Plans changed when the opening hand, Sweetwater, got caught in traffic, Michael Lang, producer of the festival, said he chose Havens “because of his calm but powerful manner”. His performance went overtime because the next act was stuck in traffic, too. This led Richie Havens to create on the spot what became one of the most significant moments of the Woodstock Festival: his performance of “Freedom”.‎ The oldest of nine children, Havens was raised in the poor Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Broklyn, New York. As a child, he dreamed of growing up to be a surgeon, but set off on a musical path as a teenager. Forming a music group in high school, he then landed in New York’s Greenwich Village folk clubs at 17. He soon stood out from the other young singers.‎ He recorded two albums on small labels (公司) before signing with Bob Dylan’s manager, Albert Grossman. He then joined a larger label and went on to tour for more than 40 years, making close to 30 albums.‎ Besides a good songwriter, Richie Havens was also an outstanding song interpreter. In many occasions he’d tell of spending three days learning Bob Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”: “I wasn’t born to stopped him and sing so I practiced the song over and over again in a stairwell.” One night, a man stooped him and said it was the best version he’d ever heard. Havens always ended the story by saying: “that’s how I first met Bob Dylan.”‎ ‎25. What can we know about the Woodstock Festival in 1969?‎ A. Michael Lang was to blame for the traffic.‎ B. The first four bands all got stuck in the traffic.‎ C. Richie Havens Was the only one invited to play.‎ D. It offered a chance to Richie Havens to success.‎ ‎26. What plays an important role in Havens’ success?‎ A. Good luck. B. Timely help. C. Hard work. D. Great talent.‎ ‎27. The underlined “a man” in the last paragraph actually refers to .‎ A. Bob Dylan B. Alert Grossman C. Michael Lang D. Richie Havens ‎ ‎28. It can be inferred from the passage that .‎ A. Richie released 30 albums in total in his life B. Richie grew up in a wonderful environment C. Richie played Freedom without preparation D. Richie dreamed to be a singer since childhood C Where there are people, there are chickens. One result of a huge chicken population is a huge amount of chicken feather, which are normally burned or treated as rubbish, polluting the environment.‎ Ryan Robinson, a biology graduate from Imperial College London, believed there would be a different solution for this feathery waste. Therefore, along with designer Elena Dieckman, he has discovered a way to turn feathers into an insulating (绝缘的) material for buildings or a packing material for food or medicine. The pair has formed a start-up, called Aeropowder, to try and turn their invention into a commercial product. They believe the new material could have a range of uses.‎ ‎“Currently feathers are mainly transformed in this country to a low-grade animal food called feather meal. Feathers can also be burned or thrown away. And these methods do not make use of their amazing natural properties (特性).” says R0binson.‎ It turns out that feathers are quite a wonder material. “Feathers are insulating due to their structure, which are hollow fibers,” says Robinson. Extra air in the fibers means less heat transfer. “What has been surprising is how well the material has performed, and we hope to continue to make it better and better. “The current form of Aeropowder’s material looks much more like a fattened brick of feathers. It’s flexible and light.‎ Aeropowder isn’t the first to try to find a further use for this very common waste product. In 2011, researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the US suggested that chicken feathers should be used to ‎ help produce a kind of environmental plastic. The next challenge will be to find a way for this material to be made close to where the chickens are, rather than sending it far away to a processing plant.‎ ‎“There is still work to be done to get our material tested with early adopters,” Robinson says. “But in the long term, we wish to become the world experts in feather-based materials.”‎ ‎29. Why did Ryan begin to search for the elution for feathery Waste?‎ A. To produce environmental plastic. B. To make big business profits.‎ C. To find better building materials. D. To avoid its polluting the environment.‎ ‎30. What’s the advantage of the feather building material?‎ A. It can keep the house warm. B. It is easy to be made into bricks.‎ C. It is enough. D. It helps heat spread quickly. ‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Ryan: an expert in feather-based materials B. Feather meal a new kind of animal food C. Chicken feathers: a wonder material D. Aeropowder: a new processing plant D Wang Xuan, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, was planning to get Internet and TV service in the U. S. She went to Verizon, the U. S’ largest wireless communication service provider, only to be told that she couldn’t enjoy the service because her credit score wasn’t high enough.‎ In most Western countries, a credit score is a number that determines whether you are are a reliable person to lend credit to. A higher score means you have better personal credit. Your score is affected by your monthly debts, whether you pay bills on time and other types of information.‎ Wang is hardly alone in dealing with credit score trouble. Many Chinese overseas students lack the necessary knowledge about credit scores, even though it’s widely used in their everyday lives. Banks will check your score if you want to get a credit card. To get a loan, a good credit score is vital. It also matter, when you rent an apartment or buy a house. Its influence doesn’t end there. An increasing number of employ now check the credit scores of applicants. You can’t ignore that a credit report can be a judge of character.‎ So how can you get a good credit score? Make your repayments on time and pay off your accounts early if you can. If you’re using to pay off debts, make sure you keep enough cash in an easy access savings account for emergencies. If you want to improve your credit rating immediately, you should fix any problems on your credit file ‎ before you start applying for a loan. Also, cancel any credit cards that you’re not currently using. ‎ ‎32. What problem did Wang Xuan have?‎ A. Her credit score was too low. B. Her credit affected graduation.‎ C. She couldn’t enjoy public services. D. She couldn’t stay in the U. S. any more.‎ ‎33. Why do students like Wang have credit score trouble?‎ A. Credit score is too hard to improve. B. They don’t know well of credit score.‎ C. Credit score is hardly used in their life. D. They lack access to relevant knowledge.‎ ‎34.

Ability to do something well.‎ ‎35. What may cause credit score trouble?‎ A. Having few monthly debts. B. Using savings to pay off debts.‎ C. Paying off your accounts early. D. Having little cash in an account.‎ 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。‎ How to Retain More of Every Book You Read In recent years, I have focused on building good reading habits and learned how to read more. For most people, the final goal of reading a nonfiction book is to actually improve their life by learning a new skill, understanding an important problem, or looking at the world in a new way. 36 With that in mind, I’d like to share three reading comprehension skills that I use to make my reading more productive.‎ Make all of your notes searchable. Having searchable book notes is important for returning to ideas easily. 37 An idea is only useful if you can find it when you need it. There is no need to leave the task of reading comprehension merely up to your memory.‎ ‎ 38 When you go to the library, all of the books will be divided into different categories. In the real world, of course, knowledge is not separated into neatly defined boxes. 39 For that reason, I try to consider how the book I’m reading is connected with ail of the ideas that are already inside my head. Whenever possible, I try to combine the lessons I’m learning with previous ideas.‎ Summarize the book in one paragraph. 40 It forces me to review my notes and consider what is really important about the book. In many cases, I find that I can usually get just as much useful information from reading my one—paragraph summary and reviewing my notes as I would if I read the entire book again. ‎ A. Combine thoughts as you read.‎ B. All knowledge is interconnected.‎ C. Describe the book to your friends.‎ D. Read widely if you want to practice the skills.‎ E. It increases the chances that you will apply what you read in real life.‎ F. Once I finish a book, I challenge myself to conclude the text in just three sentences.‎ G. It’s important to read books, but it is just as important to remember what you read and use it. ‎ 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。‎ I have an unforgettable experience to share.
