these tiles could be installed everywhere, from sidewalks to homes. then we could all be “green” and have fun! who knew that was even possible?13. what can we learn from the first paragraph? a. american students are encouraged to run and jump as much as possible.b. “going green” means generating less trash or making an attempt to recycle. c. new yorks riverdale country school took a different way to go green. d. new yorks riverdale country school is the first us school to try new ways to go green.14. which of the following statements is true about laurence kembell-cook?

a. science. b. architecture. c. education.d. agriculture.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。if you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and mentally notice alternate exits._16_make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet or uneven ground can be slippery or hazardous, causing you to fall._17_ when in danger, a few seconds can make all the difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of escaping route. always stay closer to the escape route.if you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you could easily get trampled._18_take advantage of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxerit gives you movement and protects your chest._19_ if you cannot get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you back up. if you have kids, lift them up.if you fall and cannot get up, keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms and curl up into fetal position._20_a. be aware of the general atmosphere of the event, as panic situations can often be expected.b. there is always space between people.c. do not lie on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs.d. the worst is to be pushed by the crowd against an immovable objecte. if you fall, get up quickly.f. no matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.g. instead, move in the same direction of the crowd.第二部分 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，共30分。）阅读下面短文，从各题a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。“how does the yard look?” my father asked, with his eyes shining. i could tell he was eagerly waiting for my 21 . “wonderful!” i replied after i gave it a thorough 22 . then i recited all the changes i had 23 in his yard and he smiled contently. when i was young, my mother 24 in a car accident, leaving my father alone to 25 their three young daughters. at the beginning, life was not always 26 and my younger sisters usually complained. however, dad always 27 us to believe that life was good. meanwhile, he tried his best to 28 that belief. in 1972, my dad developed a piece of waste land that had been 29 on okaloosa island. every year at the first sign of 30 , he would begin spending countless hours working there to make it be bursting with colors. through his continuous hard work, the land 31 turned into a beautiful garden with different types of flowers and other unique plants. while our friends were enjoying their vacation through traveling to different places, we were 32 working with my dad in his yard, watering the flowers, weeding or cutting off the branches. sometimes, our friends were envious of our working vacation, and we would 33 them. dad made his yard very 34 so that it became our vacation paradise during our childhood. for so many years, when we were 35 , we liked to visit dads yard, because it could 36 us of dads belief. it was dad and his yard that gave us 37 that enabled us to survive and 38 major challenges in life. one day, it shocked us that dad said he would not 39 the yard. then he explained, “twenty years ago i decided to start my work in that yard to tell you life is good. now my work is done.” we were sitting in 40 , recalling what we had experienced. life was good. dad was right.21. a. excuseb. answerc. decisiond. suggestion22. a. cleanb. suggestionc. inspectiond. arrangement23. a. achievedb. imaginedc. discoveredd. promised24. a. passed awayb. turned upc. ran awayd. gave up25. a. scoldb. raisec. rescued. persuade26. a. smoothb. sorrowfulc. wealthyd. lonely27. a. forcedb. allowedc. authorizedd. encouraged28. a. changeb. provec. understandd. criticize29. a. advertisedb. abandonedc. disappearedd. provided30. a. springb. summerc. autumnd. winter31. a. suddenlyb. graduallyc. temporarilyd. occasionally32. a. impatientlyb. carelesslyc. happilyd. unwillingly33. a. inviteb. challengec. accompanyd. consult34. a. unnecessaryb. unreasonablec. disgustingd. extraordinary35. a. confidentb. angryc. guiltyd. low36. a. warnb. accusec. remindd. inform37. a. emotionb. choicesc. strengthd. opportunities38. a. forgetb. admitc. created. conquer39. a. continueb. sellc. challenged. extend40. a. safetyb. despairc. doubtd. silence第 ii卷第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第二节 语法填空（共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。shanxi noodles: a matter worth being proud ofa commonly used greeting in china is the question, have you eaten?
