C。考查动词。A. do 做; B. take拿走; C. make制造; D. try尝试。根据常识可知,偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现。make effort to do sth 固定词组,“尽力做做某事”,make every possible effort to do sth 的意思是“尽一切可能做某事”,故选C。 3. D。考查动词。A. give 给; B. keep 保持; C. pay付款; D. draw吸引,绘画。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现,而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同,怎么个不同?那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。故选D。 4. A。考查形容词。A. unfortunate 不幸的; B. careless 粗心的; C. unpleasant 不愉快的; D. hopeless无希望的。根据下文可知,这个人很不走运。故选A。 5.C。考查动词词组。指从一个山村出发去伦敦。比较:set out 出发,动身;pass by从……旁经过;leave out 遗漏,漏掉;get up起床。故选C。 6.B。考查名词。A. front 前面; B. back 后面; C. left 左边; D. right右边。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知,此处应填 back。 7.D。考查动词。A. clean 打扫; B. change 改变; C. test 测试; D. examine检查。指司机听到从车后面传来有奇怪的声音,所以他就下车来检查(examine)一下,看是什么原因。故选D。 8.B。考查动词。A. drove 驾驶; B. continued 继续; C. pushed 推; D. forced强迫。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题,所以他就继续(continue)赶路。故选B。 9. D。考查副词。比较:immediately 立即,马上;normally 正常地;gently轻柔地;actually实际上。由于是一种奇怪的声音,并且他几次下车查看,说明这种声音不算normally;又由于后面说…became even louder,说明它不gently;actually 在此不合语境。故选D,指车一开动,又马上出现了那种声音。 10.B。考查动词。A. hiding 隐匿; B. turning转变; C. shaking 摇动; D. raising抬起。由于声音是从后面传来的,所以当司机再一次听到这种声音时,他马上回过头来看。比较:turn one’s head 转头,调头;hide one’s head 藏起某人的头;shake one’s head 摇头;raise one’s head 抬起头。故选B。 11. A。考查形容词。A. black 黑的; B. beautiful美丽的; C. white 白色的; D. colorful富有色彩的。根据下文可知,跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂,作者把它形容成一团乌云,故用black。 12.

A。考查动词。A. advised 建议; B. required 要求; C. ordered命令; D. requested请求。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”,此处用的是该结构的被动式,其意为“有人建议他……”。故选A。 19.A。考查名词。A. bee-keeper 养蜂人; B. policeman 警察; C. waiter 服务员; D. repairman修理工人。要对付这批蜜蜂,显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。故选A。 20. C。考查形容词。比较:unexpected 想不到的,未预料到;unfamiliar 不熟悉的;unknown不知道的;uncertain不确定的。对于一个bee-keeper 来说,突然得到这么多蜜蜂,当然属于 unexpected了。 【名师点睛】 完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题,但短文的主题句,往往在每段文章的首句,有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等,这是深入了解全文的“窗口”,甚至能以语句为立足点,从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control--hard to find just when you want it most. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, stop smoking, get to the gym regularly, developing your sense of willpower is an important part of changing any behavior.1.But there are ways to increase your willpower.

Don’t try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Establish one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan for achieving it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t stretch yourself too thin.2.Whatever your goal is, don’t expect to achieve it overnight.3.If you are trying to kick a caffeine habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of vowing never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements that will pave the way toward a larger one. These successes help your willpower grow.

4.Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have increased sharply, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.

If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking?5.

A. Change your environment to change your life

B. Real success takes time

C. Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up

D. Changing your behavior requires more than willpower

E. Improve your willpower by a support network

F. Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult

G. Focus on one goal at a time

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.

Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.

Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.

The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.

1.The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that     .

A. It makes the world warmer

B. it consumes natural resources

C. it brings severe damage to forests

D. it makes growth hard to continue

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. China lacks wind and solar energy

B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market

C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development

D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests

3.To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can     .

A. cut public expenses

B. forbid carbon emission

C. develop public resources

D. encourage energy conservation

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce a new business model

B. To compare two business models

C. To predict a change of the global market

D. To advocate sustainable development

I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a "complicated idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽)or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)

There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the "hundred most important books of Western Civilization." "More than anything else in my life, "the professor told the reporter with finality," these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信)of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.

1.On heating the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought     .

A. one must read as many books as possible

B. a student should not have a complicated idea

C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books

D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read

2.The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means     .

A. firmly    B. clearly

C. proudly    D. pleasantly

3.The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to     .

A. explain why it was included in the list

B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list

C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand

D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word

4.The writer provides two book lists to     .

A. show how he developed his point of view

B. tell his reading experience at high school

C. introduce the two persons' reading methods

D. explain that he read many books at high school

Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the program! We are 100% horse from stable(马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.

Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack(马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.

At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse” (4 girls), “The Wranglers Roost” (4 girls), and “The Hideout” (2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.

Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child's vacation, Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album(usually 300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.

Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2007, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.
