So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport thats for birds. Described as the worlds first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is，of course，not an actual airport. Rather, its a wetland preserve specifically designed to acmodate hundreds even thousands of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds, some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway. Located on a former landfill site, the 61-hectare (150-acre) airport is also open to human travelers. (Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjins newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths and trails totaling over 4 miles. The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin,” Adrian McGregor of Australian landscape architecture firm McGregor Coxall explained of .the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city Chinas fourth most populous that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs. 29.

What is this passage mainly about? A.China is to open the first Bird Airport. B.Airports turn into green lungs.C.Birds are no longer enemies to airports. D.Airports shut down and open up.DIf Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has bee a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks(缺点) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 32.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.

The use of “I feel”, “I think” and “maybe”In the question-and answer session of the speaking petition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”, “I hear”, “maybe” and “perhaps”. These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view. 36Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence. Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.2. 37Dont stick to the same tone. It can be boring. Try to mix it up. For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles tighter. 38, rather than just sticking with the same one.3. Irresponsible answers 39. youre responsible for your words. Even though you want to answer quickly, you dont want to sound foolish. So you should think twice before you talk. Dont be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy(盗版), started by saying he supported it.4. Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it You should focus on one point and give a clear solution. 40. is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view? Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion. Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.A. Try mixing more than one style.B. Improving your munication skill.C. Using only one speaking styleD. Its important to involve your audience.E. Public speaking is different from personal conversations.F. The key is to work out what question is being askedG. To the judges and audience, this lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable.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、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 More than three decades ago, I was a student at a high school in Southern California. The student body of 3,200 was a melting pot of ethnic groups. The environment was 41 . One day I was walking down the side walk when someone kicked me from behind.
