七、阅读下面短文,判断正(A)误(B)(每题2分,共8分)
At no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it is guessed that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for city people. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures (基础设施). How can they deal with the additional needs?
London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport systems are now hopelessly out-of-date and need immediate modernization. London’s future success depends very much on developing better public transport. As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.
66. There are fewer people who have moved to the city from the countryside.
67. Soon good ways of solving the problems faced by cities will be found.
68. As is stated, London’s transport systems are not as good as they used to be.
69. Nowadays only one-third of the world’s population are living in cities.
八、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。(每题2分,共12分)
A
This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a book on schooling. The author, W.H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, understanding it and making it into oneself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper form dead tress. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other, in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.
( ) 70. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to _______.
A. gain knowledge and widen one’s view
B. understand the meaning between the lines
C. express ideas based on what one has read
( ) 71. The book which is described above by the writer is mainly for ________.
A. students
B. teachers
C. parents
( ) 72. This passage can be read as __________.
A. an advertisement
B. a book review
C. a nice story
B
As is true in all cultures, Americans first hear music in the situation of family life. Much of that music comes from the records on the family radio or television, and this “canned music” is especially important in developing children’s musical taste. People often say they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were very strongly influenced by the kind of music they heard before they were old enough to have their own records or choose the station on the family radio. There is usually some live music in the family as well. Many mothers and grandmothers sing lullabies (催眠曲), for example. These can be important since in America, as elsewhere, lullabies not only sing a baby to sleep but promise, praise and teach cultural values. Sometimes lullabies are the only songs in a foreign language that American children with strong racial backgrounds hear since people often fall back on old, familiar languages for nice songs.
( ) 73. The underlined phrase “canned music” refers to _________.
A. music passed down from older generations
B. recorded music rather than live music
C. music children hear in their sleeping time
( ) 74. The music children first hear is important in _______.
A. forming their likes and dislikes in music
B. learning language from a very early age
C. getting their strong family backgrounds
( ) 75. Lullabies are usually sung in _________ in the passage.
A. American English
B. a familiar language
C. the parents’ native language

B、阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成表格信息。(每题1分,共5分)
Li Ruyan, 13, and his classmates in Shanghai did something special last summer. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking (乱穿马路).
As part of the school project, Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community (社区) work.
After the half day of exhausting work, Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore.
“I think through community work we get to help others, and more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility,” he said.
Community service is an important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours community service before graduation. For those Americans who have finished 1,400 hours of community work, they can be awarded nearly $5,000 (33,000) yuan.
Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work. It will become part of their school grade.
Qian Lijun, and her classmates in Suzhou, Jiangsu went to a local elder care home this winter. They put Spring Festival couples (对联) on the walls and cheered up the people living there.
Li Xiaotian, 15, of Anshan said he used to clear small ads from telephone poles with his classmates. They brought tools, towels and buckets and worked for three hours under the summer sun. “It was tiring, but seeing the clear poles without ugly ads—we really felt proud,” he said.
