Then, he invited some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of his neighbors to come over and help 63 . They all took a shovel (铁铲) and began to put dirt into the well.
At first, the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onkey realized what was happening and cried 64 (pitiful). Then, to everyone's surprise, the donkey became quiet. A few shovel loads later, the fanner looked down into the well and was astonished at 65 he saw.
Each shovel of dirt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hit its back, but the donkey was doing something 66 (amaze). It was shaking the dirt off and taking a step up. 67 the neighbors continued to put more dirt on top of the animal, it would shake the dirt off and take one more step up.
Pretty soon everyo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne was surprised as the donkey stepped up over the edge of 68 well and ran off happily!
When life sometimes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 69 ( put) dirt on you, the best way of getting out of the well is to shake the dirt off and take a step up. Each of your troubles is a stepping stone. You can get out of the deepest well just 70 never giving up!

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A recent study of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species.
The discovery ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant.
Once they obtained D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )NA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously, ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants’ significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3. 5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2. 5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先) for conservation purposes.”
1. One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of .
A. the Asian elephant B. the forest elephant
C. the savanna elephant D. the mastodon elephant
2. The underlined word “divergence” in Paragraph 4 means “ ."
AA. evolution B. exhibition C. separation D. examination
3. The researchers’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant’s .
A. DNA B. height C. weight D. population
4. What are Alfred Roca’s words mainly about
A. The conservation of African elephants.
B. The purpose of studying African elephants.
C. The way to divide African elephants into two units.
D. The reason for the distinction of African elephants.
5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Naturalists’ Beliefs about Elephants
B. Amazing Experiments about Elephants
C. An Unexpected Finding about Elephants
D. A Long Scientific Debate about Elephants

1．[解析] 由语境可知，这里应该用一般现在时，主语The first和schedule之间是动宾关系，所以要用被动形式。
[答案] is scheduled
2．[解析] 根据语境和主句谓语动词said的时态可以看出，这里应该用过去将来时的被动语态。
[答案] would not be affected

[答案] which
4．[解析] 由语境可知此处应用现在分词形式作后置定语。

8．[解析] 前部分说遇到了困难，后来他们成功地摆脱了(困难)，所以用but表转折。
[答案] but

[答案] eighth
10．[解析] 引导一个名词性从句，并在从句中作时间状语，所以要用when。
[答案] when

The traditional ten ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.
Major festivals s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uch as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.
Taking inspiration ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.
The design won an a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ward at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.
To raise mon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.
Mr Dunlop said th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics. For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.
The biggest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

1．解析： 考查交际用语。根据答语中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的“Maybe you could ask the policeman over there.”可知，答话者也不确切知道怎么去市政厅，因此选D项。A piece of cake.小菜一碟；That depends.那得看情况；I don’t care.我不在乎；I don’t know for sure.我并不确切知道。
答案： D
2．解析： 考查冠词。句意为：每天 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )早上慢跑是个好习惯。坚持下去，你就会取得很大进步。“________good habit”泛指“一个好习惯”，第一空应用不定冠词a；progress为不可数名词，make progress为固定词组，表示“取得进步”，第二空不填。

答案： B
4．解析： 考查非谓语动词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )和省略。该句though后面是省略，相当于though he was given several chances by his teammates。逻辑主语the footballer与动词give构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词given，所以这里选D项。

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Three years ago, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e president of Harvard, Lawrence H. Summers, got into trouble for questioning women’s“intrinsic (内在的)aptitude (能力)”for science and engineering. Recently, a study paid for by America’s National Science Foundation has found that girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests.
Although boys in hig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h school performed better than girls in math 20 years ago, the researchers found that is no longer the case. The reason, they said, is simple: Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys, but now they are taking just as many.
“Now that enro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llment in advanced math courses is equalized, we don’t see gender differences in test performance,” said Marcia C. Linn of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-author of the study. “But people are surprised by these findings, which suggests to me that the stereotypes are still there.”
The research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers looked at the average test scores of all students, the performance of the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys.
Janet Hyde, a profes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study, said the stereotypes about girls and math, had taken a toll (造成伤害).
“The stereotype tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t boys do better at math is still held widely by teachers and parents,” hyde said. “And teachers and parents guide girls, giving them advice about what courses to take, what careers to pursue. I still hear anecdotes about guidance counselors (顾问)steering (指导)girls away from engineering, telling them they won’t be able to do the math.”
The study also anal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yzed the gender gap on the math section of the SAT. Since more girls than boys go to college, about 100, 000 more girls than boys take the test, including lower-achieving girls who bring down the girls’ average score.
1. What might be the reason to carry out the study
A. To put Harvar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d University to shame for its president’s prejudice against girls.
B. To find out if there’s any gender gap in science.
C. To help girls to earn equal social status as boys.
D. To enroll more girls in advanced math courses in the university.
2. Which statement about people’s opinions of girls is NOT true
A. People sti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll find it hard to believe average girls perform in math as well as boys.
B. Highly educate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d people are more likely to accept the fact that girls can do well in math.
C. Many teache ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs and parents advise girls to avoid careers like engineering based on their talent.
D. Some guidance co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )unselors think careers related with math are not suitable for girls.
3. We can learn from the text EXCEPT ______.
A. girls used to perf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orm worse than boys in math because they didn’t take as many advanced math courses
B. the stere ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )otype about girls and math may lead to misguided choice of future careers
C. the average lower s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cores of girls in SAT math test prove that boys do better in math
D. the public d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oesn’t accept outspoken prejudice against girls’ talent for math despite the stereotype
4. The main purpose of writing the passage is to______.
A. report the findings of a research into girls’ math ability
B. criticize those w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ho hold the wrong belief that girls cannot do well in math
C. prove that the stereotype that girls do worse in math is wrong
D. help girls regain confidence in learning math well

Brian Gambles, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning:“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital, providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”
The digital library w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ill, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual (虚拟的) LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngham-based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People’s Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.
Gambles says: “T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )echnology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to citizens as never before.”

health efiects ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on citizens during a recent outbreak of heavy pollution in Beijing．Still，they said they
were unsure ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the exact amount the air pollution takes on any person’s body，casting doubts on
local reports tying t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he area’s dirty air to particular cases of illness．
Speaking a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t a briefing(情况介绍会)on Tuesday，the WHO’s Western Pacific regional director，
Shin Young—So ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o，cited(列举)reports about poor air quality causing lung cancer in recent weeks.
“The WHO is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )skeptical of the information，”she said．“We’re cautious of whether the illness is related
to air po11u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion. We know it has an impact on health，but we don’t know how much．”
The officials didn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t cite particular reports．The comments follow a number of articles since late

The health impa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ct of Beijing’s gray skies has been on the minds of many over the past week。Local

known as PM2.5 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )carry significant short-and long-term health risks，particularly with children．Other
studies find a certain link between pollution and shorter life spans。
Chinese state media ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) have noted a rise in cancer levels in Beijing,without specifying(具体说明)
whether the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )new cases are the main result of pollution,smoking,other sources or some combination．

solving the problem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )requires managing industry and the economy．WHO leaders advised citizens．to

any proven efficacy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in preventing health effects of air pollution，Dr. Schwartlainder said，“Whatever

1．解析： 考查交际用语。A项是表示 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )感谢的回答语，B项是请求对方帮助的回答语，D项是道歉的回答语，都不符合题意。C项表示“coffee please”，与本题情景相符。
答案： C
2．解析： 考查冠词的用法。句意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为：www.是一个很受欢迎的网站，它里面有一个配有清晰讲解的饮食节目。根据语意可知，本题中的两空都表示泛指，因此都用不定冠词。
答案： C
3．解析： 根据空后面的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“minor subject”可知，空处表示“主修的”，故选major。main主要的；chief首要的；primary最初的，基本的。
答案： B
4．解析： 考查非谓语动词。句意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )：在北京师范大学度过一段时间之后，我对其师生的素质印象颇深。spend这一动作发生在主句谓语动作之前，且该动作是由主句的主语发出的，故用现在分词的完成式。
答案： A
5．解析： 此处way作先行词，定语从句中缺少状语，可以用that或in which引导，亦可省去引导词。
答案： D
6．解析： 句意为：律师建议 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Tom放弃这场官司，因为他赢的可能性很小。affair事务，事情；case诉讼案，官司；incident严重事件，冲突；event重要事情，大事。

答案： C

答案： A
9．解析： 考查介词短语辨析。句意为：他 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一点都不笨，事实上，他是我见过的最聪明的男孩子。A项意为“此外，而且”；B项意为“事实上，实际上”；C项意为“特别，尤其”；D项意为“总之”。
答案： B
10．解析： 考查固定句型。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )答句可知，后者赞同前者的话。“so＋主语＋助动词”结构意为“的确如此”，符合语境，故排除B、C两项；此处强调的是发生在过去的客观事实，因此应用so he was。“so＋助动词＋主语”结构指上文提到的情况同样也适用于后者，不符合语境。
答案： D
11．解析： 考查动词辨析。句意为：当 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )我们到达山顶的时候，壮丽的海景映入眼帘。acknowledge承认；interrupt打断；display陈列；greet映入……的眼帘。
答案： D
12．解析： 考查非谓语动 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )词。分析句子成分可知，主语The old couple和live之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且句中有表示一段时间的时间状语for years，因此用live的现在分词的完成式。
答案： C
13．解析： 考查虚拟语气。句意为：我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知道发生这样的事情是正常的，但如果我们更小心一点儿的话，这样的事是可以避免的。根据句中的“if we’d been more careful”可知，此处表示与过去事实相反的假设，故用could/might/would have done结构。
答案： B
14．解析： 考查动词词义辨 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )析。句意为：父母当然会尽其所能来保护他们的孩子免受伤害。defend保护，保卫；convince使相信；overcome克服；reduce减少。
答案： A
15．解析： 考查并列连词。句意为：俗语说，诚实是一种美德，而贪婪是一种罪恶。while而，然而，根据句意可知，前后应为对比关系，故选A。
答案： A
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Grown- ups are oft ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usua ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearnin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown- ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
2. The author explains the law of overlearning by .
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison D. using examples
3. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the author, being able to use multiplication tables is .
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
4. What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A. It leads to failur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C. It’s possible to re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sult in poor memory. D. It increases students’learning interest.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.
An increase in sea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives—a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean—virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.
President Mohamed Nash ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a conference centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course.
“It is still e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arly stages and we are awaiting a report on the practicality,” a government official who declined to be named said.
The company, Dutc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.
The Maldives ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )began to work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change.
Nasheed, who stage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s serious and difficult situation, has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are completed covered.
He has also promised to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks.
1. Why do you think Mohamed Nasheed chose Dutch Docklands
A. Because it has experience in building floating structure.
B. Because it has a good fame throughout the world.
C. Because it charged much less than other companies.
D. Because it supports building floating structures in the world.
2. The Hulhumale was built with the purpose of .
A. attracting more visitors B. making it a new capital
C. making the c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )apital less crowded D. fighting against climate change
3. According to the last two paragraphs, Nasheed is a person who .
A. has succeeded in buying land abroad B. is more than well-known
C. has thought mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re for his nation D. has stopped using fossil fuel
4. The underlined word “vowed” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by .
A. ended B. promised C. failed D. weighed

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
You’ve probably ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seen athletes who take their own successes too seriously. They celebrate a goal with a very long victory dance or continually talk big about their abilities. This is the exact opposite of (33)______ sportsmanship is all about.
Everyone feels great ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport（有运动家品格的人）when you have won a game as when you have lost one. Sportsmanship takes courage — when you work really hard at a sport, it’s not easy (34)______(admit) you made a bad play or someone has more skills than you. In competition — as in life — you may not always win but you can learn (35)______ from losing, too.
It’s pretty tough ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to lose, so it is definitely annoying if someone continues making fun of you or your team (36)______ the competition is over. Sometimes it’s hard to swallow your pride and walk on. But there’s always the next match.
When you do lose—an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d it will happen—lose with class（风度）. (37)______(be) proud of how you performed, or at least realizing things you need to improve for next time, is the key. When it comes to losing, sportsmanship means congratulating the winners willingly. Also, it means accepting the game result without complaint and without excuses, (38)______ ______ you sometimes might doubt the referees（裁判员）made some questionable calls.
When you win, the goo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d way is to be a polite and generous winner. Sportsmanship means admitting victories (39)______ putting your opponents to shame and letting victories speak for themselves, that is, being quietly proud of success. Despite the fact (40)______ you have a massive win, sportsmanship means still finding ways to praise your opponents.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
For five days, Ed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )monton’s Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness (友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone’s musical interests.
With so many year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )usic Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.
1. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to .
A. gather people with different musical tastes
B. remind people of the real sense of folk music
C. exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk music
D. collect old stories of folk music
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

B. It’s hard for people to appreciate Blues.
C. It costs peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a little to fill up their cups from water stations.
D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food.
3. We can learn from the passage that .
A. people can get tickets easily for the festival
B. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is well organized
C. driving one’s own car to the festival is highly recommended
D. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday
4. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Folk Music of Blues B. One Festival for All
C. Festival for Family Gathering D. Edmonton’s Downtown Park

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
Rainforest i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land—in addition to millions of people who depend on them for survival—our remaining ancient forests are some of the most diverse ecosystems known to science. They are also vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate. But ancient forests around the world are under attack.
Protecting rainfores ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts is on the global agenda (议事日程) in a big way. Governments now recognize the importance of protecting tropical forests in order to avoid dangerous climate change, and there is now much debate. As governments try to thrash out the details of a new international agreement, expected to be signed at the end of 2009, they are discussing how best to include measures to save rainforests, and therefore address one of the major causes of climate change. Worldwide, forest destruction causes more greenhouse gas emissions (排放) each year than do all the trains, planes and cars on the planet. So if we are to deal with global warming, there is an urgent need to find ways to reduce the 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest destruction each year, and to keep the remaining forests standing.
We need to protect th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e planet’s remaining forests not only to stop climate change from getting worse, but to ensure that we can stand the impacts of global warming. Healthy forests absorb and store quantities of carbon, helping to regulate temperature and generate rain. When they are destroyed, this carbon is released into the atmosphere. Thus keeping forests standing is both a critical part of regulating climate change and of adapting to a warmer world.
To date, most of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) talk has focused on how to pay for reducing deforestation (滥伐森林), rather than on how to actually go about doing it. We believe governments need to support local people to protect their environment, as we have been showing for 20 years can be a very effective way of saving rainforests.
1. The best title for the passage is .
A. Rainforest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and Climate Change B. Strategies on Protecting Rainforest
C. Serious De ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )forestation to Rainforest D. Present Situation of Rainforest
2. From the first paragraph we can infer that .
A. we have little rainforest left until now
B. the ancient forests are being destroyed
C. rainforest control the planet in many ways
D. Rainforest is home to all plants and animals on earth
3. The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined part “thrash out” in the second paragraph means .
A. try to understand B. come up with
C. hide away D. have a thorough discussion
4. Greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest destruction .
A. are the same amount by transport on earth
B. take 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions
C. can be avoided by setting measures only
D. have nothing to do with climate change
5. From the text we can learn that healthy forest .
A. can keep us healthy and happy

When I decided to qui ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experience ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.

68.that 考查同位语从句。that引导同位语从句，仅起引导作用，无任何含义。
69.on 考查动词短语。put on穿上。
70.them 考查代词。them代指前文的shoes。
71.for/because of 考查介词。for表示原因，detain sb for sth因为某事而扣留某人。
72.privately 考查副词。副词修饰动词say。
73.to be put 考查不定式的被动式。句子的主语是put的动作承受者，故用不定式的被动式，也可用putting。
74.their 考查代词。名词situation前缺少形容词性物主代词作定语，与前面和后面的their相对应。

1．解析： 考查交际用语。句意为： ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )——实在是太感谢你那天送我的生日礼物了。——不用客气。That’s right没错；Don’t mention it不客气；With pleasure(客气地接受或同意)当然了，很愿意，Nice work干得好，故答案为B。

答案： B
4．解析： 考查情态动词。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句意为：——这封信是你母亲寄来的吧？——是的。但这封信不可能是她自己写的，因为她一个字也不认识。根据because引导的原因状语从句可知，此处应用can’t have done表示对过去发生的事很有把握的否定推测。
答案： B
5．解析： 句意为：在选专业之前你最好考虑你的优缺点。strength强项，优势，符合句意。
答案： A
6．解析： 句意为：——你搬进新家了吗 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )？——没呢。我没时间置办家具。get sth.done表示“使(某事)发生，使完成(某事)”，故选furnished。
答案： B

答案： C
10．解析： 考查固定用法。句意 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为：她不能帮忙打扫房间，因为她正在厨房忙着做蛋糕。help (to) do sth.帮忙做某事，是固定短语，符合句意。注意：此处不是can’t help doing sth.“禁不住做某事”这个固定词组。
答案： A
11．解析： 考查时态。句意为：我以为老 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )师会就我们的考试结果说些什么，但是他提都没提。根据句意可知，此处表示的是发生在过去的一件事情，因此用一般过去时。
答案： D
12．解析： 考查交际用语。句意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )：——这个周末你打算做什么？——看情况，如果时间允许，我可能会和朋友一起去上海。根据答语中的“ I may go to Shanghai”可知，答话人只是有去上海的可能，也有可能不去，所以不太肯定，故选D。

答案： A
15．解析： 句意为：积极的态度、 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )乐意争取适当的外援和锻炼稳定的学习习惯合并起来定将决定你的学习成绩。本题考查动词辨析。根据句意，可首先排除conclude(结束，做结论)和conduct(引导，管理，指挥)。combine合并；connect联合，联系。本句中强调将attitude，willingness及exercising合并(as a whole)，并非简单的联系，故答案为B项。

A Mountain of Green Beans
Another envelope in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he mail. There’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing.
The envelopes we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and … statement of purpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.
The pile scar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es me — it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.
“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.
“Honey, you just ta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.
When I was a little ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.
My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.
“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”
She said all I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.
My grandma doesn’t kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.
Back in my room, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans
1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.
doesn’t know how to reply
feels bored of the paper work
doesn’t want to attend college
has been too busy to open them
2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans
A. A good start is half done.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A long journey begins with a single step.
D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
3. What do you think the author will do next

C. He will throw away all the envelopes.
D. He will eat up the green beans.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Have you ever look ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed toward the sky on a fall day and witnessed a group of migrating birds If so, you probably noted the V-shaped formation of the birds or the birds flying in a ball-like formation. Why do birds fly this way Many theories have been developed to explain the formation patterns of different types of birds.
One theory ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is that birds fly in certain formations to take advantage of the laws of nature. The birds know that flying in a V-shaped pattern will save energy. Like the lead cyclist in a race who decreases wind force for the cyclists who follow, the lead bird cuts wind force for the birds that follow. This decrease in wind force means that the birds use up to 70 percent less energy during their flight. When the lead bird becomes tired, a more rested bird takes over that position.
But saving e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nergy is important for more than one reason. Sometimes food is short during migration flights. Keeping energy enables the birds to fly longer distances between meals.
When food is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sighted, the birds guide one another in a different way. When a bird identifies a familiar feeding area, it might turn around in order to signal the group to change direction. Then, this bird becomes the new leader. It helps guarantee that other birds will know exactly where it is going. Then the whole group makes a change in direction, gently streaming from the sky down to the ground. This formation is like an arrow pointing to the location of food.
Scientists have als ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o studied the birds that sometimes fly in a ball-like formation. Researchers believe that the birds come together if a predator（天敌） is spotted. The predator may then become impatient waiting for a single bird to fly away from the group. The birds will often dip and dive as a group, frustrating even the most persistent enemy. Scientists report that this is a very effective method of defense against an attack.
The birds care for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) their fellow fliers through teamwork. As transportation expert Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” When it comes to teamwork, these feathered fliers are a soaring success!
1. According to the passage, we can learn that birds ___________.
A. move faster than cyclists
B. prefer to fly in a V formation
C. are smarter than other animals
D. play different roles in a formation
2. When food is sighted, ____________.
A. the group follows the discoverer
B. the lead bird decides what to do
C. the discoverer leaves the group
D. the whole group forms a stream
3. To protect themselves from attack, birds will _____________ .
A. break into groups B. come close together
C. change directions D. fly up and down
4. Which is the best title for the passage
A. A Bird’s-Eye View of Teamwork.
B. Success Takes Care of Itself.
C. The Strongest Will Survive.
D. A Science Behind Flying.
