A.240B.160C.120D.80 BLike all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes.So the city began a scheme to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (Velib comes from vlo libert, or bicycle freedom) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you dont return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But its only 1 a day or 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy ( 25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Parisis not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks its a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they wont use a bicycle theyll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme wont solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There arent any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”24.What can we learn about the Velib scheme? A.Its bikes have no baskets. B.Its bikes are light and colorful. C.It aims to make traveling easier. D.It owns more stations than the subway. 25.If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay _. A.1B.30C.29D.no money 26.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme? A.The cost is rather high. B.Its hard to find a Velib station. C.Its not suitable for a long journey. D.The distance between two Velib stations is long. 27.Whats the city spokesmans attitude towards the bicycle scheme? A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Worried. CWe were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I dont think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “Were moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my nights sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin, the hard seatback in front cracking my kneecaps (膝盖) with every move of the body planted in front of me. On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.The journey didnt feel at all as long as it was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isnt something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission (任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.28.We can learn from the first paragraph that _. A.the kids love the train journey B.Chicago is one of the kids favorite cities C.the author didnt enjoy the long train journey D.it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train 29.What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Excitement. B.Relaxation. C.Tiredness. D.Worry. 30.In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show _. A.an airline flight is easier B.a train ride is too long C.an airline flight is miserable D.a train ride is more comfortable 31.Which of the following words best describes the whole familys feeling about the train journey? A.Moved. B.Delighted. C.Disappointed.D.Nervous. DI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled（贴标签）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 32.What made Kate so angry one evening? A.She got the news that her grandma was ill. B.She saw the authors shoes beneath her bed. C.She heard the author shouting loud. D.She couldnt find her books. 33.The author tidied up the room most probably because _. A.she hated herself for being so messy B.she was scared by Kates anger C.she was asked by Kate to do so D.she wanted to show her care 34.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed? A.By analyzing causesB.By describing a process C.By showing differencesD.By following time order 35.What might be the best title for the story? A.Learning to Be RoommatesB.Hard Work Pays Off C.How to Be Organized D.My Friend Kate 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。What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 36_ . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow the lead. You tend to be pessimist（悲观主义者）. At least, this is what psychologists（心理学家）tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 37_ . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 38_ . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 39_ . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area -until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 40_. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A. Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. B. On the other hand, black is depressing. C. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up -we are born with our preference. D. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like. E. If you do, you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. F. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. G. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors. 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。I had a bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book.

How did these differences take place? There is no quick answer61_this question.Actually at first the language in Britain and America was the same. After America became an independent country, the language 62_(gradual) began to change. For a long time the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed.Over the centuries, a number of words and meanings 63are still in everyday use in the United States64_(disappear) in British English. For example, Americans still use the 65_(express) “I guess” (meaning “I think”), just as the British did 300 years ago.In 1828 Noah Webster published the first American dictionary.66_(make) American English different from British English, he changed the spelling of many words. Thats why the words colour, centre and traveller67_(spell) color, center and traveler in American English. Except for these differences in spelling,68_(write) English is nearly the same in both British English and American English.The differences are mu
