二、阅读理解
Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The US public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled, according to Elizabeth Royte’s book Bottlemania: How
Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases. And groundwater pumping by bottled water companies draws heavily on underground aquifers(含水层) and harms watersheds(分水岭), according to the Sierra Club. And some studies suggest it takes up to three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water.
Yet more than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water globally. In many cities in developing countries where there is not a safe source of tap water, bottled water becomes a trusted choice.
In the US, tap water is controlled by the government and often examined for dangerous polluted substances. Each American drinks 79 liters of bottled water per year on average, according to the Columbia Water Center at Columbia University’s Earth Institute in New York. The bottled water industry is so successful that it has outpaced(超过) milk, coffee, and juice in the number of gallons of drinks sold — putting it behind only beer and soda.
Though the sale and consumption of bottled water is still on the rise, certain policymakers have taken steps to reduce it and encourage people to drink tap water. In September 2009, the Australian town of Bundanoon became the first town in the world to completely ban bottled water from its stores’ shelves, building water fountains around the town instead.
Among US cities that have taken action are San Francisco and Seattle, which no longer buy water for city use, and Chicago, which added a five-cent tax on each bottle. Several restaurants in those cities have also given up bottled water for tap water. Other cities are also considering taking action.
21．What does the underlined word &drain& in the first paragraph probably mean?A.Consumption.B.Value.C.Solution.D.Relief.22．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.Why bottled water is so popular.B.What Elizabeth Royte’s book is about.C.How much it takes to produce bottled water.D.What effects bottled water has on the environment.23．According to the passage, what drink sells best in the USA?A.Bottled water.B.Beer.C.Coffee.D.Milk.24．Which of the following statements about the US is TRUE?A.More than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water in the US.B.About 79 billion water bottles a year are gone through by the US public.C.In Chicago, you have to pay 5 cents as tax if you buy a bottle of water.D.An American drinks 50 liters of bottled water every year on average.
My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it. When he was young, he was a member of a small country music band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer but he left it. Dad was a very religious man. There was a lot of drinking and cursing(咒骂) on the day of his audition and he did not want to be around that type of environment.
Occasionally, Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. I loved to sing, but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.
Father once worked for Todd Steel in Point of Rocks, Maryland and was involved in an accident. Dad got the index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. He didn’t lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything, but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.
After the accident, Dad was reluctant(不愿意的) to play the mandolin. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn’t play. Eventually, we would wear him down and he would say, &Okay, but remember, I can’t hold down on the strings the way I used to.& For the family it didn’t make any difference that Dad couldn’t play as well.
In 1993, my father was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said &okay&. He knew it would probably be the last time he could play for us. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, giving. Sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!
25．What can we learn from the passage about the father?A.Father practiced very hard in order to play the mandolin well.B.Father left the band because he hated the atmosphere there.C.The writer was taught to play the mandolin by his father.D.Father was once the lead singer of a small local band.26．Why was Father unwilling to play the mandolin after the accident?A.Because he was afraid he couldn’t play as well as before.B.Because he was badly injured and was too weak to play it.C.Because he didn’t have enough fingers to play the mandolin.D.Because his family would feel disappointed at his performance.27．What does the underlined phrase &wear him down& in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A.Make him angry.B.Make him tired.C.Defeat him.D.Persuade him.28．Which of the following words can be used to best describe Father?A.Generous but strict.B.Kind and helpful.C.Religious and caring.D.Clever and brave.

It’s a safe bet that a robot made your car and your computer. Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.
Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including Sony and General Electric are working on designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves.
What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed so people can find robots with such function in the market. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl(爬行) or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more energy-efficient.
A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day the television remote control was invented, people around the world have searched for new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the average family.
To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still a long way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain — when these robots do come into our homes, it will change things forever.
33．What is already on sale according to the passage?A.A robot that can make your bed.B.A robot that can do gardening.C.A robot that can walk on two legs and talk like people.D.A robot that can recognize and respond to a human voice.34．What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about?A.The public will be particular about robots.B.It is too early for robots to be sold to ordinary families.C.Right now robots are too expensive for ordinary families.D.The demand also contributes to the new robot revolution.35．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.

四、完形填空
Recently, I adopted a rescue dog — a one-year-old German Shepherd. As I stood in front of him and 　　41　petted his head, I was 　　42　when he cringed (蜷缩)and backed away. Then I remembered that his 　　43　with humans before his rescue had been less than ideal.
So I tried another 　　44　. I waited a moment, then stood by his side, facing in the same direction that he was facing. I 　　45　down and petted his head. No cringing. I petted his long neck, and down his back, and soon he was leaning against me, 　　46　, no longer insecure.
Ah, the 　　47　of &together&! A recent study by Priyanka B. Carr of Stanford University showed that participants who worked on a task in 　　48　rooms, had no visual or other 　　49　, but were told that they were working &together& with other participants on the same task, 　　50　longer, solved problems more 　　51　, and felt better than participants who simply worked on the task alone, without any 　　52　of &together&.
When I stood next to my dog, my body language said that I was his ally, one 　　53　him. We were working &together&. What you can do with your mate, your friend, your family, or anytime you want to 　　54　something requires someone else’s 　　55　.
For example, you are at odds with your spouse over something. You don’t 　　56　the purchase of a big-ticket item, or on the 　　57　of schooling for your child, or even on how to get the housework done. Instead of sitting across a table from each other, or 　　58　— yelling across the room at each other — let your body language send out the 　　59　&we’re in this together&.
Besides, it’s so much more fun to be facing 　　60　side by side, pointing in the same direction, don’t you think? My dog certainly does.

六、短文改错
71．Every time I read &... if I had the power of sight for three days&, I cannot help being moved its author Helen Keller, an ordinary and great American woman.
I admire Helen because she was optimistic about life. While she became deaf and blind, she was just 19 months old. So communication seemed complete a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of his teacher, Ms Sullivan, Helen learned to read and write and become a famous writer. To a disabled person like her, this was really the wonder!
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value that we have, and try our best to overcome some difficulty in life.
