to people stuck in the 17 behind two small boys. as i approached the counter (柜台) to 18 the attendant, i noticed the two little guys standing at the front of the line, which was growing 19 by the

this candy. if you dont have it, you dont 22 it.”i 23, as the small boys shuffled (移步) from one foot to another without any 24, just staring at the attendant, their wide eyes filled with tears. the

she was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening, she was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent call from her sister, “get over here!” a few hours later, jane found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of utah, picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.armed with a deep love of the environment and a desire to make a difference, jane, davey, and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up. as they walked, sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day, they slowly and steadily made their way across the united states, picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish. in the end, three years and 3,672 miles later, they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the pacific. the road is windy, often up-hill. “with a rubbish bag as your companion, how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference? where do you find the strength to keep going?” as i asked jane and davey to answer these questions, they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey. a small group of us were lucky enough to spend two hours last wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of jane and davey. as they shared their deep concern for the environment, we together experienced their real spirit. jane and davey, like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community, might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects. in many ways, it is exactly that which makes their story so attractive.36. why did janes sister call her out?a. to ask her to prepare dinner for them.b. to ask for advice on picking up rubbish.c. to beg her to help them out of trouble.d. to ask her to join them in their activity.37. how did the group travel across the united states to gather rubbish?a. by bus.b. on foot.c. by train.d. by bike.38. what gave them the courage to go on their journey?a. good teamwork spirit.b. great interest in traveling.c. deep love of natural beauty.d. deep concern for the environment.39. which of the following can best describe jane and her teammates?a. their action is wiser than environmental projects.b. their effort will stop nature from being polluted.c. ordinary people have done extraordinary things.d. they are famous heroes of environmental protection.40. the author writes the text to _.a. admireb. complainc. encouraged. persuadebdo students learn better when theyre placed with classmates of the same sex? educators at an all-girl school in washington, d.c. believe they do, but other experts say there is no real evidence to support that idea. they believe there are other more important things that make a school effective. excel academy, which opened its doors in 2008, is the first all-girl school in washington, d.c. and is independently operated and supported by taxpayers. one of its students is anyreah clavijo who is 10 years old. anyreah attended kindergarten in a classroom with boys. she says boys have different interests than girls. she has been at excel academy for the last five years and prefers being in an all-girl school. “they make me feel that im loved and that im the smartest person in the world,” anyreah said. excel academy provides free education for a mostly low-income community and serves more than 600 girls, from preschool through grade five.kaye savage, excel academys founder and chief executive officer, says that teachers often teach the boys in co-educational settings. the boys are a little louder and much more active than the girls and the girls end up becoming second-class citizens in their own classrooms and in their own schools.but galen sherwin at the american civil liberties union says that the evidence really isnt there to support the claim that single-sex education produces better results. “similarities between boys and girls are much greater and more relevant than any differences. certainly any differences that exist are not relevant from an educational viewpoint,” she said. “but regardless of gender, a key factor for educational success is early development,” said elaine weiss, an education expert at the economic policy institute. “everything that happens in childrens early development, for example, how their mothers felt during pregnancy, how many books there were in the home, whether they had access to pre-kindergarten programs, prepares them more or less for kindergarten,” she said.and while savage believes excel academys gender-segregated classrooms make a difference, weiss says other factors at the school have a bigger impact, especially on girls who would otherwise not have such opportunities. “they start for example in preschool, so theyre addressing that early gap before kids get to school,” she said. “they keep their classes relatively small so that teachers can have a one-on-one conversation and interaction with students.”41. we can learn from the passage that excel academy _.a. raises funds to run the school on its own b. is the only all-girl school in the united states c. is operated on its own with taxpayers support d. offers students from all social classes free education 42. according to kaye savage, what might be the greatest disadvantage of co-educational schools?a. girls cannot get the same attention as boys. b. girls cannot develop their personal interests. c. teachers are required to put in a great deal of effort. d. schools are required to offer high-quality educational programs. 43. when it comes to how to make a school effective, those whore against single-sex education _. a. cant offer any better way or suggestion b. agree small-class teaching might work better c. stress that equal education is the most important d. think theres no difference between boys and girls 44. the underlined word “addressing” in the last paragraph probably means _.a. causing b. handling c. speaking d. increasing 45. what is the authors attitude towards single-sex education?a. positive.b. negative. c. objective. d. ironic.csomeday, umbrellas may do more than just keep people dry. a researcher in the netherlands has designed a simple sensor (感应器) that “listens” to rain. and that sensor can turn an umbrella into a rain-measuring “whiz (能手)”.“rain radar is a beautiful way of seeing where rainfall is up in the air. but you never know where it hits the ground,” says rolf hut. he designed the umbrella sensor.researchers want to know how much rain makes it to the planets surface. not all rain that falls from a cloud reaches the ground. and it can be difficult for radar and satellites to gauge (测量) that rain, particularly in cities. a large number of big buildings can change how air and rain moves during a storm. this is one reason that it can be pouring in one spot and raining a little 10 to 20 blocks away.hut showed off his umbrella at the european geosciences union general assembly meeting in vienna, austria, in late april. he is a water-management researcher at delft university of technology in delft, the netherlands.on the inside of the umbrella is a small, yellow disk. it is the rainfall sensor. the sensor is attached to a black bluetooth headset that transmits the collected data to a smart phone.the unique sensor on huts umbrella started as part of a project to design low-cost weather stations, including rain gauges, for use in africa.direct measurement of water isnt necessary for figuring out how much water has fallen. sound also can convey such information. from the pitter-patter of rain on the roof, a person can estimate how much rain is falling. hut and a colleague, along with several students, came up with a low-cost sensor that works in a similar way: it “listens” to the rain. their sensor records the sound of each drop as it hits. that gauge can “hear” how big a raindrop is and how fast its falling. a computer can sum up those data to figure out how much rain lands over time. 46.why is it difficult to measure rain in the cities?a. because buildings can change how air and rain move. b. because most of rain falls on buildings. c. because buildings block radar and satellite signals. d. because rainwater disappears quickly in the cities. 47. hut invented the umbrella based on the idea that _.a. it is hard to tell where rain hits the ground b. sound of raindrops tells how much rain has fallenc. sensors can measure rainfall d. rain radar can tell where rain falls 48. in huts umbrella, a black bluetooth headset is used to _.a. transmit the collected data to a smart phone b. attach the sensor to the umbrellac. send the data to a computerd. figure out how much rain has fallen 49. what do we know about huts umbrella?a. it is intended for experts.b. it cant give accurate measurement. c. it is low-cost and useful. d. it makes direct measurement of water. 50. what is the text mainly about?a. a low-cost weather station. b. how the umbrella was invented.c. a new way to measure sunlight. d. an umbrella that “listens” to rain. dmalaria (疟疾) is a disease that kills more than 600,000 people every year. children are the most likely victims of malaria. they live in latin america and asia, but mostly in sub-saharan africa where the most deadly situation of the disease is found. about every 60 seconds a baby dies from malaria, usually a baby living in sub-saharan africa. survivors may suffer permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. about 3.3 billion people, half the worlds population, are at risk of malaria. people living in the poorest sub-tropical and tropical countries are most likely to get the disease.dr. peter agre at johns hopkins university says malaria is a disease of the poor. developed countries rid themselves of malaria by drying ponds, using the mosquito curtain, and constructing higher buildings where mosquitoes that carry the disease dont live. people in poor countries cant do that.a new plan to control malaria is under way. funds for bed nets, insecticide (杀虫剂) spray, testing and medicine to treat malaria have cut the death rate from malaria by as much as 50 percent. much more needs to be done. researchers are trying to change the mosquito so it cant spread malaria. other research involves developing new medicines and a vaccine (疫苗).along the thai-cambodian border, drugs used to treat malaria take longer to work. thats generally the first sign the mosquito has developed drug resistance. if it spreads, researchers predict millions of people will die.“the thing that were hoping for is with a combination of treatment, prevention like bed nets and others, and a good vaccine, that some day, we may be able to get rid of malaria,” said agre. this would help the worlds poorest children, their families and entire countries.51. in paragraph 1, the writer mainly talks about _.a. the difficulty in dealing with malariab. the way how malaria attacks victimsc. the severe situation brought by malaria d. the harm to children caused by malaria52. what makes the spread of malaria so serious according to dr. peter agre?a. laziness.b. poverty.c. pollution.d. carelessness.53. what do we know from paragraph 3?a. researchers have nearly controlled malaria.b. scientists are taking actions against malaria.c. there are no effective ways to beat malaria.d. the mosquito in the future will be harmless.54. what is agres wish according to the last paragraph?a. improving the living standard of people. b. inventing more effective ways of studying.c. providing more help for the students.d. getting rid of malaria in the future.55. the underlined word “they” in paragraph 1 probably refers to “_”.a. victims of malariab. researchers c. survivorsd. mosquitoes第三部分 书面表达(共两节，满分35分)第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）。 1 frustrations come in many forms. you may feel frustrated
