AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artis ts on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an e xhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there i s a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the researc h and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge Univer sity.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant pro duces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant m ore commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on inse cts and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and dr unkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about t he pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of tim e walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fi elds. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experie nce and on the way home you can drop into the village for aft ernoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it fro m Virginia Woolf ,a famous writer,—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim i n the same pool.1.The main idea of the passage is __________.A. interesting stories of Lord. ByronB. an approach to becoming creative in artC. the colorful life in the countrysideD. some places for weekend break2.If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you’d better go to__________ .A. Byron’s PoolB. the Botanic GardenC. King’s Art CentreD. Cambridgeshire3.According to the passage, the following statements are wro ng except __________.A. There is a small charge for attending the masters’ classB. Byron liked swimming naked in the lakeC. Byron seemed to like keeping pet bearsD. Hissing Sid and Flytrap are impressive animals4.The autho r’s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show__________ .A. she was a famous writerB. she was fond of swimmingC. she was Byron’s admirerD. Byron’s Pool is a pleasant placeBWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided t o visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advi ce about how to find accommodation . I suggested that they s hould stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of place gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they cam e back with some funny stories“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “b ecause we found most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had h appened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VA CANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘h olidays’ is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where thesign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means the re are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the s ign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. B ut they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends mad e in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ m eans fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVER SION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fu n. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, wh en someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”5. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car6. ‘NO VACANCIES’ in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holid ayD. holidays7. When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______.A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them t o take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to expr ess my politeness8. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away becau se I ______.A. hadn’t finished drinking my coffeeB. was expecting another cup of coffeeC. meant that I didn’t want any moreD. was never mis understoodCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choic e for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(打盹)—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains moremelatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, ac cording to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Fo od.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice t o sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has n ot been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellen t for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which help s people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the bes t choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat yo u take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk______ _.A. were more anxiousB. woke up laterC. were less activeD. started sleep more easily10. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It’s used in sleeping drugs.C. It can make people more energetic.D. It exists in milk in great amount.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Milk Drinking and HealthB. An Experiment on MiceC. Fat, Sugar and HealthD. Night Milk and SleepDParents have to do much less for their children today than the y used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food c an be bought, cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the rest aurant，the worker’s canteen，and the school dining-room. It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other emplo yment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Nowadays boys are seldom train ed to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employm en t and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile（纺织物） areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out t o work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more th an doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant（占主导的） figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. W hen mother works, economic advantages increasing，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employ ment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.12. The writer mentions home as workshop in the past becau se______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity by themselv esC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are worker s13. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow th eir father’s occupation is that ____.A. children rarely see their fathers at their place of workB. fathers do not like to pursue employment at homeC. there is a wide choice of employment for childrenD. children also like to have jobs and earn money outsid e14. What makes father no longer the only dominant person ina family?A. Mother’s and children’s earning enable them not just to depend on father for life.B. There are many choices of employment for mothersand children nowadays.C. Father does much less for his children and earn muc h less today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has in creased greatly now.15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the change at home ?A. Unacceptable.B. Worried.C. Unconcerned.D. In terested.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。

He got the plates in seconds, wrap ped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card, to which I replied no, because I lived in Switzerland, to which he replied asking if, as I lived abroad, would like a tax rebate form(退税表).

Caring and responsible．B. Intelligent and aggressive．C. Helpful and outgoing．D. Generous and modest．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】A【解析】21．B，主旨大意题，短文主要介绍了足球运动员Pelé的情况，主要讲了他从小到大的经历，到后来成家，因此主要是关于他的生活，故答案为B．22．C，推理判断题，根据句子He was born in 1940和Pelé retired from soccer in 1971可知，他停止踢足球是1971-1940，也就是31岁的时候，故答案为C．23．A，推理判断题，从最后一段的描述He likes to be with his family，He gives money to help poor children．可推测Pelé是有同情心和有责任心的人，故答案为A．短文主要介绍了足球运动员Pelé的情况，包括他取得的成就和家庭情况等．解答任务型阅读理解题，首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．BUrban swans might be born with a daredevil gene that makes them less fearful of humans，compared with their rural colleagues．A study has found swans living in cities tend to be bolder and it is at least partly determined by a gene called DRD4．Birds with this gene could therefore be better adapted to settling in more populated areas，while more timid（胆怯的）swans would escape to less inhabited regions．It could help to explain why swans in public parks and on urban rivers have a reputation for being so aggressive towards humans-they are simply not afraid of us．Biologists from some universities in Australia，tracked and collected blood samples from black swans living in two wetlands near cities．One group of swans lived in a recreational urban park，while the other occupied a waste-water processing site out of town．The two areas were less than 20 miles apart．Later，from 2011through 2013，the researchers started systematically scaring the swans at both sites．The researchers approached the birds and calculated how close they could get before they flew away．As expected，they noticed that while rural swans started flying away if a human was closer than 119 meters，the scientists could come as close to urban swans as 39 meters before taking off．Analyses of the blood samples，in fact，showed that 83 percent of the less cautious swans presented the same genetic DRD4 variation（变异）while rural swans have different genetic makeups resulting in more wariness（谨慎，小心）．The researchers conclude that swans with the bold variation of the gene might choose to live in urban environments，as they tend to be less bothered by human presence．4.The underlined word in paragraph 1means ______ ．A. timidB. cautiousC. boldD. stubborn5.What's the difference between rural swans and urban ones？______A. The rural swans carry more DRD4．B. The urban swans are more friendly．C. The urban swans are less scared of people．D. The rural swans are aggressive towards humans．6.What does DRD4 refer to？______A. a kind of blood．B. a kind of food．C. a kind of genetic variation．D. a kind of swan．7.What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about？______A. The living habit of swans．B. The living environment of swans．C. The contribution of the biologists．D. The process and result of the research．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】C 【小题3】C 【小题4】D【解析】24．C，词义猜测题，根据后面定语从句that makes them less fearful of humans"让它们不那么害怕人类"，可推测该词的意思是"勇敢的"，故答案为C．25．C，细节理解题，根据句子It could help to explain why swans in public parks and on urban rivers have a reputation for being so aggressive towards humans-they are simply not afraid ofus可知，乡下和城市的天鹅最大的不同就是城市的天鹅更不害怕人类，故答案为C．26．C，细节理解题，根据句子with the bold variation of the gene might choose to live in urban environments可知，DRD4指的就是一种基因变异，故答案为C．27．D，段落大意题，第四段主要讲了生物学家通过研究不同天鹅的血液样本，并得出结论，因此这一段主要讲的是研究的进程和结果，故答案为D．短文主要讲了有DRD4基因的天鹅相对比起没有这种基因的天鹅更勇敢，更不怕人类，同时这也是乡下和城市的天鹅的不同之处．解答任务型阅读理解题，首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．CThe American literature is from the Romanticism to the Realism．The American Romanticism began from the end of 18th century to the outbreak of the Civil War，which is also called the American Renaissance．The period is as well as the time of American Westward Expansion．During the period，there were lots of workforces crowding to the cities，which promoted the industry．The people found that they need their-own literature to record their experiences．So the Romanticism flourished（繁荣）．The Romanticism in American literature focuses on imagination and emotional factors．The American writers paid more attentions to the free expression of feelings and thecharacters'inner world．During the romantic period，there were many writers：Philip Freneau，William Cullen Bryant and so on．The Realism in American literature was from 1865to 1914，and it takes on the American spirit，especially in American stories．The Realism against the Romanticism，advocates the people to come down to the earth and get rid of daydreams．During the 50 years from the Civil War to the WWI，the America had experienced a great change on many aspects，such as the politics，economy，culture and religion．It had changed the nature and the idea of the American society．The writers of new age didn't agree with the Romanticism of the old age．They were interested in real life and wanted to explain everything relating to the real life，which is to claim the objective reality，to get rid of idealism and Romanticism．There were 3 main writers at that time：William Peanoweils，Henry James and Mark Twain．Their writings represented the American native customs with their deep rural styles，which uncovered the people's inner life．8.What does the passage talk about？______A.

His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole ma king a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.45.

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said, “Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film, The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and worn his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody, like Mickey.In the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational film about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.
