　　A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales were booming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold. The feeling of excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, “ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support.

　　I am afraid that due to illness, the lady whom you've all come to hear will not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitute we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment.” The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand­in's name.

　　The environment turned from excitement to disappointment. The stand­in performer gave the performance everything she had.

　　When

　　she finished, there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence.

　　No one applauded. Suddenly, from the balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, “Mummy, I think you are wonderful！” The crowd broke into thunderous applause. We all need people in our lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say,

　　“I think you are wonderful”．

　　第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

　　第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

　　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。

　　A

　　The German city of Hamburg has announced plans to become car­free within the next two decades. It is an ambitious idea, but city officials obviously feel that the personal motorcar does not fulfill a function that walking, biking and taking public transport cannot. The goal of Hamburg's project is to replace roads with a green network, which will allow people to navigate through the city without the use of cars.

　　Banishing the car from urban areas is becoming a common trend in many European cities. London imposes a “congestion charge” on private vehicles entering the city centre during rush hours. Copenhagen is building bicycle superhighways radiating out from the city centre. These developments combined may make worrying reading for driving enthusiasts. Is the time of the personal car over?

　　In the century since the Ford Model T was introduced in 1908, global vehicle numbers have swollen to well over a billion. But according to recent research, the growth may have stopped.

　　According

　　to

　　Professor

　　Michael

　　Sivak,

　　at

　　the

　　University

　　of

　　Michigan, “motorization” in the US might have reached a peak in 2008, and that the figures have been on the decline since.

　　“New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, each have more than thirty percent of households without a light duty vehicle，” says Sivak. In fact, the figures show that fifty­six percent of households in New York (which top the list) don't have a car. “I think that will be surprising to most people. It was surprising to me, and I am in the business.”

　　Sivak thinks a number of factors could be contributing to the trend, including working from home and the movement of populations back to city centers. In China, Beijing and Shanghai are looking at plans to limit the number of new vehicles being registered to control growth. It's a movement more cities are looking towards, particularly in the US.

　　21．Why does Hamburg launch the “car­free” program?

　　A. To build a greener environment.

　　B. To fix a worldwide road network.

　　C. To call on people to take exercise.

　　D. To replace the public transport.

　　22．The underlined word “banishing” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”．

　　A. putting out

　　B. giving away

　　C. driving away

　　D. setting out

　　23．What does Michael Sivak think of the result of his research?

　　A. Terrifying.

　　B. Amazing.

　　C. Exciting.

　　D. Disappointing.

　　24．What can be learned from the last paragraph?

　　A. Most people like to work in the countryside.

　　B. It is only big cities that are taking action.

　　C. Many factors contribute to the trend.

　　D. Effective rules have come into effect.

　　The Most Wonderful Islands

　　The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.

　　After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent(月状的)structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.

　　The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leaves coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five­star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.

　　The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas(小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts(桩柱) in the water.

　　The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists.

　　More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.

　　Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubai's status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.

　　25．According to the passage, all the following are right EXCEPT ________.

　　A．Some Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the sea

　　B．The islands are being built in the shallow water of the sea

　　C．All the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were sold

　　D．The World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeirah

　　26．The underlined word “facilitates” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．holds back

　　B．makes easier

　　C．slows down

　　D．leads to

　　27．What is the passage written for?

　　A．To introduce the wonderful artificial islands.

　　B．To show how to build artificial islands.

　　C．To offer a travel service for tourists.

　　D．To prove the Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world.

　　答案与解析

　　位于迪拜的棕榈岛是世界上最大的人工岛，它们正在建设当中，将会在人工岛上开发旅游、休闲、住宅等项目。棕榈岛由朱美拉棕榈岛(The Palm Jumeirah)、阿里山棕榈岛、代拉棕榈岛和世界岛等四个岛屿群组成。

　　25．D　推理判断题。根据第二段“Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea”可知A项正确；根据第二段“The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep.”可知B项正确；根据第三段“they were all sold within three days”可知，所有的房子在三天内就售完了，C项正确，故选D。

　　26．B　词义猜测题。根据画线词后“the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea”可知，尽管浅滩有利于施工，但是岛屿仍然会受到海流和潮汐的影响，故选B。

　　27．A　写作意图题。根据第一段“The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai，... They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts”可知，文章主要介绍了一些在建的人工岛屿，故选A。

　　C

　　“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.

　　45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.

　　“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected，” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify.”

　　The change was big in cold­blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton (浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem.

　　Warm­blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records. This is not the first time this has happened in Earth's history.

　　55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a long time than the current climate change.

　　The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.

　　28．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Why do some species become smaller?

　　B. How does temperature change in Earth's history?

　　C. Climate change has many negative effects

　　D. Species become smaller as climate warms

　　29．The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by ________.

　　A. beaten

　　B. increased

　　C. strengthened

　　D. equaled

　　30．Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that ________.

　　A. too many studies on animals' size have been done

　　B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller

　　C. how climate change affects animals' size has not been found clearly

　　D. climate change has more negative effects on warm­blooded animals

　　31．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A. Bird have suffered more from climate change than fish.

　　B. Climate change have even affected plankton negatively.

　　C. Cold­blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.

　　D. The warming event has never happened in Earth' s history before.

　　答案与解析

　　28．D　标题归纳题。从全文内容概括可知D项正确。

　　29．A　词义猜测题。从第一段第一句 Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide, ...可知A项正确。

　　30．C　细节理解题。从第三段内容 “We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected，” the researchers said. “Until we...”可知。

　　Homework and stress are rarely reduced inside the classroom. Meanwhile, outside the classroom, the pressure is on to find scholarships for college.

　　According to Braintrack, a higher education database with worldwide reach, more than 3 billion US dollars(18 billion yuan) in private scholarships are awarded to college students annually. Average awards range from $2,000 to $3,000.

　　The scholarship application process is similar to the college application process: forms to be completed, test scores and transcripts to be sent, essays to be written and often interviews to be prepared for.

　　A few great places to start looking for scholarships are：www. fastweb. com, www.finaid. org and www. collegexpress.com. Check out the annual scholarship guidebooks Scholarships, Grants & Prizes by Peterson's and The Ultimate Scholarship Book: Billions of Dollars in Scholarships, Grants and Prizes by Gen Tanabe and Kelly Tanabe.

　　Be selective. Thoroughly research the qualifications required by each of the scholarships. Don't waste your time applying for those that are need­based if you can't produce the appropriate documents.

　　Research past recipients(接受者). Check out the websites of the organizations sponsoring the scholarships. Many post the biographies of past recipients. You don't need to have cured cancer, but if you don't think your résumé(履历) measures up to the past winners', you might be better served by moving onto the next scholarship on your list. Prepare for the interview.

　　You'll want to dazzle them with your personality, but above all you'll want to be prepared. Find someone you trust to conduct a similar interview with you—someone who will be honest with you and provide valuable suggestions.

　　Let your personality shine through in your essays. The essays are the best way for students to share who they are, where they've come from, what they've overcome and so on. Tell your story in an interesting and persuasive way. And if you do have an interview, send a thank­you note afterward.

　　By Lee Bearer

　　答案与解析

　　父亲的首次钢琴独奏会使“我”明白了“开始新的东西永不为迟”的道理，同时也让“我”明白了勇气和决心的含义，这是任何语言所不能比拟的。

　　41．C　前文提到钢琴独奏会，此处解释独奏会的含义。一场独奏会对“我”来说就是“我”不得不练习一首无聊的乐曲，并在陌生人面前演奏。mean“意味着”；reflect“反映，反射”；explain“解释”；prove“证明”。

　　42．A　每一年“我”都会常常问父亲“这次”能不能不参加独奏会。would“过去常常，总是”；could“能够”；might“可以”；should“应该”。

　　43．D　此处表示的是父亲会嘀咕一些建立自信及朝着一个目标努力的东西。此处 something 指“想来重要(或值得注意)的事物”；nothing“什么也没有”；everything“一切”；anything“任何东西”。

　　44．A　根据下文“我”从父亲的首次独奏会上学习的东西可知父亲嘀咕的是朝着一个目标努力，故选A项。goal“目标”；stage“舞台，阶段”；journey“旅程”；chance“机会”。

　　45．B　此处是强调句型，强调状语 with really great satisfaction。前文提到“我”不愿意参加独奏会，后文提到“我”要观看父亲举行的第一次独奏会，故应是感到“满足，满意”，有暗自庆幸之意。trouble“麻烦”；strength“力气，力量”；disappointment“失望”。

　　46．C　前文提到“我”坐在教堂里手里拿着录像机，故此处应是要观看父亲的演出。keep“坚持”；send“送”；watch“观看”；feel“感觉”。

　　47．D　前文提到父亲汗流浃背，后文提到此次演奏是父亲的首次表演，故此处用 before，表示父亲演奏之前很紧张，故选D项。

　　48．B　根据前文父亲的家里很穷可知此处表示的是付不起学钢琴的钱，故选B项。afford“付得起……的费用”；miss“错过，想念”；select“选择，选举”；understand“理解”。

　　49．A　前文提到父亲家庭条件不好，没能够学习弹钢琴，故此处指的是他本可以像我们大多数人那样一直遗憾下去。as“正如，好像”，引导方式状语从句；once“曾经”；if“如果”；while“然而”。

　　50．C　根据前文尽管他念念不忘过去但“他并没有沉浸其中”，故选C项。stick“陷在，卡在”；educate“教育”；protect“保护”；spoil“宠爱，溺爱”。

　　51．D　根据后文“我”父亲举行独奏会可知他应该是说服了教堂的音乐总监收他为徒，故选D项。persuade“说服，劝服”；allow“允许”；invite“邀请”；inspire“鼓舞，激励”。

　　52．B　根据前文父亲在钢琴前坐下及后文“我”的担心可知，父亲没有弹奏只是低头盯着自己的手指，故选B项。simply“仅仅，只是”；roughly“粗糙地，大致地”；merrily“高兴地”；curiously“好奇地”。

　　53．C　根据前文父亲的表现：只是低头凝视着自己的手指，及“我”担心父亲是忘了“音符”了吗？故选C项。note“音符”；word“话，语言”；video“视频”；lesson“课”。

　　54．A　此处表示的是“我”记起了数十年前“我”演奏时大脑一片空白、手指僵硬的时候，故选A项。decades ago“数十年前”。

　　55．B　根据大脑一片空白可知此处表示的是手指僵硬，故选B项。play“弹奏，玩耍”；freeze“冻僵，僵硬”；click“点击”；adjust“调整”。

　　56．A　根据后文曾经为“我”的鱼线上装鱼饵可知，这美妙的音乐与之出自同一双手，故选A项。

　　57．B　此处指的是“我”意识到他根据音乐老师一直强调的来做，故选B项。realize“意识到”；predict“预测，预见”；imagine“想象”；insist“坚持”。

　　58．D　根据下文假装没有人在那儿可知音乐老师一直强调的是把注意力放在音乐上，故选D项。pass over“置之不理，忽视”；turn up“出现，调大”；bring in“带来，引进”；concentrate on“集中注意力于”。

　　59．D　父亲在这个年纪还能学习新的东西，“我”为他感到自豪，故选D项。be proud of“对……自豪”；be ashmed of“对……感到羞愧”；be aware of“意识到”；be tired of“对……感到厌烦”。

　　60．C　根据“Yeah”可知儿子很赞同“我”说的话，“而且演奏得真是太好了”。故选C项。nicely“好极了”；casually“随意地”；anxiously“焦急地”；frequently“经常地，频繁地”。

　　Dear Editor，

　　I'm sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot. What's more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

　　Yours truly，

　　Wang Lin

　　Dear_Sir，

　　I'm writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families for the British students.

　　Located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, our large fully­equipped apartment meets all their needs. Apart from the convenient public transportation, our own car can also take them to some nearby places of interest. With fluent English and an outgoing personality, I'm sure I will have no difficulty communicating with them. Above all, we hosted two British students last year, through which we've gained lots of experience. In addition, my mother's expert cooking can guarantee them a wonderful chance of tasting delicious Chinese food.

　　I would greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to host them and make friends with them. Looking forward to your reply.

　　Yours，

　　Li_Hua
