She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart(使我胆战心惊)．And everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.‎ Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.‎ To everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was ‎ near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to be my natural self in front of her.‎ Still，I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. Truly, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her.‎ Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.‎ ‎24．During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was ________．‎ A．proud but patient B．beautiful but strict C．scholarly but serious D．humorous but single-minded ‎25．What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A．Win her favor. B．Embarrass her.‎ C．Argue with her. D．Follow her closely.‎ ‎26．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?‎ A．Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.‎ B．Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.‎ C．Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.‎ D．Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.‎ ‎27．What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?‎ A．She was dismissed from the school.‎ B．She was not accepted by the students.‎ C．She was unwilling to leave her students.‎ D．She had a strong sense of social responsibility.‎ C Do you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times? Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be introduced to you.‎ Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue (胶水) to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.‎ Unfixed sandpaintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary(临时的). Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.‎ Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story.‎ Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand”.‎ Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.‎ Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life, even in the sand.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sandpainting?‎ ‎ A. Glue B. A printed picture ‎ ‎ C. Colored paper D. Water ‎29. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. How an image is created in the sand B. Why sandpainting is becoming popular ‎ C. How sandpainting is becoming popular D. What sandpainting tries to express ‎30. What do we know about Simonova?‎ ‎ A. She is the best painter in the world ‎ B. Her performances are popular with people ‎ C. She once gave up performing for her family ‎ D. Being a sand artist is her biggest dream ‎ ‎31. The underlined word “persevered” can be replaced by _______.‎ ‎ A. set off B. gave out C. ended up D. held on ‎ ‎ D It is important for countries to develop. Sometimes development can do more harm than good for a country. Therefore, this development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. It focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one that is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.‎ Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earth’s natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things. The list is almost endless. For all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. On top of this, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.‎ Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity. As people are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are becoming more and more popular.‎ In many parts of the world, tentative(试验性的) steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are training to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelectricity to provide power for their small villages. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world. This will mean good things for our future, our children’s future and our grandchildren’s future.‎ ‎32. We know from the passage that sustainable development ______________.‎ A. means to develop slowly ‎ B. can bring little good to the people C. has ended the environmental destruction ‎ D. is an idea being discussed ‎33. It is important to preserve the natural resources because they _____________.‎ ‎ A. consume the energy for important things ‎ B. are running out ‎ ‎ C. provide the energy for people to use ‎ D. are being produced at a high rate ‎34. Hydroelectricity means ___________.‎ A. using the sun to provide electricity ‎ B. using wind power to produce electricity ‎ ‎ C. using water power to produce electricity ‎ D. using water to protect the environment ‎35. What is the author’s attitude toward sustainable development?‎ ‎ A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Tolerant. 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。‎ Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.‎ Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.   36  Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.‎ The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie.   37‎ Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries.   38 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.‎ ‎  39  Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.‎ Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films.  40  They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.‎ A.
