Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods FestivalThe Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. Whitman was influenced by events around him. But his poetry speaks of the inner self. He celebrated great people like President Abraham Lincoln. He also celebrated common people.As a young man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six years old when his first book of poetry was published. He called it Leaves of Grass. It has only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set form. Some lines are short and some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound. They do not rhyme.One of Americas greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitmans work. But most other poets and writers said nothing or denounced it.The American Civil War began in 1861. During the war, Whitman worked without pay at army hospitals. He helped care for the wounded and dying soldiers. He sat beside these men for hours. He brought them food and wrote letters for them. After the Civil War, Whitman worked for government agencies. He watched the United States try to heal itself and increase democracy. To Walt Whitman, democracy was more than a political system or idea. It was the natural form of government for free people. Whitman believed democracy was meant to honor the rights of every person and the equality of all people.In 1873, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke. He spent the last few years of his life in Camden, New Jersey and wrote more poems. Whitman was poor and weak during the last few years of his life. He died in 1892.24.Walt Whitman expressed his feelings by .A. singing songs B. celebrating great peopleC. writing poems D. praising common people25. Leaves of Grass was published in .A.1855 B.1819 C.1861 D.187326.The underlined sentence “But most other poets and writers said nothing or denounced it.”(in Paragraph 3) is most likely to tell us that .A. many great writers liked Whitmans poems very muchB. a lot of people agreed with EmersonC. many poets and writers thought ill of Whitmans poemsD. few poets and writers didnt like talking to Whitman27. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that Whitman was .A. a brave soldier B. a man of devotionC. an honest official D. a great politicianCEdward Wilson is Americas, if not the worlds, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the worlds natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares todays Walden Pond with that of Thoreaus day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of, plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.28. We learn form the text that Wilson cares most about _A. the environment for plants. B. the biodiversity of our earthC. the wastes of natural resources D. the importance of human values29. How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. Twenty. B. Eighty. C. One hundred D. Ten thousand.30. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _.A. learn how to farm scientifically B. build homes for some dying speciesC. make it clear what to eat D. use more species for food31. We can infer that the text is _.A. a description of natural resources B. a research reportC. a book review D. an introduction to a scientistDI recently traveled to San Francisco for some meetings and found myself with a half day to kill.My options: The 49ers first game of the season, against the Green Bay Packers. The Americas Cup sailing races. Or I could get lost.After a pretty long line at the car rental center, I was free. So I disappeared into the fog and clouds shrouding(笼罩)the Pacific Coast Highway and headed south with absolutely no destination in mind. I drove through tunnels carved out of the mountains and stopped at a few state beaches; at one, I watched a wedding out on the cliffs(悬崖)among the crashing waves.Back in the car, I drove toward San Gregorio, a town that you can easily miss. I know because I drove right through it and ended up on a pine tree-bordered road that felt like it would go on forever. A few people moved around outside the San Gregorio General Store, smoking cigarettes and talking about the motorcycles theyve owned over the years. Inside, I found a bar with regular customers, two people playing guitar together, and, of course, a full-on store. I ordered a song, grabbed a seat, and watched the guitarists perform. Then I congratulated them, threw a couple of wrinkled dollars in their bucket, and walked back out into the world.The day could have been so different: crammed(挤)into a stadium or bar half-watching sports. But this was much more rewarding. Hours prior, I was on a flight. Then I was out on my own, having an unexpected and unrepeatable experience.I learned something on September 8: Dont be afraid to get loston purpose or otherwiseand have zero expectations. It will be good for you. I promise.32.

Air pollution greatly affects peoples health because whatever goes into the air goes into ones lungs and blood. Since most people do not know what fresh air smells or tastes like, many ignore what the air pollution is doing to them.38 We have no choice but to pay more attention to how we are using water, and how we may be wasting it. We must bridge the gap between our understanding of how important water is to our survival and what we can do to make sure that we have enough supply of clean water for years to come.Another kind of pollution that gets ignored is noise pollution. 39 However, noise pollution can damage ones hearing and even ones mental health. The source of noise pollution is caused by loud music, machine noises and automobile and plane noises.Even though the world population is increasing just as far as air, water, and noise pollution, it does not mean that protecting the earth or ones own health is a lost cause. 40 The more one knows about pollution and preventing pollution, the more one can do. The other step in preventing pollution is to make healthier changes every day.A . Air pollution does more harm to us.B. There are many causes of air pollution.C. The first step in preventing more pollution is knowledge.D. It is not a surprise that water pollution is also a high danger.E. Most people are used to the noise that surrounds them every day.F.

We should take action to protect the environment because pollution is very serious.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（，和）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。“Were going to cut science class today.
