Passengers should hold on tight – the railroad climbs almost 278 meters in just 32 kilometers. Completion date: July 29, 1900.‎ Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE The Burj Khalifa reaches a height of 828 meters and is both the tallest building in the world and the tallest free-standing structure in the world. Engineers faced many challenges, including the strong winds that batter the tower. Because of this, over 40 wind tunnel tests were conducted, not just to determine how the wind would affect the building but also to test the cranes(起重机，吊车) used to construct it. Completion date: January 4, 2010.‎ Trans-Siberian Railroad, Russia ‎ The Trans-Siberian Railroad connects Moscow and Eastern Russia with Japan, China and Mongolia. Northern Siberia isn’t the easiest landscape to cross, which is what makes the 8,851-kilometer Trans-Siberian railway so impressive. Engineers had to design a railway that was capable(能够) of operating in temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius. The railway travels through eight time zones, 87 towns and cities and crosses 16 major rivers. Some 90,000 people helped construct the railway, which took 10years to build. Completion date: 1904.‎ ‎21. What can we learn about the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad?‎ A. It is 278 kilometers long. B. It was built on gold flatlands.‎ C. It was constructed during the Klondike Gold Rush. ‎ D. It was financed by the local government.‎ ‎22. The underlined word “batter” in the text can be replaced by “__________”.‎ A. hit B. defend C. remove D. protect ‎ ‎23. Which of the following is TRUE about the Trans-Siberian Railroad?‎ A. It is a railway in Eastern Russia. B. It was started in the early 20th century. ‎ C. It was built by Russia, Japan and China. D. It passes through some extreme(极端) areas. ‎ B ‎ Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in appearance but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.‎ ‎ My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat.‎ ‎ I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).‎ ‎ But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.‎ ‎ My son , with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The lost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.‎ ‎ These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.‎ ‎ I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.‎ ‎ My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.‎ ‎24. What used to be the author’s hope for his son?‎ A. To avoid becoming his clone ] B. To be like him in appearance C. To reach the author’s unachieved goals D. To develop in a different direction ‎25. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that .‎ A. His son had the ability to fix it B. it wouldn’t cause him any more loss C. it would save him much time D. other motorheads would come to help ‎26. In the author’s eyes, motorheads are .‎ A. cheerful and smart B. tidy and hardworking C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude ‎27. What did the author realize in the end?‎ A. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers B. It is important for one to make the honor roll C. Architects play a more important role than builders D. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path C ‎ Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English ruler tried to conquer(占领) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, In the north, is part of the united kingdom. The republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.‎ In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.‎ For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in ‎ factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.‎ The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly, Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.‎ ‎28. What does the author tell us in paragraph 1? ‎ ‎ A. How the Irish fought against the English.        B. How Ireland gained independence.‎ C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.     D. How two ”Irelands” came into being.‎ ‎29. We learn from the text that in Ireland_____.‎ A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline(下降) in population.‎ B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside.‎ C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker.‎ D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments.‎ ‎30. The last paragraph is mainly about____。‎ A. the Irish character   B. Irish culture   ‎ C. Irish musical instruments    D. a famous Irish writer ‎31. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Life in Ireland B. A Very Difficult history ‎ C. Ireland, past and present D. The Independence of Ireland D Sweet or salty? What kind of tastes do you like? If like me, you have a sweet tooth and you probably can’t resist(抵抗) eating cakes, biscuits or chocolate and will sweeten your tea or coffee with spoonfuls of sugar-delicious! But the taste makes it very easy to ignore the warnings that too much of the white stuff（东西）is bad for our health.‎ Consuming(消耗) sugar is an addiction-the more we eat, the more we want. Today’s processed food, like ready meals, is related to the stuff and many fizzy(起泡的)drinks contain seven teaspoons of sugar in just one can. In the UK, statistics show that sugar consumption is at its ‎ highest level in history and the government is trying to get the food industry to cut the amount of sugar in popular products like chocolate bars by 20% by 2020.‎ ‎ Of course, sugary food tastes nice, it can help lift our mood, and a part in it can refresh us. But there are dangers too: a high-sugar diet is linked to putting on weight, and being overweight can increase the risk of getting type 2 diabetes(糖尿病). With these warning signs, I have considered changing my diet by replacing sugary snacks with fruit and salty biscuits-but that’s boring!‎ ‎ I’m not alone. BBC journalist Radhika Shanghani, has gone one step further. Encouraged by some well-knowns and nutritionists promoting a ‘zero tolerance’ (零容忍)approach to sugar, she gave it up altogether, thinking it would make her healthier. Initially(首先, 起初) she says, “My first fortnight(两周) involves mood swings. I have disturbing headaches and feel permanently hung-over.” These symptoms disappeared but she still found food shopping hard as she was stressing about buying the right things.‎ Her experiment wasn’t a success. She eventually sought advice from Susan Jebb, professor of diet and population health at Oxford University who said: “Lots of people enjoy sugar and gain pleasure from it, so one has to find a balance between enjoyment and eating the right amount.”‎ ‎32. What is a person with a sweet tooth most likely to do?‎ A. Reject sweet cakes. B. Have his coffee black.‎ C. Add sugar to his drinks. D. Remember the harm of sweet food.‎ ‎33. What can we infer from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs?‎ A. Sugar consumption is all bad for us. ‎ B. Processed food contains no sugar.‎ C. People in UK tend to consume less sugar. ‎ D. Chocolate bars are popular with the British.‎ ‎34. Why does the author want to change his diet?‎ A. To avoid being overweight. B. To quit his boring life.‎ C. To enjoy sugar-free food. D. To cheer himself up.‎ ‎35. What can we learn about the BBC journalist?‎ A. She replaced her usual diet with salty biscuits.‎ B. She promoted a balance between joy and pressure.‎ C. She reduced her sugar consumption successfully.‎ D. She suffered some side effects from eating no more sugar.‎ 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。‎ Compared with being rich, it is much better to live rich, that is, to ensure your limited time on this planet is spent realizing your full potential(潜力). 36 ‎ ‎1. Understand the give-and-take.‎ It may seem more selfless to be a giver, but it is also a gift to be a receiver. Plants and animals work together by breathing out the chemicals necessary for the other to breathe in. Understanding this universal truth helps you appreciate the moment you’re in.‎ ‎2. Focus on your smile.‎ The world reacts to you based on your looks and actions. 37 It can help you get more positive results in life. No matter what is going on in your life, focusing on smiling will improve your day.‎ ‎3. 38 ‎ You can’t expect to win when you’re simply playing not to lose. The difference in your way of thinking matters a lot. So imagine yourself as a champion. That is how the day will play out.‎ ‎4. Shake it off.‎ Not everyone can win every time, no matter what all those medals we hand out may indicate. 39 Learn from it; then, move on. If you’re still alive, you have another shot.‎ ‎5. Give back to others.‎ There is no problem with wanting to create wealth. 40 Never forget that the only reason you have money is because someone gave it to you.‎ A. Play to win.‎ B. Act in the face of fear.‎ C. Here are five steps to living rich.‎ D. Who you choose to be is up to you.‎ E. When you lose, don’t get stuck with self-pity.‎ F. A smile goes a long way towards relaxing people.‎ G. But it’s important to spread that wealth and use it to help others. ‎ 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。‎ I went to complete some incomplete business this afternoon.
