（6分）The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any 21．
guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator (发电机). The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity — roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meal tickets worth $ 36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.
The plan, a world-first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guests staying at the hotel will be able to take part. Frederikke Toemmergaard，hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, bu t generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our programme.”
Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36 % of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen. dk. US environmental website treehugger. com recently voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the bicycle would work well as a symbol of the hotel’s green profile (形象).”
If successful，the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in a statement.
1、What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?
A．To promote the hotel’s green concept.
B．To make the city known to the world.
C．To attract people to the hotel restaurant.
D．To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.
2、How can a participant get a free meal?
A．By becoming a professional cyclist.
B．By cycling to produce some electricity.
C．By linking a smart phone to a bicycle.
D．By monitoring his or her carbon footprint.
3、Who are most likely to enter for the programme?
A．The poor local people.
B．The environment activists.
C．Health-conscious hotel guests.
D．Visitors fond of Copenhagen food.
4、According to Paragraph 3, Copenhagen has o ne of the world’s .
A．best chain hotels

22．（8分）Humans have uniquely expressive faces. We laugh, we cry, we turn red with feeling. Now, scientists report that blue-and-yellow macaws(金刚鹦鹉) may join us in this club of emotions – at least,when it comes to blushing.
Parrots are known for being clever and chatty. They ' re even skilled enough to make their own tools and occasionally nose their way into human machines like cars. Their curiosity and courage are what make them excellent pets. So it ' s no surprise that they have their own range of communication tools. On the whole, birds are no strangers to blushing. Many different kinds of birds have been known to exhibit this hehavior. Parrot owners often notice it in their pets. The motivations behind it are still a mystery to scientists , though.
To zero in on why macaw faces blush,some scientists led by Aline Bertin of the University of Tours studied five captive blue-and-yellow macaws as they interacted with each other and their human caretakers. They were amazed to see that human attention seemed to make the macaws blush. The blushing died down when the caretakers ignored the parrots.
Facial expressions can be signs of a human ' s emotional state. Likewise, bird blushing could convey well-being. It' s not quite as obvious as smiling. Still, it ' s
fairly impressive. After all, these macaws don' t have the same facial muscles that we do. The birds are much smarter and kinder than they look. They are believed to be as intelligent as monkeys.
Bertin and the other scientists believe their work opens the door to further research. One limitation of the study is that no macaws in natural environment have been observed. That makes it hard to draw conclusions about the birds as a species. They are also not quite sure what the blushing means. There is still more to learn about these possible expressions of emotion.
1、Which of the following best explains" captive" in paragraph 3 ?
A．Unique. B．Talkative.
C．Curious. D．Caged.
2、Birds might blush_____________.
A．when people ignore them . B．to show they are happy.
C．to show they are hungry . D．when something upsets them.
3、What is TRUE about scientists ' reaction to macaws blushing?
A．They are puzzled by how birds can communicate with one another.
B．They are motivated to continue studying how macaws express emotion.
C．They are curious about why other birds are unable to convey emotion.
D．They are interested to study monkeys to see if they blush as strongly.
4、What is the main idea of the text?
A．Parrots make excellent pets.
B．Parrots are skilled to make tools.
C．The macaws can communicate with each other.
D．The macaws can go red in the face with feeling.
23．（8分）Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity (湿度).
In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia, which is a life-threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C．However, differences in persons and even the
time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C．Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C．This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C．
In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia.
Life-threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C．Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.
1、What keeps our body temperature stable?
A．Culture and technologies. B．The stable earth temperature. C．Our strong determination. D．Some kind of in-body system.
2、What is a Swedish woman mentioned for in the text?
A．Proving the strength of life.
B．Arguing against some conclusion.
C．Showing the limit on humans’ body temperature.
D．Introducing an exceptional case about our body temperature.
3、Which of the following may cause hyperthermia?
A．Extreme climates. B．Very cold climates. C．Controllable infections. D．Temperatures below 29.4°C．
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Humans’ Temperature Regulating System B．Changes of Body Temperatures C．Humans’ Temperature D．A Ice Trap Survivor
24．（8分）At the age of twenty-two,I was employed by one of the largest commercial companies in the world,so my work mainly focused on advertising,working on production teams for hundreds of television commercials.I was fortunate to experience
such an amazing career at such a young age,working all over the country with some of the most creative people in the world.I had it all.
And then one day a sudden thought came through me like a lightning bolt.“This is an industry that uses anorexic（厌食的）models to sell diet food to teenage girls.”My life changed.
And I quit.

Right then.
That night I went home and was weak in my knees.I did not want to be part of the members making this problem;I wanted to be part of the people who had solution.But I had no idea what the solution looked like.My grandfather used to say,"Start with what you know,and more will be revealed."
I knew the film,television and advertising industries and almost everything about them.
So I started going into junior high schools.I held up pictures of the models to show what they looked like at five o'clock in the morning,and then held up another picture showing what they looked like after three hours of professional make-up,thirty-five lighting technicians,and professional photographers who can make anyone look beautiful and sexy...Not to mention the efforts of post-production,where they airbrush nearly all of the imperfection parts right out of the picture.With digital technology,they can even stretch the models to make them appear taller and thinner.
I talked to young girls and said,"This is a multi-billion dollar industry that spends millions of dollars a year proving to you that there is something wrong with you so that they can sell you something to fix it.So I am here to tell you that your teeth are white enough...And your breath is fresh enough...and your thighs are thin enough.You are enough."
You are enough,no matter what others say and what happens.

B．Y ou can't be too cautious when facing life choices.
C．It is who you are rather than what you look like that counts.
D．It is worthwhile to experience something interesting and creative.
25．（10分）Last year, when our three-year-old great-granddaughter Kylie was taken to see Santa Claus, she made sure to give him her wish list of toys. A week later, she ran into a different Santa in a mall. He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: “If you can’t remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!”
Mary Paul, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
As my son Mike and I drove to the mall, we passed a Salvation Army Santa ringing his bell. “Mike,” I said, “there’s Santa!” He shook his head. “That’s just some guy in a Sa nta suit,” he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, there’s the real Santa!”
Michael E. Fahey, Huntley, Illinois

Sometimes we’d hel p our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snow-white beard, laughing, “Ho, ho, ho!” He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.

29、Dear Li Hua,
I am very glad to hear from you. Meanwhile, I’m sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with your English listening. Here are some suggestions that may help you.
Firstly, keep listening every day. Nowadays, there are various listening materials for you to choose from. For example, you can find some recorded English passages or simply watch some English TV series. Secondly, why not learn from your classmates, especially those who have excellent English listening skills. Lastly, you’d better talk to your foreign teacher about your problem. Maybe she can give you some useful advice that suits you better.
There is no need to worry too much about it. Anyway, practice makes perfect. I am sure you can improve your listening as long as you work hard at it in the right way. Yours,
Tom。
