A politician who warns to enter politics.‎ B ‎ In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.‎ The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.‎ It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.‎ Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.‎ People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.‎ ‎24. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.‎ A. want to be as rich as their neighbors B. want others to know or to think that they are rich C. don’t want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy ‎25. It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to ________.‎ A. live outside New York City B. live in New York city C. live in apartments D. have many neighbors ‎26. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is _____.‎ A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States C. his neighbor’s name D. not a good name ‎27. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.‎ A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good ‎ ‎ C ‎ Australia has promised to introduce the most comprehensive （全面的） carbon trading program outside Europe in 2010. The government in Canberra plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least five percent by 2020, but it could make bigger reductions if other countries agree to tougher targets. ‎ The Australian government warns that without tough environmental measures the country could lose key industries and jobs. Climate Change Minister Penny Wong says the economy is under threat and decisive action is needed.‎ Central to the government’s climate change plan is a carbon emissions trading program that will be introduced within two years. It would involve one thousand of the nation’s biggest companies and would cover about three-quarters of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. ‎ Many scientists believe that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, contribute to global warming. Many of them are released by burning fuels such as coal and oil.‎ Companies will be required to buy permits for each ton of carbon they emit, although big polluting exporters will receive up to 90 percent of their carbon licenses free.‎ Many business leaders want the government to delay the plan because of the current global financial crisis, which is slowing the Australian economy. Peter Anderson from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says it is irresponsible to bring in a carbon trading plan now.‎ Environmentalists, on the other hand, say Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has not properly addressed the threat of climate change. Activists had sought a minimum emissions cut of 25 percent. ‎ Instead, the Rudd government aims to cuts carbon emissions by at least five percent of 2000 levels by 2020. That amount could rise to 15 percent, if future global agreements set such a target.‎ Ray Nias of the environmental group WWF says Australia will pay the price for low targets. “This is a deeply, deeply disappointing target,” Nias said. “It commits Australia to long-term climate change. It will make Australia’s ability to negotiate (协商) global agreements very, very difficult. It is much lower than even we had imagined.”‎ Australia has one of the highest per-person greenhouse emissions rates in the world because of its reliance on coal for electricity.‎ Some scientists warn that the vast, dry Australian continent, which has been suffering a series of droughts in recent years, could be one of the region’s hardest hit by global warming.‎ ‎28.Which group supports to cut carbon emissions by at least 25%?‎ A. Environmentalists B. The government C. Business leaders D. Scientists ‎29.Who most probably agrees to a higher goal of carbon emissions?‎ A. Penny Wong B. Peter Anderson C. Kevin Rudd D. Ray Nias ‎30.Many business leaders are against the Australian program because________.‎ A. they believe the program will only benefit the big companies B. they believe the program will cause the global warming C. they don’t want to pay extra money for carbon emissions D. they don’t think carbon emission will surely cause the global warming ‎31.The underlined sentence means_________.‎ A. The Australian government will be blamed for the low target B. Australia will suffer a lot from climate change caused by carbon emissions C. The Australian government will have to spend lots of money on carbon emissions D. Many Australian companies will close down because of the low target D ‎ At thirteen,I was diagnosed with kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When people else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.‎ In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hard right away and said,“Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses,“you are no different from your classmates,young man.”‎ I tried,but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.‎ In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person,Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education.But Louis didn’t give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）,which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class,being made to learn like the “sighted” students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others;I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up?‎ I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”‎ ‎32. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because_______.‎ A. He was new to the class B. He was tried of literature C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home ‎33. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?‎ A. He had good sight. B. He made a great invention.‎ C. He gave up reading. D. He learned a lot from school.‎ ‎34. What was Mrs.Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A. Angry. B. Impatient. C. Sympathetic. D. Encouraging.‎ ‎35. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.‎ 第二部分 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。‎ Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is ly terrifying.   36  However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.‎ Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.‎ Undo your seatbelt.   37  Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.‎ ‎  38  Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.‎ Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.  39   ‎ Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.   40  While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.‎ A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.‎ B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.‎ C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.‎ D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.‎ E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.‎ F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.‎ G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.‎ 三.语言知识技能运用（共两节，共45分）‎ ‎【一】完形填空（每题1.5分，共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。‎ Many times we do something positive or say something kind, but we don’t see the influence it has on other people.
