In real life, however, most bats are harmless. A few are even helpful to humans. Over 800 species or types of bats feast on troublesome insects that damage crops or spread disease. Another 400 or so bat species eat ripe fruit. These bats are very useful because they pollinate（授粉）flowers and disperse（分散）seeds. There are also a few species of larger bats that hunt small animals like mice, fish, and frogs. A very few even drink blood. The blood drinkers are the three species of vampire bats. However, the vampire bat doesnt suck blood. Instead, it makes a wound with its sharp teeth and then laps the blood up like a kitty. The animal victim usually sleeps through the entire process. While attacks on humans have occurred, the bats common targets are livestock and other animals. Interestingly, the vampire bat may become useful to humans. You see, a chemical in the bats saliva（唾液）thins blood and dissolves blood clots（血栓）. Studies indicate this could be a great aid in treating people with strokes. In the future, medicine may be made from vampire bats saliva. Some people think bats are birds, but theyre not. They have fur, not feathers. And their babies do not hatch from eggs; theyre born alive. Also, bats have mouths and noses; birds have beaks. Scientists put them in a special mammal group called Chiroptera.31.Most species of bats eat .A. insectsB. mice and frogsC. ripe fruitD. blood32.Which of the following is TRUE about blood drinkers?A. Vampire bats drink blood directly. B. Medicine has been produced from the bats saliva.C. A chemical in the bats is of great benefit treating heart disease. D. The bats uncommon targets are human beings.33.What is the best title of the passage?A. Blood DrinkersB. Vampire Bats C. Amazing BatsD. Scary CreaturesBWhen Brody, a 4-year-old Connecticut boy, was asked what wish he wanted to come true, his only dream was that he could be able to play outside.Brody was born premature（早产）at 27 weeks, which caused him to overheat and burn easily. That means he can't spend any time outside and he'll get burn blisters（水疱）on his face even when he is driven to the hospital. Besides, there are a lot of things he can't do. He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago. Brody can't eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him. “I can't even count the number of surgeries he's had since he was born,” Brody's mother said. “He's spent probably half his life at the hospital.”When Make-A-Wish Connecticut, an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, heard about Brody's request to play outside, they immediately jumped into action. “It's the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.” said Debbie Artinian, the manager of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brody's home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option. But they had to find a tent that could stand weather conditions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays. Luckily, Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make the tent. Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he is not able to go into water because of his backpack. So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like he's out at the beach.Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door and I saw his face, it was just everything,” said Artinian. “Now when Brody says Can I go out and play?, his mom can say, “Yes.” “Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time "outside” in the tent.It's hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could.34What can we learn about Brody?AHe can't be given surgeries any more.BHe can't stand on his feet.CHe can't be exposed to sunlight.DHe can't communicate with others.35Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brody's dream was _Ainspiring and heart-warmingBchallenging but worthwhileCdifficult and unachievableDsimple but incredible36Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4?ATo suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate.BTo prove that the design company was responsible.CTo show that Brody is a boy who loves nature.DTo emphasize that the skill in building the tent was the latest.37What does the story mainly tell us?AOne good turn deserves another.BAll things are difficult before they are easy.CA helping hand makes a difference.DTough life experience may result in success.CThere are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference（会议）that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the worlds most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are translated into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, has faced criticism. Its been called elitist（精英） for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). Its been accused（控告）by a few people for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conferences host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow (听起来不诚恳) when so much is given away for free on TEDs website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.38. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. TED talks are available in many languages.B. Two TED conferences are now held every year.C. The TED conference came after the success of .D. The Sapling Foundation owns .39.From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that _.A. it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB. TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulC. the host of the conference plays a supportive role to the speakersD. the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation40.This author probably believes that_.A. TED is elitistB. TED is beneficialC. TED isnt importantD. TED is the best website第二节 （共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分） 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。Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of whats happening around them. Are you one of “them”?For me, walking around in my own personal bubble (私人空间) is perfect. 41 Whats even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: “Im not available for chatting at the moment!”Suppose youre at work, you dont want anyone to break your concentration. 42 Those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give the “Go away!” signal. 43 Its probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume (声音) on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our earsbut also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. Well be in a virtual (虚拟) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 44 . And they are changing our social habits along the way.In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! Its so strangesuddenly, 45 .A. I dont feel like wearing my earphones any more!B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.C. I dont have to deal with the noise from the environment.D. Our instruments are changing quickly. E. In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.F. After all, I am listening to my favorite music and would rather not be disturbed.G. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.第四部分：语言运用（共三节，满分55分）第一节：完型填空（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、C和D四个选项中，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。For The Flying Classrooms second project, 11 of us from Tehran went to Tokhme-Baloot, a rural village in Ilam, one of the poorest provinces in the country. 46 by the government, Ilam has a high rate of unemployment, 47 and drug use. People there used to make their living by farming, but now this way of life is 48 by constant famine（饥荒）. The situation for children there is 49 . Boys who dont do well in school must start work after eighth grade and girls who dont do well in school stay at home doing 50 or get married.Because our research before the trip made us believe there were large 51 around the village, we planned our project concept around oak（橡树）trees and squirrels to make the children 52 the beauty of the environment. 53 , when we arrived at the village, we saw that there were only flat, 54 grass fields.
