A wheelchair user may need help to enter .‎ A. the House B. the garden C. the Visitors’ Centre D. the exhibition hall B On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication that severe weather was on its way – the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the presidential primary debate I had been watching to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.‎ No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. The wind began to roar through the house, most likely through blown-out windows and the door to our garage. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor, because the cupboard down there is underneath a brick staircase. ‎ I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place. ‎ ‎ As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch crashed into the door frame. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have hit us.‎ ‎ By the time I reached the cupboard, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the cupboard floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but at that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.‎ ‎ All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought ‎ he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”‎ ‎ Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “coverage” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. power B. description C. arrival D. delay ‎35. Which of the following sentences is NOT true about the passage?‎ A. There was not any symbol of the tornado’s coming.‎ B. A three-foot-long tree branch hit the couple.‎ C. Both of the couple couldn’t get into the cupboard floor.‎ D. Jimmy didn’t fly right out the back of the house.‎ ‎36. Why didn’t the wife feel pain?‎ A. Because she didn’t get any hurt when the storm hit.‎ B. Because she was too scared to feel pain.‎ C. Because she devoted all her strength to holding on to her husband.‎ D. Because she had reached the cupboard and she was safe.‎ ‎37. It can be inferred from the text that _________.‎ A. a presidential election was going on at that time.‎ B. it was the most severe tornado in Florida.‎ C. Jimmy had learned how to protect himself in a tornado from the movies.‎ D. their house suffered the most damage of the houses left standing.‎ C Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.‎ The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.‎ As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.‎ Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops — at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.‎ ‎“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around th e world live with every day.” ‎ ‎38. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?‎ ‎ A. Planting more trees in the streets. B. Covering the streets with white paint. ‎ ‎ C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops. D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners. ‎ ‎39. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?‎ ‎ A. How to make the city cooler. B. Where to wear a white shirt.‎ ‎ C. Why to coat the roads with black paint. D. When to cut off the electricity supply. ‎ ‎40. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?‎ ‎ A. Increasing the indoor activities. B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.‎ ‎ C. Making life easier and more comfortable. D. Reducing the number of cold days. ‎ ‎41. What’s the main idea of the passage? ‎ ‎ A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat. ‎ ‎ B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.‎ ‎ C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets. ‎ D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.‎ D Preventing obesity and smoking can save lives, but it doesn’t save money, reported researchers. “It was a small surprise, for it is against the common belief,” said Pieter Van Baal, who led the study. “But it makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more.”‎ The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up (累计) the most expensive health costs. But on average, healthy people lived 84 years. Smokers lived about 77 years, and obese people lived about 80 years. Smokers and obese people tended to have more heart disease than healthy people. Therefore in the long run, the thin and healthy group cost about $417, 000, from age 20 on. Smokers cost about $326, 000 and obese people $371, 000.‎ ‎“The result throws a bucket of cold water onto the idea, based on guesswork, that obesity is going to cost trillions of dollars,” said Patrick Basham, a professor of health politics. “If we’re going to worry about the future of obesity, we should stop worrying about its financial impact,” he said.‎ ‎“The benefits of obesity prevention may not be seen immediately in terms of cost saving in tomorrow’s budget, but there are long-term gains,” said Van Baal. “These are often immeasurable when it comes to people living longer and healthier lives.” In the meanwhile, he said that governments should recognize that successful smoking and obesity prevention programs mean that people will have a longer chance of dying of something more expensive later in life.‎ ‎“Lung cancer is a cheap disease to treat because people don’t survive very long. But if they are old enough to get Alzheimer’s (早老性痴呆症) one day, they may survive longer and cost more. We are not advising that governments stop trying to prevent obesity,” Van Baal said. “But they should do it for the right reasons.”‎ ‎42. Among middle-aged people, who may cost the health system most?‎ ‎ A. Those who are heavy smokers. B. Those who are overweight.‎ ‎ C. Those who are too thin. D. Those who are suffering from heart attacks.‎ ‎43. What can we know about the belief that obesity costs much?‎ ‎ A. It turns out to be incorrect. B. It comes from scientific study. ‎ ‎ C. It is based on medical evidence. D. It has changed over the past years.‎ ‎44. According to the text, governments prevent obesity for the purpose of _______.‎ ‎ A. reducing the risks of suffering cancer ‎ B. weakening obesity’s financial impact ‎ C. making sure of people’s long and healthy life ‎ D. reducing the money spent on medical programs ‎45. What would be the best title for this text?‎ ‎ A. Recent Medical Study Shows Truth about Health ‎ B. Preventing Obesity and Smoking May Cost More ‎ C. Obesity and Smoking Lead to Expensive Diseases ‎ D. Governments Change Attitude towards Obesity and Smoking 第二节 ‎（共5题, 每题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。 ‎ It’s 4 a.m. The clock ticks, the dog snores and you just stare. And you know you shouldn’t be staring – you should be sleeping! 46 , and it’s hard to fall asleep when you’re mad. ‎ So what do you do? The tips below might help you sleep easier. Here’s the advice of Eric Olson and Harneet Walia, two doctors from the Cleveland Clinic’s Sleep Disorders Center:‎ l Get out of bed When you lie awake in bed, you send yourself the wrong message. As Walia says, you’re basically training your body not to sleep in bed, but to lie there and not sleep. 47 . Olson puts it another way: “The longer we lie there and get frustrated in that environment, the more we come to expect it next time we’re there. 48 . ”So if you’re unable to sleep, slip into your bunny slippers and out of the room.‎ l Try relaxation techniques Use whatever relaxation tips you know to fight against this inappropriately timed wakefulness. __ _49____. You simply note the rising and falling of your breath, and focus on the parts of your body where you feel your breath, whether it’s in the lungs, tip of your nose or elsewhere.‎ l ‎_____50_____‎ Sometimes the sleeplessness arises from worry. Your brain is overworking, thinking about your bank account and the big meeting tomorrow. For people who consistently have trouble quieting the mind at night, Olson suggests trying to train your mind to think about those things at more appropriate times of the day.‎ A. Erase anxiety B. Figure out appropriate times C. Your mind can get used to that D. Try your favorite calming yoga pose E. You need to develop a regular sleep schedule F. We come to associate the bedroom with not sleeping well G. The frustration that you cannot go to sleep will make you feel angry 第二卷 非选择题部分 (满分55分)‎ 第一节 语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)‎ 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空（不多于3个词），并将答案填写在答题卡题号为51-60的相应位置上。‎ If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识别) those of 51 (great)and less importance.
