With the help of financial contributions from the local community，she gathered a wedding cake，dress，flowers，and make-up for the little girl.Friends，family，and even strangers attended the event to show their support.“Your dad may not live to see you get married，but he is here to walk you down the aisle today，” Gary Galbraith，the pastor(牧师)，said in the ceremony.“The daddy and daughter relationship is one of the most special relationships in life.”At the ceremony，Zetz placed a ring on Josie’s finger as the pastor called them “daddy and daughter”．Josie’s mini-wedding coincided(同时发生) with her 11th birthday.Her mother said，“I knew it would be her last birthday with her dad.If I were Josie，this would be the best gift anyone could give.”“It was a beautiful ceremony，” the neighbor Jennifer Stout said，“It’s sad to think of someone so young losing her dad but at least she will have a memory of this event.”Why did Villatoro help to organize the wedding ceremony?A. To celebrate Josie’s birthday.B. To meet Zetz’s demand.C. To grant Josie’s wish.D. To comfort the dying father.22. From the passage，we can know that         .A. Josie didn’t know about her father’s illnessB. the wedding ceremony gained much supportC. Josie was not satisfied with the wedding ceremonyD. Zetz was fighting his illness bravely23. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The 11-year-old daughter was sad for losing her father.B. The dying father walked his daughter down the aisle.C. Photographer Lindsey Villatoro filmed an important event.D. Josie spent her last birthday with her dying father.BOne of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we don’t like，we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature，or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different.However，it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad，rather than saying，“It’s not bad or good，and it just is it.”In one of my books，I said，“You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned.” Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However，it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness，because you’ll no longer say，“Oh，I wish bad things didn’t happen！”Does it mean you can never change things？Not at all.But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place？You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this world.That’s the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that path.Therefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because         .we dislike something in the beginningit is our natural emotion in the lifeculture asks us to be different from otherseveryone has their own opinions on things25. In Paragraph 4，the underlined word “It” refers to “        ”．A. acting well at work and in politicsB. feeling depressed for the news mediaC. accepting and understanding what has happenedD. saying something negative when bad things come26. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Judging good or bad is important for our world.B. Expecting things to be different gives us hope.C. Traditional culture becomes the root of unhappiness.D. Accepting can make our life happier and better.  CResearchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space.The researchers say the material can cool buildings even on hot days.The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels(板)．However，instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do，the material turns heat into radiation.Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University.He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand.The panels act like a mirror.They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun.And he says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space.“It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input，even under the sun.So，what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun.Mr Fan says it is like having a window into space.The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.”He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels.“In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people，there is a potential benefit for storing medicine or even food.In many of these situations，being able to reduce the temperature is important.And this would provide a way to do it.”The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high­tech panels.They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(喷涂)that could be used on present solid structures.They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years.They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.  The first paragraph mainly tells us        .A. a new material is created to cool the buildingsB. living on hot days is no longer a big problem nowC. researchers are developing new solar panels on roofsD. the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers28. How does the panel work?A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.C. It sends heat away right into space.D. It has a window to let out the heat.29. The new material is especially useful in areas that         .A. suffer high temperatureB. have poor air conditioningC. have plenty of foodD. are short of power30. What can you infer from the passage?A. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.B. The appliance of the new panel is still under research.C. People may have problems in using the new material.D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy. 第二节七选五 (10)Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know，drinking water benefits your skin，muscles and organs.  31  The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you’re a baby，you’re 75 percent water.Then，as you get older，you get drier.  32   It helps you lose weight，according to a study from the University of Birmingham.The researchers found that drinking 500ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants(参与者) lose 10 more pounds than those who did not.  33   All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels.84 overweight adults were involved.Among them 41 were told to “preload” with water，while 43 were told to control their water intake(摄取量) before eating.After 12 weeks，the participants instructed to “preload” with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average.In addition，the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks.  34  Dr Helen Parretti，a lecturer at the University of Birmingham，had this to say of the study：  35   Just drinking 500ml water，three times a day，before your main meals may help reduce your weight...and this could be an easy way for weight loss.Furthermore，it can be important for a person to lose extra weight，making a potential contribution to public health.Another reason to drink water is right here.It also helps prevent certain diseases and improve your mood.C. But not everyone can always get tap water in some areasD. The beauty of these findings is that losing weight is simple.E. The study began with a weight management consultation.F. So kids should drink more water instead of Coke to keep healthy.G. In contrast，those preloading once a day or never lost just 1.76 pounds. 三、完形填空（30）As everyone grows，they realize there will always be someone who is better.I learned this   36   in the second year in high school.The shock this experience brought was so great that I felt my   37   was left on the side of the road for dead.That was all it took；one year and one person  38   everything.Her name is Jenny.She was the girl who   39   raised her hand and had useful comments about everything.When teachers needed challenging problems answered，they   40   her.And if students needed   41  ，they went looking for her.I didn’t   42   her，but I admit her presence annoyed me.In the first year，as a model student，I was the person everyone   43   and all the teachers trusted.Then she came out of   44  ！We also had two classes   45  .There I got to see what everybody thought of her.When an exam finished，it became a   46   that she got the top grade and it didn’t   47   to my classmates whether I was right there，  48   I also got excellent grades.They would cross a desert and   49   her!

Even if it is easy to buy and cheap，the risks outweigh(胜过) the five minutes of satisfaction that fast food brings.There are many risks when it comes to eating food that’s made in just a few of seconds.What you eat can affect your health.People who are addicted to fast food are more likely to suffer from various life­threatening diseases.Obesity(肥胖) can come when fast food is bought often.Fast food is made from a lot of fats and high calories.If it isn’t removed，then you can grow to become obese.Even a small quantity of fast food contains many calories.People are fooled by its appearance and they tend to eat more.Thus，without knowing，they consume a lot of calories.What’s worse，obesity isn’t the only risk.Heart disease is also a danger.The more fats，sugar and salt you eat，the weaker your heart can grow.Another concern for most consumers is that they can’t keep track of the sources of the food supplies in fast food restaurants.They never know about the living conditions of the animals killed for meat in those restaurants，like cows，pigs，and chicken.A recent study has suggested that bacteria have been found in about 38% fast food.Even some soft drinks are now infected by food­borne illnesses that usually come from meat.Although fast food is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of eating，the health risks aren’t worth your life，and risking your life for something that isn’t good for you could cost thousands of dollars in hospital bills.It is important to eat healthily and make good choices when deciding what to put in your body.Don’t be lazy and pick up fast food on your way home from work.
