People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling(骑自行车) in Amsterdam(阿姆斯特丹) for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there.

In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came-- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!

However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike’ is back in town--this time with a computer chip(芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert(插入) a special card. The new “ white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.

There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.

4.Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles” because of_________.

A.the cycling fans there B.the appearance for bicycles

C.the convenience of bicycles D.the quality of bicycles

5.In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could_________.

A.be specially disigned   B.help to save energy

C.be placed anywhere                    D.be painted in different colours

6.Why did the first “white bike” plan fail?

A.There were not enough parking places.

B.The government allowed people to drive cars freely.

C.Thieves took all the bikes within weeks.

D.People were tired of riding bikes.

7.What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city?

A.A special computer.  B.A common chip.

C.A special card.  D.A white key.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an.He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code （二维码）.“We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate （使产生） the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.”Said Guo,“When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat.Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me.So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone.He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting.“We are living in the information age.Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education.Education itself is a kind of creation.I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried . They are afraid that their children will spend too much time surfing the Internet and less time communicating with teachers . But in fact, it’s unnecessary . Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework.They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time.And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

8.What makes Mr. Guo special as a teacher?

A.He doesn’t give students homework after his class.

B.He asks his students to hand in homework in a new way.

Going green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners.  We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

12. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.

A. they were expected to follow the green fad B. they didn’t know how to educate other people

C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy D. they needed to perform unusual green tasks

13. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.  B. They ignored others’ ungreen behavior.

C. They chose better chemical cleaners.      D. They sold their home-made food.

14. What can we infer form the last paragraph?

A. The government will give support to the green people.

B. The couple may continue their project in the future.

C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.

D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

15. During the Green Year, according to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

A. They never bought meat.

B. They cleaned their home by using chemical cleaners.

C. They tried to make some food for themselves.

D. They sold the things they don’t need on the Internet.

第二节 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。

（共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分）

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently.      16   _.

First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.

      17   . The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download the RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be disappointed by limited understanding.    18          

Here is some of the advice I give my students：

• Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

• Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.

• Do not translate everything into your native language.

•      19   . Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main idea.

• Listen to something you enjoy.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion.      20   . Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. What should you do?
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
C. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E. So, what you need to do is find listening resources.
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

本文介绍了很多人睡眠不足的现象和由此导致的一些问题。

41．tired　解析：考查形容词。本句主语是人，故用形容词tired作feeling的表语。

42．forgetting　解析：考查非谓语动词。空处与其逻辑主语Many of us 构成主谓关系，因此用现在分词作状语。

43．dangerous　解析：考查形容词。空后为名词，故用形容词修饰。

44．a　解析：考查冠词。此处表示作为我们对工作和家庭的奉献的一种标志，表泛指，故用a。

45．or　解析：考查固定短语。believe it or not 为固定短语，意为“信不信由你”。

46．on　解析：考查介词。on average 为固定搭配，意为“平均来看，按平均值”。

47．has changed　解析：考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的时间状语“over the past 15 years”可知，此处应用现在完成时，且该句的主语是“the amount of sleep”，故谓语动词用单数形式。

48．problems　解析：考查名词复数。空前有many 修饰，且problem为可数名词，故用其复数形式。

49．simply　解析：考查副词。此处修饰非谓语动词 limiting，故应用副词。

50．which　解析：考查定语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，又因关系词在从句中作主语，指代空前的“...limiting...the night before”，故用which。

第三部分短文改错（每小题1分，共10分）

1.第一句interesting改为interested  2.第二句a 改为 an
3.第三句去掉in     4.第四句make改为making
5.第五句 begins改为began   6.第五句come后加to
