Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. Dad, theres a deer there! Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. I knew I was in trouble, Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. I was kicking it to get its attention, she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car ,and then applied a piece of cloth to Sues injured leg. Were going to get you to a hospital, Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. I was losing faith, she says. A couple more strikes, Alexis, said her father. You can do it.Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help, she says, not to beat up a deer.24.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer? A She was driving home. B She was resting on the road.C She was taking exercise. D She was feeding wild animals. 25. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A She pushed the deer away.B.She hit the deer with her feetC She drove the car to hit the deer.D She beat the deer with a hammer.26. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?A. Strong.B. Cruel.C. Energetic.D. Brave.27. What is the best title for the passage?A A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack B A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanC A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyD A Woman Was Seriously InjuredCWhen Dawn Bonfield, the former chief executive of the Womens Engineering Society, ran a stand recently at a big military air show, she was in for a shock.There were around 900 Brownies among the crowd and Ms Bonfield says, Im saying to all these girls, Do you know about engineering, would you like to be an engineer, have you thought about engineering? And in the whole day. probably five or six of them said yes. Every other one said no, just straight out no.What surprised her most, she says, is that it wasnt that these eight and nine-year-old girls didnt know what engineering was. Simply that they had already switched off. They had lost interest in engineering. So how much work does it take to change that? asks Ms Bonfield. I mean its huge.Theres no shortage of data to back up her estimation of the scale of work required. Thelatest figuresfrom the Office for National Statistics show that women make up around just 8% of engineers in the UK. And this is at a time when the UK needs to produce thousands more engineers, so much so that the inventor,Sir James Dyson, is planning to open his own institute to address the skills shortage.Not enough female role models is well documented as a reason why girls dont choose engineering.The attitude of parents was also an important factor in career choices. For girls, perhaps unsurprisingly, mothers were particularly influential.My mum was a bit uncertain about it at first because she was more like, Girls should do this and that and the other, more like keep your posture up and be ladylike, says middle school student Hannah. But my dad used to build a lot of stuff and he got me into that. So after my mum saw how I and my dad interacted she said, Yeah, go for it and shes kind of the one who supported me with this.28. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To show the shortage of girls in engineering. B. To introduce some famous girl engineers.C. To promote the social status for engineers.D. To give girls advice on how to select careers.29. What does the underlined word “Brownies” in the Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Chocolate cakes. B. Young girls.C. Girls with brown hair. D. Students in brown.30. What shocked Dawn Bonfield most?A. There were so many girls at the show.B. Many girls had run off before seeing her.C. Girls didnt know anything about engineering.D. Girls paid no attention to engineering.31. Why did Hannh finally choose engineering?A. Because she found a woman role model.B. Because her mother was sure of her future.C. Because her father had influence on her.D. Because she wanted to meet the demand of society.DIt is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history .If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets(装置), a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bag making labor overseas.But, much as nature finds ways-such as disease-to control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags to enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless. The city has countless bag rules. It is hard to keep them all straight, and youre never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game. Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule. You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library. If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check. You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them. You return them when you come back for your own bag.What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than bringing things in. A librarian said on the second day, It s a big change for people who used come and bring in half their flats. The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so. The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to.32.What does the writer mainly talk about?A. The history of the bag rules.B. The importance of using libraries.C. Different bags used in our daily life.D. The use of bags and the rules against it.33.The bag rules in many public buildings require people to_A. leave the places baglessB. pay for bringing in bagsC. have their bags examinedD. use big clear plastic bags34.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?A. to change people s way of reading.B .to help people better use the library.C. to prevent people stealing from the library.D. to stop people from bringing in dangerous things.35.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?A. Excellent.B. Limited.C. Harmful.D. Unclear.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。 You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for about two hundred years, but no one is sure who first made this popular two-wheeled machine.36 The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there werent any pedals (踏板), Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground.37 In 1879 an Englishman had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with a chain. Gears(齿轮), which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the 1890s.There are now about one billion bicycles in the world. 38 They have to compete with cars on the streets of all the world s cities, and the two forms of transport don t always mix well. In London in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hurt in accidents.Because bicycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, now many governments encourage people to ride rather than drive. 39 The number of yearly journeys made by bicycle in London has increased 50% over the last five years.However, although one in three British people owns a bicycle, they still dont use them nearly as much as they could 40 .It is hoped that more people will rely on bicycles to move around. The reasons are obvious-cycling helps to protect the environment, keep us fit, and it is often not only cheaper but also quicker than travelling by car in many cases. A. Pedals finally arrived in the 1840s.B. Cycling is on the rise in the United Kingdom.C. Bicycles are used for only 2 % of journeys in the UK.D. The first person who made a bicycle was an Englishman.E. The number of bicycles is twice more than that of cars.F. The early models didn t look much like the bicycles of today.G. Cycling helps improve peoples health.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）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。The taxi driver was a man in his late thirties.
