The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background and what remains is the author’ s world.‎ Today, we, at Amazon, are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90, 000 books, magazines and newspapers.‎ We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design goal was for Mindle to disappear in your hands―to get out of the way－so you can enjoy your reading, also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book and have it in less than ‎60 seconds. No computer is needed－you do your reading directly from the device.‎ We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike phones there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.‎ Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10. 3 ounces－less than a paperback. but can carry two hundred books.‎ Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!‎ Jeff Bezos Founder CEO ‎21. This passage most probably is a(n) .‎ A. lab report B. news story C. advertisement D. letter of thanks ‎22. From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device which .‎ C. disappears while you read B. is operated by a computer A. has neither wires nor weight D. can find a hook within one minute ‎23. With the device, the reader is able to .‎ A. improve reading skills B. gain access to free software C. enjoy reading when driving a car D. get rid of heavy books made of paper B Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina, students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.‎ ‎“Read and Ride”is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.‎ It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the “Read and Ride ” program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.‎ Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.‎ However, the program’s academic benefits are the most important. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.‎ Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like “Read and Ride”, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates（刺激） brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.‎ ‎24. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?‎ A. Kids sit at desks for long while reading. B. Kids exercise balls and read at the gym. C. Kids ride bikes as they read.‎ D. Kids do outdoor activities during lessons.‎ ‎25. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?‎ A. They exercise with high pressure.‎ B. They feel reading fun and learn better. C. They improve their sense of competition.‎ D. They are instructed to read at the same pace.‎ ‎26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. The program may be more and more popular.‎ B. Schools doubt whether the program is available.‎ C. Physical activities prevent kids from learning more. D. The school achievement depends wholly on the program.‎ ‎27. What would be the best title of the passage?‎ A. “Read and Ride” Program B. Traditional Teaching Should Be Banned C. How to Help Kids Focus on Their Studies D. Kids Need to Release Energy C The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shock my head stubbornly --- and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.‎ ‎“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”‎ I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?‎ In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.‎ When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”‎ ‎“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.‎ ‎“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork.” the assistant said.‎ ‎“The artwork?” I was puzzled.‎ The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.‎ What a relief!‎ ‎28. Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?‎ A. Cheerful. B. Nervous. C. Satisfied. D. Upset.‎ ‎29. Will made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?‎ A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice. B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.‎ C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office. D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.‎ ‎30. Why did the author suddenly smile?‎ A. Because the dentist came at last.‎ B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling. C. Because she could relax in the chair.‎ D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.‎ ‎31. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?‎ A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. Have a good word for one’s friend. C. Put oneself in others’ shoes. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ D Three years ago Jenny Salgado, a Dominican shop assistant, moved to Highland town, a neighborhood of Baltimore. When she arrived the shop she works in was one ‎ of only a few Spanish businesses. Now there are many more. “It’s good now if you speak Spanish,” she smiles.‎ Baltimore has been losing people for 60 years. To address this, its former mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, wanted to make it the most immigrant-friendly city in the world. Its libraries provide Spanish-language exercise classes. To help those with no papers, the city is introducing micro-loans (小额贷款）which require no credit checks. City police would no longer routinely check the immigration status of citizens or enforce any federal immigration law unless required to. The then governor, Martin O'Malley made it possible for illegal immigrants to get driving licenses. Such welcoming policies are spreading. Such cities as Cleveland, Dayton and Philadelphia all eagerly try to please immigrants. Rick Snyder, Governor of Michigan, has asked the federal government to offer 50,000 visas to people who agree to live in Detroit. His administration has made it easier for skilled migrants to get professional licenses.‎ When a city ’ s population falls, both tax receipts and services fall. Half-deserted neighborhoods breed (滋生）crime, driving yet more people to leave.‎ No city has escaped this without attracting new residents, says Steve Tobocman of Global Detroit. Several studies suggest that when immigrants arrive, crime goes down, schools improve and shops open up. In Detroit, immigrants living near the tiny separate city of Hamtramck have formed local watches to guard against thieves. Their neighborhoods are not just safer; they are also among the only places where it is as easy to buy fresh vegetables as drugs and alcohol.‎ But attracting new immigrants to the cities which most need them is hard, argues Audrey Singer of the Brookings Institution. They care about the same things as everyone else: safe streets, good schools and jobs. Cities which have lost population for decades struggle with all of these.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “address” mean?‎ A. deal with B. remark on C. get through D. refer to ‎33. Which can best describe the situation mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A. A constant matter B. A dilemma C. A death circle D. A classic case ‎34. What is the topic of the last but one paragraph?‎ A. Problems caused by immigrants. B. The positive role immigrants play.‎ C. The living conditions of immigrants. D. Difficulties immigrants face in Detroit.‎ ‎35. Which statement may Audrey Singer agree with?‎ A. There is no need to encourage such immigrant-friendly policies. B. Immigrants have higher expectations of a city than its locals.‎ C. Attracting immigrants helps prevent a city from losing population. D. Attracting immigrants to cities losing people is demanding.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项）‎ A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. _36_.‎ Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways.‎ ‎_37_ After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants(污染物). _38_. That means harmful material may get into our food supply.‎ ‎_39_. Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.‎ The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. _40_. And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment. But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.‎ A. Then, fish may eat the plastics.‎ B. But people can make a big difference.‎ C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.‎ D. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.‎ E. It asks for them to better measure and control plastic use.‎ F. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.‎ G. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situatio 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节:完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 l.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，并标在答题卷的相应位置。‎ Last Sunday.

As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste disposal problem becomes 61 ‎ ‎(increase) difficult. During the 18th century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together 62 ‎ ‎(select) a faraway spot as a dump site (垃圾场). People 63 ‎ ‎(transport) household rubbish,‎ rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Regularly some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The 64 (pleasant) sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills (制造厂), and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted 65 ‎ ‎(remain) into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.‎ Several facts make these choices 66 ‎ ‎‎ ‎(accept) to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, 67 are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. The land is 68 too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. A long distance dump has been a common practice, 69 once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is nonexistent. 70 ‎ ‎(aware) of pollution dangers has resulted in stricter rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste.
