He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, Drink your juice. Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom Why doesnt Dad love me? Mom frowned, Who said he doesnt love you? Well, he never tells me, I complained. He never tells me either, she said, smiling. But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. Thats how your father tells us he loves us. I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad fed scrap steel into a machine which looked like a giant pair of scissors with blades thicker than my fathers body. If he didnt feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. Why dont you hire someone to do that for you? Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders . Why dont you hire a cook? Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles. Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, I love you, Dad. From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.24.The authors father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because _.A.that was the authors favoriteB.that was a gesture of loveC.the author was always complainingD.he was sure the author would be thirsty25.The authors father didnt hire a helper because _.A.his job was too dangerousB.his job required high skillsC.he was not good at communicating with othersD.he wanted to save money26.We may infer from the passage that _.A.the author quite understood his father as time went onB.the authors father lacked a sense of humorC.the authors father didnt love him very muchD.the authors father was too strict with him27.What would be the best title for the passage?A.I just couldnt understand my father B.Silent fatherly loveC.My father never loved me D.My hard-working fatherCYou cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said. The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.28.What do we know from Belyacvs words in Paragraph 2?A.His creation was inspired by an experience.B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.29.Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A.motorcanopysensors B.sensorsmotorcanopyC.motorsensorscanopy D.canopymotorsensors30.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A.Its moving speed. B.Its appearance.C.Its installation. D.Its safety.31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.DBlowing bubbles is fun! The best thing about bubbles is that its easy to make your own bubble solution(溶液). You can make as much as you want and blow as many bubbles as youd like. If you add a secret ingredient(配料), youll get bigger and stronger bubbles! Do just as follows: Measure 6 cups of water into one container, then pour 1 cup of dish soap into the water and slowly stir it until the soap is mixed in. Try not to let bubbles form while you stir.Measure 1 tablespoon of glycerin(甘油) or 1/4 cup of corn syrup(玉米淀粉) and add it to the container. Stir the solution until it is mixed together. You can use the solution right away, but to make even better bubbles, put the lid on the container and let your super bubble solution sit overnight. The soap mixture on the outside of a bubble is actually made of three very thin layers: soap, water, and another layer of soap. A bubble pops when the water that is trapped between the layers of soap evaporates(蒸发). The glycerin or corn syrup mixes with the soap to make it thicker. The thicker skin of the bubbles keeps the water from evaporating quickly, so they last longer. It also makes them stronger, so you can blow bigger bubbles. Dip a bubble wand(魔杖,嫩枝) or straw into the mixture, slowly pull it out, wait a few seconds, and then blow. If you dont have a ready-made bubble wand, you can make your own by cutting off the end of the bulb of a plastic pipet(球形管). Dip the cut end in solution and blow through the narrow end. You can also make a loop out of thin wire or pipe cleaner. Just twist a round end on your wire to blow the bubbles through. You can even make it heart-shaped, square or use other shapes if youre clever enough to bend it well.32.For what purpose is the text is written?A.To argue. B.To advertise. C.To entertain. D.To instruct.33.What does the secret in making bigger and stronger bubbles lies in?A.The soap. B.The corn syrup. C.The water. D.The straw.34.What can you use a bubble wand to do?A.Blow bubbles. B.Mix the solution. C.Measure soap. D.Shape wires.35.What can we infer from paragraph 3?A.More soap, more bubbles. B.Less water, better bubbles.C.Thicker layers, bigger bubbles. D.Stronger skin, bigger bubbles.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。How to Improve Speed Reading Skills Speed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. 36 Look at groups of words,not single words. 37However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks of words at one time, then you can read much faster. Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of words. Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as “A, the, and, etc.” Scan for keywords. Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for-a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word-you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find 38. The information you are looking for should pop out at you. 39 You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. 40.Do not count the words, just the pages or paragraphs. Record your figures: for instance, you might write “15min/6.5 pages.”A. Race the clockB. Check your comprehensionC. Then, run your eyes rapidly over the textD. Here are some Speed Reading TechniquesE. When the timer goes off, check to see how far you have gotF. If you read a text one word at a time, then this will slow your reading speed way downG. One of the reasons you read slowly is that you have to pause sometimes to understand what a passage is saying第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Ten philosophers were imprisoned together in one cell (小牢房). They decided that somehow they should _41_. They sat and made a big plan. They made a duplicate (复制的)key of the prison door key. Finally, they chose the date of the escape. The whole plan was clearly _42_. They decided that on the particular night, two of them would open the prison door with the duplicate key and _43_ to the others. The others would escape and these two would follow after _44_ the door behind them.The _45_ of escape arrived and two of them went to open the door. The rest of them waited and waited but never got any signal. Three hours _46_. Suddenly, the two who had gone to open the door came back and said, “We have to _47_ escaping. It cant happen today. We will have to do it some other day.” The others _48_, “Why, what happened?” They replied, “What could we do? The careless guards _49_ to lock the prison door!”Those who philosophize can not think of anything _50_! It has to be the same old _51_ setup. If there is some change or some new _52_ , they can not think _53_ to deal with it, because they are not _54_. They are like a _55_ circuit(电路). We have also become like philosophers when dealing with our lives. We are stuck in _56_ of the past. We are _57_ in the moment. If anything new happens, we are _58_.So, what should we do? _59_ everything, consider each other as equals and be open to _60_. If you are open and available, your are no more a philosopher. You are ready to open up to life with love.41.A.surviveB.complainC.waitD.escape42.A.laid outB.brought inC.carried outD.stuck to43.A.showB.smileC.signalD.whisper44.A.lockingB.carryingC.breakingD.pushing45.A.chanceB.dayC.ideaD.way46.A.killedB.wastedC.restedD.passed47.A.aimB.quitC.planD.stay48.A.shoutedB.thoughtC.askedD.explained49.A.preparedB.stayedC.forgotD.meant50.A.newB.simpleC.usefulD.possible51.A.specialB.mentalC.carefulD.popular52.A.lifeB.directionC.situationD.effect53.A.immediatelyB.fortunatelyC.willinglyD.creatively54.A.openB.generousC.optimisticD.hopeful55.A.c
