Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican food are called red hots for their color and their taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of thetwentieth century. It probably comes from that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song—Mood Indigo—about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: “You aren’t blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A. passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy(羡慕嫉妒. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars.The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered asa black day.21. If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it___.A. a white dayB. a black dayC. a red dayD. a green day22. Suppose a Mr Brown says he is very happy because his three children are all in the pink, this means all his children are____.A. lucky and wealthyB. gentle and modestC. fit and healthyD. creative and energetic.23. When she got home and found nothing had been done by her husband, Jane was really____.A. red hotB. greenC. blueD. black24. In the following paragraph, the writer might tell the reader something about___.A. unpopular organizations in the worldB. people’s response towards a black dayC. the influence of the traditional bluesD. more words about a color, such as brownBHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because theyare happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory(领地)is an area that an animal ,usually the male, claims(声称)as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species(物种)are welcome .Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him .A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time ,especially at nesting(筑巢)season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.25. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’ singing is actually______. .A.an expression of happiness B.a way of warningC.an expression of anger D.a way of greeting26.What is a bird’s “territory”?A.A place where families of other species are not accepted.B.A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C.An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own27.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A.Because they want to invite more friends.B.Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C.Because they want to find outsiders around.D.Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.28.How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A.By comparing(比较)birds with human beings(人类).B.By reporting experiment results. C.By describing birds’ daily life.D.By telling a bird’s story.CAs we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles(皱纹) and maintain (保持)a youthful body. But people often don't realize the voice needs looking after. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, tells how to keep your voice youthful.Drink more fluid and avoid spicy foodYou need water for the vocal cords(声带) to vibrate(振动) well. The body must be kept hydrated enough to make the vocal cords operate well. Drinking 1.5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important. Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate.Rest the throat and talk regularly(有规律的)The vocal cords can be scared if you use your voice during a bad cough. If you have a case of laryngitis(喉炎) with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice.Simply staying sociable (社交的)and using your voice is very important. “As older people get less mobile, they can speak less.” says Mr. Rubin. “The old need to communicate with people more. By using the vocal cords, they enable the aging process to slow down. ”Improve your posture(姿势)Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we'd better stand properly. Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone.Sing in the showerThis is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx musclesstrong while the steam lubricates(使润滑) the voice box.“Singing is gymnastics(体操) for the voice,”says Mr. Rubin. Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone.29.Mr. Rubin gives us advice on ______.A.ways to keep us from aging B.ways to keep our voice youthful C.ways to talk with other people D.prevention of diseases caused by talking too much30.Which of the following statements is TRUE in the opinion of Mr. Rubin? A.Taking more onions can keep us healthy.B.Professional singers' voices tend (倾向)to age quickly.C.The steam can do great harm to the voice.D.We should stand properly to keep our voice youthful.31.To protect the voice, the old people should ______.A.get less mobile B.lie in bed moreC.avoid using the voice D.communicate with others moreDHow to Be a Successful Language Learner?“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree. For them, learning a language is difficult. They need hundreds of hours, and even this will no guarantee (保证) success for every adult language learner.But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They don’t depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues(线索)and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learnersdon’t wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It’s more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they’re interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. If your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the ways above.32.The writer of this passage wants to tell us ___ .A. learning a language is easyB. ven a child can learn a second languageC. how to be a successful language learnerD. learning a language is a very difficult task33. Successful language learners are similar in many ways. How many ways did the writer mention in this passage? A.2 B.3 C.4 D.534. According to this passage, when you don’t know the meaning of a word in the text ___ .A. you should look it up in the dictionary at onceB. you should ask your teacher for helpC. you should guess the meaning of the wordD. you should ask your deskmate35. If you want to learn English well you should ___ .A. learn it from a famous teacherB. try to look for any chance to use itC. remember as many patterns and rules from your teacher as possibleD. recite as many passages as possible第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Theirsinging is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory(领地)is an area that an animal ,usually the male, claims(声称)as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species(物种)are welcome .Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him .A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time ,especially at nesting(筑巢)season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.25.

But people often don't realize the voice needs looking after. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, tells how to keep your voice youthful.Drink more fluid and avoid spicy foodYou need water for the vocal cords(声带) to vibrate(振动) well. The body must be kept hydrated enough to make the vocal cords operate well. Drinking 1.5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important. Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate.Rest the throat and talk regularly(有规律的)The vocal cords can be scared if you use your voice during a bad cough. If you have a case of laryngitis(喉炎) with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice.Simply staying sociable (社交的)and using your voice is very important. “As older people get less mobile, they can speak less.” says Mr. Rubin. “The old need to communicate with people more. By using the vocal cords, they enable the aging process to slow down. ”Improve your posture(姿势)Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we'd better stand properly. Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone.Sing in the showerThis is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates(使润滑) the voice box.“Singing is gymnastics(体操) for the voice,”says Mr. Rubin. Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone.29.Mr. Rubin gives us advice on ______.A.ways to keep us from aging B.ways to keep our voice youthful C.ways to talk with other people D.prevention of diseases caused by talking too much30.Which of the following statements is TRUE in the opinion of Mr. Rubin?

Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree. For them, learning a language is difficult. They need hundreds of hours, and even this will no guarantee (保证) success for every adult language learner.But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They don’t depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues(线索)and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners don’t wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They findpeople who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It’s more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they’re interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. If your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the ways above.32.The writer of this passage wants to tell us ___ .A. learning a language is easyB. ven a child can learn a second languageC. how to be a successful language learnerD. learning a language is a very difficult task33.
