Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50oC while it is 27 in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city!China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter.It isnt easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings.People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world（1）The scientists have found .A . cities become very hot in summerB . Atlanta is the hottest city in AmericaC . there are not as many storms as beforeD . it is not as hot on the roof as in the street（2）The way to make the city cooler is to .A . plant more treesB . try to use air conditioners moreC . build more parks and squaresD . paint the roofs of all the white buildings（3）What will probably happen in the future according to the fourth paragraph(段落)?A . Cities wont grow very fast.B . We will not have enough food.C . Most people will move to the countryside.D . People will plant more trees outside the cities.（4）What is the best title(题目)for the passage?A . More Farmland Is NeededB . Trees Make Cities CoolerC . Cities Are Getting HotterD . Scientists Are Worried About Storms18. （10分） Nick is a 14-year-old school boy. His life is full of exams and studies on weekdays. He has little free time.

Unlike other languages, English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways. For example, there is “light” but “white”, “loan” but “phone”, and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”, “though”, “through”, “bough”, “cough”, “enough”, “ought” and “thorough”.The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling. In 1906, one of the richest men in the United States of America, Andrew Carnegie, started the Simplified Spelling Board whose plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound. For example, the word “though” would be spelt “though” and “through” would become “thru”. Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey, the head of the New York libraries, and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University. They explained their idea to President Roosevelt who thought that it was indeed logical (合理的).He immediately instructed the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.But people did not like the change even if it made life easier and the new, simpler spelling was not popular. More importantly, when the American politicians discussed the plan, they did not like it either. Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians, he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling. However, people do simplify some words, mainly in advertisements. For example, we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”.（1）What does the first paragraph tell us?A . Why people have tried to simplify the spelling.B . How people have tried to simplify the spelling.C . When people have tried to simplify the spelling.D . Who have tried to simplify the spelling.（2）Whats the RIGHT order of the events? Simplified spelling speared in government letters. American politicians talked about the plan. Simplified Spelling Board was founded. Roosevelt gave up simplifying the spelling.A . B . C . D . （3）What do you probably think of the process of simplifying the spelling?A . No one understood it.B . It made life confusing.C . It was unsuccessful at last.D . It was welcomed by people.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A . The American President Theodore Roosevelt.B . A group of people who tried to simplify English spelling.C . The way that advertisements simplify spelling.D . A government printer who used simplified spelling.20. （25分）阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in peoples lives. But, there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm.Television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most recent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are .both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into ones room or house.However, some people insist that television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar( 庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes, shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed.In a word, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society.（1）What are people discussing nowadays?（2）What are the advantages television has brought us ?(至少2点)（3）Why do some people think television is bad rather than good?（4）It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society（5）Whats your opinion about television?四、 补全短文 (共1题；共10分)21. （10分）任务型阅读Making a public speech is the thing that most people dont want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. Its just a simple talking, Although Im a shy man, Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Keep your speech simple. Your audience cant take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you cant express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience wont, either.Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speechhow you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how youre going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people cant put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audiences reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.Title: How to make a _speechTechniqueReasonsRequirementsKeep it simpleYou should think about your idea well enough_one or two of your main ideas well.If you have a _idea of what you want to say, your audience will have, too.Organize it well.You should get your speech well _Know very well about the_,main points and ending of the speechIf you dont, the _will be confused.Keep it _Your speech should be short enough to attract your audiences attention and _.Make your speech as short as_.If you dont, the audience will feel _.五、 单词填空 (共1题；共8分)22. （8分）用括号里所给动词的适当形式填空。请将答案填写在答题卡指定位置。Drawing might help you thinkWhen youre sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks? If so, your teacher might have told you _(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group _(encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.Other people _(suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you _(have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown _(write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown _(believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of lea
