The law went into effect on January l. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador 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.21. Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited?A. Because he can request a drivers license.B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California. C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant. D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.22. What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens? A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrants B. They cant be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. 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.23. Whats the publics attitude towards the new law released on January l in California? A. supportive B. negative C. neutral D. controversialBWalking tall, and safelySome women simply refuse to give up high heels, despite slush (雪泥), ice and snow. Now theres WinterTrax for them, designed to fit over high-heel boots and make their walk on the wild side a little more safe. Metal coils (圈) wrap around rubber at the front end of the shoe, with the heel end open.Snow skirt steps up into fashionDown with snow pants. Up with snow skirts! Montreals Fantasy World Heroes has created these skirts to layer over minis and jeans as the snow season sets in. In a range of colors and available in wool, and quiltings, they come in four sizes and adjustable.Doc Martens, those army-inspired leather boots, are back. They were last popular when Kurt Cobain was all the rage (风靡一时). So far, just a few teens and fashion people have been spotted wearing the slight fat boots, but they have already appeared on stylish models like Irina Lazareanu and Agyness Deyn. Neon stores sold Doc Martens 15 years ago and its owner Irving Tajfel wasnt sure at first if he was ready to relive the trend. I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Doc Martens at a fashion fair in Barcelona last year. Then I saw all the cool fashion kids wearing them in Paris. That got me thinking that it was about time Doc Martens came back in style here. Tajfel said.24. We can know from the passage that WinterTrax .

No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa,teaand some kinds of vegetables,mayimprove age-related memory failure. Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology (神经病学) at Columbia University in new York City. He is theleadwriter of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, somesubjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests. The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is theleadresearcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules(胶囊). The studysubjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one groups capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo Dr. Manson says its not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）maybe developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for ourhealth.28.

Thesubjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.30. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study? A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.B. To carry out the experiment further. C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory. D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A Its not necessary for us to eat chocolate. B The more we eat flavones, the better ourhealthwill be. C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate. D. Its easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the testsubjects.DAll you have is what you bring with youIve always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation Ive found myself in.My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old.

Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month. 36We also call Leap year the bissextile year (闰年). 37In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once）is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra dayFeb 29 every four yearshelps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar. 38 However, Caesars adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory X ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 39People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us. 40But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations asmostpeople.A. They acknowledge that they get older each B. When you see Feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leapyear. C. This is its formal, or scientific title. D. Thismayseem complicated, but it works. E. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days F. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC. G. This is done every four years.第三部分 语言运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesnt know when to let go（放手）.

We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicoles face 49 with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished, 50 she should have discussed it with me.
