　　For days, Andy and his sons tried to get pictures.They did not want the sheep to hear them orsee them, so they walked softly.They hid behind rocks, but the sheep always ran away.

　　Then one day, Andy and his sons walked around a big rock.They met some sheep face toface.But the sheep didn' t run ! "Now I know why the sheep run away," Andy said."They runbecause we come up behind them.From now on,~ we will stay where they can see us."

　　It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per personon the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets(装置), a reading-material explosion, apopular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.

　　But, much as nature finds ways--such as disease--to control overpopulation, city life hasthrown up impediments(障碍) to bags.to enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, andperhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless.The cityhas countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight, and you're never sure, when leavinghome for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.

　　Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game.Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main ReadingRoom as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.You are no longer allowed tobring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library.If you walk in with one,you must leave it at the coat check.You may keep its contents with you, however, and the libraryprovides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.

　　What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather thanbringing things in.A librarian said on the second day, "It' s a big change for people who usedcome and bring in half their flats.The people who use the library responsibly will continue to doso.The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to.

　　27.What does the writer mainly talk about?

　　A.The history of the bag rules.

　　B.The importance of using libraries.

　　C.Different bags used in our daily life.

　　D.The use of bags and the rules against it.

　　28.The bag rules in many public buildings require people to

　　A.leave the places bagless

　　B.pay for bringing in bags

　　C.have their bags examined

　　D.use big clear plastic bags

　　29.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?

　　A.to change people' s way of reading.

　　B.to help people better use the library.

　　C.to prevent people stealing from the library.

　　D.to stop people from bringing in dangerous things.

　　30.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?

　　A.Excellent.

　　B.Limited.

　　C.Harmful.

　　D.Unclear.

　　You might be surprised to know that bicycles have existed for about two hundred years, but noone is sure who first made this popular two-wheeled machine.

　　31 The front wheel was much bigger than the back one, and also there weren't any pedals (踏板), Riders had to move themselves forward by pushing their feet against the ground.

　　32 In 1879 an Englishman had the idea of connecting them to the back wheel with achain.Gears(此轮), which made things much easier for those cycling uphill, first appeared in the1890s.

　　There are now about one billion bicycles in the world.33 They have to compete with carson the streets of all the world' s cities, and the two forms of transport don' t always mix well.InLondon in 2005, for example, over 300 cyclists were either killed or seriously hurt in accidents.

　　Because bicycles are much more environmentally friendly than cars, now many governmentsencourage people to ride rather than drive.34 The number of yearly journeys made by bicyclein London has increased 50% over the last five years.

　　However, although one in three British people owns a bicycle, they still don't use themnearly as much as they could35.

　　It is hoped that more people will rely on bicycles to move around.The reasons are obvious--cycling helps to protect the environment, keep us fit, and it is often not only cheaper but also quicker than travelling by car in many cases.

　　A.Pedals fmally arrived in the 1840s.

　　B.Cycling is on the rise in the Unilted Kingdom.

　　C.Bicycles are used for only 2 % of journeys in the UK.

　　D.The first person who made a bicycle was an Englishman.

　　E.The number of bicycles is twice more than that of cars.

　　F.The early models didn' t look much like the bicycles of today.

　　G.Cycling helps improve people's health.

　　第一节短文理解

　　参考译文

　　Textl

　　安迪住在洛基山的高处。他在山上捕猎野生动物，也带其他人打猎。那是他的工作。

　　一天，一封信给安迪带来了一份新的工作。这个工作不但改变了他对动物的看法，也改变了他的狩猎方式。信中写道：“我想写一篇关于大角羊的故事。我需要为故事配上图片。请问你可以为我拍摄大角羊的照片吗?”

　　安迪的两个儿子希望父亲接受这份工作。“我们会帮助你的!”他们说。大角羊野性很强。安迪知道给大角羊拍摄照片会很困难。“但是为什么不试试呢?”他的儿子们说。

　　几天来。安迪和他的儿子们努力尝试拍摄大角羊的照片。他们不希望被大角羊发现，所以他们走路很轻。他们躲在岩石的后面，但是大角羊总会逃掉。

　　然而有一天，安迪和他的儿子们走到一块大岩石附近。他们和几只大角羊撞个正着。但是这些羊并没有逃跑!“现在我知道那些羊为什么跑掉了，”安迪说，“它们逃跑是因为我们悄悄地跟在它们后面。从现在开始。我们就待在它们能看见我们的地方。”

　　第二天，安迪看见羊群就站在开阔处。他和他的儿子们朝羊群走过去。他们没有试着躲藏，但是走得非常慢。他们知道只要稍微走快一点都会吓跑羊群。

　　“不要直视那些羊，”安迪说，“野生动物不喜欢被盯着看。他们会逃跑的。”他们朝这边看看朝那边瞅瞅，越来越接近羊群。一会儿，他们就走到足够给羊群拍摄清晰照片的位置了。他们跟这些野生羊群成了朋友，还帮那位作家拍摄了很多精彩的照片。从那时起，他们再也没有捕猎过大角羊。

　　21.D【精析l细节题。题干意为“安迪得到了一份什么新工作?”文章第二段最后“The letter said：‘l want to write a story about bighornsheep.1 need pictures to go with my story.Will you get pictures ofthe sheep for me?”提到，安迪收到了一封信，信中作家请求他帮忙拍摄大角羊的照片。文章的最后一段也提到他们帮作家拍摄了很多照片。故D正确。

　　22.B【精析】细节题。题干意为“接近大角羊最好的方法是什么?”根据第七段第一句安迪的口述“Don’t look fight at the sheep，”可知。不能直视羊群，所以排除A。第六段最后一句“They knewthat any fast move will frighten them away.”说明走路速度过快也会吓跑羊群，更不用说跑了，所以排除c。第四段最后一句“They hid behind rocks，but the sheep always fan away.”说明跟在羊群后面，羊群也会逃跑，故排除D。结合第五段及第六段内

　　容可知，慢慢地从正面接近大角羊是正确的方式，故B正确。

　　23.D【精析】归纳题。题干意为“安迪从这份新工作中收获了什么?”文章第一段中提及这份工作带给安迪的变化，最后一段也说明他们和大角羊成了朋友，安迪通过这份工作对大角羊有了更多的了解。A、B、C三项在文中都没有体现，故D正确。

　　在世界的每个地方，动植物都是生活在一起的。有些动物以吃植物为生。一些植物得以存活是因为食草动物会被其他天敌动物捕食。植物根部所需的肥沃土壤得益于蠕虫和其他生存于地下的非常微小的动物。绿植哺育着动物以及人类。

　　动植物的共存使得地球成为适宜居住的好地方。动植物之间互相给养。他们互相交换所需物品以维持生存。

　　动物呼吸空气，并在体内产生变化。当它们呼出气体时，其中包含一种被称为“碳”的物质。动物不能再用它们呼出的气体。但是，植物需要碳气体。植物吸入它们生长所需要的碳气体，呼出新鲜空气。植物通过碳和水生成食物。它们利用阳光完成这项工作，就如同机器借助汽油或电力维持运转。植物将生成的食物储存于它们的体内。但是，植物可以获得怎样的回报呢?很多的回报。植物从动物产生的碳和其他物质中生成食物，像蜜蜂这样的昆虫，它们将花粉从一朵花传到另一朵花，而这个花粉可以形成种子。鸟类和其他动物在种子生长出的地方吃到果实，又将种子带到可以让它们生长的地方。所以说，动物帮助了植物的再生。

　　24.B【精析】推断题。题干意为“下面哪个选项与第二段中的词组‘trade wim’意思最为接近?”由第二段最后一句“They trade forthings they both need to stay alive.”可知，他们互相交换所需物品以维持生存。故可以推断出划线部分的含义应该是互相交换的意思。故B正确。

　　25.A【精析】细节题。题干意为“与第四段中的‘电力’作对比的是什么?”由第四段第二句话中的“They use sunlight for this work…”可知，它们利用阳光完成这项工作，由此可以看出“电力”是用来和“阳光”作对比的，故A正确。

　　26.A【精析】归纳题。题干意为“文章的中心思想是什么?”全文基本可以分成两个部分。第一部分说明一些动物靠食草为生，植物为动物提供了生存养料。第二部分说明植物也可以借助动物获取一定的生存养料。所以两者是相辅相成的。故A正确。

　　Text 3

　　据报道，包一直在增大，而且现今在街上人们手中包的数量比历史上任何时候都要多。如果属实的话，可以将原因归结为广泛使用的电器类或电子类产品，大量的阅读材料，以及紧身衣或是没有口袋的服装的流行，又或者是由于海外低成本的包袋制造劳动力。

　　但是，如同大自然利用疾病来控制过量人口一样，城市化的生活为包的使用设置了很多障碍。携带包进入很多公共场所，诸如剧院、球场，或许还有地铁站时都需要通过检查或选择不带包进入。城市里有数不尽的包的使用规则。想要一直带着包很困难，而且出门之前你永远不能确定只带一个包会不会是个糟糕的主意。

　　上个星期，纽约市图书馆也实行了相关规定。学生、研究者、作家、史学家以及其他那些习惯于将玫瑰主阅览室当作办公室或者普通阅览室使用并且使用了很多年的读者们遭遇到了新规定。新规规定不允许读者携带超过l4英寸长、11英寸宽的包进入图书馆。如果携带有超过

　　此尺寸的包，请放置于衣帽间。但是请随身携带包内私人物品，图书馆可以提供大号的透明塑料袋用于放置物品。请读者于离开时取回自己的包并同时归还塑料袋。

　　这种情况更多的是为了预防有人将图书资料带离图书馆，而不是担心他们带进的物品。新规实施的第二天，一位图书馆管理人员表示，“对于那些习惯于随身携带很多物品的人来说，这是个很大的变化。负责任的读者将会支持这一规定，然而此规定并不能有效制止那些偷书者。”

　　27.D【精析】主旨题。题干意为“作者主要讲述的是什么?”全文述说了包袋使用的现状，接着又说明在城市中存在很多不允许携带包袋的地方或场合D项符合题意。文中其他三项在文中均没有体现，故D正确。

　　28.C【精析】细节题。题于意为“在许多公共场所，包的使用规则要求人们。”由文章第二段第二句“to enter many public

　　buildings，theatres，ballparks，and perhaps even underground railway stations.Youmust go through a search of go bagless.”可知，

　　想要进入一些公共场所要么不带包，如果带了包都要接受检查。故C正确。

　　29.C【精析】细节题。题于意为“纽约市图书馆实施新规则的目的是什么?”由文章最后一段第一句“What the library is trying to prevent，in this case，is people taking things out，rather than bringingthings in.”可知，图书管新规的目的是为了防止个别人未经允许带出图书资料。故C正确。

　　30.B【精析】细节题。题于意为“图书馆理员认为新规则的效果如何?”由最后一段最后一句中的“The people who steal will confinue to get away with it，if they really want to.”可知，图书管理人员认为新规对于不同的人有不同的影响，但是那些真心想偷取图书资料的人不会受到太多的制约，所以新规的作用是有限的。故B正确。

　　第二节补全文章

　　参考译文

　　你可能会惊讶于自行车已有两百年的`历史了，但是没有人知道是谁发明了这个如此受欢迎的两个轮子的机器。

　　(31)早期的自行车并不是现在的样式。前轮比后轮大很多，而且没有踏板。骑乘的人要靠两脚蹬地才能使自行车前行。

　　(32)踏板出现于十九世纪四十年代。l897年，一位英国人想到用链条将踏板和后轮连接起来。十九世纪九十年代，齿轮被首次运用于自行车，这使得自行车能够更轻松地行驶于上坡路段。

　　现在世界上大约有十亿辆自行车。(33)它们的数量是汽车的两倍多.在所有城市的街道上，自行车都不得不和汽车竞争，而且作为两大主要交通方式，它们相处的并不融洽。例如2005年在伦敦，有超过300名骑自行车的人在交通事故中伤亡。

　　由于自行车比汽车更加环保安全，如今很多政府鼓励人们骑自行车而不是开车。(34)在英国，自行车的数量正在增加。在过去的五年里，英国骑自行车旅游人的数量增加了50%。

　　然而，尽管每三个英国人里就有一个人有自行车，但是他们使用的频率不够高。(35)骑自行车旅行的人只占到英国旅行人数总量的2%。希望更多的人骑自车旅行。理由很明显——自行车非常环保，骑自行车能保持身体健康，而且在很多情况下，骑自行车出行要比开汽车更便宜也更快捷。

　　31.F【精析】根据下文说自行车的前后轮大小不一，说明早期自行车与现代车的差别较大，此处应是早期自行车的样式与现在不同。故F正确。

　　32.A【精析】下文提到有人用链条将后轮与“them”连接，可见之前应该是自行车上的部件，而且是复数的名词。故A正确。

　　33.E【精析】上文说明自行车的数量较多，下文提到自行车和汽车进行比较。各选项中只有E将自行车的数量与汽车的数量进行了比较。故E正确。

　　34.B【精析】上文提及使用自行车的好处，下文提及骑自行车旅行数量的增加，只有B提到了数量增加。故B正确。

　　35.C【精析】根据上下文，此处内容应该为转折，说明拥有自行车的人不在少数，但使用率不高。故C正确。

　　那位出租车司机快到四十岁。他接上我，送我去住处。通常，无论我在哪里都喜欢与遇到的人简单地聊两句，下面这个经历也没有什么不同。

　　第二节语法填空

　　参考译文

　　旅行是一场美妙的探险。然而，乘坐飞机旅行会非常疲劳。下面是一些旅行小贴士，它们能有助于减轻你下一欲长途飞行的不适。

　　不要带太多行李。带着沉重的行李箱四处奔波一点也不好玩。实际上。你只需要携带换洗的衣物。选择那些可以互相搭配的衣服。例

　　如，带一条裤子和三件能与之搭配的上衣。

　　在你随身携带的行李中(可以登机的小包)，装入牙刷，药品，以及其他重要的私人物品。另外，再带几件衣服，万一行李箱丢失也可以安然度过。

　　订最早一班的飞机票。如果预订的是第一航班出发的飞机，航班延误的可能性就比较小。

　　遇到较长时间的飞行，带一只护颈枕登机。护颈枕可以有效减少压力和旅途疲劳。还可以避免长途旅行后出现的颈部疼痛。

　　56.are【精析】本题考查主谓一致。在“tlle following…”的句型中，谓语的数根据之后表语部分的数量来判断。由于下文提及的是“Soilletips”，故应填be动词的复数形式。

　　57.to early【精析】本题考查强调句型。“it is+aaj.+to do sth.”，所以应使用所给单词的不定式to CalTy。

　　60.personal【精析】本题考查词性转换。空格处需要的是形容词，修饰后面的中心名词“item”，所以将所给名词person转换为形容词personal。
