recharge electric cars while they drive along to solve some problems about limitedequipment to encourage ownership of these vehicles and ensure better air quality.The government has promised the money to developing both on-street and wirelesscharging to help transformation from internal combustion engine(内燃机)cars toelectric cars.These systems work similarly to a Scalextric toy car.Wireless charging uses aprocess called electromagnetic induction(电磁感应)to move energy.On the ground isa pad in which electricity is passed through a set of wire to create a magnetic field.It is then moved to a receiver on the underside of the car.Once the technology works,it could mean that drivers can fill up their cars as they drive along,meaning therecould be longer periods between charging.The proposal was made in Department for Transport(DFT)and could also see chargingpoints positioned at service stations and car parks.New homes will also,wherepermitted,be built with some points.David Martell,of the electric car chargingcompany BP Chargemaster,said,Wireless charging will make driving an electricvehicle as similar as possible to driving a petrol car but without going to the petrolstation

trips to petrolstation.C.It gives rise to many new car parks.D.It makes electric cars difficultto drive.35.Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?A.To show the experiment of some firms.B.To announce the progress of the new technology.C.To show the efficiency of the wireless road systems.D.To encourage the cooperation among different firms.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10

thousandsof miles journey is actually difficult and dangerous.So why do birds migrate?36However,it all comes down to survival.Migrating for a MealFor all birds,one of the main driving forces behind migration is food shortage.If all birds were to stay in the same warm regions all the year round,food wouldbecome lacking and producing their young would be less successful.As food resourcesare rich in the north each spring,millions of birds migrate there for the food supplies.37Migrating for FamilyOver thousands of years,birds have evolved different migration patterns,timingand destinations to fly around the world to produce their young.Birds take advantageof a wide variety of suitable conditions to raise their young.38Migrating for Climate-9-Birds have evolved different types of feathers to survive different climates.38So many birds leave the Arctic producing grounds,for example,when temperaturesbegin to fall and they need warmer habitats.Similarly,the hottest regions can bea bad environment for raising little chicks,and they will choose cooler areas tolay eggs.Migrating for Predators(掠食动物)Habitats that have rich food resources all the year round also attract a greaternumber of predators that can threaten their nests.40It gives their young abetter chance of reaching maturity.Many birds even migrate to specialized habitatsthat are nearly inaccessible to predators.A.Birds always tend to fly to warmer places.B.And changes in those climates can affect migration.C.This increases the surviving chances of little chicks.D.Birds have adapted themselves to their own surroundings.E.There is more than one reasons for different birds to migrateF.As the food supplies decrease in fall,they return to warm regions.G.So birds migrate to different habitats to avoid being eaten by predators.第三部分 语言运用(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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When life hands you lemons,well,dont bother.Six-grader Jamaria Crump
