Here are the ones on last years list.The Ultimate Alarm ClockIts hard to believe that an alarm clock, called Hello Sense, can not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep. It can control the temperature, light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you have a perfect sleep environment. It can wake you up when youre in the lightest part of your sleep cycle and ready to wake. You can also speak to Sense to find out how well you sleep.The Folding Bike HelmetPeople refuse to wear a helmet because its thick and heavy. The morpher, a bike helmet made from interweaved(交织的) plastic is just as strong as the traditional ones, but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat, making it easier to carry.Shoes That Tie ThemselvesAlmost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of shoes which tie themselves. Now, thanks to Nike, the shoe dream is a reality. When you press a button near the tongue, the sneakers themselves tighten and loosen around your feet. Simplified shoe fastening could be helpful for the athletes during the petition, and its especially useful for people with the impaired(受损的) motor nerve.Sweet Potatoes That Could Save LivesIn sub-Saharan Africa, the lack of vitamin A puts children at risk of blindness, and other diseases. Plant scientists are helping some countries grow their own solutions in the form of sweet potatoes. And they fight against droughts. Last year, the orange-colored sweet potatoes won the World Food Prize and have been seen as a healthy crop for all.21. What do we know about Hello Sense?A. It shows you ways of sleeping well.B. It can serve as a light in your bedroom.C. It tries its best to improve your quality of sleep.D. It can wake you up at any time every day.22. Who are more suitable to wear shoes that tie themselves?A. Ones who enjoy seeing Back to the Future.B. Ones who practice running.C. Ones who are fans of Nike.D. Ones who have trouble with the motor nerve.23. From the last paragraph, we can infer Sweet Potatoes_.A. make a difference in sub-Saharan AfricaB. can keep children off any diseaseC. are often used to prevent droughtsD. have taken place of other crops in Africa24. Which column is the passage probably taken from?A. History. B. Travel. C. Science. D. Culture.BAs puters bee more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on puter keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the puter too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a puter as early as primary school. And puter dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a puter.All the students interviewed say they usually use a puter.Its faster and easier to correct if using a puter. And thats why puters are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in puters increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a puter, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with puter keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes pulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.25. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.A. getting bored with B. getting dependent onC. being crazy about D. getting curious about26. The students interviewed prefer to write using a puter mainly because _.A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyB. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. puters have bee a trend and fashion in China27. Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writers emotions.B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.C. Handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.D. The writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting28. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. To Type or to Handwrite.B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C. Writing by puter Will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters. CCan you imagine what 680,000 tons of food look like? Thats the amount of food wasted in Britain each year, and at the top of the list of wasted food is bread. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten for breakfast, used for sandwiches for lunch and put in soups at dinner. Almost everyone in Britain buys bread. Bread is so important to the British that they use the word “bread” to mean “money” and the word “loaf”(一条面包) to mean “head”. So lets use our “loaves” to understand why so much “bread” is wasted! Even though bread is still sold in such a popular way and in such a large amount, that doesnt mean its made full use of. It seems people are simply buying much more than they need, so they throw away the bread that they dont need. Baker Chris Young explains that the British arent valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. “None of the bread that is thrown away is real breadhomemade or carefullymade bread, but is bought from the bread shop.” Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. “If you make something by yourself, you dont want to waste it because you know how much energy youve put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many its out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they dont have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and just bring it home to eat.” Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter.29. What can we infer from the passage?A. Bread plays an important part in British diet.B. Different British people like different foods.C. Bread will bee less popular in Britain.D. Bread is the favorite food for the British.30. If a British boss says to his workers “Please bring your loaves here，” he _.A. wants his workers to eat healthilyB. advises his workers to buy more breadC. asks his workers to work more cleverlyD. promises to give his workers more money31. Mark Boyle believes that the British throw away much bread mainly because _.A. they are tired of eating breadB. they are too rich to value breadC. they dont like the taste of breadD. they dont put any energy into making bread32. Many British people fail to make bread by themselves at home because _.A. they are very busyB. they dont earn much moneyC. they bee lazier than beforeD. they dont know how to bake bread DHybrid cars （混合动力车） are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery electric motor to provide electric power.There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric engine running.Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”. The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and dont have to pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.33. Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars .A. have large engines to deal with acceleratingB. have conventional brakes to slow down the carC. have electric power to assist when neededD. have no energy consumption when stopping34. From the last paragraph we can learn that Hybrid cars .A. were first available in the USA B. will gain more popularityC. free their owners from tax D. are free to park anywhere in the city35. The main purpose of this text is to .A. show how hybrid cars slow down B. encourage people to buy hybrid carsC. inform people of a kind of energy-saving cars D. explain why hybrid cars use less energy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。On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more wonderful than a nice cool pool. 36 And it is pletely relaxing. Of course, if you have children, there are certain measures you should take to keep them safe, whether you have a pool in your backyard or you are going to a public pool. Go swimming together. No person should ever swim alone. Though many people do, the simple truth is that it only takes a second for people to bee injured or drown. 37 Having someone there with you can make the difference between life and death. This is especially true for young children. If your children is under the age of 5, you should never allow them to swim out of arms length. 38 Kids love to chase one another through the water and to splash and jump around. But it is important to teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings in the water, so that they do not accidentally knock into others, injuring them. Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous. Keep it locked. If you have a pool, you must have a locking gate around your pool. 39 Keep the gate locked at all times, even when you are in the pool. It is terrible for children to steal into the pool. Know the way out. 40 Make surethat they know where all ladders are and how to enter and get out of the pool properly. Although your children may be able to lift themselves out of the pool using the side, that is not the safest way to go.A. Dont play around in the pool.B. Be sure to show all children the proper way to exit the pool.C. Swimming under water is forbidden in the pool.D. This is to prevent children from entering the pool without your permission.E. Slipping into the water seems like the perfect way to deal with the heat.F. Something sad happens every year.G. Make sure kids know food should be eaten either before or after swimming.第二卷第三部分：英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It was a cold morning and there was almost nobody walking on the icy road.
