The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked. “Oh?” Mom said, “Thats Mamas quilt.”  I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right. “Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didnt look like any of the quilts she had made. “Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “Im still working on it. See, this is what Ive done so far.” I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words:  “My mother made many quilts. She didnt get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”  “Oh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmothers quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.21.Why did the author go to mothers home?A. To see her mothers quilts.B. To help prepare for a show.C. To get together for the family dinner.D. To discuss her grandmothers life.22. The author was surprised because      .A. the quilt looked very strange.B. her grandmother liked the quilt.C. the quilt was the best she had seen.D. her mother had made some changes23. The underlined wood “crooked” in the passage most probably means       .A. unfinished B. broken C. bent D. unusual24. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Quilt Show B. Mothers Home C.A Monday Dinner D. Grandmothers QuiltBWhen it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Lets start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the others dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell.”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.25. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to _.A. become serious about her study B. go to her friends house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend26. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means _.A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC. our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD. we parted with each other in London27. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _.A. call each other regularlyB. have similar personalitiesC. enjoy writing to each otherD. dream of meeting each other28. What is the best title for the passage?A. Unforgettable ExperiencesB. Remarkable ImaginationC. Lifelong Friendship D.

There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap and trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap-and-trade has the upper hand, but doesnt defeat the tax just yet.Supporters of the tax argue that a cap and trade system would be too difficult to administer and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap-and-trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments havent figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.32. The passage focuses on_.A. programs of collecting taxesB. systems of reducing carbon emissionsC. reasons for reducing carbon emissionsD. contradictions between the two systems33. According to the cap and trade program, companies_ .A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumption    C. can sell their remaining allowance within their limits    D. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price34. Carbon taxes work by _.A. burdening well off families  B. encouraging industries to consume carbonC. raising the price for carbon consumption D. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only35. The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to_.       A. limit                  B. credit                C. level                  D. rate第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文的内容，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Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 36 . Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?_37_. With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable. Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. 38 . This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life. Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. 39 . While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose. There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. 40 . Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs, if they side with you when you need them the most. APeople can be extraordinarily jealous sometimesBYou know they will never pass on a wrong suggestionCIn fact, winning trust is, by far, the most challenging aspect of relationshipsDTwo people cannot have identical reactions to a situation and different opinions do existENo matter how close you are to your friends, you cannot take that comfort level for grantedFIf your friends share their secrets, there's a good possibility that they have much faith in youGHowever, people who are fortunate to have been blessed with true friends are never alone in any battle 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Many years ago  my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terminal illness .
