He felt sure he was going to make it to Los Angeles before midnight. It looked like it was going to be a good day. ‎ Then he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. Daryl often passed dead animals on the roadside but he knew that this was something different. He slammed on his brakes and the truck screeched to a halt.‎ The lump was a girl. He tried shaking her awake but she wouldn’t move, so he picked her up and carried her to the side of the road. At least she wouldn’t be run over there. ‎ Now she was someone else’s problem. He had to make it to Los Angeles by midnight and didn’t have time to be a hero. He climbed back into his truck but as he looked in his mirror and saw the girl lying still by the side of the road, he knew he couldn’t leave her. Daryl put her into his truck and drove to the next town.‎ An hour later he pulled up at the police station. After explaining what had happened, he prepared to leave, only for the policeman to say that he needed to make a report. Daryl knew this would take several hours, but he had no choice. There was no way he’d get to Los Angeles on time now.‎ Three hours later the report was done and the girl had recovered somewhat. She explained that she had fallen on the highway, weak from hunger, but could remember nothing else. She also thanked Daryl for saving her life. Daryl told her that he had been happy to help, but as he got back into his truck he knew his boss wouldn’t be.‎ Just as he was about to pull back onto the road, his mother called. “Have you seen?” she said. “A bridge collapsed two hours ago, the one that you drive over on the way to Los Angeles.”‎ Daryl’s blood ran cold. If he had been on time, he would have been on that fallen bridge ‎ about two hours ago. Daryl realized how lucky he was.‎ ‎24. What did Daryl plan to do in Los Angeles?‎ ‎ A. Go on holiday. B. Deliver some goods.‎ ‎ C. Visit his mum. D. Report to his boss.‎ ‎25. Why did Daryl first leave the girl by the side of the road?‎ ‎ A. He didn’t want to be late.‎ ‎ B. He thought the girl would be fine.‎ ‎ C. He knew that someone else would help.‎ ‎ D. He worried the police would blame him.‎ ‎26. How did Daryl feel after he left the police station?‎ ‎ A. Confident that he would be on time.‎ ‎ B. Angry that he had to make the report.‎ ‎ C. Proud that he had saved the girl’s life.‎ ‎ D. Worried that his boss would be angry.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined expression “Daryl’s blood ran cold” in the last paragraph suggest?‎ ‎ A. Daryl was now feeling more relaxed.‎ ‎ B. Daryl thought he would be in trouble.‎ ‎ C. Daryl was greatly shocked by the news.‎ ‎ D. Daryl felt the sudden change in temperature.‎ C ‎ Have you ever wondered when dogs first became “man’s best friend” and the world’s favourite pet? If you have then you’re not alone. When and where dogs first began living side-by-side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated (驯养) by humans. They came into our lives some 15,000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.‎ Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolf and some scientists think could be dogs. With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those of wolves. It’s even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice-fields evolved from Asian wolves, not American ones. Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Europe or Africa.‎ But why were the animals domesticated in the first place? The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves, initially living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown ‎ out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three-quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide. ‎ ‎28. Which is the only statement generally agreed on by scientists studying dogs?‎ ‎ A. They originally were used as farm animal.‎ ‎ B. They evolved from wolves found in Europe.‎ ‎ C. They helped the development of agriculture.‎ ‎ D. They were the first animal to be kept as pets.‎ ‎29. Why does the writer first mention the 30,000-year-old-animal skulls?‎ ‎ A. To show that dogs were much larger in the past.‎ ‎ B. To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolves.‎ ‎ C. To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlier.‎ ‎ D. To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium.‎ ‎30. How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska?‎ ‎ A. By examining the animals’ DNA.‎ ‎ B. By analyzing the age of their bones.‎ ‎ C. By studying the shape of their skulls.‎ ‎ D. By comparing them with modern dogs.‎ ‎31. Why did dogs start living with humans?‎ ‎ A. Because they were attracted by food.‎ ‎ B. Because they were trapped by humans.‎ ‎ C. Because they couldn’t survive in the wild.‎ ‎ D. Because they were trained to protect villages.‎ D Many people believe that the only way to make our communities safer is to build more prisons. But there’s a way to better protect cities and towns by doing just the opposite.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ In many countries throughout the world, prison populations have risen dramatically over the past decade. One of the main reasons for this is the large number of repeat offenders; that is people who break the law again once freed from jail. Statistics show that about one in four prisoners freed every year return to jail within three years.‎ ‎ This is partly because ex-prisoners face huge difficulty finding employment. More than a third of them cannot find any job at all. Data show that having a job greatly reduces the chances that a person will commit a crime again or commit one in the first place. Released prisoners who do manage to find steady employment are 50 percent less likely to return to prison. Rather than harming a community, having a job helps ex-prisoners to change their ways and make a positive and productive contribution to their community.‎ ‎ What’s more, helping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot of money. Fewer prisoners would save governments millions or ‎ possibly even billions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.‎ ‎ There are many things that the government can do to help ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be given tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.‎ ‎ Such policies of course assume that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldn’t they be given the chance? Our goal, after all, shouldn’t be to incarcerate as many criminals as possible, but to build a society that doesn’t need to put such a large percentage of its population in jail. We should take a step in that direction and help prisoners find self-respect and purpose through work. ‎ ‎32. What percentage of freed prisoners return to prison within three years?‎ ‎ A. 65%. B. 50%. C. 33%. D. 25%.‎ ‎33. Which of the following best describes the content of the fifth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Facts. B. Arguments. C. Recommendations. D. Requirements.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “incarcerate” in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. set free B. lock up C. employ D. separate【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎35. Which of the following would the author agree with?‎ ‎ A. Tougher punishment will reduce crime.‎ ‎ B. Most prisoners do not deserve to be in prison.‎ ‎ C. Economic conditions are a major cause of crime.‎ ‎ D. Prison populations are likely to increase in the future.‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ The Rio Grande Although not the longest river in America, the Rio Grande is one of the most important. But, unlike other significant rivers, it is not used for shipping. In fact, ocean-going ships cannot sail on its waters. 36 Since 1846, it has been the official border of Texas and Mexico.‎ Rio Grande Geography ‎ The Rio Grande is either the fourth or fifth longest river system ‎ in North America. It all depends on how it is measured. 37 And these course movements can cause it to be longer or shorter. At its last official measure, the Rio Grande clocked in at 1,896 miles. The river starts in Colorado and extends downward to the Gulf of Mexico.‎ ‎ 38 Not only does the river extend south, but it also starts in the mountains and gets lower and lower in altitude as it extends to the Gulf.‎ The Rio Grande Today ‎ 39 Sadly, much of the water has been used up and parts of the river are almost dry! This is because people take more water from the river than the river can get back from rain and other sources. Experts are working to correct this, though, with hopes of restoring the river to its past strength.‎ Today, the river is important as a source of water for Texans and Mexicans. 40 ‎ Though borders like the Rio Grande separate nations, they are also shared spaces. The Rio Grande is therefore a symbol of friendship and peace between two peoples.‎ A. Usually, it is measured by length.‎ B. Downward is the best way of describing it too.‎ C. What makes the Rio Grande so important is its location.‎ D. Because the river twists so much, it occasionally changes course.‎ A. The Rio Grande today is mostly used as a source of drinking water.‎ B. More importantly, it is a symbol of cooperation between two nations.‎ C. Today, the Rio Grande is the destination of tourists from all over the world.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Never been on an airplane?
