2005. now many european countries are expected to follow this example.despite the different languages, travel across europe has never been so simple. just five years ago, if you wanted to visit germany in the north and spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas (签证) from the two countries. you also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.today, with a schengen visa issued by any member countries, you can travel across 15 european countries without stopping. since 2002, within most of the eu, there is now just one type of money called the euro. the euro was designed to be the only money in the eu, and already makes it easier to shop around. if you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid (有效的)

i could sense the safety he felt.however, my home life is completely different from the scene that greets me each morning at work. as a lawyer at eastlake juvenile court (少年法庭), i always see kids that society has labeled the worst of the worst, the “thief”, the “robber”, the list goes on. but they are still children. as i sit across from them, i have a chance to talk to them about their lives, their homes, and their dreams. i sit through tears, i sit through anger, but mostly i sit through hurt. i see their parents, most of whom sit in the hallways day after day wanting to take their kids home. i also see mothers and fathers that come to the court ready to walk away from their children forever. each day i see hope destroyed.i have come to realize that these children are our future, even if we dont want to admit it. they also want to sleep on a mothers shoulder at night, they also had dreams and smiled in their sleep when they were babies. but then something terrible happened, which robbed (剥夺) them of that youth, that hope, and that joy. i hope one day we can find how to put back the destroyed childhoods and ruined lives.every day when i go home, i hold my children tightly in my arms and say “i love you” over and over again. and as i am filled with hope, i cannot forget those children i leave behind. i live in two worlds, one of promise, one of tragedy. no matter what they are accused (指控) of, what crimes (罪行) they have carried out and what society thinks of them, they are children, they are our children and our future.29. the author mentions her son in paragraph 1

authors purpose in writing the text?a. to win support for problem children.b. to show her deep love for her child.c. to accuse those parents who ruin their childrens life.d. to show the difficulty of

introduction to the subject.organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think its better for their health. whether thats true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but its also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. according to a report by the world resources institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. fertilizers and the much more deadly pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them finally find their way into rivers and seas. sometimes they break down harmlessly, but theyre just as likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.many people find it puzzling that organic products are more expensive. after all, youre doing away with expensive chemicals. so shouldnt they be more expensive? organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive way of farming and thats why it costs more. as a responsible (有责任的) consumer, its up to you to decide where to put your money. are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?33. which of the following does the author agree on?a. organic food can be produced in great amounts.b. organic food tastes better than traditional food.c. organic food is better for the environment.d. organic food is better for peoples health.34. the underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “_”.a. keeping away fromb. making use ofc. taking advantage of d. getting rid of35. whats the authors attitude towards organic food?a. supportive. b. uncertain.c. worried. d. doubtful.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。have you ever felt like you spend a lot of time being busy, but at the end of the day you dont feel like youve really gained anything? 36 the reason is while i spent a lot of time working on urgent (紧急的) things, none of them was important. i try to stay focused on important, rather than simply urgent, tasks each day by using the following methods. 37 often the best way to find out what the most important tasks are is to choose your three most important items for the day. ask yourself, “if i could only do these three things today, would i feel happy and satisfied?”focus on providing value.one of the easiest ways for me to discover whether im working on important or urgent things is asking myself how much value the task will provide for me or others. i know going to the gym and writing articles will have a better long-term effect than checking my e-mail every 30 minutes and playing games. 38 first things first. 39 when i spend my time working on unimportant but urgent items, i end up getting caught up in trying to put out the next fire. also, when i try to work on my important tasks later in the day, theres usually more distractions (分心的事).have a clear vision (构想).this goes along with setting your most important tasks. but here were thinking about our long-term vision. creating a vision is about seeing clearly where youd like to be in the next 5, 10 or 20 years. 40 think about whether or not the work youre doing is moving you closer to your vision.a. when we have a clear idea of what we want the future to be, its much easier to focus on important tasks.b. try to set an example for others.c. ive felt this way quite often.d. spend most of our time doing whats most important to us.e. ask yourself, “how much value will this provide for me, or someone else?”f. set three most important tasks for the day.g. i find the best way is to start on the most important tasks right away in the morning.第三部分语言知识运用(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)阅读下面的短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。one day, our teacher, mr. sims, announced that the destination of the seventh grade
