My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.‎ It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road，we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out，ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in color. Once home，we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel. We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex.‎ Sadly though，on the third day with us，it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realized it was broken. We rushed to the vet(兽医)，who said，“It's only a rabbit，I'll put it to sleep.”Our response was a very determined，“No way !”We found anther vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal.‎ After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with her front ‎ paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.‎ ‎24. Why did Johnny stop his car suddenly?‎ A. He noticed something in front of him. B. He came across a friend.‎ C. The headlights went out. D. His car broke down on the road.‎ ‎25. What happened to the little animal on its third day?‎ A. It slept on a door. B. It was stuck in a door. C. Its foot got seriously injured. D. It fell off from the top of a door.‎ ‎26. Which best describes the family’s attitude towards the rabbit?‎ A. Cruel. B. Hopeless. C. Considerate. D. Indifferent.‎ ‎27. What is the passage mainly intended to do?‎ A. To remember unusual experiences with a small rabbit.‎ B. To tell the importance of protecting small animals.‎ C. To persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully.‎ D. To make the rabbit widely known to local people by paper.‎ C I didn’t know I was unable to see the difference between some colors until I started school. I had been excited to start school and I loved everything except coloring. I hated picking out crayons. I never asked for a coloring book at the bookstore.‎ ‎ My parents didn’t question it. They just assumed it was not the thing I enjoyed and often joked about the fact that I was very smart but failed in my coloring test in preschool. That was true. One day I came home full of news about my new friend, Devon, who was tall, funny and green. After hearing what I said, my mom laughed it off at the time, assuming Devon must have been wearing a green shirt.‎ ‎ A few days later I attended my first flag football practice. My mom sat on the sideline watching as I learned for the first time the rules of football. I played with all my heart. At the end of the practice my new coach came up to my mom and me and told me what a good job I had done. When my dad called from work later that day to hear about my first football experience, I told him how the green coach had praised me. My mom began to question my problem with color after hearing my words.‎ The following day my mom accompanied me into the classroom to meet my "Martian" friend. When I pointed him out, my mom began to chuckle. She told me that he was brown, not green. Realizing my mistake, I smiled as well. Within a few days I was sitting in a doctor's office taking a color blindness exam and sure enough I tested positive. I was officially brown-green color blind.‎ Since then I have learned how to deal with color blindness by reading the names on the crayons or colored pencils. Most importantly, I have learned that the color doesn’t matter as long as I wake up each day and experience the wonders of brown grass and green tree trunks.‎ ‎28. What can we know about the author?‎ ‎ A. He couldn't tell some colors apart. B. He was very naughty at school.‎ ‎ C. He liked drawing very much. D. He often went to the bookstore . ‎ ‎29. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. His coach was green. B. His illness was serious.‎ C. His mom was aware of his problem. D. He had no concept of green and brown.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “chuckle” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Breathe deeply. B. Laugh quietly. C. Cry sadly. D. Sigh heavily. ‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Healing from Within B. Gratitude Regained C. My Wonderful School Life D. The Color of Gratitude ‎ D Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but — regardless of whether it is or isn’t — we won’t do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments（冠冕堂皇的承诺） to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.  　　Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming, and — without major technological breakthroughs — we can’t do much about it.  　　From 2003 to 2050, the world’s population is estimated to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world’s poor people to their present poverty and freeze everyone else’s living standards. With modest economic growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.  　　No government will adopt serious restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they’re “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. ‎ The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it. ‎ The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem, we’re helpless. ‎ ‎32. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? ‎ A. It does not cause the great environmental crisis. ‎ B. It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments. ‎ ‎ C. Very little will be done to bring it under control. ‎ D. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.‎ ‎33. According to the author’s understanding, what is Al Gore’s view on global warming?  A. It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of.  ‎ B. It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized. ‎ C. It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences. ‎ ‎ D. It is an area we actually have no knowledge about. ‎ ‎34. The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, ________.  A. politicians have started to do something to better the situation ‎ B. few nations have adopted strict measures to limit energy use ‎ ‎ C. reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming ‎ ‎ D. international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems ‎ ‎35. What is the message the author intends to convey? ‎ ‎ A. Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one. ‎ B. The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs. ‎ ‎ C. People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming. ‎ D. The final solution to global warming lies in new technology. ‎ 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。‎ ‎5 Delicious reasons to visit Pakistan Bordered by China, Afghanistan, Iran and India and with a population of more than 200 million people, it's no surprise that Pakistan is a country of geographical and linguistic diversity. 36 .‎ STARTERS These easy-to-make crispy, fried pies are a classic finger food served as a starter or a side dish.

Like most men I know, I have managed to have a 41 career and personal relationships 42 being lazy, selfish, rude or even bad-tempered.‎ I 43 my self-awareness on this front 44 to being raised by my strong and ‎ ‎ 45 single mother.   ‎ For nearly 16 years growing up, it was just the two of us. She raised an only son, with no money for vacations and brand-name 46 , much less paid childcare. 47 , when I was a kid, she worked primarily as a nanny, so she'd be home for me after school when I was young, and that meant she helped raise other kids as well.‎ I recently asked her whether she consciously thought about raising a good male and whether she had any guiding 48 or values that influenced how she 49 an only son. "Yes," she told me. "I wanted you to be the kind of person other people would like and 50 , because I wouldn't always be around, and you'd need other people to help you.

I still think about those 53 . Her guiding ‎ 54 included being sensitive, 55 , empathetic(察言观色的) and self-disciplined. And she also wanted to 56 "the best qualities of a spiritual life, if not any particular religion: kindness, being charitable."‎ Kids get into trouble when they have too much free time, my mom told me.

It is my honor to act as a tour guide for you this weekend. The details of the schedule are as follows.‎ We’ll have a wonderful hiking together.

Also, you’d better wear a pair of comfortable shoes.‎ Looking forward to seeing you and I believe we’ll have a good day.‎ ‎ Yours sincerely,‎ ‎ Li Hua
