The bus is the most mon form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation，you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns，there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility，such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train，it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note： Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle，keep it close to you，preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can bee very crowded，but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?ASafer trips.BLonger service hours .CLower costs. DMore use of transport.22How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?ABy running special transport services.BBy offering fewer transportation options.CBy limiting their mobility on city buses.DBy providing free rides in towns and cities.23What is considered impolite on public transportation?ALowering your speaking voice. BPlacing backpacks at your feet.CStaying close to other passengers. DHaving your proof of payment at hand.BMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C.And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And shes not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you canif youre an animal.“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of wavesa weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was ing before it happened. “Im not surprised at all,” Smith said.24. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud callD. Because an earthquake had happened.25. According to Brandie Smith,_.A. many animals hearing is sharp B. earthquakes produce two types of waves C. primates usually gather together before a quake D. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake26. Which animal seems unable to sense quake? A. A giant panda.B. A flamingo.C. A lemur.D. A lizard.27. What is the best title for the passage? A. How animals survive a quake B. How animals differ from humans C. How animals behave before a quake D. How animals protect their young in a quakeCVitamin B could help lessen the effects of the most dangerous type of air pollution, according to a new study published recently. In the first study of its kind, a team of international researchers looked at the damage caused by one of the pollutants that has the most severe impact on health: PM2.5.Particulate matter, or PM, is a type of air pollutant consisting of small particles of different sizes. PM2.5 has a diameter of fewer than 2.5 micrometers，about 30 times smaller than a human hair. These particles are so small that they can go into our respiratory system (呼吸系统), resulting in lung and systemic inflammation (炎症) and stress.The team found that something as simple as a daily vitamin B supplement could potentially reduce the impact of the tiny particles on the human body，although they stressed that the research was in its early stages and the sample size was small.For this study, 10 volunteers were initially exposed to clean air and given a placebo(安慰剂) to check their responses. The group then took another placebo for four weeks before being exposed to heavily polluted air from downtown Toronto, where an estimated 1,000 cars pass every hour. The bad air was delivered to the volunteers through an“oxygen-type” face mask. The experiment was then repeated, with each volunteer taking a B vitamin supplement daily made up of 2.5 mg of folic acid, 50 mg of vitamin B6, and 1 mg of vitamin B12. B6 can be found in liver, chicken and nuts, and B12 in fish, meat, eggs, milk and some cereals.The researchers found that four weeks of B vitamin supplements reduced the damage of PM2.5 exposure by 28%76%. The results highlight how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight the harmful effects of PM2.5.28Why is PM2.5 harmful to our health?AIt pollutes and poisons the air. BIt is too much to be got rid of.CIt carries viruses and diseases. DIt is easily breathed in and damages our body.29What can we infer from Paragraph 3?AThe process of the research was not scientific.BThis kind of research has been done many times.CFurther studies are needed to confirm their findings.DVitamin B is hard to obtain in peoples daily life.30What is the text mainly about?AInternational researchers have a new finding.BVitamin B could reduce the damage of PM2.5.CParticulate matter does great harm to our health.DEmission control(减排) and regulation are badly needed.31The new study was probably published_ Ain a science journal Bon a government websiteCin a fashion magazine Din a medical textbook第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从对话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。Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.32_ In general,they can expect to live six or seven years more than men.One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.33. Between the ages of about 12 and 50,women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力).These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow.In fact,women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.34. They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections.This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men.The mon cold is a good example:women,on average,get fewer colds than men.35. Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging,but they believe that they do.Some think that a womans body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a mans.Others think that a mans body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.36.A.Women are also helped by their female genes.B.Therefore,women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.C.However,women,on average,live longer.D.The female hormones also protect the body in another way.E.Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.F.The biological factor plays an important part.G.Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.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19小题；每小题1分，满分19分)The students would never forget the lesson their philosophy professor had given about how to manage time.

Everyone who knew them couldnt help admiring them for their happy love.One day, the man was seriously injured and lying in hospital for many days without any consciousness. The woman guarded him by the bed almost all day and all night ,calling his name nonstop. A month passed and the man was still sleeping. She would go to the church and pray to God until her tears ran out. Finally, God was so moved by her that he decided to do her a special favor.God said,” I can help your lover recover if you should promise to be a butterfly for three years. Do you agree?” She said excitedly and firmly, “Yes, I do! Never will I regret (后悔)doing that.”The next day the woman changed into a butterfly, flying hurriedly to the hospital. It turned out that the man came to his consciousness and woke up, talking with a doctor. She couldnt hear what they were talking about because she couldnt fly into the room. What she could do was to watch her beloved through the windows helplessly.Another spring came and the butterfly was in a hurry to fly back to see the man, only to find that there was a pretty lady standing by him. At that moment, she was so shocked that she almost fell down from the sky. She could hardly believe her eyes. It was said that the man was seriously ill during Christmas and that that pretty female doctor took good care of him and that finally they fell in sweet love.The butterfly felt heartbroken. In the following days, she often saw the man take the woman to the top of the mountain to enjoy the sunrise and to the seaside to appreciate the sunset. All these should have belonged to her. But now they belonged to another woman.Paragraph1:The butterfly could do nothing but rest on the mans shoulder off and on._Paragraph2:God also felt sad and sighed to the butterfly,” Do you regret for what you have done?”_注意：1.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键短语2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已写好3.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语4.150字左右。
