It was really almost by accident Orren played in a friends house whose family had chickens, and he became interested in the animals immediately. Later, he started volunteering every Saturday at a local farm; within a few months the farmowner suggested that Orren get a few chicks of his own.“I dont know what it was, but something caught my interest,” says Orren, now 14. Today Orren has 23 chickens, four ducks, and 250,000 bees. His happy chickens lay a lot of healthy eggs, which he sells all the year round. He became a vegetarian (素食者) after he learned about the cruelty and negative (消极的) environmental effects of factory farms. In his dairy he writes about raising happy chickens and bees, food and healthy eating, farming, and generally making the world a better place. “Farming affects our earth more than anything else,” says Orren. “Its something you have to do correctly, or it will ruin our planet. Its often ignored, but for me, learning about where my food comes from has been really interesting.”In fall 2009, Orren started a farm club at his school. “I wanted to get people to learn more about farming and what fun it is,” he says.Orrens passion (热情) for farming and other types of animals continues to grow. He went to the Essex Country Bee School in early 2010 to learn about beekeeping. Orren now has three beehives (蜂箱) of happy bees. In the summer of 2011, Orren started to sell his honey, BeeHappy, to local stores. Next, he wants to raise sheep and goats. “I know a lot more about the environment and how farming affects it, but I still have a lot to learn,” says Orren. “I want to keep doing all of this as I get older.”56. Orren started a farm club at his school in order to _.A. collect money for his farm clubB. employ people to raise animals for himC. attract people to buy his productsD. help people learn more about farming57. What can we learn about Orren from the text?A. He has raised sheep and goats.B. He sells not only eggs but chickens.C. He is concerned about the environment.D. He became a vegetarian under the influence of his friend.58. What is the right order of the events related to Orren? a. He started a farm club. b. He sold his bee honey. c. He fell in love with chickens. d. He volunteered at a local farm. e. He studied in the Essex Country Bee School.A. d, c, a, e, bB. d, c, b, a, eC. c, d, b, a, eD. c, d, a, e, bB Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold waters near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal.All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and its time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds. 59. The underlined phrase “licked up” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. given up B. ended upC. broken up D. eaten up60. During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales _.A. always swim under the oceanB. find food to supply their energyC. face the colder and colder waterD. travel to the lagoons without a break61. Where do mother gray whales give birth?A. In warm shallow waters near Mexico.B. Off the coast of North America.C. In the open seas near Mexico.D. In cold waters near Alaska.62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about gray whales in the text?A. How long they live.B. How they get their food.C. When they get back to Alaska.D. How long they spend traveling to Mexico.C If youve never bought organic food, you might be wondering whats so special about it. Is it really better for you? How does that work? This text will give you a short introduction to the subject. Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think its better for their health. Whether thats true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. Intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but its also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. According to a report by the World Resources Institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. Fertilizers and the much more deadly pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them finally find their way into rivers and seas. Sometimes they break down harmlessly, but theyre just as likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.Many people find it puzzling that organic products are more expensive. After all, youre doing away with expensive chemicals . so shouldnt they be cheaper? Organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive way of farming and thats why it costs more. As a responsible (有责任的) consumer, its up to you to decide where to put your money. Are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? Are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?63. Which of the following does the author agree on?A. Organic food is better for peoples health.B. Organic food is better for the environment.C. Organic food tastes better than traditional food.D. Organic food can be produced in great amounts.64. The underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “_”.A. making use of B. getting rid ofC. keeping away from D. taking advantage of65. Whats the authors attitude towards organic food?A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.C. Worried. D. Supportive.D There was once a man who penned comics under the name Stan Lee. This man originally (最初地) wished to leave comics behind and write serious literature. But he never made that career change.Born Stanley Martin Lieber in 1922 in New York City, he has contributed more to the world than just a few fun stories. At 17, Lee began working as an assistant for the Timely comics group (todays well-known Marvel Comics). Two years later he was given a chance to write for his first comic, “Captain America”. His skills in the business led him to become the comic-book divisions editor-in-chief until 1972. After working with comics for many years, Lee became tired of the material he was told to write. For a long time, comic books were considered silly stories. The characters werent complex (复杂的), and the dialogue was short and simple. Lee wanted more from his work.The Fantastic Four was born after his wife asked, “Why dont you write one book the way you would like to do it?” With that comic, Lee helped change comics from simple action stories to the complex narratives (叙述文) they are today. However, he still wasnt done changing the industry.In the early 1960s, Stan Lee and another writer created the Spider-Man character. In one edition of Spider-Man, Lee wrote a story in which the superheros friend almost dies from drug abuse. From the 1950s until 2011, comic publishers followed the rules given by the Comics Code Authority (CCA), who disapproved of drug use in comics.But Lee published the comic without CCAs agreement. The story sold, and there was a positive response (反应) to the storys focus on a serious problem in society. The CCA ended up changing its rules to allow more inspirational stories like this.From this victory, Lee went on to create more interesting and realistic characters that dealt with both super and real life problems. 66. The underlined part “that career” in Paragraph 1 refers to the job as _.A. a superhero B. a comic actorC. a comic book creator D. a serious literature writer67. When was Captain America written by Stan Lee?A. In 1939. B. In 1941. C. In 1960. D. In 1972.68. When The Fantastic Four was created, what happened to the comic industry?A. Spider-Man was published.B. Stan Lee left the comic industry.C. Stan Lees wife began to work on comics.D. The comics began to tell complex stories.69. What can we know from the text?A. Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee himself.B. Stan Lee likes to discuss social issues in his comics.C. The story of Spider-Man came from Stan Lees friend.D. The CCA has been carrying out rules without changing them.70. What would be the best title for the text?A. The man behind the superheroesB. What made comics popular?C. The first comic bookD. A great career 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。Have you ever felt like you spend a lot of time being busy, but at the end of the day you dont feel like youve really gained anything? 71 The reason is while I spent a lot of time working on urgent (紧急的) things, none of them was important. I try to stay focused on important, rather than simply urgent, tasks each day by using the following methods. 72 Often the best way to find out what the most important tasks are is to choose your three most important items for the day. Ask yourself, “If I could only do these three things today, would I feel happy and satisfied?”Focus on providing value.One of the easiest ways for me to discover whether Im working on important or urgent things is asking myself how much value the task will provide for me or others. I know going to the gym and writing articles will have a better long-term effect than checking my e-mail every 30 minutes and playing games. 73 First things first. 74 When I spend my time working on unimportant but urgent items, I end up getting caught up in trying to put out the next fire. Also, when I try to work on my important tasks later in the day, theres usually more distractions (分心的事). Have a clear vision (构想). This goes along with setting your most important tasks. But here were thinking about our long-term vision. Creating a vision is about seeing clearly where youd like to be in the next 5, 10 or 20 years. 75 Think about whether or not the work youre doing is moving you closer to your vision.A. Ive felt this way quite often.B. Try to set an example for others.C. Set three most important tasks for the day. D. Spend most of our time doing whats most important to us.E. Ask yourself, “How much value will this provide for me, or someone else?”F. I find the best way is to start on the most important tasks right away in the morning.G. When we have a clear idea of what we want the future to be, its much easier to focus on important tasks.第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。On my way to home yesterday afternoon, I happened to witness a traffic accident.
