Most people，and many animals，like eating it. However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa，though，people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper-a little bird called a honey guide.‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey，but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房)．The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees' nest. So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention，it flies through the forest，waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest，the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey，and the wax，always falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share.‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax，but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ ‎5．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?‎ A．It's small in size.‎ B．It's hidden in trees.‎ C．It's covered with wax.‎ D．It's hard to recognize.‎ ‎6．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．A bee. ‎ B．A bird.‎ C．A honey seeker.‎ D．A beekeeper.‎ ‎7．The honey guide is special in the way________．‎ A．it gets its food B．it goes to church C．it sings in the forest D．it reaches into bees' nests ‎8．What can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Wild Bees B．Wax and Honey C．Beekeeping in Africa D．HoneyLover's Helper C Many New Zealand children are being studied for sleep disorders(紊乱) after overloading on technology before bedtime. Specialists say computers and televisions disturb sleep patterns and cause learning, concentration and growth problems.‎ Dr Alex Bartle, director of the Sleep Well Clinic, said that different sorts of technology were keeping children awake. Computer games and social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook were worse than TV for exciting young minds because they were more interactive(互动的). They should be switched off at least an hour before bedtime. “To fall asleep, you need to have a certain amount of calmness in the brain,” said Bartle. “being excited doesn’t help those brainwaves settle.”‎ Professor Philippe Gander, director of Massey University’s Sleep / Wake Research Centre, said poor sleep had been linked to learning, behavioral and growth problems.‎ Bartle said parents should make sure that children were well-rested and not kept awake by the technology surrounding them. “They need to encourage kids to get out during the day. Watching TV or playing on computers as soon as they get home isn’t good from a sleep point of view. Parents need to be strong enough to remove TVs or computers.”‎ In Britain, National Health Service data show almost 3,000 under-11s were referred to specialists for problems such as sleeplessness and sleep-walking(梦游) in 2007, up 26 percent from 2002.‎ While there are no figures in New Zealand, experts have no doubt that the number of children in need of help is on the increase. “We have the same sorts of technology, the same lifestyles,” said Bartle.‎ The Child Health Research Foundation in New Zealand has funded(资助) studies on sleep problems and is waiting for the results. ‎ ‎9. What does “technology” mainly refer to according to the passage?‎ A. pianos and guitars B. televisions and computers C. learning machines D.MP3s and MP4s ‎10. According to Dr Alex Bartle’s opinion, we can learn that ______.‎ A. Children should not watch TV or play online games in the evening B. Watching TV does more harm to children than playing computer games C. Some parents fail to set a limit on the time their children spend on technology D. About 3,000 New Zealand under-11s have sleep problems in 2007‎ ‎11. Experts are sure that the number of New Zealand children with sleep problems is increasing because _____.‎ A. New Zealand children play more online games than British children B. They have exact data from National Health Service C. New Zealand children are in the same situation as the British children D. They have exact data provided by hospitals ‎12. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Children like computer games. ‎ B. Technology disturbs children’s sleep.‎ C. The ways of dealing with sleep disorders. ‎ D. New Zealand parents should prevent children from watching TV.‎ D About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film studio(影棚) to take part in a crowdscene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time，we could see quite a number of interesting things.‎ We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene，setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon，bright lights were turned on and the big movie camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，and soon the trees were covered in “snow”．Two more fans were turned on，and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.‎ The next scene was a complete contrast(对比)．The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this，palm trees，sandy beaches，and blue，clear skies had been brought into the studio!‎ Since it was our turn next，we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”！‎ ‎13．Who is the author?‎ A．A cameraman.‎ B．A film director.‎ C．A crowdscene actor.‎ D．A workman for scene setting.‎ ‎14．What made the author feel cold?‎ A．The heavy snowfall. ‎ B．The manmade scene.‎ C．The low temperature.‎ D．The film being shown.‎ ‎15．What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph?‎ A．A new scene would be filmed.‎ B．More stars would act in the film.‎ C．The author would leave the studio.‎ D．The next scene would be prepared.‎ 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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项 为多余选项。‎ How to Deal with Being Taken for Granted From an early stage in your life, you are taught to respect others, and do kind things for them. However, in some cases, people begin to take advantage of your kind nature, expecting more from you. 16 If you feel as if there are people in your life who take you for granted, it’s time to protect yourself.‎ ‎1. Know that you have the right to feel respected. Social and cultural pressures may encourage you to believe that it’s rude to say “no” to others when they ask you for things. You may also have been taught to feel that your work is less valuable than others’ and does not deserve acknowledgement. 17 Everyone has the right to be respected and appreciated, and it isn’t wrong to want to be treated that way.‎ ‎2. Identify what has changed in the relationship. If you feel taken for granted, it may be because you once felt valued by the person who is now taking you for granted. It might also be because the knowledge that you should feel appreciated but do not. 18 It can also help you find a solution for the relationship.‎ ‎3. 19 You know that you don’t want to feel taken for granted. But what do you want? It will be hard to see any change in your situation if you feel vague（模糊的）dissatisfaction but have no clear ideas on what would improve it. 20 Once you know the change about the relationship clearly, you’ll be able to take better action to get you there.‎ A. Think about what you want.‎ B. Practice what you want to say. ‎ C. These things can lead to you feeling taken for granted.‎ D. Try making a list of things that you would like to see the change about the relationship.‎ E. If you feel taken for granted by others, you need to communicate that to the other person.‎ F. Such people may repeatedly ask you for favors without returning any favors or showing you any respect.‎ G. Whatever the cause is, identifying what has changed your interactions with the other person can help you feel better.‎ 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；每小题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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ She has a personality of bravery and liveliness, which wins hearts within minutes — and 9-year-old Gracie Miller is the symbol of grace after a tragic（悲剧的） pit bull （狗）attack. ‎ ‎“I may have lost my face, but I haven't lost my 21 ," she said, calming her mom down in the 22 room, 15 minutes after the accident, two days before Thanksgiving.‎ That day, Gracie was visiting her grandfather, Ray Kaighn.

Brown fat burns energy， 42 helps us lose weight. White fat stores extra energy, which results 43 weight gain. The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant， 44 (comfort) temperatures, our body's need for brown fat has decreased. They found that outdoor workers in northern Finland who 45 (expose) to cold temperature have 46 significant amount of brown fat when 47 (compare) to sameaged indoor workers. 48 group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat. This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed highfat diets. ‎ The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity. People who are obese have 49 (low) levels of brown fat than thinner people. Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said，“This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesityrelated diseases.” She added，“If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could 50 (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.”‎ 第三部分写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ ‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。‎ 文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除 或修改。‎ ‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ ‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。‎ ‎ 修改：在错的词下面一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ ‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词：‎ ‎ 2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ One day last month, a group of Chinese student arrived in Brisbane.

In their opinion, Not many of us have the opportunity to go abroad. So it’s not necessary to learn English if we don’t want to work for a foreign company in the future. Besides, it takes us too much time to learn English, or we will learn other subjects better and have more time to relax and build up our bodies.‎ Others don’t think so. They explained their opinions as below. Firstly, English is a widely used language. For example, most international meetings are held in English. To play a more important part on the world stage, we must master English. Secondly, China’s development is more closely related to the rest of the world ‎ especially since our joining the WTO. Only if we learn English well, can we get to know what is going on in the world in time. ‎ Personally speaking, I think it necessary and important to learn English. Also remember “Nothing is so difficult if you put your heart into it!”‎
