A
The prisoner had waited many months for help, but none had come. Now he felt he would do something to gain his freedom, to be free again to go about the world as he wished. But he could think of no way to run away.
He spent many hours thinking of his life before he was captured, regretting the mistakes he had made and dreaming of the joys he had known. And over and over he said to himself that he was being punished for no reason. He was guilty of no crime, but he had not been given a chance to explain the events which made him guilty.
Then one night the guard who sat outside the prisoner’s door fell asleep. When he noticed this, the prisoner was struck by a feeling of hope. Perhaps he could steal the keys while the guard was sleeping.
Silently the prisoner moved toward the guard. Very gently he lifted the ring of keys from the guard’s belt. Then he turned and crawled toward the door. Could he work the lock from the inside? The key turned and the door was opened. Within two

Three years ago, a Chinese packed his simple possessions into a rickshaw(三轮车), and pedaled (蹬车) his rickshaw all the way from China to Landon to "promote the Olympic spirit".After pedaling 37,500 miles through 16 countries ,he arrived in London in July,2012,just before the 30th Olympic Games.
Now, Mr.Chen Guanming, a 58-year-old farmer from China, wanted to do it again, pedaling his rickshaw to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil for the 2016 Olympics.
Using tickets donated by an airline, he arrived in London in July ,2013. Earlier this month he set off on the first leg of a trip which will be at least 5,800 miles. First ,he pedaled to Liverpool, where friends secured free transport of the rickshaw to Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, ready for Mr. Chen's journey south.
However, for a Chinese speaker with only four words of English - one of which is "toilet" - pedaling a rickshaw on England's highways is not easy. In Cambridgeshire he was stopped on the A14 when his rickshaw caused traffic jams.Near Stoke-on-Trent he again came to the attention of police, pedaling along the A50, a road heavily used by trucks.They offered him an escort(护送) to "more suitable roads"，but he refused. Asked why he insisted on using A-roads, Mr Chen said:"It's too complicated to use small roads because I don't have a GPS. I can recognise signs on bigger roads and know I'm going the right way.”
John Beeston helped him plan the journey to Rio. He joined Mr Chen on Monday as they said goodbye to the rickshaw at the Port of Liverpool. With the rickshaw already on its way to Canada, Mr Beeston had to find a way for his friend to travel and eventually an airline offered an "affordable" flight from Heathrow on Saturday. Mr. Chen will then continue the next leg of his Olympian journey, with his friend tracking his progress.
With his sights set on Rio, does Mr. Chen think 2016 will be the year he finally

returns to China?
"I will keep going.It is my job now to tell the people of the world about the Olympics and about peace. I'll never stop doing the job I love until I die." he said.
24.What do you know about Mr.Chen’s first global trip to the London Olympic Games?
A. He pedaled 37,500 kilometers on the trip.
B.It took him three years to arrive in London.
C. He traveled across 16 countries on the trip.
D. The police offered him an escort to Canada.
25.How did Mr.Chen Guanming get to London in July ,2013?
A. By plane. B. By ship. C. On foot. D. By bike.

China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil-shortages, car makers have announced their plans to develop hybrid（混合燃料）cars for the Chinese market. Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let’s have a look at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid car when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engine. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is going at a steady speed. A specially
- 12 -
designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra speed-up is needed.
Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the car’s gasoline engine is at rest. The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 kilometers per hour. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
The computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 kilometers per hour, when you step on the gas, you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at a high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries.
Any time you use the brake, the electric motor will work like a generator（发电机）and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a result, the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
32. Which of the following pictures can show how the power system of Prius works correctly?
（W—Wheel of the car, E.M—electric motor, G.E—gasoline engine, C—computer, B—batteries）
33. What is the most important characteristic of hybrid cars?
A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
B. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.
C. They use only 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
D. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
- 12 -
34. We can know from the report that ___________.
A. the batteries can be recharged at any time you want
B. using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work
C. the gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powering the car
D. the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles without being recharged
35. The author writes this passage mainly to ___________.
A. announce plans to develop hybrid cars for the Chinese market
B. let people know how to save their gasoline when driving a car
C. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
D. introduce a new kind of “green” car

A possible version:
High school is regarded as the best time of my life. Besides classes and homework, there’s something more that I especially treasure. In order to leave school with no regrets, I’ll make the best of my limited time to go over the lessons I’ve learned. At the same time, I’d like to show my gratitude to all the teachers who have given me so much help in the past three years. In addition, it’s necessary for me to have a talk with whoever might have misunderstood me, for I do care about the friendship between us. For the purpose of improving myself, I’ll ask my classmates for some advice which may be of great value to me. Last but not least, doing another good deed for my class is also my plan. With these things done, I will have no regrets in my high school life.
