Apples，which are about 85 percent of water，grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas. Among the leading countries in apple production are China，France and the United States.There are various kinds of apples. But a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious，Golden Delicious，and McIntosh.Apples are different in colour，size and taste. The colour of the skin may be red，green，or yellow. They have various sizes，with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart. Generally，sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make apple sauce.Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metes. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter，this cold period is good for the tree.21It can be learned from the text that Delicious apples are_.Agrown in France Bsold everywhereCvery big Dquite sweet22Cold winter weather is good for_.Athe growth of apple treesBproducing large applesCimproving the taste of applesDthe increase of water in apples23China，France and the United States are considered to_.Abe large producers of applesBbe large producers of apple sauceChave the longest history in apple productionDhave the coldest winter among apple producing countries24The underlined word“yielded”in the last sentence means“_”Aimproved Bincreased Cproduced DsoldBAs China becomes increasingly urbanized (城市化的)，it has to find space for its urban and rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated. Experts suggest a possible model way may be reinventing a “garden city”Chinas megacities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing ruralurban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the worlds largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a longterm study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education.The concept is already practiced at grass roots level. Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. Its common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, therere fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruitall enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing.Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy，with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.25Some experts suggest reinventing a “garden city” because_.Ait is the only model way to save the cities Bit helps stop destroying the rural areasCincreasing urbanization takes place in China DChina has the largest population to feed26What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?ATo show the experts concern about the increase of population.BTo persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities.CTo explain the reasons for the change of ruralurban framework.DTo inform the readers of the consequences of quick urbanization.27In Hua Lis opinion, a combination of country and city will_.Abenefit the environment and lower living costsBbecome a project that needs a longterm studyClead to more rural communities being replacedDattract more farmers to take tours in cities28As for the concept of the “garden city”，the writer feels_.Adesperate Bhopeful Cdisappointed DconcernedCDuring the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything，from organized sports to music，dance and more. But we can overdo it，leaving our children feeling a little burnt out，and according to parent educator Diane Loisie，its their school work that suffers the most，“After school，if theyre busy in a number of sporting events，besides，they need to do their homework，then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if youre filling up that after school time，then its during the day theyre going to be taking a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that theres a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“Relaxing time is important for children. Its time just to do the things they want to do. Children can go up to their room，or they can play around. It doesnt look like productive time；parents certainly wouldnt be saying Wow，are they ever learning things now？ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep，but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”Its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all，many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is part of that. However，Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything，then what were doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” So choose your childrens activities wisely. It may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!29What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?AThey can get bored easily about everything.BThey might have no time to do the homework.CThey might not pay much attention to learning.DThey can not easily focus on learning during the day.30What does Professor Claire McDermott think of childrens playing around?AIt is productive. BIt is a bad habit. CIt is helpful.DIt is a waste of time.31What is the main idea of this passage?ADont be childrens drivers after school.BLet children learn something from various subjects.CMake your children learn as much as possible.DChoose activities for your children wisely.DAre you the type of person who always says “yes”？Ive come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”Its okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.Im not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help. Im talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you dont want to be a guest at.Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really dont want to do. If youre like I once was，you cant sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever youre saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldnt have all of these thoughts.So，why not just say “no” from the beginning？Maybe you feel like if you dont show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isnt going to like you or your coworkers wont respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters wont love you as much if you dont do everything for them what they ask every occasion.If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to，and if youre someone who always says “yes”，then thats what theyre expecting.You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.32Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?AWe should try to do what our friends ask us to do.BWe should help others in need.CAlways saying “yes” means you are dishonest.DAlways saying “no” means you are brave.33Generally speaking，we agree to do what we hate to do because we_.Ahave a bad habit Bhave a kind heart Chave much concern Dhave obligations34The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members，youll_.Ahave the same relationship with them as before Bhave a loose relationship with themCdisappoint them Dupset them35What would be the best title for the text?ALearn to Make a Right Choice BTo Be YourselfCDo What You Want to Do DLearn to Say “No”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。Let children learn to judge their work._36_.If corrected too much，he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples._37_They learn to do without being taught to walk，run，climb，whistle，ride a bicycle，compare their own performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself._38_we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it，what this word says，what the answer is to that problem，whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer，as it may be in mathematics or science，give him the answer book._39_Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work？_40_Let the children learn what all educated people must some day learn，how to measure their own understanding，and how to know what they know or do not know.AChildren learn to do all the other things in the same way.BLet him correct his own papersCPoint out his mistakesDWe do it all for him EWe allow him to learn from other childrenFA child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the timeGOur job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer第三部分：英语知识运用（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，从短文后所给各题的四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。Jamess New BicycleJames shook his money box again.
