And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The cars provide the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of service by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though, the American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to follow an exact timetable. And the freedom a car gives them is what Americans want most to have. The decrease of gas supplies has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that doesn’t use so much gas. 24. Why do we call the United States “a nation on wheels”? A. Because it first started making cars in large numbers B. Because there are various forms of transportation in the country. C. Because Americans like moving around in cars. D. Because transportation in the country is cheap and convenient. 25. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States? A. Americans enjoy sightseeing in different places. B. Americans like to go round freely. C. The United States is a very big country. D. Public transportation is not so efficient. 26. What is the disadvantage with air-service in the United States as mentioned in the passage? A. It uses a lot of fuel. B. It is not as comfortable as the cars. C. It costs a lot. D. It takes the longest routes. 27. What has become a big headache to the Americans? A. There is not enough gas as wanted. B. They have to invent new types of cars. C. Poor public transportation. D. The necessity of moving about. Ｃ Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all --- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid--- one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough. We find in such counties a far large number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such counties. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that is very bad to be shamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. 28. The writer of the passage thinks that____________. A. education can settle most of the world’s problems. B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world. C. free education won’t help to solve social problems.D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education 29. The writer wants to prove that______________. A. our society needs all kinds of jobs. B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor D. people with university degree often refuse to do “low” work 30. According to the passage, _________________. A. work with hands is dirty and shameful B. work with hands is low work C. work with hands is the most important D. we can’t regard work with hands as low work 31. The passage tells about _____________ of education. A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type Ｄ I have always found the Chinese to be very polite people. In particular, Chinese frequently compliment (称赞) foreign friends on their language skills, knowledge of Chinese culture, professional accomplishments, and personal health. Curiously, however, Chinese are as loath to accept a compliment as they are eager to give one. As many of my Chinese friends have explained, this is a sign of the Chinese virtue of modesty. I have noticed a difference, though, in the degree to which modesty is emphasized in the United States and China. In the US, we tend to place more emphasis on “seeking the truth from fact”, thus, Americans tend to accept a compliment with gratitude. Chinese on the other hand, tend to refuse the compliment, even when they know they deserve the credit or recognition which has been awarded them. I can imagine a Chinese basketball fan meeting Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. He might say, “Mr. Jordan, I am so happy to meet you. I just want to tell you, you are the best basketball player in the world; you’re the greatest!” to which Jordan would probably respond, “Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! I just to try to do my best every time I step on the court.” If an American met Deng Yaping, China’s premier pingpong player, he might say much the same thing: “Ms. Deng, you’re the best!” but as a Chinese, Deng would probably say, “No, I really don’t play all that well. You’re too much kind.” Plainly, Americans and Chinese have different ways of responding to praise. Ironically, many Americans might consider Ms. Deng’s response the less modest, because it is less truthful—and therefore less sincere. Americans generally place sincerity above manners; genuine gratitude for the praise serves as a substitute for protestations of modesty. After all, in the words of one of my closest Chinese friends, modesty taken to the extreme is pride. 32. What does the underlined word “loath” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Polite. B. Uncertain. C. Curious. D. Unwilling. 33. Why does the author mention Michael Jordan and Deng Yaping? A. To note they do as much as they can each time they play against others. B. To remind readers they are the best players in basketball and table tennis. C. To explain they deserve the credit or recognition for their great contributions. D. To show they as Chinese and Americans are different in accepting praise. 34. Why do Americans consider Ms. Deng’s response the less modest? A. They think sincerity matters the most. B. They think her reply is against the fact. C. They think she is too modest to believe. D. They think manners is more important. 35. In what column can you find this passage in a newspaper? A. Education. B. Sports. C. Culture. D. People. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两处为多余选项。 How to Feel Attractive and Be Confident of Yourself Feeling attractive and confident has little to do with your appearance and everything to do with how you feel about yourself on the inside.

Since 2011, the country 56 (grow) more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 57 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 58 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 59 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 60 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 61 (pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 62 (globe) fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 — when the government 63 (start) a soil-testing program 64 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while 65 (feed) its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele. 第四部分： 写作 （共两节， 满分 40分 ） 第一节（满分15分） 随着现代社会的发展和人民生活水平的提高，越来越多的人认识到了健康的重要性并开始重视健康生活。请结合下面的提示写一篇短文。 1: 健康的重要性。 2: 如何保持健康。 3: 你的观点。 注意： 1) 不要简单的逐字翻译，适当的发挥。 2) 词数80 左右， 文章开头已写好， 不计入总词数。 With the development of modern society and the improvement of people’s living standard, more and more people realise the importance of health. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。 I go to work by bus almost every day, although I have my own car, because it is cheaper and I like the feeling of being with others. I’m the kind of person who likes to watch people. I live in a small town, so I see many of the same people getting on the bus with me every day, on their way to and from work. For many months, I noticed an elderly man get on at one of the stops and always head to the back of the bus. He wore the same clothes every day.The clothes were well-worn, but clean. I could tell he led a simple life. I had never spoken to this gentleman, but he usually gave me a smile when he passed by. One day, it was snowing so I drove to work, for I didn’t want to be late. I noticed the gentleman standing on a street corner. He held a sign in his hand asking for money. I went home that day and wrote him a note, saying I was grateful for what I had in my life and that wanted to share some of it with him. In the note I wrote:"Hi, I am Larissa. Maybe I seem like a stranger to you, but I am on the same bus as you almost everyday. I saw you the other day on the street, and I hope this money can help you. I wish a pleasant week.” I put a small amount of money in an envelope(信封). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The note read:"Hi, Larissa.
