meals.There's a catch,however.You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week.There are no books or television or radio for amusement.You can't leave until the week is up.And a camera will be recording your every move.Two people actually took the job.The idea came from Rob Thompson,a video artist.He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated.His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food.He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.To Rob's surprise,quite a few people answered his advertisement.He had interviewed and selected Eric,a 24﹣year﹣old restaurant worker,and Para,a 24﹣year﹣old chemist.The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide.A camera would record their experiences,which would take place in an art museum.The week was long and difficult.They slept on a hard wooden floor.They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads.They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe.Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain.There were no sinks,mirrors,or toothbrushes in the cage.Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage.Visitors who came here were warned,"Do not feed the humans."Finally it was over,and Para and Eric appeared from their cage.They had survived the week,and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands.When RobThompson opened the cage,Eric came out,changed into clean clothes,and ate a chocolate bar right away."It's great to be able to stand up,"he said.Para just changed her clothes and left.After a week of visitors and reporters watching her,she didn't want to talk to anyone.56.What kind of person is Rob Thompson?A.He is curious about people's personal life.B.He is kind﹣hearted to animals.C.He hates people around.D.He likes to help poor people.57.The underlined word"catch"probably means.A.unsolved problem B.surprising wonderC.unbelievable fact D.hidden difficulty58.What made it most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?A.They didn't know each other.B.They couldn't lie down to sleep in the cage.C.They didn't have meat to eat.D.They had to do almost everything under others'eyes.59.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.Easy Way to Earn $2,500 B.Do Not Feed the HumansC.Living Like a Chicken D.Getting Along Well Anyway.60.(8分)This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents.Can you

they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI)of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show.That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds."This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,"said physician Adatto."Underweight models,"he explained,"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny."But some critics in this country say it is misguided,focusing on weight instead of health.They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry."I think it's an approach that isn't going to work."said eating disorder expert Susan Ice,who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized.He said."I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation.There was no time to waste;so many girls were dieting to death."However,the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.Still,folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with."Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,"she says."It's a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal."64.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is.A.to change the working conditions of modelsB.to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65.In the opinion of the critics,the law won't succeed because.A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.B.it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well.C.it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models.D.the fashion industry is much too influential.66.What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?A.Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.B.Establishing his fashion model agent.C.Being interviewed by a reporter.D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.67.(8分)In face of global warming,much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies.But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives,it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.In the meantime,the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."As long as we're consuming fossil fuels,we're putting out CO2,"says Klaus Lackner,a geophysicist at Columbia University,"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely."That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2,which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming."We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral (基本的)role in reducing emissions,"says Kim Corley,Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs.That forward thinking strategy is gaining support.The U.S.Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant.The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants.But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it?One option is to put it to new uses.Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts (转换)coal into synthetic(合成的)natural gas.It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada,where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations.In the Netherlands,Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses,increasing their production of fruits and vegetables.However,scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage.Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean,Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline (盐的)formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.67.What does the author intend to tell readers?A.How to find more oil and natural gases.B.How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.C.How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively.D.How to make good use of solar and wind energy.68.According to the passage,the following statements are true EXCEPT that.A.the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B.it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC.capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D.long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69.By using CO2,Dutch farmers have been able to.A.increase their production of fruits and vegetables B.convert coal into synthetic natural gasC.pump it underground in oil recovery operations D.make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70.How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph?A.It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy.B.It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U.S government sponsors.C.It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful.D.It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment.第四部分:任务型阅读(满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.每个空格只填一个单词.71.(10分)Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life,and we should keep learning something new every day.To become a lifelong learner,first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie.You can try many different things so that you'll find you're not only good at a few things.Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things.This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things.Anyway,be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now.To make learning fun,you need to see learning as an exploration,not a chore (杂事).Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary.Instead,learn things you need to learn and you love to learn.Follow your heart,as well as your sense of duty.Even when you're learning the things you have to,seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn.Look at the history,case studies,different applications,etc.,to make your learning experience much more colorful.Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful.So make friends with local new and used book sellers.Through reading you'll never stop learning.Wise people read lots of books all the time;it's as simple as that.And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.So remember that books,newspapers,and magazines are all reading,and as are websites,reviews and other online sources of information.Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers.So be sure to listen closely and understand the response.Sometimes a response is difficult to understand.Feel free to take notes,ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components (成分)to make sense of it.You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have.Questions can teach as much as,or more than,answers.To be a lifelong learner,often evaluate (评估)and apply what you learn.Does it make sense?Is it true?Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning.In addition,applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer.How to become a lifelong learner.ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsKnow what you are good at and(71)By trying many different things,you can be aware of your possible (72)to do many things well.You should overcome your past memories and don't(73)any chance to tryin.something new.View learningas an exploration.Don't force yourself to learn something.Instead,be eager to learn what(74)to you.When learning the things you have to,also try to make it(75).Do more reading.Try your best to read various books because reading can help you avoid something(76).You can read books,newspapers,magazines as well as different(77)information.Ask right questions.When you have(78)understanding the response,take notes and ask more questions to help yourself.You can(79)your learning and problems in a

doctors made ______ juice from a tree bark containing salicylic acid.()A.不填,a B.the,不填C.the,a D.不填,不填【分析】大约2500年前,古希腊医师希波克拉底﹣﹣医生之父,就用树皮制成了包含水杨酸的一种汤药.【解答】答案:A.第一个空为泛指所有医生的鼻祖,即医生之父,所有不用任何冠词,第二空指的是制成了一种汤药,为泛指其中的一种;故选A.【点评】解答冠词的题目注意分清句中所表示的内容是特指还是泛指,表示泛指一般用不定冠词a/an;而表示特指用定冠词the.22.(1分)﹣﹣﹣I saw your uncle take a taxi to the airport.Why didn't you drive him there?﹣﹣﹣I _______.But my car _______.()A.would have;was being fixedB.would have;was fixedC.would;was fixedD.did;was being fixed【分析】﹣我看到你的叔叔打的去的机场,你为什么没开车送他去?﹣我本来想去的,但是我的车当时正在修理.【解答】答案:A.结合句意可知第一个空为虚拟语气,表示对过去的虚拟,用would/should/could+have+过去分词;第二个空表示事实,当时汽车正在被修理,故用过去进行时的被动语态,综合分析各个选项,正确答案为A.【点评】本题考查动词的时态和语态,根据关键性单词和句意确定好句子的时态和语态,就很容易找出正确答案了.23.(1分)The

D.before【分析】第一台彩色电视机于1928制造,但是直到1938年,第一档彩色的电视节目才播放.【解答】答案:C.本题是强调句型,强调句型的基本结构为It is/was被强调成分that/who其它成分;其最大的特点就是去掉it is/was…that/who…句子仍然成立.即本句可变换成not until 1938 the first program was

Leaves which had been rich in color were now being burned along with dead brush under the watchful eye of someone who waved as we drove by. Chimney smoke reminded us the area we were visiting was colder than the city, and fireplaces in homes were heated as the months would soon turn to cooler winter days. While riding along the country road, the trees stood tall, heavily decorated with a mass of fallen leaves that lay on the ground against their big trunks.Upon arrival, our grandparents always put out a pumpkin flashing with a smile. Grandpa made a supply of pumpkin pie and cooked the seeds with salt for us to eat. Often the small town would have a homecoming celebrat ion on Saturday morning, and we’d eagerly walk through two blocks to the main street area where the school band would start off the festivities.All of these things are safely guarded in the place where memories are stored, as time goes by and the events of days past become more precious to me. When I got married and we raised our family, fall trips to pumpkin farms became a yearly event to my husband and our children.Each generation does things differently, and each child has their own ways to find their favorite memories. Whenever I drive along a country road, I often picture scenes from the small towns in Michigan, and the places where a simple beauty combines with so much love.24.

S. team won the high school Olympics of math. Yet something was missing from both six-member teams: girls. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). But it is a problem.Girls are underrepresented at math competitions, generally. The American Invitation Mathematics Exam (AIME) is a program of American Mathematics Competition (AMC). Participation in it is by invitation only. Of the 3,223 students who took part in the event, this year, roughly 14 in every 100 participants were girls.These numbers are striking because girls can be just as good at math as boys are. But somehow, many girls pick up the idea that math isn’t for them. And not only do they enter competitions less often than boys do, but they also are less likely to pursue math-related careers.。
