But the concept itself isn’t new at all — in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.‎ The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.‎ Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.‎ Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.‎ While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a ‎ long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect — still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ ‎ A. The climate change. B. The greenhouse effect.‎ ‎ C. The atmosphere. D. The heat from the sun.‎ ‎25. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?‎ ‎ A. In 1824. B. In 1903. C. In 1950. D. 200 years ago.‎ ‎26. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?‎ ‎ A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Ambiguous.‎ ‎27. What’s the main idea of the text?‎ ‎ A. Causes of climate change. B. Effects of greenhouse gases.‎ ‎ C. Findings about global warming. D. Explorations on climate change.‎ C One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.‎ To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly. ‎ ‎"It’s such a simple habit to do,but the fact is that people aren’t doing it, and it’s resulting in actual deaths — which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method," said Issar.‎ As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don’t spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children’s hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.‎ Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they've drawing on ‎ their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.‎ Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands alter handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created every where will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.‎ 28. Why does SoaPen come into existence? A.To cure kids of some kinds of diseases. B.To teach kids the importance of soap. C.To help kids wash their hands correctly. D.To make money from children consumers. 29. Which of the following does Issar agree with? A.Handwashing is anything but little. ‎ B.SoaPen is designed for classrooms. C.Some teachers ignore kids' health in school. ‎ D.Kids don’t know the right way of handwashing. 30. What does "obliterate" underlined in paragraph 5 mean? A.Show. B.Reserve. C.Learn. D.Remove. 31. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.SoaPen has become popular worldwide. ‎ B.The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future. C.SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools. ‎ D.Kids' health should be paid more attention to.‎ D Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required. ‎ Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional ‎ campaign. ‎ Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea. ‎ The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers. ‎ Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .‎ These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated. ‎ ‎32. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?‎ A. The number of its customers was declining.‎ B. Its customers found the food unhealthy. ‎ C. It was in need of financial support. ‎ D. Most of its restaurants were closed.‎ ‎33. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?‎ A. To build a good relationship with the public. ‎ B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow. ‎ C. To learn about customers’ spending power. ‎ D. To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants. ‎ ‎34. What do you know about the TV ads of Sparrow? ‎ A. They changed people’s views on pop stars. ‎ B. They amused the public with original songs. ‎ C. They focused on the superiority of its products. ‎ D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience. ‎ ‎35. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?‎ A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts. ‎ B. He made Sparrow much more competitive. ‎ C. He helped Sparrow take over a company. ‎ D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees. ‎ 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。‎ People may have some unclear memories of their childhood, but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in “Snow White”，the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood”. 36 For example, “True love can overcome anything”，and “Even a frog can turn into a prince”. However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, particularly that love doesn’t always win, and that a frog is just a frog.‎ ‎37 Just look at animated films like “The Lion King” and “Frozen”，which have millions of fans young and old. And this year’s Lucerne Festival in Switzerland-a classical music festival - will also feature the themes of “Childhood” and “Fairy tales”.‎ ‎ “Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form,” wrote US author Laura Packer. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.” 38 But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other. For example, in the movie “Maleficent”，we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen. 39 Instead, she suffers great losses growing up, leading to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories”，he tells the classic story of “Little Red Riding Hood”, but with a modem touch.‎ ‎40 They may usually start with “Once upon a time”, but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn’t always need a “happily ever after” to be a good one.‎ A. Fairy tales are all about reality.‎ B. But somehow, our love for fairy tales never dies.‎ C. Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales.‎ D. The theme of fairy tales is to teach people courage and kindness.‎ E. Fairy tales have been adapted into versions suitable for children.‎ F. It looks like fairy tales aren’t just stories our parents read us at bedtime.‎ G. Unlike the children’s version of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）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。‎ When I was a child my father taught me five words that I’ve used all my life—in my acting career, as a mother, in my business activities.
