8.Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag.The bag contained a book.
This chance discovery ended a 12day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure--a 120 page diary kept 190years ago by Deborah Logan,"a woman who knew everybody in her day,"James Green,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia.It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington,D.C.in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as"perfectly shaking with fear''during the troubled days.George Washington,she writes,mistook her for the wife of a French man,and praised her excellent English.
The adventure of the lost book began September 4when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先)to the Library Company,which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession"about five minutes''when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.  On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green,Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay,Green began calling every taxi company in the city,with no Luck."I've felt sick since then."Luxmoore told reporters.
According to Green,no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward(獎(jiǎng)勵(lì))of $l,000.Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history,and Luxmoore told reporters."It's wonderful news.  I'm on high.''

9.Your next car could have two seats,three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour.Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio.Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side.The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.
The starting price for the car is just $6,800.It has only one door,on the left side,which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs.Having three wheels also makes it cheaper.It has air conditioning,power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio.More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers.Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特約經(jīng)銷商).
Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors.In 2008,tired of high gas prices,he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way.Equally important to him was creating U.S.manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old,unreliable (不可靠的)cars."Whatever matters to you,this can move the needle on it,"he said.
Already,more than 27,000 people have reserved (預(yù)訂)one.Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016.So far,reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work.Finally,though,he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.

29.Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?C
    
(O=wheel,□=seat)
30.Paragraph 2 shows that the ElioA.
  A.is sold at affordable prices
  B.will be available in most stores
  C.has a fixed temperature
  D.does no harm to the environment
31.The underlined words"move the needle"in Paragraph 3 probably mean"D".
   A.take a chance                                        B.stand in the way
   C.break into pieces                                   D.make a difference
32.What would be the best title for the text?C
   A.The history of Elio Motors
B.Cool and practical vehicle
   C.Paul Elio:a kid with big dreams
D.What car to choose:new or used?

分析發(fā)生的原因一些旅客把樹壇當(dāng)成凳子來(lái)休息,他們還把垃圾丟在樹木旁邊;
甚至還破壞樹木,給管理工作帶來(lái)了許多麻煩.
你的看法(請(qǐng)考生根據(jù)自己的經(jīng)歷或感想,提出至少一種做法)
注意:1.對(duì)所有要點(diǎn)逐一陳述,適當(dāng)發(fā)揮,不要簡(jiǎn)單翻譯;
2.詞數(shù)100左右.
參考詞匯:樹壇 tree altar 凳子 stool.
It is reported that twelve trees on the square of Nanchang station have been forbidden from accessing.This makes people concerned.Some officials say passengers damage the greens.Besides,some passengers use tree altars as stools to rest throwing rubbish around.To make them worried,some even damage trees,which has brought much trouble and affected the image of the city as well.
However,I dont agree with that.Its true that it is their duties to protect the environment and green facilities.Everyone should form the habit.However,if passengers have comfortable wooden stools,they wont choose the stone ones.After all,they feel helpless in that condition.So more attention should be given to make their life better and more convenient..

19.Insects(昆蟲) are a very healthy food.They have almost as much protein(蛋白質(zhì)) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat.Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.
Marcel Dicke,who studies insects,explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat.For example,imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food.Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1pound of meat for people to eat.However,imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10pounds of food.Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!
Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas.Many people can raise and sell insects,which can provide jobs and food.
But insects will not replace animal meat very quickly.First,people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects.Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork.But they do not traditionally eat insects.In fact,for many people in the west,eating insects sounds crazy.They believe insects are dirty and dangerous.Insects make them feel uncomfortable.
Some people are trying to deal with this problem.For example,David George Gordon wrote a book named"The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook",which tries to show people that insects can be delicious.Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits of eating insects.But they will still have a lot work to do.

25.The long way eating insects has to go mainly results fromB.
A.their terrible taste
B.people's old beliefs
C.family traditions
D.eating methods
26.We can infer from David and other insect experts believe thatA.
A.people can eat more insects
B.insects should be better protected
C.people can make a lot of money from insects
D.it's dangerous to eat insects
27.Eating insectsD.
A.is not healthy
B.makes people put n fat
C.helps protect large nimals
D.is environmentally friendly
28.The example of Marcel Dicke is given to showD.
A.the high cost of food production
B.it's quite easy for farmers to raise insects
C.the different ways of feeding cows and insects
D.raising insects is a good choice for farmers.
