Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.I was eating with my wife and children, he said, when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.There was no time to take anything, she said, A few minutes later, the roof came down.Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought them food, clothes and shelter.21. How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm?A. 7. B. 15. C. 16. D. 38.22. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began?A. He was in bed. B. He was on the roof.C. He was outside the house. D. He was inside the house.23. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. Good Soldiers B. Clever PeopleC. A Terrible Storm D. A Lucky WomanBThe earth is getting warmer. The planet is suffering. But what can you do about it? Reduce the amount of waste you generate. Use cleaner energy sources and go greener today, starting with these steps:1. Get a reusable water bottleAmericans buy about 25 billion single-serving plastic water bottles each year. Thats an average of 83 bottles per person per year. Plastic bottles take plenty of resources to produce, including fuel for transportation and petroleum to make the plastic. Even recycling bottles uses energy.2. Eat less meatYou dont need to become a vegetarian to help save the planet. Eating meat just one day less a week can reduce your negative impact on the environment. More water, energy and land are required to produce meat than to produce grain.3. Switch to energy-efficient light bulbsMost households use standard incandescent(白炽的) bulbs. But compact fluorescent(荧光的) light bulbs, or CFLs, use 66 percent less energy than standard bulbs, produce just as much light, last up to 10 times longer and dont need to be replaced as often. If every household in the United States replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a CFL bulb, it would equal removing one million cars from the road.4. Buy organic and local foodDid you know that only 1 percent of pesticides(杀虫剂) applied to crops reach the pests they target? The rest enter the environment. Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides. Organic farming can use 50 percent less energy than traditional farming methods. Buying local food saves on the fuel used to transport food grown elsewhere, thousands of miles across the country or around the world.5. Recycle your electronicsEveryone knows the importance of recycling glass and plastic, but what about cell phones, computers, CDs and batteries? Electronics are responsible for about 40 percent of toxic(有毒的) heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Check with your citys recycling facilities to see if they take electronics.24. The readers of this passage are called on to .A. keep a balanced dietB. use water in a wise wayC. donate money for charityD. help reduce global warming25. What is an advantage of CFLs according to the passage?A. They use more energy but produce more light.B. They are as energy-efficient as incandescent bulbs.C. They can last longer so dont need to be replaced often.D. They cost less money than standard incandescent bulbs.26. Which of the following figures is correct according to the passage?A. 99 of the pesticides used on crops is effective in practice.B. Eating meat one day less a week helps cut environment costs.C. Every year an American buys 63 plastic water bottles on average.D. Electronics account for half of poisonous heavy metals on the earth.27. Which can be the best title for this passage?A. Why Is the Earth Getting Warmer?B. What Can We Do About Pollution?C. How Can You Lead a Greener Life?D. Who Is to Blame for Global Warming?CIts been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant(移植), and now, what he really wants to do is playing football. “I feel happy about my new hands, and I dont feel different. I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didnt have hands,” he said.The nations youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering from a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zions operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “Ive never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “Hes just an amazing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.”Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “Its been a long journey but now I feel like I am living in my dream. Its his dream, and its mine, too. Im just living through him, and Im just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.”However，Zion told reporters his mom wouldnt let him try out for football. His mom said its too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.28. What is Zions attitude towards his transplanted hands?A. He likes them a lot B. He tries to ignore themC. He accepts them unwillingly D. He has mixed feelings about them.29. What did Dr. Scott Levin think of Zion?A. He was unusually quiet. B. He was well worth praising.C. He was cleverer than expected. D. He was a talented football player.30. Which of the following words can best describe Pattie Ray?A. Sensitive and strict. B. Devoted and supportiveC. Optimistic and active D. Open-minded and outgoing.31. What does the underlined word “counter” in the last paragraph mean?A. Accept B. Prove C. Be against D. CommentDWhat would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.Even if you dont have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. Its a valuable skill.But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.32. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined part?A. Practice makes perfectB. Nothing is impossibleC. Hope for the best D. No pains, no gains33. According to the government survey，the most important factor to help people move up the ladder is _.A. hard work B. education C. social relationship D. social activity34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 76% of the people think social relationship is most important.B. 41% of the people believe parents income is most important.C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.35. From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to _.A. stress the importance of educationB. challenge the traditional beliefC. make lots of social connectionsD. encourage people to work hard.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。选项中的两项为多余选项。Do you have a hobby？Something you look forward to spending your time with？Something you love to do？ （36） Or making useful things out of waste materialsIt could be a musical instrument that you love playingOr singing and dancinghere are many things that a hobby can give you，in addition to an enjoyable timeTom was a shy boy but through his interest in model airplanes he learned the value of sticking to a task until it was finished （37） His model airplane club brought him to get into touch with similar personsHaving a hobby helps you relax and get away from the routines of school （38） It gives you focus，self-dependence，confidence and builds your personality and this is an opportunity to lose yourself in an interesting activity，away from the pressure of school，so at the end of it，you feel relaxed and mentally chargedYour hobby defines you （39） And it also shows you what you are good at，and how far you can go，when you devote yourself to it（40） A hobby is：Happiness：something which you look forward to doingOpportunity：to develop your special and unique skills and celebrate themBelief in yourself：makes you understand your strong advantages and improves your confidenceBest in you：brings out your best-for in each one of us there is a best that is only oursA It proves your abilityBIt could be collecting somethingCHe learned to make friends for the first timeDSo go ahead and develop a hobbyEHobbies show your characterFIt gives you a breakGIt shows your special skills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 15 分, 满分 30 分）Imagine loving someone so much that youd swim more than 5,000 miles to see him or her.
