When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold a pencil properly. He’d either wrap all his fingers around it or clasp（抓住）it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger. Through practice he managed to get it right when he was about eight. Now at 23, not only can he use a pencil competently, he’s using it to change the world, one stroke at a time.
Peter—who goes by the name Peter Draw—felt the desire to draw with a purpose after meeting Daniel, a teenager with cerebral palsy（脑瘫）, in November 2006. When Daniel first joined Peter’s drawing class at the Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore, Peter doubted if Daniel could even complete a drawing. But stroke by stroke the then 17-year-old did.
“His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time,” says Peter, who has since taken on some mega projects to raise awareness for his cause.
Last October, he earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for drawing the world’s largest caricature（人物漫画）. His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days.
And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches（素描）during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records.
24．When Peter was a kid, ________.
A．he had difficulty using his pencil B．he was unable to write a word
C．his fingers weren’t flexible D．he couldn’t practice writing
25．After Peter met Daniel, he intended to ________.
A．learn drawing like Daniel
B．become an action actor like Jackie Chan
C．win a place in the Guinness Book of Records
D．help children through his drawing
26．The underlined word “mega” in Paragraph 3 may mean “______”.
A．profitable B．impressive C．interesting D．scary
27．What do we know about Peter?
A．He drew the world’s largest caricature in three days.
B．He donated $ 6, 000 to build houses for the poor.
C．He drew 952 sketches in 24 hours to raise a lot of money.
D．He raised a lot of money for Daniel to treat his disease.
C
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry Ⅳ, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World WarⅡ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate
for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because ______.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
29. Which of the following best describes Henry Ⅳ's attitude to bathing?
A. Uninterested. B. Curious. C. Approving. D. Afraid.
30. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By following the order of time. B. By making comparisons.
C. By providing examples. D. By following the order of importance.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To present the change of views on dirt. D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D
The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal（地热的）energy.
Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting（提炼）fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal（煤）produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.
32. Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because ______.
A. the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
B. fossil fuels are nearly used up
C. it is free to use geothermal energy
D. geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
33. According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A. Coal is much more efficient than gas.
B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
D. The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.
34. Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of ______.
A. the life span of geothermal equipment
B. the nature of geothermal energy
C. the small buildings
D. geothermal power plants
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Geothermal energy has many advantages.
B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C. Fossil fuels are being run out of.
D. Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.

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。
As a senior year student, you may have so many pressures coming from so many directions that you can’t figure out what to do first.
36
When you have many things to do and a lot of demands on your time, you can lose sight of what’s important. One of the best ways to see the big picture—what you want out of life—is to lay out your goals.
Pressure Points and How to Deal with Them
Confused or overwhelmed—talk to someone you trust. 37 They may help you find solutions to your problems and worries.
Being too hard on yourself—ease up, take a break and do something you enjoy. Daydream, read a book, go out with friends—anything that helps you relax.
Problems, problems, problems—recognize your limits. It’s too stressful to try to deal with all your problems at once. 38
Goal-Setting Tips
It’s important to remember that goals belong to you—not to your parents, your teachers, or your friends. After you’ve set your goals, identify the skills you have to achieve those goals. 39 Try the library, your guidance adviser and teachers, and other people who could help you.
Goals exist to serve you. If your goal is something you no longer want, change it. Identify the barriers to getting your goals. 40 Don’t get depressed by a big, long-term goal—see what steps you can take to achieve it and set those steps down as short-term, “do-able” goals.
A. Discuss your concerns with a friend, parent or teacher.
B. If you’re not sure what skills you’ll need, do some research.
C. Balancing goals in life.
A. Choose what’s most urgent and set aside the rest until later.
B. Too much to do.
C. Consider ways to overcome them.
D. As long as you know what skill is important and what isn’t.

Poems can make you feel emotions, like anger or sadness, depending on the words and how they are put together. That is the 41 of poetry.
Poetry 42 even before humans knew how to read and write, dating back to around 3,000 BC. Some of the earliest poetry was 43 or sung, and was used as a way to record and pass down historical and religious stories and cultural 44 from one generation to the next. Since writing was not 45 then, certain sounds and rhymes were used to make these stories interesting and therefore, memorable.
There are 46 three types of ancient poetry. The first was an epic（史诗）or a long narrative poetry usually about a（n） 47 event. The second type was lyric（抒情的）poetry or poetry that 48 personal and emotional feelings. Finally there was dramatic poetry or stories written in verse and usually 49 like Greek tragedies（悲剧）and Shakespeare’s plays.
The 50 of the printing press（印刷机） in the 15th century brought poetry to the common man. This was 51 by several major literary periods, during which poetry 52 dramatic changes. It started with Europe’s Renaissance period from the 14th to the 16th century, which first helped poetry and poets like Shakespeare and Sir Waiter Raleigh become 53 .
The Romantic period saw 54 poems that expressed a poet’s joys, hopes and sorrows 55 a conversational tone. Then came the Victorian era, which saw the 56 of structured poems and the birth of modern “ 57 verse” poetry. American poet Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass is 58 to be the first example of free verse poetry.
Modern poetry is a 59 of all of these styles. We still see rhymes in children’s poems and in the popular African American styles of hip hop and rap music, which are a 60 of rhymed poetry put to a musical beat.

One possible version:
Dear Henry,
I hear you are quite interested in the art of Chinese sugar figurine. So I’d like to tell you something about this art. Sugar figurine is a traditional folk art of China. It has a long history while it is gradually disappearing. The origin of the sugar figurine is hard to confirm.
Sugar figurine uses malt sugar as its raw material and mixes with food coloring of blue, red, black and yellow. The art of sugar figurine involves different themes and varies in shape, but most of them are zodiac-themed. During the Spring Festival, the Chinese usually buy their children sugar figurines shaped in their own zodiac signs, hoping they grow stronger and healthier in the coming new year.
Above is what I know about sugar figurine, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: Hello, Mr.Jan Eric Frydman. You’re a frequent traveler, and we also know that you eat out twice a day. How come you are so fond of eating out?
M: When I got my first job back in1982 and started traveling, I had no other choice but to eat out. I found that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to find places that served food that made me feel good. The secret was the quality of the food and how well the food was prepare. I made an effort to find good restaurants as well as nice dishes.
W: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?
M: I’ve lived in many cities, and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me where to go to eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish Club’s magazine, and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together. Since I had all the facts about the restaurants I had been to, I started to do that.
W: How do you find restaurants?
M: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to people at a street market or take a walk and look for a place myself. I never ask a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go to empty restaurants, or places with menus difficult to understand.

M: At the beginning of the tour, we will start with the most important place in my town, which is the Plaza Leon. The Plaza Leon, which is more than one hundred years old, is the gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights and for parents and children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the plaza, which have wide sidewalks and are tree-lined. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Fernando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally, we come to Horatio Street, on which there are two universities. One of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it is my favourite street of all!
