The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer． I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel． About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $‎1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me． This experience has shaped me in many important ways． The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic （伦理）．Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations． ‎21． Where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university?‎ ‎ A． In a restaurant B． In the tennis camps ‎ C． In a company D． In the admissions office ‎22． The writer took a class at a community college mainly because_____．  ‎ A． she wanted to save money B． life there was relatively easy ‎ C． summer time was tiring D． it was required by the university ‎23． The writer’s major concern about the trip to Israel was that _____．  ‎ A． her mother would not give her approval ‎ ‎ B． she would fail to get credits in Israel ‎ ‎ C． a well-paid summer job would be lost ‎ D． $1,600 couldn’t be drawn out in time ‎24． The passage is mainly about how the writer _____．  ‎ A． made money on the college campus ‎ B． managed to make full use of her vacation ‎ C． was forced to support herself by her mother ‎ D． was shaped by working part-time through college ‎ ‎ B The James Dyson Award winners for 2011 have been announced, and the grand prize winner is a machine． Edward Linacre of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne has tapped the Namib beetle（纳米比甲虫）—a desert creature that survives in the extremely dry conditions ‎ on Earth—to create an irrigation system that can pull liquid straight out of dry desert air． Airdrop, as the system is known, borrows a trick from the Namib beetle, which can live in areas that receive just half an inch of rain per year by harvesting early morning fogs from the air that gathers on its back during the early morning hours．Its skin helps to collect water drops passing in the wind, which then become liquid water． Airdrop mimics this idea, in a larger amount, though．The self-powering machine pumps water into a network of underground pipes, where it cools enough for water to condensate （凝结）． From there the water is delivered to the roots of nearby plants． Linacre’s math shows that about 11．5 milliliters can be harvested from every cubic meter of air, and further development could raise that number even higher． Such a system as Airdrop could provide regular water to plants being grown in the world’s driest areas． And because it is low cost and self-powered, the $14,000 award from Dyson （Linacre’s university also gets an additional $14,000） should help speed that along． ‎25． What does Airdrop have in common with the Namib beetle?‎ ‎ A． It has a useful irrigation system． ‎ B． It looks exactly the same as the beetle． ‎ C． It pulls water drops out of dry desert air． ‎ D． It works only in the early summer morning． ‎26． It can be learnt that ______． ‎ A． Airdrop cannot work without a trained operator ‎ B． Edward Linacre designed a robot named Airdrop ‎ C． Airdrop works much better during harvest seasons ‎ D． Airdrop is based on the research of the Namib beetle’s trick ‎27． The underlined word “mimics”（in Paragraph 3） most probably means ______． ‎ A. ignores B. refuses C. copies D. recommends ‎28． We can infer from the passage that ______． ‎ A． Linacre will share the prize of $14,000 with his university ‎ B． farmers in the dry areas will benefit little from this invention ‎ C． Airdrop will be further improved and become more effective ‎ D． all kinds of costs of Airdrop will become higher and higher C Langston Hughes is usually thought of as a poet． But he also wrote novels, plays, short stories, essays, autobiographies, newspaper columns（栏目）, children’s books, and the words to operas． He also translated into English the works of foreign poets． From his childhood, Langston Hughes developed a love of reading books, which grew into a desire to write． He wanted to reproduce the powerful effect other writers had made upon him．Among the early influences on his writing were poets Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg and Paul Lawrence Dunbar． One day, the poet Vachel Lindsay ate in a hotel where Hughes was working． Hughes put some poems he had written next to Lindsay’s dinner plate． Lindsay gave a poetry reading later that night． He read some of Hughes’s poetry, too． Newspapers across the country wrote about Lindsay’s poetry reading． Hughes became known as a new black poet． A year later, Hughes returned to New York． Through the years he lived in many places, but always came back to New York’s Harlem area． Harlem was the center of black life in New York City． Hughes’s creativity was influenced by his life in Harlem． Langston Hughes returned to New York during a period called the Harlem Renaissance． It took place during the nineteen-twenties and thirties． The Harlem Renaissance was a period of great artistic creativity among black people． For the first time, black artistic style was being widely recognized. Hughes became friends with other great black writers of the time, such as Claude McKay, Countee Cullen and Zora Neal Hurston． They hoped that great art could change the racist ideas in America about African Americans． Hughes was considered one of the leading voices of the Harlem Renaissance． He was the first poet to use the rhythms（韵律）of black music．He often wrote about the everyday experiences of black working people． And he helped bring the movement of jazz and the sound of black speech into poetry． Langston Hughes experimented with his writing. Other Harlem Renaissance writers wrote traditional poems like those of English classic poets, such as William Shakespeare． Hughes broke free with his writing and helped change literature forever． ‎29． What can we learn about Hughes’s childhood?‎ ‎ A． He had an influence on some writers． B． He had an ambition of being a writer． ‎ C． He translated a lot of foreign poems． D． He wrote poems with powerful effect． ‎30． Hughes became known as a new poet after______．‎ ‎ A． he had some of his poems published in newspapers ‎ B． he invited the famous poet Vachel Lindsay to dinner ‎ C． his poems were presented in Lindsay’s poetry reading ‎ D． he wrote for newspaper columns while working in a hotel ‎31． According to the passage , what was the result of the Harlem Renaissance?‎ ‎ A． Black people had the right to go in for art． ‎ B． Black artistic style was widely acknowledged． ‎ C． Black art changed the racist ideas in America． ‎ D． Black writers became friends with white writers． ‎32． Langston Hughes was most famous for______．  ‎ A． helping bring the black jazz to the world ‎ B． creating and leading the Harlem Renaissance ‎ C． combining black music and speech in his poetry ‎ D． writing traditional poems like English classic poets D The Calgary Public Library has some great resources （资源） to beat boredom and keep your children busy over the summer, whether at home or on the road．‎ During the school year children are busy with homework and required reading, so summer is a great time for them to relax and read what they choose． Not only is reading a pleasurable way to pass the time, it will also help children keep their skills up over the summer, so they are prepared to go back to school in the fall．‎ If you are taking a trip this summer, why not let the kids help out with the planning? Borrow a children’s atlas （地图集） to choose your way together and check out some books about your destination before departure． The All about Provinces and Territories series （系列） is full of interesting facts about each Canadian Province．‎ Going camping? How about taking along some scary, or not so scary, stories to tell around ‎ the campfire? Alvin Schwarz’s collections of Scary Tales to Tell in the Dark are sure to make your spine tingle and your teeth chatter． For something a little less horrible, try Velcome: a Very Scary Book, by Kevin O’Malley, which includes such horrors as a plate of mixed vegetables!‎ For long car rides, check out Car Games: 100 Games to Avoid “Are we there Yet?” It’s full of fun games and activities like cow football and Dude, where’s my orange car? —games that are sure to keep youngsters occupied on long journeys．‎ Remember to lead by example and pack a book in your own beach bag． If children see you reading, they will understand that books are an important and valuable part of summer and they will begin to copy your habits!‎ The staff at the Calgary Public Library are always happy to help find that perfect summer read, so stop by your nearest branch, call us at 260-2600, or visit our website at calgarypubliclibrary．com today． ‎ ‎33． What can we infer from the second paragraph of the passage?‎ ‎ A． Summer is the only time for children to relax themselves． ‎ B． Children have little time to read at school what they choose．‎ ‎ C． Children usually get bored of reading during the school year．‎ ‎ D． Required reading prepares children to go back to school in the fall．‎ ‎34． If you want your children to have a good knowledge of Canada before a trip, you had better refer to______．  ‎ A． All about Provinces and Territories B． Scary Tales to Tell in the Dark ‎ C． Terror at Turtle Mountain D． Central Rockies Wildflowers ‎35．The underlined part “make your spine tingle and your teeth chatter” （in Paragraph 4） most probably means______．  ‎ A． interest you and impress you B． excite you and frighten you ‎ ‎ C． embarrass you and annoy you D． discourage you and disgust you ‎ 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。‎ Does Fame Drive You Crazy?‎ Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. 36 ‎ Celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. Over time, they feel separated and alone.‎ ‎ ‎37 In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping ‎ to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.‎ Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. 38 ‎ If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? 39 Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. 40 They are tired of being famous already.‎ A. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.‎ B. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.‎ C. What can they do to avoid being tracked down by Paparazzi?‎ D. In some way, celebrities are just ordinary people who deserve a normal life like every ‎ ‎ one of us.‎ E. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted ‎ for a signature.‎ F. The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.‎ G. The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.‎ 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）‎ Peter Brown, aged 41, is the manager of a club from Dover Heights． This Saturday he will lead a team of 5 members in an attempt to 41 the Simpson Desert on foot in 12 days． Only one team member has ever walked through the centre of the desert without any 42 , and it took him 17 days to complete the 43 ． Travelling ‎400km and climbing more than 1,000 sand hills, each member will pull their ‎44 in a cart （车） weighing over ‎140kg． They’ll need to walk from before sunrise until after sunset to 45 the ‎33km a day target（目标）． And the 46 will vary from ‎25 ℃‎ in the day to 47 zero at night．‎ Peter has led his club members on 48 challenges before but he said this was the most ambitious 49“We did the Kokoda Trail in just over 4 days last year and the year before, 50 money for World Vision,” he said．“It’s 51 to see just how strong and how 52 focused people can be when they need to be．”‎ ‎ “We’ve taken on something much larger than we 53 ,”he said．“We’re fit, we train hard, but we’re only training about 2 hours at a time; we’re not used to 54 12 to 15 hours a day．”‎ Team member Geoff Robinson had never exercised 55 joining the club 9 months ago “This is going to be huge for him．Geoff 56 run ‎100m when he started and he has 57 ‎20kg ever ‎ since then．”‎ The team is 58 for the charity （慈善机构） Save the Children, and has already collected $11,000． The team has chosen the charity because of the 59 it runs for remote Australia．“We really want to make sure we’re giving 60 meaningful back to this country．” Peter was proud． ‎41．A． enter B．flee C． cross D． search ‎42．A． courage B． support C． water D． food ‎43．A． journey B． vacation C． cause D． competition ‎44．A． supplies B． contents C． collections D． documents ‎45．A． make out B． figure out C． keep up D． bring up ‎46．A． land B． desert C． weather D． temperature ‎47．A． beyond B． over C． below D． above ‎48．A． new B． mild C． little D． similar ‎49．A． on average B． at least C． by far D． in particular ‎50．A． raising B． paying C． saving D． making ‎51．A． strange B． interesting C． natural D． necessary ‎52．A． personally B． generally C． readily D． mentally ‎53．A． explored B． sought C． contributed D． realized ‎54．A． pushing B． walking C． testing D． sleeping ‎55．A． before B． after C． until D． since ‎56．A． mustn’t B． couldn’t C． shouldn’t D． wouldn’t ‎57．A． lost B． added C． taken D． carried ‎58．A． waiting B． working C． applying D． paying ‎59．A． plays B． engines C． experiments D． programmes ‎60．A． anything B． everything C． something D． nothing ‎ ‎ 第二节 ‎ 语法填空（10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎61 the end of the first century AD, a Roman writer 62 (call)Pliny wrote about a terrible volcanic eruption that he 63 (witness)as a young man.‎ ‎ The eruption had occurred 64 August 24th,79 AD.
