Lets make believe(假设；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They havent yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.21. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060? A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals. C. Many plants. D. A sea.22. What will people eat then according to the passage?A. Biscuits in pill form. B. Foods in pill form. C. Foods in water form. D. Foods in gas form.23. The passage tells us that in 2060, _ on the earth than now. A. there are fewer population B. there are more pests C. there is less waterD. the crops are getting better24. Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060? A. Because they dont eat meat.B. Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.C. Because the number of animals decreases.D. Because all the animals have died of diseases.BCan you survive an unannounced storm? Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cell phones, therere still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a days time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.Thereve been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasnt but a few decades ago that a Texas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. Thereve been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time.Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us-but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.But therere a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If youre headed outdoors for a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight(手电筒) with extra batteries, a GPS device (装置),and a basic medical box. If youre traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high winds. Youd better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is essential to survival in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.25. According to the text, most Atlantic hurricanes_. A. form in the Caribbean Sea B. come form Gulf of Mexico C. develop off the coast of Africa D. are from the Pacific Ocean26. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The bad situations of oil workers. B. People trapped by sudden storm. C. The danger of traveling on an island. D. The Texas National Guard group. 27. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To give some advice. B. To encourage traveling C. To underline the danger of hurricanes. D. To give some warnings. 28. In which part of a website would you most probably find the text? A. Science B. Sports C. Life D. CultureC Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life. You dont need statistics to understand the Danes happy lot. Walk around any Danish town and youll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere. Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye, and the locals manners and sense of humor is refreshing.Denmarks capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with well-preserved medieval streets, renowned art galleries, Michelin-starred restaurants and a healthy business center. Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails, just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours .Beyond the capital and the bigger cities, Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside, medieval churches , Renaissance castles and tidy 18th-century villages.The coastline of Denmark with its sand dunes and greenery is a sight that always attracts visitors. So, no matter what time of year youre in Denmark, you shouldnt miss out on a trip to the nearest beach .Its hard , in short , to find fault with the place. The visitors most heartfelt complaint is usually the cost of visiting Denmark. True, it is not a cheap destination , but no more so than the UK, and which nations public transport system would you rather use?Cheer yourself up by thinking of the countrys remarkable organization and clockwork railway timetable as being financed by the extremely high taxes paid by your hosts. When viewed in this way , this first-rate destination seems like good value, and you get the fairy tales thrown in for free: the Danish royal family is genuinely loved and respected by the vast majority of its citizens, not least handsome Prince Frederik , his beautiful Australian-born princess-bride, Mar, and their young family.29. Which of the following words can best describe Danes ? A. Polite and humorous .B. Happy and romantic. C. Kind and friendly. D. Out-going and humorous .30.

People in Denmark pay high taxes to welcome visitors . D. The Danish royal family plays an important role in politics .31. How does the passage mainly develop ? A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons. C. By giving descriptions.D. By following time order.32. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage ? A. To introduce Danish culture . B. To show the attractions of Denmark . C. To share experiences of travelling in Denmark . D. To describe the happy life people live in Denmark .DChina faces $176 billion bill to clean up air pollutionCleaning up Chinas air pollution will cost 1.75 trillion yuan ($176b) between 2013 and 2017, a high-ranking environmental official has estimated.Wang Jinnan, deputy head of the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning, said that the investment - part of an anti-pollution action plan announced by Chinas cabinet in September - “would drive up GDP by nearly two trillion yuan ($202b) and create over two million jobs,” Chinas official newswire Xinhua reported.The total cost will be higher than the 2012 GDP of most countries, including Finland, Israel and Portugal.“36.7 percent of the investment, or 640 billion yuan ($64.5b) should go on cleaning up industry, followed by 490 billion yuan (28.2 percent) on cleaner energy sources. Cleaning up motor vehicles will absorb 210 billion yuan,” Xinhua reported, citing (引用) Wang.In 2013, broad areas of China recorded their highest air pollution levels in 52 years, causing widespread anger over the massive environmental disaster shaped by decades of unchecked economic growth.While Beijing has long been known for its pea-soup air, a number of traditionally clearer cities, including Shanghai and Harbin, have registered pollution levels high enough for local authorities to ground flights, close schools and pull cars from the roads.On Friday, Shanghais concentration of airborne PM 2.5 particulate matter small enough to stay deep within the lungs rose to 214 micrograms per cubic meter, three times Chinas national limit. The official Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center warned children and the elderly to stay indoors.In its five-year action plan,Chinas State Council promised to reduce the level of airborne particulate matter by at least 10% in major cities by 2017.Yet many smog-related government measures, such as controlling street-side barbecues, have drawn criticism for polishing over the problem. In October, one Beijing official blamed the smog on “the traditional way of cooking Chinese dishes.”In response, many Chinese people have taken measures into their own hands. Face masks have become a fashion statement; air purifier sales have rapidly increased. An elementary school in north Chinas Shijiazhuang, one of the countrys most polluted cities, has begun teaching its students a smog-defying aerobics (健美操) routine involving acupuncture points associated with respiratory（呼吸） health. Last week, a hospital in the southwestern Chinese city Chengdu opened a “smog clinic” to treat air pollution-related diseases such as coughs and asthma; it has been treating roughly a dozen patients a day. We should not fear smog. Its preventable and curable, says a poster hung by its entrance.33. What is the major cause of the heavy smog in China according to the article?A. The investment in an anti-pollution action plan is not enough.B. The economic development has not been carefully checked in the past years.C. Environmental Planning has not been carried out for decades of years.D. The traditional way of cooking Chinese dishes has produced too much smoke.34. To avoid the harm on their health, people suffering from the smog in China are doing the following EXCEPT _. A. wearing face masks and use air purifiersB. warning children and the elderly not to go outdoorsC. criticizing many smog-related government officialsD. opening “smog clinics” to treat air pollution-related diseases35. After reading the article, most readers may feel _.A. Angry but hopeless B. Tired and indifferent (漠不关心)C. Concerned but positive D. Depressed and annoyed第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Avoid Internet Addiction36 Many people suffer from addiction to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them.

We had lived in the orphanage for about six months by the time Christmas came. None of us got any presents 44 . We got two meals a day but the bread was hard and the food was 45 . I had one good friend at the orphanage named Attila, and we 46 talk a lot about what it would be like to have somebody come and take us away from there. Our dream was to have a 47 family and do things that most other children did. Two or three times, people came to the orphanage and talked to my sister Kristin and me, but they 48 came back to see us again. One day, a pretty lady with long hair and a big man with glasses came to see Kristin and me.
