第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

从每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A

Situation I

Q: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is it a nice way to directly ask him to keep it down?

A: No. Try other means. (1) Stare at him until he realizes it and quiets down. (2) Lift your finger in a silence motion (动作) and smile. (3) Put on earphones and ignore him.

Situation II

Q: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day later, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?

A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for: “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”

Situation III

Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复) to it?

A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “Yes,” you can say if ever asked, “I saw it.” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.

11. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?

A. By making fun of him. B. By looking at him.

C. By talking to him. D. By pointing at him.

B

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade（贸易）. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness（荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.

Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.

14. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?

A. One out of five people got rich. B. Half of them died.

C. Almost everyone gave up. D. Two-thirds of them stayed there.

15. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?

A. They found the city too crowded. B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.

C. They were unable to stand the winter. D. They were short of food.

16. What is the text mainly about?

A. Journeys into the wilderness. B. The gold rush in Canada.

C. The rise and fall of a city. D. Tourism in Dawson.

C

Bacteria are a troublesome problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物)from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces(表面)of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA solving this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a group of high school kids. But not just any kids. It’s depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.

HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they`re close to a solution. “We don`t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager. “There are no tests,” Gordon says.

“There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and… it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”

Gordon says the HUNCH program has an influence on college admissions(录取)and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that troublesome bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.

17. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?

A. They appear different forms. B. They lead to air pollution.

C. They are hard to get rid of. D. They damage the instruments.

18. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?

A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.

B. To develop students’ communication skills.

C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.

D. To link space technology with school education.

19. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?

A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs.

C. Balance work schedules. D. Grade their homework.

20. What is the best title for the text?

A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts. B. Space: The Final Homework Frontier.

C. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom. D. HUNCH: A College Admission Improvement.

My Life Without Money

At the age of 54, Heidemarie Schwermer, a German woman, gave up her job as a psychotherapist（心理咨询师）, gave away all her money and her flat and threw away her credit cards. ___21___

It is one of the mistakes of our society that most people do something they don’t like just to earn money and spend it on things they don’t need. Many people judge you according to how much you earn. In my opinion, all jobs are equally important. ___25___ That’s my message.”
