The brand-new $100 million Ribrock Plaza Hotel opened nearby and had 31 almost the same telephone number as Cindy’s. From the moment the hotel opened, Cindy was 32 by calls not for her. Since she had the same phone number for years, she felt that she should 33 the hotel management to change its number. 34 , the management refused. The phone company was not 35 , either. It argued that a number was a number, and the fact that a customer was getting someone else’s36 twenty-four hours a day didn’t make it37 .After her request fell on deaf ears, Cindy decided to take 38 into her own hands. At 9 o’clock the phone rang. Someone from Memphis was calling the hotel and 39 a room for the following Tuesday. Cindy said, “No40 . How many nights?”A few hours later a secretary called and said that she wanted a suite (套房) 41 two bedrooms for a week.Cindy replied that the Presidential Suite was 42 for $600 a night. The secretary said that shewould 43 it.The next day was a 44 one for Cindy. In the morning, she booked a car producer’s conf erence for Memorial Day weekend. Her biggest 45 came in the afternoon—a mother called to book the ballroom for her daughter’s wedding in June. Cindy hesitated for a while, but still46 the woman that it would be no problem.Within a few months, the Ribrock Plaza Hotel was a disaster area. People kept 47 for weddings, reunions (聚会) and parties, and were all 48 that there were no such events.Soon after, she read in a 49 that the hotel might go bankrupt (破产). Her phone rang, and a manager from Marriott said, “We’re prepared to50 you $2 million for the hotel.” Cindy replied, “We’ll take it, but only if you change the telephone number.”31.

Scientist s say birds such as the cuckoo (布谷鸟), whose song announces the arrival of warm weather in Britain, are dropping in numbers.A typical migrant bird (候鸟) from Africa, cuckoo may no longer make its annual appearance in the woodlands in Britain, says a scientist. Numbers of migrant birds from Africa have declined seriously in the UK since 1995. For cuckoos the figure is 44%. The call of the cuckoo could be silenced in the near future. The real problem is that there are so many different possible causes for the loss—which makes it difficult to find out the real reasons for their decline and to prepare plans to put things right.The loss could be the result of changes in farmland use in Britain which are affecting the way cuckoos breed (繁殖) when they arrive here in spring. On top of changes of land use, scientists suspect that many cuckoos are finding it increasingly difficult to feed themselves when they come to breed in Britain. Thelarge insects they eat have dropped rapidly in number here.Climate change might be another important reason. Migrant cuckoos arrive and breed at times which are no longer the best periods when food, such as insects, is available. Climate changes also affect timings of breeding cycles.Or the loss could be due to the increase of human populations in Africa and the destruction of natural living environment where they make their homes in winter.Apart from these, the killing takes place in spring and autumn when cuckoos, flying from and to Africa, cross islands in the Mediterranean Sea. They are shot in their hundreds of thousands by hunters who just enjoy killing them for the “sport”. It is against the European Union law, but that doesn’t stop it happening. Sheehan, a scientist, said, cuckoos “arrive in our countryside just as the first good weather arrives. We associate them with spring and warmth. That is why they appear so often in old English stories. They are part of our culture––which makes the decline in their number so worrying.”51. What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. Cuckoos may arrive in warm weather.B. Cuckoos may rarely be seen in Britain.C. Cuckoos may appear every two years.D. Cuckoos may come back to the woodlands.52. Concerning the rapid decrease in the number of cuckoos, scientists _______.A. find it difficult to discover the real reasonsB. know few possible causes for the lossC. have plans to put things rightD. doubt if the data are accurate53. According to the passage, what happens in Britain that possibly causes the decline of cuckoos?A. Many hunters kill cuckoos for fun.B. Cuckoos’ main food is getting less.C. Policies on land use have changed.D. Human population increases rapidly.54. Which could be the best title for the passage?A. Cuckoos, Who Take Away Your Food?B. Climate Change: A Danger to CuckoosC. Spring May Lose Song of CuckoosD. A Song for England’s CuckoosBJust over a year ago, life as an orphan (孤儿) girl in Tilinanu, southern Malawi, was uncertain. Relying on the kindness of the poor villagers for a roof over their head, many had to sleep in a room that held as many as fifteen people, eating a diet mainly of porridge. Their classroom for daily lessons was an open space in the bush.Now 34 of them have comfortable beds in a smart new home, with a community hall and medical centre next to it. Another 175 village children eat there daily, with the adults coming in to learn English; it’s an amazing transformation. Even more amazing is that the person behind it is just 21.When Alice Pulford was waiting to get into university, she took a five-month teaching position in Malawi. She loved the place, and returned in the spring of 2009 to visit her friend Zulu in Tilinanu. His aunt Mercy owned land there and was doing her best to provide an education for the orphans, many of whom had lost parents to AIDS or malaria (疟疾).But after helping Mercy out for some time, Alice realised that what the girls in particular really needed was a safe and permanent place to live. There was a derelict (年久失修的) church on Mercy’s land. “If you give me the church, I’ll set up a home for these children,” Alice told her. Mercy agreed.Alice phoned home and told her family about her plan. The family had already helped Alice raise ￡1,800 to assist the o rphans. After they received Alice’s call, they threw themselves into raising another ￡6,000, organising theatre trips and special parties and dinners.Alice found Malawian builders, selected materials and even helped with the brick-laying. In ten weeks, the church became a dormitory with toilets and a living area. In spring last year, Alice raised another ￡19,000 to build the medical centre and two new dormitories.The girls are happier—and so is Alice, who has been spending around four months in Malawi a year.“The orphans think they’re gaining from me, but when I see their smile, it transforms me,” she says.55. Over a year ago, the orphans didn’t have _______.A. a classroomB. a teacherC. shelterD. food56. What is known about the home Alice has built for the orphans?A. It looks like a community hall.B. It depends on the villagers’ help.C. It provides a place for recreation.D. It benefits both the children and adults.57. The Pulfords’ family are _______.A. short of moneyB. fond of entertainmentsC. supportive of each otherD. unaware of Alice’s plan58. What has Alice learned from her experience?A. Money-raising is a family business.B. Winning orphans’ smile calls for skills.C. AIDS has made many children parentless.D. Helping others brings changes in a person.CMargaret Cook is a professional, married woman with two young children. The elder, who is four, has just started at a local primary school. It is a school that she was eager for her daughter to attend because it has a mix of racial and social cultures. As a white from a middle-class family, she thought it important for her daughter to go to a local school that was representative of the cultural and social mix of the society in which we live. Having met, however, some of the other parents and children, she’s becoming increasingly unsure about her choice. She is worried that along with the accent and vocabulary of her classmates, her daughter will also pick up what appears to be a very narrow-minded, uneducated attitude. She wants her daughter to be able to adapt and to fit in with her friends at school, but not necessarily to model her behaviour on theirs. She wants her to like them but not be like them.Is she worrying unnecessarily? Or should she abandon her principles and send her children to private school? A report, published by the Independent Schools Council, shows record numbers of parents want to send their children to private schools that stress “moral standards” and classroom discipline as they lose faith in state education, even many Labour voters would consider going private for the first time if they could afford the fees.But is it right without question to see private schools as heavens where moral standards are high, teachers are models of correctness and learning, children all come from open-minded families, and where our little ones will be protected from the ills of the world? The only difference is that those who can afford school fees are in the habit of making expensive mistakes. One of my colleagues who sends all his children to private schools tells stories of drug abuse, troublemakers, the decline of discipline and ever younger age of rebellion (叛逆).It’s an excellent plan to send our children to a mixed school. Placed in an entirely new environment, they are at the risk of rejection, bullying (欺负) and maybe long-term alienation (疏离). But as soon as our children step out of the front door they are faced with a challenging world where boundary between the good and bad is so complex that young people have difficulty telling them apart. For this reason I believe that Cook is better advised to bring her children up in the real world.59. From this passage we know that the woman’s daughter _______.A. is changing others’ behaviorB. is mixing with trouble-makersC. is attending a mixed schoolD. is applying for a private school60. The mother wants her daughter to be _______.A. popular and attractiveB. a fighter against social illsC. a model for her classmatesD. open-minded and well-educated61. What does the writer think of the private school?A. It’s a heaven o f pleasure.B. It is going from bad to worse.C. It is experiencing moral decline.D. It’s a place of high moral standard.62. The writer suggests sending kids to a mixed school because he thinks _______.A. it is well managedB. it is close to the real worldC. kids there are well protectedD. the competition there isn’t fierceDSolar electric systems pay off most quickly for consumers who use a lot of energy because extra charges are given for heavy use, but the solar system still makes sense for low-energy users such as myself.So much of Americans’ carbon footprint results from buildings—about 43%, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. I’m i n a household of 1.5 (mom and 7-year-old), and we use only about 4 kilowatt hours of electricity per day, something we’ve managed through behavioral changes, such as turning off the lights in rooms after we’ve exited, and through in-home efficiencies (效率), such as s out all my light bulbs for energy-saving ones and using power boards that can turn off DVD players, coffee makers and other electrical equipment.Using less electricity means I can get by with a smaller, less expensive solar system that not only covers my use but also produces a credit on my power bill. Going solar also meant my house was upgraded with a time-of-use meter. This type of meter allows me to receive credit for the electricity I produce during peak hours when electricity costs the most, but pay the least for the electricity during off-peak hours, when I recharge my cell phone and laptop and perform other tasks requiring power.The downsides are that I am tied in to the grid (电网) and still affected by power failure, and I now have solar panels (太阳能电池板) that need to be cleaned. It’s a subject of debate, but REC Solar said dirty panels decrease energy production by 6% to 8%. Many panel producers recommend cleaning panels at least once during the summer. I wash mine whenever they look dirty or dotted with bird droppings, which is about every other week.I think $6,000 is a small price to pay, not only for panels that should produce my next 20 years of electricity, but also for the greenhouse gases I’m not creating.63. What is mainly talked about in this article?A. The ways of cutting power bills.B. The tips on reducing electricity use.C. The benefits of using solar systems.D. The importance of protecting the environment.64. Why does the writer recharge her mobile phones during off-peak hours?A. To save credit.B. To save time.C. To save energy.D. To save money.65. The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 is close in meaning to ______.A. discountB. disadvantageC. disapprovalD. disagreement66. The author cleaned her power panels ______.A. to make them work properlyB. to protect the environmentC. to make them look betterD. to avoid power failureEDoes knowledge of a writer’s private life help to explain his works? It’s an age-old question, but it’s also one in which interest is aroused (激起) again by Antonia Fraser’s book about her life with Harold Pinter, Must You Go?. The book is obviously a personal account rather than a study of the plays. All the same, I’d argue it throws a good deal of light on Pinter the dramatist (剧作家).I start from the belief that all information about a writer is helpful. In fact, one of the pleasures of writing Pinter’s biography was discovering that nearly all his plays were started by some strong personal memory.This got me into trouble with some scholars. I remember Martin Esslin, a great Pinter scholar, arguing that I had reduced the value of Pinter’s Betrayal by linking it to the dramatist’s seven-year-long love affair with Joan Bakewell. But, as I saw it, that was simply the play’s origin. All I had done, I hoped, was to remind people that Pinter was a writer who would make use of his own life experience.That point can also be seen from Antonia’s book. There’s an interesting account of a dinner with Tom Stoppard where Pinter says that he doesn’t plan his characters’ lives and then asks his fellow dramatis t: “Don’t you find they take you over sometimes?”, to which Stoppard firmly replies: “No.” That says a lot. One reason why The Homecoming is a great play is that Pinter allows his characters, almost unconsciously, to take over. Despite Stoppard’s many stre ngths, he tends to keep his characters under a much tighter control.Again, there’s an eye-opening passage in Antonia’s book where she recalls a moment in 1983 when Pinter refers back to his relationship with his former wife, Vivien: “While she was alive, if you think about it, so much of my work was about unhappy frozen married relationships.”In short—as Stoppard once wrote—information, in itself, about anything, is light. And modern biography, particularly in the hands of masters, has been helpful to li terature by opening writers’ lives to public eyes. For that reason, among many others, I welcome Antonia Fraser’s book.67. What is TRUE about Antonia Fraser’s book?A. It is well received by the public.B. It carries Antonia’s views about biography.C. It is helpful to the study of Pinter’s works.D. It includes serious studies of Pinter’s works.68. What do the author of this article and Martin Esslin disagree on?A. The literary value o f Pinter’s Betrayal.B. The literary value of the accounts of Pinter’s life.C. The truthfulness of the contents of Antonia’s book.D. The truthfulness of Pinter’s love affair with Joan Bakewell.69. What can we infer about Pinter and Stoppard?A. They treat their characters in different ways.B. Stoppard has more strengths than Pinter.C. They often have dinners together.D. They often argue with each other.70. This article is probably ______.A. a feature storyB. a book reviewC. a news reportD. a biography第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分50分)第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）例：______ was that the young player performed extremely well in the table tennis tournament. (delight)令球迷欣喜的是那位年轻的球员在乒乓球锦标赛中表现得极为出色。

湖北卷21. 答案：A解析：句意：两位律师捐出5万美元来赞助我们学校的“救助贫困生”活动，这项活动是由我们的前任校长在三年前发起的。

本题考查动词的辨析：sponsor“赞助”，launch“发射；发起”，organize“组织”，plan“计划”。

sponsor最适合句意；launch有迷惑性，但此处选launch 的话与“我们的前任校长在三年前发起”相矛盾。

22. 答案：C解析：句意：最后，我要感激我的老师，是他为我的论文提出了大量建议和意见，并为之润色。

本题考查动词的辨析：approve“同意；赞成”，quote“引用”，polish“磨光；润色”，fold“折叠”。

为每一页手稿“润色”最合句意。

23. 答案：B解析：句意：一个人走在黑暗中，这个小男孩吹起了口哨好壮胆。

本题考查含有up的短语动词的辨析：hold up“举起；阻挡”，keep up“保持”，set up“建起”，take up“拿起；开始”。

此处易误以为take up courage“鼓起勇气”，但根据句意，此处应为“给自己壮胆；不害怕”，而keep up courage“保持勇气”就可以表示这层含义。

24. 答案：A解析：句意：我非常高兴您能到这里来亲自处理这个问题。

本题考查短语动词的辨析：lead to“通向；导致”，see to“处理；照顾”，turn to“转向；求助于”，refer to“提及；涉及；参考”。

根据句意，此处应为turn to this matter in person“亲自处理此事”。

25. 答案：B解析：句意：这件家具款式时尚、色彩亮丽，非常适合现代的花园楼房；不过，如果放在传统的家庭环境中就不协调了。

本题考查含有out of的短语的辨析：out of question“没问题”，out of order“出故障；混乱；不整齐”，out of sight“在视野外；看不见”，out of place“不在恰当的地方；不合适；不恰当”。

Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their won shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.42. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. T o know when to bring them inside.B. T o keep them from eating bad food.C. T o help them find shelters.D. T o keep them company.43. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild44. What is the purpose of this text?A. T o solve a problem.B. T o give practical advice.C. T o tell an interesting story.D. T o present a research result.(B)Y ou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. Y ou do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yo urself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” Y ou must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough t o catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. Y o u may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. Y ou must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.46. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.47. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. T ack the boat.48. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Y et it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, manypeople in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Y et many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions(D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia –One of the world’s most famou s fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said T uesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science inHouston, T exas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September .“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bar tsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New Y ork, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of herdiscovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 312-foot-tall ape-man (猿人). 53.

(E)Make Up Y our Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter .” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, S tanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A. doesn’t want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers59. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. T alent comes with one’s birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60. What should parents do for their children based on Dwec k’s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Since you’ve been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?If you’ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight’s holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families—all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I’d think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country bec ause they’re more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they’re very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they’ve got.51. After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______.A. notice small changesB. expect small changesC. welcome small changesD. exaggerate small changes52. How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?A. Cautiously.B. Positively.C. Sceptically.D. Critically.53. When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _______.A. the relaxed policemenB. the messy arrivals hallC. the tight securityD. the bank robbers54. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Life in Britain.B. Back in Britain.C. Britain in Future.D. Britain in Memory.20试卷试题①文言文是传统文化的精粹②文言文与白话文有着紧密的联系BWhen my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days. （1）配制(NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O溶液时化学教案需加入少量稀硫酸化学教案目的是▲It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switch ing to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where M om’s f riend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.到头劳顿不已化学教案低声下气向别人索取衣食化学教案或山行水宿化学教案颠踣流离化学教案、The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around.

First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them?

A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers.

Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students. It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892.苞以十月下旬至家化学教案留八日化学教案便饥驱宣、歙间试卷试题入泾河化学教案路见左右高Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874.

When did St Andrews University begin to take full-time women students?A. In 1873.B. In 1874.C. In 1877.D. In 1892.DHow is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don’t enjoy t hat much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.63. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means “_______”.A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families64. In terms of language development, later-borns ________.A. get their parents’ individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly65. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.66. The word “feminine” (in Para. 4) means “_______”.A. having qualities of parentsB. having qualities of womenC. having defensive qualitiesD. having extraordinary qualitiesEBrrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may o ffer.教案或山行水宿化学教案颠顿怵迫化学教案或胥易技系束缚于尘事化学教案不能一日宽闲The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes ea rly and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.67. According to the author, we are more creative when we are _______.A. focusedB. relaxedC. awakeD. busy68. What does the author imply about newspapers?A. They are solution providers.B. They are a source of inspiration.C. They are normally full of bad news.D. They are more educational than websites.69. By “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2), the author means “_______”.A. wander into the wildB. listen to a beautiful tuneC. switch to the traffic channelD. stop concentrating on anything70. The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______.A. offer practical suggestionsB. summarize past experiencesC. advocate diverse ways of lifeD. establish a routine for the future第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分50分)第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
