2、go, were always part of the permanent landscape. A delicate fireworks display recently celebrated the bridges 75th anniversary, but you can still celebrate on a smaller scale and catch a lot more. Try shopping for some anniversary souvenir, joining in a guided tour, or simply going for a walk across
3、 the 1.7-mile-wide bridge.Beyond the bridge, the beloved City by the Bay is still appealing with secret San Francisco musts to keep the celebration going. Here are a few more: Bourbon and BranchThis Prohibition-style “private” saloon requires a password to enter. Dark, intimate and decorated faithfu
4、lly like the 1920s, this is the ideal spot for business dealings. Cell phones are prohibited, which only adds to the authentic atmosphere. House of AirA favorite among locals and tourists, this activity center has dozens of trampolines (蹦床) to jump on, trampoline walls to bounce off. Space is rented
5、 by how much time you want to bounce about, but be cautious about overdoing it; jumping around for even 10 minutes is exhausting!Nightlife at California Academy of ScienceFor anyone who wished that film “Night at the Museum” could be real, every Thursday night the California Academy of Science offer
6、s a simulated (模拟的) rainforest and aquarium, all under the same roof. Theres also live music, several bars and a different theme every week. Musee MecaniqueIt may be called a museum. Its full of wind-up toys, dancing puppets, shooting galleries and vintage arcade games. Some of the exhibits may seem
7、 frightening, but this is a unique trip back into the history of how we have fun. Bringa pocket full of coins.21Which event was recently held to celebrate the bridges birthday?AA fireworks display.BA walk across the bridge.CA guided tour around it.DA special offer on souvenirs.22Which of the followi

9、 business partners.BThis week record-breaking temperatures of more than 40C were forecast in Britain. Schools closed and hospitals cancelled routine appointments. The Royal Air Force had to rearrange flights from its biggest air base after the runway melted. In mainland Europe, things were bleaker s
10、till. After weeks of drought, a heatwave sparked wildfires in France, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Parts of America are struggling through one of their hottest summers ever. And many places of eastern and southern China have seen unusually high temperatures in recent weeks.Why are all of these places
11、 suffering extreme heat at the same time? Climate change has made heatwaves more frequent. Very hot temperatures that were once rare occur more frequently and heatwaves that were once impossible come to pass. The temperatures in Britain this week fit into the second category(II),says Richard Betts,
12、a climate researcher with the British Met Office. Similarly, modelling carried out by the World Weather Attribution group, a research coalition, found that last years unprecedented heatwave in the Pacific Northwest would have been ”virtually impossible“ without climate change. New records will be se
13、t as long as humans continue to burn fossil fuels and destroy carbon-storing ecosystems.Whatever the cause, the consequences are disastrous. Heatwaves kill people and worsen existing health conditions. Heatwaves can cause crops to suffer, as happened this spring in India. In three northern states, y
14、ields probably fell by between 10%-35%. If several “breadbasket” arc as are affected there will be worldwide shortages, pushing up prices. Other systems are at risk, too. Heat can disrupt everything from manufacturing to transport. Last weak factories in Zhejiang province in China were forced to rat
15、ion(定量供应)power to ensure enough supply for air-conditioners in nearby homes. Heatwaves often stretch energy grids(电网)to breaking point. In places where electricity is moved across borders, a stream of power from somewhere not affected can help stabilize the grid. But simultaneous(同时的)heatwaves make
16、that complicated. In an interconnected world，regions rely on each other to cope with disaster. Which becomes much harder when the disasters arc happening in many places at once.24What is the first paragraph mainly about?AExtreme heat breaks out across the globe.BThe new temperature record has been s
17、et in some areas.CNatural disasters are increasing due to the extreme heat.DMany places arc actively fighting against extreme heat.25What can we learn from paragraph 2?AThere used to be frequent heatwaves and high temperatures.BThe British feel more comfortable when the temperature is II.COne of the
18、 critical factors in extreme heat is human activities.DIt is impossible to experience extreme heat in Pacific Northwest.26What problem would heatwaves cause globally according to the last paragraph?ALow birth rate.BHigh crop price.CLess factoriesDGlobal warming.27What does the underlined pronoun “th
19、at” refer to in the last paragraph?AStretching energy grids.BRationing power in factories.CGenerating power.DMoving electricity across borders.CIn 1823, a young woman noticed a strange fossil on a beach near Lyme Regis, England. She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home. She carefully a
20、rranged the skeleton on a table. Then she saw something extraordinary. The creatures neck was a meter long more than half the length of its body. It was unlike any animal living on Earth.Even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting unusual or curious fossils. Her father died in 1810, l
21、eaving her family in debt, so Mary began selling her fossils to collectors. A year later, aged just 12, she made her first major discovery a crocodile-like skull with a long skeleton. It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago. Named ichthyosaur, or “fish-lizard”, it was the first extinc
22、t animal known to science.Fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous occupation. One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary. Despite the dangers, she continued to look for new finds. The long-necked fossil she uncovered in 1823 was another long-dead sea reptile (爬行动物). K
23、nown as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends including that of the Loch Ness Monster. Five years later, she found a fossil with wing bones and a long tail. It was one of the first examples of a pterosaur a flying creature that disappeared millions of years ago.Mary was not only a skilled fossil hu
24、nter; she also carefully examined and recorded her finds. However, she received little credit from other scientists. Only one of her scientific writings was published in her lifetime, in 1839. She was also not allowed to join Londons Geological Society, as only men could become members.Mary Anning d
25、ied in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten. Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris. The beach near her home is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the Jurassic Coast. Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders. According to B
26、ritains Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was “the greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known”. She was also a scientist who changed the way we think about life on Earth.28Why did Mary Anning start selling fossils?ATo establish her name as a scientist.BTo raise public interest in her articles
27、.CTo gain money to start a museum.DTo earn money to support her family.29Which of the following is true about Mary Anning?AShe published several scientific articles in her lifetime.BShe was nearly killed by a rock fall near the beach.CShe was a member of the London Geological Society.DThe beach near
28、 her home is named after her.30What is true about the pterosaur find?AIt looked similar to the Loch Ness Monster.BIt was the first discovery of an extinct animal.CIt showed that some extinct creatures had wings.DIt demonstrated that Mary Anning was an expert in fossil finds.31What would be the prope
29、r title for the passage?ALong-Necked Creatures from the PastBThe Worlds Greatest Fossil HunterCThe Discovery of the First PterosaurDTreasure of FossilsDEarlier this month, British supermarket chain Morrisons announced that it would be removing “use by” dates on most of its milk. The idea behind this
30、 is to discourage people from throwing milk away based on a date, rather than sniffing (闻) and looking at it to determine whether its still safe for consumption.The fact is that significant amounts of food get wasted every year by people blindly following expiration dates, rather than their senses.
31、What makes matters worse is that most dates dont mean much, anyway. Theyre assigned somewhat randomly by food manufacturers that are not held to any regulatory standards for what determines a safe date nor what expertise (专门知识) is required to make such a judgment callso it makes sense that theyd be
32、too cautious.What I find amusing, however, is that many people seem to be horrified by this approaching absence of “use by” dates.In fact, I never look at expiration dates when I shop. To me, its as if they dont exist. To be clear, I am not an absent-minded shopper. I pay close attention to both pac
33、kaging and price. Despite having a full cart at checkout, I could tell you the exact price of every item in it. Any time I see a clearance rack (清仓货架) at the store, thats usually where I go first because its exactly the stuff I want to buythe cheaper, the better! If theres any heavily discounted pro
34、duct that Id normally use, I will certainly take it. Often, Ill mentally adjust my weekly menu plan on the spot, based on what I find.The handful of times I have looked at expiration dates have been for short-lived items like prepackaged salad greens. What Ive found, however, is that the dates mean
35、little. Even a package that claims to be fresh can still have rotten yellow leaves at the bottom, which turns me off. Therefore, the expiration date means next to nothing, but my visual assessment, combined with my intention for when I plan to eat it, is far more useful.Food is your friend. Food is
36、not out to kill you!32Why will Morrisons remove “use by” dates on most of its milk?ATo reduce food waste.BTo improve customers senses.CTo meet the regulatory standards.DTo be cautious about food quality.33What do we know about the authors shopping habit from the text?AShe shows little interest in pa
37、ckaging.BShe cares more about the price.CShe always avoids buying discounted products.DShe is often careless about choosing goods.34Why does the author give the example of “prepackaged salad greens”?ATo claim her favorite food.BTo introduce her cooking habit.CTo stress the uselessness of expiration
38、dates.DTo show the poor packaging of some food.35What is the best title for the text?AWhat Makes Us Waste More FoodBWhy We Need “Use By” DatesCHow I Choose Food for CookingDWhy I Ignore Food Expiration Dates第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。For many years, public scho
39、ols taught only Euro-American cultural values and neutralized or ignored other cultural heritages. Textbooks minimized problems among groups and taught a sanitized version of history. It was assumed that everyone in the American melting pot would eventually lose or abandon those ethnic characteristi
40、cs that distinguished them from mainstream Americans._36_Current textbooks absorb a variety of ethnic individuals who have achieved success. Struggles for equality are vividly depicted, and past racism is frankly acknowledged. Cultural pluralism(多元性)is now generally recognized as the organizing prin
41、ciple of education, and children in American schools learn that variety and cultural diversity are assets(资产). _37_ Elementary school students learn not only about the traditional Thanksgiving celebration in the United States, but also about other harvest holidays around the world. They learn that A
42、frican tribal farmers observe harvest festivals to thank their ancestors for keeping them well and sending rain. The moons birthday is the start of the Chinese harvest festival called Chung Chui, in which the Chinese give thanks and remember a victory over an invading army. In India, Hindu women hon
43、or Gauri, the goddess of the harvest and the protector of women. _38_Koreans offer prayers for good harvests on Tano Day, and in Switzerland and Sweden, children carry lanterns made from vegetables to celebrate their harvest holiday. Middle School and high schools include literature from around the
44、world offering alternative perspectives on social problems and significant historical events. Ethnic studies departments can be found in high schools and colleges. _39_There is some evidence that attempts at multicultural education are working. In the United States, for example, graduation rates are
45、 up. The share of high school students taking a core of academic subjects increased from 13 percent to 47 percent in the past decade. The gap between whites and minorities test scores has narrowed. These accomplishments may well be attributed to educators who daily confront diversity in their classr

My kids were twelve and nine years old, and I wanted them to have the experience of growing their own food. On a warm day
61、, I took my power drill out and began to work. After about half an hour, I almost had the whole thing done. I was just leaning over to aim the tip of the screwdriver (螺丝刀) at the “X” in the top of the last screw when I felt a pull on my scalp (头皮) and smelled something burning. Realizing my hair was
62、 stuck into the drill, I quickly pushed the “turning back” button. But the drill only took in more hair, and the smell of burning was even stronger. Terror flooded my mind. Quickly, I moved to unplug the drill. After cutting the drill off from electricity, I tried to pull the drill away, but failed.
63、 There seemed to be only about an inch between the drill and my scalp. I pulled harder. There was no movement and the pulling really hurt. I now had a power tool attached to the side of my head. My twelve-year-old daughter, Floss, was inside, doing her homework upstairs, but I couldnt let her see me
64、 in such a stupid position. I was Mom. I was supposed to know what I was doing. I decided to call my husband. Using one hand that wasnt holding the heavy drill, I finally dialed the phone in the kitchen. It rang and rang, and the call went to voicemail. As I listened to the familiar recording, I won
65、dered what message I could possibly leave. None. I hung up. I waited for approximately three seconds, and with my drill-holding arm aching more and more, I tried again. But it was still the voicemail. So I gave up turning to my husband for help. 注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。I walked into the bathroom to look at my situation in a mirror. _“Floss!” I screamed. _
