Prices are per person:‎ Chat Noir ‎230 Merrick Rd., Rockville Centre ‎516-208-8521, chatnoirtea.com Owner Emma Tso is a talented pastry chef, and her afternoon tea($22) includes sandwiches, miniature pastries, warm scones, cream and jam and a pot of tea.

At Chat Noir B. At Robinson’s Tea Room C. At the Hidden Oak Cafe D. At the Secret Garden Tea Cafe& Gift Shoppe B David Christof, a Marathon runner, visited my school yesterday. He made a speech about the safe drinking water problem in the world. “I want to do more and help people everywhere have ‎ safe drinking water, ”he said as he spoke to a gym full of students.‎ Chrisof shared with us his story of determination to help solve the world water crisis by participating in the 2007 Blue Planet Run marathon. Starting in New York City, a team of 21 male and female athletes ran around the clock through 16 countries. It covered 15,200 miles and three continents, 24 hours a day for 65 days to deliver the message that measures must be taken to help countries searching for safe drinking water.‎ As he spoke to us, Christof displayed a picture of a woman getting water from a well filled with dirty water. “Would you like to drink this water?” he asked.”I wouldn’t either, yet this woman is washing her dishes in it and later she will use it to cook. The water crisis does not mean people are dying of thirst. It means that they are drinking water that is not good for them.”‎ Christof pointed out that students in my school may not worry whether or not the water they are drinking is safe. But it is another story in other countries, where people actually have to decide whether their water is safe to drink. He expressed the hope that his speech would help us realize how a single person can make a difference by taking the steps to bring about change.‎ ‎24. What is Christof’s speech mainly about?‎ A. A story about looking for clean water. ‎ B. The world safe drinking water problem.‎ C. The importance of drinking enough water. ‎ D. Different methods for making use of water.‎ ‎25. What can we know about the 2007 Blue Planet Run marathon?‎ A. It was hosted in New York. B. It was finished in 24 hours.‎ C. It was held day and night. D. It was attended by 42 athletes.‎ ‎26. What does Christof imply about the woman in the picture?‎ A. She should save water. B. She needs good water.‎ C. She is polluting water. D. She prefers well water.‎ ‎27. What does the author do most probably?‎ A. A student B. A technician C. A famous scientist D. a professional runner C ‎ I know a woman who complained about how expensive it was to stay warm in her house in winter. Her problem was that she was wearing shorts an T-shirts inside and then turning the thermostat（恒温器）way up, which caused her furnace to use more natural gas and her heating bill to climb. By putting on long pants and long-sleeve shirts, she could keep warm and turn the thermostat down, which saved money.‎ ‎ Each degree you lower your thermostat can save you up to 3 percent on heating. When you are paying to heat the air, you certainly don’t want to lose it. So it’s also important to identify areas where warm air gets out or cold air gets in. And the fixes don’t have to be expensive.‎ I traced a cold draft in my living room to the old keyhole in the front door. Since the keyhole was no longer used, I fixed it with packing material and the draft disappeared. I also realized that my bedroom was cold because I was leaving the door open. When I keep it closed, I don’t have to pay for more heat to make the temperature in the room comfortable for me.‎ Another idea came to me on one of those winter days when it’s still cold outside but the sun heats up the inside of the car so much that you put the window down. On sunny winter days, I raised the blinds(百叶窗)to let some of that warmth come through the windows. Letting that sun in has a benefit beyond helping to heat my house. In a long winter, those occasional bright rays ‎ also boost my spirits. It’s not as good as a trip to Florida, but definitely cheaper.‎ ‎28. Why did the woman complain?‎ A. She was short of money B. She felt cold in her house.‎ C. She lacked enough clothes. D. She paid too much for heating.‎ ‎29. Which can replace the underlined word “draft” mean?‎ A. air B. smoke C. sunlight D. natural gas ‎30. Which is the author’s way of keeping warm on sunny winter days?‎ A. Opening windows B. putting blinds on C. staying in a heated car. D. Having a trip in Florida ‎31. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To introduce new technologies.‎ B. To give some simple suggestions.‎ C. To persuade people to be economical.‎ D. To show the importance of energy saving.‎ D ‎ Greyhound racing is the sixth most popular spectator sport in the United States. Over the last decade, a growing number of racers have been adopted to spend their retirement as household pets, once their racing careers are over.‎ ‎ Many people hesitate to adopt a retired racing greyhound because they think only very old dogs are available. Actually, even champion racers only work until they are about three-and-a-half years old. Because greyhounds usually live to be 12 to 15 years old, their retirement is much longer than their racing careers.‎ ‎ People worry that a greyhound will be more nervous and active than other dogs and will need a large space to run. These are false impressions. Greyhounds have naturally sweet, mild characters, and while they love to run, they are sprinters rather than distance runners and are sufficiently exercised with a few daily jumps around a fenced-in backyard.‎ ‎ Greyhounds tend to be a little more sensitive in their stomachs and sometimes come to rescue organizations with dental problems. The dogs may also get separation anxiety, but because they are used to being kept in a cage, the results of anxiety can be contained. They’re so gentle. If you want a low-energy dog, they’re the right dog.‎ Greyhounds do not make good watchdogs, but they are very good with children, get along well with other dogs(and usually cats as well), and are affectionate and loyal. They are intelligent, well-behaved dogs, usually housebroken in only a few days. A retired racing greyhound is a wonderful pet for almost anyone.‎ 32. How long is a greyhound’s racing career normally?‎ A. 12 to 15 years. B. 3.5 to 12 years.‎ C. longer than 15. D. shorter than 3.5.‎ 33. Which is needed for raising a greyhound? ‎ A. Enough room to run. B. A large cage to keep it.‎ C. Good care of its stomachs. D. More exercise than other dog.‎ 34. Which best describes a character of a greyhound?‎ A. It is easy-going. B. It is terribly anxious.‎ C.It is always anxious. D. It is physically active.‎ 35. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Help Homeless Racing Greyhounds B. Ways of Training Racing Greyhounds C. Adopt Retired Racing Greyhounds as Pets D. How to Get Along with Racing Greyhounds 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。‎ If you want to improve your life, sooner or later you need to step out of your comfort zone. Here are some helpful ideas.‎ Face your fears. What holds us back in our zone of comfort is often a fear. 36 ‎ Fill your mind with positive memories. 37 Think back to the previous times when you have broken out of your comfort zone. Focus on the positive memories, when you got out there, when you took a chance. And it wasn’t so bad. It was actually fun and exciting.‎ ‎ 38 One common way to move out of comfort zone is to do something new. But a more interesting choice might be doing something strange. When you choose something new you may choose something that is in line with your character. 39 Instead, choose something that’s out of character for you. Something that the people close to you wouldn’t think that you would do.‎ ‎ 40 Probably this is the most popular way to get yourself out of comfort zone. If you have decided to start going to the gym, it might be easier to actually get going and keeping going there every week if you have a gym-partner.‎ A. Take a friend with you.‎ B. Try something unusual.‎ C. Use your previous experiences.‎ D. So your experiences can become limited.‎ E. This can overcome quite a bit of your fear.‎ F. Realize it can be fun to get out of your comfort zone.‎ G. Facing it straight allows us to stretch the comfort zone slowly.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分50分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题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。 ‎ Singing led to a small invention that has been a big help to millions of help.‎ Art Fry sang in a choir(合唱团).
