20、共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分;满分45分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather tog
21、ether to socialize and exchange news.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest p
22、ub in England.However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at a
23、n affordable price.Thats how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that ma
24、y also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more dr
25、unk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the mark
26、et. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Mens Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.46. The passage mai
27、nly tells us something about A. the past and present of British pubs B. the decline of British pubsC. the long history of British pubs D. the importance of British pubs47. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?A. The credit crunch. B. The present closing time. C. The ban of smoki
28、ng. D. Having no spare money.48. We can infer from the passage that A. British people used to like drinking slowly B. closing the pubs early will reduce social problems C. binge drinking means drinking less beer D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking49. We can see from t
29、he last paragraph that the author _ A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs B. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems D. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you needBOne of our biggest fear
30、s nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and hum
31、an health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play.Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural lan
32、dscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That
33、 applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academical
34、ly in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three year old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadsid
35、e can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.Kids are not to blame. They are over protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage.Everyone from dev
36、elopers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增强）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This c
37、ould yet be our greatest cause.50. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that_.A. we are the last generation to experience nature.B. the author of Last Child in the Woods dont defend parks against encroachmentC. without having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of thei
38、r livesD. children should grow up to be protectors of nature51. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will .A. keep a high sense of wonderB. be over protected by their parentsC. be less healthy both physically and mentallyD. change wild places and creatures for the better52.
39、 According to the author, childrens breaking an arm is .A. the fault on the part of their parentsB. the natural experience in their growing upC. the result of their own carelessness in playD. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers53. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends t
40、o .A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachmentC. show his concern about childrens lack of experience in natureD. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things aroundCTerraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known a
41、s planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to
42、even decide if its a good idea?Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been r
43、aised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was inter
44、ested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars.There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, its an exciting idea of a possible future for human be
45、ings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intellig
46、ence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (异己的) civilizations on other planets.Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets t
47、o make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.54. According to the context, whats the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?A. The act of discussing something with a group of people.B. The act of studying and researching.C. The act of guessing without knowing
48、all the facts about something.D. The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.55. Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?A. They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.B. They gradually came to find the idea crazy.C. They thought the idea would
49、 never come true.D. They had few resources for further study on this topic.56. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?A. Even if we dont succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understand technologies such as climate and weather control.B. Such study may explo
50、re a new direction of development for human beings.C. Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.D. As the resources on Earth are being drained, its very urgent to study how to migrate (迁移) to other planets.57. Whats the main idea of the article?A. Its highly possible that terraform
51、ing other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program.B. Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have many reasons to support such studies. C. Terraforming other planets is the best option for human beings future. D. More and more p
52、eople are taking planetary engineering as their occupation. DLife gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesnt matter where you live-in the middle of a modern city or a faraway village-the chances are that youll be disturbed by jet planes, tran
53、sistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while theyre working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening t
54、o pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums (耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concent
55、ration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesnt change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.58. According to this passage, the noise pollution_. A. has become the worst
56、in the countryside B. has become better in big citiesC. has spread from cities to villages D. has been controlled in modern cities59. What does background music refer to?A. Music played while people are working. B. Music played in the backyard.C. Noise that continues while youre listening to other n
57、oises.D. Music used to help people to concentrate.60. Some people have their hearing harmed_A. while listening to pop music B. in complete silenceC. when speaking loudly D. while watching TV第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。A.

You may have goals of losing weight, dreaming of pursuing a passion or interest, plans of achieving success in your career and relationships, but without
59、positive motivation, all these remain goals, plans and dreams if you are notmotivated to achieve them and make them into reality. Positive thoughts playa major role in your outlook in life and in giving you the motivation to reachfor you dreams. If you are optimistic that you can do the task at hand
60、, or youcan reach your goals, you will be motivated to take those steps towards achieving it.62. Whether it is natures beauty, or great relationships from friends and family, being able to find inspiration has a positive impact in getting yourself motivated to do what you want to achieve and live a
61、better life, so strive to make friends and keep a happy relationship with your family.63. One of the things that can contribute to lack of motivation is doing the same things every day and getting stuck into it without knowing where you are heading. Sometimes you have to explore other opportunities,
62、 learn new skills and explore other interests. Do not be afraid to take risks, explore new ways of achieving your goals and get out of your comfort zone at times to discover new things around you and take advantage of new opportunities in life.64. A tired and stressed body most often leads to lack o
63、f motivation to do what you want to do. Have a regular exercise. This will not only make you become stronger physically but will also lift up your mood to tackle (处理)lifes challenges each day.65. Most often, we feel mostly motivated if there is a need to do it. Finding the reason why you live your l
64、ife each day will truly make everything easy and help you get motivated. Dedicating(致力于) your efforts to someone you love and treasure is also a good motivation that you can give yourself.
