Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location was also a reason. ＂This used to be the center of town,＂ he said. ＂Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.＂
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?
A. It made room for new equipment.
B. It signaled the shutdown of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience.
D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?
A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it. D. The theater owner found it suitable.
26. What will probably happen to the building?
A. It will be repaired. B. It will be turned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down. D. It will be sold to the city government.
27. What can we infer about the audience?
A. They are disappointed with Bradford.
B. They are sad to part with the old theater.
C. They are supportive of the city officials.
D. They are eager to have a shopping center.
C
Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle — named the Transition — has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.


28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The basic data of the Transition.
B. The advantages of flying cars.
C. The potential market for flying cars.
D. The designers of the Transition.
29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A. It causes traffic jams.
B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive.
D. It burns too much fuel.
30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s First Flight
C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality
D
A build-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s fancy.
C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable.
33. What does the underlined phrase ＂the water catcher＂ in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The still.
C. The hole. D. The cup.
34. What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from .
A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole
C. the open air D. beneath the sheet

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 36 Here’s how to make one.
● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39
● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack lived in a small village surrounded by forests and he had always been fascinated by animals and often spent his free time wandering around the woods, observing them,
One day, while wandering through the forest, Jack chanced upon a group of deer eating grass peacefully in a clearing(空地). As he approached them, they rushed away, frightened by his presence. Jack felt sad that the animals were afraid of him, and he decided to change it. Over the next few weeks, Jack visited the clearing every day, sitting quietly and patiently, observing the deer from a distance. Slowly but surely, the deer grew accustomed to his presence and started to approach him and allow him to pet them. Jack was thrilled that he had gained their trust.
Inspired by his success, Jack started to explore the forest more and more, meeting different animals along the way. He encountered a family of rabbits, a pack of wolves, and even a group of bears. Although he was initially scared of the bears, he soon realized that they were just as curious about him as he was about them.
Jack started to bring food for the animals, and they started to see him as a friend. He would sit with them for hours, watching them play and interact with each other. He learned so much about their behavior and habits, and he felt a deep connection with them.
One day, while he was sitting with the rabbits, Jack heard a loud noise in the bushes. He was afraid that it might be a predator(捕食者),but to his surprise, a small fox emerged from the bushes. The fox was struggling to walk, and Jack could see that it was injured.
Without hesitation, Jack approached the fox slowly, trying not to scare it. He saw that the fox had a thorn(刺) stuck in its paw, and it was in a lot of pain. Jack knew he had to help the fox, but he didn't want to hurt it further.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
He sat down next to the fox and started talking to it in a soft voice.



As he grew older, Jack’s love for animals grew stronger.

Dear Sir or Madam,
l am Li Hua, a Chinese high school student, feeling so lucky to have visited your museum which left a good impression on me. I am writing with the intention of telling you the some discovered errors on your signs.
During the visit, I found that some Chinese on your signs are improperly used and there are even some spelling mistakes, which will contribute to misunderstandings for visitors. To make matters worse, the misuse will especially upset Chinese tourists, making them unwilling to have a return visit. Consequently, the fame of your museum will be ruined. So I do hope you can turn to Chinese experts for help for the sake of finding out the mistakes and correcting them as well.
It would be better if you could take my proposal into due consideration.
Best regards ,
Li Hua

He sat down next to the fox and started talking to it in a soft voice. He gently stroked its fur and, after a few minutes, managed to pull the thorn out. The fox licked his hand gratefully and stared at him with its big, brown eyes. From that day on， the fox would follow Jack everywhere he went. Tom's friendship with the animals of the forest was the talk of the village. People would often see him wandering around with a pack of wolves or sitting with a family of bears. They were amazed by his ability to befriend animals that were supposed to be wild and dangerous.
As he grew older, Jack's love for animals grew stronger. He realized that animals were not just pets or creatures to be hunted, but they were his friends and companions. He started volunteering at an animal shelter，where he would help care for injured and abandoned animals. He also worked with local conservation groups to protect the forests and wildlife in his area. Jack's love for animals had brought him a sense of purpose and fulfillment that he had never experienced before. He knew that he had made a difference in the lives of many animals, and he was grateful for the friendship and companionship of his animal friends.

【文章大意】本文主要从购物点、就餐点、租借服务三方面介绍了Pacific Science Center，并展示了Pacific Science Center为人们做的贡献，呼吁人们的支持。
21. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的The store is located(位于) upstairs in Building 3 right next to the Laser Dome.可知Pacific Science Center的购物点在Laser Dome旁边的3号楼的楼上。故选B。
22.D细节理解题。根据第四段中的Today, Pacific Science Center serves more than 1.3 million people a year and brings inquiry-based science education to classrooms and community events all over Washington State可知现在Pacific Science Center每年向130多万人提供服务，并开始把科学教育带到教室。故选D。
23.A目的意图题。根据文章最后一段中的Visit pacificsciencecenter.org to find various ways you can support Pacific Science Center.可知作者呼吁读者支持Pacific Science Center,也就是鼓励人们为之提供帮助、做贡献。故选A。
B
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一家具有75年历史的剧院因为不利的地理位置和现代剧院的竞争而被转售的故事。
24.B细节理解题。根据首段的最后两句可知，这次散场后的清理工作与之前不同的是工人不仅清理走了垃圾，而且还搬走了座椅和剧院的其他设备，因为剧院已经被转卖出去了。
25.D推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知，剧院老板选择这部电影是因为这部电影本身讲述的就是小镇上唯一的电影院准备关门停业的故事，与Plaza Theater的现状一样。
26.C推理判断题。根据第四段末句中的"which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theateris located”可以推断出这个剧院将被拆除，取而代之的是一个购物中心。
27.B推理判断题。根据第二段中的" most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to saygood-bye to the old building”可知，人们非常难过，不愿意看到老剧院被拆掉。
C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。Terrafugia 公司研制出飞行汽车并成功进行了第一次飞行,使飞行汽车成为现实更进一步。
28.A【解析】考查段落大意。第一段的第二句""The vehicle...like a car"介绍了飞行汽车Transition的构造,第一段的后半部分介绍了它的空中飞行速度、陆地行驶速度和油耗情况,这些都是飞行汽车的基本数据。故选A项。
29.C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $ 279,000"可知,该飞行汽车是非常贵的所以不太可能大量出现在车道上。故选C项。
30.B【解析】考查推理判断。根据第三段中的""The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly"可推知,政府对该项目是支持的。故选B项。
31.D【解析】考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的""Terrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year"可知,Terrafugia公司的飞行汽车成功进行了第一次飞行从而使飞行汽车更加接近现实。所以选D项。主旨大意题的解答要注意文章的首段和尾段,同时要结合文章中大部分内容所讲述的观点。文章中只提及Transition 会出现在New York Auto Show,但这不是文章主要内容,故排除A项;B项只是飞行汽车的第一次飞行,过于片面;C项中的"Pilots’Dream"未在文中提及。
D
【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一种自己可以亲手制作的简单易行的太阳能蒸馏器的方法，并介绍了它的工作原理。这种蒸馏器所需的材料简单，适用于任何缺水的地方。
32. D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.可知制作蒸馏器的东西可以叠放在一个小包里，系在腰间，这说明制作蒸馏器的设备很轻便，portable表示＂轻便的；手提的＂，故选D。
33.B 词义猜测题。根据Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher 's productivity可知最好在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高接水器的工作效率。"接水器"指的是在潮湿的地方挖洞，在洞的底部放一个杯子，杯子上方用膜覆盖，整个装置构成接水器，而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选D,但是就算在干燥的地方挖洞,杯子也可以接水,杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围环境的变化而变化，杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选B。
34.C细节理解题。根据第三段Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock.可知最后一步是weighting the sheet's center downwith a rock(放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去)，故选C。
35.D 推理判断题。结合第四段中的Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup可知地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来，直到形成小水滴落在杯子里，覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里，所以水滴是聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选D。

七选五
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何帮助人们制订一个计划去调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头疼的事。
36.C根据空前及空后的关键词one可以判断出，空处应为解决方法，再结合所给选项可知只有C选项符合语境。
37.B 本段内容是建议人们要先确定为什么要早起，弄清早起的目的是什么，也就是早起的动机是什么，因此B项可以概括本段的中心。
38.G根据下句内容可知，作者建议人们买一个可以定时的咖啡机，这样可以节约15分钟的喝咖啡时间，能够多睡15分钟，文中的 a quarter-hour和选项中的15 minutes相呼应，是信息提示词。故选G。
39.F根据段落的中心句可知,本段是建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间,由此推断出Stick to your setbedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day符合语境。故选F。
40.E后句建议人们如果这样做没作用就尝试新办法，由此推断出该空与If not对应，即如果有效果的话如何去做。故选 E。

【文章大意】文章讲述了“我”在日本的亲身经历地震，从而引发的感慨。
41. A. 从后文“to Nagoya to shoot some photos”表达了“我”要去拍照的意思，那么可以反推前文，“我”去售票厅只能是买票，所以选择A,预定一个旅程。Finish结束；cancel取消；postpone推迟。
42. A. 从前句的“slightly轻微地”和“mildly温和地”两个副词可以知道这里作者想表明的是自己没有感觉到，即忽视了，所以选择A。noticed注意；missed错过，这里作者并不是说自己错过了这个现象的发生，而是想侧重自己忽视了现象发生的暗示，所以也不选择C。
43. C.从后文的“fall over”摔倒，东西摔倒在地上可以证明地震是十分猛烈的，而且后文也有提及“violently”。
44. B.从前文“smile笑”这个的单词就可以知道，这个老人是不害怕，是冷静的，所以44选择B。nervously紧张地；broadly广阔的；delightfully高兴的。
45. D.第一段告诉了我们地震已经发生了,“我”应该是在逃命地状态，所以应该是马上冲向门，所以选择D。reach for伸手去拿，made for前往/有利于，look for寻找。
46. C.由于地面剧烈的晃动，所以笔直向前的跑是十分困难地，所以选择C。compulsory强制的；apparent明显的；entertaining娱乐的。
47. C.当我到达了路上，我的心跳仍旧十分的快。
48. B.我想要找到一片远离建筑的地区，但是在日本这是不可能的。日本地理面积小，房屋密集。undoubted毋庸置疑的；easy容易地；available可获得的。
49. A.从后文可知，我像大多数人那样站在一个公园。building建筑；subway地铁；train火车。
50. D.但这个时候，地面仍在晃动，但是没有那么剧烈。change改变；crack裂缝；fall倒下；shake晃动。
51. C.我之后才知道是8.9级地震。Put forward提出;put up建造，公布，支付，留宿;figure out计算出，解决，发现;make out理解，明白.

Text 1
W: You are late! You should have come earlier to see the wonderful beginning of the film.
M: Well, I met my brother at the airport and we bought something on the way back.

Text 2
W: Excuse me, do you know an easy way to get to the airport?
M: Why don’t you take the bus? That’s what I always do when I fly.

Text 3
M: Why did you set the alarm for 8:00?
W: Dear, but you said you had a meeting to attend at 8:30. Hurry up, you have to get to the office in 15 minutes.
M: Oh, I’m so tired.

Text 4
M: Why are you taking the pills? Are you sick?
W: No. These pills are helping me to lose weight.
M: Are they from a doctor?
W: No. A TV commercial said they would help.

Text 5
W: How’s your stomach this morning?
M: Much better, thanks.
W: But you must stay in bed for another day or two, and you mustn’t eat too much.
M: But, doctor, I haven’t eaten anything since the day before yesterday.
W: Oh, that’s terrible. You should eat something.

Text 6
M: Hey, Mary! What have you been doing these days?
W: Oh, hi, Tom. I’ve been studying a lot lately. All my classes seem to have exams during the same week.
M: That’s awful. Where are you going now?
W: I’m heading to the gym. I’ve been sitting at my desk all day and I need some exercise. Do you want to walk out there with me?
M: Actually, I’m on the way back from the gym. I just had swimming practice and I’m going to dinner.

Text 7
W: What kind of music do you like listening to?
M: I like music that has a fast beat and is lively, like dance music, which is sometimes too loud though. You prefer classical music, don’t you?
W: Yes, I do. I find it very relaxing. I often listen to Mozart or Bach in the evening after a hard day at work.
M: I must admit that I like several pieces of classical music.
W: Classical music is supposed to be good for your brain. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better.
M: Really? Perhaps I should listen to classical music often. I heard that listening to classical music is helpful in reducing stress.
W: Yes. That’s why I listen to it in the evenings. But in the early morning when I get up, I prefer to listen to folk music, which is more traditional.

Text 8
W: Well, Jack. Take a seat, please. And, where does your enthusiasm for sports come from?
M: Hmm, let me think. It’s difficult to choose one thing in particular... I grew up around sport. My best friend Mike likes sports. My mum was a really good athlete, actually.
W: Oh, yes?
M: We used to go and see her running marathons, which made a big impression on me as a child. I suppose it’s in my blood.
W: Right, fantastic. And how do you think teachers can encourage their students to enjoy sports?
M: Hmm, that’s an interesting question. On one hand, I think many students enjoy the competitive activities. They want to be the best, and it’s motivating for them. On the other hand, we need to encourage the ones who are not as confident. So we need to reward them for participating and trying their best. It’s not all about winning!
W: OK, thank you very much, Jack. You make some good points.

Text 9
M: Anna, what do you do now? Are you a doctor? Or a teacher?
W: Neither, I’m a manager in an American company that produces iPods.
M: Ah, that must be a position with a good salary.
W: Yes, it is! But I have to work hard for what I get—twelve to fourteen hours a day.
M: I see. So what’s your degree in? Something related to iPods?
W: Well, I have a degree in computers at university, and I’ve taken a course in typing and various forms of office training. There aren’t many opportunities for women in management. This work was about the only thing I could find.
M: Do you get much time off work?
W: Only two days off a month. But I sometimes get to travel with my boss, and I enjoy that.
M: That’s good that you like your job so much. I have to say, though, I prefer my eight-hour days, even though I don’t earn all that much.

Text 10
W: Television is the most significant influence on children in the United States, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children go to school. And, by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18, 000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12, 000 hours in a classroom.
Parents are concerned about these figures and the lack of quality in television programs for children. They are worried the violence in many of these shows may have a negative effect on the young minds. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents are in favor of. The most famous of these is “Sesame Street”, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street” and shows like it high marks for quality, some argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. They say that the habit of watching hours of television a day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.
