He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No, sir,” the men answered.The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “were on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.”“Thats a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine oclock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.21.One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _.A. to film a scene on the sea B. to find an actor and an actressC. to watch a beautiful sunset D. to meet the audience22.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.B. Because he was angry with his crew.C. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.D. Because it was his secretarys suggestion.23.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because _.A. it went well with the separation of the hero and heroineB. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningC. it was more moving than a sunriseD. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset24.After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands _.A. because he was moved to tearsB. as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroineBThe splendid aurora light displays that appear in Earths atmosphere around the north and south magnetic(磁的) poles were once mysterious phenomena. Now, scientists have data from satellites and ground-based observations from which we know that the aurora brilliance is a massive electrical discharge similar to that occurring in a neon sign.To understand the cause of auroras, first picture the Earth enclosed by its magnetosphere(磁层), a huge region created by the Earths magnetic field. Outside the magnetosphere, rushing toward the earth is the solar wind, a speedily moving body of ionized(离子化的) gases with its own magnetic field. Charged particles(粒子) in this solar wind speed earthward along the solar winds magnetic lines of force. The Earths magnetosphere is a barrier to the solar winds, and forces the charged particles of the solar wind to flow around the magnetosphere itself. But in the polar regions, the magnetic lines of force of the Earth and of the solar wind gather together. Here many of the solar winds charged particles break through the magnetosphere and enter Earths magnetic field. They then rush back and forth between the Earths magnetic poles very rapidly and ionize and excite the atoms of the upper atmosphere of the Earth, causing them to produce aurora radiations of visible light.The colors of an aurora depend on the atoms producing them. The leading greenish-white light es from low energy excitation of oxygen atoms. During huge magnetic storms oxygen atoms also undergo high energy excitation and produce pink light. Excited nitrogen(氮) atoms contribute bands of color varying from blue to violet. Viewed from outer space, auroras can be seen as dimly shining belts wrapped around each of the Earths magnetic poles. Each aurora hangs like a curtain of light stretching over the polar regions and into the higher latitudes. When the solar flares(闪光) that result in magnetic storms and aurora activity are very strong, aurora displays may extend as far as the southern regions of the United States.25.What is it that directly gives off aurora light?A. The Earths magnetic field.B. The solar winds magnetic field.C. The Earths ionized particles.D. The solar winds charged particles.26.What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. The appearance of auroras around the Earths poles.B. The periodic change in the display of auroras.C. The factors that cause the variety of colors in auroras.D. The covering area of auroras based on their colors.27.What can we infer from the passage?A. The magnetosphere increases the speed of particles from the solar wind.B. The color of greenish-white appears least frequently in an aurora display.C. Earths magnetic field contributes to the variety and difference of auroras colors.D. The strength of the solar flares has a positive effect on the extending distance of aurora.CA new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. From tomorrow, visitors to SampleTrends central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.For an annual membership fee of 60，users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than 250 worth of goods every year. The only catch is that shoppers are asked to plete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Known as try-vertising，the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback(反馈）before launching onto the open market. It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry. If everything goes well, countries such as Germany and France will give it a try. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind SampleTrend, said, “The concept behind SampleTrend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny.” The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place new products on the shelves at SampleTrend and wait for consumers to try them out.Customers plete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product. The feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. The SampleTrend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.28.The most attractive part of the idea for customers is that_.A. they only pay 60 for a life-long membershipB. they can help to make the products betterC. it wont take much time to finish the questionnaireD. they can take things home without paying for them29.The idea of try-vertising originates from_.A. Germany B. Britain C. Japan D. France30.The purpose of try-vertising is to_.A. get feedback for their new productsB. sell more products at Christmas timeC. encourage people to buy more productsD. give customers free products as gifts31.What does Michael Ghosh think of this business idea?A. Puzzling. B. Unpractical.C. Promising. D. Surprising.DNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your fort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures.He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier.“The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30yearold man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”，which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”He said，“The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”32.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?ATraveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.BIt is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.CIt is fortable to travel around without a friend.DTraveling abroad helps people to find new things.33.Traveling alone is challenging because_.Ayou have to make things on your ownBit is hard for you to prove yourself to othersCyou can only depend on yourself whatever happensDit will finally build your character34.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?AHe started traveling alone at an early age.BHe was once shot in the arm.CHe used to work as a salesman.DHis website inspires others a lot.35.What is the best title for the passage?ATravel Abroad BTravel UnacpaniedCTravel Light DTravel Wide and Far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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Parents Model Healthy EatingIt should e as no surprise that the more stressed parents are not work, the greater the burden on their family is. 36.After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.For years, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. They didnt look at the family as a whole, 37., adds a new wrinkle to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition.Moms work related stress is still a central factor in how well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking.38.The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.Its worth noting that the study looked mainly at low ine families who belonged to ethnic or minority groups. 39. But the implications are wide ranging.40.Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improves their eating habits.A. When it es to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role even kids.B. so the findings dont necessarily apply directly to other types of familiesC. But dads work related stress has a large impact, too.D. Yet, the kids stress may influence the families nutrition, tooE. and at the role of fathers in particularF. Its also probably not a surprise that his can negatively affect a familys nutritionG. It is parents who give their kids a good model to develop a good eating habit.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从题中所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。At the age of 13, I remember that my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays.
