16．Since 1984，Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act．One by one，graffiticovered walls are being changed into outdoor art．So far，more than 1，800murals （壁畫） have been painted．Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city．
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti （涂鴉） are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，thanks to the Mural Arts Program （MAP）．Its work makes schools and public places attractive，and its citizens very proud．The program began as part of Philadelphia's AntiGraffiti Network．Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director．"When people ask me what our program is about，"she says，"I answer them with one word：hope"．Each year，the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops．Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals．
The MAP's work，says Golden，is all about developing a sense of community （社區）．When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message．Some messages have been"Safe Streets"，"Love and Care"，and"Peace Walk"．
The MAP receives up to 50requests for murals each week．Last year，the workers painted 140murals．
"The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary，pleasant moment in neighborhood history．"says Golden，who began as a muralist in Los Angeles．
28．What can be the best title for the text？A
A．Hope，One Wall at a Time
B．Jane，an Excellent Mural Artist
C．MAP，a New Company in Philadelphia
D．Love，from Graffiti Writers to Muralists
29．What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at？B
A．Attracting more visitors．
B．Fighting against graffiti．
C．Protecting the neighborhood．
D．Helping the young find jobs．
30．How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural？D
A．By studying the history of the city
B． By learning from the young graffiti writers．
C．By seeking advice from the city government．
D．By having discussions with people in the community．
31．Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP？A
A．Successful．B．Dangerous．C．Experimental．D． Difficult．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們介紹了費城壁畫的崛起和優點以及壁畫藝術的美好前景，MAP團隊在費城以hope為最大目的壁畫項目進行的十分成功，成功對抗了墻壁涂鴉，為社區的和諧作出了巨大貢獻．

解答 28．A　主旨大意題．根據第二段Jane Golden的話When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message可知，當人們問及該項目是關于什么的時候，她用一個詞來概括，即Hope，故選A
29．B　推理判斷題．根據第一、二段The walls that were once ugly with graffiti （涂鴉） are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，昔日曾經被涂鴉的墻壁正被美麗的壁畫所覆蓋，以使社區更具魅力，因此對抗涂鴉應是該項目的目的，故選B．
30．D　細節理解題．根據第三段第二句When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message可知，當社區的居民請求畫一張壁畫時，該項目的工作人員就和當地的人們一起工作來擬定出一個主題，故選D．
31．A　推理判斷題．根據第一段及倒數第二段So far，more than 1，800murals （壁畫） have been painted．Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city可知，該項目很成功，故選A．

點評 考察學生的細節理解和推理判斷能力．做細節理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題時，不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章事實，要根據文章進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

7．I fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own．What would life be like，I wondered，without a beautiful song？In 1992，I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang．"Sam，"she said earnestly，"Your songs should be heard by more people，"
She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me，her singing barber husband．Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs．After the programme was aired，I became known in our community as the Singing Barber．
The biggest surprise，however，was still to come．I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract．He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs．I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia．
    But I hesitated．
    My friends all told me to go for it．And Mary also thought I should do．"Go，Sam．I'll manage with the family…it'll be OK．"
I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard．Soon they would both be in high school…and where would I be？I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support．If I were to start a singing career，I would not only miss them terribly，I'd also certainly miss out on watching them grow up．Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and me…and I couldn't bear it．My family was my life．So I refused the music promoter's offer．I'm still making music，I'm rich in love and I have no regrets．

56．When the author was offered the contract，most of his friendsC．
    A．envied him                           B．laughed at him
    C．encouraged him                       D．didn't believe him
57．Why did the author give up the contract？D
    A．Because his wife was strongly against it．
    B．Because the pay was not attractive enough．
    C．Because he wanted to care about his two kids．
    D．Because he didn't want his family life damaged．
58．According to the passage，we can infer the authorB．
    A．used to be a country singer                    B．preferred his present life
    C．went on the road to fame                       D．regretted giving up his contract
59．What does the author mainly intend to tell us？C
    A．One should know himself．           B．Interest is the best teacher．
    C．Family should come first．          D．Every dog has its day．

11．A recent finding has showed that blue-eyed people have already been living in Europe for at least 7，000years．
A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin，according to scientists who have arranged his DNA in order．This surprising combination of eye，hair and skin coloring may not have been unusual during his lifetime，but it is no longer seen among modem Europeans，reported by the journal Nature．
The man，a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La BranaⅠ，is of great interest to scientists because he offers a brief introduction to what was in Europeans'DNA before agriculture spread through the continent．Experts have theorized that certain genetic feature spread quickly among humans after they adopted the farming lifestyle．La BranaⅠshows that at least some of their predictions were correct．
The man's skeleton，along with that of a male companion，was discovered in 2006in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain．The site，known as La Brana-Arintero，sits about 5，000feet above sea level，and the cave provided a cold，refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA．
In the lab，scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La BranaⅠ's entire genome （基因組）．They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans（including Otzi，the 5，300-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier） and determined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers．
When it came to genes that would influence La BranaⅠ's appearance，the researchers found that their 7，000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment（色素） genes that are either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today．Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation（色素沉著）and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants（變種）．Taken together，La BranaⅠ's DNA"is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair，"they wrote．
However，his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue，the scientists found．This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together，they wrote，adding that La BranaⅠ's combination"of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European populations．"Today，a blue-eyed person would typically have fair skin．To get some idea of whether La BranaⅠ's coloring was unusual for his day，the researchers will try to arrange in order the DNA of his companion，who has been named La BranaⅡ．
32．Scientists have carried out the research into La BranaⅠbecause they wanted to know
C．
A．today's Europeans'DNA             
B．the ancient agriculture in Europe．
C．European hunter-gatherers'DNA．
D．the correctness of some of their predictions
33．La BranaⅠ's skeleton was best preserved mainly because ofB．
A．the height of the cave                
B．the cold condition in the cave
C．the location of the cave              
D．the wet condition in the cave
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE？B
A．La BranaⅠ's gene variants spread together．
B．La BranaⅠ's DNA influences his appearance．
C．Today's blue-eyed person may typically have rough rather than fair skin．
D．La BranaⅠ's gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans'．
35．The last paragraph suggests thatC．
A．La BranaⅡhas the same genome with La BranaⅠ．
B．Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7，000years ago．
C．It's not certain that La Brana's appearance was common at that time．
D．BranaⅠ's combination of dark skin and non-brown is popular in contemporary Europeans．

4．The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution．Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking，heating and lighting．
These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves，space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths．
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke，heart and lung disease，childhood pneumonia and lung cancer．Women and girls are the main victims．These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels．These fuels include wood，coal，animal waste，crop waste and charcoal．
The United Nations found that more than 95percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking．It says huge populations in India，China and Latin American countries，such as Guatemala and Peru，also are at risk．
Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpoo1．He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way．There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels．There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove that is made by Dometic（a Sweden-based company）that is now being tested out．LPG（liquified petroleum gas）cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient．Another interesting development is electric induction stoves（電磁爐）．WHO experts note some new，safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available．In India，you can bay an induction stove for about 8.00．AndinAfricayoucanbuyasolarlampforlessthan1.00．
But，this，the agency says，is just a start．It is urging developing counties to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances．
24．What does the indoor pollution mainly result fromA？
A．Poisonous fuels．    B．High technology．
C．Space heaters．D．Solar energy．
25．How is Paragraph 3mainly developed？C
A．By showing differences．    B．By describing a process．
C．By making a list．D．By analyzing causes．
26．What can we infer from the textB？
A．Indoor pollution results in many diseases．
B．Most of the deaths are in developing countries．
C．The solid fuels are used in more efficient ways．
D．There is no indoor pollution in developed countries．
27．Which of the following is true of different technologiesD？
A．LPG cooks are being tested out．
B．Alcohol stoves are widely used now．
C．Electric induction stoves are expensive．
D．Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa．

12．If you need to spend time on the road，it's important to find ways to keep safe on your feet．Don't suppose it's your right of way．Yes，you might be crossing at the right place，at the right time，within the crosswalk area，but you are still exposed to danger．It could be a distracted driver，or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules，so you could still get hurt．You can be in the right legally，but that won't be much help when you're in the hospital．
Follow pedestrian signals．Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection，pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals．If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits （數字），stay where you are．Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red．
Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing．Don't suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals．Some provinces，such as Alberta，issue （發出）a ticket if you don't give drivers enough time to brake．
Cross quickly．Once you've followed all of the other rules，and it is safe to cross the street，don't then just wander along in front of six lanes （車道）of traffic．There's no need to run or jog，but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you．
21．Who is the text intended for？D
A．Drivers．B．Cyclists．C．Police．D．Pedestrians．
22．What does the underlined word"distracted"in Paragraph 2mean？D
A．Considerate．B．Strange．C．Kind-hearted．D．Absent-minded．
23．In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined？A
A．Racing against time with drivers．
B．Following crosswalk signals．
C．Crossing the crosswalk area．
D．Walking outside six lanes．
24．What can be a suitable title for the text？B
A．Rules for Traffic Police
B．Tips to Keep Safe on Your Feet
C．Things Every Driver Should Know
D．Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers．
