It sounds crazy, but theres actually a very good reason. I live in a suburb(郊区) of Los Angeles, where people waste a lot and cause many environmental problems. Over time I have begun to feel unhappy living like that.I decided to see how simply I could live, so I stopped buying anything that came in a package or plastic bags. This helped somewhat, but there was still one big source of rubbish: food waste like fruit and vegetable peelings. It seemed a waste to throw them away. So thats why I bought the worms.I knew that earthworms did a lot of work in the soil, but I didnt think there was much for them to do in my apartment. After reading a book about how to recycle food waste into soil, I bought a big plastic box and filled it with dirt. Then I bought a kilogram of worms from a local fishing store and put them all into the box. I put the food waste Id collected on top and put the cover on. That night I was so afraid the worms would escape and I would wake up to find them all over the house.But that didnt happen. What did happen was that the worms ate my food waste, digested it, and what came out was very rich soil! It was really amazing to watch my rubbish disappear like that. I started growing vegetables, and used this soil to help them grow. It was a perfect cycle and thats how I know just how hard worms work by feasting. Thanks largely to the earthworms, I only throw away two small bags of rubbish every two months, and live very happily because of my simplicity.24. Why did the author decide to live simply? A.Because she decided to develop a new hobby. B.Because she was bored with such a wealthy life. C.Because she followed the people in Los Angeles.D.Because she didnt want to produce so much rubbish.25.The author decided to raise worms because she wanted _.

How did the author benefit from having the earthworms? A.She made some extra money by selling her worms. B.She started a new business of raising earthworms. C.She avoided waste and created soil for her plants. D.She didnt need to buy any vegetables or fruit.27. Which word best describes the author? A.Conventional. B.Creative. C.Confident. D.Cautious.CFilm director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to bee an explorer.In xx, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3D.In James Camerons fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”Cameron captured(获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented(记录) the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Camerons journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the oceans greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Camerons world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by being the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet. Its an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.28When did James Cameron really started exploring the sea? A. When he was in his childhood. B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic. C. Before he achieved great success in movies.D. After he made the 1989 undersea adventure.29What does the underlined phrase probably mean? A.

The great dream of an under sea film actor B. A film star exploring deep seaC. The first person to make films about the deep sea D. Cameron and his documentary filmDWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, its not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is mon courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.32. From the second paragraph, we can know that_ A. the writer is funny and polite B. the writers grandma is humorous C. family members should play tricks on each other D. we should relieve stress in any situation33. The phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can be replaced by_ A. laughing hard B. explaining carefully C. speaking loud D. keeping silent 34. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to_ A. talk about his own understanding of humor B. introduce a practical way to get through daily life C. encourage people to be humorous in daily life D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life.35. What is the authors attitude towards the present world? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Satisfied. D. Indifferent.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。How similar are language and music?Language is a part of our daily lives. Similarly, music is a part of many peoples lives, either listening to the radio on your drive to work or playing in an orchestra (管弦乐队). Both language and music play a huge role in our culture. 36 .In English we record language using a collection of letters. 37 Just as you are reading this collection of letters and find the meanings in it, musicians read notes and create meanings in the form of music which we can hear. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we can share experiences through time. Its exciting to be able to read the ideas or hear the position of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. 38 In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you dont like Britpop tunes, you may love Latin American music. 39 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the poser was or is feeling and allow us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you may want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happy mood. 40 I think we have all used music to express our emotions, often bining it with language in the form of lyrics(歌词).A. How do you know that I am angry?B. And here are some of their similarities.C. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music.D. Reading music is like learning a whole new language.E. Music, on the contrary, can be interpreted based on personal experience.F. In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down.G. You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use.第三部分：语言知识运用（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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work twojobs to afford my rent.
