To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21.

The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears turn around and head back home, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared I didnt want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good nights sleep.I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!24. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. He could watch TV all dayB. He could have fun in nature.C. He had many friends to play withD. He used to explore the old dirt road25 What does the underlined word something in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. DoubtB. HopeC. Fear.D. Courage26. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A. He was contradictory in mind.B. He was unconscious of danger ahead.C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods.D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents.27. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile.B. All Roads Lead Home.C. Be Determined in Your Life.D. Be Brave to Adventure.CFood production does great harm to our environment. There are many procedures involved in the manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Some procedures require the consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as the transportation and storage of food products. Other factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water.The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume. Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals. its estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed.Land use is also a problem. If the cattle are free-range cattle, large areas of land are required for them to live on. This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species, particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America.Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions (甲烷排放). Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide, they dont realize methanes global warming potential is 25 times worse, making it a more dire problem.Unfortunately, beef consumption is growing rapidly. This is the result of simple supply and demand factors. Specifically, there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply. First, the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat. The second factor is socioeconomic advancement. As citizens in developing nations become financially stable, they can afford to buy more meat.Therefore, one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat.28. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Raising free-range cattle is eco-friendly.B. People cut down trees for animal habitats.C. Producing beef can damage the environment.D. Carbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane.29. The underlined word dire in Para. 4 means _.A. commonB. urgentC. beneficialD. avoidable30. Beef production is growing rapidly because_.A. more people are in demand of beefB. developing countries raise more cattleC. more land is available to raise cattleD. the cost of raising cattle is relatively low31. The author writes this article to_.A. describe the booming of the beef productionB. emphasize the advantages of beef productionC. criticize the cutting of the rain forestD. argue for a decrease in beef consumptionDIt is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon Rain Forest. Without it we would not have grown into primates(灵长类动物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationship between two people, involves competition. It isnt competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definitionthe simultaneous (同时的)demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients， living space, or light- better explain it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing(分类)take place. In high school, friendships learn to co-exist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to school work. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.32. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?A. How friends compete with each other.B. How to win the competition.C. What the result of competition is.D. What competition exactly is.33. According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?A. The number of them is too large.B. Friendship is a burden for them.C. They know the laws of nature well.D. They are divided into different groups.34. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?A. Friendship is always based on competition.B. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.C. Competition is terribly harmful to friendship.D. Competition is a result of lost friendship.35. What does the author think of competition?A. The results of competition are out of control.B. Competition becomes fiercer in high school.C. Competition is certain to happen at schools.D. Friendship is not as important as competition at schools.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。There are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a habit. 36 How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you ve done it in a certain way for so long? Its not very easy to do. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things. 37 its a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a boring task.Lets pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading a book. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it. 38 Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.Imprint it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, Hey, I forgot to. Keep using the notes if you have to. 39 Some people say it will take over a month to solidify it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine. 40A. What is a habit anyway?B. Forming a bad habit is easy.C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.D. Is doing things in an old way good?E. If you dont, you will find a way to do everything but that.F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.G. thats something you wont necessarily have to think about before you do ithabit.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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I went with some colleagues from my office for a dinner in a very popular local restaurant.
