as the mole digs with its two front paws, it pushes the earth under its body. then it uses its back paws to kick the earth behind it out of its way. after digging like that for a while, the mole turns around and pushes all this loose earth to the surface. the mole leaves the earth in piles called molehills. there are always several molehills together. they are clear signals that moles live nearby. the biggest molehill is right above the moles nest. the smaller molehills around it are made of the earth from the hunting tunnels.moles cant live long if the air in their tunnels is too dry. farmers and gardeners detest moles. they often damage the roots of plants as they dig.moles need a lot of energy for their digging, so they need a lot of food to stay alive. they will eat their own weight in food each day. imagine what would happen if you ate that much.1. what do you know about a moles nest? a. it is above the biggest molehill.b. it is above the hunting tunnel. c. it is not really constructed. d. it has an emergency exit.2. according to the text, moles _. a. dig slowly but carefully b. live where it is slightly wet c. use their front paws to take away the soild. leave no marks while searching for food3. the underlined word “detest” in paragraph 3 probably means _. a. raise b. admire c. dislike d. harmb yasuda is 95 years old. looking for easier ways to search the web and send email, he bought apples ipad. the company has sold 3.27 million ipads since they entered the market in april. although its impossible to know with certainty how many seniors are buying them, evidence suggests that its a hit with seniors. the ipads intuitive interface（直观界面） makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says takahiro miura, a researcher at the university of tokyo. “the ipad is a good tool for seniors because its very easy to use,” he says. “unlike the pc, it doesnt require former knowledge.” james cordwell, a researcher in london, says the ipads popularity with seniors is helping apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “the worlds population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. its probably a market where apple has least entered,” cordwell says. senior users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.” seniors make up about 22 percent of the population in japan. they may prove that seniors are willing to accept the ipad. besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. motoo kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an ipad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.4. which of the following is not an advantage of the ipad?a. it has intuitive interface.b. it is easy to operate.c. beginners can use it without similar experiences.d. people can use it as a way to do mental exercise.5. what can we learn from the text?a. people above thirty are apples largest customer group in japan.b. the traditional customers of apples products are usually the young.c. seniors will soon grow into apples largest customer group.d. seniors in japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.6. what is the text mainly about?a. ipad leading apple to seniors.b. ipad influencing the customer group.c. ipads arrival causing japanese to think.d. ipad beating the traditional pc.c how to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. we naturally look up to the stars we want to sound like when were young and just experimenting with singing. but as we get older, we find that we have our own voice. in my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. if you want to sound great and attract people, just get comfortable with your own voice. do you think bob dylan has a great voice? of course not, but people love his voice and his songs. one of the main reasons is that hes very comfortable with himself and his own voice. so remember this when youre asking yourself how to sing like a superstar. i hate hearing many singers trying to imitate other singers! but it still happens all the time and yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others. i just dont feel like im listening to real art when i hear these so-called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice. now one thing i like to do is to sing other peoples songs in my own voice. yes, you can practice a great song by an artist you love while youre driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice not his or her voice. turn down the volume a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a new flavor! thats exciting and youre being true to yourself. were supposed to be artists and that means expressing ourselves in a unique way. so if youre asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.7. the author uses bob dylan as an example in order to tell us _. a. how to become a great singer b. that we should feel comfortable with our own voice c. how to have a great voice d. that a great voice helps to make a great singer8. what advice does the author give on practicing singing? a. never sing others songs. b. practice singing in your car. c. sing the song in your own style. d. turn off the music while singing.9. what can we infer from the text? a. the author is a famous singer. b. young people tend to imitate the stars they love. c. people love songs sung in a unique way. d. its not real art to sing other peoples songs.10. the text tries to persuade us to _.a. practice singing in the right way b. express ourselvesby singingc. singing in our own voice d. enjoy singing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。how to raise responsible kidskids arent born knowing how to be responsible. they must be taught. children who dont learn to be responsible for their actions grow up to become irresponsible adults and blame others for their shortcomings. 11. _assign daily chores12. _ young children can do things like pick up their toys, sort and load laundry, and recycle nonbreakable items. older kids can wash dishes, make up their beds, feed and water pets, clean the floor, and help with yard work.teach kids how to be responsible with moneykids who arent taught to be careful with money grow up to make bad financial decisions that can end in debt and poverty. 13. _ start by buying your child a piggy bank and giving him an allowance. encourage him to put 10 percent of every dollar he gets into his piggy bank to save, and teach him how to budget the rest.use logical consequences there are many times when a parent has a golden opportunity to allow the consequences of bad behavior to take effect; but due to their pity or their desire to “protect” the child, they deprive（剥夺）him of the consequences and punish him in their own way. 14. _ sometimes the consequences that follow their actions are enough to teach them to be more responsible for themselves and their things.model responsible behavior15. _ dont just tell children how to behave responsibly, show them. teaching children how to be responsible early in life will make them able to function in society as reliable adults.a. there is no need to punish children for anything bad they do.b. children learn from the behaviors and values of their parents.c. this is bad for their future development and career building.d. daily chores are a great way to teach kids how to be responsible.e. nothing is more important than teaching children to be responsible.f. children should learn the basics of money management early in life.g. listed below are some things parents can do to raise responsible kids.第二部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1分，共20分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 i was back from work. i started to take my coat _16_, when my son, justin, said, “dad! im going to play _17_ tonight.” i stared down at him. “_18_ are you playing ball?” he stared _19_ at me, “dad, i _20_ a baseball league.” he ran to the door. “its downtown.” i couldnt _21_ him. we got in the car and headed _22_. we saw a few kids with gloves on their hands. “i guess were heading in the _23_ direction.” he stared out of the window. “_24_?
