His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Berties feet when Father cleared his throat and began, Youll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. Weve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. But the lion, he cried, What about the lion?Im afraid theres something else I have to tell you, his father said. Looking across at Berties mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus(马戏团) owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days. No! You cant send him to a circus! said Bertie. People will come to see him. Hell be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. Hed rather die. Any animal would! But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up. Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his fathers deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his fathers rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lions neck. The time had come. Be wild now, he whispered. Youve got to be wild. Dont ever come home. All my life Ill think of you. I promise I will. He buried his head in the lions neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away. When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lions head.56.

The passage intends to show that _.A. animal-hunting is popular in AfricaB. parents are sometimes cruel to their childrenC. animals usually lead a miserable life in circusesD. people and animals can be faithful to each otherCHumankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a person. However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost inevitably associated with environmental damage. Economic growth is the increase in numbers of goods and services produced over time by an economy, and its calculated in terms of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Before growth is calculated, inflation(通货膨胀) is adjusted in order to take into account its misleading effect on the price of goods and services. Economic growth can also be explained as the increase in expected output, which results from an increase in actual output, or total demand.There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long- term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. They also lead to global warming. Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings.In order to produce economically practical energy, a sometimes significant transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would Block airflows natural speed, which is the reason for their decrease in strength, after crossing the windmill. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure. For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without resulting in any environmental damage is impossible.63. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Pollution caused by plant construction B. Effects of windmills on the environmentC. Economic growth and human civilization D. Economic growth and environmental damage64. According to the passage, the author holds the opinion that _.A. economic growth should be calculated in terms of GDPB. use of natural resources causes no damage to the environmentC. industrial manufacturing may cause damage to the environmentD. a windmill is a perfect way to produce economically practical energy65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?DEver tried taking smart drugs to perform better in exams? They certainly work. Before last summers exam, a few of my mates, merely out of curiosity, took a considerable amount of Modafinil, a drug normally used for narcolepsy(嗜眠发作症). Guess what? While I was feeling sleepy, bored by revision, my mates were more focused.Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours. It also sharpens the mind, improves memory and helps problem-solving. But it does more than just keeping you awake. It disturbs your mental system, making you desperate to do what you are doing. You just dont want to do anything else but revise all the time non-stop.A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs, like Modafinil, to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off, because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs. This might sound like what a stressed student desires. However, the pills have a range of side-effects.At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people, as a medical expert puts it, Ordering online, though easy, is a dangerous way to obtain drugs. You never know what youre actually purchasing. In my experience, Modafinil changes peoples behaviour too. Over those weeks my friends became different peoplein turn aggressive, cold. Even eating became a waste of time and so did conversation.A BBC survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before, 92% would do so again. My friends say theyd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.I admit I was curiousbut not enough to try it. Seeing the strange behaviour of other users, I feel a little bit upset and scary. Modafinil may promise to change your grades, but it might also change the way you act. Dont say you havent been warned!66. According to the author, his mates took Modafinil for the purpose of_.A. escaping from reality B. getting better exam resultsC. curing their narcolepsy D. leading an active life67. Taking the smart drug can lead to _.A. cheating in the exam B. dropping out of schoolC. youth crime(犯罪) D. drug addiction(上瘾)68. What does the author think of his mates taking the smart drugs?A. Worrying. B. Inspiring.C. Acceptable. D. Reasonable.69. Which statement about Modafinil is wrong? A. Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving. B. Modafinil more than just keeps you awake. C. Modafinil has a range of side effects. D. Modafinil is safe in healthy people.70. Who are the target readers of this passage?A. Teachers. B. Doctors. C. Scientists. D. Students.第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题，满分10分）请认真阅读短文，并依据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只填一个单词。Back to School: Why Grit(毅力) Is More Important than Good Grades?The back-to-school season is upon us, and once again, parents across the country have loaded their kids backpacks up with snack packs and school supplies.
