A fresh and gentle wind on your face，soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see.Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball?
“I've gone to a lot of beautiful places，and met a lot of beautiful people.That wouldn't have happened if I had been playing another sport，” said Randy Stoklos，America's most famous beach volleyball player.
The sport began as a fouraside game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s.The first recorded twoman game took place there in 1930，and the first tournament was held in Los Angeles 18 years later.The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi.In the 1950s，women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America.Yet at that time，beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport，with beauty contests included.The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast，athletic sport.Its world wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta，where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part.At present，the US and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.
The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994.It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997.China's You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women's beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.

Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy，warm，damp and thick.But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago，during the last ice age，would it have been the same? For more than 30 years，scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold，dry climate of the ice ages，but till now，no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take
in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier，will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately，collecting information is incredibly difficult.To study the past climate，scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments (沉淀物)，which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery.There are very few roads and paths，or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest，but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样)．So far，only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
【语篇解读】 文章主要介绍了科学家是如何在亚马逊热带雨林工作的，以揭开亚马逊热带雨林的神秘之处。
8．How do scientists study the past climate change?
A．By predicting the climate change in the future.
B．By drilling down deep into land sediments.
C．By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
D．By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud.
D [细节理解题。根据文中第三段“To study the past climate，scientists need to look at fossilized pollen kept in lake mud.”研究过去气候，科学家需要看保存在湖泥中的花粉化石。故选D。]
9．What is needed for drilling down into lake sediments?
A．The latest helicopter. B．The special equipment.
C．The light machinery. D．The narrow path.
B [细节理解题。根据文中的第三段“Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments，which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery.”回到上一个冰河时代意味着下钻到湖泊沉淀物，这需要专门的设备和重型机械。C 选项错在 light。故选B。]
10．What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A．To attract more people's attention to CO2.
B．To call on people to protect rainforests.
C．To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests.
D．To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests.
C [推理判断题。这是一篇科普文章，通常写作目的是提供信息。A 选项是吸引更多人对二氧化碳的注意，和文章无关；B 选项是号召人们保护雨林，此文不是强调保护雨林；D 选项是警告人们远离雨林的危险，文章没有讲到雨林的危险。故选C。]
11．The best title for the text may be .
A．Mystery of the Rainforest
B．Climates of the Amazon
C．The History of the Rainforest
D．Changes of the Rainforest
A [主旨大意题。根据第一段“But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago，during the last ice age，would it have been the same? For more than 30 years，scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold，dry climate of the ice ages，but till now，no one has reached a satisfying answer.”人们对于雨林怎样应对变化的天气一直没有满意的答案，二、三段讲述的是科学家采用不同的方法去检测，而且没有结果，所以标题为“雨林的神秘”是最恰当的。B、C、D 选项都仅仅是文章提到的部分信息。故选A。]

Researchers are looking into new ways to generate efficient photovoltaic energy (光伏能源) and for this they have been inspired by the vshaped posture of the Cabbage White butterfly(菜粉蝶)．
Photovoltaic energy is the science behind solar power，where light is turned into electricity.It is a twoset process.Step one is a photoelectric effect，caused by sunlight.The second step is an electrochemical process，which generates an electric current.
To improve the collection of sunlight，a research group has been inspired by the
resting posture of the Cabbage White butterfly.The species has a natural range across Europe，Asia，and North Africa.To many farmers，the butterflies are regarded as a pest；to others，they are pretty to look at.To one research group the butterflies are an inspiration.
The butterfly adopts a vshape in order to heat up its flight muscles before taking off.By creating solar panels(太阳能电池板)in this formation，scientists think that the quantity of power that a solar panel can produce can be increased by around 50 percent.
The Cabbage White butterfly is different to many other butterflies in using the vformation.On cloudy days butterflies need to wait to receive enough sunlight in order to fly.However，by using the vposture，the Cabbage White butterfly is able to take in more energy more quickly than other butterflies.In addition，the butterfly can reflect sunlight from its wings，which allows its flight muscles to be warmed to an ideal temperature.
The new research was conducted at the University of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) and the Centre for Ecology and Conservation.Discussing the findings with Laboratory Manager magazine，lead researcher Professor Tapas Mallick stated：“Biomimicry(仿生学)in engineering is not new.However，this research shows pathways to develop low cost solar power that have not been done before.”
【语篇解读】 为了提高阳光的收集，一个研究小组受到了卷心菜白蝴蝶休息姿势的启发，正在研究新的方法来生成高效的光伏能源。这项研究表明，开发低成本太阳能的途径是前所未有的。
12．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．The future of solar power
B．The butterfly effect theory
C．Cool things about the Cabbage White butterfly
D．Butterflies contribute to solar power revolution
D [主旨大意题。通读全文可知，研究人员受到了卷心菜白蝴蝶休息姿势的启发研究高效的光伏能源，选项D符合题意。]
13．What is the main purpose of Cabbage White butterflies using the vposture?
A．To look prettier. B．To take a good rest.
C．To prepare for flight. D．To protect themselves.
C [细节理解题。根据第四段“The butterfly adopts a vshape in order to heat up its flight muscles before taking off.”可知，卷心菜白蝴蝶采用v型姿势是为了准备飞行，故选C。]
14．What is Tapas Mallick's attitude towards the research?
A．Positive. B．Casual.
C．Skeptical. D．Disapproving.
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段Tapas Mallick所说的话“Biomimicry(仿生学)in engineering is not new.However，this research shows pathways to develop low cost solar power that have not been done before.”可知，Tapas Mallick对这项研究持积极态度。故选A。]
15．Where is the text most probably taken from?
A．A lesson plan. B．A book review.
C．A science report. D．A personal diary.
C [推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述利用仿生学研究光伏能源，因此这篇文章最有可能摘自于科学报告，故选C。]

Do you have the experience of digging out your suitcase，deciding what to bring and being afraid that you've forgotten something? 16 Hope they can transform the way you pack.
Keep a Basket Handy
Do you wait until the last minute to pack? Keep a basket in your bedroom，living room，or bathroom that you can use to throw in items you'll need to pack as you come across them. 17 Besides，you can just put the contents of the basket into your suitcase if you are in a hurry to leave for the airport.
Buy Wrinklefree Clothing
You won't need to worry about carefully packing your items of clothing if they're made from wrinklefree materials. 18 You'll still look fresh and bright when you are in them at your destination.
Keep Old Packing Lists
Chances are that you end up taking trips that require you to pack similar items.Keep old packing lists from former vacations to the beach，ski resort，and city—that way，you'll always have a list of at least the basics. 19 So you don't need to waste your effort to remember where you left your handwritten packing lists.
Schedule a Packing Time
Time can slip away from you before a trip—you may be caught up at work，at home，or be occupied with other responsibilities of daily life. 20 That way，you will not need to do your packing crazily from the last minute to 1 o'clock on the day you leave.
A．This makes you less likely to forget the stuff.
B．The best way to do this is to save them on your computer.
C．Buy necessary stuff when you arrive.
D．Determine a night well in advance of departure to pack.
E．That's why I've distilled (提炼) the art of packing down to some essential tips.

由此得知你可以将它们滚成球或是折成任意形状来填补箱子底部。这样当到达目的地换了衣服，你看上去还是清爽整洁。故选F。]
19．B [根据空格后的“So you don't need to waste your effort to remember where you left your handwritten packing lists.(这样你就不用费力去记你将手写清单放在哪里。)”得知前面是提供技巧：最好是将清单保存到电脑中。故选B。]
20．D [根据空格后的“That way，you will not need to do your packing crazily from the last minute to 1 o'clock on the day you leave.(这样，你就不会在你最后要走的那天凌晨一点疯狂地收拾行李)”，得知前面是提供技巧：定下一个出发前的晚上来打包行李。故选D。]

Did you ever have a dream? I'm not talking about a dream you have when you sleep.I'm talking about a conscious 21 where you would like to see a new future，a different choice of employment，and a 22 of your own.How many times have you wished that you could be living in a different 23 than the one you are currently experiencing?
Several years ago，I had a dream about inventing a board game that would 24 my life's fortunes.After many revisions，a board game was developed.It was a(n) 25 time.Our dream seemed to come true with sales starting to accumulate，and our company was also founded.
26 ，another new board game came into the market and made great progress in sales.Eventually，our company was dissolved.
Perhaps for a game developer，the 27 emotions that it never was meant to be will discourage his future dreams of a different life.But to me，maybe I didn't succeed to the level I 28 ，at the very least I turned my dream 29 a reality.If I had never transferred my dream into goal and then to action，there wouldn't have been 30 lessons to be learned from the failure.It may take many 31 but success is only achieved.Once dreams are 32 action，failure becomes a better action plan in future.The important 33 here is that success only comes by turning dreams into reality and realizing that 34
are only stepping stones to final success.After many attempts，many failures，many lessons and many false starts，learn valuable lessons from failure，turn dreams into 35 ，and don't let a dream only be a dream，success will arrive at last.

An Exciting Basketball Match
This afternoon there was an exciting basketball match between our maths and English teachers.
The match began at 5 after class.Many students watched the games and cheered for their own teachers.Now Mr.Li，our maths teacher，got the ball.He was just about to pass it to Mr.Wang，who was under the basket，when Mr.Zhang rushed up to stop him.Mr.Li turned swiftly and with a beautiful backup shot the ball fell into the basket.Everyone cheered loudly.I jumped and shouted，even forgetting I'm a girl student.
The match lasted forty minutes and the result was 78∶80—the maths teachers won.Our English teachers were also glad，and they said the result was not the most important.
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两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I used to be really happy at my school.I had loads of great friends，my confidence was improving，and my grades were right on target...That was，until we started Year Nine.
Several new students joined，including a boy named Chris.I didn't think anything of him at first，apart from the fact that he gave off a bit of scary atmosphere.I soon discovered my instincts(直觉) were right when，at the end of October，he tried to hug me.It sounded like a small thing，but I didn't know him at all—why would he try to hug me？I avoided the hug quickly and went to my friends nearby.
Things started getting abnormal again after vacation.Chris would call out my name in class and then pretended that he hadn't done anything.I told him to leave me alone but he wouldn't.Sometimes he would come over and lean or stand right over me.It could definitely be classed as bullying(欺凌)，so I went to the teacher about it.She spoke to him and things improved for some days，but they didn't last long.
One day after school，an unknown number kept ringing my phone over and over.When I answered it，there was only silence.I was a bit confused and scared because I'd never given Chris my number，but the next day，I saw that he was able to reach the class list of phone numbers for us all.
This lasted for weeks.Each night I'd get up to eight calls，and every day at school Chris would do something.He also started taking the same bus home as me，and would sit either across the aisle or in the seat behind.It was like he was everywhere I went.
I began keeping a diary，in which I settled down all the terrifying affairs.I didn't understand why Chris cared for me so much.I was genuinely terrified of what he might do next，especially when my friend told me that he'd asked her where I lived.
Paragraph 1：
This was the final straw.I went straight to my teacher and broke down completely.
Paragraph 2：
My advice to anyone in a similar situation is to tell someone.
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
This was the final straw.I went straight to my teacher and broke down completely.He took me to the deputy head，who listened to my whole story and called Chris in herself.Things stopped straight away after that.Chris was told that he was forbidden to approach me—he's not even allowed to talk about me with his friends.It turned out he got kicked out from his old school for stalking someone.I've moved classes so that now we're only in maths together.I lost my confidence for a whole year afterwards.I'm still scared of him，but I know I did the right thing by telling my teachers.
Paragraph 2：
My advice to anyone in a similar situation is to tell someone.Tell your friends，your family，even contact the police if they start standing outside your house.Keep a diary of what they do，and on what day—this can be used as evidence.Chris really messed with my head，but because I trusted my instincts I never let him get close to me.I'm just thankful it's all over now.
