We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia. ‎ ‎ The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around. But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren’t going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design. ‎ ‎ In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre (充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster. ‎ ‎25. What might explain why transport wheels didn’t become popular for some time? ‎ A. Few knew how to use transport wheels. B. Humans carried farming tools just as well. ‎ C. Animals were a good means of transport. D. The existence of transport wheels was not known. ‎ ‎26. What do we know about road design from the passage? ‎ A. It was easier than wheel design. B. It improved after big changes in vehicle design. ‎ C. It was promoted by fast-moving vehicles. D. It provided conditions for wheel design to develop. ‎ ‎27. How is the last paragraph mainly developed? ‎ A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. ‎ C. By following time order. D. By making classifications. ‎ ‎28. What is the passage mainly about? ‎ A. The beginning of road design. B. The development of transport wheels. ‎ C. The history of public transport. D. The invention of fast-moving vehicles.‎ C ‎ The Chinese television reality show called “Wonderful Friends”, where entertainers hug whale sharks, kiss lions, feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees, has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped, saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.‎ ‎　　The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV, which has attracted more than 196,000 followers. In each show, popular stars are given zoo-keeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together.‎ ‎　　Animal welfare advocates(倡导者) say that is exactly what should be avoided. Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said, “It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals (圈养动物) and putting the animals’ welfare and health at risk.”‎ ‎　　“What they don’t realize is that wild animals need space,” said Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the Wildlife Conservation Society. “Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals’ point of view. I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,” Ms. Xie added, “but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment.”‎ ‎　　Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns. The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching (偷猎) in the documentary “The End of the Wild”. “But differently, he, as a human observer, kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching, and that is different from a show created to attract viewers.” Ms Xie said.‎ ‎　　Critics (评论家)also argue that the show violates (违反) Chinese wildlife protection laws.‎ ‎29. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?‎ ‎　A. Many people like the show because of its dangerous activities.‎ ‎　B. Xie Yan is against persuading the public to love and protect animals.‎ ‎　C. The reality show makes no difference to wildlife at all.‎ ‎　D. Some think the show is against wildlife protection laws of China.‎ ‎30. According to Ms Xie, “Wonderful Friends” is basically different from “The End of the Wild”, because ______.‎ ‎　A. they both invite different popular stars to show up 　　　　　　 ‎ ‎　B. they shoot(拍摄) different numbers and kinds of species 　　‎ C. their filming locations are different ‎　D. their purposes and ways to approach animals are different ‎ ‎31. What’s the author’s attitude towards “Wonderful Friends”?‎ A. Worried.　 B. Disappointed.　 C. Uninterested.　 D. Not mentioned.‎ ‎32. The passage would most likely be found ______.‎ A. on a notice board B. in a newspaper C. in a fashion magazine D. in an ad of wildlife protection D ‎ In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs(鼻整形手术).The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.‎ ‎ Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.‎ ‎ Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a Western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.w w w .x k b 1.c o m ‎ Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”‎ ‎ Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.‎ ‎ According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.‎ ‎ Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.‎ ‎33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The posters. B. A nose job. C. The Eiffel Tower. D. A plastic surgery procedure.‎ ‎34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ___________.‎ A. employers are potential customers ‎ B. attractive appearance seems to increase job chances ‎ C. appearance is as important as height and weight ‎ D. ads promote the plastic surgery ‎35. From what Mr. Li said we can learn that ____________.‎ A. most families can’t afford the surgeon ‎ B. the number of plastic surgeons is increasing C. patients can be well looked after at the clinic D. their customers are usually from wealthy families ‎ 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。‎ Taking good notes ‎   Have you ever stared at your heavy textbook, your piles of handouts and wished you knew just what questions your teacher planned to put on the next big test? Lacking a crystal ball, most students feel they have no choice but to look through all that material, drill it into their brains, and hope they can remember the right parts at test time.‎ ‎    36 If you learn the best ways to take good notes, you'11 make the job of studying for tests a lot easier from now on.‎ ‎   Keep up with your assigned textbook reading. Come to class with an interest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by thinking about and expecting the lecture and by pre-reading the text. 37  ‎ ‎   Date each day's notes and leave wide margins (页边空白) . Dated notes guide you to the right material to study for a test. At test time, the extra margins give you room to add more information if you need it. 38  ‎ ‎   Write down main ideas and underline or highlight them. Main ideas give you the “big picture of information, the reasons why events took place. Write out a main idea whenever you think you hear one. ___39  This kind of notetaking helps you connect related information, making it easier for you to remember it for a test later on.‎ ‎   Use abbreviations and symbols to make notetaking easier. Here are a few simple ones:‎ ‎   + plus, and ‎ ‎   = equal, same as, similar, like ‎ eg for example ‎ w/o without ‎ ‎    40  If you write down something that doesn't make sense, talk to someone right away to clear up the problem.‎ ‎   A. Write out a main idea.‎ ‎   B. See your teacher or a classmate about confusing notes.‎ ‎   C. That's the hard way to study.‎ ‎   D. This gives you an overall sense of what the text is about.‎ ‎   E. Then use single words or short phrases to list related details that tie into the big idea.‎ ‎   F. Also, the extra space will make it easier for you to find the material.‎ ‎  G. When you are prepared, your teacher's comments make more sense.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A young man went to the local expert on gems (珠宝) and said he wanted to become a gemologist.
