The people who work at the studio teach customers how to build their own bikes from bamboo. “Bamboo is very userfriendly,” says Marty Odlin, one of the studios owners. “Theres no way that a nonexpert could build a steel bike within a weekend. But with bamboo, its possible.”The Bamboo Bike Studio is also helping set up factories in Ghana, a country in western Africa. The factories will produce inexpensive bamboo bikes in large numbers. If that is successful, it might mean new jobs and inexpensive transportation for the people of that country.Bamboo bikes are a natural fit in Ghana because bamboo grows everywhere throughout the country. It also grows in many places in the United States. Bamboo is one of the fastestgrowing plants in the world. It can grow up to 40 inches in a single day. And bamboo has qualities that make it as good as steel for building a durable, comfortable vehicle. A bamboo bike, says Odlin, is “the perfect everyday bike”.In Ghana, bikes are in high demand. Few people have enough money to afford a car, so bikes are used to transport most of the countrys food and material goods. The people of Ghana are also too poor to buy traditional steel bikes. But producing bicycles from bamboo is a good alternative.Back in New York, Odlin has helped customers aged 12 to 70 build bamboo bikes. It takes about a weekend to learn how to put one together. Odlin says he also wants his customers to develop a new respect for what they own. “It requires patience to build these bikes,” he says. “It causes people to appreciate the products. In America, we have too much stuff, so we dont appreciate what we have.”24. We can learn from the first paragraph that _.A. bamboo bikes are more popular than steel bikesB. bamboo bikes are easy to buildC. customers can choose an expert for themselves at the studioD. customers are not likely to build a bamboo bike on their own within a weekend25. Which of the following is a benefit that bamboo bike factories can bring to Ghana?A. More job opportunities.B. More bamboo farms.C. Fewer traffic problems.D. Less competition from foreigners.26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The advantages of bamboo bikes.B. Good qualities of bamboo.C. How to help people in Ghana.D. Why producing bamboo bikes is a good idea for Ghana.27. According to Odlin, _.A. it is more meaningful to use bamboo bikes in America than in GhanaB. the bamboo bike factories in Ghana need more support from American peopleC. American people are expected to learn a lesson from building bamboo bikesD. American people should contribute what they dont need to poor countriesCThe works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth are “rocket-boosters(火箭助推器)” to the brain and better therapy than self-help books, researchers will say this week.Scientists, psychologists(心理学家) and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the Bard and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, catches the readers attention and causes moments of self-reflection.Using scanners(扫描仪), they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S Eliot and others.They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”, modern language and again monitored the readers brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more “challenging” prose(散文) and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the more pedestrian(通俗化的) versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers encountered unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentence structure.This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark, shifting the brain to a higher gear, encouraging further reading.The research also found that reading poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right hemisphere(半球) of the brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, helping the reader to reflect on and reappraise their own experiences in light of what they have read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study with the universitys magnetic resonance centre, will tell a conference this week: Serious literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain.The research shows the power of literature to shift mental pathways, to create new thoughts, shapes and connections in the young and the elderly alike.28. How do classics such as Shakespeare and Wordsworth benefit the readers?A. They set off far less electrical activity in the brain.B. They light up the mind shorter than the initial electrical spark.C. They shift physical pathways in the young and the elderly.D. They draw readers attention and help make self-examination.29. Why do they “translate” the texts into more “straightforward”, modern language?A. To prove that classics are more useful than ordinary versions.B. To show self-help books act like rocket-boosters to the brain.C. To tell serious literature sets off far less electrical activity.D. To make known ordinary versions set off more electrical activity.30. What does the underlined word “encountered” probably mean in the passage?A. found outB. met withC. learned aboutD. knew about31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Ordinary Versions Create New ThoughtsB. Modern Language Increases the BrainC. Classics Help Improve the Brain ActivityD. Self-help Books, Rocket-boostersDOne day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had run away. But they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole. They did their best to get out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other one.Everyone was puzzled, so they came nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to talk about the two mice. One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”A smart French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.”A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.”At that moment, one Chinese asked, “Why did those two mice have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.32. The two mice didnt go away immediately because _.A. one was playing with the otherB. one was trying to help the blind oneC. they were not afraid of smokeD. the mouth of the hole was too small33. All the officials felt _ when they saw the two mice.A. sadB. nervousC. surprisedD. happy34. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There were many mice in the mouse hole.B. After the meal the officials began to talk about the two mice.C. All the officials felt shamed when hearing the Chineses words.D. The government officials came from different countries.35. What is true love based on?A. FriendshipB. blood relationshipC. family D.no relationship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。Are These the Best Years of Your Life?The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists now know there are very clear life patterns that almost all people share. Even if you have passed some of your best years, you still have other good years to come. 36When are you smartest? From 18 to 25, according to IQscores; but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age. Youre sharpest in your 20s; around 30, mental abilities begin to decline, particularly your ability to do maths. 37 Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21. 38 You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24, when you feel energetic all the time. The best professional sense seems from 40 to 49. Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come. Over 30, we believe that theyre behind us. A National Health Survey agrees: After age 30, we “become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we keep our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, then happiness, we feel, will follow.”39 Generally between 30 to 39, but the peak(顶峰）varies with different professions. Mozart wrote a symphony by age eight, and Mendelssohn composed his best-known work, A Midsummer Nights dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39. Though the peak in most fields comes earlymost Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20s and 30s, creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives. 40A. When are you happiest?B. When are you most creative?C. But your ability to complete other tasks climbs.D. The above gives you an accurate figure.E. Certain good years seem to come later in life.F. For people who are creative, there is no upper age limit.G. The human life journey cannot be charted by a clear life pattern.第三部分语言知识运用（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）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。In Elisha Otiss time, people were not interested in riding an elevator. They thought elevators were too41 . To improve elevators, Otis worked hard to 42 peoples fears by showing that his elevator was safe.Born in 1811, Otis grew up on a farm, but he had 43 interest in raising crops. Otis tried many different jobs in his early years, 44 none of them lasted long. Finally, in 1845, he tried to 45 his luck with a move to Albany, New York where he opened a shop to build small machines.In 1852, a company 46 him as a master mechanic. Heavy equipment had to be 47 to the second floor. Otis had to build an elevator that could move the equipment 48. Otis tried to 49 the elevator designs then in use. He noticed that elevators depended too 50 on a single rope. If that rope broke, nothing could prevent the whole works(活动部件)from 51. Otis thought the system was too 52 to lift thousands of pounds of machinery. He wanted to prevent the 53 if the rope broke.Otis designed a spring(弹簧) system. He placed a special spring above the elevator platform(平台). 54 the rope broke, the safety spring would at once lock the platform in place.In 1854 Otis had a chance to 55 his safety elevator. At the Crystal Palace Exposition in New York, a crowd gathered around Otiss 56. Standing on the platform alone, he ordered a worker
