You can’t be so naive (幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering their winter food in the middle of summer. It’s important to be 20 (reality). You have got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead. The third part is 21 ants think summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 22 , “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” And 23 the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 24 (turn) cold again, they will dive back down.

Born in 1936 in Oak Park, Illinois, the American Richard Bach is the direct descendant (后代) of J.S. Bach, the famous composer. He attended Long Beach State College in 1955.
As an airplane pilot, Bach got married to his first wife and had six children, but divorced later and then left his family because he didn’t believe in marriage.
Everything concerning airplane was his field, including an aviation (航空) technical writer and flight instructor.
Though aviation was his true love, Bach always wanted to write. During his high school years, one of his teachers made him realize his potential. In 1959 he had this idea of a bird learning to pass beyond the walls of limitations-Jonathan Livingston Seagull. In almost all his books he used airplanes as a way to pass the message. In Running from Safety, Bach shares with us his childhood: at age 8, he lost one of his brothers: Bobby.
In 1970, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a story about a seagull who flew for the sake of flying rather than merely to catch food, was published by Macmillan Publishers after the manuscript (手稿) was turned down by many other publishers. The book, which included unique photos of seagulls in flight, became a best-seller. In 1973, the book was turned into a movie. It’s said that Bach charged the production with changing the movie without his permission. In fact, those who saw the movie noticed that his name wasn’t mentioned.

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said. “You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier航空快递, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vocation!
31. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?
A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.
32. An air courier is a person who ______________.
A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourist
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
33. Businesses choose the air-courier service because ____________.

34. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he _________.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of jeans
D. saves little money from the travel
35. The author of the text mainly ___________.

Boxing is a fist fighting sport between two matched combatants (对手) wearing padded gloves. A boxer’s primary aim is to land as many blows as possible to the head and torso (躯干) of the opponent, using strength and speed to dominate the contest. One of the oldest sports still practiced, boxing dates back to thousands of years ago. Today the sport is popular in many parts of the world and encompasses (包括) both amateur and professional matches.
For most of the 20th century boxing attracted huge fan and media attention in the United States. Some boxing champions became legendary, larger-than-life figures, such as Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, and Muhammad Ali. Criticized to varying degrees throughout its history for its violent nature and high injury rate, boxing has somehow always managed to survive—and even thrive—as a sport.
Modern boxing regulations are based upon the 12 rules set out by British boxing officials in the mid-19th century. These rules became known as the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, named after the 8th Marquess of Queensberry, John Sholto Douglas, who sponsored and published them. In addition to in-the-ring rules, modern boxing also has specific regulations regarding eligibility for the fighters themselves.
The modern rules for professional and amateur boxing differ, but both types of contests are divided into time periods called rounds. In professional boxing, each round lasts three minutes; in amateur boxing, two minutes. A one-minute rest period between rounds is standard. Amateur contests consist of three rounds; professional contests may consist of up to 12 rounds. A bell is usually sounded by a timekeeper to begin and end each round.
A key step in making boxing safer and more respectable was the introduction of gloves, ending brutal bare-knuckle competition. Boxing gloves are heavily padded to soften the impact of the blow and to protect the hands of the boxer. As an added protection, the hands are taped before being placed in the gloves, which are essentially huge mittens. Professional gloves usually weigh between 170 and 226g;
amateur gloves average 226 to 340g.
36. Which of the following is true according to the information in the passage?
A. Boxing is a violent sport with high injury rate.
B. People enjoy boxing because of its brutal nature.
C. Only professional players are allowed to attend boxing matches.
D. Boxing is a popular sport with a history of only 200 years.
37. Boxing has always managed to survive as a sport. In the author’s opinion, .
A. this is because many people can participate in this popular sport
B. this is because boxing is a sport which can bring good business
C. the reason for this cannot be fully explained
D. this is because there are many legendary boxers
38. Which of the following facts about boxing is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The time set for a round.
B. The weight of gloves.
C. The size of boxing rings.
D. The signal to begin and end each round.
39. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is .
A. to give a general introduction to the sport of boxing
B. to advertise a band of boxing-related product
C. to discourage people from enjoying this violent sport
D. to get support for a sport with long tradition
40. Which of the following statements can best describe the sport of boxing as a whole?
A. It is a brutal and violent sport, with little popularity in modern times.
B. It is a traditional sport, with little room for improvement.
C. It is a controversial sport, which nevertheless enjoys great public support.
D. It is strictly professional sport with rigid and exclusive rules.

Ten students have stopped complaining about gas prices. Instead, they’re competing in a nationwide contest to redesign the cars. Final competitors were chosen from a field of 60 applicants.
“The schools were selected to find technology that will help our country reach the needs for energy sources, so we don’t have to depend on other countries to provide fuel.” Pickering said. He is vice chairman of the US House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee. The teams received $ 10,000 and a Chevrolet Equinox which would be used as a starting place for modifications. Each team can
also get $ 25,000 in parts and software from GM and other sponsors. The cars will be taken to the GM proving grounds for a national competition. It’s the finale(结束曲)of a three-year competition.
In the first year, students designed and worked out their plans. “At the end of the first year, our plans for the hybrid(混合动力系统)were approved and we received our own Chevrolet Equinox to begin construction.” said Amanda McAlpin, leader of the outreach team.
In the second year, the students’ goal is for their hybrid to exceed the factory Equinox’s fuel efficiency by 50 percent. “Our goal is to place in the top five but increase in the areas we lacked in.” McAlpin said. “If we can maintain this strategy, we should be able to obtain our goal.”
In the final competition this year, GM technicians would examine the cars to approve the safety and make sure they meet all contest rules. “We would like to be in the top half of each event, but they are all different. Every team has their own strategy to win.” said a computer engineering major.
“By hosting the competition, GM really gets the cream of the crop(优秀毕业生)from the top engineering schools across the country.” McAlpin said, “Many of our recent graduates who have worked on the car have received jobs with GM.” And Pickering agreed, “Their brainpower will give us firepower and horsepower for the future.”
41. How long does the contest last?
A. One year. B. Two years. C. Three years. D. Four years.
42. The underlined word “modifications” in the second paragraph means _____.
A. design B. changes C. approval D. examination
43. What’s the real purpose for GM to sponsor this contest?
A. To reduce the consumption of fuels. B. To sell its Chevrolet Equinox.
C. To make advertisements. D. To find excellent graduates and employ them.
44. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Sixty students competed in the final contest.
B. The team could get nothing but $35,000 from the sponsors.
C. It was GM technicians who decided which team was the best.
D. Ten teams in all took part in the contest.
45. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Students Building Better Hybrid B. A Competition for Redesigning Cars
C. An Energy-saving Competition D. GM and the Redesigned Cars

46. In this collection, Bill Bryson is writing from home. We find he assesses life both in New England and in the contemporary United States. With the telescopic perspective(远望视角) of one who has stepped out of the American mainstream and come back after 20 years, Bryson holds the mirror up to U.S. culture and feel strange to his motherland.
47. This book is a guide to the world’s unspoilt sights and experiences. It presents one thousand fresh and fascinating alternatives to hundreds of well-known tourist destinations and sights, including alternatives to the Carnival in Rio and the beaches of Thailand, the most-visited national parks, over-rated restaurants and holiday sites.
48. Returning to the U.S. after 20 years in England, Bill Bryson decided to reconnect with his mother country by hiking the length of the 2100-mile Appalachian Trail. Awed by merely the camping section of his local sporting goods store, he still goes into the wilderness and learns hard lessons about self-reliance.
49. A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. This book is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth, the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him to across 38 states in the country, which is like a small town in his opinion.
50. Born in Iowa, Bryson backpacked through Europe as a young man. While
living in England some 20 years later, he revisited many of the same places from arctic Norway’s northern lights to romantic Capri in Italy. Here he jumps back and forth between old memories and new experiences.

第二节 读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment --- to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies (好吃的东西) of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. And they were.
But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by his teacher’ side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for
which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His abstract image captured the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured(低声说), “It was yours, teacher.”
She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often she had said, “Take my hand, Douglas. We will go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.
The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out.

A possible version:
Now people hold totally two different opinions towards the phenomenon that some buildings are built in traditional style. Some think that the developers build houses to meet the demands of consumers differing in taste and spending power, which therefore makes the buildings in old style a selling point. However, others hold the opposite idea on this issue. They believe that even though such newly-built “old” buildings cannot represent the traditional culture, endeavor of this kind does help arouse people’s awareness of traditional culture protection. Meanwhile, in some cases, some local governments try to give their cities unique appearances by constructing buildings in old style so as to attract more tourists, which at the same time helps develop the local economies.
第二节 读写任务
概括应该包括以下要点:
(1)Douglas drew a picture of hand.

A possible version for the summary:
Different from other students, Douglas drew a hand of his teacher as the assignment for Thanksgiving Day, conveying his deep gratitude to the teacher. From the story we can learn that people will remember those who helped them.
