Dear Tom,
You asked me why I like living in New Mexico. I like it
21
it is so beautiful. We have
mountains, mesas (平顶山), rivers,and forests. Mesa is the Spanish 22
for a broad, flat-topped
mountain. For 12 years, I have
23
across the state several times a month, and I still find new
places that take my breath away.
24 else do I like about living in New Mexico? I like the sunshine. We have over 300
25
days
a year, with deep blue skies. Because we are 7,000 feet above 26 level and the weather is very dry,
the air is very 27 and the nights here are much colder than the days.
The many days of sunshine are a very good thing for our state. Do you know that New Mexico
28
more than 3,200 hours of sunlight every year? With that much sunlight, we are one of the
sunniest states in the United States. Some people. 2 9 that if we could use the energy from all of the
sunlight here, we could 30 more than enough power for the whole United States!
The weather in New Mexico is good for 31
energy out of sunlight, but sometimes the lack of
rain is a
32
for people living here. Most of the state is desert, and there isn't enough water
33
drinking, growing food, and other uses. Farming is very difficult here because of the water shortage (短
缺). There are many laws about water use in New Mexico so that everybody uses just enough. The so
for water increases as more and more new homes are built.
,as with all places, there are things that are wonderful and yet others that are
35
about living in
New Mexico. How about you? Do you like living where you are?
Yours, Anna
21.A.because B.where C.once D.although

27.A.dirty B.dark C.clean D.hot
28.A.receives B.produces C.sends D.earns
29.A.talk B.say C. reply D. order
30.A.hold B.reduce C. provide D.catch

选择项中选出最佳的 一 项。
A
A number of children with special educational needs are home educated when schools cannot meet their
needs.
As a parent, you must make sure that your child receives a full-time education suitable to their age and
ability from the age of five. You do not need to be a good teacher and your child does not have to follow
the National Curriculum ( 国 家 课 程 标 准 )or take national tests. There is no money directly from the
central government for parents who decide to educate their children at home, but the local ( 当 地 的 )
governments do provide guidance for parents, including free National Curriculum materials.
Local governments should keep an eye on the parents who educate their children at home to make
sure that a suitable education is being provided. You can provide evidence ( 证 据 ) that your child is
receiving a suitable education by writing a report and providing some of your child's work. You can also
invite a local government officer to your home or meet him outside the home, with or without your child
being present—officers have no right to get to your home without permission.
36.What should the parents of home-educated children promise to do?
A.Send the children to take national tests. B. Get help from schools.
C.Provide a full-time education. D. Use the National Curriculum.
B.problem
B.for
B.time
B.expensive
C.reason
C. with
C.aim
C.beautiful
D.purpose
D.to
D. peace
D.familiar
37.Who will guide the parents in children's home education?
A.The central government. B. A school teacher
C.The report writers. D. The local governments.
38.What can local governments offer for home education?
A.Full-time teachers. B.Enough money.
C.National test reports. D.National Curriculum materials.
39.What can parents do to show that their home education is suitable?
A.Provide reports and some of their child's work.
B.Become a school teacher in home education.

"Most children carry their phone in their back pocket, and when someone reaches for it, in my mind
they're reaching for a gun,"said Della Fave, a spokesman ( 发 言 人 ) for New Jersey police. Della
Fave shared a photo of the iPhone case ( 外 壳 ) that he found on a social website (网页) . In the
photo, a model stands with her phone in her back pocket, and the case looks like a gun.
Della Fave said,"If a child draws the phone with the gun-like case before policemen, the first
thing they're going to see as it's coming up is a gun. This doesn't seem like a good idea at all to a
policeman.”
The phone case is sold online by various sellers at prices from about $5 to $49 and comes in
several different colors."The case is popular. That's why we sell it. If you have the case, you can play
games of shooting at parties," said the Trend Shop."Don't worry. You can't actually shoot anyone!"
A policeman gave a few words of advice,"I would NOT suggest buying this kind of phone case,
which was designed to look like a gun."
It is not clear who makes the case."If it's on the web, then it's out there somewhere; that's the
bottom line,"said Della Fave.
40.What could Della Fave probably be?
A.A model. B. A shop owner.
C.A police officer. D. A designer.
41.What do policemen say about the gun-like phone case?
A.It is cool for people to carry such cases.
B.It should be widely sold online.
C.It is not a good idea buying this kind of case.
D.It should not be made in different colors.
42.The phone case is shaped like a gun so that users can
A.help improve the website B.play games of shooting
C. hide their phones safely D.actually shoot someone

A zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed ( 展 示 ) to the public. Some people argue
that a zoo need not be a place for animal display alone,and may also include raising animal species ( 物
种 ) which are becoming less and less.
Animal rights groups are divided on the matter of keeping animals in zoos—with some in favor of this
practice, and others calling for a ban (禁令) . The most important reason that those in favor of this
practice put forward is that it offers protection for animals. For those species which are fighting for their life,
zoos are the best places where they get plenty of food, water and medical care when needed.
Those who are against the practice argue that the idea of "displaying animals to the public" is itself a
strong enough reason for banning. They further add that the practice of using animals for our own selfish
gains cannot be a good reason under the excuse of protection. The treatment of animals in these zoos is
yet another big worry, with quite a few reports about ill-treatment ( 虐 待 ) of animals once in a while.
It's very difficult to come up with a clear idea on whether it is right to keep animals in zoos or not. It
is true that the animals are protected in these places as they don't get into conflict with humans. But, at the
same time, one has to admit that keeping them in zoos equals a disrespect for nature. These animals are
born to live in the wild, and we should accept this fact.
43.Some animal rights groups are in favor of the zoo because it can
A.attract visitors B.make money C.train animals D. protect animals
44.Those who are against the zoo think that people should
