1、Passage Two
Quesaonsare based on thefollowingpassage
Energy independence．It has a nice ring to it，doesn’t it?If you think so，you’re not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession．
“Energy independence”and its rhetorical(修辭的)companion“energy security”are，however’slippery concepts that are rarely thought through．What is it we want independence from，exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are,reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy nmning．Yes，there is a trickle(涓涓細流)of biofuel(生物燃料)availaB．e，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．
Second．Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil．They value the environmental  quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third，there are benefits to trade．It sllows for economic efficiency,and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit．And although you don’t read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2 million barrels ofpetroleum products per day to about 90 countries．
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy．and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy．When that flow is interrupted，we feelthe pain in short supplies and higher prices．At the same time，we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most afrordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．

You shoud write your answer on Answer Sheet 2．
中國教育工作者早就認識到讀書對于國家的重要意義。有些教育工作者2003年就建議設立全民讀書日。他們強調，人們應當讀好書，尤其是經典著作，通過閱讀，人們能更好地學會感恩、有責任心和與人合作，而教育的目的正是要培養這些基本素質。閱讀對于中小學生尤為重要，假如他們沒有在這個關鍵時期培養閱讀的興趣，以后要養成閱讀的習慣就很難了。
題目二：

為了促進教育公平，中國已經投入360億元，用于改善農村地區教育設施和加強中西部地區農村義務教育。這些資金用于改善教學設施、購買書籍，使16萬多所中小學受益。資金還用于購置音樂和繪畫器材。現在農村和山區的兒童可以與沿海城市的兒童一樣上音樂和繪畫課。一些為接受更好教育而轉往城市上學的學生如今又回到了本地農村學校就讀。
題目三：
Directions：For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English．You shouM write your answer on Answer Sheet 2．
中國應進一步發展核能，因為核電目前只占其總發電量的2％，該比例在所有核國家中居第30位，幾乎是的。2011年3月日本核電站事故后，中國的核能開發停了下來，終止審批新的核電站，并開展全國性的核安全檢查。到2012年lo月，審批才又謹慎地恢復。隨著技術和安全措施的改進，發生核事故的可能性完全可以降低到程度。換句話說，核能是可以安全開發和利用的。
