This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKees life: the Kernot School Concert. She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates. Yet she was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart.Being in a remote country town, Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasioneveryone! Yet, it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who couldnt be in that audience that nighther mum and dad.Patricias mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities. It had been this way with her sister, so why should it be any different for her?Still, Patricia couldnt help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day, so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother. Sadly, she had to face the facts. At such a young age, Patricia couldnt really understand the deep pain in her mothers response(回答): “Ill try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.”Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall, little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life. There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face!This powerful image remains one of Patricias most treasured memories. “Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment. I was really walking on air,” said Patricia, now a parent herself. Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy（遗产）theyve left us: when someone really needs you, be there for them.25.

What does the underlined phrase “walking on air” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Surprised.B. Troubled.C. Very happy.D. Very comfortable.CAdvertising plays a major role in the competitive business world. Many industries take advantage of the power of advertising to attract or to win customers away from their business competitors. The influence of advertising is so huge that it causes many people to buy things that they do not want at the start.Advertising encourages people to buy things they dont want through misleading ideas. Advertising is proven to be a successful tool to stress the features of their product to the public even though it is regarded undesirable(不受欢迎的) such as cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and so on. For example, Dunhill, a cigarette company which sponsors (赞助) many football teams, seems to be promoting cigarettes to the public. Without the sponsorship, the company will be less known to the public, resulting in fewer sales of cigarettesBesides that, advertising has a large influence on the decisions made by the people in their everyday life. Many businesses use advertising as a form of promotion to create awareness (意识，认知) about their product in the market. For instance, in a fast food industry, the introduction of a new flavor of burger needs advertising to reach the public while the other burgers require advertising to increase sales. Children, especially, are easily influenced by the advertisement and will have the desire to dine at fast food restaurants after that. Although fast food is bad for health, it has successfully become attractive to the public through advertisingHowever, advertising plays a part in helping customers to compare a product in terms of price, quality, reliability(可靠性) and so on. Without advertising, it will be very difficult for customers to judge the worthiness(价值) of a product. For example, advertisements published by various companies have given the customers the opportunity to choose wisely when buying an item. Without the power of advertising, customers will choose a brand(品牌) which may not offer the best choice.28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising. B. The product.C. Feature. D. The public.29. The author mentions the fast food restaurants to show that_.A. food industry is having a hard timeB. the information passed on in advertisements is unrealC. children are easily influenced by the advertisementD. advertisements influence people to make decisions30. The main idea of Paragraph 4 is that advertising_.A. plays a role in fast food industryB. helps industries attract customersC. encourages people to make the right choicesD. makes people buy some unnecessary things31. The authors attitude towards advertising can best be described as_.A. objective B. supportiveC. uncared D. doubtfulDOne half of the brain remains on high alert (警觉的) during the first night of sleep in a new place, according to a new study.Over the course of three experiments on 35 young, healthy volunteers, researchers measured (测量) brain activity during two nights of sleep. They found that part of the left side of the brain remained more active than the right side only on the first night, specifically during a deep sleep stage.“When you sleep in a new place for the first time, a part of one side of the brain seems to stay awake, so you could wake up faster if something dangerous should happen,” said senior study author Yuka Sasaki of Brown University.While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make short overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added.To see how being in a strange place affects sleep, Sasaki and colleagues performed lab tests on their subjects. When they stimulated (刺激) the left side of the brain with sounds in the right ear during deep sleep on the first night, that led to greater possibility of waking and faster action upon waking, than if sounds were played in the left ear to affect the right side of the brain. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right sides of the brain. This suggests there is a first-night-only effect in one side of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude.One problem with the new study is its focus(重点)on healthy volunteers, which means the results may not apply to people with sleep disorders, the authors note.While it is possible that the findings may explain poor sleep among frequent travelers, the study wasnt designed to test whether these first night effects continue to happen to people every time they hit the road, said Patrick Finana researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.32. If a man sleeps in a new place for the first time, _.A. he cant fall into sleep B. a part of his brain stays awakeC. he usually feels unsafeD. both sides of his brain are on alert33. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The finding of the new study B. The advice of the researchersC. The process of measuring brain activity D. The suffering of the volunteers34. If people stay at a new place for more than one day, _.A. they can wake faster on the second night than on the first nightB. there wont be any difference to them on the second nightC. they suffer from sleep disordersD. the first night effects may not last35. What is the problem of the new study?A. All of the volunteers are young.B. The finding may be false.C. None of the volunteers are sick. D. There are not enough volunteers.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坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority(大部分) of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. _36_. In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. _37_. The process of urbanization, the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city, was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. _38_.Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _39_. Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing(收税) farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus(富余的) food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. _40_. Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers. A. That kept cities very small. B. The rest live in small towns. C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered. D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My friend Brett had just got a motorbike and a lot of other kids in my neighborhood knew how to ride.
