A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing (开拓) Mars. If you have all the necessary skills, you could be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge?You wont have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know its quite possible because something similar has already been done in Antarctica.Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied peoples reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested?12What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs?AThey will land on Mars in 2023.BThey can get money from donors.CThey will compete in a TV show.DThey do not need special skills.13What will the first colonists do to solve the basic living problems on Mars?ACreate earth-like conditions.BBuild labs in Antarctica.CSpin the spaceship.DStart the Mars500 Mission.14What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage?ADifficult and dangerous.BDifferent but adaptable.CChallenging and unbearable .DAcceptable but depressing.15Whats the best title for the text?AMars: our final destination?BReady to be Mars colonists?CSpace travel: a thrilling adventure?DAre you a qualified Mars astronaut?第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Make Your Application (申请表) Stand OutColleges and universities in the US receive thousands of applications every year from within the US and from countries all around the world. 16 How can you make yourself more memorable among these students?Realize that "recommended" equals "required".The very first thing that any applicant to a college should realize is that it is a competitive process. 17 In fact, certain parts may even be presented that way in university application materialsbut the reality is that anything that the university presents as "optional" or "recommended" is usually seen as "required" in the minds of admission officers.Don't hesitate to send in extra materials.While it used to be the case that universities would make it very clear that they would not accept extra materials, that is no longer true in most cases, and in many cases, universities will accept all kinds of materials. 18 but it could make the difference when you are on the borderline. 19 During school breaks, make sure that you are doing something that shows your academic curiosity, your initiative, and your willingness to work hard. Bonus points if your activity produces something that could be easily understood by admission offices, and if this activity is something you've been doing for two or more years.Be eager and focus on quality communication. 20 Answer emails without delay; send thank-you letters; and ask good and thoughtful questions. Language that might be OK when messaging your friends is certainly not the right tone when communicating with admission officers. It is likely that all of your emails go into your admission file, so you will make sure that all of it will be able to stand close examination by the admission committee.A. One might think of many parts of the application as optional.B. You are expected to present yourself thoroughly in the process.C. Use your extra time wisely.D. Communicating well will generally be to your benefit.E. But how can you make yours stand out from the pile?F. Make sure the language you use is formal and careful.G. Extra materials won't suddenly make you competitive.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。One day, when I was in my first year of high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school, 21 nearly all his books.

Dhakas government, however, is pushing ahead with a series of new measures to ban rickshaws.“Dhaka has a traffic problem,” explains the mayor of the northern half of the city. “It is one of the worlds most densely populated 38 (city), and most crowded, which means being caught in traffic jam 39 (be) common.” Nearly three hours (working hours) 40 (estimate) by the World Bank is lost each day, at a cost of billions of dollars each year.For the citys rickshaw-drivers such concerns seem beside the point. “What am
