This year, many schools have raised lunch prices to fight rising costs. Students pay about $2 a meal now. That is 27 cents more than last year. But they still get a good deal. The average cost for schools to produce one meal has gone up 30 cents, and is now $3.So, how do schools neither make money nor lose money? To start, the government pays for a small part of the difference. Schools have to make up the rest. Peggy Eller, a leader of school nutrition (营养) services in Hudson, Wisconsin, said her area is cutting costs by using fewer paper products and serving smaller portions (份). Well, portion control is one key to healthy eating!The push for more healthy food has grown in recent years. One in five kids aged 6 to 19 is overweight. Being overweight can cause health problems. Many states passed laws that require schools to serve nutritious meals.Recently, more than 90% of all US schools have taken the fat away from lunches. Foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar have been replaced by lowfat milk, fresh fruits and vegetables. These new portions on lunch menus have encouraged kids to change their eating habits. “It makes it easier to try new things at home，” said Savanna Mackey, a Florida fifthgrader.Students need healthy meals to grow strong and do well in school. The soaring food prices won't stand in the way, says school nutritionist Janey Thornton. “We'll just be more clever in how we do things.”语篇解读：尽管物价飞涨，但美国学校还是想尽一切办法保证为学生提供健康的营养午餐。21What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?AThe average price of school lunch foods.BThe schools' ways to deal with school lunch.CThe large number of kids buying school lunch.DThe fact that school lunch is getting more expensive.解析：选D主旨大意题。根据第一段中所列举的数字可知，该段主要介绍了学校提高午餐价格这一事实。22Many schools raise lunch prices because _.Athe cost of food has gone upBthey are serving larger portionsCthey want to make more moneyDthere are more healthy food included解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“.to fight rising costs.”以及该段最后一句可知，许多学校提高午餐价格的原因是物价的上涨。23The growing push for more healthy food is mainly caused by _.Athe government's callBmany states' passing lawsCmany kids' being overweightDchanges in people's eating habits解析：选C细节理解题。第三段首先介绍了近年来的一个趋势：力争提供更多健康食品。第二、三句接着介绍了原因，即许多孩子都超重了，而超重会导致许多健康问题的出现。24The underlined word “soaring” in the last paragraph means “_”AfixedBrising quicklyCchangingDfalling quickly解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句中的“rising costs”可知，食品价格不断上涨导致学校午餐成本不断增高。画线词修饰food prices，故其意义与rising一致。 BThe increase in tuition fees (学费) has led to a “clear drop” in the number of English students applying for university places this autumn. There are 15,000 “missing” applicants this academic year, according to the Independent Commission on Fees. Chairman Will Hutton said: “We're asking our young men and women to have more debt than any other country in the world it's higher than the average debt in the US. It's not clear whether those lost students this year will return next year, or if it's a storm warming of a worrying trend.”But the commission's report says there does not seem to be an impact on poorer communities. The commission found there was no significant change in the application rate to the key universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge. The decline (下降) in England has not been mirrored in other parts of the UK where fees have not been raised, and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population. Students from Scotland attending Scottish universities do not pay fees, while the Welsh Assembly says it will pay fees above 3,465 for Welsh students attending UK institutions.The average tuition fee at English universities this year is 8,385, rising to 8,507 next year. UK and EU students have access to governmentbacked loans to pay the fees. And the survey of 1,000 pupils aged 1518, carried out this April, found that the majority expected to go on to higher education as people continue to understand that university remains a good long term investment in their future.A spokeswoman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which is responsible for universities, said: “Students shouldn't be forced to put off going to university for financial reasons. Most students will not have to pay in advance, and no one will have to start paying back their student loan until they start to earn at least 21,000 per year.”语篇解读：根据英国某部门的调查发现大学学费的增加导致了申请大学的学生数目明显下降，但是申请牛津和剑桥大学等名牌大学的学生数没有明显变化，同时还有人指出在某些免费或者学费没有增加的地区学生数也在下降，其原因是年轻人的数量减少了。25From the first paragraph, we know that _.Ait's a trend that English students are dropping out of schoolBthe rising tuition fees have a great effect on English studentsCthe lost English students will find their way backDmany English students are missing the final examinations解析：选B细节理解题。由文章首句可知在英国学费的增加对学生有着很大影响，故答案选B。26Why is there still a drop of applicants though fees have not been raised?ABecause the students live in poor communities.BBecause Welsh students will pay fees above3,465.CBecause education is free for Scottish students.DBecause there are less young students in the area.解析：选D细节理解题。从文章第二段第三句中“and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population.”可知在某些地区学生数目的下降是由于适龄人口的减少造成的，选D。27What's the students' attitude to universities in the survey?AMost of them are willing to go to university.BThey feel universities takes up too much time.CThey will stop applying for university places this autumn.DThey are anxious to go to a key university.解析：选A细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句中“the majority expected to go on to higher education”可以判断大多数学生们希望上大学，选A。28The spokeswoman in the last paragraph advises students to _.Aput off going to university Breduce the anxiety about the rising feesCpay for the fees in advance Dpay back their loan soon after graduation解析：选B细节理解题。在文章末段发言人提到“Students shouldn't be forced to put off going to university for financial reasons.”由此判断答案选B。C One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely's near_miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train，” she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A mapmaker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computerbased locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.语篇解读：随着时代的发展，科技越来越先进，人类也越来越依赖科技，但有时候科技也会给人们带来麻烦，文章中作者将会告诉我们什么呢？让我们去了解一下吧！29What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?AShe was not familiar with the road.BIt was dark and raining heavily then.CThe railway workers failed to give the signal.DHer GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.解析：选D推理判断题。从文章第二段的第一句和第四句可知，她认为是GPS导航仪的缘故。故选D项。30The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by “_”Aclose hitBheavy lossCnarrow escapeDbig mistake解析：选C词义猜测题。文章第一段中提到她的汽车被火车撞飞有一公里远，而当时她不在车里面。由此可知，她是死里逃生。故选C项。narrow escape“死里逃生”。31Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?AModern technology is what we can't live without.BDigital technology often falls short of our expectation.CDigital devices are more reliable than they used to be.DGPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.解析：选B细节理解题。从文章第三段和第四段中我们不难推知，Rick Stevenson认为有时候科技并不能达到人们的期望。故选B项。32What is the real concern of the writer of this article?AThe major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.BThe relationship between humans and technology.CThe shortcomings of digital devices we use.DThe human unawareness of technical problems.解析：选B主旨大意题。从全文倒数第二段中的“The game between . amusing and complex .”和最后一段的“If there is such a way, it should involve more than .”可知，作者认为人类与高科技设备之间的关系很复杂，暗示了作者真正关注的是科技与人类的关系。故选B项。DMost people now remember Albert Einstein for being the greatest scientist of World War .When the holocaust (大屠杀) came, Albert had to leave Germany with many other Jewish scientists.Before he moved to the United States, he had worked out the famous Theory of Relativity, which changed the way of people looking at the universe.Besides this, he also had something to do with the invention of the most powerful weapon, the nuclear bomb.He was warning America about Germany's secret weapon also known as the nuclear bomb.People thought that he and the other scientists were crazy with their ideas.The scientists were trying to tell the president but he was too busy and thought it was nonsense.They tried getting to his wife Eleanor Roosevelt but it didn't work.Then Albert remembered that Franklin loved history so he wrote a letter telling him about Napoleon and how he didn't listen to one of his admirals about the British's metal boat.Napoleon thought it was nonsense and lost that battle.So Franklin Roosevelt didn't want to be like Napoleon and decided to build the bomb before Germany though it would be costly.To some degree the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan helped the Americans win the War.But at the same time it has also become a new threat to the world peace from then on.Maybe, if Albert had known about this, he would never have written that letter.Who knows?语篇解读：爱因斯坦作为划时代的一位科学家而家喻户晓，他的著名理论相对论，影响了整个世界。而科学家鼓动美国总统制造核弹的经过却鲜为人知33When did Albert Einstein leave Germany?ABefore he worked out his famous Theory of Relativity.BBefore he knew that the Germans were trying to make nuclear bombs.CAfter he published his famous Theory of Relativity.DAfter he knew that the Americans wanted to make nuclear bombs.解析：选C细节理解题。第二段第一句明确交代爱因斯坦是在创立相对论后离开德国。34What did Albert Einstein write in his letter to Franklin?AThe importance of Napoleon.BThe importance of the most modern weapon.CHis idea on how to make nuclear bombs.DThe relation between history and the war.解析：选B推理判断题。由第三段的内容可推知，信的内容主要是通过拿破仑的教训强调现代化武器的重要性。35Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?AEinstein and the nuclear bombBTheory of Relativity and the nuclear bombCThe history of the nuclear bombDWorld War and the nuclear bomb解析：选A标题归纳题。相对论对制造核弹有没有理论指导意义，文章没有提及，可排除B；文章也未提及核弹的历史，可排除C；D选项过于宽泛。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 Truth about Overboiled VegetablesThe truth has finally appeared. Soggy vegetables overboiled vegetables, are good for you. This news, which is now official, will bring great joy to thousands of retired school chefs that fine body of men and women, whose confirmed approach to food shaped our childhoods. They boiled their lives away in kitchens. _36_ They boiled everything and they boiled it forever. It was not only in schools that the great vegetableboilers practiced their art. _37_ In some parts of England, no family was without one. The stove was controlled by a sweating mother who stuck a fork into the vegetables excessively until it met no resistance. Until last week, it was fashionable to make fun of those fine men and women. _38_ I remember switching on the television a couple of years ago and having to listen to a lecture by Delia Smith on the dangers of overcooked vegetables. She made me feel like a criminal. I am not very fond of vegetables. _39_ Soggy carrots are horrible, but at
