My father and I
disagreed about curfew (晚间在家的时间). He’d say I was to be in by 9:30 on
weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told
him it made me 36 like a junior-high kid. He explained that
while a curfew 37 sound like a restriction, it’s really about
people looking out for one another. The very next Friday after that pretty
heated 38 ,
my dad and I had tickets to see our town’s professional football game. On that
day he was 39 to
a nearby city to meet with some major clients and 40 me that his getting home and our leaving for
the game would be tight. To
make sure we could 41 off the moment he walked in, I got everything
prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he’d be home, I understood that he
was a little 42 .
But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting 43 .
We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he 44 me and let me know he was going to be really
late? As I anxiously 45 the floor, another half hour passed. That’s
when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to 46 the whole game! When yet another half hour
passed, my anger turned to 47 .
What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack
or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really 48 . I’d already called his cellphone about ten
times, but no 49 . I was beside myself, assuming the worst
had happened. Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said 50 , “Son, I’m so sorry about the game, but…there
was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I 51 to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I
52
my cellphone in the car, so I
couldn’t call until now.” I was so relieved to hear from my father
and to 53 that he was safe that I actually cried. That
was 54 I “got”
the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It’s about knowing that someone you
love is 55 . It
was one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.

letter.” Mr. Hanson nodded toward the parking lot near where they stood. “Please
tell me more.” “Here’s a picture of a skateboard park in
another town. Look how busy it is.” However, Mr. Hanson said, “We’ll still
need parking spaces, and the neighbours will not like late-night noise. They
might worry about the crime of deliberately damaging public property and….” “The skateboard park would use only the
back corner, which isn’t near any houses. Since young people already hang out

time?” The lines over Mr. Hanson’s forehead

C The extraordinary Eastgate Building in
Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use
the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆). Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the
same strategy when designing the The complex is actually two buildings
linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the
atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there
into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn
out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow
air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day,
smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate
the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there
are small heaters in the vents. This is all possible only because Harare
is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid
temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃ commonly
drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in The engineering firm of Ove
Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature
of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and
25℃, with the exception of the annual hot
period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when
a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is
fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air
is recycled.
63. Why was
Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building? A. It was designed in a smaller size. B. No air conditioners were fixed in. C. Its heating system was less advanced. D. It used rather different building
materials. 64. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. Fresh air from outside. B. Heat in the building. C. Hollow space. D. Baseboard vent. 65. Why would a
building like Eastgate Not work
efficiently in A. B. Its dampness affects the circulation
of air. C. D. Its temperature changes seasonally
rather than daily. 66. The data in
the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system_____. A. allows a wide range of temperatures B. functions well for most of the year C. can recycle up to 30% of the air D. works better in hot seasons
D Is the ‘Go to College’ Message Overdone? Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the
answer for everyone. A briefing
paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we
may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill
said. “We’ve been telling
students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed
in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said.
“On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt
and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.” One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow
job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a
career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor
Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25
years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those
with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among
those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in
that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent
research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no
guarantee of promising employment. Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the
value of a college education is the field of one’s major: Students in
engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts
or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are
other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial
bargain than private ones. She suggested two avenues for improving the situation:
increasing vocational(职业的)-technical training programs
and taking a page from Europe’s
focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European
countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary
grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but
once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).” She also is a supporter of technical
training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer
programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.
67.
People usually think that _____. A. the cost of technical schooling is a
problem B. one will not succeed without a college
degree C. technical skills are most important
for landing a job D. there is an increased competition in getting
into a college 68.
What does the underlined part “taking
a page from” mean? A. Hearing from. B. Changing from. C. Differing from. D. Learning from. 69.
What can we infer from the passage? A. Public institutions charge more for
education. B. European universities are stricter
with students. C. Students with certain skills are in
great demand. D. Canadian students prefer to major in
engineering. 70. Ms.
Sawhill may probably agree that _____. A. too much stress has been put on the
value of college degrees B. technical training is more important
than college education C. a college degree will ensure promising
employment D. it’s easier for art students to find favorite
jobs
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 The Importance of Accessibility
Awareness At a recent Teen Leadership of
Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their
lives. 71 However, what amazed me most was the great
importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施). One school-teacher who is
blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important
members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness
about disabilities. 72 These include handicap parking spots,
handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take
advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 73 And
the meeting
focused on educating the public. Some handicap spots have extra
room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in
the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However,
the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow
someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 74 Some walkways have handrails
next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind
person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there
for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance,
and consequently made useless. 75 People who
are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike
rack. Meeting some of the people who
are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that
there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of
accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical
disabilities.
A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled. B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of
education. C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities. D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate. E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer
useful. F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these
accommodations. G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical
disabilities. 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）
