The family were rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things arent always what they seem.” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things arent always what they seem.” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldnt find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things arent always what they seem.”21.The younger angel was very angry because .A. the older angel treated the two families unfairly.B. the older angel killed the farmers cow. C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live. D. the angel of death took the cow away.22. Why did the older angel let the farmers cow die?A. Because she wanted to save the farmers wife.B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.C. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.D. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.23. The story tries to tell the reader that .A. the young should always learn from the old B. angels are always ready to help the poor.C. angels are always ready to help the rich. D. sometimes things are not what they seem. B It is important for countries to develop. Sometimes development can do more harm than good for a country. Therefore, this development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. It focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one that is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earths natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things. The list is almost endless. For all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. On top of this, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity. As people are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are becoming more and more popular.In many parts of the world, tentative(試驗性的) steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are training to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelectricity to provide power for their small villages. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world. This will mean good things for our future, our childrens future and our grandchildrens future.24. We know from the passage that sustainable development _.A. means to develop slowly B. can bring little good to the peopleC. has ended the environmental destruction D. is an idea being discussed25. It is important to preserve the natural resources because they _. A. consume the energy for important things B. are running out C. provide the energy for people to use D. are being produced at a high rate26. Hydroelectricity means _.A. using the sun to provide electricity B. using wind power to produce electricity C. using water power to produce electricity D. using water to protect the environment27. What is the authors attitude toward sustainable development? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. CCleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy-theyre given after all. Choice can be hard. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me, I had just turned 30 years old , and Id been married for a year, I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont , and I wasnt sure what to expect, MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage inventor, Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice, For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.28. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore? A. His dream of being an inventor. B. The support of his wife.C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet. D. Millions of exciting titles.29. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.C. He would be always having a doubt if he didnt try.D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.30. We can know from the passage that _.A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author B. the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC. the author might not regret if he failed the idea D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose D As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that weve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austens Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times. New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliots Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鳴) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, were able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”Its true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if were fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. Were changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience by the books that weve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps whats really strange is that we dont re-read more often. After all, we watch our favorite films again and we wouldnt think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.32. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to _. A. attract the attention of readers B. introduce the topic of the passageC. provide some background information D. show the similarity between re-readers33. The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to _. A. recite them B. re-read them C. recall them D. retell them34. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. call on different understandings of old booksB. focus on the mental health benefits of readingC. bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books35. It can be learned from the passage that _.A. reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）x_k_b_1根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Lately, there is a rising trend in families choosing to homeschool their child than send their child to a traditional educational institution. Lets look at some of the benefits of homeschooling. 來源:學,科,網1. Flexible Schedule Homeschooling enables a flexible schedule. 36 With homeschooling, your child can start homeschooling at 9 am or later depending on your preferred schedule. You can schedule your childs homeschooling education as you see fit with materials or subjects that may be not available in a traditional school. 2. Individual Attention With homeschooling, your child gets all the individual attention. For example, if your child is weak in maths, you could devote more time and energy to teaching maths. Your childs homeschooling schedule can be adjusted for that. For example, if your child is better at science than at maths, simply devote more homeschooling hours to maths and cut back on science. With homeschooling, the choice is yours. 37 3. Family Activity The schooling of the child can become an extended family activity. Examples are field trips and experiments. Plus, the child also receives more quality time with his/her parents. 38 The child is also free of any negative peer pressure or influences. 4. 39 With homeschooling, the child does not need to prove his/her abilities to other children. Parents are able to plan the learning program according to his strengths and weakness. Parents can also change the curriculum to suit the learning style of the child. 40 Some children even learn better from experiencing or seeing things in action.A. No peer pressure B. Religion LearningC. Traditional schools cant do that.D. There is more time for family bonding. E. For example, the child neednt wake up at 7 every morning.F. Plus, it is quite impossible to provide individual attention to all students.G. For example, some children learn better from reading while others need to write.第三部分：英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)：完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter.
