22. What was the inspiration for Caitlin Moran’s first book?‎ A. Her school life. ‎ B. Her birthday party.‎ C. Her parents’ career. ‎ D. Her home-study experience.‎ ‎23. What can we infer about the people mentioned in the text?‎ A. They enjoy their jobs. ‎ B. They are highly talented.‎ C. They are good at performing. ‎ D. They became famous late in life.‎ B Let us suppose it is now about A. D. 2063. Let’s make believe it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.‎ Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and the old.‎ What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.‎ Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.‎ Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.‎ People are now largely vegetarians. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.‎ Such would be our life in 2063.‎ ‎24. when was the passage written?‎ A. In about A. D. 2060. ‎ B. In about 1960.‎ C. In about 2013. ‎ D. In about 2004.‎ ‎25. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A. D. 2063?‎ A. Many tourists. ‎ B. Many other animals. ‎ C. Many plants. ‎ D. A sea.‎ ‎26. What will people eat then according to the passage?‎ A. Biscuits in pill form. ‎ B. Foods in pill form.‎ C. Foods in water form. ‎ D. Foods in gas form.‎ ‎27. The passage tells us that in 2063, _________ on the earth than now.‎ A. there are fewer population ‎ B. there are more pests C. there is less water ‎ D. the crops are getting better C Nowadays, the most effective way to get power comes from burning fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. They are less costly than other forms of energy. But burning fuels releases carbon dioxide, known as CO2 gas. Scientists agree that increasing amount of CO‎2 in Earth’s atmosphere is partly to blame for the rising temperature. It's clear the change in the atmosphere can have a big effect on the weather condition around the world.‎ However, keeping extra CO2 from entering the atmosphere is a difficult process. It’s not enough to advise people to burn the fuels in a clean way. As a result, scientists are looking for the best method for capturing the gas and storing it away from the atmosphere. Some of this research is taking place in Norway. The Technology Center in Mongstad (TCM) is the largest facility in the ‎ world for major testing of the CO2-capturing technology.‎ Tore Amundsen is its chairman. He says TCM has produced important information since it opened. The center is connected to a nearby electric power plant. It treats the waste gas from the plant using the chemical solvent (溶剂) which attracts the CO2 molecules. Then researchers take the solvent with the CO2 molecules and boil it. In this way, they can separate CO2 from the solvent and use the solvent again to capture more CO2. TCM can help capture 90 percent of the CO2 from the waste gas. With the current state of technology, it will increase the cost of electricity between perhaps 30% to 40% when the technology is applied to a power plant.‎ Experts say the best way to store the captured CO2 gas is to place it below the surface of the ground. Scientists can use the pumping technology to put it into areas left empty after the removal of oil or natural gas. But TCM does not pump the CO2 it captures. Instead, it releases the gas into the atmosphere. Tore Amundsen says only highly developed industrial nations can afford the pumping technology. So far, only Canada has a power plant that pumps CO2 gas. In total, there are just a few similar power plants in the world.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about the CO2 gas?‎ A. It is usually found in coal. ‎ B. It leads to world climate change.‎ C. It is a new kind of energy. ‎ D. It does good to the atmosphere.‎ ‎29. Scientists want to deal with CO2 gas by_________.‎ A. sending it into the atmosphere ‎ B. finding clean fuels to use C. collecting it with technology ‎ D. stopping people from burning fuels ‎30. Which of the following is TRUE about TCM?‎ A. It works well in treating the waste gas. ‎ B. It’s the only center to study the CO2 gas. ‎ C. It was set up by Tore Amundsen. ‎ D. It helps the power plant save a lot of money.‎ ‎31. According to experts, the captured CO2 gas________.‎ A. can be used with oil or natural gas ‎ B. should be put underground C. must be allowed to go into the air ‎ D. should stay in the chemical solvent D London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.‎ The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.‎ The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.‎ Before building work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.‎ Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in ‎ London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.‎ The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.‎ ‎32. London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _________.‎ A. its size B. its cost C. its shape D. its height ‎33. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to _________.‎ A. change London’s skyline ‎ B. inherit London’s tradition C. imitate the Egyptian style ‎ D. attract potential visitors ‎34. The critics who refer to social division think the Shard _________.‎ A. is intended for wealthy people ‎ B. is only preferred by the rich ‎ C. is far away from the poor area ‎ D. is popular only with Londoners ‎35. Which would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Shard: Cheers and Claps ‎ B. The Shard: Work of a Great Architect C. The Shard: New Symbol of London? ‎ D. The Shard: A Change for the Better?‎ 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。‎ During these days, the United States is full of cars. There are still some families without cars,‎ ‎ but some families have two or more. 36 They are also a necessary part of life.‎ Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their Jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. 37 ‎ Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. 38 One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbor’s as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays, and so on. 39 Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.‎ ‎___40___ So more car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars will lead to some problems such as accidents or environmental pollution. Something will have to be done about the use of cars. And the government should encourage the citizens to decrease the use of their cars as possible as they can.‎ A. Too many cars are being driven.‎ B. This is called forming a car pool.‎ C. Cars are used for more than pleasure.‎ D. You can choose your car according to the use of it.‎ E. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.‎ F. Still, it is not safe for young children to take the school bus.‎ G. When children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My family often had a get-together with friends in my childhood.

Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown---Jiangcheng.‎ The city stands on the bank of the Changjiang River. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours. In my opinion, Jiangcheng should develop its economy scientifically. I also think that the growth population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.‎ ‎ Yours，‎ ‎ Li Hua
