ALiving abroad requires a small adjustment and balancing of cultures.Moving from Scotland to Austria,the differences aren't so great,perhaps,as moving to Asia or Africa.But things are still different enough to be unsettling (使人不安的).One of the first differences I noticed was the opening hours of shops here.During the week,supermarkets close at 7:30 p.m.,at the latest.On Sundays,they aren't open at all.On my first weekend here,I wasn't at all prepared for this.I planned to go into town to pick up things I'd forgotten to bring.I wanted to get some groceries,too,after a few days of eating out.A friend had warned me that nothing was open on Sundays,but I didn't realize she was serious.So,I wandered around town,coming across shop after shop with doors closed.I ate out again that Sunday,and I learned my lesson.To begin with,I thought it was highly inconvenient.What if I ran out of milk in the evening,or wanted to buy biscuits before bed?In the UK,I was so used to large supermarkets,which stayed open until at least 10 p.m.,if not for twenty-four hours.But now,I have to buy food every Saturday.“What do people do here on Sunday s?” I asked my flatmate.She just looked at me.“Nothing,” she replied.If it's inconvenient,then there's also something nice about it.Who needs to be able to buy soup or soap or bread twenty four hours a day?No one really needs to of course.But it's nice,too,to have Sundays completely free from material worries.Sundays here are all about relaxing for hours in coffee shops and spending time with friends.Sunday is a day of rest.People in the UK often complain,“I thought Sundays were meant to be a day of rest!”,while rushing to work,doing chores(家庭杂务) or standing in queues inshops.Well,here in Austria,it really is a day of rest.It's different,but it's a difference I can definitely get used to.1.Where does the writer probably come from?A.Britain.B.Austria.C.Asia. D.Africa.2.How did the writer feel when he was told shops didn't open on Sundays?A.Unhappy. B.Unbelievable.C.Delighted. D.Bored.3.What do Austrians usually do on Sundays?A.Do some shopping.B.Eat out with families.C.Work hard at home.D.Do nothing but rest.BShakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”—and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer,especially in August and September.As one travels the countryside,you'll find more of its treasures:so many plants and animals,romantic castles,secret gardens,and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell.Must-sees include Derbyshire,called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park.The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre,you can visit North Lees hall,where the real Eyre family once lived).History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson).It is also known for its cathedral,the charming tea shops,a small castle.One would never guess its violent past—built by the Romans,it was once a center for arrow (箭) making.Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick,which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.Let's not leave out the Wessex region,where one can see one of England's greatest mysteries,Stone Henge.You can also go to the City of Bath,which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times.Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral,the landscaped gardens of Stourhead,and the cobbled (用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury.This is also home to Oxford,one of the world's most famous universities.Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia,whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village).This is also home of the University City of Cambridge,and the famous architectural attraction,King's College Chapel.Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.4.The text is most probably taken from .A.a travel guide B.a book reviewC.a history paper D.a newspaper report5.What was Shakespeare's attitude towards the English countryside?A.Uninterested.B.Dissatisfied.C.Surprised. D.Admiring.6.According to the text,Lincoln city .A.produced arrows in the pastB.will be enjoyed by music loversC.was the place where the Eyre family once livedD.has one of the world's most famous universities7.When travelling the countryside,Harry Potter fans are advised to visit .A.the Wessex region B.DerbyshireC.Yorkshire D.AlnwickCDenmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life.You don't need statistics to understand the Dane's happy lot.Walk around any Danish town and you'll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere.Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye,and the locals'manners and sense of humor is refreshing.Denmark's capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with well-preserved medieval streets,renowned art galleries,Michelin-starred restaurants and a healthy business center.Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails,just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.Beyond the capital and the bigger cities,Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside,medieval churches,Renaissance castles and tidy 18th-century villages.The coastline of Denmark with its sand dunes and greenery is a sight that always attracts visitors.So,no matter what time of year you're in Denmark,you shouldn't miss out on a trip to the nearest beach.It's hard,in short,to find fault with the place.The visitor's most heartfelt complaint is usually the cost of visiting Denmark.True,it is not a cheap destination,but no more so than the UK,and which nation's public transport system would you rather use?Cheer yourself up by thinking of the country's remarkable organization and clockwork railway timetable as being financed by the extremely high taxes paid by your hosts.When viewed in this way,this first-rate destination seems like good value,and you get the fairy tales thrown in for free:the Danish royal family is genuinely loved and respected by the vast majority of its citizens,not least handsome Prince Frederik,his beautiful Australian-born princess-bride,Mary,and their young family.8.The writer implies in the last two paragraphs that .A.visiting the UK will cost less than travelling in DenmarkB.the transport system in the UK can't equal that in DenmarkC.people in Denmark pay high taxes to welcome visitorsD.the Danish royal family plays an important role in politics9.How does the passage mainly develop?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By giving descriptions.D.By following time order.10.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A.To introduce Danish culture.B.To show the attractions of Denmark.C.To share experiences of travelling in Denmark.D.To describe the happy life people live in Denmark.11.Which of the following words can best describe Danes?A.Polite and humorous.B.Happy and romantic.C.Kind and friendly.D.Outgoing and humorous.DWhen I began planning to move to Auckland to study,my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India,where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs,the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.Despite these worries,I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived,I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.Determined to do this on my own,I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job.However,I received little or no response.This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.One afternoon,I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities.People there were very surprised,and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave,a clerk in the building,who had been listening to what the others had said,approached me and asked if I would wait outside.Fifteen minutes later,he returned.He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident.He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.I was a little surprised,but had a good feeling about him,so I went along.Along the way,I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历).The man stoppedat his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies.He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking,and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything.I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied.The following day,I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it.And this time,it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.12.After staying in New Zealand for a short time,the author .A.decided to go back to his own countryB.felt the local people were not very friendlyC.had to find a job to cover his living expensesD.wanted to get a job that needed practical skills13.When the author went into a building to look for a job,.A.a clerk gave him encouragement and adviceB.he was confident that he would find a good oneC.he found many college students like him already thereD.a clerk recommended him to the company he worked for14.What is the story mainly about?A.How a stranger offered the author a job.B.How a stranger turned out to be a real blessing.C.How the author adapted himself to a new situation.D.How the author was helped to get a job by a stranger.15.What wasn't the author's mother worried about?A.People might look down on the author.B.The author couldn't speak the local language.C.The author wasn't familiar with local customs.D.It might be difficult for the author to find a job.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。

AA good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible (难以置信的) icebreaker for a language learner who is eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling (上限) that I could never break through,”Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid told The Guardian, “I could never speak t o people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quitea boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way.ChineseAmerican comedian Joe Wong found this out firsthand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was onc e a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn't get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major Englishspeaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony—basically, saying something they don't mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don't see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americansthemselves,” he w rote in The Guardian.文章大意:本文为夹叙夹议文。

AThis story starts with my two kids. We were hiking in the Oakland woods when my daughter noticed some plastic litter in a creek. She looked at me and said, “Daddy? That doesn't go there.”When she said that, it reminded me of my summer camp. On the morning of that camping day, right before they'd let our anxious parents come through the gates, our camp director would say “Quick! Everyone picks up five pieces of litter. We got one hundred kids each picking up five pieces, and pretty soon, we got a much cleaner camp.” So I thought, why not apply that crowdsourced cleanup model to the entire planet? And that was the inspiration for Litterati. The goal is to create a litterfree world. Let me show you how it started. I took a picture of a cigarette using Instagram.Then I took another photo, and another. And at the end of a few days, I had 50 photos on my phone and I had picked up each piece, and I realized that I was keeping a record of the positive impact I was having on the planet. That's 50 fewer things you might see, or you might step on, or some bird might eat. So I started telling people what I was doing, and they started participating. I realized that Litterati was more than just pretty pictures; we were becoming a community that was collecting data. Each photo tells a story. It tells us who picked up what, a geotag t ells us where and a time stamp tells us when. Gradually, the community grew.Litter—it's blending into the back ground of our lives. But what if we brought it to the fore front? What if we understood exactly what was on our streets, our sidewalks and our school yards?How might we use that data to make a difference?这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。

(每小题2分,共30分)AFill In Annoying HolesIn Your Wall Using An Ordinary CrayonDecorating your walls with artwork,photos,and other interesting items that reflect your personality and style is one of the most fun things about having a home.You can do anything you want,and you can change it up at any time if you want a new book.But the downside?Sometimes,especially when it comes to mounting larger items like big framed pictures or shelves,it’s rough on your walls.And when you move things around,you’re left staring at some distracting,ugly holes from nails.Filling in nail holes can be an annoying chore,especially if you don’t have(or just don’t feel like getting out) the paint.But thanks to crayons,which have proven themselves useful in making both colorful home accents and other crayons,you can now do a quick fix of smaller holes in only a few minutes. Here’s how:Materials:Crayon.Make sure it’s a close match to your wall color.Instructions:Press the crayons into the hole,breaking off some of the wax inside.Rub until smooth.If needed,blend the wax with your finger to smooth.That’s it!It’s easy but really works!()21.What can leave some holes on the wall?A.Some art works and photos.B.Nails.C.Paint.D.Crayons.()22.What is the correct order when fixing a wall with holes?1.Blend the wax with fingers2.Press the crayon into the hole.3.Rub until smooth.4.Break off some wax inside.A.1,2,3,4B.2,3,4,1C.2,4,3,1D.1,3,4,2()23.What does the underlined word “mounting” mean?A.To climb from downside to upside.B.To paint with different colors.C.To draw some simple lines.D.To fix or to mend something.BFor the Swiss, punctuality is a source of deep contentment.They derive genuine joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner.Whenever I visit Switzerland, I go through several stages of punctuality reaction. At first it delights me, espec ially if I’m coming from neighboring Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping. By contrast, life in Switzerland is sturdy and dependable.If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm, they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55, for that matter). I like this. For a while.Then it annoys me. The extreme punctuality strikes me as a kind of stinginess, and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that “punctuality is the virtue of the bored.”That is unfair though, and finally, invariably, I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is: a deep expression of respect for other people. A punctual person is a considerate one. By showing up on time – for everything –a Swiss person is saying, in effect, “I va lue your time and, by extension, I value you.”It’s no coincidence that the Swiss are the world’s watchmakers. Which came first –the precise timekeepers or the precise people? Hard to say, but the result is the same: a nation where the trains – and everything else – really do run on time.How to explain this punctuality? No one knows for sure. But a popular theory is that, historically, it stems from the unforgiving, mountainous terrain. Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them promptly or, well, you starved.Punctuality, sadly, is a dying art in many parts of the world. Mobile phones are partly to blame. We feel less compelled to arrive on time if we can always text to say we’re running a few minutes late. I don’t sense that is happening in Switzerland, though.Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation, and if that expectation is not met, disappointment ensues.()24.What’s NOT the author’s attitude towards the Swiss punctuality?A.PleasantB.AnnoyedC.TiredD.Appreciated()25.What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time?A.They are the best watchmakers in the world.B.To show their respect for other people.C.They want to show that they have the best watches.D.To show that they are considerate persons.()26.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The terrain may be one reason for Swiss punctuality.B.Mobile phones are posing a threat to Swiss punctuality.C.Extreme punctuality commonly exists in Italian people’s daily life.D.It’s the advanced technology that makes it possible for Swiss people to arrive on time.()27.Where can we find this article?A.An economic magazine.B.A history bookC.A guidebook about native customsD.NewspaperCThe fairy-tale rise of Brazil's Chapecoense -- from small football club to national heroes -- has been cut tragically short, leaving the country mourning the loss of one of its most endearing sports teams.The plane carrying the Brazilian team to the biggest game in its history was en route Monday night from Bolivia to Colombia when it crashed in Rionegro, near Medellin, killing 71 people."The dream is over," Plinio David de Nes Filho, chairman of the club's board, told Brazil's TV Globo."Yesterday morning I was saying goodbye to them. They told me they were going in search of the dream, to make this dream a reality."Tragic end"Chapecoense was one of the most lovely fairy tales," Argentine sports journalist Martin Mazur told CNN."Unlike what happens with the big Brazilian clubs, Chapecoense's humble story and its magnificent run in the Copa Sudamericana was naturally embraced by Brazilian football fans in general, becoming a fan's favorite."It was South America's Cinderella -- nobody could have predicted this macabre ending."Cup dreamThe Copa Sudamericana, the second-biggest intercontinental club competition in South America and the equivalent to Europe's Europa League, had provided the backdrop to Chapecoense's remarkable story.A team with few big names, apart from Cleber Santana, who once played for Atletico Madrid and Mallorca in Spain, it went toe-to-toe with the big boys of Brazilian football.Not a first in footballThis week's crash is not the first time a football team has been involved in an air disaster.In 1949, 18 Torino players were killed in a crash near Turin, Italy, as the club returned from a game in Lisbon, Portugal. The accident is remembered every year by the club's fans at the scene of the crash.In 1958, eight Manchester United players lost their lives when their flight crashed on the third attempt to take off after refueling in Munich, West Germany, as the club returned from knocking Red Star Belgrade out of the European Cup.()28.Why is Chapecoense described as a fairy-tale?A.Because the disaster stimulated people’s sympathy.B.The football team had experienced other air crashes.C.Because the team had tried to become national heroes from a small club.D.There are no big names in this football team.()29.Which of the following is TRUE about the Copa Sudamericana?A.Only European team can attend this competition.B.It is the second-biggest intercontinental club competition while Europe’s Europa League is the first.C.Only South-African team can join this competition.D.It shares an equal position with Europe’s Europa.()30.Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?A.This accident ruined the dream of this fairy-tale club.B.The accident is not the first time in football’s history.C.The Copa Sudamericana would be delayed because of this disaster.D.71 people were killed by this serious crash.()31.What is the author’s attitude towards the accident?A.PessimisticB.OptimisticC.ModerateD.ContemptuousDThe business suit has for a long time been the uniform for male office workers.But it is not very satisfactory.For a start, it means that all men look the same, give or take their ties.But that is not the only problem: at the height of summer the business suit is hot and stuffy, restricting movement, and—since the suit must always be worn with a tie---it demands tightness at the neck that causes unnecessary discomfort and irritation.Women in offices are free to wear what they please, within certain limits.Some women wear business suits, too; but these are usually less formal and, most importantly, they are designed to show off the feminine shape to advantage.The same cannot be said for the male suit.Most men look unattractive in them.They are shapeless, lumpy and dull in color and do nothing for the male physique.A male office worker's only way of expressing himself in this boring business uniform is through his selection of ties.The tie becomes his outward sign of inner personality.Unfortunately, few men have any sense ofstyle and fewer still stop to ponder what their personality is really like.For this reason, many male office workers go to work in appallingly loud, garish ties, in the mistaken belief that they look good.Add to all this is the problem of cleaning a man's suit.Do men actually clean them at all? A private (and not very scientific) study of male office workers indicates that they do not.Unlike their female counterparts, who are always taking clothes to the dry-cleaners even when they have only been worn once in the past three weeks, men send their suits to the cleaners perhaps once a season.And yet most men wear the same suit several days a week, with just a change of shirt and tie for variety.Why do men not rebel and find some other way of dressing at the office? Well, they have thought this problem through very carefully.They realize how many hours they can save from their morning routine by wearing the same clothes day in, day out.Whereas the average female office worker takes time to plan what she will wear in the morning before ironing her outfit and finding coordinating fashion accessories, all a man has to do is leap out of bed, fumble around in the closet for his underwear and the first available shirt that hasn't had tomato sauce dripped down its front, select a tie at random (only the most fastidious attempt a color match between suit, shirt and tie)and step into the trousers that have been draped across the back of an armchair in the bedroom the previous night.Simple.Now, where did he leave his shoes and socks?()32.The author seems to say that________.A.few men have any sense of style and taste in clothingB.women don't feel fond of suitsC.wearing suits requires no thought and gives men extra timeD.suits cause unnecessary discomfort and irritation()33.Women's business suits are different from men's in that_______.A.they are not dull in colorB.they do not have any limit about the styleC.they are usually formal and attractiveD.they are tailored to show off the feminine shape ()34.What does the writer say about the cleaning of business suits?A.Women wash their suits every day.B.Men seldom wash their suits.C.Men take suit-cleaning seriously.D.Women often take undressed clothes to the dry-cleaners.
