18.Ellen Parker was worried about her health.She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs.She was soon out of breath.
"I suppose I had better go to the doctor,"she thought.
She went to the doctor and told him her problem.
"I'm not surprised at all,"he said."It's obvious what your problem is."
He examined her and then gave her some advice.
"If you don't do what I say,Mrs.Parker,"he said,"you will have a heart attack.It could kill you."

"That's just under ten pounds,"he said.
"That big enough,"Mrs.Parker said.
The butcher worked out the price.
"At 4.99apoundthatwillbe49.50,please.Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?"
"Oh,I don't want to buy the meat,"Mrs.Parker said.
"If you don't want to buy it,"the butcher replied angrily,"why did you ask me to get it for you?"
"My doctor told me that I am over-weight and I have to lose ten pounds.I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like."

解答 21-25BADBC
21:B   信息歸納題.根據(jù)文章首段的"Ellen Parker was worried about her health.She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs.She was soon out of breath."不難看出Ellen Parker"爬樓困難、氣喘吁吁".由此,我們得出"Ellen Parker 的健康有問題"這一結(jié)論.
22.A  細節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容My doctor told me that I am over-weight and I have to lose ten pounds.可知醫(yī)生建議她減肥,故答案為A 
23.D  細節(jié)理解題    答案源自短文最后一段的"I wanted to see what ten pounds of flesh looked like."一句中,Ellen Parker到肉店去并非是為了買肉,而是要看看10磅肉究竟有多大一塊,故答案為D
24.B 推理判斷題  根據(jù)My doctor told me that I am over-weight and I have to lose ten pounds.可知,Ellen Parker 之所以出現(xiàn)健康狀況出現(xiàn)問題是因為她太重了.故答案為B
25.C 細節(jié)理解  根據(jù)…you will have a heart attack.It could kill you.可知,從醫(yī)生和Ellen Parker的對話中可以知道,如果她繼續(xù)這樣她可能會患心臟。蚀鸢笧镃

8.What historical site impresses you the most?I've always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt.A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them.Like millions of other tourists I marvelled at stoned-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilisation.
But popularity might be the collapse (崩潰) of such archaeological treasures.
Take Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings,for example.It lay untouched for more than 3,000years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922.Now more than 1,000people a day walk through it.
But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (濕度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (膠泥) is coming away from the rock.
In order to preserve its heritage,a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it.
Adam Lowe from the organisation behind the project,F(xiàn)actum Arte,says the copy is identical to the original.He believes visitors will want to"become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction",so won't mind seeing a replica.
But for historian Tom Holland,a copy is still a copy.He believes that although preservation is important,there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun's tomb.
He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced."
What about you:would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?

51.The author mentions Tutankhamen's tomb to showD.
A.its marvelous ancient civilization
B.its popularity among tourists
C.its inner beautiful decoration
D.its damage caused by human activities
52.The underlined word"replica"(in Paragraph 5)means"B".
A.copy
B.tomb
C.palace
D.door
53.The critics who are against the project hold the view thatB.
A.visitors will mind it
B.it can't be replaced
C.its inner beautiful decoration
D.its damage caused by human activities
54.What is the author's tone towards the project?B
A.Favorable.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.

9.Blind imitation is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes (菜譜) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識地) hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say,"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on."

36.Imitation proves useful when youC.
A.know you are unique
B.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something new
D.get tired of routine practice
37.To avoid the bad result of imitation,we shouldB.
A.forget daily fear and pain
B.choose the right example
C.a(chǎn)sk others for decisions
D.stay away from stars
38.According to the author,the world moves on because of those who areB.
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others'ideas
39.The trouble a creator faces isD.
A.the lack of strong motivation
B.the absence of practical ideas
C.how to search for more materials
D.how to use imagination creatively
40.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A
A.To highlight the importance of creativity.
B.To criticize the characters of role models.
C.To compare imitation with creation.
D.To explain the meaning of success.

6.In a research on the effect of the transport sector(運輸領(lǐng)域)on climate,it proves that road traffic contributes the most to global warming.The aviation(航天)sector has the second largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the Earth's Climate.
The study concludes that since pre-industrial times,15%of CO₂emissions(排放量) made by humans have come from the transport sector.The study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sector.Looking only at CO₂emissions,road traffic alone has led to two-thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissions.The reason why road transport tops the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissions.The researchers said that the road emissions of today will make Up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred years.
Following road transport,aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming.However,the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissions.In fact,over the next 100years,today's road emissions will have a climate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today's aviation emissions.
For shipping,the picture is more complicated.Until now,shipping has had a cooling effect on climate.This is because shipping produces a large amount of S02,which has a cooling effect.However,although the gas,until now,has given the shipping industry a cooling effect,this effect will disappear after a while,as the gas doesn't last long in the atmosphere.The long-lived CO₂will dominate(占優(yōu)勢),giving shipping a warming effect in the long run.
In general,the transport sector's contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future.

53.What can we learn about road traffic?D
A.It has the second largest warming effect on climate.
B.It produces l5%of all CO₂into the air every year.
C.It created more CO₂emissions than aviation in history.
D.Its CO₂emissions will probably increase in future.
54.Shipping has a cooling effect becauseC.
A.shipping conditions have been improved
B.the amount of ships at sea is small
C.it produces a gas which has a cooling effect
D.the gas it produces can absorb CO₂
55.The underlined phrase in paragraph 4probably means"A".
A.a(chǎn)fter a long time    B.in a tiring race
C.a(chǎn)ll the time         D.during a long voyage
56.The passage mainly talks aboutB.
A.the effect of CO₂0n global climate
B.the effect from traffic on global warming
C.how to choose a green way to travel
D.why transport produces so much CO₂

10.At just six years old,Joey Kilpatrick is Australia's unofficial hide-and-seek(捉迷藏)champion after he hid in a bedroom cupboard for eight hours while playing his favorite game,causing a big rescue operation.
     The determined little boy's disappearing act led to a careful search,including nice police officers,five State Emergency Service volunteers,tracker dogs and almost all of the people of the town of Goombungee.
     His mother,Chris,says she called the police when Joey disappeared one afternoon after telling his older brother,Lachlan,14,that he was off to play hide-and-seek.
"I called the two boys for dinner,"Chris says."After about 20 minutes I started to worry,I was shouting to Joey,‘OK,we can't find you,time to come out!'"
     But there was no sign of her little boy.Within minutes of Chris calling the police,the policemen started one of the biggest ground searches in the town's history.
"I was really frightened.I rang my husband,Kris,who works out of town,and he immediately hit the road,calling me every 10 minutes."Chris recalls."They searched the house from top to bottom; everyone was out looking for him.When a neighbor asked if I'd checked the water tank,that's when reality hit.I was afraid."
    After hours of searching the town,confused(困惑的)police decided to search the house one more time.
"I just sat there waiting,"Chris says,"Then a strange feeling came over me,and I rushed into the bedroom and put my hand on a pile of blankets in the cupboard.As I pulled then out,there he was---asleep and completely not realizing what was going on!I've never held him in my arms so hard."
Senior officer,Chris Brameld,from Goombungee police,says he is glad that Joey's game had a happy ending:"When we realized he was safe,we agreed that it didn't get much better than that!"
    And young Joey promises that next time he won't be so intent(專注于) on finding the best hiding place."I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them,"he says,"I promise next time I'll hide where they can find me and I won't fall asleep!"
55.Why did the boy hide in a bedroom cupboard?C
A.He thought it was a good place to sleep
B.He wanted to start a big rescue operation
C.He didn't think he could be easily found there
D.He is Australia's unofficial hide-and-seek champion.

A.She checked the water tank.
B.She called the police and her husband.
C.She turned to her neighbor for help.
D.She searched the town from top to bottom.

7.One determined student stepped off the traditional job for blind people in China,and now challenges a new life at university in Britain.Being a message therapist (按摩師)is a perfect job for many people with a visual disability,but for Zheng Jianwei,it was far from enough.
The 30-year-old former massage therapist gave up his hospital job in 2009to prepare for admission to graduate school.He took IELTS(雅思考試),the language-fluency test necessary for university admission in the UK,in 2012and scored 6.5points.He was the first blind examinee to take the IELTS in the Southeast Chinese region.After about four year's struggles,Zheng successfully gain an offer from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom and became a graduate student.
However,Zheng's path to graduate school was not easy."I can't take China's national entrance exam for graduate school,which doesn't provide study material(材料)for blind students,"he says.
He then turned to search for graduate school overseas.However,English became his nightmare.Zheng studied in spacial schools for visually challenged students since primary school,but foreign language was never a main subject.
Before giving up his job and learning English again in 2009,Zheng only knew the alphabet,a few words and some basic expressions."Learning English again in my late 20s is not easy,"he says.
It took him three years of intensive study to gain entrance to a graduate school overseas.Because of the lack of study material,Zheng needs to spend hours and days looking for textbooks for the visually disabled and copying them,while it may take only five minutes for a sighted person to order a plain English textbook from Amazon.
In his parents'eyes,Zheng has been a sensible,independent and decisive man from a young age.Zheng made all the major decisions by himself,including studying abroad and choosing majors."We just follow his decisions,"the mother says.
