9. Electricity is one thing that we waste most.
10. The second thing we often waste is trees.
11. Food waste isn’t mentioned in the passage.
12. Use only what we need. Do not touch what we do not need. In this way, we can stop being wasteful.
【答案】9. T 10. F
11. F 12. T
【解析】
【原文】We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things. However, most of us usually waste some things.
Electricity is one thing that we waste most. Lights, TVs, radios and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them. We should turn them off when we do not need them. It takes less than a second to do it.
The second thing that we often waste is water. Fresh water is polluted, so it shouldn’t be wasted. It is only a simple matter of turning off a tap. I am sure anyone can do this if he wants to.
Another big waste is food. My mother used to cook so much food that much of it was thrown away. I told her we had wasted so much food. She thought I was right and now cooks only what we can eat.
It is bad to be wasteful. I found there is a simple way of not wasting things. That is to use only what we need. Do not touch what we do not need. In this way, we can stop being wasteful.

W: Well, trees are very important. They make our streets clean and beautiful. We should plant more trees in the city.
M: Right! Trees make our streets less noisy. We mustn’t cut down trees. We need more. Anything else?
W: When we do shopping, we’d better use paper bags instead of plastic ones. We should put litter into litter bins and we must keep quiet in public places.

Part 3 Reading and Writing
(第三部分 读写 共39分)
V. Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(24分)
A. Choose the best answer(选择最恰当的答案)(共6分)
Most of the energy we use for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (制造业) comes from fossil (化石) fuels. These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas.
There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the greenhouse effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have nothing left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃机) that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about14% efficient.
Scientists are working on another fuel-hydrogen (氢). There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly, it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.
Unfortunately, there are problems with hydrogen at the present time. We don’t know how to separate it from water cheaply, and there is difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. Solving these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge amounts of cheap coal, and there are still large oil and gas reserves (储藏量) elsewhere, the effects on the planet’s climate will be worse if they are still used.
48. ________ isn’t carbon-based fuel.
A. Hydrogen B. Natural gas C. Coal D. Oil
49 Using carbon-based fuels can ________.
A. cause traffic accidents B. cause floods and forest fires
C. produce hydrogen and oxygen D. produce carbon dioxide
50. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It’s difficult to store hydrogen.
B. Storing hydrogen is dangerous in high pressure tanks.
C. There are almost unlimited carbon-based fuels on the Earth.
D. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen.
51. The underlined word “global” means “________”.
A. ball-shaped B. world-wide C. atmosphere’s D. the Earth’s surface’s
52. Perhaps ________ can reduce the air pollution.
A. China, India and Australia B. a new technology to get hydrogen
C. the greenhouse effect D. the internal combustion engine
53. The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. Fossil Fuels’ Reserves B. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
C. The World’s Most Important Fuels D. Using New and Efficient Fuels
【答案】48. A 49. D 50. C 51. B 52. B 53. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讨论了当前我们使用的能源——化石燃料(如石油、煤炭和天然气)的缺点,以及科学家正在研究的替代能源——氢燃料的优缺点。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据“These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas.”可知,石油、煤炭和天然气都是碳基燃料,氢气不是。故选A。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据“When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming.”可知,使用碳基燃料时会产生二氧化碳。故选D。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据“when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have nothing left to burn.”可知,当我们用完所有的煤、石油和天然气时,我们就没有什么可烧的了,所以有无限的碳基燃料是错误的。故选C。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“burning hydrogen does not cause global warming”可知,燃烧氢气不会导致全球变暖,故推出划线部分global意为“全球的”。故选B。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据“It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels.”可知,也许一种获取氢气的新技术可以减少空气污染。故选B。
【53题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel.”及通读全文可知,本文介绍了我们正在使用的能源的缺点,及科学家正在研究新的能够替代的能源,故“使用新型高效燃料”符合本文标题。故选D。

Camping wild is a wonderful way to e___60___ the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with an increasing number of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more d___61___ to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not allowed in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, e___62___ in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making food without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite seems to go a___63___ this. So try to seek out more remote places with open spaces or perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: w___64___ in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guarantee a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on o___65___ and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than create a new spot. Always c___66___ what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made.

【导语】本文主要讲述了野外露营的好处、注意事项以及如何选择合适的露营地点。
【60题详解】
句意:野外露营是体验自然世界的一种绝妙方式,最好的情况是,它对环境的影响很小。此句用to do不定式作后置定语,修饰way,空处填动词原形。根据“the natural world”和“experiencing bad weather”以及首字母提示可知,野外露营是去体验大自然的。experience“体验”,动词。故填(e)xperience。
【61题详解】
句意:但随着越来越多的人想要逃离到荒野,不引人注目且不留痕迹地露营变得越来越困难。it is+形容词+to do sth“做某事是……的”,空处填形容词。根据“with an increasing number of people wanting to escape into the wilderness”和首字母提示可知,不引人注目地露营变得越来越困难。difficult“困难的”,形容词,与前面的more构成比较级。故填(d)ifficult。
【62题详解】
句意:例如,在苏格兰的偏远地区野外露营是可以的,但在英格兰,你必须征得土地所有者的许可,除非是在国家公园。根据“in England you must ask the landowner’s permission”和首字母提示可知,除了国家公园,在其他地方露营要征得土地所有者许可。except“除了”,介词。故填(e)xcept。
【63题详解】
句意:一个繁忙、设备齐全的露营地似乎与此相反。根据“Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making food without modern conveniences.”和首字母提示可知,前后两种情况正好相反,设备齐全并不能好好体验大自然。go against“违背”,against“反对”,介词。故填(a)gainst。
【64题详解】
句意:更好的是,找一个没有道路通达的露营地:步行进入才能真正冒险。根据“find a campsite with no road access”和备选词汇可知,此处指步行进入营地。空处位于makes前,填动名词作主语。walk“走路”,动词,动名词为walking。故填(w)alking。
【65题详解】
句意:选择一个有隐私且对他人和环境影响最小的露营地。根据“minimum influence on”和备选词汇可知,选择的露营地点最好不要影响其他人和环境。others“其他人”,代词。故填(o)thers。
【66题详解】
句意:始终考虑你可能对自然世界产生的影响。分析句子结构可知,此处是表示提醒的祈使句,空处填动词原形。根据“Avoid damaging plants.”和首字母提示可知,露营时要考虑到不要破坏环境。consider“考虑”,动词。故填(c)onsider。

Answer the questions. (回答问题)
Just before midnight on July the 31st, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a huge sound. The frightened skiers rushed to where the noise came from and found that part of the hillside above the village had dropped down onto two buildings in which nineteen people had been sleeping.
As soon as the day broke, rescue workers began digging for people alive. They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped (围困) under the rocks. For two days, rescue workers never stopped digging. On Thursday evening they found the first body. The next day they found two more. They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when, at 5: 37 a. m. on Saturday morning, a special machine they were using found a small movement.
Immediately someone shouted to tell the workers to be silent. Everyone stopped talking, and no one moved. A fireman lay down over to a hole in a large piece of concrete (混凝土) and shouted down, “Can anyone hear me?” “I can hear you,” came the reply.
Worried that their digging could start more rocks falling down the mountain, rescue workers began carefully taking away the rocks and dirt on top of the trapped man. By 10 o’clock, a small hole had been made. At 10: 10 a. m. , rescue workers sent two tubes down through the hole, one carrying warm air and the other a warm drink. Then a microphone was passed through the hole so that they could talk to the man.
For the next seven hours, two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him. They found out that his name was Stuart Diver. By the time he was found, he was cold and hungry and had almost given up any hope of being rescued.
Finally, at 5: 17 p. m. on Saturday evening, Stuart was pulled out. Rescue workers all over the hillside began shouting with joy. In thousands of homes, people were also cheering as they watched the rescue on their television.
67. When did the disaster happen?
_____________________________
68. Why did the rescue workers use hand tools to dig for the people alive?
_____________________________
69. How did the rescue workers find Stuart Diver?
_____________________________
70. How long did it take the rescue workers to save Stuart from under the rubble (碎石)?
_____________________________
71. How was the whole rescue?
_____________________________
【答案】67. Just before midnight on July the 31st, 1997.
68. Because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped under the rocks.
69. By using a special machine.
70. It took them nearly/about 12 hours. /Nearly/About 12 hours.
71. It was tough. (言之有理即可)
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了1997年7月31日Thredbo村发生山体滑坡,救援人员经过长时间的努力,最终成功救出被困者Stuart Diver的故事。
【67题详解】
根据第一段“Just before midnight on July the 31st, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a huge sound.”可知,灾难发生的时间是1997年7月31日午夜前。故填Just before midnight on July the 31st, 1997.
【68题详解】
根据第二段“They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped (围困) under the rocks.”可知,救援人员使用手工工具的原因是担心机器会伤害被困者。故填Because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped under the rocks.
【69题详解】
根据第二段“They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when, at 5. 37 a. m. on Saturday morning, a special machine they were using found a small movement.”可知,救援人员是通过一台特殊机器发现的Stuart Diver。故填By using a special machine.
【70题详解】
根据第五段“For the next seven hours, two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him.”和第六段“Finally, at 5. 17 p. m. on Saturday evening, Stuart was pulled out.”可推知,救援人员花费了大约12个小时来营救Stuart Diver。故填It took them nearly/about 12 hours. /Nearly/About 12 hours.
【71题详解】
阅读全文,救援人员使用手工工具去挖掘,一共花费了大约12个小时救出被困者。可推知整个救援过程很困难,故填It was tough. (开放性问答,结合原文,言之有理即可)

V. Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(24分)
A. Choose the best answer(选择最恰当的答案)(共6分)
Most of the energy we use for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (制造业) comes from fossil (化石) fuels. These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas.
There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the greenhouse effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have nothing left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃机) that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about14% efficient.
Scientists are working on another fuel-hydrogen (氢). There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly, it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.
Unfortunately, there are problems with hydrogen at the present time. We don’t know how to separate it from water cheaply, and there is difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. Solving these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge amounts of cheap coal, and there are still large oil and gas reserves (储藏量) elsewhere, the effects on the planet’s climate will be worse if they are still used.
48. ________ isn’t carbon-based fuel.
A. Hydrogen B. Natural gas C. Coal D. Oil
49. Using carbon-based fuels can ________.
A. cause traffic accidents B. cause floods and forest fires
C. produce hydrogen and oxygen D. produce carbon dioxide
50. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It’s difficult to store hydrogen.
B. Storing hydrogen is dangerous in high pressure tanks.
C. There are almost unlimited carbon-based fuels on the Earth.
D. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen.
51. The underlined word “global” means “________”.
A. ball-shaped B. world-wide C. atmosphere’s D. the Earth’s surface’s
52. Perhaps ________ can reduce the air pollution.
A. China, India and Australia B. a new technology to get hydrogen
C. the greenhouse effect D. the internal combustion engine
53. The best title for the passage is “________”.
A. Fossil Fuels’ Reserves B. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
C. The World’s Most Important Fuels D. Using New and Efficient Fuels
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词或词组完成短文)(6分)
Coconut Island is a beautiful island with coconut palms (椰子树), golden beaches and clear blue sea. I’m sorry, I made a ___54___. Coconut Island was a beautiful island. There are still coconut palms, golden beaches and clear blue sea but not like before. So, what happened?
Well, I have a friend who was there five years ago. Her photo album is full of wonderful pictures of empty beaches and small wooden bungalows (小屋) on the beach. She said you didn’t need to book, just ___55___ and you would find somewhere cheap, quiet and peaceful to live.
The beach now is ___56___ empty—it’s crowded all day! There is music from the cafes. Children are shouting and screaming, and the hotels are very expensive.
But perhaps this is ___57___? Not only are the roads better but there is also a new medical clinic. The local kids now speak English and there are many new businesses opening all the time. Once I saw an old woman trying to cross the road from her house to the shops, it’s no longer a small, quiet road but a large and very busy one. She looked ___58___ and waited for someone to walk with her. The children no longer ride bicycles but race around the island on motorbikes. It’s not so ___59___ either—my friend stayed in a bungalow on the beach that had no lock. Now the hotel manager says it’s a good idea to put things in the safe box.
Are things getting better or worse?
54. A. decision B. noise C. living D. mistake
55. A. showed up B. looked up C. woke up D. took up
56. A. even B. never C. ever D. also
57. A. danger B. history C. progress D. travel
58. A. hopeless B. brave C. excited D. nervous
