A year-long celebration is planned for Grand Central Terminal, which is usually called Grand Central station, the sixth most-visited place in the world.‎ The huge building has not changed much since it opened in February, 1913. About 750,000 people pass through Grand Central every day. Some just come to look at it, others to visit the stores. But most are there to catch the trains that enter and leave from the station. It is the largest train station in the world. There are 67 train tracks, all of them underground.‎ The main part of the building has large, arched windows, a jeweled four-sided clock and ticket windows. Grand Central has been seen in many movies through the years. Dan Brucker is with the New York Transit Authority, which operates the station. Dan Brucker has worked for the transit authority at Grand Central for 30 years. In all those years, he has not lost his interest in the building.‎ Justin Ferate, a historian, has been giving tours of Grand Central Station for 30 years. He says the station was designed to make travel a pleasure.‎ ‎“Why people don't run into each other in Grand Central is simple: each block of stone in Grand Central is the length of your leg. Each block of stone in Grand Central is the length of your arm. Each block of stone is a different color, so it’s a checkerboard, based on you.” ‎ A ten-year-long fight against plans to build a huge office building over Grand Central in 1968 helped create the modern preservation（保护） movement. Now, no one would think of changing the beauty of the station.‎ ‎31. How long has Grand Central been in service ?‎ A. For 30 years. B. For 10 years. C. For 45 years. D. For a century.‎ ‎32.

In the eastern part, most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red, or even yellow coats. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. Even in the same litter(胎), both brown and black furred bears may be born.‎ ‎ Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell. Like all bears, the black bear is timid and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb trees or cover ground at great speed. When angry or frightened, they are formidable(可怕的) enemies.‎ ‎ Black bears feed on leaves, roots, fruit, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike squirrels and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually sleep through the winter months. Although the bear does not eat during the winter months, sustaining(维持) itself from body fat, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.‎ ‎ Most black bears live alone, except during the mating(交配) season. They prefer to live in caves. Baby black bears are born in January or February after a gestation(怀孕) period of six to nine months, and they stay with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in some nature reserves. ‎ ‎36.

For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.‎ Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.‎ On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.‎ Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.‎ ‎41. What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?‎ A. Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty.‎ B. Local people lose jobs. ‎ C. A lot of hotels are built. ‎ D. Too many tourists cause traffic problems.‎ ‎42.What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?‎ A. Make plans properly. ‎ B. Help the country’s economy.‎ C. Build fewer hotels. ‎ D. Advance the well-being of local people. ‎ ‎43. If tourism grows too quickly, ___________.‎ A. businesses will lose money ‎ B. other parts of the country’s economy will make more money ‎ C. local people will be happier D. more local people will work for tourists. ‎ ‎44. Support facilities needed by tourist attractions includes ___________.‎ ‎①public places ②hotels ③airports ④roads ⑤electricity ⑥sewers ‎ A. ①②③④⑤ B. ②③④⑤⑥ C. ①②③⑤⑥ D. ①③④⑤⑥‎ ‎45. If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________.‎ A. whether people need to build more hotels ‎ B. whether people need to plan tourism properly ‎ C. how to deal with the problems above ‎ D. how to prevent tourism growing too quickly ‎ 第II 卷 非选择题 （共51分）‎ 四、填空（共16小题；每小题1分，满分16分）‎ A)根据括号中所给的汉语写出英文单词，使句子意思完整正确。‎ ‎46.

If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen. The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.‎ The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.‎ So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.‎ Title: Relationship Between Age and 62 ‎ The elements of the survey Time: 2008‎ Place: in the United States ‎ Researcher: Arthur Stone and his 63 ‎ Targets: 340,000 adults The 64 of the survey l Generally people become happier and feel 65 worried after age 50. By the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.‎ l Adults between the ages of 22 and 25 have the 66 stress. ‎ l The kids and those in their early 67 feel the happiest.‎ l Men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women feel sadder, more 68 and worried than men do.‎ Conclusion Happiness 69 with age. That’s because people ‎ become more thankful for what they have and control their emotions 70 as they get older. It also 71 them less time to think about bad experiences.‎ B) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。‎ The development of the English language took a giant step in 1607. Three small British ships c 72 the Atlantic Ocean. They began to call areas of their new land by words borrowed from the native people. For example, many of the great r 73 in the United States are taken from American Indian words. The Mississippi, the Tennessee, the Missouri are examples. This borrowing or adding of foreign words to English was a w 74 of expanding（扩大）the language. The names of three days of the week are good examples of this. The people from Northern Europe honored three gods with a special day each week. The gods were Odin, Thor and Freya. Odin’s-day became Wednesday in English, Thor’s-day became T 75 and Freya’s-day became Friday. Experts cannot explain many English words. For h 76 of years, a dog was called a “hound.” The word is still u 77 but not as commonly as the word “dog.” English speakers just started using it. Other words whose origins are unknown i 78 “fun,” “bad,” and “big.” English speakers also continue to invent n 79 words by linking old words together. A good example is the words “motor” and “hotel.” Many years ago ‎ s 80 linked them together into the word “motel.” A motel is a small hotel near a road where people travelling in cars can stay for the night. Other words come from the f 81 letters of names of groups or devices. For example, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is usually called NATO. ‎ 六、书面表达(满分15分)‎ 过马路闯红灯近年来已成为社会关注的热点话题，请结合下面的一则报道和图片。写篇英语小短文，词数在100字左右。短文应包含以下几个方面：‎ ‎1. 简单描述图片内容；‎ ‎2. 谈谈你对此类行为的感受或看法。‎ ‎3. 提出解决此类问题的合理建议；‎ ‎（参考词汇：run a red light ,be punished, build more footbridges / underpasses, keep orders） ‎ 注意：‎ ‎1、语言通顺，意思连贯，书写规范；‎ ‎2、文中不得出现真实的人名和校名。‎ A Report from People’s Daily ‎"Chinese style of crossing the road" is a ridicule(调侃)used by the net friend.

It is generally believed that as long as we cross the road together, no car dares to hit us. Here is one of the excuses given by a pedestrian (行人).‎ ‎ Reporter：You know, you can’t run a red light, can you?‎ Pedestrian：No, I can’t.‎ Reporter：But why did you do that just now?‎ Pedestrian：I am in a hurry.

The harm for this is that the cars would not expect the people walking across the street while the red light, and may even cause accidents. ‎ There may be different reasons in different people.
