A mile into her walk, she spotted a beautiful female mute swan near the water's edge. Cordova, 30, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center, knew that mute swans can be aggressive(侵略性的). But as she approached this one, it didn't move.She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Cordova draped(披,悬挂)her jacket over the bird's head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it gently in her arms. She was wondering how to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike to the recovery center when, luckily, some confused strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station. Cordova called the recovery center on the way, and Tristan, an animal care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird, the bike, and the rescuer to the facility(场所). There, staff members determined that the swan might have lead(铅)poisoning. Sadly, even with all that tender loving care, the swan got contracted, which caused her passed away two months after being rescued.It's a disappointing ending, but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city.

The first Asian Games were held in New Delhi, India in 1951. China has hosted two Asian Games in Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010 respectively.Compared with other international comprehensive sports events, the Asian Games have non-Olympic sports. The Hangzhou Asian Games will be the largest comprehensive sports event in Asia ever, with 40 sports including 61 sub-ones and 481 gold medals to be awarded. There are symbolic sports representing Asia such as wushu, sepak takraw, cricket and ju-jitsu, and emerging ones that are popular with the youth such as skateboarding, sport climbing, e-sports and breaking(霹雳舞), with the latter two newly-introduced in this Games. The Hangzhou Asian Games will present the diversity and inclusiveness(包容性)of Asian sports culture.Boasting the West Lake and known as "paradise on earth", Hangzhou is one of the birthplaces of Chinese silk, calligraphy, painting, printing and seal cutting(篆刻), and a city with artistic conception and innovative vitality(活力), leading in the areas of Internet and digital economy in China.The Games' three mascots(吉祥物)named Chenchen, Congcong and Lianlian are three robots carrying cultural and modern meanings.

Now, a new study has sounded a fresh warning on the damage caused to the marine ecosystem(海洋生态系统)due to plastics thrown away, which finally has an effect on human health due to the seafood we eat.In a paper titled A Growing Plastic Smog published on March 8 in the research journal Plos One, researchers called on governments around the world to take thorough action to address the "plastic pollution" of the world's oceans.No one knows for certain what the long-term damage will be to marine life and humans, but the study placed the blame on the plastics industry for failing to recycle or design for recyclability.Marcus Eriksen, lead author of the study, said in a statement that the findings were a "obvious warning that we must act now at a global scale". "We've found an alarming trend of exponential(指数的)growth of microplastics in the global ocean since the millennium(千禧年), reaching over 170 trillion plastic particles," said Eriksen, adding that the exponential increase in microplastics across the world's oceans makes it essential to guide in an age of shared responsibility for the entire life of the things they make.12. What does the new research's finding focus on?A. The polluted seafood.B. The bad effect of plastic pollution.C. The damage caused by marine ecosystem.13. Who should take responsibility for the damage caused by plastic pollution?A. The plastics industry.B. Governments.C. Common people.14.

![2022-2023学年浙江省金华十校高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷(4月)及答案解析](https://img.taocdn.com/s3/m/61dd3dee5122aaea998fcc22bcd126fff7055dce.png)
2022-2023学年浙江省金华十校高三第二次模拟考试英语试卷(4月)一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)ASSI Advanced Adventurer Course•2 sessions of 8h•The AAC starts on every Wednesday and Saturday, lasting 2 days•Fees: $450Exploration, Excitement, ExperiencesThat's what the Advanced Adventurer course is all about. You don't have to be "advanced" to take it— it's designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives.Who should take this course?Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are ready to step up and sign up for an Advanced Adventurer course. Divers under 18 may only participate in certain Adventures Dives—check with your SSI Instructor.What will you learn?You'll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives—Deep and Underwater Navigation—and you choose the other three. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive helps improve your navigation skills. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have—photography, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.What scuba equipment will you use?Beyond basic scuba equipment, you'll need a compass and a dive knife. You may also use specialized equipment depending on the Adventure Dives you choose. Your SSI Instructor will explain the equipment that you need and may suggest additional equipment.1. On which of the following dates can you take the course?A. From Friday to Saturday.B. From Saturday to Sunday.C. From Tuesday to Wednesday.D. From Wednesday to Saturday.2. How many dives can you learn during the course?A. 2.B. 3.C. 5.D. 7.3. Which of the following is a must to take the SSI Advanced Adventurer Course?A. Reaching adulthood.B. Specialized diving equipment.C. Advanced scuba skills.D. Open Water Diver certification.BThey said it couldn't be done. They said he was crazy. They said he would never make it.But Duane Hansen and his beautiful pumpkin, which he named Berta, proved them all wrong. Like Cinderella's fairy godmother, this Nebraska man proved that you really can turn a pumpkin into a functional vehicle—in this case, a seaworthy vessel(船).Yes, you read that right. Hansen wanted to celebrate his 60th birthday by hollowing out his prized 846-pound pumpkin and sailing down the Missouri River inside it. Not only did Hansen enjoy a pumpkin sail on his special day, but his 38-mile journey also landed him a world record! In case you wondered, the previous world record for the longest sail in a pumpkin was 25 miles, set by a North Dakota man in 2018.It wasn't an easy journey. Growing a pumpkin big enough to use as a boat is already a challenge. Then, there was his chosen waterway. The city of Bellevue, Nebraska, posted a photogragh of Hansen on the water that offers a reminder of just how big the Missouri River is."He has always said that you can do anything you want and I'm just so proud," Hansen's daughter Morgan Buchholz said.Hansen reportedly spent nearly a decade trying to grow a pumpkin big enough to work as a sailing vessel. He was inspired to begin his mission after meeting a woman who had previously won "the Biggest Pumpkin Competition". He asked her many questions about her experience.As for his pumpkin-sailing future, "I'm done with this." Hansen said that the voyage made his knees ache. The wake(尾流) from boats was rough, and when they passed, he said he had to stop everything andjust hang on. "If somebody breaks this record, I will, like, bow down to them because they are tough," he said.4. Why did Hansen go on a pumpkin journey?A. To observe his birthday.B. To show his prized pumpkin.C. To break a world record.D. To prove pumpkin could be a vessel.5. What did Hansen do to make his journey possible?A. He chose a calm waterway.B. He talked with the previous record holder.C. He convinced his family to support his plan.D. He worked a long time to grow the pumpkin.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. His knees got seriously injured in the sailing.B. His vessel tured over in the wake from boats.C. Hansen will respect whoever breaks his record.D. Hansen will continue the pumpkin-sailing in future.7. What does Hansen's story tell us?A. It is never too old to learn.B. Time and tide wait for no man.C. Where there's a will, there's a way.D. Fear always springs from ignoranceCAs the climate crisis speeds up, Europe is warming faster than any other region, according to a new State of the Climate in Europe report from the World Meteorological Organization.The WMO report comes ahead of the UN's international climate summit in Egypt, and is one in a series of reports over the past several weeks that show how the world is off-track on its climate goals. Notonly are countries missing the mark on their efforts to reduce planet-warming fossil fuel emissions(排放物), but measurements show temperatures are already skyrocketing.Some continents are feeling that rise more than others. Wednesday's report shows temperatures in Europe have increased at more than twice the global average over the past 30 years—at a rate of about 0.5 degrees Celsius per decade.Recent reports show how the region's temperature rise is fueling extreme weather.Year-to-date through July, the number of wildfires in the EU was four times the 15-year average. A deadly, record-breaking heatwave in the UK harmed public health and bent infrastructure (基础设施). Exceptional drought troubled the continent this summer, drying up some of the world's most economically important rivers. And that drought that came on the heels of some of the most destructive floods Europe has ever seen."Europe presents a live picture of a warming world and reminds us that even well-prepared societies are not safe from impacts of extreme weather events," said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in a forward on the report."European society is vulnerable(易受伤害的) to climate variability and change, but Europe is also at the forefront of the international effort to address climate change and to develop innovative solutions to adapt to the new climate. Europeans will have to live with," Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement.Taalas said in his forward that although Europe's pace on cutting planet-warming emissions has been "good", their ambition on this front "should be further increased".8. What can we learn about the world's climate goals from the WMO report?A. They are unrealistic.B. They are easy to reach.C. They are taken seriously.D. They are far from being achieved.9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The economic losses in Europe.B. The causes of the climate crisis in Europe.C. The increase of extreme weather in Europe.D. The most destructive natural disaster in Europe.10. What is Buontempo's attitude towards Europe's effort to fight climate change?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Unclear.D. Intolerant.11. What should Europe do to further cut emissions according to Taalas?A. Take the lead.B. Set a higher goal.C. Make better preparations.D. Carry on their good work.DU.S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there's growing concern over how social media may affect their mental health. Now, a new study has found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens feel better about their body image and their appearance.The study arose from the personal experience of Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at MeGill University. "What I noticed when I was engaging in social media was that I couldn't help but compare myself," Thai says. She was well aware that social media posts often feature polished, airbrushed or filtered images that can alter(改变) appearances in an unrealistic way, but it still affected her negatively.So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether cutting time on social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat would improve body image. They recruited a few hundred volunteers, all of whom had experienced symptoms of anxiety or depression, which could make them vulnerable to the effects of social media. Half of the participants were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks while the other half continued to use social media with no restrictions, which averaged about three hours per day.The researchers gave the participants surveys at the beginning and end of the study, which included statements such as "I'm pretty happy about the way I look," and "I am satisfied with my weight." Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a5-point scale. This may seem like a small change, but any shift in such a short period of time is striking, the authors say."The study is encouraging, but it only included people who had symptoms of anxiety or depression. It's worth evaluating this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders. It's also possible that the benefits of cutting back could extend more broadly to anyone in this age group," says Psychologist Andrea Graham, co-director of the Center for Behavioral Intervention at Northwestern University.12. What problem may social media bring to teenagers according to Thai?A. They may become addicted to the Internet.B. They tend to become sensitive to others' comments.C. They may have unrealistic expectations of their image.D. They tend to compare themselves with the images posted online.13. What can we learn about the participants during the study?A. They scored their appearance twice.B. Half of them stopped using social media.C. They hoped to improve their body image.D. Most of them showed dissatisfaction with their weight.14. What did Graham think of the study?A. It was a good try but had limitations.B. It was well designed but poorly conducted.C. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.D. It was encouraging but the evidence was unreliable.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Shorter Screen Time, Better Feelings on LookB. How to Help Teenagers Limit Screen timeC. How Social Media Changes TeenagersD. Less Anxiety, Better Image二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. However, the best time for exercise is different for each person. (1)Determine when you have the most energy. Do you struggle to get out of the bed in the morning or do you wake up energized and ready to go? Are you a night owl and never get to bed before midnight? Once you establish what your sleep tendencies are, you will have a better idea of when your body is most ready to exercise. (2) You are more likely to hit the snooze button instead of getting a workout in.Consider your daily schedule. When are you the busiest? (3) Try to fit in exercise before or at least around these events. Some people would prefer to get it out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put it off until the end of the day when they are all caught up.Determine your exercise goals. If you are trying to develop a routine, you may want to exercise in the morning. People who exercise in the morning are more consistent. (4) If you are trying to improve your performance, evening exercise may be best. You may experience less tiredness, quicker reaction times, and more strength and flexibility in the evening. If you are trying to lose weight, you may want to exercise in the morning before you have eaten when your body is more likely to use fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.(5) This way, you'll see how you feel and find the time that works best with your schedule. Keep an exercise log to help you evaluate each time.A.This will give your body time to relax.B.Do you perform better in the morning or at night?C.You may not feel like exercising after a long day of work.D.When do you tend to schedule your most important tasks?E.Consider your lifestyle and exercise goals to find the right time.F.If you're not a morning person, do not schedule an early morning workout.G.Anyway, you'd better experiment with both morning and evening workouts.16.

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67. The racehorses are given handicaps so that _____.A. they will weigh the sameB. previous winners are unlikely to winC. the race will be fair enoughD. they will be more adaptable to the race68. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. the spectators of the Melbourne Cup must dress wellB. the Melbourne Cup was intended for wealthy peopleC. the winner of the Melbourne Cup can earn a large fortuneD. the Melbourne Cup is the best-known horserace worldwide69.

The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting: a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting: a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting: a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting: an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.Want to attractand keeptop talent? Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81.

Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1I’ve been writing for most of my life. Th e book Writing without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pagesas the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.41. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means ________.[A] no one can be both creative and critical[B] they cannot be regarded as equally important[C] they are in constant conflict with each other[D] one cannot use them at the same time42. What prevents people from writing on is ________.[A] putting their ideas in raw form[B] attempting to edit as they write[C] ignoring grammatical soundness[D] trying to capture fleeting thoughts43. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?[A] To organize one’s thoughts logically.[B] To choose an appropriate topic.[C] To get one’s ideas down.[D] To collect raw materials.44. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that ________.[A] it overstresses the role of the creative mind[B] it takes too much time to edit afterwards[C] it may bring about too much criticism[D] it does not help them to think clearly45. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?[A] It refines his writing into better shape.[B] It helps him to come up with new ideas.[C] It saves the writing time available to him.[D] It allows him to sit on the side and observe.Passage 2Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.46.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be __________.[A] its power source [B] its driving system[C] its monitoring system [D] its seating capacity47. What is the author’s main concern?[A] How to render automobiles pollution-free.[B] How to make smaller and safer automobiles.[C] How to solve the problem of traffic jams.[D] How to develop an automated subway system.48. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?[A] A rail. [B] An engine.[C] A retractable arm. [D] A computer controller.49. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is __________.[A] keep in the right lane[B] wait to arrive at his destination[C] keep in constant touch with the computer center[D] inform the system of his destination by phone50. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?[A] Enthusiastic. [B] Pessimistic. [C] Optimistic. [D] Cautious.Passage 3The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.51. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that__________.[A] those countries encourage people to have large families[B] people can get government support if they have more kids[C] improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly[D] those countries have enough resources to support a large population52. The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values __________.[A] in carrying out family planning [B] in producing birth control drugs[C] in improving public health standards [D] in introducing birth control techniques53. A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to __________.[A] a rise in work efficiency [B] a shortage of farm workers[C] a decline in grain production [D] a reduction in average income54. Some people believe that population control in developed countries may __________.[A] increase market demand [B] lower unemployment rate[C] slow down economic growth [D] create more job opportunities55. According to the writer, developed countries prefer __________.[A] a standstill population [B] a fast increasing population[C] a slowly growing population [D] a steadily decreasing populationIV.

Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won't work.A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you'll be wasting a powerful tool --- the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what's going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界线) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.36. The main idea of the text is that ___A_____ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible37. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage ? AA. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.38. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?CA. It can move easily.B. It can make small things look larger.C. It can show things in the future.D. It can give us a scene of realism.39. In what way are plays different from film? CA. Films often use real scenery while plays don't.B. Films can show the past while plays can't.C. Films change scenes while plays don't.D. Film audience can move while play audience can't.40.

第三部分:阅读理解 A Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll b3e wasting a powerful tool --- the camera. A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands. The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.36. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible37.

Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria.(保加利亚) The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable.

Do not use the flash on your camera, because it can distract the athletes.4. When the athletes are aiming at the target, keep your voice down.*Baseball, basketball & football1. Drinks in glass bottles or cans are not allowed.2. Don’t bring a whistle. Referees use them and you can confuse the players.3. Players can be tense when taking a shot. Keep the cheering down at critical moments. Do not use the camera flash.4. If you easily get nervous, bring some biscuits. Keep your mouth moving to calm you down.*Cycling & marathon1. Spectators should keep off the track. Control your pets.2. Cyclists or runners might look tired, sweaty and thirsty, but, do not hand them a bottle of water, a cool towel or anything else. Any help from spectators can disqualify (取消资格)an athlete.3. Again, if a cyclist or runner falls, do not rush over to help.

A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply(乘) a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits(数位). It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits.The heart of an electronic computer lies in its transistors. Its electronic circuits(电路) work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions--it must be programmed.Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes--they can be used to prepare payrolls, guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even to play chess.

(Hawaii was the fiftieth state to join the Union.) Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states in the U.S.It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson’s Secretary of State, Seward, bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of $ 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to have no importance in times of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ring of fire.”In Alaska, large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year round. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Seward’s Folly”at that time.However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon, people changed their thinking about “Seward ‘s Folly”.But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that the northern land discloses to them. For instance, there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska, the sun does not set for 82 days every year.64. Why was Alaska called Russian America?A)Because the Russians sold it to the United StatesB)Because it joined the U.S. as the forty-ninth stateC)Because it is the largest state in the U.S.D)Because it is the fiftieth state to join the Union.65. When did Seward buy Alaska from the Russians?A)in 1959B)in 1867C)in 1896D)in 198266. Why was the buying of Alaska called “Seward’s Folly”?A)Because Seward paid $ 7.2 million to buy such a useless huge northern land mass.B)Because Alaska lies on a treeless areas covered with snow.C)Because the purchase of Alaska by Seward then seemed as something foolishly done.D)Because there are volcanoes and “ring of fire”in Alaska.67. Why did people change their thinking about such a “foolish bargain”?A)Because gold and natural resources were found in Alaska.B)Because people poured into Alaska to make fortune.C)Because President Johnson’s Secretary of State bought Alaska.D)Because oil, volcanoes and snow there are found most valuable.68. Tourists go to Alaska_____.A)to see those 11,000 islands in AlaskaB)to see the unsetting sun for 82 daysC)to see the snow on the northern landD)to see the endless beauty of naturePassage FourAs an overseas student, I have to study very hard every day. I have free time only on weekends, when I can do shopping and wash clothes, and manage to go to a party with friends occasionally.Once invited to a party, I stayed near the wall and drank beer and tried to talk to the womannext to me and asked her to dance.

I didn’t understand itvery well, so she explained it to me. She seemed pretty quiet, though, and I realized that she hadbeen thinking of her boy friend all that time.After that, I became very careful with my dates with American girls.

Following the rules…planning your next move . . . acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .Many children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them forwork they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the eventwave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earnedit. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People onall continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor childrenwith not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed,and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.16.

A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country. B. It proves the exceptionalskills of the winners. C. It helps the country out of natural disasters. D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.19. Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______. A. bring funto poor kids . B. provide soccer balls forchildren C. give poor kids a chance for abetter life[ks5u. com.

C.People are advised to play games for fun. D.Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.Passage ThreeIn what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there wasa quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today,less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in businessand in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tendto be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behaveas if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.21.What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers?C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.22. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_____A. lead us into the post-war eraB. be quite widespreadC. take controlD. take over routine tasks23. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_____A. be reasonably skeptical abort themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purposes only24.An “internal computer” is_____A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable25.The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_____A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. malfunctioningPassage FourSeveral recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two whiteroommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing."One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration.""I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural confrontations."The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.26. What can we learn from some recent studies?A)Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.B)Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.C)Interracial lodging does more harm than good.D)Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.27. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?A)White students tend to look down upon their black peers.B)Black students can compete with their white peers academically.C)Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.D)Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.28. What does the Indiana University study show?A)Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.B)Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.C)Roommates of different races just don't get along.D)Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.29. What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?A)Students of different races are required to share a room.B)Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.C)Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.D)The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.30. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?A. It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.B. Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.C. Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.D. Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section .For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B , C and D .Choose the one that best completes the sentence.

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generousheart that I sent him this letter.Dear son,I want to thank you for teaching me a very 51 lesson in life by the great example you set.

I asked the money collector, “How much 56 is he?”She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car but he h ad been looking at the wrong gauge and had put in 15 57, which came to just over $20. That is an easy mistak58both gauges run fast.Something made me think of you and what you did that night at the caféin Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 59and said, “But why would you do th is for me?”I just smiled as I thought of you.Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s better to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 60and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.Love always, Mum51.

Also, only children never have the opportunity to put the blame on a brother or sister for something they’ve done wrong. Third, only children miss the companionship of brothers and sisters. They can be lonely, and they may have trouble making friends later in life because they have never learned to get along with a brother or sister.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of theworld’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,”Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.”For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,”please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .41. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “Last Great Places” is to _________.[A] gain support from the local community[B] protect it from irresponsible development[C] make it a better home for black bears[D] provide financial security for future generations42. We learn from the passage that _________.[A] the population in the Pocono area is growing[B] wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidly[C] the security of the Pocono residents is being threatened[D] farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast43. What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook?[A] The setting up of an environmental protection website.[B] Support from organizations like The Nature Conservancy.[C] Cooperation with the local residents and business leaders.[D] Inclusion of farmlands in the region’s p rotection program.44. What does Bud Cook mean by “having a local presence” (Line 1, Para. 5)?[A] Financial contributions from local business leaders.[B] Consideration of the interests of the local residents.[C] The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the area.[D] The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area.45. The passage most probably is __________.[A] an official document [B] a news story[C] an advertisement [D] a research reportPassage 2In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come work and live here? In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.On Dec. 11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”—raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification (身份证明). In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America. Authorities said the undocumented workers’illegal status made them open to blackmail (讹诈) by terrorists.Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. “We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you’re disposable. There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said.If Sept. 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely. Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation (驱逐出境). Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s.46.According to the author, the United States claims to be a nation __________.[A] composed of people having different values[B] encouraging individual pursuits[C] sharing common interests[D] founded on shared ideals47. How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?[A] Guilty. [B] Offended. [C] Disappointed. [D] Discouraged48. Undocumented workers became the target of “Operation Safe Travel” because ________.[A] evidence was found that they were potential terrorists[B] most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorists[C] terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status[D] they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport49. By saying “... we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are” (Line 2, Para. 4), Mayor Anderson mean s “________”.[A] we will turn a blind eye to your illegal status[B] we will examine the laws in a different way[C] there are other ways of enforcing the law[D] the existing laws must not be ignored50. What do we learn about Ana Castro from the last paragraph?[A] She will be deported sooner or later.[B] She is allowed to stay permanently.[C] Her case has been dropped.[D] Her fate remains uncertainPassage 3The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched(草盖的)roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lines with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英论诸岛. Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.Thatching is a solitary(独自的)craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced toady has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.51. Which of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside?[A] Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.[B] Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.[C] Cottages with thatched roofs.[D] churches with cottages around them.52. What do we know about thatching as a craft?[A] It is a collective activity.[B] It is practised on farms all over England.[C] It is quite different from what it used to be.[D] It is in most cases handed down among family members53. Thatched houses are still preferred because of _________.[A] their style and comfort [B] their durability[C] their easy maintenance [D] their cheap and ready-made materials54. People in developing countries also live under thatch because _________.[A] thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction[B] thatched roof houses are the cheapest[C] thatch is an effective defense against the heat[D] they like thatched houses better than other buildings55. We can learn from the passage that _________.[A] thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times[B] thatching is a building craft first created by the English people[C] the English people have a special liking for thatched houses[D] most thatched cottages in England are located on hillsidesIV.

Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways.
