Now nin

18、e years 37 . Her black hair has 38 gray and her face is wrinkled,” reads the introduction to Fengs online album 39 to his mother, Yu Hualing, 46, who supported Fengs education. Fengs photos 40 with an old camera have touched the hearts of many Chinese. His website has received more than 400,000 clic

19、ks and 7,000 comments. Many say his photos of his mother is the most moving pictures of 2010. Some viewers have praised his courage.

No one laughed at him. Feng began to 51 cans and bottles around the campus for recycling for money and his classmates helped

24、 him. When he graduated he decided to 52 his moms story with more people. “I am proud of my mom. I understand after so many years that there might be many moms with lowly（卑贱的jobs,” said he, “but there is no price on a mothers love - and every child should cherish and respect his or her parents.” Fen

25、g did not expect that his photos would 53 an emotional chord（弦）with so many people. He got e-mails from around the country. One woman wrote: “I felt 54 when I saw your pictures.

30、oming out at the same time. But Ge You, 53, finds it all a bit of a burden (负担). Ge fears air travel, which means he will have to travel thousands of kilometers by train and car to promote (宣传) the movies. Chen Kaiges Sacrifice (赵氏孤儿) came out on December 4. Ge plays a doctor who saves an orphan (孤儿

31、) at the cost of his own baby. He also appears as a swindler (骗子) in Jiang Wens Let the Bullets Fly, which appears on December 16. Next comes Feng Xiaogangs romantic comedy, If You Are the One 2 (非诚勿扰2), to open six days later. Ge plays a middle-aged cinematographer (电影摄影师) in search of love.Ge is b

32、est known for playing ordinary characters. In Fengs popular series of “new year comedies” he gives a convincing sense of “the little man up against it (处境困难)”. Feng Xiaogang says the actor exhausts (使疲惫) himself trying to satisfy friends. He is also very careful not to offend anyone. Ge is a thought

33、ful man who pauses a lot in conversation to think over his answers. He rarely turns down a request for an autograph or picture. There was once a fan who said to him: “You wait here, I will go get a pen.” Ge actually waited for the man to return. “It was the 20,000th time for me to sign an autograph

34、but it was probably a new experience for him,” Ge said. “The first time means a lot.” He says he doesnt think of himself as a star, just as a working actor. “An actor is like a worker; you do your job and go home,” he said. The old adage (谚语) is never far from his mind: The higher you climb, the har

36、le B. strict C. serious D. romantic59.We can infer from the last paragraph that Ge You _. A.fears to climb too high B.doesnt want to be a star C.would like to live an ordinary life D.wants to be a workerBIts interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries

37、. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难). There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Brita

38、in is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immedia

39、tely takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) bread, vegetables and other things not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that somet

40、hing bad should happen.”Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians dont have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires

41、snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.60.According to the writer, Britain is

42、 a country_.A.which has regular snow B.which is not well prepared for snowC.for which snow is not a catastrophe D.for which snow is a wonder61.The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except_A. traffic B. communicationC.food supplies D. service quality62.After a few hours snowing

43、there are often shortages of food because_Ashops have closed down Bpeople buy as much as they canCfarmers cant produce any more Dpeople eat more vegetables in winter CWhen someone says “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music”, it doesnt mean that he is planning to go to hear a singer. It is someth

44、ing far less happy, as you are called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or thatAt sometime or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry word “I want to talk to you”. And it was only be

45、cause we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If-that means parents cold faces and contempt(鄙视) of the teachers and classmates.“To face

46、 the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.64.If you didnt listen to your fathers words, you would “face the music” or _.A

47、.do something to please him B.do something to make him angryC.be punished by him D.be pleased with him65. After the exam, well have to “face the music”.

The young A

49、mericans know what “to face the music” meansD. Only the old in the United States know the meaning of “to face the music” DA Low-Carbon(碳) Economy(经济) (LCE) or Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy (LFFE) is an economy which has a smallest output(输出) of greenhouse gas (GHG) release(排放) into the atmosphere, but spe

50、cifically refers to the greenhouse gas CO2. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion that there is such an accumulation(积聚) of GHG (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to human-related activities that the climate is changing. The over-concentration of these gases

51、is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts(影响)on humanity in the foreseeable future. Globally performed LCEs therefore, are proposed(提议) as a means to avoid catastrophic(灾难的;激变的) climate change, and as a forerunner to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and

52、renewable-energy economy.Some nations are low-carbon societies which are not heavily industrialized or populated. In order to avoid climate change at any point in the future, all nations considered carbon-thick societies and societies which are heavily populated should become zero-carbon societies a

53、nd economies. Several of these countries have promised to become low carbon but not entirely zero carbon, and claim(声称) that release will be cut by 100% by offsetting release rather than stopping all release. In other words, some release will continue which will be offset(补偿;抵消), so they are not low

54、-release.Nations seek to become low-carbon economies as part of a national global warming reduction strategy. A comprehensive strategy to manage global warming is carbon neutrality(中立;中立地位), geoengineering and adaptation to global warming.Nuclear(核) power, or, the proposed strategies of carbon colle

55、ction and storage (CCS) have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit(开发)non-renewable resources; there is concern, however, with the matter of spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security(安全) and the uncertainty of costs and time needed to successfully carry out CCS w

56、orldwide and with guarantees that the stored release will not leak(漏,渗)into the atmosphere. Alternatively(二者择一地), many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency(低效率); this is changing, however, since inves

57、tment(投资) and production have been growing significantly(显著地)in recent times. Furthermore, regardless of the effect to the atmosphere by GHG releases, the growing issue(问题)of peak oil may also be reason enough for a change to a LCE. 68.The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means _. A.

58、warningB. pioneerC. symbolD. guide69.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Nuclear power could act as one of the primary means to achieve a LCE. B. Theres worry about spent-nuclear-fuel storage, security and the uncertainty of costs. C. The stored release will be likely to

59、 leak into the atmosphere. D. Renewable energy tends to become the only means to achieve a LCE.70.From the last paragraph, we can infer that the writers attitude toward the proposal of using renewable energy is _. A. negativeB. positiveC. self-confidentD. doubtful第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列
