Panic appeared all over their faces as they said. \"Sorry, we won't 46 her again.\"

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished, statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
At the playground near my family's apartment. I sometimes get annoyed when I see older kids running up the slides or jumping off the side of the jungle gym（儿童攀缘游戏立体构架）.After all, little kids play there, too—and they might get hurt. But honestly, I'm not so sure I can blame them for trying to make the playground a little bit more exciting. In our neighborhood park, there's not much to interest a kid over the age of 6 or 7.
How is that possible? According to a report, modern playgrounds are no fun and excitement for thrill-seeking kids. all as a result of helicopter parents. That worries child development experts, who say that as kids become older and outgrow ( 长大而厌倦 ) the cookie-cutter equipment, they become less interested in playing outside. Child development experts believe that exposure to risk makes kids more comfortable with it—keeping them too safe can encourage anxiety. \"We don't give our children enough space to help them test their limits or to

help them become confident in their physical skills,\" Kathryn Hirsh-Pasek, a professor in the department of psychology at Philadelphia's Temple University, told the WSJ. \"Sometimes when we protect people too much they never learn to take healthy risks.\"
Of course, playground designers don't want to create spaces that lead to lots of children getting hurt. But there are ways to give kids a sense of excitement without risking serious injuries—for instance, the WSJ notes. \"Specially designed climbing nets allow children to reach considerable (相当大的)) heights, without sacrificing safety in case of falls. \"There are these types of more exciting playgrounds in Europe, and the movement is starting to spread to the U. S. \"It's important that play environments are as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible, \"said Ellen Sandseter. an associate professor at Queen Maud University College of Early Childhood Education in Norway.
What do you think? Is your neighborhood playground too boring? 56. Why does the author sometimes get angry according to Paragraph I? A. There's a lot of danger at the playground. B. There's not much to interest a kid in many parks. C. Little kids get hurt now and then at the playground. D. Some kids' risky actions may cause danger to the young.
57. What is child development experts' attitude towards modern playgrounds? A. Positive. B. Critical.
C. Reserved. D. Casual.
58. ''Helicopter parents\" mentioned in Paragraph 2 can be described as _____. A. honest B. curious 59. According to Ellen Sandseter, _____. A. climbing nets are popular in Europe B. some playgrounds in the U.S. are exciting C. play environments should be as safe as possible D. parents should prepare kids for reasonable risks 60. What's the best title for the text? A. Have kids been exposed to more risks? B. Why are kids' physical skills so limited? C. Have kids' playgrounds become too safe?

Renault's new Twizy could be the future of motoring. . . or at least a big part of it. This is not some crazy future concept—this is a real vehicle, fully electric, and on sale now. Prices for the Twizy start at 6, 690,with battery hire from 45 a month. But is it a car? Technically no. it's classified under UK law as something closer to a moped(摩托自行车).
A two-seater(the passenger sits behind the driver), the Twizy runs on electric power only. and is designed to cover all those little trips we do. And as 87 per cent of Europe's drivers do less than 37 miles a day—50 per cent less than 12—there's really no need to be burning gas for that sort of journey.
The Twizy is arguably the most unusual vehicle in this country. Other cars have been beautifully designed, others have been small, but no car has turned motoring on its head in quite the same way.
The Twizy's batteries have a range of 62 miles, and it plugs into a standard socket like any other electrical equipment, going from flat to full power in three and a half hours. There are no full doors on the vehicle, so think of it like a covered moped with four wheels, but no noise and no need for a helmet. There's also a lower-powered type being designed, the Twizy 45. for which you don't need a license.
Seeing the Twizy in the flesh, you're surprised by how striking it looks. Sit in it and everything feels right—just car enough to be easy. but different enough to be exciting. With the battery underneath you. the vehicle is suckered (吸.) to the road, and the electric power means it accelerates with real energy up to about 50 mph. You don't feel you need any more. In the UK, the weather alone may make it a good buy. but the lack of easy access to outdoor sockets is the biggest challenge. Only time will tell if this brave move answers enough problems to find a place in our lives.
61. According to Paragraph 1, Renault's new Twizy _____. A. is a concept car
B. is classified as a car D. has been put on the market
C. can be hired by the day
62. Which of the following is TRLIE about the appearance of the Twizy? A. Attractive. B. Awkward. C. Traditional. D. Colorful. 63. What do we know about the Twizy 45? A. A helmet is needed to drive it. B. It makes more noise than the Twizy.

C. You can drive it without taking a test. D. Its batteries are better than the Twizy's.
64. What will probably prevent the popularity of the Twizy? A. Its low speed.
B. Its weak batteries.
D. Its demand for outdoor sockets.
C. Its limited inner space.

American transportation pioneer William H. Russell advertised for riders to work on the Overland Express Route in March 1860.
Russell had failed repeatedly to get the backing of the Senate Post Office for an express route to carry mail between St. Joseph, Missouri—the westernmost point reached by the railroad and telegraph—and California. St. Joseph was the starting point for the nearly 2. 000-mile central route to the West. Except for a few settlements, the route beyond St. Joseph was a vast. unknown land where Native Americans primarily lived.
Many thought that year-round transportation across this area was impossible because of extreme weather conditions. Russell organized his own express to prove otherwise.
With partners Alexander Majors and William B. Waddell. Russell formed the Central Overland California and Pike ' s Peak Express Company. They built new relay stations and readied existing ones. The country was combed for good horses—hardy enough to challenge deserts and mountains and to stand thirst in summer and ice in winter. Riders were recruited (招募) in a hurry but. before being hired, had to swear on the Bible not to fight or abuse their animals and to conduct themselves honestly.
On April 3, 1860. the Pony Express began its run. On average, a rider covered 75 to 100miles daily. He changed horses at relay stations set 10 to 15 miles apart, swiftly transferring (转移) himself and his four pockets of mail to the new mount.
The first mail by the Pony Express from St. Joseph to Sacramento took ten days. cutting the overland stage time via the southern route by more than half. The fastest delivery was in March 1861. when President Abraham Lincoln's inaugural (就职的)) address was carried from St. Joseph to Sacramento in 7 days and 17 hours.
On July 1. 1861, the Pony Express began operating under contract ( 合同) as a mail route. By that time, the Central Overland California and Pike's Peak Express Company was deeply in debt. Though it had charged as much

京翰教育http://www.zgjhjy.com/
as $ 5 a half ounce for a letter at a time when ordinary U.S. postage was no more than ten cents, the company did not make its operating expenses.
The Pony Express officially ended October 26. 1861, after the Transcontinental telegraph line was completed. 66. The underlined word \"backing in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by \"_____ A. support B. benefit C. attention D. job 67. Before 1860. the central route to the West _____. A. was mainly taken by mailmen B. had become a well-traveled route C. had not been explored thoroughly D. was well protected by Native Americans
68. It can be learned from the text that to search for good horses, Russell ____ A. built new relay stations B. put in a great deal of effort C. asked some riders for advice
D. walked through deserts and mountains 69. According to the text, the Pony Express _____. A. had very few relay stations B. delivered its first mail successfully C. sometimes treated its animals badly D. began its run in the latter half of 1860
70. Which of the following brought the Pony Express to an official end? A. The heavy debt. B. The high postage.
C. A new method of sending messages. D. A new express company's establishment. Part IV Writing (45 marks) Section A (10 marks)
Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the. Information from the passage.
京翰高考网http://gaokao.zgjhjy.com/
京翰教育http://www.zgjhjy.com/
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
The 9-to-5 work routine plays a big part in the lives of many people, and many find it hard to adjust to a life with no job. Problems experienced as a result of unemployment include the loss of earnings, as well as the amount of tree time that someone suddenly has to till. With some careful planning, however, anyone can cope with the problems of unemployment.
The loss of earnings makes life more difficult when you are unemployed. A simple idea to carry out as soon as possible after losing a job involves writing down a full list of monthly expenses. Work through the list to identify those considered a luxury rather than a necessity. Cutting luxury items from monthly expenses will help preserve money to better endure (忍受) a period of unemployment.
Besides, finding ways to earn a little extra money each month is advised during a period of unemployment. Searching the Internet provides a way to find paid tasks these days, with options including online article writing or paid surveys. However, try to avoid the websites that ask for payment up front (预付)or unreasonable personal information, especially financial data. Part- time job opportunities in your neighborhood might be another good choice. Keep an eye on the boards in local grocery stores for opportunities.
As we know, finding a new job involves effort, and setting aside a period of time every day should help you find a job more quickly. Updating your resume to make it as professional as possible will help when you apply for jobs. Also. use this newly free time to network and get in touch with friends and former colleagues who might know about job opportunities.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the. questions according to the information given in the passage and the required, words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Alien is planning to build a spaceship that could replace the Space Shuttle and put paying passengers into space this decade.
Alien is hoping to launch unmanned rockets from a huge flying carrier plane to put governmental and commercial satellites into space and eventually send humans into space.
The important plan comes only months after the United States retired the Space Shuttle program after 30 years. It opens the door for private enterprises to supply space vehicles.
Alien's rocket will be launched from what will be the world's biggest plane. The rocket itself will be made by private space company SpaceX.
The first test flight is targeted for 2015 with the first commercial flight the year after. Alien, the only funding source for development, indicated the project would cost $ 200 million or more.
Fifty-eight-year-old Alien, listed by Forbes Magazine as the world s 57th richest person, is the latest in the line of billionaires (亿万富翁)p with interests in the privatization (私有化) of space travel. Alien said he has long had space fantasies. \"I dreamed of becoming an astronaut. \"he said at his office in downtown Seattle. Poor eyesight ruined his dream of becoming a pilot, but he said his ambition for space travel never died.
Initially, his company will aim to fly unmanned rockets to put mid-sized satellites into orbit, and perhaps fly cargo (货物) to the International Space Station, if permitted.
Since the Space Shuttle's retirement, NASA is under increasing pressure to show the next innovation (创新) in US space flight. The United States is dependent on partner countries' spacecraft to fly cargo and people to the space station, although NASA is working together with some private enterprises.
After that. Alien's target is to fly paying customers into space, which he says has a huge potential market. 81. Why is Alien planning to build a spaceship? (No more than 12 words)
82. What provides the chance for the private to supply space vehicles? (No more than 7 words)
