Home has beco
11、me more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new
12、year has become very important for me. I do not care about New Years resolutions(愿望)” - living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I dont feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.New Years Eve has become my time to reco
13、nnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had
14、 no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties.
15、 It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.A lot of people feel that New Years Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Years kiss and resolutions create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a
16、night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why cant New Year be about friends?1、What does the underlined word It in Paragraph I probably mean?AFamily.BLiving abroad.CHome.DStaying with
17、friends.2、Why doesnt the author care about New Years resolutions?ANew Years resolutions cannot be reached.BHis lifestyle makes him always ready for change.CIts meaningless to make any big changes in life.DMaking New Years resolutions creates much pressure.3、What does the author try to convey through
18、 his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?ALife is peaceful and enjoyable.BLiving abroad is a happy experience.CStaying with friends makes one feel at home.DTravelling abroad enriches ones life experience.4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ANew Years Celebration:How?BTrue Fr
19、iendship: What?CLiving Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated?DChange:Plan it or Make it?22(8分) In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something lik
20、e this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, “No, thanks. Ive got a good horse under me.”The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasnt enough difference between the height of the ground level and
21、 the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the citys streets by as much as 12 feet.
22、This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the
23、new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?Thats where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tre
24、mont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the buildings foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullmans signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.
25、Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didnt even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicagos early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chica
26、gos waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the citys next step was to clean the polluted river.1、The author mentions the joke to show _.Ahorses were fairly useful in ChicagoBChicagos streets were extremely muddyCChicago was very dangerous in the springDthe Chicago people were p
27、articularly humorous2、The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_.Aget rid of the street dirtBlower the Chicago RiverCfight against heavy floodsDbuild the pipes above ground3、The underlined word “hoist”in Paragraph 4 means “_”.AchangeBliftCrepairDdecorate4、What can we conclude about the
28、 moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?AIt went on smoothly as intended.BIt interrupted the business of the hotel.CIt involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.DIt separated the building from its foundation.5、The passage is mainly about the early Chicagos _.Apopular life styles and their influencesBen
29、vironmental disasters and their causesCengineering problems and their solutionsDsuccessful businessmen and their achievements23(8分) Dont we all know a “Happy Meal” when we see one the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, kid-sized French fries, fruits and milk, served with a toy thats extrem
30、ely popular with children who love to collect them?A Happy Meal is a form of kids meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979. A toy is included in the meal, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer, since
31、the company will replace toys with books and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year. These packages have been very co
32、ntroversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of “catching its customers young”a move that has paid off very well for the fast-food company.Child development experts say that
33、 food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of mon
34、ey have been spent on coping with these health problems. On November 2, 2010, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law requiring that childrens meals sold in restaurants must meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys, to overcome the problem of childhood obesi
35、tyin other words, the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that the fast-food company, with its large following of children, can create a powerf
36、ul message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.1、The aim of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is _.Agive a surprise to the toy loversBmake readers thin
37、k about the answerCcall on readers to buy boxed mealsDget readers attention to the article2、Books will be added into Happy Meals to _.Aintroduce the use of the toysBhelp kids learn about nutritionCincrease the cost of the mealsDspread the message of fast food3、According to Paragraph 3, Happy Meals _
38、.Acost more money than ordinary mealsBhelp the customers stay youngChave achieved the desired resultDreceive approval from health supporters4、What is the authors opinion about Happy Meals?AThey do no actual good to childrens health.BThey teach children a lot about nutrition.CThey bring much fun to c
39、hildren.DThey are popular with the young and the old.5、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AHappy Meal-A New Advertising MethodBThe links Between Food and HealthCThe Importance of Eating Healthy FoodDAre Happy Meals Really Happy?24(8分)We started in 1993 with a simple idea: t
40、hat people could help each other by sharing stories about their lives. For years people had told our founders, motivational speakers Jack and Mark, inspiring stories about themselves. Jack and Mark included these stories in their talks, and their audiences repeatedly asked if they had ever been publ
41、ished.” That story about the boy and the puppyis that in a book anywhere?” a parent asked Jack. “That story about the boy with the amputated(截肢)leg who became a tennis star, I need to read that to my staff,” a manager told him. Jack was asked repeatedly, “ Is that story in a book anywhere?”Eventuall
42、y Jack and Mark decided their audiences must be on to something, so they collected the best 101 stories theyd been told in a book. They called it Chicken Soup for the Soul because they wanted it to provide comfort just like their grandmothers cooking.They took the book to New York, hoping to sell it
43、 to one of the big publishers but every single one turned them down. The project appeared to have stalled until they met Peter Vegso, the owner of a small health and wellness polisher in Florida named HCI. Peter read some of the stories and loved them, so he decided to give the book a chance, becomi
44、ng Chicken Soup for the Souls founding publisher.Never, in Jack and Marks wildest dreams had they imagined what the book would become. Chicken Soup for the Soul turned into one of the most popular and loved books ever published, selling 11 million copies around the world. Readers asked for more stor
45、ies so we published a “second helping” of Chicken Soup for the Soul and a third after that, Today, weve published more than 250 books, which have become the best-selling trade paperback book series of all time.1、What droved Jack and Mark to publish these inspiring stores?AThe rich source of good sto

48、间活动的) activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla (游击队的) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades arid a van full of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of colon. In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles,
49、residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploit of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far
50、, there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion.Not only do the guerilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They a
51、lso make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesnt look dismal in the winter months.The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his
52、 efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty concrete pots, placed by the local government to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in t
53、he path leading to the entrance to the block.He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to
54、 come out at very short notice to revitalize (恢复活力) neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.1、Acc
