A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states — meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust coloured line on its back.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction”， according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies.
US officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilise many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilise grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.
24.How many states declared the rusty patched bumblebee endangered
A．13. B．28.
C．48. D．50.
25．Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee
A．Planting native plants.
B．Reducing the use of pesticide products.
C．Leaving plants alone.
D．Cutting out plants regularly.
26．What can we know about the rusty patched bumblebee according to the text
A．All the states declared it as endangered species.
B．It is named for a rust coloured line on its belly.
C．It is beneficial to land owners.
D．It is endangered mainly because of habitat loss.
27．What’s the best title for the passage
A．The Bumblebee Added to the US Endangered Species List
B．Why Is the Bumblebee on the Brink of Extinction
C．Take Steps to Help the Bumblebee
D．The Benefits of Protecting Bumblebee

Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives (马尔代夫) are among the most beautiful islands in the world, with sandy white beaches, clear water, and amazing coral reefs (珊瑚礁). The country depends on tourism, fishing, and shipping. But the rising sea level and the carbon pollution causing warming oceans are threatening (威胁) their existence.
The Maldives have asked for international help. They are a tiny country. The World Bank, the United States, the European Union, and many other groups have offered money to develop safeguards against climate change.
To protect the islands, the Maldives have built sea walls and increased the elevation (海拔) of important buildings and services such as the two international airports, which lie just 165 feet from the coastline.
They’re also building up islands such as the Hulhumale. The new island is surrounded by 9 foot high sea walls. More than 40,000 people live there. The plan is to house 240,000, providing new opportunities for jobs. The goal is an excellent planned community with sustainable housing and buildings sensitive to the environment and needs of the people.
The government will move people living on smaller, lower lying islands to the new built up islands. The new islands offer free houses, new schools, health hospitals, fresh water, and waste treatment. Depending on tourism, the country hopes to build 50 more tourist islands.
“Climate change is happening, but we are not leaving the Maldives to the sea，” said Environment Minister Thoriq Ibrahim. The Maldives will protect their islands, people and tourism with new islands and ongoing island development against the rising sea level.
28．What makes it difficult for the Maldives to exist
A．Their tourism, fishing and shipping.
B．Their rising sea level and carbon pollution.

B．Many groups have helped the Maldives.
C．240,000 people live on the Hulhumale now.
D．The Hulhumale is surrounded by 9 foot high sea walls.
30．Which of the following will Thoriq Ibrahim agree with
A．The Maldives will be protected.
B．The Maldivians will leave all the islands.
C．The Maldives should give up tourism.
D．The Maldives will sink to the sea.
31．Which of the following is the best title for this passage

B．The Maldives and Their Rising Sea Level
C．The Maldives and Their Climate Change
D．The Maldives and Their Fight against the Rising Sea Level

When your guests step into your home, should you, or shouldn’t you, ask them to remove their shoes Are shoe bacteria something we should really be worried about in our homes
The average shoe harbors (窝藏) hundreds of thousands of bacteria per square inch. The bottoms of our shoes are essentially a meet and greet for these bacteria, and with each step we take, we pick up new ones. Wherever you go, you’re going to be picking up them. But exactly what types of bacterial communities are hanging out on our shoes, and do they present a health threat Almost all shoes were coated with all kinds of bacteria. While many types are harmless to humans, some can cause severe diseases, such as skin infections, and infections of the blood and the heart.
But despite the horrifying picture, there isn’t anything too serious to worry about. While many of us might want to take a house cleaning step at the thought of shoes, the reality is that the load of bacteria our shoes bring indoors isn’t typically high enough to make the average healthy person very sick. For a healthy individual, bacteria on shoes likely have no risk.
Another point is that most of us don’t spend a lot of time on the ground, where shoe bacteria stay. The exposure makes the poison. So if you’re not exposed to it, you’re not going to get sick from it. In some cases, layers of bacteria coating the floor can enter the air we breathe, lifted by the wind from a window. That might increase infection risk. But the greatest threat really lies on the ground. We should be more worried about a child crawling around on the floor. For a healthy adult, it’s not too big of an issue.
For the average household, shoe bacteria don’t have an immediate risk. Healthy bacteria keep us healthy and protect us from other bacteria that can cause us illness. For most healthy persons, however, you can make the decision of taking your outdoor shoes off as much based on preference and habit.
32．What can we infer about bacteria from the second paragraph
A．All kinds of bacteria can cause us illness.
B．Bacteria exist elsewhere other than on our shoes.
C．The covers of our shoes have the more bacteria.
D．Heart diseases are caused by bacteria from shoes.
33．What does the underlined word “high” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．From above to bottom.
B．Far above the ground.
C．Standing tall.
D．Containing a lot.
34．When are you advised to take your outdoor shoes off
A．There are old persons at home.
B．There are small children at home.
C．You spend much time at home.
D．You want to close the window of your house.
35．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Why Do People Get Sick
B．Why Do Some Places Harbor More Bacteria
C．Should You Take off Your Shoes Indoors
D．Could Humans Live without Bacteria

How to Be Eco friendly
If you’d love to be more eco friendly but don’t know where to begin, start with a few small changes. 36 .
Lowering Your Energy
Turn off lights and unplug power strips (电源插板) that you’re not using. 37 . Since some devices can still use energy even when they’re turned off, turn off these power strips at night to completely cut off energy use. If you need to leave your computer, or TV on, try setting it to sleep mode instead of simply leaving it on.
Using Public Transportation
38 . Keeping cars off the road in rush hours can also improve the air quality. If you do need to drive somewhere, ask friends if they’d like to carpool (拼车), so fewer cars are on the road.
39
Say no to unnecessary plastic straws, lids, and bags and stop using plastic wrap and plastic containers for food storage. Instead, you can use reusable water bottles made of sustainable material like glass, bamboo, and ceramic.
Considering Growing a Plant
They add more oxygen to the air, which means less polluted air. If you don’t have a green thumb, choose some plants that are rather easy to look after. 40 . If possible, grow more than one plant.
A．Reduce your gas consumption and carbon emissions by walking, biking, or taking the bus
B．Here are some suggestions for you to live an eco friendly life
C．Use less energy during the hot summer months and cold winter season
D．This is an easy way to reduce energy use
E．Using items more than once
F．Cutting Back on Plastics and Waste
G．“Lucky Bamboo” is especially good for that, since it demands nearly no attention

Each year the headmaster of the school where I work asks us to read a book chosen by him. This year’s 41 is The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything by Ken Robinson.

He goes on to say that he feels it is 44 for each of us to find our Element, not just for our own 45 ， but for the improvement of our world.
How 46 is it to look at those who seem to have found their Element. They are 47 at what they do, and we assume they love to do it because they do what they do so 48 . We assume that they have 49 their Element. But what is important to note, Robinson says, is that each of us has the 50 to find the Element.
In academic settings, there is an effort to help students 51 what talents they have been 52 . The goal then is to help them 53 the most of these talents through experience, 54 ， and individualized attention. But this is only one piece of the puzzle, as 55 by Robinson. The other piece is finding where a person’s talent and the love of exercising that talent intersect (交点)．

Deborah was originally from Nebraska. She and her parents moved to California because her dad found a great job opportunity there. Deborah had to move to a new high school though. She missed all her old friends already, but was looking forward to meeting new people.
On her first day of school, Deborah introduced herself to the class. The guys in the class started whispering about how pretty she was. Some of the girls nodded in agreement while some of the girls just rolled their eyes in jealousy. After Deborah introduced herself, there was an announcement about Homecoming, a tradition welcoming back the students to school. The announcement invited all students to run for Homecoming Queen and King. Deborah would have run if she was back in Nebraska, but she didn’t know anyone in California.
At lunchtime, a girl invited Deborah to sit with her and her friends. “Hi! You’re new! I’m Kimberly. I’m in your homeroom class，” she said. Deborah was touched by Kimberly’s kindness. “You should totally run for Homecoming Queen！” Kimberly said. “I would, but nobody knows me. I don’t stand chances，” Deborah said. “Yes, you do. Everyone is already talking about you and calling you the Pretty New Girl. Also, the main competitor is Sarah, but all the girls don’t want her to win because she won last year and she’s really mean (刻薄的)．” Deborah decided to run for Homecoming Queen after Kimberly said this. What’s the harm
Deborah was running for Homecoming Queen at the high school she just transferred to a few days ago. Deborah and Sarah put up posters. The poster had a picture of Deborah with her list of accomplishments and characteristics. Deborah was a pageant contestant (选美比赛) a couple of years ago, a 4.0 student, and a volunteer at the animal shelter. Classmates came up to Deborah after school to tell her how great she was. Deborah thanked them.

M：I was very busy these days. I had been preparing for my English exam all the time, so I had no time.
W：Oh, come on. I think you should have a good rest. Let’s enjoy this free Wednesday night.
M：Anne, listen, I really can’t.
W：Are you serious
M：Yes, you know it means a lot to me.
W：OK, I understand. I will go by myself. Could you lend me your car, please
M：But you don’t have a driver’s license.
W：Who cares
M：Well, well, Anne. I am going to drive you there and you can call a taxi when the party is over.
W：All right.
(Text 10)
M: What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in California.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of a famous person. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Madonna’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses; Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore them! I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table, the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup! The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee (大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states — meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust coloured line on its back.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The insects are “on the brink of extinction”， according to the service. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other insects, like butterflies.
US officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The insects directly fertilise many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilise grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly because of habitat loss. Other reasons were disease, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在美国濒临灭绝的锈迹大黄蜂的情况以及采取的保护措施，并说明了灭绝的原因。

25．Which one is harmful to the rusty patched bumblebee
A．Planting native plants.
B．Reducing the use of pesticide products.

Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives (马尔代夫) are among the most beautiful islands in the world, with sandy white beaches, clear water, and amazing coral reefs (珊瑚礁). The country depends on tourism, fishing, and shipping. But the rising sea level and the carbon pollution causing warming oceans are threatening (威胁) their existence.
The Maldives have asked for international help. They are a tiny country. The World Bank, the United States, the European Union, and many other groups have offered money to develop safeguards against climate change.
To protect the islands, the Maldives have built sea walls and increased the elevation (海拔) of important buildings and services such as the two international airports, which lie just 165 feet from the coastline.
They’re also building up islands such as the Hulhumale. The new island is surrounded by 9 foot high sea walls. More than 40,000 people live there. The plan is to house 240,000, providing new opportunities for jobs. The goal is an excellent planned community with sustainable housing and buildings sensitive to the environment and needs of the people.
The government will move people living on smaller, lower lying islands to the new built up islands. The new islands offer free houses, new schools, health hospitals, fresh water, and waste treatment. Depending on tourism, the country hopes to build 50 more tourist islands.
“Climate change is happening, but we are not leaving the Maldives to the sea，” said Environment Minister Thoriq Ibrahim. The Maldives will protect their islands, people and tourism with new islands and ongoing island development against the rising sea level.

When your guests step into your home, should you, or shouldn’t you, ask them to remove their shoes Are shoe bacteria something we should really be worried about in our homes
The average shoe harbors (窝藏) hundreds of thousands of bacteria per square inch. The bottoms of our shoes are essentially a meet and greet for these bacteria, and with each step we take, we pick up new ones. Wherever you go, you’re going to be picking up them. But exactly what types of bacterial communities are hanging out on our shoes, and do they present a health threat Almost all shoes were coated with all kinds of bacteria. While many types are harmless to humans, some can cause severe diseases, such as skin infections, and infections of the blood and the heart.
But despite the horrifying picture, there isn’t anything too serious to worry about. While many of us might want to take a house cleaning step at the thought of shoes, the reality is that the load of bacteria our shoes bring indoors isn’t typically high enough to make the average healthy person very sick. For a healthy individual, bacteria on shoes likely have no risk.
Another point is that most of us don’t spend a lot of time on the ground, where shoe bacteria stay. The exposure makes the poison. So if you’re not exposed to it, you’re not going to get sick from it. In some cases, layers of bacteria coating the floor can enter the air we breathe, lifted by the wind from a window. That might increase infection risk. But the greatest threat really lies on the ground. We should be more worried about a child crawling around on the floor. For a healthy adult, it’s not too big of an issue.
For the average household, shoe bacteria don’t have an immediate risk. Healthy bacteria keep us healthy and protect us from other bacteria that can cause us illness. For most healthy persons, however, you can make the decision of taking your outdoor shoes off as much based on preference and habit.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了为了避免细菌感染，我们是否需要在客人或者自己进入房子时，把鞋子脱掉。
32．What can we infer about bacteria from the second paragraph
A．All kinds of bacteria can cause us illness.
B．Bacteria exist elsewhere other than on our shoes.
C．The covers of our shoes have the more bacteria.
D．Heart diseases are caused by bacteria from shoes.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句和第三句可知，每走一步，都会沾上细菌；不管你去哪里，都会沾上细菌。可见，细菌不仅仅我们的鞋上有，到处都是。故选B。
33．What does the underlined word “high” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．From above to bottom.
B．Far above the ground.
C．Standing tall.
D．Containing a lot.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据第二段和第三段内容可知，尽管有些细菌有毒，但是由鞋子带到室内的细菌一般来说都不多，因而一般的健康人影响不大。故选D。
34．When are you advised to take your outdoor shoes off
A．There are old persons at home.
B．There are small children at home.
C．You spend much time at home.
D．You want to close the window of your house.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段内容，尤其是最后两句可知，鞋子带进来的细菌大多在地面上，小孩子在地上爬行的话容易感染。故选B。
35．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Why Do People Get Sick
B．Why Do Some Places Harbor More Bacteria
C．Should You Take off Your Shoes Indoors
D．Could Humans Live without Bacteria
解析：选C 标题归纳题。本文首尾呼应，开篇提到因为细菌，我们是否要求客人进屋时脱鞋；文章最后谈到是否脱鞋就看你的习惯和爱好了。故选C。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Be Eco friendly
If you’d love to be more eco friendly but don’t know where to begin, start with a few small changes. 36 .
Lowering Your Energy
Turn off lights and unplug power strips (电源插板) that you’re not using. 37 . Since some devices can still use energy even when they’re turned off, turn off these power strips at night to completely cut off energy use. If you need to leave your computer, or TV on, try setting it to sleep mode instead of simply leaving it on.
Using Public Transportation
38 . Keeping cars off the road in rush hours can also improve the air quality. If you do need to drive somewhere, ask friends if they’d like to carpool (拼车), so fewer cars are on the road.
39
Say no to unnecessary plastic straws, lids, and bags and stop using plastic wrap and plastic containers for food storage. Instead, you can use reusable water bottles made of sustainable material like glass, bamboo, and ceramic.
Considering Growing a Plant
They add more oxygen to the air, which means less polluted air. If you don’t have a green thumb, choose some plants that are rather easy to look after. 40 . If possible, grow more than one plant.
A．Reduce your gas consumption and carbon emissions by walking, biking, or taking the bus
B．Here are some suggestions for you to live an eco friendly life
C．Use less energy during the hot summer months and cold winter season
D．This is an easy way to reduce energy use
E．Using items more than once
F．Cutting Back on Plastics and Waste
G．“Lucky Bamboo” is especially good for that, since it demands nearly no attention
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了保护环境的一些方法。
36．选B 分析文章可知，文章采用了总分结构，第一段为总起段，因此最后一句需起到总起作用，引出下文介绍的环保的一些做法，故B项符合语境。
37．选D 根据空前第一句“Turn off lights and unplug power strips (电源插板) that you’re not using.”可知，这是一件非常简单的，随手就可以做的事，故D项符合语境。
38．选A 第三段的主旨大意是使用公共交通，且空后一句也提到改善空气质量，因此A项(通过步行、骑自行车或乘坐公交车，可以减少尾气和碳排放)符合第三段的语境。
39．选F 空处是段落小标题。第四段提到要拒绝使用不必要的塑料吸管、盖子、塑料袋。F项提到减少塑料和废物，符合第四段的语境。
40．选G 最后一段提到可以养一些比较容易照顾的植物。G项中提到的Lucky Bamboo就是一个特别好的选择，因为它几乎不需要怎么照顾就可以成长。由此可判断G项是对前文中的进一步解释，符合文意。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Each year the headmaster of the school where I work asks us to read a book chosen by him. This year’s 41 is The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything by Ken Robinson. Robinson uses the term “the Element” to 42 the place where the things we 43 to do and the things we are good at come together. He goes on to say that he feels it is 44 for each of us to find our Element, not just for our own 45 ， but for the improvement of our world.
How 46 is it to look at those who seem to have found their Element. They are 47 at what they do, and we assume they love to do it because they do what they do so 48 . We assume that they have 49 their Element. But what is important to note, Robinson says, is that each of us has the 50 to find the Element.
In academic settings, there is an effort to help students 51 what talents they have been 52 . The goal then is to help them 53 the most of these talents through experience, 54 ， and individualized attention. But this is only one piece of the puzzle, as 55 by Robinson. The other piece is finding where a person’s talent and the love of exercising that talent intersect (交点)．

Dear fellow students，
Our school has started a programme of garbage sorting.It is my great honour to represent the Students’ Union to make our voice heard on it.
As we all know, we produce lots of garbage, such as leftover food, waste paper and plastic bottles every day, which becomes a big headache in our life.Therefore, garbage sorting is a good way of dealing with it. To begin with, we can recycle what can be reused to save more resources.Besides, harmful materials in the sorted garbage can be properly treated to avoid environment pollution.As students, we are supposed to tell different types of garbage and put them in different dustbins to make recycling easier.
Now I am here to call on everyone to take action together to make the environment clean and beautiful.
Yours，
Li Hua

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Deborah was originally from Nebraska. She and her parents moved to California because her dad found a great job opportunity there. Deborah had to move to a new high school though. She missed all her old friends already, but was looking forward to meeting new people.
On her first day of school, Deborah introduced herself to the class. The guys in the class started whispering about how pretty she was. Some of the girls nodded in agreement while some of the girls just rolled their eyes in jealousy. After Deborah introduced herself, there was an announcement about Homecoming, a tradition welcoming back the students to school. The announcement invited all students to run for Homecoming Queen and King. Deborah would have run if she was back in Nebraska, but she didn’t know anyone in California.
At lunchtime, a girl invited Deborah to sit with her and her friends. “Hi! You’re new! I’m Kimberly. I’m in your homeroom class，” she said. Deborah was touched by Kimberly’s kindness. “You should totally run for Homecoming Queen！” Kimberly said. “I would, but nobody knows me. I don’t stand chances，” Deborah said. “Yes, you do. Everyone is already talking about you and calling you the Pretty New Girl. Also, the main competitor is Sarah, but all the girls don’t want her to win because she won last year and she’s really mean (刻薄的)．” Deborah decided to run for Homecoming Queen after Kimberly said this. What’s the harm
Deborah was running for Homecoming Queen at the high school she just transferred to a few days ago. Deborah and Sarah put up posters. The poster had a picture of Deborah with her list of accomplishments and characteristics. Deborah was a pageant contestant (选美比赛) a couple of years ago, a 4.0 student, and a volunteer at the animal shelter. Classmates came up to Deborah after school to tell her how great she was. Deborah thanked them.

You’re a new student，” she said. “I know and I think that this is a great opportunity to get to meet people. I’ve already met so many people since running for Homecoming Queen，” Deborah said. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you，” Sarah said.
Deborah wore a long gold dress to Homecoming. She went to Homecoming with Kimberly and some other friends. The Homecoming dance was inside the gym. It was decorated nicely. Deborah danced with her friends. Later, the headteacher came out on the stage to announce the Homecoming Queen and King. “Your Homecoming Queen is ... Deborah！” he said. Deborah was happily surprised. People cheered for her and said kind words. Sarah rolled her eyes and left the dance. Deborah went up to the stage and made a speech. She was off to a good start at her new school.
