A lot of young men put everything at risk to find gold in Alaska. They face problems with their machines and the Alaska wild animals. They’re just ordinary people out trying to realize a dream.‎ ‎ Todd Dorsey is one of them. He spent $100,000 on it and prepared for a year before going to Alaska. He brought his family and friends to help him out. He must get them mining (开矿) and a place to stay. He also had to keep their spirits up and kept everyone working as a team. They had to run off bears sometimes from their camp. ‎ ‎ They had to face the fact that their lead mechanic’s (机修工的) health was not good. They called him Harness, and he was on medication that was hard for him to take, because out in Alaska it was not easy to get to the hospital and so he didn’t enjoy good health. He was the only one who could keep things running the way they were supposed to. There was one guy that didn’t seem to get along with anyone. But didn’t there always have to be someone that didn’t get along and messed things up?‎ ‎ They got excited when they found a few small pieces of gold, but they needed a lot more to cover the cost of mining every day. It cost Todd $‎1,000 a day to run everything they needed to mine. They had to make money before the Alaska summer came to an end or they would go broke(破产). ‎ ‎21. We learn from the text that the young men joining the gold rush ______. ‎ A. knew Alaska well before they set off B. were poor before they went to Alaska ‎ C. faced the threat of wild animals D. got along well with each other ‎22. According to the text, Harness ______. ‎ A. was the leader of the young men B. never messed things up ‎ C. was very important to everyone D. had to be taken to hospital ‎23. What does the author think of Todd Dorsey? ‎ A. He thinks highly of what Todd did. B. He believes Todd can realize his dream. ‎ C. He thinks Todd lacked team spirit. D. He thinks Todd was taking a chance.‎ B ‎ Most people looking for ways to quit smoking worry about weight gain, and with good reason. Smokers who quit tend to pack on an average of 5 pounds after they stop smoking cigarettes. A new study, published by the journal Science, explains why this happens.‎ The new research explains that nicotine appears to combine with appetite-regulating neurons(调节食欲的神经元)in the brain, besides the receptors(感受器) that bring about addiction. These neurons help regulate how much food gets consumed, but under the influence of nicotine, they lose their self-control. This is why when smokers quit, they tend to eat more and gain weight.‎ The researchers believe that their discovery will lead to the development of drugs that aim at nicotine receptors on brain cells that control appetite. In the future, weight gain may no longer be a reason for smokers to delay the decision to kick the habit, but that’s no reason to wait. Nicotine-replacement treatment, while not for everyone, can help. Here are a few more ways to quit smoking and stay slim.‎ Drink water. To improve metabolic(新陈代谢的)rates, make half of those glasses ice water. Juice can be too high in calories, something you’ll want to keep an eye on your journey toward being a slimmer non-smoker. ‎ Plan your snacks. Healthy snacks help keep your metabolism working, so you continue to burn calories while stopping wild hunger pain, or fake hunger. ‎ Keep moving. Exercise kills two birds with one stone. It helps you burn calories and prevents you from eating when you’re not truly hungry. It’s also a feel-good stress reliever (缓解物). Focus on your fitness and how being healthy makes you feel. Make exercise a goal and think of quitting as your reward for being physically fit.‎ ‎24. Which of the following changes people’s appetite according to the new research?‎ A. Nicotine. B. Appetite-regulating neurons.‎ C. The receptors that bring about addiction. D. The food that has been consumed.‎ ‎25. By saying “but that’s no reason to wait” in Paragraph 3, the author means that ______.‎ A. some new drugs are going to be developed soon B. nicotine-replacement treatment cannot help everyone C. losing weight shouldn’t be an excuse for smoking D. some ways to quit smoking while staying slim are available ‎ ‎26. The author believes that ______.‎ A. ice water can improve metabolic rates B. smokers should eat fewer snacks to keep slim C. stress can lead to fake hunger D. exercise can help one eat less ‎27. The purpose of the text is ______.‎ A. to introduce the result of a new study ‎ B. to explain the reason why smokers become slim C. to prove the possibility of being a slim non-smoker D. to tell us ways to quit smoking without gaining weight ‎ C ‎ David Beckham thinks he would be more useful as a player than a coach at the 2012 London Olympic Games when Britain fields (使参加比赛) its first Olympic football team since 1960.‎ 5‎ ‎ The former England captain will be 37 when the Olympics come to London, but he says that fitness will not be an issue.‎ ‎ “There are several months to go and there are a lot of decisions to be made but I would love to be part of it,” Beckham told the BBC on Monday. “I’m sure I’d be better as a player than a coach so I’ll have to wait and see. I still feel as if I’m 21 when I’m playing. I still love the game like I did when I was 21. I still feel as fit.‎ ‎ “Everyone knows I have looked after myself eating-wise, fitness-wise. So I’m not in bad shape and I’ll continue to work hard and hopefully I can be part of it.”‎ ‎ Stuart Pearce, the manager of England under-21, the feeder team for the England national football team, is going to take charge of the team, with The Football Association administering the team and set to provide all the players.‎ ‎ The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish associations won’t be part of the team because of fears it would affect their independence and voting rights within FIFA.‎ ‎ Beckham was at the World Cup last year as a member of England coach Fabio Capello’s support staff (辅助人员) after being ruled out because of a serious injury.‎ ‎ While Beckham made the last of his 115 appearances for England in October 2009, he is still playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy.‎ ‎ But Beckham might not be with the Galaxy by the time the Olympics start in July 2012, with his five-year Major League Soccer contract coming to an end at the end of this year.‎ ‎28. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ______.‎ A. coaching staff at the World Cup B. England under 21‎ C. Britain’s Olympic football team D. the England national football team ‎ ‎29. Which of the following about Beckham and Fabio Capello is TRUE?‎ A. Fabio Capello was once Beckham’s coach. ‎ B. Beckham was ruled out by Fabio Capello.‎ C. Beckham was part of Capello’s support staff. ‎ D. Fabio Capello stopped playing because of Beckham.‎ ‎30. We can learn from the text that _____.‎ A. Beckham hasn’t played for England for 2 years B. Beckham will attend the 2012 London Games C. 37-year-old Beckham looks as young as 21 D. Beckham plays football every day to keep fit ‎31. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Beckham, a better player than coach B. Beckham, a shining star at London Games C. Beckham shows his unwillingness to be a coach D. Beckham wants to be player at London Games D AfricaTown is the place in Mobile, Alabama, along the Gulf Coast where the last cargo (一货轮的) of African slaves landed in 1860. Their landing marked the last record of carrying Africans to the United States for the purpose of slavery.‎ ‎ The history of AfricaTown, USA, began with Ghana, West Africa, near the present city of Tamale in 1859. The tribes (部落) of Africa were fighting against each other then. The Tarkbar tribe was defeated by the Dahomey tribe, and the survivors were taken to Whydah, and sold for $100 each. Then they were taken to the United States on board the schooner (纵帆船) named Clotilde, under the control of William Foster. He had been employed by Captain Timothy Meaher, who had built the schooner Clotilde in Mobile in 1856.‎ ‎ In the 1850s there was much opposition to reopening the African slave trade, which had been outlawed since 1808. So Meaher and Foster secretly planned the journey of the Clotilde for the purpose of bringing an illegal cargo of slaves back to Mobile. But their plan was discovered. William Foster entered Mobile Harbor on the night of July 9, 1860. He transferred the slaves to a riverboat and hid them in the fields. He then burned the Clotilde and sank it. The African slaves were sent to those having an interest in the voyage, with 32 living in Meaher’s houses at Magazine Point, three miles north of Mobile. This formed the center of what came to be known, and still is known, as AfricaTown.‎ ‎ AfricaTown is unique in that it represents (代表) a group of Africans who were forcefully removed from their homeland, sold into slavery, and then formed their own com-munity, all the while keeping a strong sense of African culture. This sense of culture and community continues to be popular today, more than 150 years after the landing of the Clotilde in Mobile Bay.‎ ‎32. The first people of AfricaTown came from _____.‎ A. Mobile B. the Dahomey tribe C. Whydah D. the Tarkbar tribe ‎33. The schooner Clotilde was made in _____.‎ A. 1808 B. ‎1856 ‎ C. 1859 D. 1860‎ ‎34. The schooner Clotilde was burnt to _____.‎ A. reduce the travel cost B. avoid being found C. show determination D. burn the slaves to death ‎35. According to the text, in AfricaTown ______.‎ A. African culture is largely preserved B. people still want to go back to their homeland C. the history of slavery has already been forgotten D. people don’t socialize with other communities 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项(A、B、C、D、E、F、G)中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ How to teach kids responsibility ‎ We’d all like our kids to develop into responsible people. How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility? Here are some ideas:‎ 5‎ ‎ Start them with tasks when they’re young.‎ ‎ 36 They can do a lot more than you think if you’re patient and creative. Encourage them to begin at an early age, and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life.‎ ‎ Don’t use rewards with your kids.‎ ‎ If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility, they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves. 37 ‎ ‎ Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.‎ ‎ If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere, let them deal with the consequences. Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game. 38 If you rescue them every time they make a mistake, they’ll never learn responsibility.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ ‎ This is where they’ll learn it from. Take care of your stuff. Try to be on time. They’re watching you very closely.‎ ‎ Give them an allowance (零用钱) early in their life.‎ Let them make their own money decisions from an early age. They’ll learn their lessons in a hurry. ‎ ‎ 40 ‎ A. Model responsible behavior for your kids.‎ B. Maybe they have to buy a new one if it’s lost.‎ C. Don’t help them out if they run out of money.‎ D. Train your kids to be responsible and careful.‎ E. They won’t learn that if they’re focused on what they’re going to “get”. ‎ F. Young kids have a strong desire to help out, even as young as age two.‎ G. They’ll pick up on this belief and they’ll tend to rise to the level of expectation.‎ 三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题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。‎ Last week after a long day of traveling, I found myself delayed at a bus station.
