Late one morning in 1984, heading for lunch in San Francisco, I 28 toward a booth. I heard loud music. It sounded like a 29 . I looked around. No other 30 with their windows open. No sound trucks. I looked at the toll booth. Inside it, a man was 31 .

He said, “What do those look like to you?” He 33 to the row of toll booths.
“They look like... toll booths. What do they look like to you?”

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
My favorite book that I’ve read is the well-known novel Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. The novel is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He goes to meet his father in Canada, but when he’s in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong — the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. Brian is stranded (处于困境) in the Canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hatchet (手斧) and the clothes on his back.
As the plane goes down in the story, the risks rise for Brian. That’s one reason why this book is so great. Gary Paulsen explains Brian’s troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe Brian’s troubles as well.
One other reason is that it sparks (激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading Gary Paulsen’s books. In this novel, the question is, “How will the main character survive?” So it’s obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel. As you have probably guessed, Brian suffers from hunger and searches for food and shelter. When Brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street.
The third reason why this book is so well thought of is the creativity Gary has put into Brian. Brian uses a lot of things in his surroundings in every way: a common stick can be a spear (矛) or an arrow.
In a word, when you start this book, you won’t stop reading it until Brian is rescued. I feel that Gary Paulsen gave Brian Robeson life, and that’s what made Hatchet a great book.
46. What challenge does Brian have to face?
A. He can hardly keep himself warm.
B. He is too young to protect himself.
C. It’s very difficult to find food.
D. He has no tools with him.
47. What’s probably the ending of the story?
A. The boy is found and saved.
B. The boy fails to defeat difficulties.
C. The boy manages to fly to his father.
D. The boy lives in the wilderness forever.
48. We can learn from the text that .
A. the novel mainly tells us how to survive in the wild
B. hatchet is the only thing that the pilot leaves to Brian
C. Gary Paulsen saved Brian Robeson’s life
D. the author thinks highly of the novel
B
The most popular fashion trend (趋势) for 2012 is a modern reinvention of revival (重新流行) styles, particularly styles from the 1960s. This is mostly a result of recent TV shows. Many of the styles on sale look attractive on teenage girls.

Cat eye sunglasses are one of the most fashionable sunglasses shapes for 2012. Cat eye sunglasses are those shaped wider along the top lenses (镜片) and narrower at the bottom. They will immediately make you look up to date with the 1960s revival.

Ballet flat shoes are a great day-to-day style because they are always very comfortable to walk in. This season many printed styles are appearing in stores. Flower prints are some of the most popular looks.

Droughts (干旱) are a common feature of the weather in the UK, with one around every 5 to 10 years on average. After 18 months since the drought began to hit the UK, most of the east and south-east of England is affected by drought. Luckily, a new water plant in Beckton, East London, is helping to ease the drought by turning seawater into drinking water.
The £270-million plant uses a process (过程) called desalination, through which salt and other minerals are taken out of seawater. The plant takes seawater from the Thames Estuary when the sea is at low tide, filters (过滤) it and then pumps it through a membrane (薄膜) with lots of little holes in it. The process makes the water so clean that essential minerals have to be put back into it. Around 150 million liters of water will be produced in this way each day, supplying 1.4 million people with water.
With summer drawing near, the project has been developed to help the widespread drought across the UK. Seven water companies have announced the limited use of water, and hosepipe (水龙带) bans are likely to be announced next month. The ban could affect one in three homes and people caught breaking the rules could face a fine of up to £1,000.
As the desalination process is expensive to run and uses a lot of energy, it will only be used in times of drought. Martin Baggs, chief executive of Thames Water, said that more money is needed to help build reservoirs (水库) and develop new technology. He added, “People must use less water during extreme conditions.”
53. The process of desalination refers to the process of .
A. removing salt from seawater B. adding minerals into seawater
C. taking water from the sea D. supplying people with water
54. It is implied in the text that in summer, .
A. the drought in the UK will be less severe
B. more methods will be used to ease droughts
C. more drinking water will be accessible in the UK
D. the UK will be threatened by more serious droughts
55. The process of desalination might not be widely used mainly because .
A. new technology can be developed
B. it costs too much money and energy
C. it can’t produce enough drinking water
D. the water made this way isn’t healthy
56. What is the text mainly about?
A. Droughts have been common in the history of the UK.
B. The technology of taking salt out of seawater is being tested.
C. Seawater is being turned into drinking water in the UK.
D. Different methods are used to ease the droughts in the UK.
D

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余项。
A. Bad weather.
B. It’s too boring.
C. I hate sweating.
D. It’s too confusing.
E. It’s hard to stay motivated.
F. Annoying people at the gym.
Five things I hate about exercise
Exercise is good for you, but there are things about it that can drive you crazy. There are those annoying people at the gym, confusion about what to do and how to get started, sweating, watching the unmoving scale for weeks on end ... it’s no wonder that some of us would rather just not deal with it. Here are some things I hate about exercise:
61.
Whatever gym you go to, chances are you’ll run into annoying people. There are the machine-hoggers (独占健身器材者), the perfume-wearers and noisy people. There’s the guy who leaves his weights on the machine and the woman yelling into her cell phone. It’s unfortunate, but anytime you put many people into a small, sweaty space, there are problems surely.
62.
Sweat is a good thing because it’s your body’s way of keeping you cool and regulating (调节) your temperature. Unfortunately, it’s also wet and giving off a bad smell, which can be a problem if you don’t have time or access to a shower.
63.
With so much confusing information out there, it’s easy to give up before you get started. Choosing the right workouts for the right number of days at the right time seems impossible, but there really is no “right” way to do it.
64.
Most workouts aren’t going to be as fun as lounging on a beach eating peeled grapes and most of us don’t expect that. Still, too many people grind through workouts they don’t like because they’ve been told it’s the best way to exercise. Effective workouts are important, but they won’t work if you don’t do them.
65.
If you’re an outdoor exerciser, bad weather can derail even the most enthusiastic person. Even if you’re working out inside, just the thought of driving to the gym in the rain or snow may be enough to keep you in bed.
