But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U. S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Road kill.“Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animals overpass!45. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that _.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents46. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a river D. a pass for animals to cross the road47. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means _.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesC. animals are crossing the road in groupsD. animals are increasing in number48. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because _.A. wild animals may attack carsB. wild animals may jam the roadC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. they may see wild animals on ecopassagesCDuke Ellington is known as one of the most important composers of his time, and his work has been enjoyed for more than 80 years by music lovers all over the world. During his lifetime Ellington turned musical sounds into many compositions, mostly in the style known as jazz.The Early YearsEdward Kennedy Ellington was born in 1899 in Washington, D. C. It wasnt until Ellington was a teenager that his interest in music grew. He taught himself to play the piano by listening to local piano players. Sometime around 1916 Ellington began playing the piano at high school parties. Ellington realized that he enjoyed entertaining people with his music. He soon became a very popular musician, playing at parties and other events in the Washington area. Young adults seemed especially delighted by the modern pieces he composed.Success in New YorkIn 1923, when Ellington was almost 24 years old, he joined The Washingtonians, a five-piece group of musicians in Washington, and became the groups leader in early 1924. In 1927 Ellington and his orchestra won an engagement（雇佣期）at Harlems famous Cotton Club. For the next three years, his orchestra played at the Cotton Club nearly every night.The Influence of the Cotton ClubWorking at the Cotton Club encouraged Ellingtons creativity. Since the shows changed every six months, he was challenged by the need to continually develop new material. He had to compose a wide variety of music to accompany the various acts in the Cotton Club shows and to adapt that music to the strengths and weaknesses of the players in his orchestra.By 1928 the popular nightspot began radio broadcasts. From the broadcasts Ellington and his orchestra gained a national reputation.On the RoadAs Ellingtons popularity increased, he realized that his orchestra could do well on concert tours. They left the Cotton Club in 1931 and toured America and Europe almost continually for the next 43 years. In addition to touring, Ellington made recordings and continued to compose music.Duke Ellington played the piano, composed music, and led his famous orchestra for more than 50 years, until his death in 1974. Music lovers all over the world agree that the large quantity of music he created will be enjoyed for many years to come. 49. From the second paragraph, we know that Ellington _.A. could sing as well as he played the pianoB. preferred mature audiences to young adultsC. had a natural talent for musical compositionD. learnt to play musical instrument from very young age 50.

They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.The touch-screen devices are on show at the Food Marketing Institutes exhibition here this week, “These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBMs “Shopping Buddy”, has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf. “The whole model is driven by advertisers need to get in front of shoppers,” said Alexander. “Theyre not watching 30-second TV ads anymore.”People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system（系统）that will organize the trip around the store. If youre looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them. The device also keeps a record of what you buy. When youre finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.The new computerized shopping assistants dont come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $ 160, 000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $ 500 for each device.53. The underlined word “they”（paragraph 1）refers to _.A. supermarkets B. shop assistantsC. shopping carts D. shop managers54. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of moneyB. the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devicesC. shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paidD. average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices55. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. New age for supermarkets B. Concierge and Shopping BuddyC. New computers make shopping carts smarter D. Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable第二部分 （37.5分）一、听力理解（共5小题，5分）第二节：听下面两段对话，根据题目要求在相应题号后的横线上写下关键信息。每题你有2秒钟时间阅读，并准备作答。每段对话你将听两遍。每听完一遍，每题你将有5秒钟时间写下或核实你的记录。书写要字迹清楚、工整。听下面一段对话，根据题目要求在相应题号后的横线上写下第1题至第5题的关键信息，每空一词。Sunny Taxi ServiceTaxi ReservationName: Brent 1 Phone No. : 2 Time: Before 3 a. m. 4 15thPlace: From 5 Inn to the airport二、用方框中所给单词的适当形式完成句子。（共10小题，10分）slightly attach harmful appear patienceappreciation confidence permit gather lie1.
