A
How did the ancient Chinese
keep food warm in winter
Facilities like electric rice cookers and electric kettles make it easy for people to keep food warm. In fact, ancient Chinese people used their own methods of heat preservation.
“Wen Ding”， ancient rice cooker
The “Wen Ding” unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Neolithic Age. The craftsmanship of making the “Wen Ding” was developed in the Bronze Age. The bronze Ding from the Shang and Zhou dynasties took on different shapes and structures.
“Ran Lu”， ancient small hot pot
The “Ran Lu” is a small sized cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze. A charcoal (木炭) stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel's structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period (475－221 BC)．
Bronze You, ancient kettle
The Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with a beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening where charcoal could be placed.
Bronze Yan, ancient steamer
Although the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Yan was made with a two tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25－AD 220), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern day steamer.
1．When did the “Ran Lu” become popular

B．In the Warring States Period.
C．In the Eastern Han Dynasty.
D．In the Neolithic Age.
2．What is the unique advantage of the Bronze Yan

3．Among the following products, which one may have the longest history
A．The “Wen Ding”. B．The “Ran Lu”．
C．The Bronze You. D．The Bronze Yan.

Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.
The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn't see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man's actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we'd better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn't like my dad's voice. I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn't have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man's footsteps getting closer. Dad's face was almost pale. The so called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动售卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul.
It's one vacation I will never forget.
4．Where did the author spend the vacation
A．Near a lake. B．At the seaside.
C．In a village. D．In a mountain.
5．What happened on the last evening of their vacation
A．They were followed by a stranger.
B．Their cell phones were missing.
C．Their money was stolen.
D．They lost their way.
6．The underlined word “overwhelm” in Paragraph 2 means“________”．
A．control B．move
C．excite D．impress
7．What helped them get out of the trouble
A．Their quick action.
B．Other people's kind help.
C．The young man's warning.
D．The noise from the vending machine.

Urban air pollution is a huge public health issue — it kills more than 3 million people every year, according to the latest World Health Organization estimation.
As cities from Beijing to Paris to Sydney focus on reducing car traffic as a way to improve air quality, the city of Amsterdam is really ahead of the pack. In about 10 years, gas powered cars in the city will be banned. Their bus fleet will be powered by solar and wind by 2025.
While changes in major transportation and infrastructure (基础设施) take time, researchers at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands are testing a more immediate solution: a new type of honeysuckle (金银花) called Green Junkie.This new honeysuckle is bred to consume more carbon dioxide — in other words, it eats smog.
“The parts of a plant that pick up air pollution out of the air are the ‘hairs’， so what they've changed for this honeysuckle is that they've made it very, very hairy，” Emily Parry from AMS Institute, told Fastcoexist. The leaves of the plant are bigger and hairier than typical honeysuckle, and they grow more quickly, too. And it's fed with a special organic fertilizer made from plant waste collected from the city.
It makes sense that plants would be hybridized (杂交) for pollution cleanup of a special kind. Many plants absorb so much pollution — so that NASA has long promoted a list of those that can keep indoor air cleaner — and many homeowners choose plants that are particularly good at doing so. Some grasses and ivies are already used in traffic medians and roadsides specially because they can reduce particulate pollution (颗粒污染) by up to 60 percent.
8．By mentioning the solutions of some cities in the second paragraph, the author wants to express ________.
A．reducing car traffic is an effective way to improve air quality
B．cars will be powered by solar and wind by 2025
C．their solutions don't have a quick effect on air pollution
D．gas powered cars give off a lot of carbon dioxide
9．Which part of the new honeysuckle can take in smog
A．Hairs. B．Flowers.
C．Roots. D．Waste.
10．Compared with typical honeysuckle, the new honeysuckle ________.
A．can grow more slowly
B．need animal waste to grow
C．can grow larger and hairier leaves
D．can reduce more smog by up to 60 percent
11．What is the best title for the text
A．A Huge Public Health Issue
B．Is Smog More and More Terrible
C．Cars Powered by Solar and Wind
D．Can a Flower Help Cities Reduce Air Pollution

History movies have a huge audience in the U．S. A lot of these viewers are kids, watching the movies in theaters, at home and even at school.
Fact based or fictional, realistic or fantastic, history movies shape the way people think about the past. In a study of how families discussed historical understanding of the Vietnam War era, kids and parents both brought back memories of movies. Forrest Gump, in particular, was referred to by both generations.
Another study suggested that history films are likely used quite often in the classroom. People often speak of the busy or lazy teacher who puts on a movie instead of doing “real” teaching. However, research indicates that teachers actually tend to have good motives (动机) when it comes to showing movies in class. They believe that students are more motivated when a film is used. But are movies like these good for learning about history
Most young people are clever enough to know that movies are fictionalized, but that doesn't mean they know how to keep history and Hollywood separate. In a study of two U．S. history classes, high school students interviewed claimed that Hollywood films are less trustworthy sources of information. Yet in classroom activities, they treated them like any other reliable source. “The teacher must see some good history in it，” explained one student. “I don't think he's going to show something random，” said another.
The complicated relationship between fact and fiction is one of the many challenges educators face when they're using history movies in their classrooms. It's not as simple as pressing “play”. History movies have potential as learning tools, but that potential isn't easy to realize.
History movies by themselves don't teach. To help students really learn about history via Hollywood films, teachers need knowledge about the topics of the films. They also need to have good learning goals and awareness of the diverse cultural viewpoints that students bring to the classroom. And they need the time and resources for meaningful discussion or assignments after viewing.
12．What does the author try to show by mentioning the study in Paragraph 2
A．History movies affect people's views on the past.
B．The favorite topic family members is history.
C．Forrest Gump is popular among people of all ages.
D．History movies are a bond between parents and kids.
13．What did the students interviewed think of the history movies shown in class
A．They are historically accurate.
B．They are educationally valuable.
C．They are complicated in the plot.
D．They are completely pure fictions.
14．Which of the following may help history movies be good learning tools
A．Close relations between fact and fiction.
B．Diverse topics and cultural backgrounds.
C．Proper choices of films and lesson goals.
D．Responsible film producers like Hollywood.
15．What would be the best title for the text
A．Movies get students interested in history
B．History movies are loved by Hollywood
C．Why do teachers show movies in class
D．Are movies a good way to learn history

Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.
The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn't see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man's actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we'd better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn't like my dad's voice. I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn't have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man's footsteps getting closer. Dad's face was almost pale. The so called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动售卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul.
It's one vacation I will never forget.

Urban air pollution is a huge public health issue — it kills more than 3 million people every year, according to the latest World Health Organization estimation.
As cities from Beijing to Paris to Sydney focus on reducing car traffic as a way to improve air quality, the city of Amsterdam is really ahead of the pack. In about 10 years, gas powered cars in the city will be banned. Their bus fleet will be powered by solar and wind by 2025.
While changes in major transportation and infrastructure (基础设施) take time, researchers at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands are testing a more immediate solution: a new type of honeysuckle (金银花) called Green Junkie.This new honeysuckle is bred to consume more carbon dioxide — in other words, it eats smog.

13．What did the students interviewed think of the history movies shown in class
A．They are historically accurate.
B．They are educationally valuable.
C．They are complicated in the plot.
D．They are completely pure fictions.
解析：选B 推理判断题。由第四段的“The teacher must see some good history in it”和“I don't think he's going to show something random”可知，这两名学生信赖老师在课堂上播放的电影，认为老师是因为看到了其中好的历史元素才播放的；由此推知，他们认为课堂上播放的历史电影在教育上是有价值的。
14．Which of the following may help history movies be good learning tools

Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
“What would you do if you had only one day __41__ (leave) to live？”I asked this question to my young students when __42__ (teach) English this winter.
“I would watch television！”
“I would play with the computer！” ...
My heart was hurt. I was too frightened __43__ (listen) to more answers like that.
Ten years ago, __44__ their age, I had a different answer: I would spend the last day of my life with my dear grandmother.
When my grandmother was getting old and weak, my family bought her a telephone to make calls, __45__ could save time and the trouble of traveling to her home. Later we bought her a television. She must __46__ (be), we thought, very happy.
But I never really knew how Grandma felt. She __47__ (silent) passed away without a word one night. When I heard about her __48__ (die), I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I tried to remember how my grandma looked but I failed completely! How could I remember I __49__ (not, visit) her for ages!
I told my grandma's story to those young kids that day. They asked me for a second chance to answer the question because they had come to __50__ new understanding.
语篇解读：如果你的生命只剩下最后一天，你会做些什么？
41．left 考查非谓语动词。过去分词left作one day的后置定语“剩下的一天”。
42．teaching 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，其逻辑主语“I”与teach之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。
43．to listen 考查非谓语动词。too＋形容词＋to do意为“太……而不能做……”。
44．at 考查介词。at one's age意为“在某人的年龄”。
45．which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知，空处缺非限定性定语从句的引导词。which替代前面的主句在定语从句中作主语。
46．have been 考查情态动词表推测。根据句意“我们认为她肯定是高兴的”可知这里表示对过去的肯定推测，用must have done结构。
47．silently 考查副词。修饰动词用副词silently。
48．death 考查名词。句中的介词about后接名词作宾语，空处填death。
49．hadn't visited/had not visited 考查时态。前面指出“我试着记起外婆的样子，但是彻底失败了。我怎么可能记得？”推出下一句表达“我已经好多年没去外婆家看外婆了。”for ages提示用完成时态，而文章用过去时态讲述故事，故空处用过去完成时的否定形式。
50．a 考查冠词。a new understanding表示泛指，“一种新的理解”。

He's snatched my bag！” Hearing this, some people began to run after the young fellow. At that moment, there was an old man sitting quietly on a bench nearby. As the snatcher was running past him, the old man quickly picked up his umbrella and caught one of the fellow's legs. The young fellow fell down on the ground.
Soon two policemen came and took him away.
The lady thanked the old man very much, and the people around praised the old man for his performance.
