The baby elephant Ishanga was lying in the bushes, scared, starving, and struggling to breathe. Until just a few days before, she had been with her mother, walking through the sweeping grasslands of Tsavo National Park in the African country of Kenya.
The b a b y’s mother was killed, most likely by a poacher. On Wednesday, November 17，2010，an anti-poaching team was removing the deadly wire traps that poachers set throughout the park. Luckily, a member of the team spotted the baby and rushed to help her.
Suddenly, a lion sprang from the bushes and clamped its mouth around her neck. One person managed to pull out his gun and fire shots in the air. The shocked lion released the baby and backed away.
Now the weakened baby had a grave wound on her neck. About 300 miles north of Tsavo is a place that helps baby elephants. Over the years, the orphanage(孤儿院）has raised 130 elephants and successfully released them back into the wild.
After a tense wait and a plane ride, the baby’s rescuers made it to the orphanage. The medical staff worked frantically to treat her wound. She was scared and wild. She screamed, and wouldn’t let any humans get near her, refusing to eat or drink.
After two hours of intense medical care, Ishanga awoke and slowly struggled to her feet. Two keepers and a veterinarian had been with her all night. They were relieved that she seemed to be recovering.
The next day, though Ishanga remained weak, her keepers introduced her to some of the other 14 young elephants living at the orphanage. The keepers stood back as the other elephants extended their trunk in friendly greetings. The older elephants led Ishanga around, giving her a tour of her new home.
Over the past year, Ishanga’s wounds have healed. She has made many friends. It’ll be up to Ishanga to decide when she’s ready to leave the orphanage. Returning to the wild is a long process that can take more than 10 years. For now, she is in no rush to leave this extraordinary community of elephants and humans. Ishanga has a long, happy life ahead of her.

The United States is faced with serious traffic problems. Too many cars travel on the freeways to and from the city. This heavy traffic causes delays and lots of pollution from cars that are using their engines but not moving anywhere. Many cars going nowhere is called a “traffic jam.”
While many cities in the United States have traffic problems, some of the worst are in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is a big city with a large downtown area. One of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get around
Experts say one possible solution to the traffic problem in Los Angeles would be to make
people want to use the public transportation system of buses instead of their own cars. People say the buses should be made easier, faster, less costly and more dependable than driving a car.
One suggestion is to reduce the cost of riding the bus. People who usually drive their cars could save a lot of money on gas and parking costs. Also, Los Angeles could make the buses easier for people to use. The buses could travel to more places in the city. And there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive in. These changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car.
Other experts have said that the best way to ease traffic problems is to charge people money to drive on the freeways. These charges, or tolls, would be for the most crowded roads. The tolls would be in effect during the times of day when most people drive to work and home again. These times in the morning and late afternoon are called “rush hour”. People would try to avoid driving on these roads, which would decrease the amount of traffic. Also ，the money collected from these tolls could be used to improve the roads and public transportation system.

A.different means of transportation of the United States
B.possible solutions to solving American traffic problems
C.causes of the serious traffic problems in America
D.some new laws about American public transportation
37.Which is NOT the effect caused by the heavy traffic?
A.Too many private cars.

39.One of the ways the experts suggest is that _____.
A.people should avoid driving to work and home
B.more roads should be built for the increasing private cars

As the new semester begins, millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.
Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to break the spell(魔咒).
According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who don’t delay. Procrastinators like to find excuses " to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.
Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的）in a society that thinks of swift action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.
Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.
41.From the first two paragraphs we can learn that _____.
A.procrastination is beneficial to many students
B.many students are under great pressure in their study
C.lots of college students are working hard to write good articles on time
D.many students are getting into the habit of delaying finishing their tasks
42.According to the passage, procrastination probably refers to _____.
A. a bad habit
B. a serious illness
C. a difficult task
D. a form of entertainment
43.Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.Procrastination makes people waste their time.
B.Procrastinators usually complete their tasks perfectly.
C.Swift action is considered as a moral standard in the society.
D.Procrastination is common among people.
44.Which behavior belongs to procrastination?
A.Never dream away the time.
B.Always complete the tasks ahead of time.
C.Never put off till tomorrow what should be done today.
D.Always wait to work until the “good mood” or “good time”.
45.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A.Measures to deal with procrastination.
B.Approaches to handling the study pressures.
C.More examples to illustrate procrastination.
D.Introduction to the book The Procrastination Equation.
第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
请阅读以下人们关于“孩子玩电脑或电子游戏是否会影响他们的个性发展”的陈述。

A.For a lot of children, computers and video games are just an escape from reality, taking them away from real life for a while, replacing a stressful or boring environment with sights and sounds kids could only imagine before. They have the ability of entertaining people’s minds while drawing in the whole attention away from real life. So the result will be like this: whenever a child can’t handle problems in real life, he might just turn to computer games.
B.Reading Tom Sawyer or Harry Porter is as personal an act as playing an online game or even more personal than playing an online or two-player game. I’v e rarely seen two people happily reading ONE book together. But when kids play online games they need to work together and it encourages the development of social skills.
C.Many results can occur from playing video games, from feeling abandoned and becoming addicted to getting better in touch with what other students are doing. The question here is whether or not video games affect a child’s development, not if it is good or bad. Anything that you interact with is going to have an effect on your development.
D.People blame the computer and videos, because it is an easy target to hit. If you really want to look at people being lonely, look at the school system, where teachers could easily fix the problem by doing more group work with him/her choosing the students for the group. I mean, I could play outside by myself and still be lonely. There isn’t a difference.
E.I do believe our children’s development is affected by computers and video games play if too much time is spent because t h a t’s time that a child used to be playing outside with other children. I think that some computer work is good because it trains the brain in new patterns, but time on the computer need to be limited and playing outside should be encouraged.
F.I am 6 feet 2 inches, 185 lbs, all muscle. I’m one of the most popular students and I’v e had a constant 30+ hours of video games since I was in third grade. I played baseball all my life until high school, and still managed up to 40+ hours of video games. I am around the 80th position in my grade and have received many honors. So ifs not necessary that computer games affect a kid’s development in a bad way. It simply depends on how much exactly one plays, and how one manages their time.
下面是五位人士针对“孩子玩电脑或电子游戏是否会影响他们的个性发展”的观点，请从A-F中选出相应的陈述与之匹配。

46.Parents need to watch the time their kids spend on computers or video games.
47.The effect of playing computer or video games on a child is different but it is there.
puter or video games do affect children’s social development because they are not playing in reality.
49.If you have heard of online gaming, then you know video games can affect social development in a good way.
50.I’m living proof that computer or video games won’t do harm to kids.

_________________________________________________________________________________________第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Social Practice
Social practice has been more and more popular in schools. Senior school students are asked to enter society and get some ideas of it. Surely, social practice has many advantages. Firstly, social practice can offer students a chance to contact society and meet different kinds of people. In this way students can gain some precious social experience, which will be useful to their future career. Secondly, students can apply what they have learned in class to practical work, thus knowing themselves more clearly. Thirdly, social practice can bring them some financial reward and make them more independent of their family.
However, some problems may arise if no correct guidance is made. For example, some students get overly interested in social practice and want to work full-time and earn more money, thus neglecting their studies. And some students are likely to get in touch with the dark side of society, which will affect their future studies.
In order to carry out social practice smoothly, students should first know its objective. They should put their studies in the first place and see social practice just as a useful supplement, so they ought to try to strike a balance between social practice and their studies.
【写作内容】
