Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their
gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “ zero-emissions( 排 放 )vehicles ” , but people in
California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to
make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our
electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also
by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants
as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the
coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering
their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a
vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas（or another fuel）and
first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted
heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas
won't get you nearly as far— so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our
electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car
truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those
energy sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in
a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When
it's a power plant, though，all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things
are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
41. What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?
A. People see the California Greens everywhere
B. People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc
C. People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cellsD. People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles
42. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Electric cars are not clean at all
B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones
C. People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries
D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle
43. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ______.
A. not less than 25 miles B. as far as 50 miles
C. as far as 25 miles D. not more than 25 miles
44. According to the text, electric cars ______.
A. are more environmentally friendly
B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
45. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins
C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U.S. minority. As their
children began moving up through the nation schools，it became clear that a new class of academic
achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities，where
mathematics，science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This
special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American
students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics
but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after
college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because
they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more
immediate in something like engineering than with an art degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are
determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to
offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with
their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is
something in Asian culture that makes success ， such as ideals that stress family values and
emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed
a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were
the victims of social isolation(隔离). Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving
all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
46. With making outstanding achievements at college，Asian- American students ________.
A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B. are afraid that their academic successes are not recognized
C. still worry about unfair treatment in society for their origin
D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
47. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.
B. Hard work and intelligence.
C. Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.
D. Asian culture and the American educational system.
48. Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because ________.
A. their English is not good enough
B. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
C. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D. they know little about American culture and society
49. Why do “both explanations” (Para.3) worry Asian Americans?
A. They are afraid that they would again be separated from American society.
B. People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C. Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.
D. Americans fear the academic achievements made by Asian Americans.50. Before 1952 in America，________.
A. Asian Americans could not be academically successful
B. there were few immigrants from East and Southeast Asia
C. immigrants were not equally treated by Asian Americans
D. immigrants from East and Southeast Asia were looked down upon

It’s amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course
that makes us responsible now? It’s the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes
a huge tree.
As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. It
described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it
and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place
leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How
could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?
One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the
endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on either side. I happened to stop upon
seeing something. It was a wonderful house with every corner touched artistically and lovingly. I
don’t know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only
when we put our love into it - just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with
her love.
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched
with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might
have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water
body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house - of course, it was all dried up now.
It’s really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures.
Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home.
When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of
walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years
later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes. When I
opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road - less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing
that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it.
51. When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt _______.
A. upset B. confused C. amazed D. amused
52. To the writer, “the seed that we sow in the beginning” (Paragraph 1) is _______.
A. the story of the bird B. his mother’s food
C. the house in his dream D. his story books
53. Mom’s food always tastes better because _______.
A. mom cooks with her love B. we are so familiar with mom’s food
C. moms are better cooks than fathers D. mom is experienced in cooking
54. In the writer’s dream, what part of the house attracted him most?
A. The greenery surrounding the house.
B. The body of water that keeps the house cool.
C. The liveliness he sensed around the house.
D. The fact that the house was very large.
55. The above passage is mainly about _______.
A. how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen
B. where the true meaning of responsibility lies
C. what we need to do when we are seeking fortune
D. why the writer takes up architecture as his career 保密★启用前

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight while the French, who consume rich
food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and
decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating
when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV
show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of
their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans
see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes
Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the
French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to
buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small
shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as
high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women. Don’t Get Fat,
decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid
food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast
food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children
has been growing.

61. Dear friends,
How time flies! It is more than two months since our English Club was set up by several
classmates and me. On behalf of my classmates, I’d like to talk about something about our club.
So far we have conducted a variety of activities on English learning, such as watching English
films, reading classic English novels, holding a Christmas party and so on. Every member took an active part in the activities. Many members said the activities benefited them a lot. Not only did they
improve their English, but also they brought them much fun. Personally, I think it is really a good
idea to set up the club.
It is hoped that our club is growing stronger and more mature. And welcome more classmates
to the club.
That’s all. Thank you.
Best wishes
Yours Lihua
