Join us on a trip to the city as we imagine how London will have changed by the 2012 Games.‎ ‎☆ Passage One ‎ If you travel to London to watch the 2012 Olympics, you will be able to walk on a new kind of sidewalk(人行道). It’s made of special slabs(平板). It can change the energy from people’s footsteps(脚步) into electricity(电).‎ ‎ This new invention is called PaveGen. Laurence Kemball-Cook, a 25-year-old student, designed it. The green slab gets energy from people’s steps and passes electricity to lights. So, when people walk on the slabs, the sidewalk will light up. Each step produces enough electricity to keep a light on for 30 seconds.‎ ‎ Looking to the future, Kemball-Cook would like to introduce the invention to more countries.‎ ‎“Every person takes about 150 million steps in their lifetime. Just imagine how much electricity we will produce,” he said.‎ ‎ ☆ Passage Two Games greening city The main Olympic Park and Olympic Stadium(体育场) are in Stratford in the northeast of London. They will be the most “green” Olympic buildings ever. For the Stadium, they won’t use too much steel(钢材), but recycled gas pipes(燃气管道) instead.‎ The Olympic Park is on land that was once a polluted industrial(工业的) site. People will plant 2,000 trees and build some lakes there, too.‎ Stratford‎ is a poor area of London, but the Games will make many jobs for local people. After the Games finish, the Olympic Park site will become housing for teachers and nurses. People will also take new “tube”(subway) trains in the area.‎ ‎47. The inventor of PaveGen is now ________ years old.‎ ‎ A. 20 B. ‎25 ‎ C. 30‎ ‎48. The underlined word “It” in Passage One refers to ________.‎ ‎ A. the sidewalk B. the light C. the slab ‎49. The best title for Passage One is ________.‎ ‎ A. London Olympics B. Lighting the way C. A special student ‎50. We call London Olympic “the most green Olympic” because for the Stadium, they use ________.‎ ‎ A. too much steel B. trees and lakes C. recycled gas pipes ‎51. We can infer(推断) from Passage Two that after the Games finish, ________.‎ ‎ A. people in Stratford will be richer ‎ B. all the nurses will have their own houses ‎ C. the Olympic Stadium will become factories C This year is a leap year. Leap years are years with 366 days, instead of the usual 365. Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years come every 4 years, and most years that can be evenly(平均地) divided by 4 have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29th which is known as a leap day. Why leap is used here? Leap means jump.‎ However, there is one exception to the leap year rule about century years. Century years are only considered as leap years if they are evenly divided by 400. Therefore, 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was a leap year.‎ A person who is born on February 29th may be called a "leapling" or a "leap year baby". In non-leap years, some leaplings celebrate(庆祝) their birthday on either February 28th or March 1st. In England and Wales or in Hong Kong, a person born on February 29th, 1996, will have legally(法律上) reached 18 years old on March 1st, 2014. If he or she was born in the United States, Taiwan or New Zealand, his or her legally birthday will come a day earlier.‎ There is a popular custom in some countries that a woman may ask a man to marry her on February 29th. If the man refuses, he then has to give the woman money or buy her a dress.‎ Since leap days are special days, people nowadays want to do something different within the 24 extra hours. Big jumps are the most popular ones. ‎ Some salaried(领薪水的) workers want to get pay for their extra day’s work. But in my opinion, if you know why there is a leap day, you will get the answer to this problem.‎ ‎52. The next leap year is .‎ A. 2014 B. ‎2016 ‎‎ ‎‎ C. 2018‎ ‎53. American boy Toby is a leapling. Next year he will probably to have his birthday party on .‎ A. February 28th B. February 29th C. March 1st ‎54. Which picture is about popular custom on leap days?‎ A. B. C. ‎ ‎55. Many people like to have a big jump on leap days probably because .‎ A. it’s a custom B. they are leaplings C. leap means jump ‎56. We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. 2100 will not be a leap year B. every year leaplings celebrate their birthday on either February 28th or March 1st ‎ C. it is necessary to pay the salaried workers for the leap day’s work D An armless pianist who plays with his toes has won the first series of China’s version of the internationally popular TV talent show, “China’s Got Talent.”‎ Liu Wei, a 23-year-old Beijing-born pianist, who lost both his arms at the aged of 10 when he was electrocuted（触电）during a game of hide-and-seek. Liu Wei stayed in rehabilitation（康复）centre for 2 years. When he got out, he was introduced to Beijing’s disabled swimming team, and he managed to take 2 gold medals in the National Disabled Swimming Championship at the aged of 14. But soon he was told not to do too much sport by the doctor. ‎ Liu Wei was very sad. Luckily, the door was shut on sports, but it opened in music. At the age of 18, he started to learn the piano. He could not find a teacher to lead him to play with his toes, so he began teaching himself. Liu said, “I knew if I tried, I might get a chance at success. If I didn’t try, I would lose my future.”‎ He carried on a daily 7-hour practice, his improvement gave him hope. He kept practicing and made progress gradually. In early 2011, he gave a memorable performance in Vienna’s Golden Concert Hall. In 2012, he received the award “Top Ten People Who Moved China”.‎ ‎57.

It shows us a mountain and the land on each side of it. The sea is on the west side of the mountain. ‎ In January, February and March, warm wet winds blow strongly across the sea towards the mountain. The winds pick up moisture(湿气) as they blow across the sea. When clouds reach the mountain, they rise and become cooler. The higher they have to go, the cooler they become. The moisture in the clouds turns into rain. As a result, the clouds drop rain on the west side of the mountain, which sometimes has problems with flooding. Some of the clouds pass over the mountain, but there is little rain in them.‎ In July and August, strong winds blow from G towards the mountain. They pass over a wide desert, where it is always very hot. The winds become hot and dry. They rise when they meet the mountain. They do not form clouds because there is no moisture in the hot air.‎ The picture shows why there are wonderful farms on one side of the mountain, but there is a desert on the other side.‎ ‎62. What is the most important cause of the rain?‎ ‎ A. The mountain. B. The clouds. C. The sea. ‎ ‎63. Why don’t the winds from G form clouds?‎ ‎ A. Because the winds don’t pass over the desert.‎ B. Because there is no moisture in the hot air.‎ C. Because the winds are not strong enough. ‎ ‎64. Which part in the picture is best for farming?‎ ‎ A. F to G B. A to B C. E to F ‎ ‎65.

This passage mainly tells us ____________.‎ ‎ A. what the weather is like in the mountains B. how the desert forms in the east of the mountain C. why the weather is different on the two sides of the mountain 第二部分（非选择题）‎ ‎(四) 情景交际应用(共20分)‎ VIII. 根据对话情景,填入恰当的单词, 每空一词.（每词1分, 共6分）‎ A: What’s the matter, Peter?‎ B: I am afraid I will (71. __________) a math test, Dad. ‎ A: You are?
