The initial report had come around noon on a recent Saturday via a call to the hotline of Volunteers for Wildlife, an organization where I am a board member. I got to the spot first and, no surprise no opossum. People unaccustomed to seeing nocturnal (夜间的) animals during the day often think that the animals are in trouble. Although the callers are well-intentioned, sometimes the animal is neither in trouble nor a threat. When Giacomo, a trooper, drove up, he said the opossum had been spotted farther south and we proceeded south on the grass while steady traffic flew by in the other direction! Then I finally saw the grayish opossum sitting unsteadily at the top of the highway divider, obviously frightened and only a few feet from certain death on each side. The animal was frozen in place, shaking. Its dark eyes looked straight down. Giacomo, turned on his car’s flashing lights, drove south a few hundred yards farther on the grass-and very carefully turned into the oncoming traffic, which came to a stop behind him. Then he drove slowly ahead, with the cars at a crawl behind him. I grabbed my net and towel, put on my Kevlar gloves and slowly approached my frightened creature. I dropped the net over him, threw a towel over that to make sure the animal stayed on my side of the highway divider, and then grabbed it. The opossum protested with a few attempts to bite my hand, but I imagined it was relieved to get off the divider. I placed it on the road to check for any injury, but as soon as I lifted the net, the opossum was off like s shot toward the roadside, heading for the safety of the trees. It was a shared moment of joy. I followed the opossum as it disappeared into the woods and smiled. 24. What can we learn about the calls to the hotline? A. They usually offer no help. B. They usually cause trouble. C. They often shock the volunteers. D. They sometimes give false information. 25. What was the opossum like when the author spotted it? A. It was in great danger. B. It was extremely weak. C. It got injured in the eye. D. It was shaking with anger. 26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. The net. B. The gloves C. The opossum. D. The divider. 27. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event? A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s humorous C. It’s beautiful. D. It’s discouraging. C If you are a fruit grower-or would like to become one-take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see: and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans, Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, just like the knobbly ( 多疙瘩的) Cats Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards ( 果 园 ). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent. 28. What can people do at the apple events? A. Attend experts1 lectures. B. Visit fruit-loving families. C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D. Taste many kinds of apples. 29. What can we learn about Decio? A. It is a new variety. B. It has a strange look. C. It is rarely seen now. D. It has a special taste. 30. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. A vain hope. B. A practical idea. C. A brilliant plan. D. A selfish desire. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show how to grow apples. B. To introduce an apple festival. C. To help people select apples. D. To promote apple research. D If you’re DIY-minded, you can build your own solar power system. In some cases, you can even build your own solar panels, although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very rewarding-learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how electricity is generated. Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once you’ve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cells. You’ll need to drill holes in the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your solar cells together. This requires some experience for electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that becomes damaged or is not operating properly. At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with inverter (转换器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into alternating current (AC) power used in most electronic devices. 32. What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in paragraph 1? A. It is easy. B. It is necessary. C. It is worthwhile. D. It is common. 33. What’s the first step of building your own solar panel? A. Buy individual solar cells. B. Drill holes in the wooden board. C. Prepare the backing for your panel. D. Master the advanced knowledge of science. 34. Why are solar cells connected to the wooden board separately? A. To produce more power. B. To replace damaged cells easily. C. To attach cells to the backing tightly. D. To pass through the wooden board easily. 35. What can be inferred from the text? A. A wooden board is a must for your own solar panels. B. A functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly. C. How to pair an inverter depends on how much power you want to power. D. People with electrical skills have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels. 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。 Today we eat on the go, at our desks and even in front of computers.

Starting at the table, the movement promotes an unhurried way of life founded on the idea that everyone has a right to cooking pleasur, and that everyone must also take responsibility to “protect the heritage of food, tradition and culture that make this celebration of the senses possible”, wrote The Phnom Penh Post. “ 39 . It means turning down the speed at which we eat and increasing the amount of time we spend dining together with other people,” Althea Zanecosky, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, told The Huffmgton Post. “ 40 Dinner table conversations keep families together,” noted the Belgian non-profit organization Greenfudge. A. It is a way to bring back the social togetherness of yesterday. B. It seems that we have adapted our foods to our fast-paced lives. C. So the Slow Food Movement has occurred against this fast-food trend. D. Slow Food doesn’t necessarily mean food that takes a long time to cook. E. It is based on the idea that we should spend as much time as possible on cooking. F. It’s not only the food itself but also the time we spend dining together that matters. G. At that time, he asked people to follow a more sustainable living model. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） Though it had been a bad day in the early morning, I thought work had to be done.

I can honestly say that my answer 61 that question has changed dramatically (戏剧性 地) since I became a parent. Before the birth of my daughter I taught at a private school, often 62 (view) my students as over-protected, worrying 63 would happen to them when they went on to middle schools. Some did fine, and some did not. Some needed constant pats on the back, words of encouragement and extra support, which I 64 (happy) gave. Others 65 (satisfy) with themselves, needing little or no interaction with their teacher. 66 for the most part, graduates would go on for higher schooling. I’d always taken it for granted 67 their parents were over-protective, for they were the ones that still walked their 68 (five) graders into the classroom and met them at the school gate. Admittedly, I laughed at those parents, thinking their children would never learn to be 69 (independence) if they didn’t let go just a little. Then I had my own daughter. The moment I looked at her little face, I knew I’d do everything in my power 70 (protect) her and make sure she always felt safe! 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节 短文改错（10 分） 下面文中共有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或 修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 Last summer, I got a part-time job like a waiter. I worked hard and was very helpful. Everyone in the restaurant including some regular customer liked me. One day, a foreign couple, which were in their fifties, entered the restaurant. I was happy to have a chance practise my spoken English. I went up to greet them warm. After I take their order, I told them their food would be served quickly because us Chinese respect the elderly. Hearing my words, a look of displeasure was appeared on the wife’s face. Seeing my confusing look, her husband explained to me the westerners disliked the description “old”.

During the basketball game yesterday afternoon, Li Hua and Wang Wei bumped into each other trying to catch the ball. Then they started yelling at each other and it turned into a horrible quarrel. To be honest it was Li Hua’s fault but Wang Wei was also to blame-they were not calm enough and both said some really mean things. They cared too much about winning and losing. As a matter of fact, blocking, pushing and bumping are just part of a tough game. To avoid such conflicts, I think we should be kind to one another. Don’t be self-centered and try to be considerate. Should any conflicts occur, we must learn to handle calmly and wisely. (126 words)
