The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else. The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber. Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage. The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.1. The main purpose of the passage is _.A. to show us a future way of recycling wastes B. to tell the importance of recycling wastesC. to warn people the danger of some wastes D. to introduce a new recycling plant2. How many stages are there in the recycling process?A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.3. What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A. To deal with wastes in a better way. B. Its a good way to gain profits.C. Its more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D. Energy can be got at a lower price. 4. The first full-scale huge recycling plants _.A. have been in existence for 15 years B. takes 15 years to buildC. cant be built until 15 years later D. will remain functioning for 15 years B In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！ I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the middle of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.5 When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be _.A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor6Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness. D. She decided to look after her grandma.7What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life. B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife. D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.8 What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done. C Decision-thinking is not unlike pokerit often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think what you think they think you think. The mental proces is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers. The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular, he showed that all games fall into two classes; there are what he called games of perfect information, games like chess where the players cant hide anything or play tricks; they dont win by chance, but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of imperfect information, like poker, in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another. One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse Business, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), best poker players. But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker.9The subject discussed in this text is _.A. the process of reaching decisions B. the difference between poker and chess.C. the secret of making good business plans D. the value of information in winning games10An important factor in a game of imperfect information is _.A. rules B. luck C. time D. ideas11Which of the following can be used in place of Quite the reverse in paragraph 3?A. Quite right. B. True enough. C. Most unlikely. D. Just the opposite.12In the writers opinion, when making business decisions one should _ .A. put perfect information before imperfect information B. accept the existence of unknown factorsC. regard business as a game of chess D. mix known and unknown factors D There are two methods by which hydrogen (氢) can be used to power cars. The first way is to use hydrogen to drive the engine, in much the same way as many cars use gas. The second method is to use the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen in a battery, making the car a kind of electric one. The dream of producing hydrogen in the car while driving along by electrolyzing （电解）water is a long way off, so we are still at the period of batteries and filling the tank with hydrogen gas. This is the difficulty for potential car users and producers. There are only sixteen hydrogen filling stations in Los Angeles and none in 99% of other cities worldwide. Indeed, some of the big name automobile producers have pulled out of the race to put the first practical hydrogen car on the streets. Ford and GM have announced that they are pulling out in America and so has Renault in France. However, the Japanese companies are pressing on. In fact, Honda introduced its first hydrogen fuel cell car in 1999. They are now producing second generation hydrogen car known as the FCX Clarity. Guess where they are available for sale? In only one city because of its filling stations. Honda thinks that they could go into full-scale production of the FCX Clarity by 2020 if the world is prepared for them by then. Then there are hydrogen-powered buses in several European cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, London, Luxembourg and Madrid. Lotus, the makers of London taxis, have announced that they propose to manufacture hydrogen-powered taxis in time for the London Olympics. So, the hydrogen vehicle is out there and the numbers will be growing fairly soon. The buses go back to their bus station, where an electrolyzing machine changes water into fuel for them to fill up on and the same will be the case for many of Londons taxis. Unfortunately, getting fuel is not the only difficulty for the average motorist, a number of these vehicles cost about $300,000 each.13According to the text, hydrogen-powered buses _. A. can easily be filled up with gas. B. are likely to sell well in the future. C. are mainly used in the United States D. wont be used in the London Olympics14What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Japanese companies B. Hydrogen buses C. The FCX Clarity D. Filling stations15We can learn from the text that _. A. there are sixty hydrogen filling stations all over the world B. hydrogen vehicles fueled by water will be very expensive C. Honda will mass-produce the FCX Clarity by 2012 D. Honda produced its first hydrogen car in 1989阅读理解 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As is known to all, nothing is more important than health.

For example, if two pieces of advice 2 (give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from 3 old friend, people always tend to 4 (adoption) the latter one, although the new friends advice may be better. 5 (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not 6 (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the length of time cannot determine whether your friendship is better or not. Once you call someone friend, he must be a person who is 7 (rely) and whose interests are in common with 8 (you). As time goes by, a friends outside look may change, but the inside characters of him and his interests 9 (change).It is just these unchangeable characters and interests 10 make him a friend to you. Therefore, on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new friends.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号( )，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用()划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。Nowadays Senior 3 students are general faced with a lot of pressure, which is rather common.
