world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought (干旱) The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968 Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended (延长) daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic GamesThe differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major difficulties, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television25 Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _A to stop the drought in 1967 B to support government officialsC to pass a special law in the state D to save water and

that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet Thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp” he said The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones using the lampbrella After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter 28 For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?ATo predict a heavy rain BTo check the weather forecast CTo protect people from the rain DTo remind people to take an umbrella 29 Which of the following shows how the lampbrella works?Amotorcanopysensors Bsensorsmotorcanopy Cmotorsensorscanopy Dcanopymotorsensors 30 What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?AIts moving speed BIts appearance CIts installation DIts safety 31What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AThe designer will open a company to promote his product BThe lampbrella could be put into immediate production CThe designer is confident that his creation is practical DThe lampbrella would be put on show in MoscowDYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims, too Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are 32What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?APeople and things around you BOpportunities and problems CCreators and their choices DVictims and their sufferings 33What can we learn from Paragraph 3?ACreators and victims face quite different things in life BCreators and victims are masters of their lives CVictims can influence more people than creators DCompared with victims, creators are more emotional 34The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _Astrong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims Bpeople need family support to deal with challengers in life Cit takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains Dones experiences determine his attitude toward life 35What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo define victims and creators BTo evaluate victims against creators CTo explain the relationship between victims and creators DTo suggest the transformation from victims to creators第二节

achieve a goal What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists Each of us becomes another Michelangelo Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life The tool doesnt come free，however，for the price of choice is responsibility 37 The reward is happinessLife is not still It is a flow 38 We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey We need to ask questions：Am I moving closer to my goals? If not，what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power Choice is at the heart of life It is the creative power of life 39 And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than deciding where to shop The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillmentAll chess lovers realize that it isnt necessary to win to enjoy the game The pleasure is in the playing Life is like a chess game 40 AIt is free will or choiceBYou have to make choices every dayCMake the best moves you can under the circumstancesDBut when we accept and carry it out, we get a great returnEEvery choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goalsFLife is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they getGChoose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to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15分，满分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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in Italy After climbing up a hill for a full view of the blue sea, I paused to catch my 41 and then positioned myself to take a photoUnfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind and 42 herself right in front of my 43 Like me, she was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the scenery 44 as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would 45 take, I was upset Should I ask her to 46 so that I could take just one picture of the landscape?
