But they can be good for walking!‎ Where I live, in Zimbabwe, and in many other countries, old tires are not thrown away. Instead, shoemakers cut them up and make them into sandals(凉鞋).‎ One of these shoemakers if Casper Mamutse. He runs a small sandal-making business. When Casper first saw a man named Isaac said he had made them himself. Casper decided to buy a pair to amuse his friends. But his friends didn’t laugh. They wanted their own. Therefore, Casper asked Isaac to teach him how to make tire sandals.‎ For more than six months, Casper learned how to cut and shape soles(鞋底) from tires. To make the right size, Casper draws a shoe sole on the tire and cuts out a sole. Casper says this is the hardest part of making tire sandals. “Cutting a tire with a knife requires as much brains as force,” he says. After the sole is cut, Casper cuts off the soft inside part of the tire and cuts it into long pieces. He uses the long pieces to make ties for the tire sandals.‎ Some tire sandals have flat heels(鞋跟) for city streets. Others have a strong “tractor wheel” design for the countryside. The Zimbabwe countryside is full of stones. Unless you have thick soles, stones can harm you feet.‎ ‎“Almost half of my schoolmates don’t have anything to put on their feet,” says Fadzai, a ‎ 10-year-old boy whose dad bought him a pair of tire sandals.‎ But now they can get tire sandals, which are strong and cheap. Fadzai thinks that what his friends need now are not cars to take them to school, but shoes. In his village, there are only a few roads for cars and buses anyway.‎ ‎“Going to school on foot instead of in a car does not worry me very much,” he says. “After all, we are still moving on tires.”‎ ‎4. Why did Casper buy a pair of tire sandals?‎ A.To make fun of Isaac. B.To send them to his friend.‎ C.To make his friends laugh. D.To learn how to make them.‎ ‎5. What is the most difficult part of making tire sandals?‎ A.Cutting soles from tires. B.Finding the suitable tires.‎ C. Cutting tires into long pieces. D.Putting soles and ties together.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?‎ A.Tire sandals come in different designs. ‎ B.People in Zimbabwe need more soft shoes.‎ C.Tire sandals with flat heels are for the countryside. ‎ D.Sandals made from tractor wheels are more popular.‎ ‎7. What is Fadzai’s attitude towards tire sandals?‎ ‎ A.He thinks they are too hard to wear. B.He hopes to buy them at once.‎ ‎ C.He shows no interest in them. D.He thinks highly of them.‎ C What does it take to graduate from a university? Many may say all you have to do is take classes and pass the exam. Well, it requires more than it if you’re a student at Tsinghua University.‎ Starting this September, freshmen at the university will have to take swimming courses. If they fail a swimming test at the beginning of their university course, they won’t receive their degree until they can pass the test successfully. Exceptions will be allowed for students with certain physical or mental conditions, if proved by doctor.‎ Liu Bo, head of the Division of Sports, explained why the university is linking swimming ability with degrees. “As a requisite(必要的) survival skill, swimming is beneficial for students in the long run,” he said. Viewing the ability to swim as a must for students is not something new to ‎ this university---it was also a requirement in the early 20th century. Besides Tsinghua University, Peking University and Xiamen University have also listed swimming as a compulsory(必修课) course for students.‎ However, the announcement has caused a heated debate. Some welcomed the new rule, saying it’s a necessary skill that can save lives. “Swimming is a basic skill. It’s a way to stay healthy and is lifesaving in emergency situations.” Yuan Jiaxiang, a junior student said.‎ But some said it has nothing to do with getting a degree. “It’s not reasonable to require people to be able to swim for them to graduate,” said Zheng Xiaoyu, a high school student. “For a lot of people who grew up in inland cities, learning how to swim as an adult will be difficult.” In fact, Chinese universities are not the only education organizations that encourage their students to swim. A few colleges in the United States---including Cornell, Columbia and MIT---offer swim classes to students.‎ ‎8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?‎ A.To tell us that passing the exam is not the most important. ‎ B.To lead to the main topic of the passage.‎ C.To remind us to do more than just taking classes. ‎ D.To inspire us to get more skills of making a living.‎ ‎9. From the passage, we know if you can’t swim, you may graduate from .‎ A.Peking University B.Xiamen University C. Shandong University D.Columbia University ‎10. Why does Tsinghua University require the students to pass swimming test to get degrees?‎ A.Because swimming can make the students stronger. ‎ B.Because swimming is necessary to live a happy life.‎ C.Because swimming is a requisite survival skill and it does good to them. ‎ D.Because swimming can help them smarter.‎ ‎11. According to the passage, we can know Tsinghua University thinks .‎ ‎ A.all students in the university must pass swimming test successfully ‎ B.if students live in inland cities, it’s not necessary to learn swimming ‎ C.the disagreements are so few that they can be ignored ‎ D.swimming is not only a survival skill but also beneficial for students.‎ D ‎ Ever since it was created 30 years ago, The Simpsons, the longest running prime-time(黄金时段) TV show in the country, has become part of US life.‎ ‎ It was the show that changed the very concept of cartoons in Western society. Before it appeared, cartoons were considered a way to learn and have fun, not serious adult entertainment. The Simpsons changed this. The genius of the show is that it has something to offer both adults and children.‎ It’s a hugely entertaining program that’s also full of satire(讽刺的) and clever humor. The show’s creators make fun of the US government, social customs, and of course, the idea of family life. But unlike most classic US prime-time TV characters the Simpsons are a dys-functional(功能失调的) family.‎ Bart, the boy, is always in trouble---both at home and at school. That may be in part because of his paternal example. Homer Simpson, perhaps the most iconic(标志性的) character, is a beer-swilling, overweight slob who is normally found in front of the TV. And Marge, Homer’s wife and the mother of the family, spends most of her time cooking, cleaning or trying to fix the messes that bart and homer make.‎ The smartest member of the family is daughter Lisa, who does well in school but is no goody-goody---Lisa never misses an opportunity to challenge authority. The youngest member of the family is baby Maggie, who will likely be as much of a handful as her brother and sister when she grows up.‎ But although the Simpsons are a problem family, viewers are always on their side. One of the reasons why the show has remained so popular all these years is that the characters are so lovely. Millions of us identify with them. They are a working class family struggling to make ends meet.‎ ‎ They aren’t perfect, but then, who is? And after 30 years, this is still what strikes a chord with millions of viewers worldwide.‎ ‎12. Compared with other cartoons, what makes The Simpsons so special?‎ A. It has been the longest running prime-time TV show since it was created. ‎ B. It has been popular with all the people, whether adults or children.‎ C. It describes a functional family, unlike other cartoons. ‎ D. It contains characters that each has unique habits.‎ ‎13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in The Simpsons?.‎ A. Social customs. B. The family life. ‎ C. Their government. D. International relationship.‎ ‎14. Why has The Simpsons remained so popular after 30 years?‎ A. The parents work hard and the children are lovely. ‎ B. It has been running at the prime-time, when most people are free.‎ C. It tells people how to bring up the children healthily. ‎ D. The characters are lovely and they live in the same way as ordinary people.‎ ‎15. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Most classic US prime-time TV characters live in normal families. ‎ B. There are two sons and one daughter in the family.‎ C. The father has set an example to the son who is good at school. ‎ D. The daughter is a good student and always follows the teacher’s orders.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从所给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。‎ A city in the jungle ‎ In the summer of 1848, in Guatemala, a man called Ambrosio Tut went into the jungle(丛林), as he did almost every day. Tut was a gum(树胶) collector, looking for gum in the jungle. 16. One day, he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eye. He looked out across the trees and saw the tops of some old buildings.‎ ‎ 17. He ran to tell the local governor excitedly, and together they walked into the jungle. There they found Tikal, the city that the Mayans had built, many hundreds of years before. The two men saw pyramids(金字塔), squares and houses.‎ ‎ For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city. 18. Between 200 and 900AD, the city of Tikal had been the centre of Mayan civilization in the area, but then the Mayans left it---nobody knows why! After 1000AD, the jungle began to cover it. 19. ‎ Seven years before Tut found Tikal, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle---but they hadn’t mentioned Tikal. Even earlier than this, local Indians had told people about a great city hidden in the trees, but no one had listened to them. ‎ ‎20. Now the lost city had been found again, and people went there immediately to see it.‎ A. But no one had seen it for centuries.‎ B. To do this, he had to climb the tree.‎ C. And then people forgot that it was there.‎ D. So they lost the chance to find the treasure.‎ E. Tut found many other treasures after that.‎ F. More and more scientists began to study the Mayan city.‎ G. Tut didn’t really know what he had seen but he knew it was something special.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将此选项涂黑。‎ Honest Thanks I sat down at my desk and started writing.

From the chart it can be apparently seen that as many as 53% of the students would devote their spare time to sports, for example ball games, while 36% of them say they find pleasure in surfing the Internet. Meanwhile, 8% of the students like to do some reading, with 3% playing musical instruments.‎ From the chart we can safely draw the conclusion that most students pay attention to their health, which can obviously guarantee the students enough energy for their studies. But it has also ‎ come to our notice that many students have spent a lot of time on the Internet, which I fear may have a negative effect on their studies. However, it is a good idea for students to play some musical instruments when they're free, thus making them relaxed and refreshed for their studies.‎ In a word, we should distribute our spare time properly.‎
