What a great philosophy it is to never quit 17 (look) for a way to get 18 youre supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. Thats 19 important attitude. You cant be so naive(幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. People 20 have a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. Its important to be realistic. You have to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead. The third part is that ants think summer all winter.

But they come out again if it is warm. They cant wait 24 (get) out. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it 25 (possible) can. What a great philosophy to have-the ant philosophy：never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.II. 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A One of the most common complaints of apartment-dwellers(居民) is annoying neighbors. Here are some ways to handle noisy neighbors. Accept Some Degree of Apartment Noise Before getting worked up over the noisy neighbors in the apartment, make sure to have realistic expectations. Everyone living in an apartment building is bound to hear noise from other units televisions, music, and children occasionally. Give Noisy Neighbors the Benefit of the Doubt Its probably the case that the neighbor who is driving everyone crazy doesnt realize how far his noise is carrying.Remember that noise level is difficult to control with children. Babies inevitably cry in the middle of the night. Meet the Neighbors and Be Friendly Making a friendly gesture will surprisingly reduce apartment noise. Neighbors who know each other will probably be much more careful not to bother each other. Address Noise Calmly and Face-to-Face If a loud noise needs to be addressed, go to the offending apartment personally and knock politely on the door. Being polite will usually bring a polite response Report Noisy Neighbors to the Landlord If a noise issue becomes a constant problem or doesnt improve after a personal request, its time to bring it up to management. Make sure to be objective and fair in your report, and be able to cite the frequency of the problem and provide details about it. Things to Avoid when Dealing with a Loud Neighbor There are some definite donts when it comes to handling life with a loud apartment neighbor. Dont Seek revenge(报复) or try to outdo a noisy neighbor Complain to them face to face repeatedly about the same issue Suffer in silence Doing these things may work for some time, but theyre never good long-term solutions. Instead, they will probably only exacerbate the situation.26. We can infer from the passage that . A. some neighbors are making noise on purpose B. we can expect to hear little noise from our neighbors C. we had better suffer in silence in face of noisy neighbors D. we should realize that noise from neighbors is unavoidable27. The author agrees that . A. we could seek revenge on noisy neighbors B. families with children can control the noise level easily C. friendly gesture has a good effect on reducing apartment noise D. people are aware that their noise has a great effect on their neighbors28. The underlined word exacerbate in the last Paragraph is closest in meaning to . A. worsen B. accept C. improve D. avoid 29. What should we do if a noise issue becomes a constant problem? A. Warn the noisy neighbour of the problem. B. Complain to the noisy neighbors repeatedly. C. Report the situation to the landlord objectively. D. Talk to the noisy neighbors face to face politely.30. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Who are your apartment neighbors? B. How to be a popular apartment neighbor? C. How to deal with noisy apartment neighbors? D. How to make friends with apartment neighbors?B Dhakas pedal-powered tricycles (脚踏三轮车) may not appear high-tech but they keep the commuters moving and do no damage to the environment. Travel, they say, broadens your mind. I am not sure if it really does but it is certainly an experience in itself. Just like the food, the public transport is also an experience. Dhaka streets are full of carbon emitting buses and trucks and noisy cars. Traffic jams are a part of daily life in Dhaka. Residents say vehicle-related pollution has been more and more serious over the last few years. Perhaps to ease the situation, some of the many non-profit non-government organizations and the civil society ought to launch a “Save the Capital campaign”. It is true that in Dhaka at any hour of the day and in many areas, there are always crowds of people going somewhere or just waiting for something to happen. One thing is sure: You will never feel lonely! One form of transport which is extremely popular, widely available, cheap, private and eco-friendly is a three-wheeled invention called rickshaw(人力车). The most interesting feature of these slow-moving pedal-powered transport is the bright and colourful “moving art” which decorates their side and back. The drawings range from romance to the wildest flights of fantasy. The scenes are common: airplanes, helicopters, and gun-battles, masked men in sports cars, rosy cheeked well-endowed women, palatial mansions, rivers and green landscape. When you hire a rickshaw, make yourself “comfortable” and tell the driver your destination, you have then become a part of the moving art exhibition. The rickshaws are decorated in vivid colours, from front to back. We cannot deny that the rickshaw art however modest it may be reaches millions everyday something only dreamt of by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Turner or Monet. While at the local level the rickshaws provide a readily available cheap means of transport and a way out of the crowded Dhaka streets, on a broader and international level the rickshaws are contributing to help bring down the citys pollution levels and ease global warming.31. The first paragraph serves as a(n) _. A. explanation B. introduction C. comment D. background32. According to the passage, the writer agrees that _. A. we can broaden our mind when traveling B. traffic jams is the most serious problem in Dhaka C. we can experience public transport when traveling D. Dhaka is the most famous travel destination33. It is true that in Dhaka _. A. there are still not enough rickshaws B. it is a little expensive to hire a rickshaw C. rickshaws are very popular and eco-friendly D. rickshaws are decorated with the drawings of famous artists34. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. the writer thinks highly of rickshaws B. rickshaws will be popular all over the world soon C. the drawings on the rickshaws covers limited topics. D. the government has launched a “Save the Capital campaign” 35. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce Dhaka to tourists. B. To report recent news in Dhaka . C. To teach tourists how to use rickshaw. D. To provide some traffic information in Dhaka.CWith Oscar Petersons death on the 23rd December 2007, Canada, and the jazz world, mourns. Oscar Emmanuel Peterson was born on August 15th, 1925, in a poor area of Montreal known as Little Burgundy. His father, Daniel Peterson, earned his living as a railway worker, but spent most of his spare time playing the piano, a passion he finally passed onto his son Oscar. However, Oscar, until he was 8 or 9, thought himself a budding professional baseball player rather than a musician. He spent more time playing ball than practising endless scales with his father - that is, until he heard some jazz on the radio.One of the jazz musicians Peterson found himself listening to on that old family radio was the partially blind, Ohio born pianist, Art Tatum. From then on he was hooked.But Petersons father knew that without a good formal musical education, the talented Oscar would be at a disadvantage. To this end, Daniel Peterson arranged for Oscar to have private lessons with a famous classical pianist Paul de Marky.By the time Peterson reached his teens he was already playing in several local Montreal jazz and dance bands, attracting audiences with his unique technique sound.And it was at that concert, in 1949, that Peterson first played with bassist(男低音) Ray Brown - a musical partnership that was to last until Browns death in 2002. After that concert Petersons career went from strength to strength, with at least five long playing records coming out each year from the mid-1950s.A highlight of his career was an invitation to write a piece of music for the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.Throughout his long career Oscar Peterson was given many awards for his services to music. He was also, apart from Queen Elizabeth II, one of the few people to get his picture on a Canadian postage stamp.In 1993 Peterson suffered a stroke(中风). In the last couple of years, he was only really playing with his right hand, which sounded better, and was faster, than most jazz pianists with two good hands. Oscar Peterson died on the Sunday before Christmas from renal failure at his home in the Mississauga suburb of Toronto.36. Who was disabled? A. Oscar Peterson. B. Paul de Marky. C. Art Tatum. D. Ray Brown.37. Which of the following statements about Oscar Peterson is TRUE? A. He was born in a rich area of Montreal. B. His picture was on a Canadian postage stamp. C.

Oscar Peterson wrote music for the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer A. d-c-b-e-a B. d-c-b-a-e C. c-d-b-a-e D. c-d-b-e-a40. It can be concluded from the passage that _. A.

Oscar Peterson poor health prevented him from playing the piano after 1993.DIf youre trying to find out what to study in college, a new report suggests you would do well choosing a major in science, technology, engineering or math.The report, based on Census and National Science Foundation data analyzed by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, shows that professions that depend heavily on skills learned in these fields are the second-fastest growing occupational group in the United States, after health care.While traditional fields like computer engineering and laboratory research make up about 5 percent of the work force, demand for science, technology, engineering and math skills is spreading far beyond, to occupations in manufacturing, transportation and mining, as well as to sales and management. As a result, the study argues that there is a shortage of so-called STEM workers.With a shortage of people trained in such fields, many technology and scientific companies in the United States are forced to employ people from abroad, the studys authors say.According to the study, people with talent in science, technology, engineering or math dont often major in such subjects during college in the first place. Of those graduating with such degrees, only 10 percent go into related fields such as engineering, physical science or architecture.Compared with many other fields outside of these majors, STEM workers can earn higher wages. On average, 65 percent of those who hold a bachelors degree in such fields will earn more than those who hold masters degrees in other subjects. Among those with associates degrees in the science and technical fields, 63 percent earn more than those who hold bachelors degrees in other subjects.“Im used to thinking of liberal arts as the foundational degree that gives you lots of choices in a career,” Mr. Carnevale said. Increasingly, he said, science, technology, engineering and math are important to a wide-ranging career. “You get a bigger bump going in, and almost at every stage you have other choices,” he said.But dont count philosophy or literature out, either. Mr. Carnevale said that in surveys of employers, one of the biggest complaints about technical workers is that they “cant talk and cant write a memo and have horrible interpersonal skills.” So maybe the best course of study is a double major. 41. According to the report, which is the fastest growing occupational group? A. Education B. Health care C. Science D. Accounting42. What do many technology and scientific companies do in the USA because of a shortage of STEM workers?A. They .plan to train STEM workers by themselves. B. They hire STEM workers from foreign countries. C. They persuade colleges to train more STEM workers. D. They want to give up hiring STEM workers .43. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. A science degree is gaining a rising value. B. Everyone should major in science, technology, engineering or math.C. People with a science degree will have the best future.D. Most people with a science degree go into related fields.44. Mr. Carnevale believes that _.A. philosophy and literature are not so important for people with science degreeB. employers focus only on workers practical skills in related fieldsC. employers pay little attention to technical workers interpersonal skillsD. people with science degree will have other choices in their career45. What is purpose of this passage?A. To persuade. B. To educate. C. To inform. D. To advise.第二节 信息匹配（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是某网站上不同专栏的一些报导。A.
