Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.‎ Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas (签证) from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.‎ Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member countries, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid (有效的) in the other countries. And you can use your mobile phone ‎ everywhere.‎ All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU.

Because you can use a calculator to exchange money.‎ C. Because one visa is good enough for a number of countries.‎ D. Because applying for different visas is much simpler.‎ ‎28. What can be inferred from the story?‎ A. The Euro is the only money used in the EU now.‎ B. An increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europe.‎ C. Chinese has become an important language in Europe.‎ D. It is always necessary to unite many countries into one.‎ C He slept in my arms last night, with his little head on my shoulder. I stayed awake listening to his breathing. He smiled in his sleep, and I wondered what could be funny to a one-year-old baby. I could sense the safety he felt.‎ However, my home life is completely different from the scene that greets me each morning at work. As a lawyer at Eastlake Juvenile Court (少年法庭), I always see kids that society has labeled the worst of the worst, the “thief”, the “robber”, the list goes on. But ‎ they are still children. As I sit across from them, I have a chance to talk to them about their lives, their homes, and their dreams. I sit through tears, I sit through anger, but mostly I sit through hurt. I see their parents, most of whom sit in the hallways day after day wanting to take their kids home. I also see mothers and fathers that come to the court ready to walk away from their children forever. Each day I see hope destroyed.‎ I have come to realize that these children are our future, even if we don’t want to admit it. They also want to sleep on a mother’s shoulder at night, they also had dreams and smiled in their sleep when they were babies. But then something terrible happened, which robbed (剥夺) them of that youth, that hope, and that joy. I hope one day we can find how to put back the destroyed childhoods and ruined lives.‎ Every day when I go home, I hold my children tightly in my arms and say “I love you” over and over again. And as I am filled with hope, I cannot forget those children I leave behind. I live in two worlds, one of promise, one of tragedy. No matter what they are accused (指控) of, what crimes (罪行) they have carried out and what society thinks of them, they are children, they are our children and our future.‎ ‎29. The author mentions her son in Paragraph 1 mainly to tell readers _____.‎ A. it’s hard to raise a child B. her son is lovely C. children should be taken good care of D. what leads children to break laws ‎30. The underlined word “labeled” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by _____.‎ A. chosen B. described C. praised D. designed ‎31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the children who break laws?‎ A. Angry. B. Relaxed. C. Doubtful D. Hopeful ‎32. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To win support for problem children.‎ B. To show her deep love for her child.‎ C. To accuse those parents who ruin their children’s life.‎ D. To show the difficulty of her work as a lawyer.‎ D If you’ve never bought organic food, you might be wondering what’s so special about it.‎ ‎ Is it really better for you? How does that work? This text will give you a short introduction to the subject.‎ Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think it’s better for their health. Whether that’s true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. Intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but it’s also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. According to a report by the World Resources Institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. Fertilizers — and the much more deadly pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them — finally find their way into rivers and seas. Sometimes they break down harmlessly, but they’re just as likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.‎ Many people find it puzzling that organic products are more expensive. After all, you’re doing away with expensive chemicals... so shouldn’t they be more expensive? Organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive way of farming and that’s why it costs more. As a responsible (有责任的) consumer, it’s up to you to decide where to put your money. Are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? Are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?‎ ‎33. Which of the following does the author agree on?‎ A. Organic food can be produced in great amounts.‎ B. Organic food tastes better than traditional food.‎ C. Organic food is better for the environment.‎ D. Organic food is better for people’s health.‎ ‎34. The underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “______”.‎ A. keeping away from B. making use of C. taking advantage of D. getting rid of ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards organic food?‎ A. Supportive. B. Uncertain.‎ C. Worried. D. Doubtful.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 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。‎ Have you ever felt like you spend a lot of time being busy, but at the end of the day you don’t feel like you’ve really gained anything? 36 The reason is while I spent a lot of time working on urgent (紧急的) things, none of them was important. I try to stay focused on important, rather than simply urgent, tasks each day by using the following methods.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ Often the best way to find out what the most important tasks are is to choose your three most important items for the day. Ask yourself, “If I could only do these three things today, would I feel happy and satisfied?”‎ Focus on providing value.‎ One of the easiest ways for me to discover whether I’m working on important or urgent things is asking myself how much value the task will provide for me or others. I know going to the gym and writing articles will have a better long-term effect than checking my e-mail every 30 minutes and playing games. 38 ‎ First things first.‎ ‎ 39 When I spend my time working on unimportant but urgent items, I end up getting caught up in trying to put out the next fire. Also, when I try to work on my important tasks later in the day, there’s usually more distractions (分心的事).‎ Have a clear vision (构想).‎ This goes along with setting your most important tasks. But here we’re thinking about our long-term vision. Creating a vision is about seeing clearly where you’d like to be in the next 5, 10 or 20 years. 40 Think about whether or not the work you’re doing is moving you closer to your vision.‎ A. When we have a clear idea of what we want the future to be, it’s much easier to focus on important tasks.‎ B. Try to set an example for others.‎ C. I’ve felt this way quite often.‎ D. Spend most of our time doing what’s most important to us.‎ E. Ask yourself, “How much value will this provide for me, or someone else?”‎ F. Set three most important tasks for the day.‎ G. I find the best way is to start on the most important tasks right away in the morning.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that the destination of the seventh grade field trip would be the amusement park.
