B It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes (龙卷风), the most peaceful place is the centre: the eye of the storm. But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of The unis Wessels. It all started when Mr Wessels' wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine-year-old daughter that he was cutting grass in their yard while a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the storm. The photo, which has been shared widely on social media, is a masterclass in calmness. In it, the sockless Mr Wessels, dressed casually in summer shorts and sunglasses, is seen never being upset by the disastrous column of cloud. "I took the picture just to show my mum and dad in South Africa, 'Look, there's a tornado,' and now everyone is like, Why is your husband cutting the grass?" Cecilia told the Times Colonist. When asked later about the tornado's approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, "I vas keeping an eye on it," seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect. "Alberta, Canada," wrote one admiring Twitter user, "where men face the elements and do what needs to be done." A writer for Esquire magazine struck a pensive note: "1 can understand The unis," Peter Wade admitted, "sometimes when the world is raging (肆虐) outside, the only thing you can do is keep your small area of it." 24.How is Paragraph 1 developed? A. By listing theories. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.第 6 页 共 13 页 25.Why did Cecilia take the photo? A. To post it on social media. B. To record her husband's heroic act. C. To inform her parents of the tornado. D. To prove what is the most peaceful place. 26.Which may make Mr Wessels respected? A. His way of gardening. B. His calmness in the face of a tornado. C. His bravery in fighting the tornado D. His rich knowledge about tornadoes. 27.What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. The main features of tornadoes B. The man who ignored a tornado C. Surprising ways to survive a tornado D.A picture which caused heated discussion C If ever an architectural feature expressed an aspect of national English character , a “folly (裴饰性建筑)" does so. Just for the purpose of definition let us call a folly an architectural construction which isn't what it appears to be. The first rush of folly construction in England seemed to have been caused by Sir Thomas Tresham's Rushton Triangular Lodge (1595). The Lodge was an exercise in expressing Tresham's views on the secret symbolism of number three, the Passion of Christ, and the Trinity. In fact, many follies were constructed as tangible (有形的)symbols for certain ideas or ideals. Rushton Triangular Lodge co-existed with another early folly, Preston Tower in Surrey. As the 17th century began, a craze went among the well-to-do of building follies of all description. But that was nothing compared to what was to follow in the 18th century. At Stowe, Lord Cobham built the Temple of Ancient Virtue in dassical style, and then matched it with a purpose-built ruin, the Temple of Modern Virtue, to emphasize his strong philosophic and political leanings. The trend towards dassical ruins in landscape architecture was brought about in part by the popularity of the Grand Tour in the 17th century. Many young men toured Greece and ltaly, 第 7 页 共 13 页 impressed with the ruined classical buildings they saw there. Back in England, they attempted to introduce many of the similar themes they had seen on their travels. Their passion for follies dwindled (减少)in the late 18th century, but it can never be said that it died out entirely as the English love of the strange and odd statement of individuality lives on. 28.What does the example of Lord Cobham suggest? A. Some follies once experienced serious destruction. B. Classic architecture was especially popular then. C. Architecture could reflect architects' inner thought. D. Stowe features various classic and modern follis. 29.What benefit did the Grand Tour bring to English architecture? A. Enriching the forms of follies. B. Shaping many famous architects. C. Lengthening the architecture's lifetime. D. Strengthening the architecture's steadiness 30.What contributes to the lasting existence of English follies? A. The great economic value of them. B. The diverse spiritual meaning of them. C. The English people's pursuit of the unique. D. The architects' passion for classical beauty. 31.What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The great popularity of English follies. B. The famous architects in English follies. C. The features of English classical architecture. D. The origin and development of English follies. D Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary 第 8 页 共 13 页 sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice's genes are so similar to humans, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases. Scientists at the University of California studied information from a data bank of mice's genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past. Only around 50 to 75 percent hereditary eye disease in human can be experimented with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent. This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease, "said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri.' "All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable. Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby s parents! Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium(IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7, 000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and lowa in order to compare the mices genes to those of patients. 32. How many hereditary-sight-loss-related genes were newly found? A.86. B.261. C.300. D.347. 32.Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in Paragraph3? A. To show the significance of studying mice's genes. B. To prove mice's genes are similar to humans . C. To warn the people of the high risk level of suffering them. D. To explain how common they are among people. 34.What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness? A. Compare humans' genes with mice's. B. Recognize each gene's role of humans. C. Set apart a gene of a mouse each time. D. Figure out each gene's function of a mouse. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Ways to Cure Sight Loss B. Genes Found behind Eye Problems第 9 页 共 13 页 C. Genetic Diseases Discovered in Mice D.

After we use water in our homes and businesses, it is washed away, and takes many valuable resources with it es Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients._ _37_ A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants. They can effectively recover nutrients and bio-energy, and produce new water' that can be reused. But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems, polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it. 38_ This is still better than the situation in smaller cities. In Latin American countries, those living in small and medium-sized cities at most treat it in the form of septic tanks that lack regular and proper maintenance. Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land: one the surface it is aesthetically built and provides habitats for local wildlife. Beneath the surface is wetland that treats waste water and produces energy. The energy produced saved families from having to use firewood collected in the wild. This is not a dream project._ 39_ A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of the constructed wetland environments. Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 200 countries , they found that, depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland, up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated with waste water._ 40_ A. This can provide ready access to clean water. B. But that is exactly what we do. C.A constructed wetland environment is already in practice on a small scale. D. There is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water. E. If collected and treated properly, it could provide new water, fertilizer, and energy. F. This would reduce the need for fresh water fur irrigation and energy for pumping. G. Although waste water systems in large cities are effective, the whole procedure usually costs much. 第 10 页 共 13 页 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节完形填空(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B.
