In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isnt accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people dont need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.21. People with little education usually _. A. spend a long time in school B.have fewer chances to get a good job C. have a good chance to get a job D. spend the best years to choose jobs 22. The earliest education was probably to _. A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and read C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books23. It is expected that educated people will be able to _. A. accept education as a way of living B.learn subjects like language and mathC. develop their abilities to make plays D.take an interest in the whole worldBProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (擲) a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!24. What did the authors classmates think about his report? A. sad. B. Boring. C. ridiculous D. Puzzling.25. Why was the author confused about the task? A. He was unfamiliar with American history. B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin. C. He forgot his teachers instruction.D. He was new at the school.26. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _.A. annoyed B. ashamed C. eager D. ready27. In the end, the author turned things around _.A. by redoing his task B. with the help of his grandfather C. through his own efforts D. under the guidance of his headmasterCAn eco-friendly Danish company has come up with a new productplantable pencils, as a way of highlighting the concept of sustainability(可持續(xù)性). The creations made by Danish company Sprout focus on things you can recycle and plant like pencils, cards and stickers.Their plantable pencils are one of their hot products. As the name suggests, plantable pencils are fitted with a small capsule at the end that contains seeds. Michael Stausholm, Sprouts chief manager, says once the pencil is too short to use, it can be planted in soil instead of being thrown away. “It shows peoplekids, grownupsin a very easy way what sustainability is all about. Dont just use things and throw them away. Use things, and then use them for something else. In this case, we give it new life. ”The seeds inside the capsules range from flowers to herbs and fruiting plants. The botanist says they are testing out more varieties, especially those difficult to grow in cooler northern European homes to ensure their pencils contain the best possible variety of a particular seed.Stausholm said, “People seem to really love the eco pencil and the fact that it has so many practical uses. I also think the fact that it is 100 per cent sustainable and is handmade from only natural materials makes it more appealing.Sprout now sells between 300,000 and 400,000 pencils a month. IKEA, Disney, Pepsi, and Bank of America, as well as public bodies and citizens, are all on Sprouts customer list.They are also developing small waterproof boxes called “Tiny Gardens”, targeted at people who dont want to keep soil in the kitchen.Though some are ignoring their importance when it comes to longer term sustainability, Stausholm says the plantable products can still make an impact. “We dont think that we save the planet at all, but its a small thing, its the small things that we do in our everyday lives, step by step. We can all make a difference in the way we think when we consume.”28. Whats special about the plantable pencil?A. It can grow into different plants. B. It can be made into different seeds. C. It can be planted in special soil. D. It can be kept in waterproof boxes.29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Plantable pencil is the only successful product of Sprout. B. Only handmade products will have sustainability. C. The plantable pencils have become popular in many countries. D. The eco pencil are refused in northern European countries.30. The author writes the passage in order to_. A. advertise the plantable pencils to the world B. introduce a new and sustainable way of writing C. make a difference in the world step by step D. introduce a new and eco-friendly product第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。(注意：答題卡E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD)More than half the planets population now live in cities, with limited access to the natural world. For Europe and Latin America, the figure is more than 70%. 31 Gardening in particular is an opportunity for everyone to have such kind of experience, even if they live in built-up areas. It is typically seen as moderate (適度的) intensity exercise equal to playing doubles tennis or walking at a speed of 3.5mph, so it has similar fitness benefits. 32 Home and gardens have long been important for family food production, but gardening can also encourage people to eat more healthily and act as an educational resource on nutritious food. In fact, children who take part in gardening and grow their own food have a greater preference for, and increased consumption of, fruit and vegetables. 33 Research has shown that gardeners generally have greater life satisfaction, raised self-esteem（自尊） and fewer feelings of depression and anger than non-gardeners.This last point suggests that the mental benefits of gardening may be more than just a side-effect of the physical exercise involved. 34 People with strong social networks have an increased life expectancy, less stress and fewer visits to the doctor. In addition, spending time outdoors in a natural environment helps us to feel less stressed, reduce the symptoms（癥狀）of depression, and improve our concentration and attention.All this evidence shows theres a strong relationship between gardening and health, but we only know for sure that there is connection, not “cause and effect”. 35 We also need to directly examine the immediate effects of gardening on people who have never previously taken part or are suffering from mental and physical ill health.A. Gardening is also linked to better diets.B. But more than this, it can promote peoples mental health.C. One possible reason is that gardening can involve social interaction. D. A good eating is supposed to include a balance of several food groups.E. Yet contact with nature has varieties of benefits for both physical and mental health.F. Remaining socially active can also inspire seniors to build confidence and live a healthy life.G. This means gardening alone is not necessarily a direct cause of any improvements in health.第三部分 英語知識運用（共兩節(jié), 滿分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空 (共20小題；每小題1.5分, 滿分30分)閱讀下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后從4160 各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中選出最佳選項, 并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。In this age of environmental crises, perhaps it comes no surprise that Stella Bowles found one in her own backyard.
