The atmosphere was so soft that you could hear them talking. The first one said, I am PEACE, however, nobody can keep me lit. I believe I will go out. Its flame rapidly weakens and goes out completely. The second one says, I am FAITH. I am no longer essential, so it does not make any sense that I stay lit any longer. “When it finished talking, a wind softly blew on it, putting it out. Sadly, the third candle spoke in its turn, I am LOVE. I have not got the strength to stay lit. People put me aside and dont understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.” And waiting no longer, it goes out. Suddenly a child entered the room and saw three candles not burning,” Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit till the end.” Saying this, the child began to cry. Then the fourth candle said, “Dont be afraid. While I am still burning, we can re-light the other candles. I am HOPE.” With shining eyes, the child took the candle of Hope and lit the other candles. Hope never abandons you. Dont follow your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Dont think about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Dont concern yourself with what you have tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.21.

The love goes out because it thinks people don t need it any longer.B. As long as there is hope in our hearts, everything is possible.C. All the candles go out when the child enters the room.D. Compared to unfulfilled potential, try and failure matter more.23. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Four burning candles B. Never abandon loveC. Everything is possible D. Follow your heartB “If the one ever appeared, anyone else would just be a compromise. But I dont want to compromise. This line has become the talk of the town since TV drama My Sunshine was first released on Jan 10.Many fans follow the series because of all the pretty faces, especially charming Tiffany Tang, 31, and the attractive Wallace Chung,40. However, the show s success is also due to the tremendous fan base its original Web novel Silent separation has accumulated since 2003. The novel started a craze as soon as writer Gu Man published the first chapter online.The story is about two sweethearts that separate and are given a second chance. Zhao Mosheng and He Yichen fall in love in college but separate due to misunderstandings. Seven years later, fate connects them together again. They work hard to clear their misunderstandings and, in the end, become happily married.The TV drama attracts me not only because it stays true to the novel, but also because it describes my ideal romance. Whether they admit it or not, every woman dreams of having a handsome man chase after them exclusively (专一地). Well, He Yichen is just that. As one of the top lawyers in China, he is attractive, competent, sensible and rich. But after getting married, the seemingly cold lawyer gives Zhao a dream wedding, cooks for her, picks her up after work and protects her anytime she needs it-almost everything a dream husband should do.Also, what makes the TV drama stand out among so many series is the love between the main couple is touching but not unrealistic. It is not only a fantasy or a daydream that takes the audience away but also an experience that can occur in our daily lives.My Sunshine is a success, at least for me. It maintains the beauty of the novel, adds attractive faces to create a feast for the eyes, satisfies many girls fantasies about love, and most importantly, encourages all of us to seize every available opportunity to embrace happiness.24.

The newly discovered planet of ice and rock is 280 miles in diameter (直径) and is in a distant area of the solar system way beyond Pluto once thought to contain no planets at all.The objectnamed VP or Biden after the US Vice Presidentis only the second to be found in a mysterious area at the boundary between the solar system and outer space called the inner Oort Cloud.Astronomers now believe there may be thousands of previously unknown objects orbiting the Sun at this distance. And they believe that the pattern of the new planets orbit suggests it is caused by the gravitational (引力的 ) pull of a Super Earth that traces such a large orbit around the Sun that it has never been seen.Astronomer Scott Sheppard, who found the new planet with his colleague, Chad Trujillo, said: If you took a Super Earth and put it a few hundred astronomical units out, the gravity could lead this new object into the orbit it has.”The traditional view of the solar system had been that of nine planets orbiting the Sun. This was challenged in the 1990s when scientists found Pluto is orbiting in a band of thousands of icy objects called the Kuiper Belt.Beyond this belt, only one object, called Sedna, was thought to exist on its own. But the latest discovery suggests our solar system has a number of planets at its edge.28. Which of the following is TRUE?A.

The passage is possibly taken from .A. a science fiction B. a news report C. a novel D. a magazineDWithout any previous notice, Under the Dome, a 103-minute documentary self-funded by former news anchor Chai Jing, dominated headlines and social websites overnight. It has rapidly pushed the public awareness about air pollution and encouraged people to join in efforts to make a difference.Chai, 39, said she started the work out of her personal conflicts with smog after she gave birth to a daughter. I sealed tight all the windows. I started every day by checking the air pollution index, Chai said. Millions of other people are also doing the same. While they stop there, Chai goes deeper. “I don t want to live in this way. I need to find out where the smog comes from and what on earth is going on.”Over a year, she investigated polluted sites to find the sources of smog, visited the US and the UK to learn about their anti-pollution experiences, and interviewed officials, scientists and the general public.Chais research reveals that the burning of coal and oil contributes to 60 percent of PM2. 5 pollutants. She thus questions the countrys energy consumption habits in the film.She then goes on to expose loopholes（漏洞）in car emissions（尾气排放）regulations. Some of the laws have been in place for years, but have never been applied. The film also explains that businesses are pressured not to follow the laws because violating them carries little or no cost, while making changes greatly increases costs. The film also points at Chinas petroleum（石油）and steel industries as the biggest sources of air pollution.Terrible pictures of dead trees, smoggy skies, and babies under treatment have moved viewers. But most importantly, the film looks at solutions that the government and individuals can carry out to help.32. What didnt Chai Jing do in order to make the documentary?A. Investigated polluted sites to find the sources of smog. B. Raised some money.C. Visited the US and the UK to learn about their anti-pollution experiences.D.

Some loopholes in car emissions regulations.C. Chinas petroleum and steel industries. D. The countrys energy consumption habits.34.

What will most probably be talked about in the paragraph that follows?A. The effects of the documentary. B. The viewers different reactions.C. The steps to be taken. D. The difficulties Chai met when shooting the documentary.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。It is important to have good study habits. 36 Here are a few tips to help you in your studies. 37 Its OK to spend a little extra time studying right before a big test, but you dont want to try to learn everything that night. Give yourself plenty of time to get things done. Figure out when you study best and then study at that time every day, which will make you energetic. Study the most difficult subjects first. Doing this allows you to devote all of that fresh power to the materials that give you the most trouble. 38 Dont study in a room that is too hot or too cold, and make sure there is adequate lighting. Be aware of what things take your attention away the most and avoid them at all costs during study time. Dont do homework in front of the TV. Dont try to study if you are tired, depressed, angry, or feeling rushed. 39 Friends can be a great resource. You can compare notes and ask each other questions at the end of a period of study. Friends can also keep you motivated to study. It has been proved that short bursts of concentration repeated frequently are more effective than one long period of concentration. Studying for hours on end is boring. 40 While studying, try to relate the information to things you already know or to your own experiences. Making that connection can make new information more interesting and memorable.A. So you can save up more time.B. It is worthwhile spending more time on the harder subjects.C. It is better to study when your brain is not affected by other emotional issues.D. Make some changes in your study habits.E. Schedule some daily study time.F. And it stresses out your body and mind.G. With the proper study skills, you can significantly improve your grades.笫三部分 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四个选项（A.B.C和D）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。There was a proud lion walking through the jungle.
