English are based on animals.When children jump around and act silly,for example,their parents may tell them to stop monkeying around.To monkey around means to do things that are not useful or serious,or to__46__waste time.But to spend time playing with their family pets wouldn’t count as monkeying around.Many American families have a pet dog,which makes the children feel happy.But for some reason,which language experts do not know,Americans use“dog”in a phrase that means to feel unwell.If you are as sick as a dog,you are really,really sick and will most likely have to stay home and rest,or__47__go and see a doctor.Apart from dogs,cats are also beloved family members in U.S.households.Sometimes you may hear them__48__in Americans’conversations.“I told you to keep that a secret,but you have just let the cat out of the bag!”You probably have guessed it–that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.Dogs and cats don’t always get along,but they appear side by side in a__49__used idiom.When it rains heavily,people might say it’s raining cats and dogs outside!Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself.Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t__50__someone else to love you until you love yourself.Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky.Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes,and that our grandmas think we’re great talents and our uncles think that we will go to the Olympics,but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge,it is time you__51__a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is,make a list if you need to,but write down all of the great things you do every day.Don’t allow doubts to__52__in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself.Well,roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math,find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile,get to the track and__53__.If you think you’re dull becauseyou don’t wear the latest trends,buy a few new clothes.But remember,just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.plete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms.54.The referee’s________description of the rules resulted in a lot of arguments among the players. (accuracy)55.Our suitcases are both heavy,but it seems that mine is a lot________.(weigh)56.Before I went abroad,my friend said to me,“When in Rome,do as________do.”(Rome)57.All the relatives and friends looked________at the young man who suffered from the deadly disease. (worry)58.The________being so tricky made it very tough for the police to trace them.(theft)59.The precise details of the origins of life remain________.(hide)60.________duties are taxes that people pay for importing and exporting goods.(custom)61.Succeeding in winning the competition gave me a sense of________.(achieve)V.Rewrite the following sentences as required.62.The headmaster noticed the teaching staff play with mobile phones at the meeting.（改为被动语态）The teaching staff________noticed________play with mobile phones at the meeting.63.The man of few words over there used to be our boss.（反义疑问句）The man of few words over there used to be our boss,________________?64.Will they go to the orphanage or the old people’s home?They haven’t decided.（两句并一句）They haven’t decided________they________go to the orphanage or the old people’s home.e back early this evening,or you won’t be able to watch your favourite live show on TV.（保持原句意思）________you________early this evening,you won’t be able to watch your favourite live show on TV.66.Mrs.Church said to me,“I’m surprised that you progressed so rapidly.”（保持原句意思）Mrs.Church didn’t________me________progress so rapidly.67.It’s much fun to go cycling with some of my best friends at weekends.（改为感叹句）________________it is to go cycling with some of my best friends at weekends!68.well,the manager,as,provide,and,to,delicious food,excellent service,promised（连词成句）________________________________________________________________________plete the sentences according to the Chinese.69.He has a shop________（属于自己的）,and he_____________________（每天在街角友好地和我打招呼）.70.The________（精力充沛的表演者）is________________________（忙着练习骑独轮车）.71.After________（他的钱包被抢）,he________________________（匆忙去警察局详细地报告这起抢劫案）.72.Whenever I________________（入睡有困难）,I________________（看无聊的参考书）.73.I can________________（背出所有的不规则动词）and I________________（期待老师满意这个结果）.Part3Reading and WritingVII.Reading comprehension.A.Choose the best answerAn urban legend is my modern story,usually fictional,but which is told as if it really happened. These legends are passed from person to person and reach a wide audience.A lot of them are inspired by a real event but the story changes as it is passed on.Although most legends are false,some turn out to be true.Here are some examples.Do you think they are true or false?UnluckyA student had not done his homework.The day before the essay was due in,he went to the university library and found an old essay written on the same subject.He simply copied it,typed it up and handed it in.A few weeks later,the teacher was handing the essays back to the class.She stopped by the student’s desk and said,“Twenty-five years ago,when I wrote this essay,it got a B,__________”She set the essay on the student’s desk,and there on the cover was a big A!The teacher continued,“If you try anything like this again,I’ll have you thrown out of school.”Caught on filmA young couple were married.The bride’s father gave them a lavish wedding and took a large wad of cash to pay people like the band,bartender,waiters,etc.At one point,the father took off his jacket to dance.When he later retrieved it,he discovered that the money was missing.A couple of weeks later,the entire family gathered to watch the video of the wedding.At one point,the groom’s father,unbeknown to him,could be seen in the background taking the money from the bride’s father’s coat!Of course this created a scandal(丑闻)and the marriage was immediately declared invalid.Confusing packagingThe packaging of consumer products,a convenience so familiar to Americans,can be confusing to a foreign visitor.I was lunching in the college cafeteria one afternoon with a young student from overseas. Noticing that he had torn open his tea bag and emptied his contents into his cup,I explained that the bag itself was meant to be dipped,unopened,into the water.A bit surprised,he thanked me graciously for correcting him–and then confidently dropped an unopened envelope of sugar into his tea.74.According to the passage,urban legends are stories that________.1.are always based on a true story2.are told as if they are true3.are always false4.are modern5.are known by lots of peopleA.1,2,4,5B.2,4,5C.1,3,4D.3,575.The student in Unlucky was unlucky because_______.A.he wrote the wrong essayB.the teacher gave him the wrong gradeC.he couldn’t find his copy of essayD.he copied the wrong person’s essay76.Which of the following is the most suitable to be put into the blank in the second paragraph?A.I wrote it by myself instead of copyingB.It needed a lot of improvement.C.You did much better than I.D.I always thought it deserved an A.77.After watching the video in Caught on film,the bride’s family probably felt_______.A.amusedB.emotionalC.embarrassedD.angry78.Which of the pictures below shows what the student’s cup looked like in Confusing packaging?79.One adjective which could be used to describe all of these urban legends would be________?A.amusingB.impossibleC.excitingD.shockingB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.Should museums be free?That’s the question many people are asking following news of a class action lawsuit(集体诉讼)against one of the world’s most prestigious,expensive and visited museums.New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices.The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the$25fee is__80__rather than merely recommended.The Met attracts six million visitors per year,all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s$25adult admission fee.Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended”.Over40percent visitors pay the full ticket prices__81__noticing it.The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S.,ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的)ticket fee.This is__82__some countries,like the U.K.,where all national museums are free.A survey of30top U.S.museums by The Art Newspaper has found that the root of the debate can be divided into two camps.One camp focuses on museums,revenue(收益),while the other believes museums should be free community__83__.According to the survey,museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees,such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art.Museums in larger cities,such as New York’s Met,tend to charge high entry fees.Museums in major cities,especially those that attract tourists,charge a lot for entry.Their counterparts in areas with__84__international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.If more museums were to adopt free admission policies,support mechanisms would need to be __85__.Among them would be strong government grant programs for the art,more private donations and a revived culture of philanthropy to support culture institutions.What do you think?Should museums be free for all?80. A.prohibited B.forced C.voluntary D.required81. A.after B.before C.without D.while82. A.different from B.keeping pace with C.in contrast to D.similar to83. A.treasures B.resources C.sources D.services84. A.increasing B.decreasing C.more D.fewer85. A.in time B.in need C.in place D.in orderC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the personal terror–of a volcano,an arrow,a stab(刺伤)in the back and other disasters,all directed against one’s self–d__86__.The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s__87__,a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death.The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind,in whichone has a feeling that something unspecified(不具体的)and indeterminable may go wrong.If the world seems to be going well,this produces anxiety–for good times may end.If the world is going badly–it may get w__88__.Anxiety tends to be without f__89__;the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people.He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work.W__90__we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health,we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom which may indicate cancer,into checking up on that old life insurance policy which may have out-of-date terms in it,into having a conference with our child’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up,have the brakes checked,don’t take a drink when they have to drive.People who are too anxious either r__91__to go into cars–and so complicate the ordinary course of life–or drive so tensely and carefully that they help avoid accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c__92__,which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.D.Answer the questions.Years ago,a walk around Beijing’s hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding“-er”to the end of syllables.However,this feature can hardly be heard among today’s Beijing dwellers(居民).A recent report by the Ministry of Education(教育部)shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years,an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China.However,people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other,making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be,efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry.For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns,dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from.From dialects,we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history,the State Language Commission(国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since2008to cover different local dialects,while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums.The Beijing municipal education authorities(北京市教育部门)also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And it’s not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country’s dialects–an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort,too.Wang Han,a well-known host of Hunan TV,has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough to keep dialects from fading away.What we’re doing now is mostly rescue works.A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the“celebrity effect”(名人效应)to attract the young to use dialects.They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.93.We can’t often hear chatting locals adding“-er”to the end of syllables among today’s Beijing dwellers,can we?94.What endangers the existence of dialects?95.Why do we try to save dialects?96.Who is making efforts to protect dialects?97.How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way?By______________________________________________.98.Are you for or against the government’s efforts to save dialects?Can you think of any other way to help attract the young to use dialects?VIII.WritingWrite a passage on the topic“I’m a lucky boy/girl”in at least60words.请以“我是一个幸运的男孩/女孩”为题写一篇至少60个词的短文。

Teenagers won’t spend a day without any meal. Some kids like eating round the table and they seldom smoke to lose weight.Researcher Barbara Fiese said, “It is true that teenagers don’t want to be around their parents very much, and they are just too busy for regular（定期的）meals with the family”.Parents may not be able to get the family together around the table seven days a week. However, it will be helpful to their children’s health in some ways if they can have three family meals a week.Teenagers who share three meals with the family eat healthier foods and have better eating habits.

Later, many used the stars to describe a person's character and to say what would happen in the future.A person's zodiac sign(星座) is connected to his or her birth date. Some believe this sign can tell us about a person's character. For example, some think that a person born under Cancer (between June 22 and July 22) is kind and home-loving.

A person's animal sign is connected to his or her birth year. Every animal has a different type of character. People born in the Year of the Monkey are smart and good at making money.

However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.

They want to go out to see something different or do something exciting. So people from the country go to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It is very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets. Many people take trains or planes for travelling.Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holidays. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute, and we thought it was a nice place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big green tree and began to eat. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a sad trip!41.

S. continues to grow.“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling(奋斗) to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course; I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer” you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.46. We can learn from the text that many newly married people ____.A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. are happy to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things47. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _____.A. run a DIY shopB. make or repair thingsC. save time and moneyD. improve the quality of life48.

Jim Hatfield decided to become a "do-it-yourselfer" when _____.A. his car repairs cost too muchB. the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not possibly do two jobsD. he had to raise the children all by himself50. What would be the best title of the text?A. The Joy of DIYB. You Can Do It Too!C. Welcome to Our DIY Course!D.

There were only three people for the final interview. The interview was very simple. The interviewer only chatted with them for a while during it. At last the interviewer said to them, ―All of you are very good. Please go home and wait for our reply.‖Three days later, Joe received a message from the company. It said that he had not been offered a job. Joe felt upset. But later in the evening he told me that he had received another message. It said that he had been employed by the company.Actually the first message sent to Joe was also part of the test in the interview. The three men received the same message, but only Joe’s reply satisfied the company, so he was given the job. I asked Joe, ―How did all of you reply?‖ Joe said, ―One did not reply, the other said `goodbye’, and I said `thank you’.‖Only then did I know that Joe’s job came in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say thank you to the one who disappoints you. Saying thank you shows respect for others’ work. Therefore, while under the same condition, you may get more chances compared to others!1. It took Joe a very long time to get an interview.2. The final interview was too hard for Joe.3. Joe and the other two people received the same message at first.4. The other two men didn’t reply to the company when they got the company’s first message.5.

It’s a part of a three-week Michigan summer programme that is funded through donations (捐款).―We are hoping that these teenagers are going to learn skills that they can use later on, when they finish high school,‖ says Ellene Corance, a programme assistant. ―And I have seen great growth in the students.‖It is 15-year-old Sierra Burkes’ first job. Her dream is to become a nurse or a dancer. ―When I first came, I used to be all talking,‖ says Sierra. ― Now I have learnedhow to control my attitude (态度).‖―It’s like a dream that comes true. We are getting experience making movies and videos,‖ says Alphonso Mayberry, 17. ―It’s the experience of having a job and getting real pay. We are learning to work hard.‖ Alphonso says he wants to become a disc jockey (DJ), a police officer or work in a recording studio.Organizers expect the movie to run for about 30 minutes. It will have its first showing at a local theatre. ―I think it will be cool,‖Sierra says. ―It’s going to be exciting. I want everybody to come and see me. I’ll be happy.‖1.
