AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artis ts on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an e xhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there i s a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the researc h and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge Univer sity.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant pro duces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant m ore commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on inse cts and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and dr unkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about t he pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of tim e walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fi elds. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experie nce and on the way home you can drop into the village for aft ernoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it fro m Virginia Woolf ,a famous writer,—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim i n the same pool.1.The main idea of the passage is __________.A. interesting stories of Lord. ByronB. an approach to becoming creative in artC. the colorful life in the countrysideD. some places for weekend break2.If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you’d better go to__________ .A. Byron’s PoolB. the Botanic GardenC. King’s Art CentreD. Cambridgeshire3.According to the passage, the following statements are wro ng except __________.A. There is a small charge for attending the masters’ classB. Byron liked swimming naked in the lakeC. Byron seemed to like keeping pet bearsD. Hissing Sid and Flytrap are impressive animals4.The autho r’s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show__________ .A. she was a famous writerB. she was fond of swimmingC. she was Byron’s admirerD. Byron’s Pool is a pleasant placeBWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided t o visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advi ce about how to find accommodation . I suggested that they s hould stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of place gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they cam e back with some funny stories“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “b ecause we found most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had h appened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VA CANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘h olidays’ is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where thesign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means the re are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the s ign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. B ut they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends mad e in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ m eans fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVER SION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fu n. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, wh en someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”5. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car6. ‘NO VACANCIES’ in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holid ayD. holidays7. When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______.A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them t o take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to expr ess my politeness8. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away becau se I ______.A. hadn’t finished drinking my coffeeB. was expecting another cup of coffeeC. meant that I didn’t want any moreD. was never mis understoodCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choic e for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(打盹)—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains moremelatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, ac cording to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Fo od.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice t o sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has n ot been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellen t for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which help s people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the bes t choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat yo u take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk______ _.A. were more anxiousB. woke up laterC. were less activeD. started sleep more easily10. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It’s used in sleeping drugs.C. It can make people more energetic.D. It exists in milk in great amount.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Milk Drinking and HealthB. An Experiment on MiceC. Fat, Sugar and HealthD. Night Milk and SleepDParents have to do much less for their children today than the y used to do,and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food c an be bought, cooked,canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the rest aurant,the worker’s canteen,and the school dining-room. It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other emplo yment at home,and his children rarely,if ever,see him at his place of work. Nowadays boys are seldom train ed to follow their father’s occupation,and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employm en t and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money,and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile(纺织物) areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out t o work,but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life,the number of married women in employment having more th an doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant(占主导的) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. W hen mother works, economic advantages increasing,but children lose something of great value if mother’s employ ment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.12. The writer mentions home as workshop in the past becau se______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity by themselv esC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are worker s13. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow th eir father’s occupation is that ____.A. children rarely see their fathers at their place of workB. fathers do not like to pursue employment at homeC. there is a wide choice of employment for childrenD. children also like to have jobs and earn money outsid e14. What makes father no longer the only dominant person ina family?A. Mother’s and children’s earning enable them not just to depend on father for life.B. There are many choices of employment for mothersand children nowadays.C. Father does much less for his children and earn muc h less today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has in creased greatly now.15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the change at home ?A. Unacceptable.B. Worried.C. Unconcerned.D. In terested.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。

AThe plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. However, thanks to a terrible trick played by nature, what the officials have ended up with, is a natural sandy mess!The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax. But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand, the underground water dried up. As a result, the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert. While officialreports show that the sand is piled up to 10 meters high, some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.If that is not bad enough, the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields, have influenced the environment. What’s worse is that on windy days, the dry sand moves into the city center, making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes, nose, and mouth.In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields, the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting. However, that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!As you can imagine, many of Zhengzhou’s residents are upset by the disaster. They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised, has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment. Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.21. The author may agree that it is to build a large man-made lake.A. possibleB. impossibleC. greatD. interesting22. The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because .A. the weather in Zhengzhou is too dryB. there are enough trees in ZhengzhouC. they haven’t finished digging the lakeD. there is no underground water23. What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?A. Light pollution.B. Water pollution.C. Air pollution.D. Sound pollution.24. What do Zhengzhou’s residen ts think of the man-made lake?A. Scary.B. Small.C. Helpful.D. Great.BHere comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos. The monkeys, however, were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed. A young boy watched the man's pathetic efforts and laughed.The man said, “If you can catch me a monkey, I'll give you $ 2.” That was a huge amount of money then.The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck. He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside. He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man, “We should have a rest in a few hours. Let's wait in the village. The monkey will call us when he is ready.”Certainly enough, a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot. One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts, but he couldn't pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist(拳头) was clenched. The monkey feared and started making loud noises. Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag. As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot. The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot. The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap, “Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out?”The boy laughed and said, “The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped, but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go. They never are.”What lessons can be learned from this story? Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go? Do you?25. What does the underlined word “clenched” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A. quickly pushedB. lightly pulledC. tightly fastenedD. closely held26. Why couldn’t the monkey pull his hand out of the pot? The reason lies in that .A. the pot’s neck was too narrowB. the monkey wouldn’t let go of the nutsC. the monkey’s fist was too bigD. the nuts in the pot were too delicious27. Which of the statement is NOT true according to the story?A. The boy just played a trick on the man.B. The monkeys were too clever to be trapped.C. The boy was helpful.D. The boy could ask for $2 from the man.28. What might be the best title of this passage?A. the monkey and the boyB. the boy and the potC. the monkey and the potD. the man and the potCFacebook is an Internet-based social network site that lets people get in touch with family and friends and reach out to people with common interests around the world, all through computer. It is very popular, with more than 900 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would have about three times the population of the United States.Documents filed with US. financial regulators say Facebook has hundreds of millions of active users who send billions of messages each day and upload 250 million photographs on their personal pages.

Built at almost 10,000 feet on the top of an Andean mountain, the Incas b uilt hundreds of structures made of stone. A large number of Machu Picchu’s surrounding structures date back to the early 13th century, but it was considered a chief sacred site far before then. The Inca people changed the large site into a very small but wonderful city, completely self-sufficient and hidden from below. Agricultural terraces (梯田) surrounded the entire city, fed by natural spring water, supporting the entire population.Inca TrailThe trail is one of the most famous in the world and regarded as one of the best. It covers only 26 miles, combining cloud forest, green mountain scenery, forest, and plenty of tunnels, paving stones, and ruins. The four-day hike begins slowly but quickly changes into a difficult journey suitable for those in excellent shape. The trail winds through the Andes, leading alongside and through ruins. Though independent hiking was once permitted, now it must be done with a guide. Funerary RockIt is believed that the Funerary Rock at Machu Picchu was used as a place to prepare Inca nobles for preservation, or mummifying (做成木乃伊), a common habit among the tribe. Nobles would be laid out to be mummified by the hot sun and freezing cold nights after their organs were removed. The rock is also famous as a spot from which a view of the city is afforded.Temple of the SunWithin the city’s castle, deep within Machu Picchu, is the Temple of the Sun, accessed only by the Emperor and Inca priests. It means the Inca’s advanced knowledge of religion, weather, and nature, showing the great extent Incas went to adapt to and learn about nature. Still unbroken, the temple was built to honor the god Inti, who is exactly the sun. The temple was effectively protected. It was also a very important scientific center, built in half-moon shape with openings facingnorth and east. The windows’ shadows in the center of the temple helped see the start of winter solstice (至日), showing farming season.33. What do we know about the Inca Trail?A.
