Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take direct action, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) . Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say. We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an acceptable report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.1We can learn from the first paragraph that_.A. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesB. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC. energy policy catches much attention of the publicD. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents2Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_.A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based powerB. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generationC. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear powerD. guarantees an increase in energy output3It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. an official report will settle the energy problemB. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farmsC. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationD. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts4Which of the following reflects the authors opinion?A. Increase political impact on energy policy.B. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.D. Release a statement of supporters on wind farm. A new study finds that young females in one group of African chimps(黑猩猩) use sticks as dolls more than their male peers (同龄) do, often treating pieces of wood like a mother chimp caring for a baby. In human cultures around the world, girls play with dolls and pretend that the toys are babies far more than boys do.Chimp observations, collected over 14 years of field work with the Kanyawara chimp community in Kibale National Park in Ugandan, provide the first evidence of a nonhuman animal in the wild that exhibits sex differences in how it plays. This finding supports an argument that biology as well as society underlies boys and girls different toy preferences.Stick play occurred most commonly between ages 3 and 9. Females spent a lot more time carrying sticks than males did. Young male chimps occasionally used sticks to mimic(模仿) childcare. “Far more often, they fought with sticks, an infrequent behavior among females,” say Sonya Kahlenberg of Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, and Richard Wrangham of Harvard University.“Biological differences between the sexes make female chimps more receptive to stick-mothering than males,” says Wrangham.Consistent with reported cultural traditions among adult chimps, Kanyawara youngsters learned from each other to play with sticks as if caring for babies. Stick play among young chimps showed no evidence of being directly influenced by older chimps. Child-bearing females never played with sticks and thus didnt model such behavior for younger chimps.Young females carried sticks for anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. They often rested in nests with their sticks, sometimes playing with them much as chimp mothers play with their babies though they didnt get any form of teaching from the adults.5What does a stick seem like to a young female chimp who plays with it?A. A doll. B. A mother. C. A baby. D. A toy.6We can see from the text that young female chimps _.A. often carry sticks with males B. always carry sticks with malesC. never use sticks in fighting D. seldom use sticks in fighting7From whom do the young chimps pick up the stick play behavior?A. From each other. B. From older chimps.C. From their mothers. D. From male chimps.8What does the text mainly tell us about young chimps stick play?A. The types of stick play and social influence.B. The sex differences and social influence.C. The sex differences and age differences.D. The ways of stick play and age differences. Some secrets are hidden from health, wrote John Updike in his poem Fever. I have experienced the truth of Updikes observation. My excellent health kept me from seeing some thingsthings that became secrets of sort.One relates to my son Chris. When I lost my health in March, I discovered something I had missed about him.Christopher has been a scholar and athlete through high school. He has behaved responsibly, engaged in community service. He has had an impressive peer group of serious students.While I saw these things, I had missed before what I experienced while in hospital. Early on, Christopher offered the clearest and most forceful words about my need to be positive and to fight acute leukemia(急性白血病). He never left the room after a visit without making me promise that I would be mentally tough and positive.During the first week, he showed his own mental toughness, researching leukemia and learning what the chances were. He even stopped my doctor outside the room, introduced himself and asked directly what he thought of my chances. He processed the answer without overreaction.Christopher did admonish(劝告) me against my choice of words the first week at home. I had moved back into my room from weighing myself, discovering a thin figure I did not know. I announced to him and my wife, “dead man walking”. I thought it was a way to lighten the obvious. He saw it as negativity and was strongly against such thinking and talking.When I resisted taking medicine sometimes, Christopher formed a “good-cop-bad-cop” team with his mother. Betsy gently and patiently encouraged. He directly and forcefully insisted. He always made the logical arguments for why I needed to take some awful pills.My health had hidden something from me; my ill-health helped me to see it.9The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 indicates that the author _.A. got to know more about his son while in hospitalB. knew little about his son until in hospitalC. had no chance of knowing more about his sonD. hardly remembers what happened in the hospital10What did Christopher do when the author was in hospital?A. He told the author not to say anything wrong.B. He offered some suggestions to the doctor.C. He always encouraged the author to be confident.D. He tried to get help from community service.11What does “good-cop-bad-cop” in the text refer to?A. A trick to force the author to obey.B. A measure to keep the author happy.C. A friendly way to make the author see what was good for him.D. A joint effort to persuade the author both kindly and forcefully.12What may be the best title for the text?A. Lessons from Ill-health B. Unexpected LoveC. Secrets Hidden from Health D. Discovery Made in Hospital We were told for years that positive thinking was the key to achieving our goals. Now more and more evidence suggests exactly the opposite: that spending a lot of time thinking about your hopes and dreams may make you less likely to put in the work required to actually achieve those dreams. So if positivity is out, what should we replace it with?New York University psychologist Gabriele Oettingen talked about a four-step plan shes come up with from her years of research. Oettigen explained the plan as WOOP.Wish: First, define your goal. “Think about a wish that is dear to you,” Oettingen said. “What is it you really want? This could be running a marathon or losing a certain amount of weight.” Your wish doesnt have to be huge; it just has to be real, something you truly want.Outcome: Keeping your goal in mind, ask yourself: If this wish of mine is realized, what is the best possible outcome? “Very often, it is a feeling,” Oettingen said, “You define that outcome, and you imagine that outcome.”Obstacles (障碍): After youre let yourself daydream for a little while about what it will feel like when your goal is accomplished, bring your mind back down to reality. “Then you sat, What is it in me that holds me back from experiencing that wish, that outcome?” Oettinger said. “Very often its an emotion, its those same old habits. And you imagine that obstacle.”Plan: “Once youre imagined that obstacle,” Oettingen said, “youll understand what you need to do to overcome it.” If this obstacle pops up, then youll do something to get over it and keep going after your goal.Oettingens research has shown that this method has helped people eat more fruits and vegetables; its also helped students achieve better grades in school, and it has even helped people act less insecure in their romantic relationships.13In the traditional opinion, what is the key to achieving our goals?A. Positive thinking. B. Enough evidence.C. Opposite suggestions. D. Replacement of positivity.14The word “reality” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to the fact that _.A. you have imagined more than you can doB. you are held back by some obstacles to achieveC. you have never experienced such a wish or outcomeD. your emotion contributes to forming your same old habits15The examples in the last paragraph are used to _.A. prove WOOPs effectivenessB. encourage readers to be positiveC. offer more possible practical outcomesD. attract more people to apply this method16The method WOOP works mainly because you _.A. have a strong wish B. keep a goal in mindC. come up with a plan D. overcome an obstacle 二、完形填空An old man was dying.

What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt (雕刻）our life. The tool doesnt come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 38 The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 39 We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.40 And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isnt necessary to win to enjoy the game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess game. 41A.But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.B.Make the best moves you can under the circumstances.C.Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get.D.Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.E.Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to.F.You have to make choices every day.G.It is free will or choice. 四、短文改错42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，每句中最多两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在此处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出修改的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在其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11处起）不计分。 Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student at a ordinaryschool.

I decided to make the best it. I worked hard and got along good with my teachers andclassmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they are always available.
