An 18-year-old student has won a local election to become mayor of his hometown in the US state of Michigan. Michael Sessions won by the slenderest of margins - just two votes put him ahead of his only rival, the incumbent 51-year-old mayor. Mr. Sessions attributed his electoral success to the votes cast by his parents. He will now have to juggle schedules between attending school and fulfilling his civic duties. He will attend his school classes between 8am to 3pm and carry out his new job as the elected mayor of Hillsdale before dinner at 6pm. He aims to deliver on his campaign pledges of increasing the contingent (小分队) of full-time fire-fighters from three to four, revitalizing (使恢复元气) the local economy and enabling townsfolk to air their views and grievances on town life.

Mr. Sessions was too young to enter the election when it was first announced – he turned 18 only in September, which meant he had just four weeks of campaigning. Although he is the youngest elected official in America, he cannot celebrate his success with champagne because he would be arrested for underage drinking. He ran for office with a budget of $700, which he made from his summer job of selling toffee apples. His position is largely ceremonial and he will not get his own office. Instead, he will receive an annual stipend of $3,600 to cover basic expenses. He starts his four-year position on November 21. Mr. Sessions has become an overnight celebrity since his victory and has already done the circuit of television chat show interviews.

1. When did the election probably take place?

A. August.        B. September.         C. October.       D. December.

2. How long will Mr. Sessions be the mayor of Michigan State?

A. One year.            B. Two years.          C. Four years.     D. Not mentioned.

3. Which of the following statements is correct?

A. Mr. Sessions won the election by two votes.

B. Mr. Sessions had many competitors during the election.

C. The new mayor will get an office after the election.

D. The new mayor doesn’t have to attend the school any more.

第三部分： 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节　阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

       阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

(A)

In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”

H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.

But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?

1. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the“moon people” ___________.     

A. knew so much about the earth         B. understood their language

C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology

2. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 2) refer to?

A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.                  B. Using the earth’s inner space.

C. Meeting the“moon people”again.                   D. Traveling to outer space.

3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.  

B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.      

D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

4. The word “wilderness” in the last paragraph means___________.

    A. wildlife                                                B. poor districts     

C. desert                                            D. an area that is not allowed to build on

5. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Alice Cities — cities of the future  

B. Space travel with H. G. Wells

C. Enjoy living underground                    

D. Building down, not up

Evidence has been piled up ____ specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as five month old.
