AAn old lady in a plane had a blanket(毯子)over her head and she did not want to take it off . The air hostess spoke to her, but the old lady said, “I have never been in a plane before , and I am frightened. I am going to keep this blanket over my head until we are back on the ground again !”Then the captain came. He said, “Madam, I am the captain of this plane. The weather is fine, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything is going very well. ”But she continued to hide.So the captain turned and started to go back. Then the old lady looked out from under the blanket with one eye and said, “I am sorry, young man, but I don’t like planes and I am never going to fly again. But I’ll say one thing, ”She continued kindly, “You and your wife keep your plane very clean!”1. An old lady had ___________.A. a blanket over her head B glasses C. a coat D. a basket2. The old lady had never been _________ before.A. abroadB. homeC. in hospitalD. in a plane3. The woman didn’t like planes and she was never going ___________.A. to travelB. to fly againC. to go abroadD. to go homeBIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around,and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached,and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now,the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4. From Paragraph 1,we learn that the villagers________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. lived a different life from their forefathersD. were poor but somewhat content5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. They needed money to buy medicine.B. The frogs were easy money.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.6. What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. The pesticides were overused.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. There were too many insects.7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.B. Health is more important than money.C. Good old days will never be forgotten.D. The harmony between man and nature is important.C King's College Summer SchoolKing's College Summer School is an annual( 每年的) training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English.

So far, more than 1,800 murals(壁画)have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti(涂鸦)are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP).

"When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community(社区).When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.12.What can be the best title for the text?A.

Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______.A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and GermanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断)with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her gl asses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind perso n, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take the task home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C. He gave up readingD. He learned a lot from school6.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A. AngryB. ImpatientC. SympatheticD. Encouraging7.What is the main idea of the passageA. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and ajump on it anytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, becauseI want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.8. Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?A. It is her favorite place to play.B. Her needs can be satisfied there.C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D.

Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.10. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom11. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note--- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk nextdelivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.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,选项中有两项为多余选项How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like?

AA SAFE HOMEIt is sad but true that people die in earthquakes from falling furniture (家具)and bricks. Earthquake safety is very important and there is more to it than just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes.First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house. Make sure the building has no broken windows and is well repaired.Second, look at the objects in your house. Those in the living room, which are the most likely to hurt us, are computers, televisions and lamps. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t easily move around. The kitchen, which is also very dangerous, must have strong doors on all the cupboards. This is the place wheremany small things are stored that might fall down. The water heater (水暖气)should have a case round it too. Windows are a special problem. When they break, glass can cause many accidents. It is better to use safety glass if you can, especially for pictures.Always remember: “It is better to be safe than sorry.”1. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. It’s necessary for people whose homes are in an earthquake area to prepare carefully before an earthquake comes.B. Never buy a house which is earthquake safe.C. Make sure that all pipes are fixed to walls that are thick and strong.D. It is important to have a house which has bolts underneath and no broken windows.2. Anyone __________ will be hurt in an earthquake if the window glass breaks.A. who lives in the houseB. who walks in the open airC. who stands close to windowsD. whose house has safety glass3. The passage suggests that those __________ should read it carefully.A. for whom this advice is writtenB. who are going to buy housesC. whose houses are earthquake safeD. who build the buildingsBThree Travellers’StoriesSALLY’S STORYI was going overseas on a short holiday. I needed to take some medicine from the doctor with me. The pills were in a big bottle, so I counted out how many Ineeded for the holiday and put them into a small bottle. When I arrived at my destination, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills. The officer wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills. I didn’t. I found out it was illegal to have these pills without a doctor’s permission. In the end a customs officer called my embassy and the embassy telephoned my doctor. I didn’t get to my hotel till after midnight and I was very stressed.PAUL’S STORYI was staying in a small village in Turkey. The countryside around the village was very beautiful so I decided to go for a walk. I had been walking for about an hour and a half when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and I couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone where I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing. I began to worry that I might have to stay there all night. I had no water or food and no warm clothes. I was very frightened. Luckily, a couple of hours later, a young boy came past on a horse. He lifted me onto the animal and took me back to the village.DONNA’S STORYIt was a very hot day so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I noticed everyone was looking at me, and they didn’tseem very friendly at all. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned left down a small, quiet street. I hadn’t gone very far when I realized my mistake. Two men were following me. I started to run but suddenly my way was blocked by two other men walking towards me. Luckily for me a taxi came around a corner and I was able to stop it and jump inside quickly. On the way back to the hotel the taxi driver explained that this was a very religious town and that the people did not approve of women walking around in clothes that didn’t cover them properly.4. If you have to take special medicine while travelling overseas, ___________.A. have your doctor go with youB. take the pills in a new bottleC. carry a doctor’s letter that explains thisD. phone your family5. If travelling alone, you should let someone know the following except ______.A. where you are goingB. when you will be backC. where to search for you if you don’t get backD. what you will do because it is private6.

The three stories tell us that _____________.A. travelling overseas is dangerous.B. any dangers and problems could happen.C. we should not travel alone and wear proper clothes.D. we should carry enough money with us.CYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me, but they did pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself.When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job.I did not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power in1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for food and help from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.8. The author felt good about himself because ____________.A. the prison guards studied with himB. Mandela taught them himselfC. many of his friends passed the examsD. he believed he could get a degree if he had the chance9. As a leader of South Africa, Nelson Mandela helped prisoners of Robben Island by _________.A. giving them an educationB. giving them moneyC. putting the guards in prisonD. giving them a job10.

The underlined number in the last paragraph refers to __________.A. the room number of prisonB. the author’s number in prisonC. the author’s ageD. the work timeDA 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)ice-breaker 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 to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a 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. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the U.S., 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 sportsto be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,”said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major English-speaking 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 U.S. 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 Americans themselves,”he wrote in The Guardian.12. The writer quoted the sentence, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”to show that ___________.A. making jokes can help you make friends with native speakersB. local jokes can help you to understand the local culture betterC. understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammarD. to understand its jokes, you’d better learn the culture13. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?A. She feels confident in using Spanish.B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.C. She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.D. She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring toSpanish people.14. Joe Wong is used as an example to __________.A. show that there are cultural differences in humorB. prove that it can be difficult to translate jokesC. suggest that bilingual people(双语者)have no problems in making people laughD. show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor15. From the article, we can learn that ___________.A. jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people who have different cultural backgroundsB. Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokesC. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easilyD. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortable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。
