B.It's hard to achieve one's dream.‎ C.Judge everything on your own. D.Practice makes perfect.‎ C Is your school good for the environment?‎ Being green wasn't easy for Kermit the Frog(a famous cartoon character)—but it is for a growing number of schools around the country.A "green" school is an environmentally friendly building that uses less energy by depending on earth's natural resources for heat,light,and power.Green schools have clean air,a lot of natural light,and renewable power sources.‎ New studies show that green schools are not only good for the environment,but good for you too!Kids in classrooms with a lot of daylight scored 25 percent higher on reading and math tests than students who studied in rooms with less natural light.Students in schools with more natural light took three to four fewer sick days than students exposed to artificial classroom lighting.The further study found that those students had less dental decay（龋齿）because they were exposed to more of the vitamin D produced by the sun.‎ The Willow School in N.J. is a school that was built as a green building in 2002.Parts of the building are made wholly from recycled materials.To help trap heat,for example,building workers filled the walls with material from old blue jeans instead of the traditional insulation（绝缘物）made of chemicals.Every classroom has skylights to allow most sunlight,and solar panels（太阳能电池板）line the south end of the building.It uses about 70 percent less energy than a non-green school.This helps the school cut down on high energy costs. ‎ Kate Burke Walsh,head of the Willow School,says,"Sunlight has an impact—you're happier."The clean,natural surroundings help both students and teachers "handle stress and stay relaxed and focused…it's a very calming atmosphere."‎ ‎29.The question asked in the first paragraph is used to .‎ A.show the writer's curiosity about your school B.care about the environment of your school C.expect readers to give a clear answer D.introduce the main topic of the passage ‎30.What is a green school like according to the passage? ‎ A.More trees are planted in the schoolyard. B.It makes full of natural resources.‎ C.No energy is wasted everywhere. D.The buildings are painted green.‎ ‎31.What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A.A student at a green school gets better grades. B.A green school absorbs more sunlight.‎ C.How can students benefit from a green school. D.How a green school is beneficial to the environment.‎ ‎32.What's the purpose of writing this passage?‎ A.To change people attitudes on green schools. B.To introduce the advantages of green schools.‎ C.To explain why green schools are popular. D.To persuade people to build green schools.‎ D Spell checks are turning us into a nation of idiots with a third of adults failing to reach the expected spelling ability of an 11-year-old child,a shocking study shows.‎ A survey involving 1,000 adults aged between 16 and 77 found that 67 percent would reach Level 4 in Standard Assessment Tests ( ASTs),while less than half (44 percent) would achieve Level 5.Fifteen percent of the adults tested even failed to reach Level 3,which is below Level 4—the expected level of children at age 11.Experts blamed the poor showing of the adults on the popularity of tools such as spell check and auto-correct,which both play an important role in modem-day living.‎ The study asked adults to complete Key Stage 2 spelling tests designed to judge the performance of children aged 10 and 11,as they reach the end of primary school.But the test spelled trouble for many of the adults tested.The study was charged by King Digital Entertainment,makers of popular mobile games such as Candy Crush.People taking part in the test were asked to spell 35 different words taken from SATs spelling papers from the past three years.In a test which imitated real exam conditions."Phenomenon" and "unnecessary" were among the words spelled wrong by more than half of those participants.Other words which fewer than half were able to spell included rhythmic (42 percent) and jewellery (49 percent) .‎ Susie Dent.Lexicographer（字典编纂者）and resident word expert on TV show Countdown,believed the results were partly down to the popularity of tools such as spell check and auto-correct.She said,"Tho result is disappointing. It suggests that the ability to spell is losing its importance in our daily lives.Modem tools like spell check and auto-correct encourage us to switch off from learning,leading to satisfaction or,at worst,indifference."‎ ‎33.What level should a pupil reach when he finishes primary school according to the author?‎ A.Leve1 2. B.Leve1 3. C.Leve1 4. D.Leve1 5.‎ ‎34.What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A.The popularity of tools such as spell cheek and auto-correct. ‎ B.The importance of spelling in our daily lives.‎ C.A modern communication tool like spell check. ‎ D.One third of adults' failing to reach the expected level for an 11.‎ ‎35.What's the best title for this passage?‎ A.Is automatic spelling check a disaster? B.Auto-correction inspire people to learn more.‎ C.Is adults' ability lower than children? D.How to improve your spelling levels.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分IO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。‎ Last week when I was reading at home,my younger sister rushed in and told me an old man was lying on the ground in front of our building.I immediately took my first-aid kit and ran downstairs.He was suffering a slight heart attack.And I performed CPR on him.Luckily,an ambulance came soon and he was taken to hospital.Later that day I was told by the hospital what I did helped rescue the old man's life.I was happy to hear that._36_There were many people who wanted to help around the old man then.Yet no one performed first aid on him as they hadn't attended a first-aid course.‎ ‎_37_Here are my reasons.‎ You can gain the knowledge,skills and confidence to act in an emergency.You never know when you might need them—you could be at home,at work,at school or on holiday.If you have the skills,you can act whenever you're needed.‎ ‎_38_For your family,your neighbors or the broader community,having more people with first-aid skills helps build a stronger and more harmonious community.‎ You can stay safe at work._39_With first-aid knowledge you can create a safe work environment and help meet your workplace's safety requirements.‎ It’s helpful to your future career.The first-hand experience you gain through learning first aid and using your skills could help you decide if you want to pursue a career in the health profession._40_‎ A.Yet at the same time I felt a bit sad.‎ B.I received a phone call from the hospital.‎ C.You can be a resource for your community.‎ D.Illness and injury can happen anywhere,anytime.‎ E.You can take first-aid courses in your community for free.‎ F.I think everyone should learn at least some basic first-aid techniques,which can be very vital.‎ G.It also shows your commitment to a career in the health profession when it comes to applying for jobs.‎ 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。‎ After my husband,Steven,arrived in Sydney on his own from India,he stayed in a hotel for a short time while _41_a house for me and our children.‎ During the first week of his_42_,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to_43_that his suit,case was gone.He was extremely worried_44_the suitcase had all his important papers,_45_his passport.‎ He reported the_46_to the police and then sat there,_47_and lonely in a strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of_48_all the paperwork organized again from a_49_country while trying to_50_in a new one.‎ Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to_51_my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the_52_.‎ My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family_53_all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of_54_papers.Her parents had carefully_55_them out,although they had found mainly foreign_56_on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new_57_number to a friend.‎ That family not only returned the important documents to us that day but also_58_our faith and_59_in people.
