drove a car for the first time My mom had driven our big Plymouth to a narrow and deserted back road and parked it The road was only one lane and had a wall built with river rocks along the side of it but Mom knew there was little chance of meeting any traffic on it that day With a smile she gave me the key and switched seats with me And then she told me to start the car to put it into drive and to gently push on the gas pedal In my 3 excitement though I miscalculated what gently meant After I pushed on the gas pedal the car sped forward Before I could turn the wheel I heard the scraping of metal against the stone wall I stopped the car and looked over at my Mom Her face was pale and her hands were trembling Slowly she opened her door and started checking the car Then she walked quietly around the car to the driver s side door I kept waiting for her to shout at me but she just sighed and said Well that s enough for today We ll try again tomorrow As I look back on that day I am amazed at the amount of kindness love and patience my Mom showed me In the years that followed I messed up many times in many ways Often I didn t feel worthy to be forgiven but each time I could feel Mom s gentle voice We ll try again tomorrow When we fall today don t stay down Rise up and be ready to try again tomorrow 21 What does the underlined sentence mean A I don t know what gently mean B My mother is not a gentle woman C I step on the gas pedal too hard D The gas pedal is too tight to push on 22 Which of the following is TRUE A I drove the car all the time that day B I practiced driving on a small road beside a river C My mother was calm when the accident happened D We had to pay for the repairing because our car was not insured 23 What did the author feel for his mother A patient B awesome C respectful D grateful B India s state schools are in sharp contrast to the country s goals of becoming a nation of call centers and technology parks The fifth grade boys and girls at school in Sultanpur a village about 40 km from the Indian capital New Delhi were laboring over their lessons on a Friday morning Eleven year old Kiran alternated between chewing her pencil and copying the English text which was the morning s task She wrote down the sentences arduously capitalizing the first letter of every word The children have not yet grasped the basics of English grammar the teacher explains I cannot read English very well said Kiran keeping her eyes firmly fixed on the ground As a new World Bank study has found there s a literacy problem in Indian schools and not just in English A third of all grade three students can t read at all in their native language Around half of all grade five students cannot manage a grade two text which is also too difficult for a quarter of all seventh grade pupils This decline in standards experts say is because of the rush to build school and bring back children to the education fold India managed to bring down the number of out of school children from 32 million in 2001 to 1 4million in 2011 as part of a program to make elementary education universal Yet little attention has been paid to what children are learning in classrooms or how well they learn The average Indian adult cannot yet write business letters in English or speak spontaneously at a business meeting in English Minh N Tran director of research and academic partnerships at Education First tells TIME New Delhi has raised government spending on education from 3 3 of GDP in 2004 05 to 4 in 4 2011 12 But facilities remain woeful In Indian state schools children have to sit on the floor until they reach grade six 24 What can we learn from the first paragraph A Many boys and girls are laboring in the field in the morning B India is a country strong in call centers and technology parks C Kiran had difficulty in reading English D The teacher showed disappointment to the performance of the children 25 According to the study of World Bank A Indian students have literacy problem in English B Indian students have no literacy problem in their mother tongue C Indian students have a gift for language learning D Indian students are facing many challenges of finance 26 What is the reason for the quality decline of the education in India A Parents pay little attention to the education B Government fails to provide enough schools and teachers C Students are lazier than before D Government aims at having more schools and students ignorant of the quality 27 What is the author s attitude to the situation A optimistic B worried C indifferent D disappointed C Stereotypes 模式化的见解 about Scotland are different although few refer to the great artists philosophers and scientists the nation has produced over the centuries of its proud history Cliches 陈词滥 调 about Scots tend to involve kilts 短裙 ruddy complexions and whisky But are they true Here is an informal look at five common cliches about Scots Mean Scots The idea of a Scot enjoying a drink but being reluctant to pay for it is a persistent stereotype Originally it reflected Scots poverty and then became complimentary focusing on the fact that Scots are very good at money good at business said Murray Pittock Many studies have shown the penny pinching reputation is way off including a poll from last year that found Scots on average give 365 pounds a year to charity compared to 268 pounds for wealthier Londoners Kilt wearing It used to be A type of woolen multi colored cloth kilts were the traditional clothes for men and they are one of the most popular symbols of Scotland Kilts are rooted in history and are associated with patriotism 爱国主义 as they were banned following the Jacobite uprising in the 18th century and only re introduced in the army Obviously most Scots don t wear kilts every day Pittock said adding Kilts bagpipes 风笛 tartan 格子呢 are all rather kitsch interpretations of Scotland but people are embracing them saying at least it is a visible brand Patriotic Scots A recent study found that 69 percent of Scots feel Scottish first and 20 percent feel British first In comparison the number of English people who feel English first is just 43 percent 5 As a small country a very marginal 边缘的 place in the European world geographically Scotland has always had some strong form of patriotism Pittock said Some of the patriotism is associated with anti Englishness Frankie Boyle said In Scotland we have mixed feelings about global warming because we will get to sit on the mountains and watch the English drown 28 What is the underlined phrase way off mean A wrong B exact C world spread D unknown 29 What can we learn from the last three paragraphs A English people are in conflict with Scots B Scots show no interest in English people C Scotland has a larger population than that of England D Scots love their motherland more than English people do 30 What is TRUE about the kilts A It is the traditional clothes for Scots B It is popular in Scotland all the time C Kilts reflect people s affection for their motherland D It is the daily clothes for Scots 31 What does the passage mainly talk about A Some negative impression of Scottish people B True side of the Scottish people C The history of Scotland D The culture of Scotland D Most respected scientists agree that we need to find another source of energy and quickly If we continue to burn oil and pump carbon into the atmosphere then the effects on global climate will lead to global disasters even before the oil disappear The British government has set a target of a 20 percent reduction in carbon emission by 2010 Central to this policy is the search for alternative renewable forms of energy production and this is where the serious disagreement among scientists begins Here two people active in the debate about wind farms give their points of view Simon Shearman First a few facts about wind power Wind is one of the cheapest of the new renewable forms of energy It is extremely safe no member of the public has ever been injured at a wind farm The shallow waters around Britain are the windiest in Europe ideal locations for wind farms and by 2010 up to ten percent of the electricity used in the UK could be produced by wind power I find it annoying and frustrating that the biggest objection that opponents of wind farms can come up with is that the crisis of global warming is real and something must be done urgently Alice Evans The simple obvious fact is that wind turbines cannot generate electricity if the wind is too light or too strong and it often is Many scientists estimate that wind turbines generally produce only 30 percent of their capacity This is not a reliable enough supply to enable us to close down conventional power stations In fact wind power can t keep up with the growth of the demand for electricity let alone replace other sources 6 of power It s a topic that is causing heated debate around the country but one we must address before it s too late before the oil runs out 32 Many scientists have different opinions on the search for a renewable energy because A they think fossil fuels are everlasting B British government s target is not realistic C they are not sure in finding the clean and renewable energy D the technology is not advanced enough 33 We can learn from the passage that A there won t be a global disaster before the world runs out of oil B the British government wants people to use 20 percent less oil by 2010 C Alice Evans supports the idea of wind power D Simon Shearman thinks Britain a particularly suitable place for wind farms 34 If we want to generate electricity with turbines A a light wind will do B we cannot make full use of turbines C a strong wind will do D we ll have enough electricity 35 What can we learn from the last paragraph A Wind power is a good solution to energy crisis B We re experiencing the oil crisis now C We should find alternative energy for oil as soon as possible D There is no need for us to worry about energy problem 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 Scientists have found that although our genes and circumstances matter a huge number of the variations in
