When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s farm in Kansas. On a Sunny morning, Grandpa sent me into the 21 to gather pecans(山核桃) for us to enjoy later.

Pecan picking was really 22 work and my little basket was only half full. I got a little worried for I didn’t want to let Grandpa down. Just then something caught my 23 . A large brown squirrel(松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he found a pecan, hurried to a tree and 24 in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel 25 out and climbed down to the ground to 26 up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.

Not so 27 any more, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was 28 with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my 29 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so 30 of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pscans.31 , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, w ell, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d 32 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing t he squirrel and his habitats. Then he did something that 33 me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently 34 my shoulders.

“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter 35 of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are g one, don’t you think that little squirrel will 36 the cold winter?”

“I didn’t think about that,” I said.

“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take 37 of someone else’s hard work.”

Suddenly I felt a bit 38 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn`t 39 my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling——the 40 of knowing I had done just the right thing.

Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously(匿名地).

But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath’s many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced(增强) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen’s time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.

The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.

You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen’s Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.

Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, came up with something different to celebrate winning the title of the World Book Capital 2011, a UNESCO award.

It built a 25-meter-tall tower meant to pay honor to the written word. Called the “Tower of Babel”, it’s made up of 30,000 book in languages from all over the world.

“I don’t know why we have to have different languages,” said creator Marta Minujin, Argentina`s most famous artist. She explained the idea of this tower is “to unify all races throughout the book and remember the mythical(神话中的) Tower of Babel, dating back over 4,000 years”.

It is said that in ancient times, the people of the Earth all spoke one language. With good communication and understanding among them, they decided to build a city with a tower that would reach he aven, known as “The Tower of Babel”. They wanted to make a name for themselves and also prevent their city from being scattered(分散). But when God saw this, he sens ed the great power within people’s unity.

For this reason he took on the people’s language, ma king them speak different languages so they would not understand each other. He also scattered people all over the face of the Earth. The Tower of Babel was left unfinished.

The structure in Buenos Aires will be taken apart on July 28, But it will have a lasting effect ——the books will form the basis of the first multilingual (使用多种语言的) library in Buenos Aires.

49. Which is NOT the reason why Marta Minujin built the “Tower of Babel” in Buenos Aires?

A. To celebrate winning the title of the World Book Capital 2011.

B. To show respect to the written word.

C. To remember the mythical Tower of Bable.

D. To make a name for themselves.

50. Why did God make people speak different languages according to the article?

A. He hoped that people would understand each other better.

B. He expected people go to heaven.

C. He wanted people to finish the tower quickly.

D. He realized that people became powerful after they united.

51. What will happen to “the Tower of Babel” in Buenos Aires?

A. It’ll become part of a library.

B. It’ll help people reach heaven.

C. It’ll be left unfinished.

D. It’ll be pulled down.

D

If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives, and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do ——as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from the Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is how it will happen in future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read??say, sports and international news. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresee that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

52. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Best Way to Get News

B. The Changes of Media

C. Make Your Own Newspaper

D. The Future of Newspaper

53. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.

A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer

C. newspapers will cover more scientific research

D. more and more people will watch TV

54. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

A. Sports and international news.

B. A menu of all the news.

C. The most important news.

D. What you are interested in.

55. From the passage, we can infer _______.

A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media

B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media

C. television will take the place of newspaper

D. the writer believes some media will die out

第二卷（三部分，共30分）

第一部分：阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。请将答案写在答卷上。

The following people are expressing their thoughts to show their concern for food, environment and so on. After that are pieces of related information(A-F). Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions 56~60 and mark your answer letter(A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

_______56. How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But

everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away(腐烂).

_______57. More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

_______58. Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.

_______59. I’m very much fond of growing some vegetable s of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as because of widespread pesticides.

_______60. Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. ”The food is free of pesticides(农药) , and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tastier.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are depending on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

B Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear

reasons for their preferences, but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, “said Sur Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

C Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and

lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have led to the pollution problem.

One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D However, today, more and more consum ers are choosing” green” and demanding that the

products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “ Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once? “

E Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there

are hundreds, Some supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

F The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do

business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “ Buy it, use it, t hrow it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and slowly business is cleaning up its act.
