I want to thank Principal Morrow and the entire ESS community for welcoming me so enthusiastically.‎ Walk to School Day is a great opportunity for me to spend time with parents, kids, and teachers and to present our Safe Routes to School program and the First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative（倡议）.‎ As a father, grandfather and former schoolteacher, I know how important it is that we provide students with safe choice to get to school while promoting exercise and healthy lifestyles. That’s why I’ve embraced the Safe Routes to School program so wholeheartedly since I became Secretary of Transportation.‎ You know, we’re looking at an increasingly sedentary（久坐的）generation of children. One out of every three kids in America is now overweight. And I admire the First Lady’s effort to end this within a generation. Safe Routes to School is a natural partner for Let’s Move. For more than 10 years, Safe Routes to School has been making it easier for students to walk and bike from home to school. And ESS, where I walked today, is one of the earliest schools to participate.‎ We know this program has been enormously effective because of the steady increase in the number of kids walking or biking to school. And as we made our way down the street this morning I was reminded yet again of this program’s extraordinary work.‎ Look, walking and biking to school is good for students’ health. It’s good for thee environment. And it’s good for the entire community’s quality of life.‎ Everybody wins when kids take Safe Routes to School.‎ ‎21. We can learn from the text that Michelle Obama ________.‎ A. organized Safe Routes to School B. set up Walk to School Day C. first suggested the program Let’s Move D. joined Walk to School Day with kids ‎22. Safe Routes to School is effective because ________.‎ A. it makes Walk to School Day popular with children B. it reduces the number of children who are overweight C. it makes it easier for students to walk and bike from home to school D. it stops the number of children walking or biking to school from dropping ‎23. The text is most probably taken from ________.‎ A. a diary B. a public speech C. a news report D. an advertisement B In recent years, remote-sensing technologies have become ordinary in archaeological fieldwork（实地考察）. Such tools for excavation produce rapid results and cause no damage to archaeological sites. They are highly accurate and usually cost effective. Here are three of the modern archaeologist’s most trusted remote-sensing tools.‎ As the simplest of the remote-sensing techniques that archaeologists use, aerial ‎（空中的）photography allows experts to see aspects of a site that may be invisible from the ground, such as the way in which something such as a town, garden, or building is arranged and traces of old walls and roads. The technique involves taking photographs with conventional cameras and filming from airplanes, helicopters, hot-air balloons, or other airborne vehicles.‎ Geographic Information System (GIS) contains a large amount of field data archaeologists typically collect in and around excavation sites. While in the field, archaeologists use GIS on their computers to make and manage detailed site maps, and they can combine the results of remote-sensing tests with maps of the region created with the aid of Global Positioning System. Resulting maps sort the most archeologically promising areas and display these sites three-dimensionally.‎ Ranging in size from small handled models that one places against the ground to larger ones that one across a site, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices use low-power radio waves to detect changes underground. Unlike traditional radar, which broadcasts into the air and uses a dish to focus the returned waves, GPR uses a small but sensitive receiver placed directly against the ground. Depending on their needs, archaeologists can adjust radio frequencies upward for shallow sites or downward for deeper areas, though GPR devices produce the greatest definition（清晰度）when reading depths of three feet or less.‎ ‎24. We can learn from the text that the remote-sensing tools ________.‎ A. have been widely and efficiently used in archeology B. help archeologists discover more archaeological sites C. will replace traditional archeological tools D. are more difficult to use than traditional tools ‎25. Aerial photography is helpful ________.‎ A. in reflecting the changes of an archaeological site B. in taking large-sized photos of an archeological site C. in seeing what can’t be seen on the ground D. in analyzing how old an archeological site is ‎26. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices as different from traditional radar in that ________.‎ A. GRP devices can detect changes underground B. the length of waves they send out is different C. traditional radar uses low-power radio waves D. their sizes are completely different ‎27. Archeologists can get a detailed site map by ________.‎ A. Global Positioning System B. Geographic Information System C. Ground Penetrating Radar D. aerial photography C It may sound strange, but cutting down a real tree for Christmas is actually greener than going with the artificial kind, one scientist says.‎ ‎“It is a little confusing to people,” said Clint Springer, a biologist at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. Because of concerns over deforestation（砍伐森林）around the world, many people naturally worry that buying a real tree might contribute to that problem. But most Christmas trees for sale these days are grown not in the forest but on tree farms for the purpose of being cut.‎ Moreover, from the viewpoint of greenhouse gases, real trees are “the obvious choice”. Live trees actively release oxygen as they grow, and meanwhile remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. After they have been cut and Christmas is over, they’re usually cut into smaller pieces for mulch（覆盖物）. As mulch, the bits of tress very slowly release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. So in the end, a real Christmas tree is carbon neutral, putting the same amount of carbon dioxide back into the air as it took out (although much more slowly).‎ The tree farms that grow the trees also replant after the trees are cut. Artificial trees, on the other hand, don’t come out even in the carbon balance. Petroleum（石油）is used to make the plastics in artificial trees and lots of carbon dioxide-creating energy is required to make and transport them. Because these trees just end up in the places where waste is buried under the ground after use, “those greenhouse gases are lost forever,” Springer said.‎ ‎28. The author presents the text mainly by ________.‎ A. listing figures B. making comparisons C. giving descriptions D. analyzing different opinions ‎29. Real trees for Christmas are better than artificial trees probably because ________.‎ A. real trees cost buyers less money B. real trees are more beautiful C. real trees don’t cause any pollution D. real trees can be used for a longer time ‎30. The underlined part “carbon neutral” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “________”.‎ A. causing much waste B. releasing carbon dioxide C. not releasing more carbon D. absorbing carbon dioxide ‎31. The purpose of the text is to tell us ________.‎ A. how to choose artificial Christmas trees B. how to spend a much greener Christmas C. the reasons for using real trees for Christmas D. the environmental protection tips for Christmas D Among the most popular forms of dieting is the South Beach diet, developed by Arthur Agatston of Miami, Florida. Dr. Agatston developed the South Beach diet for his patients with heart problems to lose weight. Since weight matters a lot in keeping heart healthy and traditional low-fat diets were too difficult for them to stick to, Dr. Agatston decided to create a plan that could help his patients. At first, the diet was just for his patients. Soon, thanks to his patients’ success, the diet became the buzz in Miami, and eventually, word spread across the nation.‎ This diet focuses on a healthy balance between carbohydrates（碳水化合物）and fats. It is based on eating a combination of “good” carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those “bad” ones. It is divided into three different phases.‎ The first phase lasts for two weeks and is the strictest of the three. During this phase, you are asked to restrict（限制）all carbohydrates (good and bad). You are allowed to eat all types of fish, cheeses, eggs, and nuts, and a large number of vegetables. Most dieters can expect to lose between 8 and 12 pounds during this phase.‎ During Phase 2, you are allowed to reintroduce some of those carbohydrates that are not allowed before. You are encouraged to start eating carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index（升糖指数）. But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation（适度）. Most people continue to lose 1-2 pounds per week. You continue with this phase until you reach your target weight.‎ Phase 3 is designed to help you keep your weight. During Phase 3, you can reintroduce some of the carbohydrates that have a higher glycemic index, although again, this should be in moderation. Phase 3 is meant to be a way of life.‎ ‎32. The text is mainly about ________.‎ A. a plan to keep heart healthy B. a popular form of dieting C. how to keep healthy through 3 phases D. how to lose weight more quickly ‎33. What does the underlined part “the buzz” in the first paragraph probably mean?‎ A. a useful activity. B. widely spread news. C. a daily hobby. D. a loud noise.‎ ‎34. During Phase 1, you are advised to ________.‎ A. have some carbohydrates B. eat a smaller amount of food C. eat a variety of food except carbohydrates D. have carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index ‎35. According to the passage, we may not infer that ________.‎ A. The South Beach diet can help people to lose weight in a systematic way.‎ B. Carbohydrates are usually forbidden in other weight-loss diets.‎ C. The South Beach diet is much easier to stick to than traditional low-fat diets.‎ D. The South Beach diet was designed exclusively for Dr. Agatston’s patients at first.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ A strong memory depends on the health and vitality（活力）of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 36 .‎ Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 37 ‎ Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.‎ Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38 .‎ Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.‎ Have a laugh. 39 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.‎ ‎ 40 Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.‎ A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.‎ B. Play games with memory.‎ C. Laughter is the best medicine.‎ D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.‎ E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!‎ F. You have to shake things up from time to time!‎ G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。‎ Having been walking in the snow for 2 hours, Little Buddy was really tired and frustrated.
