However, a project carried out by The Observer suggests that people regard these spaces as a place of refuge (避难), a window in their tightly scheduled lives.‎ Ella Doroudy, Margate Station We were at the beach for the day, and now are on our way home. We don’t have to wait very long, because we checked the timetable so we got here in time for the train. I just chat with my mates, really, and listen to music until the train comes. Waiting with other people is easier because you can kill time when you’re talking about stuff.‎ Caroline Lacey, Streatham Dental Center I don’t really get nervous about seeing the dentist, but since these two fillings (补牙的材料) came out I’ve been in sharp pain. It’s very bright and airy here, so it’s quite calming. Usually I kill time by reading magazines. I’ve been coming to the dentist as and when I need to, but now it’s got to be regular.‎ Katie Hawkins, Model Casting I was a bit late today, which I’m quite pleased about because some of these girls have been waiting ages. You can’t help but look at everyone else a bit — you look at the other girls and think: “I wonder if they’ll like her better than they like me.” While I’m waiting, I’m thinking: “Oh come on. I do have a life!”‎ Paul Thomas, Royal London Hospital I feel pretty indifferent (满不在乎的)  while I’m waiting here, to be honest. It’s something I’ve got very used to since my motorbike accident seven years ago. I’ve had ‎ about 32 operations so far. It’s no good rushing in thinking you’re going to escape in five minutes, so I just sit back and people-watch, really.‎ ‎24. What is Ella doing at Margate Station?‎ A. Checking the timetable.‎ B. Catching the train to the beach.‎ C. Meeting and picking her mates up.‎ D. Waiting for the train to return home.‎ ‎25. How does Caroline feel after she enters the waiting room?‎ A. Bored. B. Excited.

Caroline Lacey.‎ C Almost no young people today know who the cartoon character Oswald the Rabbit is, but they certainly recognize his successor, Bugs Bunny. Oswald, Bugs, and hundreds of other characters were created by Walt Disney, perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.‎ Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from World War I, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technology that was new at the time, moving pictures.‎ In the 1920’s, he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character. In each drawing, the character was changed just a bit. A film was taken of the series of drawings, and when it was shown, the characters appeared to move. The process, called animation, is still used today, although computers have made the process much easier.‎ In 1928, Disney created his most famous character, Mortimer Mouse, who we know ‎ today as Mickey. The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie, which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track. Within the next few years, Disney invented many of his other characters.‎ The list of Disney’s animation successes is long and memorable. It includes Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Created in 1937, it was an immediate success. Today, more than fifty years later, it is still one of the most popular films for children.‎ ‎28. What is one of the chief differences between animation today and in Walt Disney’s early years?‎ A. More people like animated movies. B. Fewer people like animated movies.‎ C. Computers have made the job easier. D. Computers have made the job harder.‎ ‎29. Which of these words best describes Walt Disney?‎ A. Creative. B. Athletic. C. Exciting. D. Quiet.‎ ‎30. What makes the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so remarkable?‎ A. It was a little success when created.‎ B. It took more than a year to make it.‎ C. It was made at a time when there were no computers.‎ D. It has remained popular for more than fifty years.‎ ‎31. The secret of animation is to _______.‎ A. make drawings that are exactly the same, then film them B. choose names for characters that make people remember them C. combine music, voices, and sound effects with pictures D. make a film of many drawings that change just a little D Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.‎ Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn’t stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through ‎ lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.‎ In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didn’t get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.‎ Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there — he is the only person who has had this honor.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Brief. B. Slight. C. Lasting. D. Ordinary.‎ ‎33. What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?‎ A. Tasting chemicals. B. Staying in the empty lab.‎ C. Experimenting in darkness. D. Working together with others.‎ ‎34. What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?‎ A. He was buried in the Tanami desert.‎ B. Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.‎ C. One comet of Jupiter was named after him.‎ D. A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.‎ ‎35. The text is mainly about three great scientists’ _____.‎ A. special honors B. great achievements C. famous experiments D. suffering in the job ‎ 四、七选五 People all over the world live in different places. Some live on a river and some live in the mountains. Similarly, people have different kinds of houses in different places. Some places like Canada have low population density (密度) so there is plenty of room for people to live in big houses. Other places like Tokyo have very high population density so people live in smaller houses or in apartment buildings. _36__ It depends on whether it is in a city or in the countryside and on how much money they have.‎ In big countries with a lot of space, many people have gardens and swimming pools even if they are not rich.‎ ‎_37__ They move around a lot finding fresh grass for animals or better weather. This means they need to take their home with them! The simplest way of doing this is with a tent.‎ In Central Asia, some people live in yurts (large round tents). These homes can last for many years. __38__ In Mongolia some people live in gers, which are very similar to yurts.‎ In America some people live in mobile homes. __39__ There are trailer parks (家庭拖车的停车场)where people can park their mobile homes, maybe for a night, or maybe for years.‎ Whatever your home is like, be thankful for it! __40__ Homeless people have very difficult lives.‎ A．These are homes on wheels!‎ B．Some people don't have homes.‎ C．Very rich people live in houses like this!‎ D．It protects people from the sand and sun.‎ E．The size of a person's home also depends.‎ F．Fathers pass the yurts they lived in on to their sons.‎ G．Some cultures in the world do not have fixed homes.‎ 第三部分：完形填空（满分30分）‎ No one is born a winner.
