But El Nino, meaning “little boy” in Spanish, could be about to cause trouble A recent statement from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned ofa strong El Nino event that may be similar to the strongest in modern times. Scientists believe that evidence shows a more than 90 percent chance that it is coming — and it’s going to be big. “If this lives up to its potential, this thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides（泥石流）, and trouble,” said Bill Patzert, a NASA scientist. El Nino is a climate event occurring in the Pacific Ocean. The wind usually blows strongly from east to west due to the rotation（旋转）of the Earth. This causes water to pile up in the Western Pacific and pulls up colder water from the boom in the eastern part. However, in El Nino years, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back toward the east. This warms the ocean as it travels before finally reaching the shores of North and South America. In an El Nino event, the waters of the eastern Pacific can be up to 4 degrees Celsius warmer than usual. Most El Ninos last from 9 to 12 months and their effects are felt around December. They don’t happen every year though, usually between every two to seven years. Last seen in 1997-98, El Nino caused severe droughts in Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as deadly floods in Peru and Ecuador. The world also heats up during an ElNino-1998 became the warmest year on record at the time. If the current trend continues, 2015 is almost certainly to become the hottest year yet again. A strong El Nino also affects hurricane seasons around the planet. The warmer the Eastern Pacific is, the more hurricanes it gets. The Western Pacific, on the other hand, tends to see more and stronger typhoons. The weather isn’t the only thing that’s affected. Warmer surface waters in the Eastern Pacific make the cold-water fish swim away and damage the fishing industry in much of Latin America. 25. What is the text mainly about? A. Extreme weather disasters ever. B. El Nino and its harmful effects. C. The hottest years ever in history. D. The strongest El Nino in history. 26. Which of the following statements is TRUE about El Nino? A. It results from hurricanes or typhoons in the oceans. B. It happens every two years and last about half a year. C. It is a weather phenomenon occurring in the Atlantic. D. It can cause extreme weather, such as floods and droughts. 27. During an EI Nino year, ________. A. the fishing industry in much of Latin America is likely to suffer B. the wind blows so strongly that it causes the water to pile up C. the more typhoons it experiences, the warmer the Western Pacific is D. the surface water in the Eastern Pacific usually gets colder than ever 28. El Nino in fact results from ________. A. a little Spanish child’s trick B. the natural rotating of the Earth C. an American expert’s prediction D. the weaker winds in the Pacific C Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers （ 制 造 商 ） with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site,Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it?” My Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big-box retailers especially—in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao. I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine. 29. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ________. A. its big size B. its low price C. its not charging small sellers D. its business-to-business service 30. We know from the passage that Alibaba ________. A. will continue to develop. B. charges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale. C. acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers. D. is of middle size among all the online sites. 31. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail. B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites. C. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover. D. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao. 32. What is the passage mainly about? A. Shopping online in China is TaoBao. B. How the author purchases online in China. C. Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. D. Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase in China. D I’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You’ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers. One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did. I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day. When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks. I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity（正直）, etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by. 33. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage? A. Taxicab drivers are dishonest. B. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows. C. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before. D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties. 34. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady? A. By giving her a call and visiting her. B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person. C. By advertising in the papers. D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days. 35. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. a time when a family has financial problems B. a day when it rains C. a day when the author can’t drive a taxi D. a time when the author has trouble with drunks 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。 Home on the Way People need homes: Children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers…have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. 36 Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do. Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with the service and attendants; 37 Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travel and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home. And how about keeping relationships while in transit 38 ; some send letters and postcards, or even photos；others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 39 Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. 40 , we can make the place we stay “home”. A. Hostels provide a clean and safe place to stay while you are traveling the world. B. others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely C. Backpackers in youth hostels may become good friends, even closer than siblings （兄弟姐妹）. D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time? E. No matter where you go to in the world, hotels are there, too. F. Some keep contact with their friends via the Internet. G. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节：完形填空（共 20 个小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 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。 I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors.
