People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things we need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.‎ Lots of the money today is made of paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.‎ In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Some Africans once used elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt as money.‎ The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver.‎ But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use ‎ paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.‎ Money has had an interesting history, from the days of shell money until today.‎ ‎4. In the Philippines Islands ______ was once used as money.‎ A. rice B. knife C. cloth D. wheat ‎5. What was first used as money? ______.‎ A. Elephants tusks B. Cloth C. Salt D. Shells ‎6. The first metal coins looked like ______.‎ A. square-shaped with some designs on them ‎ B. square-shaped with a round hole in the center C. round-shaped with a square hole in the middle D. round-shaped with a round hole in the middle ‎7. The first paper money ______.‎ A. was passed from west Asia to China B. looked like a note used today C. was first used in Europe D. looked like a piece of fur ‎8. We can infer from the passage that ______.‎ A. paper money isn’t difficult to make ‎ B. money must be suited to carry C. people need money to exchange goods with each other ‎ D. people prefer metal coins to paper notes ‎(C) ‎ It’s roughly estimated that there are 450 million disabled people in the world. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the  total population of Canada.‎ In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.‎ Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many ‎ progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.‎ Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.‎ ‎9.The first paragraph points out that___________.‎ A. there are many disabled people in the world B. India has much more disabled people than Canada C. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people ‎10.The last word of the passage "count" most probably means___________.‎ A  be  numbered                            B. be most important C. be considered                            D. be included ‎11.Which of the following statements is not true?‎ A. About 10 percent of  people in the UK are disabled.‎ B. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.‎ C. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results from ignorance.‎ D. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.‎ ‎12.It can be concluded from the passage that___________.‎ A. both physical and metal barriers are hard to break down B. we should try our best to prevent disablement C. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled D. the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabled ‎（D） ‎ Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general. The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems. But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions. Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030. Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost (极度的) attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).” However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty. In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability(弱点) to climate hazards(危害)while still curbing (‎ 限制) the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report. ‎ ‎13. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum? ‎ ‎ A. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development. ‎ ‎ B. Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming. ‎ ‎ C. Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries. ‎ ‎ D. Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters. ‎ ‎14. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report? ‎ ‎ A. Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders. ‎ ‎ B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined. ‎ ‎ C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference. ‎ ‎ D. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.‎ ‎15. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference? ‎ ‎ A. How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming. ‎ ‎ B. How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced. ‎ ‎ C. How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale. ‎ ‎ D. How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards. ‎ 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 ‎ We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives. Instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to ignore the hurt and pain, but we can't hide from ourselves. __16__ The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely. 1. Breathe into pain Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running ‎ away. __17__When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness. 2. __18__ We're often confused at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start this process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right？” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome. 3. Spend time alone For most of our lives we're surrounded by people: our friends, family members, and strangers. __19__ When you spend time in solitude (孤独), you're free from the influences of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life. 4. Get outside of yourself __20__ But in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you've explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that － not through telling others, but through being with others. A. Have a light heart B. We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds. C. Is there anything I'm hiding from myself? D. When we run away from sadness, it gets stronger and more real. ‎ ‎ E. This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. F. Ask your heart what it wants G. How often do we really spend time alone?‎ ‎ III. 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）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.
