第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
It was raining as I ran out of the church, eager to get home and play with the gifts Father Christmas sent me. Across the street was a gas station，which was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing under the narrow overhang to keep dry。

I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I couldn’t wait to see my gifts。

Once I got home，there was hardly any time to enjoy my gifts。

My grandparents were still waiting for us to have Christmas dinner together at their house。

As we drove down the highway，I noticed that the family was still there.
The closer we got to my grandparents' house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father U—turned and said，“I can’t stand it！”“What？” asked my mother。

“It's those people back there at the gas station, standing in the rain。

”
When my father pulled into the station, I saw there were five of them：the parents and three children—two girls and a small boy. Then we learned that the family was waiting for the bus to Birmingham，where the man planned to find a job。

“Well，that bus won’t come along for several hours。

Winborn’s just a few miles away，and there is a shed（棚) with a cover there，" my father advised。

“I will run you up there。

”
Then they climbed into our car。

My father looked back and asked the children if Father Christmas had found them。

Three sad faces gave him his answer。

“Well, Father Christmas said he was having trouble finding you, so he just left your toys at my house this morning. Let’s go to get them first，” my father said。

All at once，the three children's faces lit up。

When we arrived at our house，one girl spied a lovely doll, that little boy took a ball, and the other girl picked up something else。

That was the Christmas when I learned the joy of making others happy.
21。

At the gas station the family might feel______.
A。

anxious B。

disappointed C. frightened D. ashamed 22.The three children received Christmas gifts thanks to_______。

24. What would be the best title for the text？

Four cinemas in the UK
The Kinema，Lincolnshire
It’s a wooden building on the outside and a two—screen cinema on the inside，all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village。

The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchair (折叠帆布躺椅）. Today，it's more richly decorated.
“People come here because it’s a fantastic experience,”says manager Philip Jones。

“Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special.”
The Cube，Bristol
It’s not really a cinema. It is a not—for—profit cooperative run by volunteers，which has been operating for the last 15 years。

They are “unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding.” They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt。

The Broadway, Nottingham
A cinema has been here since the 1960s，when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films，which heavily influenced his career choice。

Later，he designed the stripy（条纹的) sofas.
The Broadway was previously used as a church，but locals love it for its independent，art house, and DIY spirit。

The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant，with locally sourced vegetables and salads，and even serves its own beer.
The Rex，Hertfordshire
It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK。

There’s a varied program with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call。

People speak very highly of the Rex。

So do go，if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run。

25.In Philip Jones' opinion，the Kinema may attract people who_____。

A. live in the nearby villages
B。

are fond of rich decorations
C. are interested in wooden structures
D。

want to experience something special
26.We know from the text that the Broadway_____。

A. was built in 1960
B. owns a restaurant
C。

is next to a church
D. was designed by Paul Smith
27。

The Cube and the Broadway are similar in the way that both_____。

A. are non-profit cooperatives
B。

show arty foreign films
C. offer homemade drinks
D。

use stripy sofas
28.Which of the following has the longest history？
A. The Kinema. B。

The Cube. C. The Broadway.
D。

The Rex。

C
By 1938, Europe had been experiencing an increased number of attacks on Jews。

With no end in sight，Jewish refugee（难民) agencies requested the British government to allow them to bring in only Jewish children under17 years of age. This was to be only temporary，until the situation in
their home countries was improved。

Kindertransport, meaning “children transport” in German，was then born。

Children from Germany，Austria，Czechoslovakia，Poland and other Nazi-occupied regions were transported to the United Kingdom。

There they were either placed with other families or in hostels. Later，it was found that many of these children were the only survivors of their families。

Nicholas Winton was among those people who helped to save Jewish children。

He managed to rescue 669 children from Czechoslovakia and bring them safely to England。

In 1938 around Christmas，29—year-old Nicky was about to leave for a skiing holiday. Suddenly, Martin Blake，one of his good friends, contacted（联络）him from Czechoslovakia，asking him to travel there to help political refugees on the run from the Nazis。

And Nicholas agreed。

Nicky spent his entire holiday of 3 weeks in the capital city of Prague where he saw the situation first-hand。

Once back in England，he immediately started organizing the evacuation（撤离) of children from the Czech region。

From advertising for the necessary permits，Nicky worked tirelessly。

By August 1939, 669 children had been helped by Nicky and his friends。

Haplessly, the last group of children due to leave Prague in the beginning of September could not do so—World War Ⅱbroke out，and swallowed them up.
Nicky did not discuss his particular task with his wife，Grete。

It was only when she found a scrapbook in 1988，with names of the rescued
children，their (lost）parents and the foster families that had taken them in, that his heroism came to light. Nicky has received several awards in Britain and the Czech Republic.
29.Kindertransport aimed to_____。

A. help the homeless
B. transfer the affected
C。

stop German attacks
D。

save Jewish children
30.We can learn from the text that Nicholas Winton_____。

A. knew nothing about what happened in Prague
B. did a lot to help Jewish children out of danger
C。

always told his wife what he was doing
D。

saved 669 children and their parents
31.The underlined word “Haplessly" in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “___”。

a)Unfortunately B。

Hopefully C。

Strangely D。

Importantly
32.Which of the following can best describe Nicholas Winton？
A。

Strict but caring
B。

Proud but patient
C。

Warm-hearted and cautious
D。

Hard—working and humorous
D
In 1985，a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida。

Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. And they are continuing to move south。

Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans。

So how did they end up in the Atlantic？Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea. Little did they know the trouble their actions would cause。

The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish. Their venomous spines （毒刺）protect them from sharks and other fish. Female lionfish can spawn (产卵）every few days, producing as many as 2 million eggs per year。

Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food。

Bet overfishing has removed many of these large fish。

As a result，the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more then three times the size of their cousins in the Pacific and Indian Oceans。

“They eat mostly fish，” says Stephanie Green，a scientist at Oregon State University.
All that eating has caused great changes。

Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere, many other fish, which are small enough for them to eat，disappear。

Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats。

For example, parrotfish eat certain plants off corals（珊瑚），which allows corals to grow better。

But they are now disappearing due to lionfish。

Scientists say lionfish are here to stay. But there are ways to deal with the problem。

The key，says Green，is to keep lionfish numbers in check。

In Florida, drivers can now go though a special training program and get certified（授予合格证书）to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed. And a number of restaurants have added the fish to the menu。

“It’s going to be a long-term battle, but the missing sea species will come back someday，" says Green。

33.What can we learn about lionfish？
A. Its population is growing very quickly。

B。

All of them are almost the same size。

C。

They eat other big fish and even sharks
D。

Most of them have gathered in the Atlantic.
34.Parrotfish were mentioned to show lionfish's _____.
A。

loneliness B. carelessness C。

weakness D. harmfulness
35.What is Stephanie Green's attitude to the battle against lionfish?
A。

She doubts it。

B. She is hopeful of it.
C。

She is worried about it.
D。

She thinks it is against the law。

Ways to make your schoolyard green
Many schools are now doing everything they can to become green schoolyard。

Of course，there are plenty of things that students can do to achieve that goal。

36
The amount of paper a student uses in a term is countless. There are class notes，term papers, student newspapers, and pictures printed out。

37 But if you can do your best to reuse them, it will soon help create a better green schoolyard。

Limit the use of paper cups。

You may often use disposable（一次性的) cups in your dormitory. In fact，this is really bad for the environment。

38 Glass cups are fine。

Just wash them by hand or throw them into a dish washer if you have one。

Limit the use of paper napkins（餐巾纸)。

We are not telling you not to eat without using paper napkins，but we are telling you not to overdo them。

Generally，students eat a lot of fast food every day, which means a lot of napkins get taken out free. 39 Walk，bike, and limit the use of cars。

Most schoolyards, especially those that are trying to become more environment—friendly，have pretty good public transit（公共交通)。

40 Walking or biking will not only help make your schoolyard a green one,
but will also save you a lot of money.
A.It’s easy for you to ride a bike.
B.Limit the amount you take out！
C.Recycle all the paper if possible。

D.Take a taxi whenever it is possible.
E.And it is just a waste of your money.
F.You’d better not use any dish washer。

G.We know that these things cannot be avoided。
