Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
It doesn’t look like the heart of a green revolution.The huge chimneys stick up above the line of pine trees and don’t make for the most scenic view as you wander around the clear blue waters of the nearby lake.
But it is this power plant that has helped the small Swedish city of Vaxjo become arguably the greenest place in Europe.On closer observation，the only thing emerging from the chimneys is the faintest mists of steam.And inside it smells more like a sauna (桑拿) than a furnace (炉子)．That’s because it is not oil fuelling the plant，but woodchip and other wood waste from the area’s sawmills.And as well as generating electricity，it also supplies 90 percent of this southern Swedish town with heating and hot water.
The gases produced as the wood burns are changed into liquid form，and are purified before they reach the chimney.And instead of wasting this liquid，the power plant pumps it around town.Some runs out of the town’s public taps；the rest is directed through pipes that run through individual heaters，warming homes and offices.
The pile of wood chippings in the yard towers above head height and takes almost five minutes to walk around.That’s enough to keep Vaxjo warm on the snowiest day in winter，or supply it with hot water for a fortnight in summer，and it’s good way of using the paper industry’s waste.As well as the centuries—old Swedish policy of planting a new tree for every one fuelled，the ashes swept out of the furnace each day find their way back to the forest as fertilizer (肥料)．
初中学习网It was this green plant that netted Vaxjo the European Union’s award for sustainable (可持续的) development，making it the greenest city on the continent.
However，it is not just the citizen’s consciences and moral histories to which the town’s current day authorities are appealing.They know how to talk to their wallets too.Oilgenerated electricity costs about 16,000 kronor a year(￡1,170) per person，while the new power plant’s electricity comes in at two thirds of the price.
They’ve been planning for over ten years to become a “Fossil Fuel Free City”．But according to Anders Franzen，the head of planning and development department at the city council：“The battle in the energy sector has been won，yes，but the next battleground is transport.”

第二节 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。
Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence.They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little lighthearted entertainment.
Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing，all dancing and unrealistic，it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies.Bollywood is the Indian film industry，based in Mumbai，formerly known as Bombay.1.
Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world.This year the Indian Filmgare Awards，Bollywood’s Oscars，turn 50 years old.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients：a cup of romance，a teaspoon of comedy，a dash of international sightseeing，served with a huge slice of singing and dancing.There will also be one brave hero，one beautiful heroine and one baddie.2.
Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries.3.
The actors change clothes and locations within a single song.But the audience don’t mind.To Indian movie lovers，especially the poor，such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods.The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles.The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
4．
Behind the beautiful scenes，Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values.In most films，if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage，they can’t just run away.They must win over their parents.
Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those overstimulating Hollywood films.5.
They will take you to a brighter，cheerier and more colorful world，where it’s still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.
