They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them. Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. Hes a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen onBike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “Youve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references(对照) the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary. His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattles reputation as a friendly city. 24. Bike Batman is _. A. a superhero B. a website managerC. a Seattle citizen D. a police officer25. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _. A. contact the owner of the stolen bikeB. look up the bikes information C. call the police department D. arrange to meet the thief26. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to _. A. become famousB. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a friendly city27. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident C. the police failed to perform their dutiesD. the thieves refused to return the bikesCDear Sir,There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate（住宅区）, on the land where the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against the idea of building a supermarketI just think that as a community（社区） we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing ourselves (执行).It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condition. It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to have. But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isnt a must because of the Internet and so on. Is this necessarily true, especially for elderly people? What about young people who dont have the Internet at home and need to go to the library to do their homework? Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would also bring some much-needed jobs for younger people in the townand this is a good point. What we need to do is consider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life. Certainly local people, including me, will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra traffic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only thatwe will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an influence on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselves.I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an open-minded wayand I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair discussion of the issues（问题） involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to everyones view. Is that too much to ask?Yours faithfully,Tom Watkins 28. The supporters of the supermarket probably think _. A. the library is no longer neededB. the library is too poor to be rebuilt C. the supermarket brings down goods priceD. supermarket increases local workers income29. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Shopping convenience.B. Job opportunity. C. Life quality. D. Traffic condition.30. What is the authors attitude toward the plan? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Sceptical. （怀疑的）D. Confident. 31. Why is the letter written? A. To promote effective public reading. B. To call for concern over an urban（城市的）project. C. To discuss ways of improving life quality. D. To express dissatisfaction with public equipment. DFeathers are not just for flight. They keep birds warm, and attract mates. And for one Australian bird, feathers even help produce an important soundan alarm.“People had long noticed these birds produced these loud sounds.” Trevor Murray, a researcher at the Australian National University said. “My supervisor Rob Magrath and May Hingee thought they were used as an alarm. So they did some playbacks and they could show quite strongly that if you play back these sounds to other birds, they flee straightaway. So I was really interested in how they produce the sound, whether it is actually a signal, and whether its a reliable signal.”The team focused their experiment on specific feathers in the pigeons wing. “We were able to target(把作为目标) the eighth primary feather, which is unusually narrow. And then we also removed, on different sets of birds, those neighboring feathers, the ninth primary feather and the seventh primary feather. And we were able to see when the eighth primary feather was missing, the high note had completely disappeared. So the eighth primary feather produced that high note and the ninth primary feather actually produced the low note.” And if the birds are fleeing from danger, they produce a louder and higher sound than they do during a normal takeoff. The study is in the journal Current Biology. Murray and his colleagues did another experiment where they used the recordings they made to observe the reactions of other pigeons. “We were able to see the unusual eighth primary feather was important for signaling the alarm. When that eighth primary feather was missing, they very rarely responded. They almost never fled. Whereas when the ninth primary produces the sound, they fled just as much as to normal alarms. This shows us this unusual primary feather is important for signaling alarm.” That makes birds of a feather flee together.32. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The birds B. Rob and May C. The feathers D. The loud sounds33. What did Rob Magrath and May Hingee find out about the birds?A. They fly away as a group. B. They produce different notes.C. They send alarms with feathers. D. They attract mates with feathers.34. Why did the team remove different feathers?A. To record the notes they produce. B. To keep the pigeons stay in cagesC. To compare their width and length. D. To observe other pigeons reactions.35. According to Murray and his colleagues, why does the unusual feathers matter most?A. It keeps the pigeons warm B. It responds to alarmsC. It helps birds fly more quickly D. It sounds alarms of danger.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Where did your family eat dinner last night? In the car on the way to sport? At McDonalds? Or at the dinner table? A survey taken a few years ago found that 28% families ate dinner together at home seven nights a week. Another quarter said they ate together three or fewer nights a week. Once upon a time the situation was different. 36 Plates, forks and spoons would be laid out. As dinner time approached, an increasing number of hungry mouths would begin to appear with the question, “Whats for dinner”? 37 The data seems to point to two main issues: overworked parents and overscheduled children. When mum or dad do get home in the evening, they are soon in the car again to send the children to soccer, music, tutoring, and a host of other events. This nightly ceremony around the dinner table is both vital and fruitful; it is what keeps a family together. Sure, the conversation is not always significant and children argue. And sometimes the deepest and most meaningful times in a family are not at the table at all. 38 The dinner table is the place where a family builds an identity. Stories are passed down, jokes are exchanged and the wider world is examined through the lens（镜头） of a familys values. Children pick up vocabulary and a sense of how conversation is structured. 39 Dinner time is “family time”. Coming back daily to the same place helps gain familiarity. The significance of dinner time is more than above. Studies show that the more families eat together, the less likely the children are to smoke, drink, get depressed, and develop eating disorders, and the more likely they are to do well in school and learn how to socialize. One professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey stated, “A meal is about civilizing children. 40 ” So start by planning some stay at home family dinners together. Just family talk. A. Its a time to teach them to be a member of their culture.B. Each night the dining table would be set with a simple cloth. C. Why not cut back on a few activities and have dinner with your family?D. What accounts for this decline in families eating together today though? E. They also learn good table manners, something that will benefit them for life.F. It was important for children and parents to sit down together and get to know each other. G. However, there is still something unique about the time a family spends around the dinner table.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。No Direction HomeIn August last year, my parents and I visited our relatives in Princeton Junction, New Jersey. Every day I enjoyed walking a circular way starting from their house. One evening I decided to be adventurous and changed from my _41_ wayI was looking forward to a longer walk, _42_ that I would be able to find my way back.My walk took me _43_ the living area and into a beautiful place with an expanse of fields on both sides of the road. With the sun beginning to _44_, it was really a wonderful sight. After about thirty minutes, I noticed that I was not _45_ back in the direction I had comein fact I seemed to be moving further away. I searched my pocket for the mobile phone to get help, but it wasnt there. I had _46_ it at home.However, I remained _47_.

There was no one in sight and my family was completely in the dark as to my _53_.When I just gave up all hope, a black SUV _54_ me and stopped. A mother and daughter wanted to know how they could help. I told them I was lost and gave them my address. The mother pointed to a turning a little further down the road and _55_ me I was pretty close to home. Expressing my thanks, I started off at a fast _56_.I had been walking for about five minutes when I heard a car drive up behind me and stop. It was the mother and daughter again. They realized that they had not given me the correct _57_ and my destination was much further away.They offered to _58_ me home, and I was so grate
