a. perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers.b. perth is bigger than any other city in western australia. c. no other city is larger than perth in australia.d. perth lies in the west of australia.( )5. in perth you may visit a wild flowers show in season. a. a coolb. a warm c. the coldest d. the hottest( )6. when the bells were heard to be ringing at the top of the hill, . a. there was some danger aheadb. there was a parade along the path c. a wild flower show was open to the publicd. a large amount of sheep would come down soonca new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in eastern england. this could end the worries of many parents over their childrens safety on the roads. until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if there is a special need. now it the new plan is to be carried out this term for children living at milton who attend impington school.the children live just within the three-mile limit（限度） and the local government have said in the past that they would not agree to provide free transport to the school. but now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from milton to impington and back, a plan which has the support of the schools headmaster. between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. final calculations (计算) still have to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than 20 a term. they have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away from impington. the same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the milton children. the official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.( )7.what is the aim of the plan? a.to prevent the students road accidents. b.to save time for the parents and students.c. to reduce the traffic pressure. d. help the parents save money.( )8.the new bus service will be paid for by_.a. the parents b. the local governmentc. the bus company d. the local government and the parents( )9.this passage is most probably_.a. a personal letter b.an advertisementc.a headmasters report d. a newspaper articled the over-coloured clothes, outsize shoes and bright red nose are enough to catch the eye. and when the clown (小丑) is riding a unicycle, surely the sight is impossible to miss. not, it seems, if you are talking on a mobile phone. three out of four men and women making calls failed to notice a clown riding past them on his one-wheeled bike. they were so lost in their talks that they didnt know what was going on around them. the finding may seem unsurprising to anyone who has had to avoid(避开) mobile phone users on pavements and in supermarkets. but it will again make people think about whether it is ok to chat on the phone while driving-even with a hands-free kit (装备). for the study, researchers asked a clown to ride a unicycle around a university campus square and then questioned 151 passers-by on whether they had noticed him. around half of those not using mobiles, including those listening with their ipods, saw the clown. those walking in twos were the most observant (善于观察的), with 81 percent mentioning the clown when questioned. in contrast（与此相反）, only 25 percent of the mobile phone users had noticed him. all of these mean that talking on the telephone takes more effort than chatting to someone at your side. a second experiment showed that the phone users werent even able to talk and walk in a straight line. pedestrians（行人） using phones walked more slowly, changed direction more often and were less likely to nod or wave at acquaintances (熟人). chatting on a mobile phone can make even the simplest of tasks more difficult. the effects could be magnified (扩大) when carrying out more difficult activities such as driving. if people experience so much difficulty performing the task of walking when theyre on phone, just think what this means when put into the situation of driving safety.( )10.what kind of people were least likely to notice the clown?a.those walking in pairs. b. those listening with ipods.c.those chatting with each other. d. those talking on mobile phones.( )11.when talking on a mobile phone, you may_.a. walk faster than usualb. greet others as usual c. change directions frequentlyd.walk in a straight line( )12.which of the following activities takes the most effort?a. walking and talking to somebody at your side.b. walking and talking to somebody on a mobile phone.c. driving and listening to music with an mp3.d. driving and talking to somebody on a mobile phone.( )13 .this passage is mainly to tell the readers that_.a. talking on a mobile phone makes people fail to notice anythingb. even a clown on a unicycle cant catch all the peoples attentionc.having a talk with others has no bad effect on peoples attentiond.the possible danger is caused by using a mobile phone while driving第二卷（主观题，共40分）五、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）a) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。1. if you ask what 2013 will be like,one answer is that it is sure to be even more _（令人兴奋的）than 2012.2.i wonder if there are any _ (建议) about how to deal with the problem of diaoyu island.3.mrs. gao is the _ (严格的) teacher ive ever met in my life.4.after spending 520 days in a mock-up spacecraft, plus one month for _(实验，试验), wang yue , the only chinese volunteer in the mars-500 program returned to beijing on tuesday.b)根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。5.though we were full of _ (sad) after hurricane sandy, we tried our best to give a hand.6.your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be _(true) satisfied is to do wh
