Everyone BWhen you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.     There are labels inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only." Washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions say on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed.      You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit better. Sometime less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.24. If you want to save money you can buy clothes that _.

A. are always worse made         B. must be dry cleaned C. cant be washed                D. can sometimes fit you betterCUsing a mobile phone before going to bed can damage your health, according to a major study. It says that radiation from the mobile phone can cause insomnia(失眠症) and headaches as well as cutting the time spent in deep sleep. Failing to get enough sleep can lead to depression, lack of concentration and personality changes. In teenagers and young children, lack of sleep can result in attention disorders and poor grades. The research showed that using mobile phones before bed causes people to take longer to reach the deeper stages of sleep and to spend less time in them. Deep sleep is important as it is the time when the body rejuvenates(更新) cells and repairs damage suffered during the day. Scientists found that using mobile phones an hour before sleep affects it. In the study scientists examined the sleep patterns of 36 women and 35 men aged 18 to 45. Some were exposed to radiation that is similar to what a person receives when using a mobile phone. The others received none. The results are as follows: The first group took longer to enter the first of the deeper stages of sleep and spent less time in the deepest one. However, the second group was opposite. The findings will shock many parents. Many parents are always worried about their childrens health. But they didnt have a better way to persuade them not to use a mobile phone.28. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. deep sleep is good for your health B. different people have different sleep patternsC. using a mobile phone before sleep can damage your health D. long sleep can renew cells 29. The underlined word “ it “refers to _.A. peoples bodyB. deep sleepC. a sleep patternD. a day30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Deep sleep is a good time for the body to repair damage suffered during the day B. The study examined the sleep patterns of about 70 people.C. Using mobile phones before bed make people take longer time to enter the deep sleep. D. The findings shocked many teachers and teenagers. 31. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the lack of sleep can lead to childrens excitementB. radiation from the mobile phone can cause parents worries C. many children use mobile phones before sleepD. using a mobile phone before sleep doesnt harm the aged DFarming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant(不相干的)and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high-rise or a sprawling complex (综合楼) in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the worlds food problems.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those-about 3 billion-are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global population will grow from 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or finding ways to completely increase crop output.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed(封闭的) and regulated environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and the temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night, but according to the rhythm of the plant.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140, 000 people. Their idea is not to grow foods that require much space, like corn or potatoes.Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the consumer, and theres no need to transport it long distances.32What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. The climate is worse and worse.B. The city people live a hard life.C. The world has difficulty feeding its people.D. The worlds population is increasing fast.33The underlined word “buffeted” in Paragraph 2 means“ ”.A. badly affected B. prevented C. demanded D. well achieved34It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuwss farming .A. helps save sea water a lotB. suits different conditionsC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. suits the production of corn35What is the text mainly about?A. Development of indoor farming.B. Great Revolution in farming.C. Advantages of indoor farming.D. Sunless, rainless indoor farming.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 36 But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult. 37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way. 38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that youre standing at the oceans edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, youd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you dont cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isnt as tasty as the fresh one. There are many common methods used to cook fish. 40 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices. Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, its ready to serve. A. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.B. The fish will go bad within hoursC. When buying fish, you should first smell it.D. It just requires a little knowledge. E. This is how you can do it.F. The easiest is to steam it.G. Do not buy it. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Theres an event that changed my life many years ago.
