For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”‎ ‎“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.‎ After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.‎ ‎“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.‎ ‎56．According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means .‎ ‎ A．a family honor B．a family secret C．a family story D．a family treasure ‎57．What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?‎ A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.

After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed "the Garden City", almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns． Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs．‎ ‎　　The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities． At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression（萧条） and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life． Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city． Howard's idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price．‎ ‎　　Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries．They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions． As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away． Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city．‎ ‎66．How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?‎ ‎ A．Through his observation of the country life．B．Through the combination of different ideas．‎ ‎ C．By taking other people's advice．D．By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago．‎ ‎67．The underlined phrase "drawing on "in Paragraph 1 probably means______．‎ ‎ A．making use of B．making comments on ‎ C．giving an explanation of D．giving a description of ‎68．According to Howard, garden cities should be built______．‎ ‎ A．as far as possible from existing cities ‎ B．in the countryside where the land was cheap ‎ C．in the countryside where agriculture was developed ‎ D．near cities where employment opportunities already existed ‎69．What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?‎ A．Their number would continue to rise B．Each one would continue to become larger C．People would live and work in the same placeD．Each one would contain a certain type of business ‎70．What could be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A．City and Countryside B．The Invention of the Garden City ‎ C．A New City in Chicago D．A Famous Garden City in England D ‎　　Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked．‎ ‎　　Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beings． What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival． Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．‎ ‎　　Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for． Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge, we can lessen its effects．‎ ‎　　Exploration also allows minerals and other potential （潜在的）resources to be found．Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later． Resources may be more than physical possessions． Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration．The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives． We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems．Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products （副产品）of technological developments in the space industry!‎ ‎　　While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us． While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers． The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive． Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist．‎ ‎　　While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets． It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future．‎ ‎71．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?‎ ‎ A．To express his doubts． B．To compare different ideas．‎ ‎ C．To introduce points for discussion．D．To describe the conditions on Earth．‎ ‎72．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?‎ ‎ A．Humans are nature-born to do so．B．Humans have the tendency to fight．‎ ‎ C．Humans may find new sources of food．D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place．‎ ‎73．The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______．‎ ‎ A．survival chances B．potential resources ‎ C．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions ‎74．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?‎ ‎ A．Our genetic makeup． B．Resources on the earth．‎ ‎ C．The adaptive ability of humans． D．By-products in space exploration．‎ ‎75．Which of the statements can best sum un the passage?‎ ‎ A．Space exploration has created many wonders．‎ ‎ B．Space exploration provided the best value for money．‎ ‎ C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.‎ ‎ D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.‎ 第二卷（非选择题 满分35分）‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。‎ ‎[1]It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week, and the current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come． This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this．‎ ‎[2]Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago．Moreover, sport has become an important form of entertainment, appealing to both men and women．‎ ‎[3]When are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies． Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries． Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awareness-raising． What's more, there is a health benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport．‎ ‎[4]However,____________________ if so much sport is on television． Considering football again, many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the large ones．There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs． Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room． And ticket prices have risen greatly．‎ ‎[5]To sum up, while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever．‎ ‎76．What is the main idea of the text? （no more than 8 words）‎ ‎　　___________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎77．Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2．（ no more than 3 words）‎ There has been a great increase in TV channels in the past few years with the help of_____________‎ ‎78．Point out the advantage of televised sport which does not concern money in Paragraph3． （no more than 3 words）‎ ‎　　_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎79．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words． （no more than 6 words）‎ ‎　　_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎80．What does the word "it" （Line2, Paragraph5） probably refer to? （no more than 3 words）‎ ‎　　_______________________________________________________________________________‎ 第二节 写作（满分25分）‎ ‎　　假设你是星光中学的李华，将参加主题为"Let's Ride Bicycles"的英语演讲比赛。请撰写一份演讲稿，主要内容包括：‎ ‎　　1．目前汽车带来的空气污染和交通堵塞等问题；‎ ‎　　2．骑自行车的益处，如节能环保、有利健康等。‎ ‎　　参考词汇：低碳生活（low-carbon life）；节能（energy saving）‎ 注意：‎ ‎1．词数：120词左右；‎ ‎　　2．演讲稿开头和结尾已给出，请将其抄写在答题卡上且该部分不计入总词数。‎ ‎　　Good morning, everyone,‎ I am Li Hua form Xingguang Middle School． The topic of my speech is "Let's Ride Bicycles"．‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________‎ Thank you!‎ 参考答案 第一卷（选择题，共115分）‎ 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）‎ ‎1—5 CABBA 6—10 CBACB 11—15 CAABC 16—20 CABAC 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎21—25 ABBAB 26—30 CADAB 31—35 DCDCC ‎ 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36—40 CCBDA 41—45 BDBBC 46—50 BDCAA 51—55 BACDA ‎ 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ ‎56—60 BABCC 61—65 BCDBD 66—70 DABAB 71—75 CACCD 第二卷（非选择题，共35分）‎ 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎76．Advantages and disadvantages of televised sport 77．digital broadcasting ‎78．A health benefit 79．There are / will be (some) disadvantages 80．Televised sport 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）‎ One Possible Version Good morning, everyone,‎ I am Li Hua form Xingguang Middle School． The topic of my speech is "Let's Ride Bicycles"．‎ As is known to all, with the improvement of people’s living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.‎ How can we solve the problems then? As far as I’m convened, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don’t need any petrol and they are energy – saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won’t give off waste gas. What’s more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.‎ Therefore, let’s take the responsibility to build up a low carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!‎ Thank you!‎
