But there’s just so much going on, the theaters, restaurants, shops and museums. They make London and Paris like country towns.

It took my twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I have parked the car, I rushed into the bank.

But during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City. Bikila was really strong as he began the marathon. But at the third of the way into the race he suddenly dropped out. He’d been suffering from a pain in his left leg a nd could run no more. Mamo Wolde, another Ethiopian runner saw Bikila drop out and immediately poured on the speed as if he was filling his fallen teammate's shoes. Wolde gave Ethiopia its third marathon victory. But the drama of this marathon did not end when Wolde crossed the finishing line. A little more than an hour later, word was passed to the remaining audience that the last runner of marathon was arriving. Into the stadium, came Akhwari of Tanzania, his leg was bloody and bandaged. Moving with pain at every step, he pressed on and finally got passed the finishing line. The crowd cheered as if this last runner had been the winner.4.M: Hey, Lucy.

What about with Claudia?W: Uh, you can call her Claudia, shake hands and why don’t you take her some flowers? 5.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfe ct system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.6.W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is.

To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams. Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy.To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.6、湖南卷(Text 1)M: How much do I need to pay?W: Let me see.

window,matching my mood.I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true.Throughout the day,rumors warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off(裁员).I was the newest one in the training department.My boss appeared.“You probably know we’re cutting back,”he said.“Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs,showing them how to act in an interview,for example.”“Fine,”I answered unwillingly,not knowing what else to say.I decided to go home early that day.In the hall,I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday.She was a little woman with gray hair.Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart(小车)loaded with cleaning supplies.At least she had a job!At the final meeting,laid-off workers formed a line at the door.A colleague whispered,“I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off.We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.”When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off I was than this poor woman.I decided to do something for her.I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job.A few days later,my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position.On the same day,I received a letter,which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice.“An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work…”4.How did the

interview.7.What does the story tell us?A.Good deeds have their rewards.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.Little people can make a big difference.D.Love brings more joy to people than workdoes.CThrowing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the world.While some of us throw away unwanted items,people in other parts of the world face food shortages and are starving.It’s a shocking fact that a third of the world’s food is wasted each year,which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supermarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food.After all,they do desert stuff that is past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell fruits or vegetables that are in the wrong shape or look damaged.They’ve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as“buy one and get one free”.But the biggest culprit for creating food waste is us human beings.In Europe,an incredible53% of food waste comes from households,which results in88million tons of food waste a year.So instead of filling our bellies,our food is filling up landfill sites.In Denmark,a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem.She moved from Russia many years ago and was amazed to see the abundance of food available in the supermarkets.But despite so much availability,she found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away.She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in bulk(大量)so that people bought only what they needed.She produced a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped create a significant25%reduction in food waste.Clearly,we need to think twice when we buy something in supermarkets or online,and when we’re at home we should make the most of the food we have-using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our remaining food with our friends and neighbors.8．Why are supermarkets to blame for food waste?A．They store stuff that is past its sell-by-dateB．They sell fruits or vegetables in the wrong shapeC．They always display new items.D．They hold sales promotion.9．What does the underlined word“culprit”in paragraph3probably mean?A．Benefit.B．Demand.C．Cause.D．Challenge.10．What do we know about Selina Juul?A．She contributed to reducing food waste.B．She made an extraordinary discovery. C．She was a pioneer in cooking leftovers.D．She focused on the availability of food. 11．What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A．Switch to online shopping.B．Start sharing extra food.C．Increase the varieties of food.D．Improve our cooking methods.DNot only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet,it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water.Only23%of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin,meaning over $1billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.Recently,Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.It is a convenient,clear water bottle that can either be drunken or eaten.To drink it,you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜)or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth.To eat it,you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth.One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship large amounts of Ooho bubbles(水泡)without arriving with a very wet truck. However,they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane.It is targeting large outdoor events,such as marathons,music festivals,and sporting events,where tons of plastic bottles are used,and frequently left behind as litter.And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment,which could account for their purpose of such a new invention.The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho;they have recently applied a patent for their new advancements.The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet,but they cost about two cents to create a unit,which is cheaper than plastic bottles.It has appeared at events in London,San Francisco,Boston, at conferences,festivals,and so on.Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over$1million and gained1,000 investors in only three days.It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer’s interest while the production machine is getting up and running.It is quickly making a rise,so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.12.How is most plastic dealt with in America?A.It’s sold.B.It’s recycled.C.It’s buried.D.It’s wasted.13.Why did the team invent Ooho?A.To make a profit for a company.B.To protect the environtnent.C.To make people eat as they drink.D.To reduce the cost of plastic bottle.14.What can we infer about Ooho from the text?A.It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts.B.It has become popular since it began to be sold.C.It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles.D.It cost the team a lot of money to develop the technology.15.What does the author really want to say in the last paragraph?A.Ooho is to be a success in the future.B.Ooho is being supported by smart people.C.Ooho is taking the place of plastic bottles now.D.Ooho is being produced to attract more investors.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.56. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm.B. Moving to the countryside.C. Leaving home for the city.D. Running away from the school.57. Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He is very old now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He lives in the city now.58.

Atlantic City Beach Office.C. 368 Cooper Square, New York, NYD. 866 United, New York, NY 10017.61. What does a person need most to be the one-hour weekday job?A. He should he cheerful, dependable, and easy-going.B. He has to work from Monday to Friday.C. He can remain calm in a difficult situation.D. He can welcome guests and deal with phone calls.62.

To swim soon after lunch.63. The best title for the last piece of information would be_________.A. Tips on Showing Interest in a JobB. Stops to a Successful InterviewC. Advice on Introducing Yourself PolitelyD. of Body Language in an InterviewCPeople believes that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill ofclimbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is an your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.64. What can we infer from the passage?A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.B. It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.65. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is _______.A. to tie ropes to yourB. to control your fearC. to move away from the wallD. to climb straight up66. The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means _________.A. settlementB. exerciseC. excitementD. tiredness67. Why does the author write this passage?A. To tell people where to find gyms.B. To prove the basic need for climbingC. To encourage people to climb mountains.D. introduce the sport of wall climbingDSome people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.68. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledgeB. cinemas are the best choice in getting informationC. reading is a cheap way of learning and having funD. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself69. What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ”underlined in the second paragraph suggest?A. People only need reading, though.B. Reading is still necessary today.C. Reading is more fun than television.D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.70. What can we learn from the passage?A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.D. More people like TV programs about famous men.EThe small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan. which means Double Income Kids(小孩).In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a ****** is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedrooms, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What’s more, if they want to have a child, the child’s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5.000 a year. In such a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to contimue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.72. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A. The small number of newborn babies.B. The changing social situation of women.C. The high prices of houses and education.D.
