“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 38 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 39 company that had cars on the parking lot.

第一节 选择题（共17小题，每小题1.5分， 满分25.5分）
A
Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or-3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.
Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.
The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increases will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation, competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.
The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or-3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”
Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.
Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps.” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich — the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.
The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.
41. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is ______.
A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or-3-cent stamps
B. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailing
C. to respond to the complaints about rising postal rates
D. to compete with online bill paying
42. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr. Saunders means that forever stamps ________.
A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildren
B. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s hands
C. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathers
D. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later
43. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.
B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.
C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.
D. 2-or-3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.
44. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.
B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.
C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.
D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.

Scientists have found what look like caves on Mars, and say they could be protecting life from the planet’s terrible environment.
The first caves discovered beyond the Earth appear as seven mysterious black dots on the pictures sent back by NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter. Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface.
“If there is life on Mars, there is a good chance you’d find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program.
Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting.
One photo taken at night by an infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm, suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out.
“I said,‘Wow, that’s a cave’” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time; now we have found them.”
He agreed such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold, radiation-soaked, dry surface.
“Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria. A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.”
The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lava flows spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled, forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining have to flow out, forming caves.
49. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How the caves were formed on Mars.
B. How scientists found these caves on Mars.
C. Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life.
D. Scientists have completely recognized the surface of Mars.
50. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. water has already been found on Mars
B. the scientists found all the caves at night
C. it is certain that there is life in these caves
D. the surface of Mars is bitterly cold, radiation-soaked and dry
51. According to the passage, Dr. Clarke was so excited because _________.
A. such caves could provide energy for life
B. they had finally found the caves on Mars
C. such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life
D. scientists had long been looking for these caves
52. Necessary conditions for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include _________.
A. lava and energy B. water and radiation from space
C. gases and lava D. water and protection from radiation
D
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 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 of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
53. On hearing 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
54. While at high school, the writer________.
A. had plans for reading B. learned to educate himself
C. only read books over 100 pages D. read only one book several times
55. The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means________.
A. firmly B. clearly C. proudly D. pleasantly
56. 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
57. 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
第二节 简答题（共3小题， 满分4.5分）
阅读下面短文，根据第58至第60小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
Some students at Bellarmine University in the US tried last week to get a look at the lives of the homeless in America, by living “homelessly” on campus.
They got together to put up makeshift shelters and tents, turning the campus quadrangle (四方院落) into a shantytown (贫民区).
They were committed to spending two nights in their comfortless shelters to increase awareness of the needs, or the “myths” of homelessness.
“Our main goal is to educate and to raise awareness of needs,” explained Aaron Frazita, a senior and chairman of the social justice group.
Besides sleeping in their shelters, the students faced a two-day schedule of educational sessions and a visit to a shelter of the homeless to serve breakfast to the residents.
“We’re trying to understand as much as we can what it is like to be homeless,” Frazita said.
Sophomore Megan Edwards said she joined the group because she wanted to focus on social justice.
“When people think of homelessness, they think of beggars in the street,” she said.
“People think homeless people don’t have jobs. That’s not necessarily true,” she added.
Amy Gwilliam, a senior, and four friends decided to take part in the program because it looked like fun.
“We just try to get involved in anything people offer us on campus,” Gwilliam said.
58. Whom do the underlined words “the residents” refer to?
59. What does Megan Edwards think is not necessarily true about homeless people?（回答词数不超过8个）
60. What is the suitable title for the passage? （回答词数不超过3个）

Gardening has a long history. It is one of the oldest pastimes in the world. Roses are known to be on the earth before human beings, and now there are 300 kinds of roses grown in gardens. Gardening is so big a subject that you will spend your whole time learning about it.
People have different preferences for gardening. Some may enjoy having their own flower gardens and cutting flowers for their homes. Some may prefer to grow fruit and vegetables for food. Many like keeping plants in their homes, which is light work. With flowers or plants in a room, the house can be more beautiful.
There are different things to be done in a garden in different seasons. You need to sow, to cut off branches and to do many other jobs. Besides, you must also have some knowledge about the soil in your garden, and about fertilizers and weed-killers, if you want to get high yields.
Today, indoor gardening is more and more popular. Hundreds of plants are grown indoors. To keep the indoor plants healthy, you have to follow certain rules. In heated rooms, plants need plenty of moisture. They have to be carefully watered and their leaves should be sprayed.
Potted plants are better to be kept on window sills. The sun and daylight can help to keep the leaves green. Fresh air is also needed.
