W：Oh，that sounds great!
Text 10
For many years, people in American cities have depended on farmers in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables. But now a new generation of farmers is planting crops in urban areas.
Sean is a college student. He wants to start a farm in the middle of Seattle, Washington. He says there are a lot of neighborhoods that don't have ways to get healthy, fresh produce. And if they do, it can be very expensive. So he sees unused space as a great place to grow food that will make it more easy for people to get good food.
Recently Sean created a website to get volunteers and donations. Within a week, they were offered a plot of land between two houses. Twenty volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.
Seattle has declared 2010 “The Year of Urban Agriculture”. But the growth of these farms is limited. That is because Seattle, like a lot of other cities，has restrictions on urban farms. The City Council is now considering changing those laws.
第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall，Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University，where he studied physics，and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.
Professor Hawking said: “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.”He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy，and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，”he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.”
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”
文章大意：文章向我们介绍了传奇科学家霍金。

A．Stephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.
B．Stephen Hawking couldn't read at the age of 7.
C．Stephen Hawking's handwriting was once terribly bad.

答案：A　细节理解题。由第三段的But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein，so presumably they saw signs of something better.可知绰号“爱因斯坦”是同学给起的，但并不意味着他就是第二个爱因斯坦。故A项不符合文意。
22．What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?
A．Patience. 　　　　　　　 B．Knowledge.
C．Disease. D．Laziness.
答案：C　细节理解题。由第二段最后一句．..only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neurone disease made him concentrate on his work.可知，是“运动神经元疾病”促使他有所作为。故选C项。
23．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Stephen Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.
B．It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.
C．The purpose of the doctor's diagnosis was to encourage him to work hard.
D．His life might be taken away by long hard work.
答案：B　段落大意题。由最后一段，特别是信息句He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death，it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”可知，他有可能要面对英年早逝的不幸事实。故选B项。
24．From whom did Hawking get a relatively just estimation when he was at school?
A．His sister. B．His classmates.
C．His teachers. D．His parents.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后霍金的话可知，尽管老师不看好他，同学们仍给他“爱因斯坦”的绰号，他们从他身上看到好的一面。
B
It was a late Wednesday night when the dreading(可怕的) phone call reached our home. I sat up, so I could hear the phone call better. To my surprise, I heard my mom burst into tears. “Get the car Dean! Andrea has been in a car accident.”
We_ran_every_stop_sign_on_the_way_to_the_hospital_and_our_tiresscreeched_around_every_corner.We got to the hospital, but were not allowed to see Andrea. The next morning, after wearing masks, we were allowed to go to the ICU to see Andrea. Well, the least I could say was that everything was injured in her body and she lost all of her memories. It was a fatal accident.
Over the next two months, I lived more at the hospital than I did at my house.I watched as Andrea worked so hard to gain back everyday motor skills. She never once complained or pitied herself，and her determined spirit was shining through. After two weeks in the ICU and two months of the regular hospital treatment, Andrea was able to come home. She missed several months of school, so it was hard for her to catch up.Andrea had tasks to accomplish, and no matter how hard it was, she stuck with them until the job was done. Though busy with dealing with pain and therapy, she always found time to love and play with me.
I'll never forget the impact that this incident made on my life.I admire her strong－willed personality and her determined spirit. Today she is perfectly normal, despite the scars and the pins holding her leg in place. I couldn't ask for a better sister, hero, or best friend.

Samuel Osmond is a 19－year－old boy student from Cornwall, England. He never studied thepiano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studied law and music.
Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note.” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, “It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

D
Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter，” he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all－important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self－control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic，” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self－control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.
文章大意：本文介绍了一个公司中对员工进行意志力的训练和要求。
33．We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.
A．learn to give lectures
B．attend education programs
C．design a working uniform
D．develop a common hobby
答案：B　细节理解题。根据文中的an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation可知本题答案为B项。
34．Willpower will become a habit when employees can ________.
A．focus on the profits
B．benefit from the job
C．protect themselves well
D．control their feelings well
答案：D　细节理解题。根据第四段的Sometimes it looks like people with great self－control aren't working hard—but that's because they're made it automatic可知本题答案为D项。
35．What can we infer from the passage?
A．G&G has grown into a large company.
B．G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C．G&G may become more successful in the future.
D．G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第五段的最后一句话Those courses are，in part... thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year 可知，这个公司注重员工意志力的培养，从一个疲软的公司成为利润很高的公司，可知，将来也会更成功。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I'm 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.
1. Take Care of Your Body
Life is “unfairly” biased(偏向的) towards people who “look good”， like it or not. So it's important that you do all that is in your power to look your best.__36__You will live longer，and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
2．__37__
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like The Millionaire Next Door. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
3．Think long－term
In high school I was thinking about college；in college I was thinking about life after college. I'm designing my life and I'm making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I'm in my 40's, 50's and 60's. You have to think long－term；you have to see the “big picture.”__38__
4. Realize the Power of Focus
Focus, focus, focus...__39__If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions.__40__Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip，because they just focus on achieving what is critical to their goals.
A．The importance of saving.
B．If you plan your future properly，you will live into your plans.
C．Save Your Money.
D．Nothing is more critical than focus.
E．What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goal.
F．I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
G．It's critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first.
答案：
36．F　根据下面“You will live longer，and you will live happier”说明本句是说要穿得好，吃得好，还要经常锻炼。故F项符合上下文。
37．C　根据本段“What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income.”倡导我们要存钱，以防意外情况的出现。
38．B　本段的标题是Think long－term即我们要有长远打算，要有恰当的未来计划，如果我们有了这样的计划，我们就能实现自己的目标。
39．D　根据该空前三个词，说明本段强调的是要集中注意力于我们的目标。
40．E　根据本句的上一句和下一句都是在强调要想成功就得把注意力集中于我们的目标上，这正是失败者和成功者最大的区别。故E项符合要求。
第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节；满分45分)
第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)，选出最佳选项。
“Mum, I want to make you a bet，” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars？”
“Well, if you can __41__ do it, ...”
“Of course I can，” I replied, __42__ to believe myself.
__43__， all this started from my __44__ of a picture in the newspaper. I couldn't stand looking at that boy, __45__to have gone one year without TV for a hundred dollars, staring at me with mocking(嘲笑的) eyes. He seemed to __46__ at me! “I did it, __47__ you can't！” he said. I __48__ at the boy's face angrily.
That year I did a lot of things. __49__， my father taught me to ski, which became my favourite sport. Many winter afternoons snowball wars with my neighbours __50__ daily drama. I went on bike trips with my friends and __51__as much as a fish.
It was unbelievable how much__52__ I had without TV. I learned so many new games. I guess the biggest thing I learnt, __53__， was self－motivation(自我激励)．
I started to do my __54__.I went from a D student to an A student within a couple of weeks.
I __55__ hate reading if there were no __56__， but now I began to read and enjoy it. I could make up all the __57__ just the way I wanted them—my own little __58__， right inside my head!
I'm __59__ what I did. I got a lot more from the __60__ than just the 100 dollars!
文章大意：本文讲的是“我”与母亲打赌，一年之内不看电视。这对原本很喜欢看电视的“我”来说简直是不可思议的事。不过那年“我”真的做到了，而且也有了很大变化：“我”由一个经常不及格的学生变成了一个优秀的学生，由原来不爱看书变成现在喜欢看书。
41．A.only B．really
C．occasionally D．finally
答案：B　上文提到“我”与母亲打赌，根据语境可看出妈妈对“我”戒掉看电视的习惯还有些怀疑。
42．A.trying B．advising
C．needing  D．asking
答案：A　从下文谈到报纸上的那个男孩及“我”的感受来看，“我”在回答***话时，想极力表现出自信，故用trying(分词短语作状语)。
43．A.However
B．What's more
C．As a result
D．In fact
答案：D　前面说“我”与妈妈打赌，此处通过in fact引出打赌的原因，即与妈妈打赌事实上是由报纸上的一幅图画引起的。
44．A.joy B．disbelief
C．anger D．curiosity
答案：C　从后面的小男孩嘲笑的眼神等可推测，报纸上的那幅画让“我”感到气愤。
45．A.managed B．expected
C．said D．had
答案：C　上文说“我”通过读报获悉一男孩因为一年没看电视而得到100美元的故事，此处是对这种情况的具体展开。由于逗号前没有连词，故此处用过去分词，即用said作定语，相当于who was said to have gone one year without TV...。
46．A.glare B．laugh
C．come D．shoot
答案：B　由上文．..staring at me with mocking eyes可推测，此处填laugh才能在语意上保持一致。laugh at意为“嘲笑”；glare at意为“盯着”；come at意为“向……扑去”；shoot at意为“向……开枪”。
47．A.and B．but
C．or D．besides
答案：B　前面说“我做到了”，与后面的you can't构成转折关系，故用but。
48．A.watched B．listened
C．saw D．looked
答案：D　前面说“我”好像被那男孩嘲笑了，心里非常生气，故用looked at the boy's face angrily才能在语意上与其保持一致。
49．A.Worse still  B．Such as
C．For example D．In place
答案：C　前面说那年“我”做了很多事，从下文的爸爸教“我”ski，还有snowball wars，bike trips等来看，此处是举例来说明，故用for example。
50．A.replaced B．formed
C．offered D．joined
答案：C　此处通过例子说明，为摆脱看电视，“我”从事了各种各样的有趣的活动，其中打雪仗给“我”带来了很多的紧张和刺激。
51．A.ran B．swam
C．breathed D．jumped
答案：B　由a fish可联想到“游泳”，故用B。
52．A.difficulty B．knowledge
C．fun D．trouble
答案：C　此处是对上面内容所做的总结，“不可相信的是没有电视我也可以玩得那么有趣”，即一年来“我”所从事的各种丰富多彩的活动给“我”带来很多乐趣。
53．A.though B．but
C．luckily D．even
答案：A　“我”没有看电视却学到了很多新游戏，与后面的“我”学到的最重要的东西就是自我激励为转折关系。由于此空在句中且有逗号分开，故此处应用though(但是)，但不能用but。

参考范文：
Madame Curie
Madame Curie (1867－1934)was a famous woman scientist.
She was born in a teacher's family in Poland. From her early childhood, she loved to study and hoped to become a scientist. She finished middle school at the age of 16. At 24 she left for Paris and entered Paris University. She lived a very simple life and studied very hard.
Madame Curie devoted her whole life to the study of science. She won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 and for Chemistry in 1911.
It is not easy for a woman to succeed in her work. It is even more difficult for a woman to win the Nobel Prize twice. So Madame Curie will always be remembered as a great woman.
