(萨尔瓦多）eight years ago without permission from the u. s. government. some call such people illegal immigrants others call them undocumented immigrants. mr. alvarado thinks it so exciting，for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. but some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. armando botello is a spokesman for the california department of motor vehicles，or dmv. he says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared. the new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words federal limits apply. that means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. ana garcia, working at the central american resource center，says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. civil rights groups say the police and others will not. dan schnur，a political scientist at the university of southern california, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. but professor schnur argued that young，white americans generally support immigration reform, including giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. “its simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did. ” professor schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in california will spread throughout the united states.25. why did the new law make mr. alvarado excited?a.because he got his driving license as a legal immigrant.b.becausehe became a legal immigrant of california.c.becausea law went into effect for the new immigrants.d.becausehe could seek a drivers license according to a new statelaw.26.what is thedifference of the new licenses compared to thosegiven to citizens?a. the words “federal limits applys will abuse illegal immigrants.b. people are not permitted to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building using the new licenses.c. they can be used to act against the police and other people.d. with the words federal limits apply, immigrants can enjoy special rights.27. what can we infer about the new license?a. some undocumented immigrants have concern over it.b. it is intended to reward illegal behavior.c. it has come into effect throughout the united states.d. dan schnur believes that it is more acceptable to young americans.28.whats the publics attitude towards the new law released on january 1 in california?a.supportive b. debatable c. doubtful d. neutralc we offer five kinds of courses. each course has been designed to help students according to their needs.course 1: general english general english is designed to develop students basic communication skills in speaking and pronunciation, reading, listening, writing, grammar and vocabulary. tuesday to friday: 9 : 00 am to 11 : 00 am, $ 288 per week. course 2 : academic english academic english is for students who want to take the ielts exam or for those who need to use english in a professional area. monday to friday: 4 :00 pm to 5: 00 pm, $ 320 per week.course 3: high school esl why not make the most of your time studying in australia with the help from ties?

it may be impossible for us to go back in time in person to witness how it happened，but scientists from yale university，us，studied the fossils of ancient birds. these fossils are like recorded tapes of ancient times that took the scientists back 150 million years. back then, there lived a kind of animal known as the archaeopteryx. it is considered to be the earliest bird because it had feathers and wings-the key factors for a bird to fly. meanwhile, it also had features of a reptile，such as teeth in its mouth, claws on its wings，and a long，bony tail，which means the ancestors of birds were probably reptiles. in order to escape from dangerous animals, reptiles leaped from tree to tree. they gradually grew feathers on their arms so they could leap a little farther, then a little farther still. however, they were far from becoming true fliers because their wings and feathers were quite different from those of birds today.looking closely at the fossils, scientists found that ancient feathers contained many layers of long feathers, like a penguins. this made the wings rather heavy and difficult for birds to move up and down. “we dont think these things could take off from the ground, said nicholas longrich, of yale university, lead author of the study. “they cant fly like a modern bird.” this is why scientists concluded that early feathers were only used by birds to glide (滑翔)from high trees, or keep warm, or maybe as camouflage (伪装),but not flying, according to national geographic. over the next millions of years, the evolution of feathers never stopped. birds developed wings that included a layer of long feathers covered with short feathers on top. this structure allowed birds to separate their feathers more easily to create wider span (翼展）and to change directions in midair. they have also grown special wrist bones so that they can spread their wings when flying and fold them into their sides when walking. this new research is throwing light not just on how birds came to fly, but more specially on how feathers came to be the way they are today-one of the most amazing and highly specialized structures in nature, said jakob vinther, from the university of bristol uk.32. according to the article, scientists conclude that early birds_。a. could already fly highb. only used feathers to keep warmc. could only leap and glided. could easily open their wings wide33. modern birds are different from their ancestors in that_。a. they have layers of long feathersb. they have special wrist bones so that they can change directions in midairc. they have a layer of long feathers topped with a layer of short feathersd. they have teeth in the mouth and long bony tails34. what is critical in finding out how feathers came to be the way they are?a. fossils of ancient birds.b. tapes of old times.c. comparing features of reptiles and birds.d. studying bones and structures of modern birds.35. the passage mainly aims to_。a. explore how birds looked 150 million years ago.b. explore how modern birds developed from ancient reptiles.c. list all the fossils of ancient birds recently discovered.d. look at the evolution of feathers that enabled birds to fly.第二节共5小题；毎小通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項。选項中有两項为 多余选項。a few things to consider before booking a flight since you cant drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undoubtedly, the fastest. luckily，there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.fly during the least popular times, tuesday, wednesday and saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of the week._ 36, since many people dont like to get up before the sun to get to the airport.37 .some airlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. if you show up early on your travel day, you can still get suitable seats. some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those. dont wait until the last-minute to book. many travelers dont know that theres a sweet spot for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. 38. fly carry-on only. baggage fees vary wildly，but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. why pay for your clothes to fly with you? if everyone in your travel party checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before you ever even get to your destination. 39 .for example, make sure all your clothing suitable, so you can take less and still make more outfit combinations, take only two pairs of shoes, plan to do a bit of laundry on your trip and bring only travel-sized clothing. 40. unless youre flying internationally, its rare that your flight comes with a free meal. snacks on the plane are not cheap and almost never healthy. dont rely on whats on the small menu and instead tuck some of your own snacks into your bag.a. pack your own snacksb. choose your seat laterc. so reduce the amount of stuff you packd. eat a lot better, and cheaper than other passengerse. you can also find reduced rates on early morning flightsf. the best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travelg. save big if youre willing to travel on major holidays, such as thanksgiving and christmas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；毎小題1.5分，满分30分阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出可以填人 空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 up until a few years ago i never thought that one of my grandparents would be in a nursing home. i had always been lucky to have them 41_. however，this changed about a year ago when my 42 had a mini-stroke (轻度中风)，which caused him to require extra care my grandmother could not 43.my family started 44 nursing homes. it took us weeks before final decision. my grandfather would have to 45 there until he improves，both mentally and physically.watching my family deal with my grandfather made me aware of the care and 46 the elderly need and i realized how 47 it is to volunteer at a local nursing home.since summer i have volunteered at his nursing home 48 i saw how lonely some of the residents (居住者）were. i have learned many things about nursing homes and the factors to consider when 49 one, including the residents quality of life, the care received, the 50 surrounding them, and the payment policy.i have been51with the recreation (娱乐）director, with whom i plan activities for the residents. i have painted the womens nails and read them 52 from their children. also, i have helped with53days like ice cream day and summer picnic day.through my volunteering i have made a new friend irene. she has two sons who 54 visit. her grandchildren, however, do visit every weekend. our friendship grew through the 55 i have had many good experiences both56and visiting my grandfather. my volunteer experience has shown me that i can bring 57 to older people.everyone will have to 58 having parents and grandparents growing older and becoming dependent on their 59. dealing with this situationhas made me a stronger and more 60 person.41.a. happy b. healthy c.energetic d.serious42.a. grandmotherb. father c.mother d.grandfather43.a. receive b. expect c.provide d.refuse44.a. looking intob.looking at c.looking between d.looking after45.a. help b.stay c.walk d.get46.a. service b.money c.time d.memory47.a.strange b.confusing c.interesting d.important48.a.though b. unless c.because d.if49.a.choosing b.building c.cleaning d.enjoying50.a.custom b. tradition c.culture d.environment51.a.working b. playing c. talking d.arguing52.a.news b.letters c. books d.papers53.a.bad b.fine c. quiet d.special54.a.frequently b. often c. seldom d.sometimes55. a. spring b. summer c. autumn d. winter56.a.volunteeringb.examining c.recovering d. treating57. a. luck b. experience c. joy d. danger58.a.imagine b.hate c.remember d. face59.a.friends b.parents c.children d. doctors60.a. optimistic b . caring c.humorous. d. confident第ii卷第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）策二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填人适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 as i boarded the plane，1 said my final goodbye to the white-sand beaches of 61 (sun) miami.“dont you wish we could live in miami?
