And then I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me. 56 , he left his mothers side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother, and me.Great, I thought, now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete.As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasnt me he was after. It was my hat!I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(徽章).Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didnt seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands in awe.After this exchange, he still hadnt spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted（注意力分散） from my self-pity.Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, Mister, you sure are lucky.Yes, I said, I sure am.That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.24.

Unlike the closely related Andean condors with their white neck feathers, California condors are not much to see. Their dull black color, featherless head and neck and oversized feet are hardly signs of beauty oi strength. Their appeal begins to become evident when they take flight. California condors can fly almost effortlessly for hours, often covering hundreds of miles a day - far more than other creatures of the air. When it was discovered that the condor population was becoming dangerously small, scientists and zookeepers sought to increase condor numbers quickly to preserve as much of the species genetic(基因的) diversity as possible. From studying wild condors, they already knew that if a pair lost an egg, the birds would often produce another. So the first and sometimes second eggs laid by each female were removed, and artificially hatched. Such techniques quickly proved effective. Despite these successes, the effort to save California condors continues to have problems. Artificially hatched condors released(释放) to the wild have died at what to some people are alarmingly high rates. Others have had to be brought back again after they acted foolishly. Some of the odd behavior on the part of these re-released birds is hard to explain. At times they landed on peoples houses, walked across roads and airport runways, walked into park visitor centers and fast food restaurants, and took food offered by picnickers and fishermen. None are known to have died by doing so, though. Most recently, some of the first chicks hatched in the wild died after their parents fed them bottle caps, pieces of plastic and other man-made objects. Mike Wallace, a wildlife specialist at the San Diego Zoo, has suggested that some of the condors problems represent natural behavior that helps them survive. The real key to successful condor reintroduction lies in properly socializing young condors as members of a group that follow and learn from older, preferably adult birds. That, he argues, was missing from earlier condor releases to the wild.28. What is the California condors most impressive feature?A. Its beautiful colors.B. The large size of its neck and feet.C. Its remarkable flying ability.D. The similarity it has to the Andean condor.29. What did some of the condors released into the wild do?A. They adapted surprisingly quickly to their new surroundings. B. They died from eating too much fast food.C. They showed a tendency to seek out human contact.D. They kept changing their eating habits.30. In the initial stage of the conservation programme _.A. eggs were taken from the nests of wild condors B. female condors were caught and studied carefullyC. scientists and zookeepers tried to create genetic diversity D. condors were encouraged to produce a lot more eggs31. According to Mike Wallace, there will be fewer problems if _.A. young condors are trained not to eat man-made objectsB. young condors are taught appropriate behavior by adult birdsC. the chicks are surrounded by older birds when they hatchD. the chicks are released into the wild as soon as they hatchDThe world faces a great challenge; to change the high-carbon global economy in the next three decades to low-carbon. This requires directed technological change on a historic extent. It could well fail, and with failure will come a planet destroyed by climate change. At Tuesdays UN climate meeting, nations began the negotiations（谈判）to last through 2015 that are our last chance to change course and save the Earth. The reasons we need to change course on the economy, energy and environment are diverse（多样的） and interconnected. They include existence of extreme poverty（贫穷）and rising inequality; climate change; the destruction of biodiversity（生物多样性）； and, most generally, the many challenges of a large and growing world economy and population that press far too hard on the earths weak ecosystems（生态系统） and resources. The question is not to change but how to achieve it. The challenges of global change are great, not least high levels of deadness in the worlds economic and technological systems - industry, energy, transport, production and trade. The deadness of the global economy result from powerful reasons: long-term infrastructure（基础建设） and great technological challenges. The world needs to chart a new low-carbon energy course, but what will it be? Of course, different countries will make different choices and should be supported to do so. The problem of climate change is deeply unpleasant and it is filled with uncertainty. These considerations have so far caused 22 years of inaction（无作为）since the signing of the Framework Convention（条例） on Climate Change(UNFCCC). So how to move forward? Heres your take.32. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The economy system.B. The change of economy styles. C. The climate change.D. The UN climate meeting.33. We need a shift（转换）to a low carbon global economy because of _ . A. extreme poverty and rising inequalityB. the deadness of the global economy C. the destruction of animals homesD. limited world resources34. What caused the world economy to develop slowly? A. The global climate change.B. The imbalance between supply and demand. C. The gap between the rich and poor countries D. Infrastructure and great technological challenges.35. What will the author probably talk about next? A. How UNFCCC works.B. Why UNFCCC failed to work. C. What measures should be taken.D. How low-carbon energy courses are found.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。Taking good notes Have you ever stared at your heavy textbook, your piles of handouts and wished you knew just what questions your teacher planned to put on the next big test? Lacking a crystal ball, most students feel they have no choice but to look through all that material, drill it into their brains, and hope they can remember the right parts at test time. 36 If you learn the best ways to take good notes, you11 make the job of studying for tests a lot easier from now on. Keep up with your assigned textbook reading. Come to class with an interest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by thinking about and expecting the lecture and by pre-reading the text. 37 Date each days notes and leave wide margins (页边空白) . Dated notes guide you to the right material to study for a test. At test time, the extra margins give you room to add more information if you need it. 38 Write down main ideas and underline or highlight them. Main ideas give you the “big picture of information, the reasons why events took place. Write out a main idea whenever you think you hear one. _39 This kind of notetaking helps you connect related information, making it easier for you to remember it for a test later on. Use abbreviations and symbols to make notetaking easier. Here are a few simple ones: + plus, and = equal, same as, similar, like eg for example w/o without 40 If you write down something that doesnt make sense, talk to someone right away to clear up the problem.A. Write out a main idea.B. See your teacher or a classmate about confusing notes.C. Thats the hard way to study.D. This gives you an overall sense of what the text is about.E. Then use single words or short phrases to list related details that tie into the big idea.F. Also, the extra space will make it easier for you to find the material.G. When you are prepared, your teachers comments make more sense.第三部分 英语知识应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该选项标号涂黑。I have never learned as much math in my life as I did 1ast year.
