A，B，C andD．Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．Passage OneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published innewspapers．I've been married for years，but until six months a90，I could be a typical absent—mindedhusband．Often l was just nodding when l was supposed t0．When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say，“0f course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice．Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throatwould be permanently damaged．Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of myrecovery．Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son lookedpuzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions．1 wanted to talk but couldn’t．Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books．That would come in handy the next coupleof weeks．When I got home，I noticed a“side effect”：as my wife talked to me to keep up myspirits，1 wasn’t just hearing her；1 was listening to her．Over the next few weeks，I didn’t want to miss a word she said,I began to hear sweetness in her voice．It had never left．I'd juststopped noticin9．I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as“things I just don’t get as a guy”．I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say．Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，Ibegan hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs．Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks onmy phone．After several weeks，1 was fully recovered．Conversation in our house is better now，notbecause I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that Ilike what I hear．36．According to the passage，the author is most likely a ．A．driver B．teacher C．doctor D．journalist37．What does the wife mean by askin9“Did you even hear what I just said?”in Paragraph l ?A．Yon should listen to me．B．You didn’t want to talk with me．C．You should tell me what I said just now．D．You didn’t have to nod while you were listenin9．38．，What is true of the author after the surgery?A．He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB．He was worried about his recovery after the surgery．C．He was unable to communicate with his son．D．He was unwilling to talk to his wife．39．What did the author realize after the surgery?A．His wife was a talkative woman．B．His house was full of pleasant talks．C．His son didn’t like talkin9．D．His dog liked pleasant birdsongs．Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons．It is one of the largest edible seedsproduced by any plant．Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consistsof both“meat’’and“water”inside．The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking a．nd flavorings；the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid．Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l 5 th century．referring to itas COC0，meanin9“ghost”in their language．The outside appearance of coconuts remindedthem of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since．The coconut has varied uses．It is used to make various cooking oils for fast．foodrestaurants around the world to make diet materials．The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hotclimates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree．This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks．Even the shell itself has many uses，including animalfood and fertilizer．Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food．Coconut oilis used for cosmetics(化妆品)，medicines，and so on．Dried coconut shells are used in manycountries as a tool for shining wood floors．The shells are also used for shirt buttons，and arecommonly found on Hawaiian clothin9．They are even used for musical instruments and birdhouses．And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit．The coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful things．It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as“the tree of life”．40．What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph l mean?A．Visible．B．Collectible．C．Available D．Eatable．4 1．The coconut got its name because of ．A．its hard shell B．its white colorC．its ghostlike appearance D．its round

useful plants．B．Coconut oil is rare and expensive．C．Coconut trunks are houses for birds．D．Coconut fluid can become fertilizer．Passage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad：others selectHomestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay?And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways ofdoing it：·choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：·have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualifiedteacher；·select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will alwaystry to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies(过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can berelatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre．Even if you stay further out，you can expect yourjourney into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes·Not onlY does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also glVes you an excelient opportunity to practise English with your host family．This is a very imPortant extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible．But if you plan to leam English，whynot have vour English classes in your host family．9 There’s no better way to learn English thanthis—the Derfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the Cultural experience !44．Homestay is an ideal choice for students wh0 .A．plan to visit relatires B．want to stay at homeC．plan to study overseas D．warlt to learn statistics ·45．Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A．The English teacher．B．The placement orgamzatlon.C．The host family．D．The language

complicated．D．The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive．Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money whilecreating a heahhier，more comfortable living space for you and your family．Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment.Here aresome handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf vour home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature eVen sllghtlycan make a difference．You may not feel it，but your wallet will．It is even more adVisable to control temperatures at different times of the day·Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline.The sunlightwill help eliminate bacteria and dust．While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’11 be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load．Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunli ght，s natural warmth. To stay c00l indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in thedaytime．Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? 、Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can．48．What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A．Having a healthier living environment．B．Improving your work efficiency．C．Keeping old habits unchanged．D．Enlarging your living space．49．Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A．It may help to build a greenhouse．B．It helps remove bacteria in clothes．C．It uses half the ell ergy that clothes dryers d0．D．It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers．50．What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of naturallight? ，A．Blinds．B．Curtains．C．Windows．D．Shades．5 1．Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A．Replacing time．B．Reasonable price．C．Good quality．D．Proper size．Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any officialholiday calendar．S0，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，t00．Right?Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，forexample，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have“liked”the page．Considering that studies show 3．3 million men，or l l．1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day．President Jimmy Cartersigned it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about thestepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have toendure the hurtful“You’re not my dad!”or“You’re not my mom!”And yet they never giveup．They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve“official”days ofhonor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will signinto law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me?Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we couldmake this happen!5 2．What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph l refer to?A．Father figures who are equally honored in the U．S．B．30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page．C．3．3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world．D．1 1．1％of U．S．fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U．S．53．What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in l978 7A．The National Grandparents’Day．B．The National Grandchildren’s Day．C．The National Stepparents’Day．D．The National Stepchildren’s Day．54．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 9．A．Unbelievable．B．Tough．C．Lastin9．D．Inevitable．55．What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents．9A．Because they love their role as stepparents．B．Because they are often treated as heroes in the family．C．Because they deserve respect and honor as family members．D．Because they are often seen as the most loving family members．V．Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below andcomplete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．A．Where are you going today B．That’s not our busC．I'll catch up on my reading to kill time D．There isn’t a cloud in the skyE．Did you catch the news today F．How long have you been waitingG．Have a nice day H．Don’t forget your book(At a bus stop)Mary：We couldn’t ask for a better day，could we?John：I know．56．I love this time of the year．Mary：This bus seems to be running late，doesn’t it? 57 ?John：I've been here for at least ten minutes．Mary：Ah，here comes a bus!John：Oh good．Wait ! 58 ．That bus goes downtown．Mary：Well，it looks like we’11 be waiting a little longer．5 9 ,I guess．John：Oh，I'm afraid you have no time for that．Here’S our bus．Mary：Oh great!I thought it would never come．John：60 !Mary：You t00．Ⅵ．Writing(25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in l 00—1 20 words based on the following information．Remember to write it neatly．61．你(Li Yuan)在英语学习中遇到了一些困难，希望得到帮助。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka －which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to saythat a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka”was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious,which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40.

Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) Aninvestigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient ora teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be.

What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so,however,I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering.What if I would keep putting my dream to test(even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.51.The passage is meant to_______.A) B) C)warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience encourage young people to pursue a writing careershow young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD)advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52.What can be concluded from the passage?A) B) C) D)A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.The chances for writers to become successful are small.53.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) B) C) D)He found his dream would never come true. He hadn't seen a change for the better.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year. He was not able to produce a single book.54.In Line13“...people who died wondering”，“who” refers to those.A) B) C) D)who think a lot without making a decision who regret giving up their career halfway who think too much of the dark side of life who are full of imagination even upon deathPassage TwoStudents can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains,buses and planes.Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip,too.You‘ll not only save money,but you'll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car.Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have'‘ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel.Many radio stations provide the same,sort of service—they announce who’s driving where,when,how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don?t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.55.

B) enjoyable A) eat in restaurants sometimes C) take some food with you B)invite your friends for a picnicD) have more candy and colaPassage ThreeEmily Dickinson was a nineteenth-century American woman who lived her life completely unknown to anyone except her family and a few friends. Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one oi the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an oid family; her ancestors had come lo the United States 200 years before. Her parents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn ’t seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women ’ s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, she spent a great deal oftime in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, she looked at her niece and said,“It ’s just a turn-and freedom, Mary!” It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important andcreative hours of her life were spent,the hours when she wrote her poetry.She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors,that is,as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59.According to the author,who is the greatest woman poet in America?A)Both Sappho and Dickinson C)Sappho B)Emily Dickinson D)Not mentioned60.Women in Emily Dickinson’s time______.A)are regarded as reclusesB) C)are expected to be obedient to men spend most of their time in social eventD)are expected to retreat from the world61.Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around.A)1630B)1830C)1730D)193062.Which of the following statement is NOT true?A) B) C)It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as“freedom”.She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D)Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people,and they spent a good deal of time with their family members.Section BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 63.国家的前途很大程度上取决于年 A) The happiest people don ’t necessarily have the best things; they just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.轻一代的教育。

Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear．(本题12分)1(单选题)According to the passage，the author is most likely a __________ ．(本题3分)A driverB teacherC doctorD Journalist标准答案： D2(单选题)What does the wif e mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?(本题3分)A Yon should listen to me．B You didn’t want to talk with me．C You should tell me what I said just now．D You didn’t have to nod while you were listening．标准答案： A3(单选题) What is true of the author after the surgery?(本题3分)A He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB He was worried about his recovery after the surgery．C He was unable to communicate with his son．D He was unwilling to talk to his wife．标准答案： C4(单选题)What did the author realize after the surgery?(本题3分)A His wife was a talkative woman．B His house was full of pleasant talks．C His son didn’t like talking．D His dog liked pleasant birdsongs．标准答案： B23(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题：Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons．It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant．Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water” inside．The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings；the coconut water isa white and sweet liquid．Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost” in their language．The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since．The coconut has varied uses．It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials．The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree．This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks．Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer．And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit．The coconut tree， which produces the nut，also produces many useful things．It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”．(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?(本题3分)A Visible．B Collectible．C AvailableD Eatable．标准答案： D2(单选题)The coconut got its name becauseof __________ ．(本题3分)A its hard shellB its white colorC its ghostlike appearanceD its round shape标准答案： C3(单选题)What is the passage mainly about?(本题3分)A The history of coconut．B Uses of coconut．C The discovery of coconut．D Types of coconut seeds标准答案： B4(单选题)What can be learned from the passage?(本题3分)A Coconut trees are useful plants．B Coconut oil is rare and expensive．C Coconut trunks are houses for birds．D Coconut fluid can become fertilizer．标准答案： A24(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题：Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Stati stics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular? Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--andalthough you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible．But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family．There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined withthe cultural experience !(本题12分)1(单选题)Homestay is an ideal choice for studentswho __________ .(本题3分)A plan to visit relativesB want to stay at homeC plan to study overseasD want to learn statistics标准答案： C2(单选题)Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?(本题3分)A The English teacher．B The placement organization.C The host family．D The language school.标准答案： B3(单选题)Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?(本题3分)A Nationality of the host family．B Eating habits of the host family.C Students’language level．D Students’specific needs.标准答案： D4(单选题)What can be inferred from the passage?(本题3分)A The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation．B The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay．C The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated．D The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive．标准答案： A25(阅读理解题)根据下面材料回答问题：Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family． Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment.
