Soon that may change with “green” power.Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device (装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their schools outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an “aha” moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plants, said inventor Evelyn Aravena. “Why dont you have a socket, if there are so many plants?” After that, we thought, “why dont they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?”Their inventiona small biological circuit called E-Kaiauses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis (光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and thats where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.“Its the most amazing project Ive ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked and thats when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them.” said Mauricio Cifuentes.The device solved two problems for the engineering students they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.“Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we werent able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices,” said Aravena. But plants are everywhere, and the biocircuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.The E-Kaia doesnt carry much charge but its powerful enough to pletely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December xx.24.How could the students get the “green” power idea?A. By carrying out an experiment.B. Just from an occasional thought.C. With the support of their professors.D. Inspired by the information in a science book.25.The device collects power by using _.A. photosynthesis B. energy plantsC. a small biological circuit D. the electricity stored in the device26.What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said?A. He intended to buy the patent.B. He invented the original device.C. He showed great interest in the device.D. He attempted to produce the device in large numbers.27.What might be the best title for the passage?A. A New Device to Change the WorldB. Green Power - A New and Potential SourceC. Chilean Students Find a Green Way to Charge PhonesD. A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on SaleCI 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 without 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, weeping. Obviously, that was 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 noticed 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.28.What made Kate angry one evening?A. She couldnt find her books. B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill. D. She saw the authors shoes beneath her bed.29.The author tidied up the room most probably because_.A. she wanted to show her care B. she hated herself for being so messyC. she was scared by Kates anger D. she was asked by Kate to do so30.How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A.

How to Be Organized D. Learning to Be RoommatesDGrey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass. The ground is white. The day is June 10. It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains. Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail-95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail.When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass,140 miles south of Missoula, on Aug.12,1805, he was astonished by what was in front of him, “high mountain chains still to the west of us with their tops partially covered with snow.” Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures: the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的)gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken, I sit on a rock on top of the ridge (山脊).There is no light visible in any direction, not even another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy. In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.32. We learn from the text that before 1805 .A. the Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snowB. there were no people living in the western part of AmericaC.no Americans knew of the existence of the Rocky MountainsD. the Appalachians were the western frontier of the United States33.We learn from the text that the Lolo Pass .A. has changed a lot since 1805 B.is the meeting point of three culturesC. now attracts a large number of tourists to visit D. remains much the same as it was 200 years ago34.Judging from the text, Lewis and Clark were most probably .A. two native Indians B. explorers of the early 19th centuryC. merchants who did business with the IndiansD. travelers whose curiosity took them over the Lolo Pass35.We can infer from the text that when crossing the Lolo Pass the author .A. was attempting the impossible B. was trying to set a world recordC. was following the trail of Lewis and Clark D. was fighting with weather and taking unnecessary risks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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Here are some ways parents can use to encourage a healthy self-image in their children.Teach what real value is. I think kids sometimes are confused about values. How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside. 36. We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said, “She is so pretty,” and then quickly looked at me and said You are prettier, Mom.” And I said, “Its okay. There are many people prettier than me on the outside. I know thats not why you love me.” 37.Tell your kids about “the grass is always greener” syndrome. It is very easy for all of us to see the charm, whether it is in a famous singer or the most popular girl in the school. Do not think too highly of famous people. 38. Maybe they have the same struggles, like wanting acceptance from peers.39. Dont be afraid to have conversations with your child about how theyre feeling about ads songs, etc. You are the parent! 40. Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing, music, or magazines that you dont believe send the right message to your children!A. Use your mouth.B. Be patient with your kids.C. Talk about what problems they might have.D. It is important to teach children this from an early age.E. Success is not measured by how famous you are, either.F. In fact, kids of all ages want and need boundaries from you.G Girls tend to like famous singers while boys prefer sports stars.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A. B.

My wife, 42 from a long day of work, was half napping and half watching TV in the living room. Not caring for the 43 , I poured myself a glass of iced tea in the kitchen, took a lawn 44 off our porch, and walked into the front yard to 45 the stars.
