Faming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.
“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.
Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.
“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.
And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.
“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.
The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.
4. Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?
A. Because he grew up on the farm. B. Because he was affected by his father.
C Because he could do nothing but work on the farm. D. Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons. 5. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Managing a farm is a real challenge. B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts. C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms. D. Scott and David own their own farms now. 6. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The VariderWals have strict family rules. B. Ed's tradition has great effect on the local. C. Ed's grandchildren will drop out of school. D. Ed's farms have no lack of successors (继承者). 7. What's the best title of the passage? A. A Faming Family. B. A Successful Farmer. C. The Agricultural 'Tradition. D. The Agricultural Generation.

The Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.
ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅开发项目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.
Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.
The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they
generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.
That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. \"It helps us lower usage at peak power times,\" says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”
What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremely expensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill. 8. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now? A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses. B. They want to know if they are able to pay. C. They want to see how much they have saved. D. They want to avoid being overcharged. 9. What is special about the ZEH communities? A. They are built in harmony with the environment. B. They have created cutting edge technologies. C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections. D. They aim to be independent in power supply.
10. What does the \"net metering\" practice mean to the power company? A. More pressure at peak time B. Reduced operational costs. C. Increased electricity output. D. Less profits in the short term. 11. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.
A. is a worthy investment in the long run B. is but a dream for average consumers C. gives the owner great tax benefits D. contributes toenvironmental protection
D
The market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before. Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains, Arctic lands, deserts, small islands and wetlands— to high-spending tourists. The attraction of these areas is obvious: by definition, wilderness tourism requires little
or no initial investment. But that does not mean that there is no cost.
Once a location is established as a main tourist destination, the effects on the local community are profound. Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields. It is not surprising that many o£ them give up their farm-work. In some hill-regions, this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet, because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems. The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.
InArcticand desert societies, year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season. However, as some inhabitants become involved in tourism, they no longer have time to collect wild food; this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores. What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?
The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism. Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads, but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers. In both mountains and deserts, slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.
12. Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists? A. The wildness regions are accessible to tourists. B. The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.
C. Developing tourism there doesn't need much investment. D. Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions. 13. What is the effect of tourism on the local community? A. Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods. B. There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems. C. Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed. D. The local people's new sources of income will dry up soon. 14. Which might be the best title of the passage?
A. The future of wilderness tourism. B. The impacts of wilderness tourism.
C. The destruction of wilderness tourism. D. The disadvantages of wilderness tourism. 15. If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph, what will it talk about? A. The effects on local people. B. The solutions tothese problems.
C. The choices of adventure tourists. D. The reasons for visiting remote areas. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

How is dining in space different from eating on Earth?
Spacesuits? Check! Oxygen? Check! Water? Check! Are we forgetting something?Food! If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it?___16___
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). Maintaining the astronauts' physical health is a top task forany space mission. Providing junk foods to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts feel unhealthy.
___17___If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you've ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn't feel well, you'll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won't spill into the cabin. Liquids or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it.___18___A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
___19___The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and home again.___20___Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (脱水)．When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to rehydrate the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A. Variety and taste are also important. B. Finally, weight is an important concern.
C. Food packaging is made to be as light as possible. D. Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables. E. Nutrition and practicality are important things to consider. F. For the same reason sharp utensils are never used onboard.
G. Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）

I hate football when I was young. My family would watch it on television for hours and hours while I angry waited for it to end. Then something that happened. I became old enough to starting playing football myself with the other kids in my neighbourhood. They played on the street, in the backyard and even on the tops of building, believe it or not! I love the sound of the ball hitting skin, the sped when running, sun on my face and the scratches for falling down. It has become my favorite thing in the world. Now I watch it not with anger, and with fond memories of the endless days and nights spent play the game. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.Directions: Write the summary of the passage with no more than 80 words and the original sentences in the passage are not allowed to use.
Every country has a capital city. It is where the government of the country meets. The capital city is often the largest and most important city in a country and it has more people, shops, businesses, offices and factories than anywhere else.
The Romans founded a city, which was called Londinium, by the River Thames in AD 43. The area is now the City of London, which is the business centre of the city. The Romans built the first London Bridge. In the 11th century, a royal palace and then a minster (a large and important church) were built 3 km to the west of the city. As London grew and became more crowded, and roads and railways were built, people moved to the suburbs of the city to live. What were once outlying villages and towns were swallowed up, forming Greater London. By the 1860s, London was so crowded that railways had to be built underground. The London Underground now carries millions of passengers every year.
As the capital city, London needs good communications with the rest of the United Kingdom and the wider world. Five airports serve London: Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Luton and Stansted airports. Heathrow is one of the world’s busiest international airports. There are flights to and from about 220 places worldwide, and more than 40 million travelers use the airport each year. There are also new docks, able to handle large modern ships, at Tilbury, near the mouth of the Thames.
Almost all of the country’s main railway lines and motorways, and many of its main roads, radiate (辐射) out from London. Trains using the Channel Tunnel to mainland Europe start in London, and there is a direct motorway link between London and the Channel Tunnel.
