A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.

In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a trick during a design convention. The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later. There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.

The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geogra phic Channel’s reality show called Diggers. The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure. CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.

To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment. To others, the most interesting object would likely be the Lisa

Mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs. The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.

The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators make a list of the tube’s contents-but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington’s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.

60. Why didn’t people dig up the tube as planned?

A. Because it was difficult to dig it up.

B. Because the tube was too heavy.

C. Because everyone involved forgot where it was buried.

D. Because Steve Jobs died.

61. What is the meaning of the word "eclectic" in paragraph 2?

A. electronic

B. original

C. various

D. extreme

62. Who discovered the time capsule?

A. Steve Jobs

B. the crew from Diggers

C. Lisa

D. the experts

63. What is the best title of this passage?

A. A time capsule was buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs.

B. A time capsule has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.

C. the accomplishment in finding a tube.

D. the origin of Lisa Mouse.

Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings. But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

Middleburg,a small town in the state of Virginia,is known for its horses. For more than 50 years, Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行). Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first,these hunters ride in the yearly parade, wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

John Hale, a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town. “We have a lot of people

from an urban area that come to visit,but it involves a lot of the old traditions.” The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay. The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

There are some newer traditions, too. Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort. He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day. He says Middleburg can be a calming, peaceful place without tension.

“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back, to take a deep breath, and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace, there’s really an opportunity where you’re allowed to step off for a little bit.”

Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask,you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade:

“I come here because I’m from a small town. I like how everybody comes together.”“I live right down that street; right there. And that’s my dog.”

Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime. That may be why so many people return each year.

64. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Middleburg Christmas parade

B. A small town known for horses

C. Christmas traditions in Middleburg

D. Newer traditions at Christmastime

65. At Christmas, people in Middleburg usually ___________.

A. visit friends and families

B. feed farm horses with hay

C. hunt for dogs in the woods

D. ride in the yearly parade

66. According to Trey Matheu, why do people visit Middleburg?

A. To relax themselves.

B. To enjoy the fresh air.

C. To escape competition.

D. To challenge themselves.

67. What do we know about the small town Middleburg?

A. It makes a large profit from tourism.

B. It attracts many people each year.

C. It is a good place for family gatherings.

D. It doesn’t respect Christmas traditions.

Some plants get so hungry they eat flies, and small frogs. What’s more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.

You’ve probably seen a Venus’ flytrap. It’s often sold in museum gift stores, department stores, and even supermarkets. A small plant, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks(茎)are leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny hairs. When an insect lands on them, the traps suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.

The Venus’ flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society’s Newsletter. He states despite any science-fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.

Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: “attract, kill, digest, and absorb” some form of insects. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants—well, most of the time.

All green plants make sugar to produce food. What makes meat-eating plants different is their special leaves, which need insects for one reason: nitrogen(氮). Nitrogen is a nutrient(营养物质) that they can’t obtain any other way. Why?

Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. Meat-eat ing plants can’t. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity .So they’ve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to meat-eating plants. Never fertilize(施肥) t hem! But don’t worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they’ll grow very slowly. 68. According to the passage, Venus flytrap .

A. is a small plant which grows in a container

B. is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily

C. can trap and feed on some form of insects

D. grows 6-8 inches tall

69. From the passage, we can infer that .

A. meat-eating plants are found nowhere else except Antarctica

B. All green plants get nitrogen from the soil

C. meat-eating plants endanger humans in science-fiction stories

D. The nutrient-poor soil is beneficial to meat-eating plants

70. Meat-eating plants grow very slowly, .

A. so you’d better fertilize them

B. probably because the supply of nitrogen is cut off

C. simply because they can’t absorb nitrogen from the soil

D. and then they will die slowly

71. Which of the following is true?

A. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants.

B. It’ hard to get nutrients in the soil when acidity is high.

C. Venus flytrap eats flies to get nutrient from them.

D. Green plants make sugar at night.

Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts(蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts.” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected area.

This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.

Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war

could cast many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.

Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares per day with pesticide(杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Adballahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.

Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s F ood and Agriculture Organization warned.

72. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author mainly meant to______.

A.show the size, speed and damage of the mass of locusts

B.suggest the high speed that locusts travel at

C.warn that locusts would sweep the continent severely

D.hint that they look like dark monster

73. The story is mainly about______.

A.West Africa’s united effort in fighting a disaster

B.the difficulty in controlling locusts

C.the great damage locusts caused to West Africa

D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa

74. According to the text we learn that the locust disaster______.

A.can be even more serious in Asia

B.is then out of control

C.has affected greatly most areas

D.cannot be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas

75.Which of the following is WRONG?

A.Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.

B.Senegal is to southwest of Sudan.

C.The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.

D.12 countries affected by locusts have untied but still lack pesticide.

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题, 共35分)

第四部分:写作(共两节, 满分35分)

第一节任务型读写(共10小题; 每小题1分,满分10分)

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

Self-motivation is a great way for doing things better in life. Exercising not only helps you to stay fit, but also freshens up your body from within. Despite being aware of the benefits of exercise, people fail to put it in their lives, because their motivation is very limited.

An optimistic attitude will not only help you to try continuously, but also make sure you fight all possible difficulties easily. On the other hand, a pessimistic attitude will show you only the bad in what you want to do, stopping your will to try at the very beginning.

To be determined about something takes a lot of courage. It’s very easy to give up and everyone can do it. To continuously keep at it, putting in the same efforts all the time, takes courage. Be determined to lose weight. Tell yourself you have to do it.

If your role model has been in your mind, then you are very likely to follow him or her. So why not follow the path by which they have got an envious figure?

Always feel good about where you work out. This way you will be regular with your workout schedule, gradually noticing the positive effects it has on you. This makes sure that you think your surroundings positively in your mind and that your probability of visiting it increases.

Every time you lose a decided number of pounds, congratulate yourself, relax your muscles or shop for relaxation.

If you have a fast-paced lifestyle, you won’t even realize when time flies by. By exercising regularly, you’re adding more years to your life. A long life is the best motivation, isn’t it?

Apart from all these things, you must set a goal and encourage all your energy towards achieving it. Last but not least, it’s very important that you enjoy what you are doing, whether it’s working out at the gym, or practicing yoga at home.

Dear editor,

As the college entrance examination is drawing near. We senior high school students are occupied with busy work. To a certain extent, PE class is our only chance to relax and enjoy ourselves at school. However, it is a pity that our present PE class is quite dull and sometimes even replaced by other subjects.

Not only can PE class build our body but it also can shape our personality. It serves to develop our awareness of cooperation and spirit of competition. Therefore, personally I hold the view that it would be a great loss to us students if it were replaced by other lessons. Meanwhile, I think the teacher can design and organize some fun sports besides dull field and track practice or ball games, where everyone can be involved and have fun as well. After all, not everybody thinks running, jumping or ball games appealing.

I hope PE class can not only enrich our school life but also enable everyone to find his or her own pleasure in it.

M: Actually, I feel fine right now. But you know every year around the holidays like clockwork I come down with something.

W: So you're interested in prevention.What symptoms do you usually get?

M: You know, cough, fever, runny nose, my head and bones ache etc.I usually feel miserably weak and it ends up ruining my holidays.

W: Sounds like a typical flu to me.Flu often strikes when people are overtired, stressed and not eating nutritious food. You must increase your exposure to a virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing.

M: I certainly spend a lot of time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for people. So what can I do to fight off the illness?

W: Actually it's fairly simple.Get a lot of rest and eat well.And most of all, keep away from the crowd during the holidays.

M: That makes sense.Thank you very much.

W: Welcome to our program, Mr.Smith.

M: Thank you.

W: Mr.Smith, how long have you been a police officer?

M: I've been a police officer for thirty years.

W: Thirty years? And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.

M: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.

W: Mr.Smith, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful

job.Would you agree?

M: Yes, but it depends on your assignment. I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor, the fear of the unknown.

W: What do you mean, Mr.Smith?

M: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence.Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation.It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.However, many police officers injured during routine traffic stops.
