五、阅读单选(共10分)
(本题10分) When we think of food farming, we usually think of green fields in the country outside the city. Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruits, vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”
Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New York and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big pots and boxes—there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to water the plants when the weather is dry.”
The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruits and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t need to transport this food from anywhere, and that saves energy. It’s better for the environment.”
The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe (成熟), we can pick them and use them right away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam.
“I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”
32．Green Garden’s rooftop farm is _________.
A．in the countryside B．in the middle of a small town
C．in the city center of Toronto D．near the city of New York
33．The fruit and vegetables Sam grows are _________.

C．taken home by the people working there D．offered to people working in the building
34．The underlined word “this space” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A．the roof of the building where Sam works B．different types of open space in cities
C．the roofs of city buildings D．green fields in the countryside
35．According to Sam, the food from the rooftop is better than the food bought from other places because _________.
A．it’s cheaper and tastes better B．it is fresher and better for the environment
C．it uses wasted space in the city D．it can’t be bought in the local supermarket
36．The best title of the passage should be _________.
A．The City of Toronto B．Fresh Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs
C．Better Environment D．Rooftop Farming

(本题12分) Oil is not the only source of power in South America. Many countries rely on another liquid-water. Many of the America's big rivers are 37 to make hydroelectric power(水电), or electricity produced by controlling the force of flowing water.
South America's biggest hydroelectric plant is Itaipu Dam, located on the border of Paraguay and Brazil. This massive dam stretch across the Parana River. 38 workers could even begin building the dam, they had to shift(移动) the Parana River around the construction site(工地). They did this by 39 a 2-kilometer channel around the dam site.
This project alone took nearly three years.
The governments of Paraguay and Brazil work together to run the hydroelectric plants at Itaipu Dam. The countries split the low- cost electricity 40 here. Both countries benefit from this agreement. Paraguay is a smaller country than Brazil and it doesn't need nearly as much electricity. In fact, Itaipu Dam produces far more electricity than the whole country of Paraguay can use!
So Paraguay earns money by 41 its excess(多余的) electricity to Brazil. This electricity helps light up Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo.
Itaipu Dam brings money to the region in another way as well. As one of the engineering wonders of the modern world, Itaipu Dam has become a major 42 attraction.

八、阅读回答问题(共12分)
(本题12分)Great inventions
Great inventions change the world. They help people live a better life. The following are the most important inventions in history.
The wheel
The wheel is perhaps the greatest invention in history. After its invention, travelling became faster and more comfortable. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels on carriages（马车）. In the early 19th century, the first trains began to carry passengers. At the start of the 20th century, cars became popular. Without the wheel, we would not have these inventions.
The telephone
Alexander Graham Bell invented one of the first practical（实用的） telephones in 1876. Since then, people have been able to speak to each other over long distances. Today millions of people across the world own mobile phones. They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime, anywhere.
The light bulb
Thomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in1879. Before the invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas lamps or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine living without them

Great inventions change the world. They help people live a better life. The following are the most important inventions in history.
The wheel
The wheel is perhaps the greatest invention in history. After its invention, travelling became faster and more comfortable. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels on carriages（马车）.

The telephone
Alexander Graham Bell invented one of the first practical（实用的） telephones in 1876. Since then, people have been able to speak to each other over long distances. Today millions of people across the world own mobile phones. They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime, anywhere.
The light bulb
Thomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in1879. Before the invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas lamps or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine living without them

Maybe sometimes we feel lucky that life is full of help and love. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【标准答案】例文
Maybe sometimes we feel lucky that life is full of help and love. There are many examples that we should learn from around us. Their actions are moving and have positive influence.
There are quite a few people that I admire greatly, but I admire Edison most because he had more than 1, 000 inventions. In his life time, he was so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions. What impresses me most is his famous saying, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Probably I can’t be an Edison myself, but I can be a hard working learner.
From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
