An adventure in Africa
Focus
30th June
Dear Aihua,
How are you? Sorry I haven't written for so long. I've been quite busy arranging my holiday with my older brother, Colin. Colin and I plan to spend a few weeks traveling before he goes to university. We're going to visit so many exciting places and do lots of extraordinary things. We will go to Africa first. I can't wait! Have you been there?
We leave London on 15th July, and we'll be taking a flight to Morocco, in northern Africa. We're going to ride camels through the Sahara Desert. It's the biggest desert in the world—about the size of the US! I expect it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We'll be traveling by camel, with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground. I've heard that, in the Sahara, there is no shade during the day, and the stars seem especially brilliant on clear nights. I’ll bring a flashlight with me so that I'll be able to see in the dark. Altogether, the trip will take six days. That means I'll have to sit on a camel for almost a week—how uncomfortable! I hope my camel likes me!
After the trip by camel, we're going to travel down the River Nile. We'll start at Lake Victoria. A little way down the river from Lake Victoria, the water actually gets quite rough. So, we'll go white-water rafting. It's quite dangerous, but very exciting! You have to wear a helmet and a life jacket for protection, just in case you fall into the water.
Then, we're going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We'll live with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink whatever they do, including cow's blood! Do you think I should drink it?
Since we'll be walking for almost two weeks, I'll need to buy a large backpack in advance to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we'll walk across the land, following the tracks of wildlife such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We'll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they're dangerous, so that I can take some really good photographs. But don't worry about me. Our guides will have guns with them for defense—They can use the guns to scare the animals away if they come too near. I really want to see an elephant up close. Colin wants to see a giraffe.
After that, we'll be moving on to Tanzania, where we're going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people feel sick as the atmosphere gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure that we will get plenty of rest. The African part of our trip will take about four weeks. Afterwards, we're going to the Himalayas.
I send you postcards from all the different places we visit!
Love,
Toby

2010福建卷A 篇
F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success,
Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
57. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Fitzgerald’s life according to the passage?
a. He became addicted to drinking.
b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.
c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.
d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.
e. He failed to reorder his life.
f. He joined the army and met Zelda.

A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning.” I think half of then fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.
Gerner manages school facilities （设施）for Clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018,143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes(样品); They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.
Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. ”One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation（朝向）,” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”
Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. ”I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says.” Gerner says.” Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.” But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power.” You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.
64. Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?
A. Assessment－Prototype－Design－Construction.
B. Assessment－Design－Prototype－Construction.
C. Design－Assessment－Prototype－Construction.
D. Design－Prototype－Assessment－Construction.

◆ Listen to the text and grasp the general spirit of the text
Are you tired of seeing the same view out of your window? Do you wish you could travel and see beautiful places all over the world? In this section, you are going to do some research and make a travel leaflet for a place you want to visit.
Shangri-la
Would you like the chance to discover a place of mystery and beauty in the south-west of China? If your answer is “yes”, consider a trip to Shangri-la!
How to get there
Start in the city of Dali and drive northwards along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway until you reach Zhongdian (Shangri-la), the capital of Diqing. Zhongdian is 659 kilometers away from Kunming, and there are regular flights between the two cities.
The world-famous Chinese Shangri-la
The word 'Shangri-la' first appeared in a classic novel by James Hilton. Today, Shangri-la becomes a common English word meaning haven on earth. Hilton described a beautiful kingdom where three rivers joined together, steep mountains reached to the sky, and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who had discovered how to stay young forever.
Which place could officially take the name of this wonderful land? There were arguments over which tourist spot would win the name of Shangri-la. Many years after the book was published, some people realized that the Shangri-la of the novel was a perfect match for Zhongdian in Yunnan Province, China. In September 1997, the government of Yunnan Province announced that Zhongdian was the Shangri-la of Hilton's story.
What you will see in Shangri-la
Three mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for words.
Below the mountains, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds against the rich countryside. Sheep, cattle and horses wander on the green grass, and the surrounding forests are home to many birds and animals. In this peaceful land, people live in perfect harmony with nature, far away from the noisy and worry of the outside world.
Nature has provided Shangri-la with endless natural treasures, making the land a happy home for the local people.
What the weather is like
The weather changes so quickly that people say you can experience four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest.

Protection of Environment
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. The polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.
To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.
In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. Firstly, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Secondly, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

The pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization（数字化）of everyday life.
Set to open in 2013, the £188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.
As digital media（媒介）is important to its idea, the project is already providing chances for
some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.
Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning, “The aim is to mix the physical with the digital. Providing 24-hour services which can be used through, many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”
The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual（虚拟的）LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is the early stages of development is an online library of figures of the city being built up by a content company in Cahoots, in which users with the encouraged to add to and comment on the material.
Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library’s and services open to citizens as never before.”

任务型读写: 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Real policemen hardly recognize any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolved round (围绕；以…为目的) criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a detective (侦探) really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.
A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with (依照) the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever
do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If the detective has to deceive (欺骗) the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-minded — as he see it — of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating（消除） crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical (愤世嫉俗的).
