Jamie Oliver, a lively British guy, loves to share his secrets. In his first television show, The Naked Chef, Oliver taught everyone to make simple but delicious food. In Jamie's Kitchen, he taught young people how to prepare meals. His next show, Jamie's School Dinners, is about changing the food that students eat.
Oliver saw that some schools in Britain were serving junk food — food that is easy to eat but unhealthy. Although it can be delicious, junk food is not very good for children. It is sometimes bad for their health, because it doesn't give them the energy they need at school. They sometimes can't think well or feel down, and they sometimes put on weight.
Some of the junk food that Oliver wants to change is canned spaghetti, chicken nuggets, French fries, soda, and muffins. He encourages schools to serve fresh and healthy meats, vegetables, and fruits. He helps the school cooks to make healthy dinners without junk food.
People liked Oliver's idea of bringing quality food to schools. Thousands enjoyed his television show. But Oliver wanted them to do more than just watch. At his Feed Me Better website, he collected over 270,000 signatures (签名) from people. Oliver sent these signatures to British Prime Minister (首相) Tony Blair. Then Blair promised to help change the school kitchens, teach school cooks to make healthy food, and spend more on school dinners. Thanks to Jamie Oliver, my children will be able to enjoy more healthy meals at school.
21. What are Jamie Oliver's secrets about?
A. Cooking and eating. B. How to be a good cook.
C. Exercising and sleeping. D. Where to buy healthy food.
22. Which of the following may Oliver like best?
A. Muffins. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?B. Bananas.?
C. French fries.????? ? D. Chicken nuggets.
23. Why were over 270,000 signatures collected?
A. To put healthy food in schools.
B. To keep school kitchens cleaner.
C. To lower food prices in schools.
D. To collect money for poor children.
24. Who might be the author of the text?

The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
The Hawaii Volcanoes (火山) National Park, on the island of Hawaii, has two active volcanoes: Mauna Loa, which last erupted (喷发) in 1984, is 13,677 feet (4.17 km) above sea level; Kilauea is next to Mauna Loa and it has been erupting since January 3rd, 1983. It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level.
When to visit
The park is open 24 hours a day all year round. There are no plants or trees on the lava (火山岩) fields and no protection from the sun, so you must bring sunscreen (防晒霜).
How to get there
The best way to get to the park is to take Highway 11. From the airport at Hilo, Highway 11 will take you southward across the eastern part of the island.
Things to see
If you want to know more about the park, the Kilauea Visitor Center is surely a stop to make. It is a quarter of a mile (402 m) from the park entrance. There, you can see a great movie about real lava and learn about the island's natural and cultural history. The center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are also many guided walks and hikes (徒步旅行) around the park. You must check weather conditions and volcanic activity before hiking alone. If possible, you may drive down Chain of Craters Road to see lava flowing into the ocean.
Tickets
Entrance to the park is $10.00 for each vehicle, $5.00 for those who travel on foot or ride a bicycle. Children under the age of 15 are free.
25. Different from Mauna Loa, Kilauea _____.
A. will disappear soon B. is closed to visitors
C. erupts more often D. is much bigger
26. The Kilauea Visitor Center _____.
A. offers all kinds of movies B. is next to the park entrance
C. is open for 8 hours every day D. introduces visitors to the park
27. If a family of three drives a car into the park, they need to pay _____.
A. $5.00???????? ?????????B. $10.00????? C. $15.00 ? ? ? ? ? ? D. $20.00
28. The text is most probably taken from _____.
A. a geography textbook B. a newspaper report
C. a travel magazine D. a research paper
C
A group of scientists in the Netherlands recently used high-tech methods to examine a secret hidden inside an ancient Chinese statue (雕像). It was sent to the Drents Museum in the northeastern Netherlands as part of an exhibit. But while working on the statue, researchers took the chance to study the body of a Buddhist monk (佛僧) inside it.
The statue was shipped to a medical center for CT scans, which are tests that produce X-ray pictures. Scientists used the technology to find out the statue's hidden secrets. The body of the monk was sitting on top of a roll of cloth marked with Chinese characters (字). The cloth shows that the monk was named Liuquan and lived around the year 1100.
“On the outside, it looked like a large statue of Buddha,” said Vincent van Vilsteren from the Drents Museum. “What flabbergasted me was that, on the inside, it was the mummy (干尸) of a Buddhist monk. Later we learned that for the first 200 years, the mummy was probably placed in a Buddhist temple. Only in the 14th century did they do all the work to move it into a nice statue.”
Researchers at the Drents Museum still have a lot of questions about the mummy. It is believed to be the only Chinese Buddhist mummy that has been studied outside Asia. Scientists hope that DNA testing on the mummy will help them learn more about it. Further research may dig up more information about the monk in the months to come.
29. What is special about the statue?
A. Something unusual is in it.
B. It is a modern Chinese statue.
C. It is made of different kinds of material.
D. Strange characters can be seen on its surface.
30. Research showed that the monk _____.
A. died of a terrible disease
B. lived around the 12th century
C. sat on an ancient Chinese book
D. was burned right after his death
31. The underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.
A. disturbed??????? ?????????B. satisfied?????? C. surprised??????? ????????D. saved
32. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ancient Chinese statues. B. The Drents Museum.
C. Buddhism in China. D. A mummified monk.
D
When we go on the Internet, we usually need a web address that ends with a suffix (后缀) such as .com, .net, .org, etc. Did you know that since 1984 only 22 suffixes have been used on the World Wide Web? Now more such suffixes are going to be available. Government bodies, cities, companies, or even a single person will be able to get any suffix they want as long as they'd like to pay $185,000 for it.
A generic top level domain (gTLD) is the suffix on the right of the domain name (域名). Extensions now include .net, .org, .biz, .name, .tv, etc., as well as country level domains ?such as .us for the US, .in for India, and so on. They were designed to show different kinds of website: .biz for business use, .org for non-profit (非营利性的) organizations, etc.
Think of the web address like the name of a person. In the case of www.baidu.com, the suffix “.com” is similar to the last name of a person — of which there are only 22 choices now. The prefix “baidu” is like the first name of a person — which can be taken according to availability. ?These changes will let you choose not only the first name but also a last name for your website.
As you can see, DNS (Domain Name System) is very important for directing the traffic for business over the Internet. Having the right domain name is important for building brands (品牌) and competing better in the marketplace. The new rules could mean more chances for e-business.
However, gTLDs can mean more costs for companies. Besides protecting their brand, companies may have to deal with cyber squatting — this is when people have some domain names recorded formally with the purpose of selling them at a higher price.
33. Which of the following is TRUE of domain names?
A. They are becoming less and less important.
B. Users won't need to pay for these names.
C. There will be more gTLDs for people to choose from.
D. Suffixes like .com and .net have a history of 50 years.
34. In the last paragraph, the author expresses his _____.
A. worry ? ? ? ??B. doubt????? C. excitement?????? ????????? D. politeness
35. The purpose of the text is to _____.
A. explain what a gTLD is
B. talk about new changes to gTLDs
C. introduce the history of the Internet
D. show how to deal with cyber squatting

One possible version:
Recently our English Club has had a debate about whether there should be policies on controlling the purchase of private cars in our city.?We had different opinions.
Some people support it. They say nowadays a large number of people own private cars, which has caused many problems, such as air pollution, traffic jams and an increase of energy use. There is no doubt that controlling the number of private cars will reduce these problems.
However, others think differently. They argue that they have the right to buy cars. What's more, if they don't have their own car, it isn't convenient for them to go out, whether for work or travel.
As for me, I agree with the former. In fact, we can use other forms of transport like buses, subways and bicycles.

Fifth-grader Dominic — or Nic, as his friends call him — and the group of friends he’s walking with are from?Oyster-Adams?Bilingual?School?in?Northwest Washington. Together on a “walking school bus,” these kids walk every day to get to school.
“I love walking with my friends to school,” Lizey says. “This way, we have half an hour to hang out before school, and I feel good.”
The walking school bus is an idea to encourage kids to walk to school. So what is a walking school bus, exactly?
“It’s like a car pool (汽车共乘), except we walk,”?says 10-year-old Stanton, who?“rides”?with Nic and Lizey.?“There are different little stops, and the group just keeps getting bigger and bigger with more and more kids the closer we get to school.”
“Walking school buses have many?merits,” says Lizey’s mom, Meri, who started the “bus” that travels 1.3 miles each morning from Woodley Park to Oyster-Adams Bilingual School. The “bus” runs every day unless it’s colder than 25 degrees outside or it rains heavily. Meri says the effort put in setting up what she calls “walk pool” helps parents save time because they take turns checking the walk. It also saves energy and cuts down on neighborhood traffic. Having fewer cars on the road means better air quality. It also provides kids with a chance to exercise and have fun.
But there are rules, such as being on time, staying on the sidewalk and crossing only at green lights and within crosswalks. Nic says another rule is that “your feet should move way faster than your lips.”
“But that doesn’t usually happen,” Ruthie points out, “because Nic’s usually singing.”
24. How does Lizey feel about walking to school?
A. Tired.???? ????????????
B. Bored.?
C. Excited.???? ?????????
D. Disappointed.
25. It turns out that the walking school bus _____.

D. runs in all weathers
26. What does the underlined word “merits” in the text mean?
A. Steps.????? ???????????
B. Skills.????
C. Problems.????
D. Advantages.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A walk to school is fun and good exercise
B. Walking school buses around the world
C. Share the power of walking

What do the following places have in common: the?Serengeti?Desert,?Edinburgh’s?Old?Town?and the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve?
The?Serengeti?Desert?is in?Tanzania?and?Kenya,?Africa. It contains (包含) thousands of kilometers of dry grasslands and many rare kinds of animals.
Edinburgh’s?Old?Town?is in the capital city of?Scotland. It has many old buildings and streets. There are very few new buildings in?Edinburgh’s?Old?Town.
The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is near?Mexico City?in?Mexico. It has beautiful flowers and forests. It is also the home of millions of butterflies in the winter.
These three places are very different. But they are all under special protection by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织). They are World Heritage Sites.
The story of World Heritage Sites begins more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the great king of?Egypt?built many temples. But after thousands of years, sand covered them.
Stories tell of a young boy named?Abu Simbel?who found the temples. One day,?Abu Simbel?saw something under the sand. Soon, the ancient temples of Ramses II were officially rediscovered. But they were not safe. The government of?Egypt?planned to build a dam on the?Nile?River. It would create a large lake, which would cover the temples in water.
Many people did not want the temples destroyed. UNESCO agreed and raised 40 million dollars from around the world to save the temples. From 1964 to 1968, engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the?Nile?River. Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.
The effort to save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success. So in 1972, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Committee, which protects places on the earth that are of great cultural or natural value.
Any country in the world can ask for protection from UNESCO. The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.
28. What’s special about?Edinburgh’s?Old?Town?
A. It has no new buildings.
B. It’s a World Heritage Site.
C. It’s in the capital city of?Scotland.
D. It has the oldest streets in the world.
29. The young boy?Abu Simbel?_____.
A. grew up to be a great engineer
B. took part in building the temples
C. lived in?Egypt?about 3,000 years ago
D. was the first to discover the hidden temples
30. How did people save the temples of Ramses II?
A. By storing their pieces away.
B. By keeping them under the sand.
C. By moving them to a much safer place.
D. By preventing the government building the dam.
31. The last paragraph mainly deals with _____.
A. how a World Heritage Site is chosen
B. why the World Heritage Committee was formed
C. how often the World Heritage Committee works
D. why countries ask for protection from UNESCO

Maru is a popular international star. Every day, millions of people watch his videos on the Internet. But there is something about Maru that may surprise you. He is a cat.
There are many famous Internet cats. Some cats are famous for their videos like Maru. The woman who owns Maru puts new videos on Youtube often. People love to see what Maru is doing. Another famous cat is called “Grumpy Cat”. Grumpy Cat looks as if she is angry all the time and she usually appears in pictures.
Pictures are a popular way cats exist (存在) on the Internet. Some are memes (an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture), like Grumpy Cat. These cat picture memes often include funny words. They use wrong words as if the cat is speaking in a strange form of English.
One of the most famous cat memes is called “I can has cheezburger”. The picture was the first on a website about cat memes. This website is even called “I can has cheezburger”. Ben Huh bought the small website in 2007. And today, it is part of a group of sites. He earns millions of dollars every year managing them.
But why do people on the Internet like cats so much? How can websites like these be successful? Some experts believe that cats amaze us. Often, it is very difficult to train a cat. So, when people see a cat do something amazing, they know it did the trick without training.
Or maybe people just love seeing cats on the Internet because cats are cute. We may never know the answer. But we do know one thing. Cats will be on the Internet for a long time. Matt Smith, who produces videos and pictures for the Internet, explains, “There will always be more cats on the Internet because so many people have cats. That means there is a lot of basic material for meme creation.”
32. What do Maru and Grumpy Cat have in common?
A. They are Internet stars.
B. They seem to be always angry.
C. They belong to the same owner.
D. They usually appear in pictures.

35. What is Matt Smith’s attitude towards the future of cat memes?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
For several years, Paul Watson, a Canadian environmentalist, and his crew (船员) have been very busy with a campaign (运动) every winter to find and stop Japanese ships that hunt whales in the name of research. Watson is the captain of a ship called the Steve Irwin. He and his crew work very hard to save endangered sea creatures. Many kinds of large whale were greatly?depleted?in numbers before an official order to stop commercial whaling was made in 1986. And although some kinds of whale have shown great recovery since then, others like the Northern Right Whale remain seriously endangered.
In February 2009, the sea captain noted, “For twelve hours our ship, the?Steve Irwin, has been on the tail of the Japanese whale killing factory ship the?Nisshin Maru. Every hour has brought us closer to this monstrous killing machine, this industrialized whale-killing place.” The Japanese have continued killing whales over the last 20 years in the name of “scientific” whaling. Watson states that research is not the actual intention. Some say that the whale meat ends up on food store shelves.
Disagreements between the?Steve Irwin?and the whaling ships have resulted in two collisions (碰撞) serious enough to make the headlines. The whaling ships have been accused (控告) of using something illegal that produces loud waves. These made Watson’s crew members feel dizzy and lose their sense of direction and may have caused ear and eye damage. The Japanese whalers also used powerful water cannons (高压水枪) against the Steve Irwin crew. In response, the Japanese have accused the?Steve Irwin?of causing the ships to hit each other.
The behavior of people on both sides of the problem has been dangerous and caused a lot of disagreement. The question that needs to be asked is whether violence against illegal whaling operations is reasonable and right.
1. What keeps Paul Watson busy every winter?
A. Carrying out research on whales.
B. Keeping an eye on Japanese ships.
C. Preventing whales from being caught.
D. Organizing campaigns to protect the environment.
2. What does the underlined word “depleted” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Saved.???? ???????????
B. Sickened.??
C. Recovered.?? ??????
D. Reduced.
3. It turned out that the?Nisshin Maru?_____.
A. intended to hunt whales for meat
B. had met with some sea monsters
C. took whales alive for scientific research
D. was following the?Steve Irwin?all the time
4. What do the collisions show?
A. Laws need to be changed.
B. Both sides are acting outside of the law.?
C. The Japanese are worse than the?Steve Irwin?crew.
D. The?Steve Irwin?crew should act in a non-violent manner.
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. Paul Watson: the great environmentalist.
B. The Japanese whaling ship: the?Nisshin Maru.
C. Canadian?vs?Japanese environmental problems.
D. The anti-whaling efforts of the?Steve Irwin?crew.

If you examined the birth date of every World Cup soccer player, you would find an unusual tendency (倾向): the best soccer players are more likely to have been born earlier in the year than later. If you then examined the European national youth teams that supply many World Cup players, this tendency would be even more noticeable. In recent English teams, for example, half the top teenage soccer players were born in January, February or March.
Professor Anders Ericsson at?Florida?State?University?is trying to answer an important question: when someone is very good at something, what actually makes them good? Early experiments by Ericsson suggested that the best way to learn was a process known as?“deliberate practice (强化训练).”?This is more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it includes setting specific goals, getting immediate feedback (反馈) and concentrating equally on technique and results.
Ericsson and his colleagues therefore began studying expert performers in a wide range of professions. They’ve come to a rather surprising conclusion: practice really does make perfect. What we call?“talent”?is highly overrated (高估), as expert performers are nearly always made, not born. The research also suggests that when it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what you love. People often give up trying to do things they don’t like, telling themselves they simply don’t have the talent. But what they really don’t have is the will to succeed and to put in the deliberate practice that would make them better. Ericsson’s conclusions suggest that students should follow their interests earlier in their schooling to build up experience and receive meaningful feedback.
The ideas of the researchers can explain the question of why so many excellent soccer players are born early in the year. Since youth sports are organised by age group, teams have a cut-off birth date. So the coach will pick the player born in January because he is supposed to be bigger, stronger, more mature (成熟的) than the one born in December. The coach is mistaking maturity for ability but once chosen, those January-born players, year after year, receive the training, the practice, the feedback, which will turn them into the best players. What about those December-born players? They never get a chance.
6. The unusual tendency about the top soccer players is connected to their _____.
A. country????? ????????
B. technique??
C. training team????? ?
D. birth month
7. What did Ericsson want to find out?
A. The meaning of repeating a task.
B. The reason behind one’s success.
C. What “deliberate practice” exactly is.
D. How to make someone good enough.
8. According to the research, _____.
A. a star is made
B. talent doesn’t exist
C. the slow need to start practicing early
D. expert performers aren’t as good as imagined
9. What may Ericsson advise people to do?
A. Set specific goals.??
B. Choose what they love.??
C. Develop a variety of interests.??
D. Try to do a lot of different things.
10. What does the author think of the way the coach picks a player?
A. Completely wrong. ?
B. Quite unusual.
C. A bit unfair.?? ????????
D. Very proper.

One possible version:
Recently our English Club has had a discussion about online shopping.?We had different opinions.
Some people are in favour of online shopping. They think online shopping is very convenient and time-saving. It allows people to buy all kinds of things without leaving their homes. Besides, people can compare prices among different online shops before making decisions.
However, others think differently. They think online shopping isn’t as reliable as traditional shopping. People can’t touch or try the things they want to buy. They may get unsuitable things or even get cheated by receiving goods of poor quality.
In my opinion, online shopping has more advantages than disadvantages. It’s quite convenient and time-saving as long as people think carefully before placing orders.

语法填空：
61. placed。考查过去分词作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，修饰1,000 moai，因place与1,000 moai之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填placed。
62. them。考查代词。设空处指代上文的1,000 moai，且作介词of的宾语，故填them。
63. extremely。考查副词。设空处作状语修饰large，故填extremely。
64. the。考查定冠词。best known是形容词最高级形式，其前应用定冠词限定，故填the。
65. who。考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明Polynesians，且在从句中作主语，故填who。
66. To move。考查不定式作状语的用法。他们（波利尼亚人）使用木雪橇或滚轴的目的是移动石像，故填To move。
67. amazing。考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰theory，表示“令人惊讶的”，故填amazing。
68. that。考查连接词。设空处引导宾语从句，作suggested的宾语，因从句结构和意义均完整，故填that。
69. repairing。考查动词-ing形式作状语的用法。While与设空处构成“连词+分词”结构，因they与repair之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填repairing。
70. was fixed。考查一般过去时的被动语态。the space ship与fix之间是被动关系，且由上下文可知，fix表示的动作发生在过去，故填was fixed。
