Each year the Pritzker Architecture Prize (普立兹克建筑奖) goes to a star designer with a long list of attractive buildings around the world. This year’s winner is a little different.
Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert halls. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work the temporary (暂时的) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters.
Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildings out of paper — cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually tested the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surprised by what he had discovered. He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan, Haiti, China and elsewhere.
“After a disaster, the building material is going to be more expensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a building material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the material easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earthquake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t need heavy m achines to work with them.”
Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office.
Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. before moving back to Japan to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temporary buildings have become permanent (永久的), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.
60. The author uses the first paragraph to .
A. raise an argument
B. give an introduction
C. give an example
D. offer a description

A. He failed to get this year’s architecture prize.
B. He graduated from the best architecture school in the U.S.
C. He is good at building houses for homeless people.
D. He builds special houses for special groups of people.
62. Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?
A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.
B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.
C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.
D. Because they are common and hard to break.
63. What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?
A. A new way of building houses by using wood.
B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.
C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.
D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material.

My name is Jack. I am eighteen years old and next fall I will go to college. So far I have not done any things that are really interesting. I have not seen a natural wonder of the world. I have not thought up any amazing ideas. I have not met anyone famous. I have not even swum in the Pacific Ocean.
Some weeks ago, I read an article written by a teenager. He has cancer and doesn’t have many days left. He is traveling around the world to do what he really wants to do before he dies. What he wrote made me realize that I need to go out and experience life. It is not like I am unhappy with my life now. I just think there is much more to see and do outside my home and school.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “Learn as if you were to live forever. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.” This quote makes me have a strong desire (渴望) to experience a more exciting life. The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent lasts forever. I hope that
when I look back on m y life many years from now, I will be able to say, “I saw that, I did that, and I was a part of that.” Now I do not know what “that” is, but if it is something special enough to remember fifty, sixty, or seventy years later, I will be happy to do it.
64. In Para. 1, the author wants to show that .
A. he wants to have a change in college
B. he lives a very boring life every day
C. he is just like any other young man in the world
D. he hasn’t done anything exciting in his life so far
65. What do we know about the teenager mentioned in Para. 2?
A. He is a popular writer.
B. He has passed away.
C. He wants to make good use of his remaining days.
D. He is interested in nothing now because of his cancer.
66. What does the author want to tell us?
A. We should learn well about our life.
B. We should quit school for a better life.
C. We should spend every day studying.
D. We should live every day to its fullest.

We now only sleep for six hours and 41 minutes each night and half of us have no chance of a weekend lie-in, a new study shows. And it seems even during the week, we are struggling to get enough shut-eye.
It is said that two-thirds of us are sleeping for only six hours and 27 minutes every night, one hour and 33 minutes shorter than the normal daily amount (总额) of sleep — eight hours. More than 27 percent are getting less sleep than they did a year ago. Instead of a weekend lie-in, most people will choose 11 minutes of extra snooze button (睡眠键) time, which could be bad for health. 68 percent now use their mobile phone to wake them up every morning. Four out of ten adults say they set their wake-up call earlier than needed, then hit the snooze button on their mobile phones twice for an 11 minutes’ rest, in order to make their bodies feel like they have had
more sleep.
P rofessor Stevie Williams said, “Setting your alarm clock much earlier and continually pressing the snooze button actually makes you feel even weaker after a night’s sleep. Napping in this way can make you miss out on the important REM sleep, which happens just before you wake up. And it is necessary for you to use the weekend to catch up on the sleep debt during the week.”
A third of adults are kept awake at night because of money worries, a quarter can’t fall asleep due to family problems, and just under one-fifth worry about work stresses. Being short of sleep is extremely harmful to a person’s heath and well-being. But we have to stop treating sleep as a luxury (奢侈品), and realize that it is necessary to get eight hours of sleep every night.
67. What can we know about REM sleep?
A. We should avoid it before we wake up each day.
B. It happens before we wake up and is good for our health.
C. It’s useless to enjoy this stage of sleep before we wake up.
D. It can do harm to our health as it makes us wake up earlier.
68. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To show what keeps us awake.
B. To tell us why we need to treat sleep seriously.
C. To give us some tips on how to get a sound sleep.
D. To offer some evidence that sleep is a kind of luxury.
69. The author writes the passage in order to tell us that we should .
A. avoid working late into the night
B. get enough sleep and know its importance
C. try to keep a balance between family and work
D. replace the unhealthy lifestyle with a healthy one
70. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. What an eight-hour sleep means
B. Why people need to sleep every day
C. How to get a sound sleep
D. Enough sleep is very important

Are African wild dogs really dogs? What’s the difference between African wild dogs and the dogs we know as pets? For one thing, African wild dogs, which live in Africa, only have four toes, while domestic (驯养的) dogs and wolves have five. But you won’t want to count for yourself, because they are truly wild animals.
“Wild dogs are not somebody’s domestic dogs that ran away and didn’t come back, although some people used to think that,” explains Dr. McNutt, w ho studies these animals at Wild Dog Research Camp in the African country of Botswana. “They are actually Africa’s wolves, and just like wolves, they do not make good pets. They need to be out in the wild doing what they are supposed to do — find the food they need to survive and feed their babies.” In fact, they travel so far that researchers have to use radio collars (颈圈) to keep track of them. The collars send out radio signals that tell people where the dogs are. No two wild dogs have the same pattern of coats, so it is easy to tell them apart.
African wild dogs are smart and sociable, like pet dogs. Adult dogs, male and female, are willing to take good care of young ones.
Millions of domestic dogs live on the planet, but there are probably fewer than 6,000 African wild dogs left. Humans hunt them, and farmers who don’t want them to go after cows and sheep poison them. Humans are also destroying the wild, natural habitat (栖息地) they need to survive in. Fortunately, today more farmers are finding other ways to protect their cows and sheep from African wild dogs instead of killing the animals.
71. Which of the following can explain why African wild dogs are different from domestic dogs?
A. African dogs can live longer than domestic dogs.
B. African dogs are much bigger in size than domestic dogs.
C. African dogs have fewer toes than domestic dogs.
D. African dogs are much more dangerous than domestic dogs.
72. In Dr. McNutt’s view, African wild dogs .
A. generally are not used to living in groups
B. can be trained as pet dogs
C. actually are missing domestic dogs
D. are a kind of wolves
73. What’s the researchers’ purpose of using radio collars?
A. To tell African wild dogs apart from other dogs.
B. To play games with African wild dogs.
C. To know where African wild dogs go.
D. To prevent African wild dogs from traveling too far.
74. What suggestion does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. African wild dogs should be protected instead of being killed.
B. Farmers should use domestic dogs to fight against wild dogs.
C. Farmers should take responsibility for feeding African wild dogs.
D. African wild dogs should be used to protect farmers’ cows and sheep.
75. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?
A. How to keep wild dogs
B. An introduction to African wild dogs
C. How to train domestic dogs
D. Differences between domestic dogs and wild dogs

第一节任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Starting high school is an important event in a young person’s life. To make friends on your first day of high school, firstly, you should try to make a good first impression. So take care what you say and how you say i t. Don’t be loud and remember people’s names when they introduce themselves. Be friendly and keep smiling because people are much more likely to talk to someone who is smiling and appears confident.
Secondly, don’t do anything you aren’t comfortable with doing just in order to fit in with a person or crowd. You want people to like you for being yourself, and giving a false impression can lead to embarrassment (尴尬) later. Take the time to introduce yourself to people that you think may have similar interests to yours.
Thirdly, you can start a conversation with people about the school layout (布局). Ask how you can get to your classroom or dormitory, and most people will want to be helpful and may walk you to it, giving you chance to get to know them better.
Fourthly, consider taking part in after-class activities that you are interested in, such as sports, band and drama club. High school will have a much wider choice of after-class activities than you were used to in middle school.
Last but not least, give it time. Making good friends will take time especially as you have a new school routine to get used to as well. Do not rush into getting to know people. After all, there is a good chance that the friends you make in the first weeks of high school will be with you through the rest of your school life.

One possible version
The reform of the National College Entrance Examination is widely discussed by the populace. Some people think this is a good reform. Because it pays more attention to Chinese and students should spend more time on native cultures. Chinese is our mother tongue. We can only concentrate on the study of English under the foundation of learning Chinese well. What’s more, reducing the scores for English does not mean lowering the importance of the language. Instead, it intends to highlight its practical application.
However, others consider that the reform can’t meet the steps of the globalization and development. Besides, English can further bridge china and the world.
But in my opinion, the most importance thing is that it’s necessary to give people the chance to make their own decision. The reform is a double-edged sword.。
