【题目】Though the last book of the spectacular (壮观的) Harry Potter series was released seven years ago in 2007, the young wizard continues to be extremely popular with both kids and adults. Over the years, Harry Potter fans have been able to experience numerous aspects of the young wizard’s life, right down to his favorite drink — butter beer. Now thanks to a British hotel, they can also spend a night in the wizard’s Hogwarts Castle dormitory room.

The four-star Georgian Hotel in Central London, which recently opened its two wizard chambers(房间), is ideally suited to reproducing J.K. Rowling’s school of wizardry (巫术). That’s because the hotel, which is still run by the descendants of the original owners, dates all the way back to 1851. It still remains its original styles inside.

According to the owner of the 163-year-old Georgian Hotel, the idea originated as a way to create a kid-friendly environment in a hotel that is well-known for its Victoria Classic and Belgravia Boutique rooms.

The wizard chambers that have been refinished to resemble the Hogwarts Castle dormitory rooms are furnished with everything a wizard fan could think of — four-poster beds, stone wash basins, potion bottles, cauldrons (汽锅，大锅), spelling books and even study tables. In order to make them appear even more magical, the hotel owners have added their own special touches that include placing a wand in the hand of the Mona Lisa painting that is in one of the chambers.

As you may have guessed, these unique accommodations are not cheap. The rooms, breakfast included, cost about $350 for two people. Kids sharing the same room pay only an additional $40 each. Given that the big wizard chamber can contain up to five people, the overall cost is perfect for families that are all Harry Potter fans. Special packages include a Muggle Walking Tour that takes Harry Potter fans through the areas of the city where parts of the movies were filmed or a visit to Warner Brothers Studio, home of the Harry Potter films’ sets and props (道具).

The hotel is certainly generating a lot of buzz among Harry Potter fans!

【题目】When will a plant be considered a weed? Experts have a simple answer: when the undesirable qualities outweigh (胜过，强过) the good qualities. Crops generally produce several hundred seeds from each plant. By comparison, each weed plant can produce tens or even hundreds of thousands of seeds. And some buried seeds can survive up to forty years or even longer. Eradicating weeds means that you have to remove all the seeds and roots so the weeds will die completely. But birds or the wind can reintroduce them to the land.

A common way to deal with weeds is to control them enough so that the land can be used for planting. Experts suggest using more methods to deal with weeds. Chemical weed killers or natural treatments like corn gluten (玉米麸) can suppress weed growth. Bill Curran is a professor of weed science. He says the most efficient method for suppressing weeds is dense planting. Dense planting of a crop can also act as a natural control. A dense and competitive crop that quickly shades the soil will help suppress many weeds. The weed seeds need light to grow, so cutting off sunlight will reduce weed growth.

Other controls include turning over the soil, pulling the weeds or covering them with mulch (地膜) made of wood, garden waste or other materials. But even mulch has its limits. Natural resource specialists point out that weeds can be transported in mulch. This is also true of soil, grain, hay and animals. Yet animals like sheep or goats eat weeds, so they can provide a biological control. Insects and other organisms can also act as biological controls.

Preventing the spread of weeds is an important part of weed management. Farm vehicles should be kept out of areas with weeds. If that is not possible, then clean off the equipment and your shoes when leaving. Some people bum weeds or bury them deep. Experts say the economical way is to make organically rich compost (有机堆肥). On the one hand, the process produces heat which can kill many weed seeds. On the other hand, the compost can be added to the soil to help plants grow.

【1】Why do people kill all the seeds and roots of weeds?

A. Because the seeds and roots are bad in quality.

B. Because weeds have strong ability to live.

C. Because weeds take up too much space.

D. Because the seeds and roots will be eaten by birds.

【2】Which of the following methods of eradicating weeds can work best?

A. Chemical weed killers.

B. Putting the com gluten in the field.

C. Dense planting.

D. Making use of mulch.

【3】How does dense planting affect weeds?

A. The crops grow stronger than weeds.

B. The crops grow deeper in the soil.

C. The crops block sunlight the weed seeds need.

D. The crops compete with weeds for shade.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The weeds will surely die under mulch.

B. The buried weed seeds can’t come out.

C. Farm vehicles should be used to kill weeds.

D. People can make good use of weeds properly.

【题目】The purpose of keeping fit is to avoid illness ,resist the mental and physical fatigue（疲劳）that make us more likely to contract infections ,and above all to feel more pleasure in being alive.

About 640 muscles for about 45% of our body's weight ,they must have the ability to store energy and be continually supplied with fuel by the blood .Sensible exercise ,suited to each individual and preferably undertaken on the advice of a doctor ,is the best insurance of meeting these requirements.

Opinions are divided about if we should buy products promoted by stars. Some students say that they prefer to buy products promoted by stars because of most of the stars care about the quality of the product they are going to advertise.Besides, buying those products is a way to support the stars they like. However, other think what some stars really care is money but not the quality of the product when they make a advertisement.In addition, the product that a star advertises is not necessary suitable for everyone. To my opinion, we should be cool and sensible while chosen a product. The main aspect we are supposed consider /s not the advertisement or the star and the quality of the product and its real usefulness in our daily life.

【题目】 It was a cold night in Washington, D.C. and I was heading back to the hotel when a beggar walked up to me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. After a short hesitation, I shook my head and kept walking. With helplessness, he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But still, I kept on walking.

The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. In fact, I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I wondered what would happen to a hungry man.

Flying back to my hometown, Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to find excuses for my failure to help. After all, government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.

But I just couldn’t forget the incident and began to think I must do something. At that time, I was writing a garden column(专栏) for the local Daily News. Suddenly, I came up with an idea. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens donated to Bean’s? Bean’s Cafe, the soup kitchen which has volunteered to feed hundreds of hungry people every day for many years.

The idea began to take off. I began to receive more e-mails and calls from kind people. They tried their best to show their concerns about the hungry. Food was sent by different warm-hearted people and even those who only grew flowers sent their flowers. They are food for the spirit, which comforted me a lot.

Next year, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual conference in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage’s program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row for the Hungry. You can imagine how happy I was then.

【1】 According to the passage, the reason why the author refused to give some money to the beggar probably is that ________.

A. he happened not to take money then

B. he wasn’t fond of beggars

C. he thought that the beggar was lying

D. he didn’t like being bothered

【2】Why did the author can’t help thinking of the beggar ?

A. Because he felt he had done wrong for his failure to help him.

B. Because he wanted to know whether the beggar had lied to him.

C. Because he was worried that the beggar might die from hunger.

D. Because some agencies, churches and charities should help the beggar.

【3】 What does the underlined phrase “take off” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. remove clothes. B. leave suddenly.

C. become successful. D. come into being.

【4】 What’s the correct order to record the author’s launch of the program “Plant a Row for the Hungry?”

① He ran into a beggar.

② He was regretful.

③ He came up with the idea of planting a row for Bean’s.

【题目】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。

【1】 To answer that question you need to ask yourself, is your drinking water supply safe?

Your water may contain many impurities(杂质) both man made and natural that can range from many different chemicals to all sorts of different bacteria. 【2】 Though these impurities aren't harmful to us, many can cause bathroom fixtures to rust and corrode and stain our laundry.

The government has set minimum standards for safe drinking water. 【3】 No one really knows the long term effects of many of the things that are allowed in our water.

There are two basic kinds of water quality standards. 【4】 Primary standards deal with the actual cleanliness of the water and whether or not it is healthy to drink and Secondary standards deal with the appearance and smell of the water. It might interest you to know that even though the EPA has set these standards, in 1997 the EPA was happy to state that 88% of the towns served by public water systems were reported to have no violations. However, it means that 12% of the water systems in the country did have water standards violations.

【5】 You wouldn't know until someone told you, if they told you. And by then you could have consumed quite a lot of substandard water. The really only safe thing to do today is take charge and do one better than the standard by either buying bottled water on a regular basis, which is expensive, or by getting a water purifier for your home.

A. What if you/span> were in that 12% ?

B. However, these are the minimum standards.

C. Most of these kinds of impurities are not harmful.

D. They are Primary and Secondary standards.

E. Is a water purifier a good choice today for you and your family?

F. Setting drinking water standards is not an easy process and there are sill many unknowns.

G. Whether you get a glass of drinking water or you take a shower, you expect that water to be safe.
