Now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere. The following two graphs are adopted from the column of “City Information” on the webpage of Beijing Review.‎ Graph 1: Olympic Cities Air Quality Report City Date API Major Pollutant Air Quality Degree Quality Condition Beijing Sep. 8‎ ‎37‎ N/A Ⅰ Very good Qinhuangdao Sep. 8‎ ‎52‎ PM10‎ Ⅱ Good Qingdao Sep. 8‎ ‎68‎ PM10‎ Ⅱ Good Shanghai Sep. 8‎ ‎67‎ PM10‎ Ⅱ Good Shenyang Sep. 8‎ ‎88‎ PM10‎ Ⅱ Good Tianjin Sep. 8‎ ‎54‎ PM10‎ Ⅱ Good Graph 2: Chinese National Standard API Values Levels of health concern Colors When the API is in this range:‎ ‎...air quality conditions are:‎ ‎...as symbolized by this color:‎ ‎0 to 50‎ Very good Blue ‎51 to 100‎ Good Green ‎101 to 150‎ Slight pollution Yellow ‎151 to 200‎ Moderate pollution Orange ‎201 to 250‎ Medium pollution Red ‎251 to 300‎ High pollution Purple ‎301 to 500‎ Hazardous Brown Notes:‎ ‎ **API stands for Air Pollution Index (指数).‎ ‎ **Particulate matter (PM10) is a major component of air pollution that threatens both our health and our environment. It consists of very small liquid and solid particles floating in the air.‎ ‎ **Sulfur dioxide(SO2) acts as an acid．Inhalation(吸入) results in labored breathing, coughing, or a sore throat and may cause permanent lung damage.‎ ‎56. According to Graph 1, which of the following cities has the worst air pollution?‎ A. Qinhuangdao. B. Shenyang. ‎ C. Qingdao D. Tianjin.‎ ‎57. Which of the following statements is TURE?‎ A. With API value below 150 the air is free from being polluted.‎ B. On September 8th the color-symbol of Beijing City’s air quality is ‘Blue’.‎ C. The colors from purple to Yellow indicate the air quality is becoming much worse.‎ D. When there are floating solid particles and dust in the air, it is dangerous pollution.‎ B There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.‎ London ‎　London's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 21 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.‎ ‎ There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.‎ Paris ‎　Over a six week period in July and August 2008，more than 11400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?‎ ‎　One solution is to have air conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions.‎ ‎　In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such ‎ as the building “Flower Tower”， which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air conditioner.‎ Shanghai ‎ Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by ‎20 cm within the next century.‎ ‎　An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.‎ ‎58. What problem should be settled now in London?‎ A. How to protect the city's property. ‎ B. Where to build its flood defences.‎ ‎　C. How to improve the function of the old flood defences. ‎ ‎ D. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city. ‎ ‎59. Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?‎ ‎　A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.‎ ‎　B. Having air conditioners installed in elderly care homes.‎ ‎　C. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.‎ ‎ D. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”.‎ ‎60. The purpose of the passage is ________.‎ A. to tell us how to protect the big cities ‎ B. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities ‎ ‎　C. to explain what causes flood and heat waves ‎ ‎ D. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters C Why are so many people so afraid of failure？Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth．We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail．‎ Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed．One way is to lower standards．A mother describes her child's hand﹣made table as "Perfect！even though it doesn't stand still．Another way is to ‎ shift（转移）blame．If John fails science，his teacher is unfair or stupid．‎ The trouble with failure﹣prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world．The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything，no one can win all the time﹣and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when they don't win．A child who's not invited to a birthday party，who doesn't make the honor roll on the baseball team，feels terrible，of course．But parents should not offer a quick consolation（安慰），prize or say，"It doesn't matter．because it does．The young should be allowed to experience disappointment﹣and be helped to master it．‎ Failure is never pleasurable．It hurts grown﹣ups and children alike．But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it．Step one is to ask "Why did I fail？"‎ Don't blame someone else．Ask yourself what you did wrong，how you can improve．If someone else can help，don't be shy about inquiring（咨询）．Success，which encourages repetition of old behavior，is not nearly as good a teacher as failure．You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one，from an ill﹣chosen first house what to look for in a second．Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt fresh thinking，a change of direction．After 12years of studying ballet a friend of mine auditioned（面试）for a professional company．She was turned down．"Would further training help？she asked．The ballet master shook his head．"You will never be a dancer，he said，"you haven't the body for it．‎ In such cases，the way to use failure is to take stock（鉴定）bravely asking．"What have I left？What else can I do？My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center，a field where she's both able and useful．Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose．Often there is recovery（恢复）of energy ─a way to find new possibilities．‎ ‎61.The second paragraph tells us　 　．‎ A. how a mother praised her children ‎ B. how to shift（转移）blame C. parents should blame their children at the proper time．‎ D. two ways of failure prevention most parents used when their children fail ‎ ‎62.According to the author，what should a child know in the real world？　 　‎ A. He should be equipped for life． ‎ B. No parents should offer quick consolations．‎ C. No one can be best all the time at everything． ‎ D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as success．‎ ‎63．The underlined word "prompt" in the fifth paragraph can be best replaced by"　 "．‎ A. improve B. cause C. continue D. prevent ‎ ‎64.From the passage we know that 　 　 can affect one's life greatly once he learns to use it．‎ A. success B. disappointment C. value． D. failure ‎ D You many have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be.‎ This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we’ve tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?‎ Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway, watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything — every button, every dish, her automobile, every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help. ‎ Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt. ‎ She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of ‎ indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.‎ In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.‎ For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, “Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn’t happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship — I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along…There’s a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us.”‎ She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within- dependable and sure.‎ ‎ What is your rope tied to? And what would happen if you found the courage to let go of it?‎ ‎65 In‎ Paragraph 1, the writer tells the story of the man to___________.‎ A. describe a scene B. introduce a topic ‎ C. offer an argument D. satisfy the readers’ curiosity ‎66. If the story of the man was true, the most probable result would be that___________.‎ A. the bumper of the car broke up ‎ B. the house was destroyed by the car C. the man was badly injured or even killed ‎ D. the wife was scolded by her husband ‎67. Why was Susan crying in the darkness?‎ A. Because she was afraid of staying in the dark. ‎ B. Because she wanted to be heard by the rescuers.‎ C. Because she was frightened and felt helpless.‎ D. Because she had tied her rope to the wrong thing.‎ ‎68. What did Susan feel after she thought about her situation?‎ A. She felt she was still alive.‎ B. She felt very peaceful ‎ C. She felt completely hopeless.‎ D. She wanted to change her life forever.‎ ‎69. How did Susan like interpersonal relationship and income before the earthquake?‎ A. They were alternative.‎ B. They were among some choices.‎ C. They were unnecessary.‎ D. They were very important.‎ ‎70. Which of the following should be the best title?‎ A. A Rope Tied to a Car.‎ B. What to Depend on.‎ C. Please Let Go of Your Trust.‎ D. An Experience from an Earthquake.‎ 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填一个单词。‎ Blood donation, also called blood banking, is a wonderful thing to do.

Completely avoid a day before and after giving blood, taking alcohol(酒). Do not smoke half an hour before giving blood.‎ When you are going for blood donation, be relaxed, which helps keep the right blood ‎ pressure. During the blood donation activity, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Don't join in some other activities.‎ When you donate blood, you are making the effort to save someone's life. Blood donation is a very simple and fast process, but you need to take care of yourself after donating blood. Proper care helps to reduce side effects. The following are a few tips that will help you out.‎ Take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. It helps you to feel relaxed.‎ Eat something and drink juice before leaving the blood donation centre. Make sure that you have meals after donating blood. Smoking should be avoided for one hour after the process. Avoid some activities right away, for example, driving.‎ Finally, be proud of yourself because you have done a great thing in helping to save someone's life.

Recently our class had a heated discussion about it.‎ Through the discussion, we are fully aware of the necessity of carrying out a low carbon economy in our country. Factories have been producing large numbers of harmful chemicals. Meanwhile, human activities also let off carbon gases. As a consequence, all these contribute a lot to serious environmental pollution. What’s worse, with the increase of the population, natural resources will run out.‎ My calssmates put forward the following suggestions about how to develop in a green way. First, more trees should be planted. Second, it is significant for us to recycle and reuse the waste that people throw away. Third, new energy should be developed and promoted as soon as possible.‎ We all think it is our duty to live a low carbon life. We are supposed to save every bit of water and electricity.

During these days, Americans show love and respect for their parents. Parents raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give their children love and care. These two days give us a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.‎ These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day, people often wear carnations. And families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor picnics for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.‎ Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children can make than in school. Many people make cards for their own parents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts.”‎
