We are aware that the storms th
2、at hit Lyndon last summer caused a great amount of damage, and the citys budget should first be used to repair the high school, city hall, and airport. Dont you realize, however, what a loss the park will be? Center Park is the best place in the city for sports, picnics, concerts, walking, and enjoy
3、ing nature. It plays a vital role in the education of our children. Each year science teachers bring their classes to the park on field trips to study plants and animals. Small children use the playground equipment every day. There are no other parks nearby for these kids to enjoy themselves. Every
4、day I see the park on my way to school. It is absolutely necessary to support Center Park. The Lyndon High School Ice Skating Club would like to offer the city some help. We are suggesting a Skatathon. Our members would ask family, friends, and businesses for help, and then skate all day. For every
5、mile skated, we would raise money to be used to maintain the fields and rink. Also, some of our members are willing to help the park staff do simple repairs at the rink. While it appears that the city can no longer afford Center Park, other facts tell us we have to maintain this park as a place for
6、the entire Lyndon community (社区). It is a green, refreshing place to go in the middle of the city.

9、atulationsB I am David Krakowski, a research scientist. Recently I spent three months studying sea life at Palmer Station, the U.S. research station 20 miles west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Because the weather outside was very cold and windy, I wore special clothing from the U.S. Antarctic Program.
10、 Anytime I was near the water, I wore a bright-orange float-coat that worked as a life preserver. The divers wore even more warm layers (层) and a watertight dry suit to protect them from the icy water. Inside the station, I worked in the indoor aquarium (水族馆) and the laboratories. Palmer Station was
11、 kept well heated, so there was nothing special about what I wore. You might think that the food at a polar station would be gross. Youd be wrong. We had two cooks who made delicious meals every day. At Palmer Station, fresh water was precious. Melting glacier ice for water used a lot of fuel, so we
12、 purified the salty seawater. On weekends, we hiked or skied on the glacier behind the station or took short boat trips. To be able to explore, everyone first went to Survival School. When we were on the glacier, we stayed on marked paths to avoid falling into deep cracks (裂缝) in the ice hidden by s
13、now. On boat trips, we avoided dangerous icebergs. We were careful not to disturb any animals, because there are strict rules to protect them. A few times, penguins and seals visited us at the station, though. After a long day of work, everyone ate dinner together in the cafeteria. Then, Id head for
14、 the game room. We watched movies on a big-screen TV, played computer games, and even had parties. No TV or radio stations come into Antarctica, so we communicated with the outside world using e-mail. Because I woke every day at 7:00 am, I was exhausted by 11:00 pm. You need a good nights sleep to b

18、Cycling to school or work is now faster and more efficient (高效的) than any other types of transport in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The city has gone all out to encourage its cyclists it has laid out more than 1,000 km of cycle lanes (车道), and improved traffic signals at the crossroads. No won
19、der Copenhagens cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the citys main streets are closed to cars and instead have only cycle lanes and cycle parking areas. Bike lanes along the major roads are wide and slightly raised. Copenhagen is developing 38 bike superhighways along the main city route
20、s. The citys light rail system has recently permitted cyclists to bring their cycles on board, and it is free of charge. The city planners are absolutely committed to make cyclists feel safe. So when cyclists approach a major crossroads, sensors (传感器) a little way down the streets tell the traffic l
21、ights to give them a “green” signal, which means cyclists are rarely held up by traffic. It is simply a smooth continuous journey from home to school! Even in the bitterly cold winters, the cycle lanes are cleared of snow before car lanes. Lately, however, the government is facing a new and curious
22、problem. Many cyclists have now started leaving their cycles just about anywhere. Often, the biggest challenge faced by cyclists is getting their bike out of these huge piles without getting chain oil onto themselves. Perhaps the solution lies in turning more car parking spaces into cycle parking ar
23、eas, or else, building multi-story or underground parking spaces for cycles. Meanwhile, other urban cities are following this capital citys example. London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Beijing and many others are all adopting measures to encourage cyclists, inspired by the City of Cyclists.30. C
24、openhagen is putting in a great deal of effort to make it _.A. more beautiful B. less crowdedC. environment-friendly D. tourist-friendly31.

There is a strong need to set up more parking spaces for cycles.C. Cycling to school or work is very popular everywhere in Denmark.D. Strict traffic rules sh
26、ould be made to guarantee the safety of cyclists.D Horses had been running wild in the Americas for thousands of years, until they went extinct. Modern horses, as we know them, came to America in around 1519 AD with the Spanish settlers led by Hernn Cortz. Over time, some developed into the domestic
27、ated (驯养的) horse. However, America has preserved many of these wild horses that came from their Spanish ancestors (祖先). There has been debate about the future of wild horse populations in America. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says that there are about 33,780 wild horses throughout 10 sta
28、tes in the western part of the U.S. These wild horses have no natural enemies and are under federal protection, so their population size can double every four years. This does lead to problems. For many years, wild horses that came too close to cattle or sheep on public grazing lands (牧场) were caugh
29、t or killed. Then a national campaign encouraged states and the federal government to protect the animals as a symbol of the American West. In 1971, a law was passed to allow only agents of the BLM to gather the horses as part of their work in preserving federal lands. Most people (scientists includ
30、ed) believe that wild horse populations need to become a lot smaller. The BLM, which keeps track of wild horses, suggests that we have about 14,000 more horses than can exist in balance with the ecosystems that they live in. This causes a huge problem that has to be dealt with both environmentally a
31、nd politically. A solution needs to be found not only to preserve the species but to also keep its population under control. And then, politically this needs to be done in some way. Some things have already been done to try to get the number of wild horses down, which include adoption of wild horses
32、 and the practice of giving vaccines (疫苗) to the female horses to make them unable to reproduce.33. What was the main reason people caught or killed wild horses?A. To make money. B. To get pleasure.C. To control their numbers. D. To protect domestic animals.34. According to the BLM, _. A. it is impo
33、ssible to keep track of wild horses B. it is wrong to give vaccines to the female horsesC. the number of wild horses should be brought down to about 19,780D. the symbol of the American West doesnt have to be wild horses35. In the text, the author mainly talks about _.A. the Bureau of Land Management
34、B. Americas wild horse problemC. life in the American WestD. native horses in America第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for taking care of friendships Some people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.

69、话“过于礼貌”而被人误解的经历。41. A。总览全文可知，这里是说他们说的没“错（wrong）”。42. D。由上文的everyone advised me to say“yes”to everything可知，I dont mind这样的说法好像不是能够接受的“答案（answer）”。43. C。上文提到的两种说法都不好，那么就“只有（just）”“是”和“不”了。44. A。45. B。由第一段中的回答方式可知，作者的回答方式让德国人感到态度不明确，因此会看着作者，觉得作者“好像（as if）”无法做出“决定（decision）”。46. D。下文提到的早餐一事说明作者刚刚“到达（reac
70、hed）”旅馆。47. B。作者住在旅馆，所以询问早餐时间的应该是旅馆的“主人（owner）”。48. C。对于旅馆主人的询问，作者说任何最方便的时候都可以，故填easiest。49. A。作者给出的回答并不明确，所以旅馆主人的脸上露出了“疑惑的（confused）”表情。50.

B。当餐馆里的服务员“提供（offer）”服务的时候。57. C。作者的语言表达方式在英国显然是可以的，但在德国或者其它地方则“没有必要（unnecessary）”。58. A。由下文的Would you be able to
72、do that for me if its not too much trouble, please?可知，此处指作者“问（asking）”问题。59. B。在英国作者的表达方式很委婉，但在德国你就需要“直截了当（direct）”。60.
