Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them. Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men. The American womens liberation movement was started by women who didnt want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay. A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence (自信 ) in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as Im going to go, baby!”名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 4 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 5 This movement is quite new, and many American women dont agree yet.

D Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water.

Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater. Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages ( 短 缺 ). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱 ) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs. Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but theres a lot we can do to lower the number. You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher(洗碗机 ) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away. 33. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater? A. Using river water. B. Throwing batteries away. C. Paving parking lots. D. Throwing rubbish into lakes. 34. The last paragraph is intended to_. A. show us how to fix leaks at home B. tell us how to run a dishwasher C. prove what drinking glass is best for us D. suggest what we do to save water at home 35. The text is mainly about_. A. why paving roads reduces our water B. how much we depend on water to live C. why droughts occur more in dry climates D. how human activity affects our water supply 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 7 页，共 12 页 - - - - - - - - - 8 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 36 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. Its great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels theres never anything to do during the school holidays. The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 37 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless. Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 38 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you. 39 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. Thatll keep you busy for ages. At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret! Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are veryimportant and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 40 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it. So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started youll think of loads of more interesting things to do! A. That s easy.B. Enjoy your own club! C. Invite a designer to join you. D. What are you interest in? E. Some vacation is just around the corner. F. Then you need to pick a name for your club. G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. 第三部分：英语知识运用（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四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In a land far away, once upon a time there was great poverty , and only the rich could manage without great 41 .
