And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers: “When you die,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesnt yell at you all the time.(Beth,9) “When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body cant go to heaven because its too crowded there already.” (Jimmy, 8) “Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where its hot all the time like in Florida. ” (Judy,9) “Doctors help you so you wont die until you pay their bills.”(Stephanie,9) Ive observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. Ive known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. Ive seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining roomfood brought by forting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And Ive observed friends just listen for as long as it takes. When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn (18821961) discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said. The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.29.What do we know from Belyacvs words in Paragraph 2?A.His creation was inspired by an experience.B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.30.Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A.motorcanopysensorsB.sensorsmotorcanopyC.motorsensorscanopyD.canopymotorsensors31.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A.Its moving speed.B.Its appearance.C.Its installation.D.Its safety.32.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The designer will open a pany to promote his product.B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.D Generations of children grew up reading ic(漫画) books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. ics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw ic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives. The ic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze(狂热) among adolescents for ic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of ic originating in Japan. The point is not to drop a ic book on a childs desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate(合著) on often plex stories and charac-ters that they then revise, publish and share with others in their munities. Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in(投入). And it turns out that ic books have other built-in advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that ic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and position lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed ics out of hand are learning to exploit(利用) a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works.33.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A.Japanese ic Books.B.ic Books in the Classroom.C.Reading Efficiently.D.A Current Craze.34.The main purpose of the ic Book Project is to .A.develop the cooperation among adolescentsB.make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after schoolC.help students who have some difficulty in readingD.popularize a new method of teaching35.It can be inferred that .A.ic books were first used in JapaneseschoolsB.parents have different opinions about their children reading ic booksC.more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of ic booksD.ic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country第二节：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。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）E Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.36. Lets look at some different examples of body painting. 37. Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive. 38. To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this acplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults. One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.39. Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.40. As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A.Red is the mon color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.B.Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.C.The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E.The women then decide which man they like best.F.The men pretend to fight each other.G.The men paint their faces yellow and red.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）完形填空(共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从3655各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene.
