They inspect all campus buildings and test and maintain all sprinkler(喷水灭火装置) systems, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers (灭火器). They also provide educational programs on fire safety in the residence halls. Whenever you move to a new area, you should locate the fire alarm pull stations and the two exits nearest your room.Fire AlarmsThe floors of all campus buildings are equipped with manual(手动的) fire alarm systems which include fire alarm pull stations and pipes. Most are also equipped with automatic fire alarm systems consisting of heat detectors, smoke detectors and sprinklers. For your safety, never tamper with(胡乱摆弄) these systems. False fire alarms are illegal and may lead to imprisonment.Fire DrillsA fire drill will be conducted in your residence hall every semester. During a fire drill, please do the following:Take your room key and ID, close and lock the door to your room.Exit immediately from the nearest emergency exit; do not use a lift.Meet outside of your residence hall and wait for further instructions.Fire ExtinguishersFire extinguishers are located on each floor and in each apartment. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have been trained to do so. Irresponsible use of a fire extinguisher can create a dangerous situation for other residents and could result in damage to personal property. Misuse of a fire extinguisher will result in fines.Smoke DetectorsA smoke detector is on the ceiling in your room. Some buildings also have heat detectors on the ceilings. Do the following to ensure the safe operation of your smoke detector:If your smoke detector is working properly, the red light should be on. If the red light is not blinking(闪动), contact residence hall staff immediately.Do not cover or block your smoke detector in any way.If a smoke detector sets off an alarm and there is no fire or smoke, inform your hall staff.21What is the main duty of the fire prevention professionals?ATo provide part-time jobs for students. BTo lead the students to the nearest exits.CTo check and maintain fire prevention equipment.DTo train teachers to be fire prevention professionals.22What do the automatic fire alarm systems include?APipes and smoke detectors. BSmoke detectors and sprinklers.CFire alarm pull stations and pipes. DSprinklers and fire alarm pull stations.23In a fire drill, the students should _.Arush quickly to a lift Bgather at the nearest exitCshut the door and leave at once Dwait for instructions in the hall24What do we know about the use of fire extinguishers?AUsing them wrongly results in punishment.BIrresponsible use of them can damage them.CImproper use of them can destroy the apartment.DUsing them without a trainer present is forbidden.BGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.25According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more _.Aanxious to do wonders Bsensitive to others feelingsClikely to develop unpleasant habits Deager to explore the world around them26What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?ATo avoid jumping to conclusions. BTo stop plaining all the time.CTo follow the teachers advice. DTo admit mistakes honestly.27The bird watchers behavior shows that they _.Aare very patient in their observation Bare really fascinated by natureCcare only about the names of birds Dquestion the accuracy of the field guides28Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?AThe natural beauty isnt attractive to them.BThey focus on arriving at the camp in time.CThe forest in the dark is dangerous for them.DThey are keen to see rare birds at the destination.CI have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St, Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an un- controllable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Floridas mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.Im like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but cant create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I havent seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement munity in Ridge, and Im grateful that I dont have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I e back. Who says you cant go home?29Whats the difference between Florida and Long Island?AWinters in Florida are milder. BThe snowbirds in Florida are rarer.CWeather in Florida is severer. DFlorida is nearer to the ocean.30What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?AUnwillingness. BExpectation. CCoincidence. DMotivation.31Which of the following words can best describe the author?AImaginative and outspoken. BHard-working and serious.CHomesick and easy-going DAnxious and painful.32Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo describe his dream to be a free bird.BTo express his feeling of missing his hometown.CTo praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.DTo explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.DPlastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)，and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. qSo far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a mercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass-apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in xx.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax-also allows them to break down plastic Wax is a plex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, she explains. The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But pared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her teams findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process-not simply millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”33What can we learn about the worms in the study?AThey take plastics as their everyday food. BThey are newly evolved creatures.CThey can consume plastics. DThey wind up in landfills.34According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .Aidentify other means of the breakdown Bfind out the source of the enzymeCconfirm the research findings Dincrease the breakdown speed35It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .Ahelp to raise worms Bhelp make plastic bagsCbe used to clean the oceans Dbe produced in factories in future二、七选五（共10小题;每小题2分，满分10分）Earth is home to around 7,000 languages, around half of which are expected to disappear by 2100.Languages disappear for many reasons. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in. 36 Native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages.The United Nations ranks endangered languages according to their risk level. For example, a critically endangered language is one that even grandparents dont speak often. New Yorks Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An extinct language has no speakers. It is gone forever. Alaskas Eyak language is one example. 3738In the same way, different languages contribute to cultural diversity. Saving these languages benefits our understanding of other cultures. Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. A language may describe something in a way that is funny, too. In Welsh, it rains not cats and dogs, but old wives and walking sticks.The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. 39 However, its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real eback, itll probably get its start in schools. For nearly 100 years, public schools in Hawaii did not teach the Hawaiian language. Now students can keep learning in Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond.40 At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3,000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers.AThe last person who spoke it died in xx.BWhy should we save endangered languages?CVarious animals and plants benefit our environment.DWith just 5 speakers left, it is absolutely endangered.E. Can a language with zero native speakers e back to life?F. Sometimes societies force minorities to give up their language.G. The nonprofit group finds native speakers and records their stories.第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）When I first met my new parrot, Chico, his wings had been cut short and he was stuck on the earth just like us humans.

The routine lasted for two months _53_ suddenly Chico became _54_. The vet said that he had been infected with a disease from the pigeons in the _55_. Within a few days he died.I was very sad. The _56_ crossed my mind that if I had not set him free to fly, he would be still alive. But what _57_ is there in being a bird if you cant fly?Chico made his first _58_ for freedom on a late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours? You too can take a _59_ when the conditions are right, knowing you too, in your own way, were built to fly. If you dont set yourself free, what will be the _60_ of your life?41Abrought Bseated Ccaught Dchased42Afortable Bpainful Cpatient Danxious43Aattempt Bstage Cjourney Dpath44Aserious Bfirst Cincredible Daccessible45Aslowly Bgently Cmadly Dgracefully46Aground Bbranch Cwindow Dhouse47Amoved Bshocked Cdelighted Dexcited48Apatience Bexchange Crescue Descape49Atrick Bfasten Cseize Dexpect50Acage Bchain Cfood Dfeather51AAt last BAs usual COnce in a while DIn the meantime52Aout Boff Caway Dalone53Auntil Bwhile Csince Dalthough54Aactive Bweak Cannoying Dmiserable55Aforest Bmunity Ccountryside Dneighborhood56Afact Bthought Cconcern Ddetail57Aproblem Bmeaning Cinterest Dmistake58Arelief Bwillingness Cmunication Dbreakthrough59Abreath Blook Choliday Dchance60Asuccess Bpurpose Ccontribution Dimportance第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分55分）第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.根据汉语写出单词的正确形式61)Students are shown how to carry out a simple_(科学的) experiment.62)Mr White _(宣布) that he would go to China in February.63)Being_(暴露) to sunlight for too long will do harm to skin.64)The police _(怀疑) that Bill did it but he denied it.65)Roberts art _(收藏品) have been bought over the years.66)TB is
