19、给旳A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ADear Sir,There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate（住宅区）, on the land where the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against

20、 the idea of building a supermarketI just think that as a community（社区） we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing ourselves.It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condition. It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would

21、be a good thing to have. But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isnt a must because of the Internet and so on. Is this necessarily true, especially for elderly people? What about young people who dont have the Internet at ho

22、me and need to go to the library to do their homework? Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would al

23、so bring some much-needed jobs for younger people in the townand this is a good point. What we need to do is consider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life. Certainly local people, including me, will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra tra

24、ffic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only thatwe will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an influence on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselv

25、es.I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an open-minded wayand I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair discussion of the issues involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to everyo

26、nes view. Is that too much to ask?Yours faithfully,Tom Watkins 36. The supporters of the supermarket probably think _. A. the library is no longer neededB. the library is too poor to be rebuilt C. the supermarket brings down goods priceD. supermarket increases local workers income37. What does the u

27、nderlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Shopping convenience.B. Job opportunity. C. Life quality. D. Traffic condition.38. What is the authors attitude toward the plan? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Sceptical. D. Confident. 39. Why is the letter written? A. To promote effective public reading. B.

28、To call for concern over an urban project. C. To discuss ways of improving life quality. D. To express dissatisfaction with public equipment. BMost kids love breaks, but for Hannah Kristan, a break was her least favorite part of the school day. “I never got to do anything except sit there,” she reca

29、lls.Hannah was born with a disease that kept the bones in her back from forming properly. She uses a wheelchair. Sadly, for kids like her, most playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah is one of 5 million kids in the United States who cannot use traditional playground equipment because of

30、 some type of disability.Then Hannah heard about Boundless Playgroundsplaygrounds without limits for children with disabilities. The wonderful group behind Boundless Playgrounds helps communities create special playgrounds for children of all abilities. There are swings and sandboxes specially desig

31、ned for kids with physical disabilities. Kids with vision problems can enjoy the movement of swings and also use musical activities such as chime walls. Since her hometown in Connecticut had nothing like it, Hannah helped raise money for this new kind of playground.The inspiration for Boundless Play

32、grounds was a playground created by Amy Jaffe Barzach. It is named Jonathans Dream in honor of her son. Jonathans Dream and many Boundless Playgrounds around the country have a glider swing that can be used by kids who use wheelchairs and their friends. The glider swing at Jonathans Dream was design

33、ed by Matthew Cavedon, who wasnt even 10 years old at the time. Matthew was motivated because he used a wheelchair himself and wanted to be able to have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardless of their physical abilities or disabilities. The basic idea behind Boundless Playground is that play

34、 is both part of the joy of childhood and an important way for children to learn about the world. Kids who are kept away from playgrounds are denied this enjoyment as well as the learning. Far from being a place of happy excitement, traditional playgrounds are often places of separation and loneline

35、ss for those who cant join in the fun.Contrary to some strict ideas about what a playground for children with special needs should be like, a Boundless Playground is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. Thats why it is inviting and fun for all children. And for Hanna, M

36、atthew, and other kids like them, a playground like this is also a dream that comes true. 40. What did Hannah Kristan do? A. She designed Boundless Playground.B. She invented a swing for the disabled. C. She collected money for the playground. D. She donated equipment to her hometown.41. We can lear

37、n from the passage that Boundless Playgrounds _. A. provide training instructions for the disabledB. borrowed the idea from Jonathans Dream C. were invented by Amy Jaffe BarzachD. are financed by communities42. What is Hanna and Matthews dream? A. To overcome their disabilities.B. To receive special

38、 physical training.C. To get equal chances of playing and learning.D. To acquire understanding from their fellow students.CYou cant walk into the office without Rihannas voice singing “work work work work work work” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gagas “Bad Romance” still makes you want t

39、o scream. These are commonly known as earworm songsthose sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis. Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even

40、 maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs. Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to be smal

41、l parts of a songnot the whole track. And “the songs youve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says. But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your head. “Once I was at the doctors office and saw a poster of a man

42、who I thought looked like Gastona character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldnt get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadnt thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify h

43、er earworms trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says. Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also newthe unintended consequence of being

44、 able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs. “Finding a mentally demanding task and puttin

45、g your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that dont require their full attentionstuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, its almost like were singing along wi

46、th it. If you make your mouth do something elsechewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friendthat can kick out the earworm.You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief. 43. Which of the following i

47、s most likely to be an earworm song? A. A song made up of simple words.B. A song heard frequently these days.C. A song sung by a most famous singer. D. A song learned during ones childhood. 44. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Type. B. Tune.C. Cause.D. Characteristic.

48、45. We can infer that earworm songs may _. A. result from modern technologyB. be experienced over mealsC. help regain lost memoriesD. hurt ones hearing46. What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs? A. Why we hear earworm songs. B. Where to find earworm songs. C. When we hear earworm s

49、ongs. D. How to get over earworm songs.DThe cruise（邮轮） tourism is the fastest growing industry in the travel industry. With rapid growth in the number of passengers, the number of cruise ships at sea, and the increased variety of destinations, the fast growth in the industry follows with increasing

50、influences on the environment. Like many travel industries, the negative influences on the environment seem to outweigh the positive ones. Even though the cruise industry is relatively small compared to the airline industry, cruise ships and their passengers generate more waste and pollutant emissio

51、ns（排放物） while travelling and docked in port. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a one-week voyage generates more than 50 tons of garbage, and during that same week 3.78 million litres of waste water is produced. That is water which is harmful to the ocean life and cannot

52、 be poured back into the ocean without being treated. These numbers are multiplied by more than 200 cruise ships sailing the world 365 days a year. Due to pollution, coral reefs（珊瑚礁） are taking a significant damage. There are 109 countries with coral reefs. In 90 of them, reefs are being damaged by

53、cruise ships. It is said 70% of cruise destinations are in the spots with the existence of a wide variety of sea plants and animal species. However, it is not the amount of pollution generated by cruise ships that is most concerned, but rather, the way cruise ships deal with their waste. The way cru

54、ise ships get rid of waste is highly unregulated. Waste can be poured a few short miles off shore, which is later brought back to shore due to ocean currents. In most cases, there was no monitoring or administration from local authorities if cruise ships violated the pollution standards. The cruise

55、industry continues to promote itself as environmentally friendly; the truth is, there are many examples of cruise ships breaking the law. Processing waste onboard is not impossible for cruise industries. Since the increased harmful effects on the environment have come to light, some cruise industrie

56、s have done their part and as technology increases, their ability to become more eco-friendly has become the most important. Holland American Line has invested $1.5 million into a program called Seawater Scrubber Pilot. This program looks for opportunities to reduce engine emission on its ships. The

57、 Sea Water Scrubber system uses the natural chemistry of seawater to remove all harmful materials in the seawater before it is poured overboard. Even though it is only a small step, it makes a big difference. The environmental impact of the cruise industry on the destination has negative effects. Ho

58、wever, with effort made, there is still hope that these effects can be limited, or as we wish, reduced. 47. What adds to cruise ships pollution? A. Lack of proper regulations. B. Growing size of cruise ships. C. Service system on cruise ships.D. Useless water-treating program. 48. Why did the author

59、 mention Holland American Line? A. To stress environmental protection matters.B. To evaluate the effects of natural chemistry.C. To introduce the Sea Water Scrubber system.D. To prove some anti-pollution measure works. 49. What is the passage mainly about? A. Influences of cruise tourism. B. Problem

60、s in tourist industry.C. Consequence of ocean pollution. D. Administration of cruise emissions. 50. How is the passage developed? A. By analyzing cause and effect. B. By discussing problems and solutions.C. By comparing benefits and disadvantages. D. By presenting similarities and differences.第二节（共5

A survey taken a few years ago found that 28% families ate dinner together at home seven nights a week. Another quarter said they

62、 ate together three or fewer nights a week. Once upon a time the situation was different. 51 Plates, forks and spoons would be laid out. As dinner time approached, an increasing number of hungry mouths would begin to appear with the question, “Whats for dinner”? 52 The data seems to point to two main issues: overworked parents and overscheduled children. When mum or dad do get home in the evening, they are soon in the car again to send the children to soccer, music, tutoring, and a host of other events. This nightly ceremony around the dinner table is
