No one in this village even knows that this is an incense treeexcept me, says the 54-year old Chan. I love these trees because I grew up with them. He wants to ensure his two young sons do as well. Officially known as Aquilaria sinensis (土沉香), agar-wood was once a mon modity, but is now rare because of illegal logging. Chan has been trying to change that. Over the past four years, he has planted 10,000 new trees on Hong Kongs only incense plantation, part of a family business passed on to him from his father and grandfather. All told, the plantation has some 300,000 incense trees. While incense tree conservation is one of Chans motivations, a lucrative livelihood is another. Chan explains he can sell a young tree for as much as $600. The 10,000 trees he planted could mean millions if he were to sell. But if left to mature at least 10 years, the trees can be an even bigger moneymaker once harvestedsupplying incense powder, fragrant wood used in herbal teas as well as traditional Chinese medicines. The wood itself can mand a large sum. Chan says one arms-length carving can mand $125,000. He adds his buyers usually e from Taiwan and mainland China after they learn of his business through word of mouth or through his website. But because of its high price and limited supply, the incense tree has also bee a victim of its own value. Hong means fragrant in the local Cantonese language. Kong means harbor. In the meantime, Chan hopes people will not forget the citys heritage as he nurtures the citys last incense plantation to save the Hong of Hong Kong. I hope my incense trees can grow bigger and be everywhere. Even though Hong Kong is urbanizing I think more trees can and should be planted.24. According to the passage, old Chan is .

Doubleday then went on to bee a Civil War hero, while baseball became Americas beloved national pastime. Not only is that story untrue, its not even in the ballpark (place for baseball). Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839, and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball. In 1907, a special mission(委员会) created by the sporting goods merchant and former major league player A. J. Spalding used weak evidencenamely the claims of one man, mining engineer Abner Gravesto e up with the Doubleday origin story. Cooperstown businessmen and major league officials would rely on the myths lasting power in the 1930s, when they established the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the village. As it turns out, the real history of baseball is a little more plicated than the Doubleday legend. References to games resembling(相似) baseball in the United States date back to the 18th century. Its most direct ancestors appear to be two English games: rounder (a childrens game brought to New England by the earliest colonists) and cricket. By the time of the American Revolution, variations(演变) of such games were being played on schoolyards and college campuses across the country. They became even more popular in newly industrialized cities where men sought work in the mid-19th century. In September 1845, a group of New York City men founded the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club. One of them would make a new set of rules that would form the basis for modern baseball. Cartwrights changes made the game faster-paced and more challenging from older games like cricket. In 1846, the Knickerbockers played the first official game of baseball against a team of cricket players, beginning a new, uniquely American tradition. 32. What can we know according to the first paragraph?A. Doubleday stayed at West Point for some reason.B. Doubleday said he had much to do with baseball. C. Baseball was really invented by Abner Doubleday.D. Abner Doubleday fought against slaves in the Civil War.33. Why did the Doubleday origin story e up?A. Because a special mission was founded.B. Because Doubleday provided false evidence. C. Because Abner Craves told a Doubleday story. D. Because Abner Craves worked with Doubleday.34. The real history of baseball is .A. much simpler than the Doubleday legendB. more interesting than rounder and cricket C. that baseball es from two English gamesD. that a childrens game came from New England35. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. Doubleday in fact came from BritainB. Doubleday invented rounder and cricketC. Doubleday is the most respected in the USAD.

At the end of the week each group was kept awake for 40 hours and donated blood samples, which were studied to examine the effects of their sleep states. 38 Although a weeks normal sleep was enough to restore the affected genes to their normal pattern, researchers said that long periods of sleeplessness could lead to serious health problems including heart disease. 39 Prof Colin Smith, one of the authors of the new paper, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, said, This is only a week of short time sleeping and it is only five and a half or six hours night. Many people have that amount of sleep for weeks, months and maybe, even years so we have no idea how much worse it might be. If these processes continue to be disordered, you could see how you are going to get damage of organs, tissues, heart disease, etc. 40 A. Genes in our bodies play a key role in the constant process of self-repair.B. The group of lack of sleeping was found to have changed the function of 711 genes.C. The other participants were monitored as they slept with their rest disturbed on some of the nights.D. The results suggest that shorter sleep provides a more permissive environment only for heart disease.E. If you are not able to repair cells and tissues that are damaged then you are going to suffer permanent ill health.F. Studies have also shown the lack of sleep can lead to some other problems, for example limiting our ability to drive a car safely.G. The findings suggest that long-lasting lack of sleep could prevent the body from fully repairing itself and raise the risk of a host of diseases.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）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。One early morning, I went to a coffee shop and waited in a long line.
