Harmondsworth,Longford and Cranford to the north and by Hounslow and Hatton to the east.To the south lie Bedfont and Stanwell while to the west Heathrow is separated from Colnbrook in Berkshire by the M25 motorway.History Heathrow Airport started in 1929 as a small airfield on land south-east of the hamlet of Heathrow from which the airport takes its name.At that time there were farms and market gardens and orchards there.Development of the whole Heathrow area as a very big airfield started in 1944: it was stated to be for long-distance military aircraft bound for the Far East.But by the time the airfield was nearing completion,World War had ended.The government continued to develop the airfield as a civil airport;opened as London Airport in 1946 and renamed Heathrow Airport in 1966.FacilitiesHeathrow Airport is used by over 90 airlines flying to 170 destinations worldwide.The airport is the primary hub of British Airways,and is a base for Virgin Atlantic.Of Heathrows 75.7 million passengers in 2016,93% were international travellers;the remaining 70% were bound for UK destinations.The busiest single destination in passenger numbers is New York,with over 3 million passengers flying between Heathrow and JFK Airport in 2016.21.We can know from the text that Heathrow Airport is named after a(n)_.A.personB.animalC.placeD.plant22.What can we learn about London Heathrow Airport from the text?A.It has a history or over 90 years.B.It handled fewer than 70 million passengers in 2016.C.Most of its passengers are bound for UK destinations.D.It has the third largest number of passengers in the world.23.What is the purpose of the text?A.To introduce basic information about Heathrow Airport.B.To attract more travelers to Heathrow Airport.C.To indicate the history o f Heathrow Airport.D.To show the convenience of Heathrow Airport.BChristmas was near a season that we took seriously in our house.But a week or so before the 25th,my father would give each of his children $20.This was the 1970s,and $20 was quite a bit of money.But I saw it differently.My father trusted me to have the smart to spend money wisely.Even better,he gave me the means to get it.On a very basic level,my father was giving me a shopping spree（狂欢）every year.But he was also giving me charge over my own fun,trusting my ability to manage money and making me feel like a grown-up.He didnt buy me Sherlock Holmes,but he gave me the means to walk into the bookstore and choose it for myself,so it felt like a gift from him.My mother had a gift for giving me what I needed,usually right at the moment I needed it most.This was when I was 25,I failed at being an adult on my very first try.I had quitted my previous job but had no new one.But when my mother paid me a visit,I put on a good show,telling her I had started my own company.My mother knew that I was trying hard and failing at that time.It wasnt until after she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelop thick with cash.She knew how desperately I needed it.She knew that had she just shown up with groceries,or offered to pay my rent,she would have made me feel much worse.The cold,hard cash meant she was helping me.And,funnily enough,the distance with which she gave the gift felt like she was giving me space to fix my life and preserve my dignity.My mother and father both did the same thing.One was giving me the means to take my own decisions,and the other was giving me a second chance when those decisions had cost me dearly.24.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A.His family once celebrated Christmas happily.B.His father gave the author chances to make decisions.C.His best memories about Christmas were in the 1970s.D.He used to choose books as his fathers gift on Christmas. .25.What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Money offered by his father.

B.Optimistic. C.Considerate. D.Determined.CAndrew Jackson has been sitting pretty on the $20 bill for 87 years.Is it time to bring some new blood to the banknote?The non-profit organization called Women on 20s is campaigning to put a womans face on American money. Barbara Ortiz Howard,the companys founder,would like to see a woman on the $20 bill by 2020.That year marks the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution,which gave women the right to vote.Howard got the idea when she realized that her daughter had no everyday reminders of famous women in history.She asked her friend Susan Ades Stone,a journalist,to join her cause.Part of the aim is to educate as many people as possible about as many women as possible,Ades says.We want to see how many people we can reach.American money values the successes of former presidents and founding fathers.Currently,there are only two women on money: Susan B.Anthony is the face of the rare dollar coin,and Sacagawea can be seen on the gold dollar coin.There are no women on paper bills.With help from writers and historians,Howard and Stone came up with a voting list featuring 15 important women.Ades says there is a standard for choosing candidates.They look at the womens contributions to our world, and at what challenges they faced.More than 72,000 people have voted so far in the poll.Ades says the competition has narrowed to a very close race,but wont say whos in the lead.After two rounds of voting,Women on 20s will send their campaign to the White House for consideration.The final decision is up to the Treasury Secretary,Jack Lew.Lew is unlikely to make a change without the presidents approval.But last year,when a little girl asked the president why there arent any women on US currency,he said that adding a woman is a pretty good idea.28.When did American women begin to enjoy voting rights?A.In the 1920s.

D.More than 200 years ago.29.We can know from the text that_.A.Howard and Stone decided the voting list on their ownB.Howards idea has something to do with her daughterC.so far no American women have appeared on coinsD.former presidents rule American money30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Ades has announced the victor of the voting.B.Its impossible for Jack Lew to make a change.C.The president will probably support such a change.D.The final decision is due to be made by the president.31.What can be the best title of the text?A.The future faces of moneyB.Different faces chosen on moneyC.Constant changes in money facesD.A campaign for womens faces on moneyDRed wolves used to be a common sight across the southeastern United States.But today,there are just 50 left in the wild.The red wolf is one of the most endangered wild canine species（犬科动物）in the world.In the past five years, the species population in the wild has dropped by half.The US Fish and Wildlife Service had been working for decades to reintroduce the species into the wild,but the organization recently put the program on hold.According to Cindy Dohner,the southeast regional director for the Fish and Wildlife Service,the agency is focusing on our commitment to get the science right and rebuild trust with our neighbors in those communities as we address problems regarding the recovery of the red wolf.But the animal-rights group Defenders of Wildlife said on its website that the decision made by the Fish and Wildlife Service falls well short of what is needed to continue red wolf recovery.The red wolf was declared an endangered species in 1967.By 1980,it had been hunted to extinction（灭绝）in the wild.Some hunters thought the red wolves were coyotes（土狼）, so most people killed them because they believed wolves were dangerous and would attack people.This wrong belief has made it difficult to restore the species, because people are afraid to have red wolves reintroduced near human communities.Experts say that one way to fight these fears is simply to teach people about red wolves.In reality,they are shy animals that they dont get close to humans and hunt mostly at night.According to the Fish and Mildlife Service, captive breeding centers in the US are home to about 200 red wolves.But without continued efforts from the government and private groups,red wolves will continue to suffer.32.The underlined phrase put.on hold in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.A.paused B.promoted C.overlooked D.accomplished33.What does Defenders of Wildlife think of the Fish and Wildlife Services decision?A.Practical. B.Annoying. C.Satisfactory. D.Disappointing.34.The trouble in reintroducing red wolves near human communities lies in_.A.humans over-hunting B.fears in human beingsC.shortage of food in the wild D.lack of governmental support35.What can we know about red wolves from the text?A.They dont hunt in the daytime at all.B.Their total population in the world is only 50.C.They keep away from humans due to shyness.D.They are dangerous because they attack people.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。Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium（千年）by the media.
