河北省保定市高阳中学2014-2015学年高二英语下学期第六次周练试题（无答案）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AMy mom just bought me a new bike. Since my cousin Mary didn’t have a bike with her, she walked next to me. I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar.My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your f ace? Vanessa, look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand — she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it— deal with it and learn from it. One day, the consequences (后果) will be greater and I won’t be there to help you. Think it out, Vanessa.”1. We can learn from the text that .A. Vanessa fell because she didn’t hold the handlebarB. Vanessa and Mary rode the bike by turnsC. Vanessa was blown down by the heavy windD. Vanessa and Mary were all injured2. In the author’s opinion, her mother .A. was always gentle to herB. encouraged her all the timeC. was cold sometimesD. didn’t care about her at all3. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Vanessa’s mother was strict with her.B. Vanessa understood her mother’s love.C. Vanessa’s mother would leave her.D. Vanessa wasn’t eager for her mom’s hug any more.BCARE London to Paris Cycle ChallengeIn this challenge you’ll cycle from London to Paris in three days, enjoying the beautiful countryside along the way.You will cycle through the peace of rural (乡村的) England to Portsmouth, where you will cross the river by boat to Ouistreham. The route then winds through peaceful lands and attractive villages,where you can taste fine French food before cycling to your final destination, Paris.Why join our London to Paris Cycle Challenge?This is a great way to get fit and experience the best of rural Europe with friends, colleagues or on your own as a personal challenge. The money you raise will support CARE’s work around the world. CARE works to help poor people lift themselves out of poverty (贫穷). For example, we support volunteers like Eugenia who travels by bike to distant towns near her home in Peru to make sure pregnant (怀孕的) women and new mothers receive medical care. Before, women were often left with little support or language barriers which meant medical care assistants could not communicate effectively with them. With local volunteers’ support, women living in remote areas can benefit from health services.What is included on the London to Paris Cycle Challenge?Guides, medicine and support staffThree nights’ accommodationMeals during the challenge, including a celebration meal on the final night in ParisBoat from Portsmouth to OuistrehamReturn from Paris to LondonThe minimum amount of the money you’ll have to collect for this chall enge is £1,350, which includes your registration (注册) fee.

In 1985, two days before he died, he gave that ticket to Cave —ticket number 00001. “It created a fascination (酷爱) with the bridge that I have to this day,” says Cave. And it started him on a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge first.Cave came up with a simple but daring idea — lease (租用) the bridge from the government and allow ordinary people to climb Australia’s greatest icon. “I thought it would take two years,” says Cave, 63. “What appeared like a simple job turned into some very complex activities. But in business, you just have to keep going —it’s about having self-belief.” Indeed, it took him nine years and ten months to convince the NSW government to allow his dream to be a reality. “Six years were wasted dealing with some very restrictive officials,” says Cave. They threw difficulty after difficulty in his path with doubts over the safety of the climbers and the motorists below — the list went onand on.Through it all, Cave held the ticket tightly. It was a constant reminder of why, to Cave, this fight was worth winning. Finally, in 1995, came the breakthrough (突破) he’d worked for — a letter arrived from WorkCover, the state’s occupational health and safety insurer, backing his idea.Since opening on October 1, 1998, over 1.8 million people have climbed the 1,439 steps to the top of the bridge, making BridgeClimb a $50-million-a-year success and a major international tourist attraction.8. Cave at first thought his dream .A. was a hard taskB. was easy to come trueC. would get support from the governmentD. would become some complex activities9. What was the restrictive officials’ attitude towards Cave’s idea?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Enthusiastic.10. What inspired Cave to fight for his dream during the hard situation?A. WorkCover.B. Harbour Bridge.C. BridgeClimb.D. Ticket 00001.11. The text mainly tells us that .A. not every dream in our life is very easy to come trueB. you should have self-belief even faced with great difficultyC. family members always give you the inspiration for successwD. life seems a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge firstDA habitat is a natural area where wildlife lives undisturbed. Most animals and plants have become endangered not because they have been killed on purpose but because their habitats are being destroyed.Human activities have changed or destroyed habitats for thousands of years. The natural habitats in almost every country in the world have been affected in some way. Let us take Britain as an example. Nowadays most of the British countryside consists of fields of grass grown for cattle and sheep or crops for humans. If you had lived about a thousand years ago, the countryside would have looked very different for most of Britain was covered with forest.Now there are only small areas of woodland across the country, one of the largest areas being the New Forest in Hampshire. Throughout the centuries humans have steadily (持续地) cut down the trees to make room for the human population which has increased greatly particularly during the past 200 years or so. The trees have been replaced by houses, factories, schools, roads, farmland etc. Hedgerows (灌木篱笆) which were planted by humans as boundaries (界限) around fields have replaced woodlands.As you may imagine, the great loss of habitats has affected the wildlife that lives in them. Large animals such as the Brown Bear and the Auroch became extinct in Britain during the 10th century mainly due to destruction (破坏) of their forest habitats. Other British species of animals and plants have become extinct during the last few hundred years and many more are endangered today. Although many organizations are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are still being destroyed.12. The text mainly tells us .A. what a habitat isB. how to protect wildlifeC. habitat destruction makes animals endangeredD. how to prevent the environment from being destroyed13. According to the text, animals are endangered mainly because .A. people kill wild animals on purposeB. the environment is seriously pollutedC. humans haven’t worked to protect themD. the human population has increased greatly14. We can learn from the text that .A. the New Forest is the largest woodland in the worldB. the Brown Bear has been extinct for many years in BritainC. humans destroyed natural habitats mainly by growing cropsD. humans planted hedgerows to make home for cattle and sheep15. Which of the following may the writer agree with?A. Setting up reserves is the best way to protect animals.B. We can hardly stop animals from being endangered.C. Things will become better for wild animals in Britain.D. Human activities began to affect wildlife 200 years ago.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。

英语第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt all started off with five. It was raining, and my dad told me that I had to make five free throws(投球) one after another without a break before I could go home.I was ten years old at that time. So I shot(投球) until I indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the number of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, saying that I missed it on purpose. So in high school I would usually get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175. I never expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one game really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal High School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge (报仇). With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul (犯规). Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — giving the ball to me every time. And every time my teammates gave me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to the free throw line and made two free throws successfully.I ended up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.1. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. the a uthor’s father was very strict with himB. the author’s father wanted him to create a recordC. the author had to make five free throws every dayD. the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 102. How many times was the author fouled?A. Ten.B. Seven.C. Six.D. Five.3. What can we learn from the text?A. The author could make fifty free throws within two minutes.B. The author’s hard work brought a good result in the game.C. The author’s coach didn’t know the author had t he talent.D. Royal High School team was stronger than the author’s team.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding.He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her legs and apply some bandages. Bryan said, “At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things.I made sure she was as comfortable as possible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job.Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he said, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowledge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people. I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”4. Before helping the old lady, Brian ..A. had given first aid on many peopleB. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC. knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into practice5. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.6. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. The reason why Brian was asked to help.B. Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C. How Brian gave first aid on the old lady.D. How the old lady reacted to Brian’s performance.7. After using his first aid skills twice, Brian .A. was discouraged and decided to give upB. realized he still had a lot of things to learnC. decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD. decided to help more people with his first aid skillsCA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees to get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water. If all our employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are confused about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plants. The disaster resulted in a review of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable(能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air conditioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn down the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summer months.8. The company gave the order of hairstyles to .A. keep the company offices cleanB. show a good image of the businessC. make the staff look tidy and prettyD. help reduce energy consumption9. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan .A. is building more nuclear plantsB. has to rethink its energy policyC. limits people’s daily energy useD. decides to close old nuclear plants10. It can be inferred from the text that .A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of Japan’s energyB. nuclear plants will soon disappear in JapanC. the company is not alone in saving energyD. other companies have copied the “hairstyle order”11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable power is welcome in JapanB. Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC. Short hairstyles may help save energyD. Japan is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding off(睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is the best way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, n odding off after learning something new is like “telling” the sleeping brain what to remember. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who slept for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously(有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into memory for events and memory for facts about the world. People use both types of memory every day — remembering where they parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be called.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness(不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students’ memories were greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather than following a full day of wakefulness.“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this study is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative memory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to go over any information you need to remember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”12. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.B. Nodding off after learning something new helps remember it.C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.13. We can learn about the study that .A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB. 207 students were eager to take the testC. it tested students studying something declarativeD. people’s memory can be divided into two types14. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 hours each dayB. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ memoriesC. a full day of wakefulness can make students’ memories improved greatlyD. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning15. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.D. If you want to improve your memory, you should sleep.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。

河北省保定市高阳中学高二英语下学期第六十三次周练试题第一部份阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）ADear Santa,What do I ask this year? I have read each ad carefully in my mailbox, and looked through the colorful ads in the newspaper. There are so many lovely things, but I need nothing.I realize this as I walk up the hill on my strong legs. I can hear the air fill my lungs. I feel the cold on my cheeks. I smell the smoke of the fire that warms my home. I see the snow-covered mo untains and the small river dotted with fat geese.I need nothing. There are people who love me. There are people who forgive my sometimes bad temper and who touch me with loving hands. There are neighbors who smile in the store. There are shopkeepers who tolerate me when I don’t have enough money. There are kind faces in public places.There is a fat cat who often slides into my garage. Dogs and other cats share my hearth(炉床); I love to feel their fur with my feet. There are hawks that teach their young how to fly, right there behind my house. There are deer that wander into my yard and smell apples.Green beans, tomatoes, peas and carrots color my kitchen. And a full bucket (桶) of hand tools and neatly dried seeds promise next year’s rich harvest. I need nothing.Today I discovered a hole in my jeans. I felt the December air flow down my leg. How powerful the hand is that sweeps the wind along the mountains! Santa, dear old soul, just give me another day like this one in my life.1. The author has read each ad in his mailbox in order to .A. find something as a present for himselfB. find something as a present for his kidsC. get the news about vegetable pricesD. get the news about pet ani mals2. What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Uncertain.B. Anxious.C. Hopeful.D. Dissatisfied.3. We can learn from the text that the author .A. is very old and in bad healthB. lives alone and has few friendsC. is too poor to pay for good clothesD. may live close to mountains and riversBI want to become a journalist and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In order to find the answer, I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist.“You’ve got to have the interest. If you don’t like it, you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job,” Mary said.Out of experience Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, “What a journalist does is painting a little picture of a story. The information has to be accurate. Therefore, you really have to be watching and listening.”Mary also emphasized (强调) the importance of experience. “It is important to collect as many skills as possible to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills come from experience, so you won’t walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because you’ve done it long enough,” she said.Mary said, “You will not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepared to put in long hours; you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word, you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you think ‘Why is somebody paying me to do s omething that I really love?’”From what an experienced journalist said, I learn that it is not just about the skills, but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.4. The underlined part “not persist” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.A. stay upB. stand outC. give upD. keep up5. In Paragraph 2, Mary Harte mainly tells us that .A. being a journalist is interestingB. journalists will face a lot of difficultiesC. the author must be fond of journalismD. many people give up journalism6. According to Paragraph 3, Mary Harte thinks that it is important to .A. get accurate information through talking and watchingB. watch what other journalists do to make a wonderful storyC. talk to people about how they want their stories to be writtenD. add as much information to a story as possible to make it funny7. By saying “You will not get a job handed to you” in Paragraph 5, Mary Harte means the author .A. will not become a journalistB. will have to work hard for the jobC. will not get any help from othersD. will get tired of being a journalist soonCVolcan de Lodo El Totumo, ColombiaIf in Colombia at the end of February, you should make Cartagena part of your journey —here between December and March every year is the opportunity to get dirty. Bathing in mud from the Volcan de Lodo El Totumo can be best described as a primal (原始的) experience. The volcano is small, looking more like a little hill. If you reach the very top, you’ll discover gray mud. It’s believed that the mud has a curing effect in cleaning your skin.La Tomatina, SpainIt’s possibly the most famous food fight in the world. So if you think tomatoes are only for salads, you are on a wrong track. In a small Spanish village named Bunol, on the last Wednesday of August every year, trucks dump (倾倒) about 120 tons of tomatoes in the streets of the town and tomato juice flows from there.El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), MexicoIn early November each year Mexicans gather in cemeteries (墓地) to hold a celebration. That’s a celebration of the dead. People smoke cigars and eat festive foods to show life goes on as they honor those who have died. The idea is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead pay their families a visit on October 31 and stay until November 2.World Ice Golf Championship, GreenlandFor more than 10 years the World Ice Golf Championship has been regarded as the most extreme golf tournament in the world. There golfers take extreme temperatures as their first task to deal with. Then it will take players time and patience to be accustomed(适应) to orange balls to play with. Determined by weather conditions, the tournament is scheduled for March each year in Greenland.8. The text is mainly about .A. interesting holiday centers for travelersB. some unusual festivals and eventsC. strange customs around the worldD. special sports events in Europe9. Which of the following lasts the longest?A. Volcan de Lodo El Totumo.B. World Ice Golf Championship.C. El Dia de los Muertos.D. La Tomatina.10. The most challenging thing for golfers in the World Ice Golf Championship is .A. to reach Greenland in MarchB. to walk on the ice instead of grassC. to make themselves used to the weatherD. to find the orange balls in the snow11. El Dia de los Muertos is held in order to .A. pass their belief to the next generationB. visit the dead in a special wayC. celebrate the death of othersD. honor their ancestorsDAt 91, Philip Theil lives in a century-old house in Seattle’s University District and that’s the way he wants to keep it. “As far as I’m concerned, I would not like to leave this place. L iving in a group is something I couldn’t tolerate. I’d kill myself before I have to do that.” Many elderly Americans, who can no longer manage on their own, spend their final years in a nursing home. However, the vast majority of seniors would prefer to live in their own homes as long as possible.Theil says he and his wife manage pretty well right now. But the couple can feel their advancing age and realize they will soon need more help with basic household chores, like changing the light bulb at the top of the stairs.“To change that tube, I have to bring in a stepladder (折梯) and put it partly on the landing and partly on the stairs and climb up,” Theil says. “It’s frightening.” In the old days, the Theils could ask their children to help them. But those young helpers have grown up and gone. “We have kids and we call them sometimes, but one lives in Munich, Germany, another lives in London and the third lives in New York,” Theil says. “They’re not going to visit us for a weekend.”So the Theils would like to join a virtual (虚拟的) village, which provides a local network of volunteers helping the elderly people in place. They help seniors with anything from transportation to home repairs and dog walking. The concept came into being in Boston a decade ago and has since grown into a national movement. In most cases, the villages charge a membership (会员) fee from about $100 to more than $1,000 per year. Once you’re a member, some of the services are free.12. Theil wants to .A. live with his children togetherB. kill himself before moving outC. live in his own home for his final yearsD. spend the rest of his life in a nursing home13. The difficulty for the Theils at present is that .A. the light bulbs in their house always break downB. they can’t do some household chores easilyC. they can’t take care of themselves at allD. they miss their children too much14. What can we learn about Theil’s family?A. The old couple can’t depend on their kids helping them.B. Their children all live in foreign countries.C. Their children are too busy to go home.D. Theil’s wife can’t manage on herself.15. According to the text, we learn that .A. the number of the old people in the US is increasing greatlyB. virtual villages help the old people stay in their own homeC. people often offer help to the old people for free in the USD. virtual villages have become popular around the world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）按照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I fetched a ladder and reached the ceiling. There I saw a metal container that I recognized as a World War II ammo (弹药) box; my grandfather used to store tools in ammo boxes on his farm. I opened the box and was surprised at what I saw —several rolls of money tied up in orange thread. I found $800. My God! I found another seven boxes, plus two big black bags also full of rolls of money. In all, about $45,000.My first thought was that this was a blessing from God. But I knew I should returnthe money to the former owner, David, instead of satisfying all my desires. So I called him and asked him to drop by.However, he was shocked not about the money but about what I did. He said he had recently inherited(继承) the house and it must have been his dad who had hidden the money. What made him do it? I think he did it for his children.There were balls of that orange thread still hanging on the wall of the garage when we moved in. I used them to tie up Christmas presents last year for my kids.I hope it reminded my kids of the gift greater than money that my wife and I gave them — the honesty.36. David was shocked that .A. there were so many ammo boxes in his former houseB. a lot of money was found in his former houseC. the author returned all the money to himD. his father hid so much money for him37. What can be inferred from the text?A. David missed and appreciated his father very much.B. The author hoped what he did would affect his children.C. The author’s grandfather hid some money in an ammo box.D. David’s father was very rich during the Second World War.38. The main idea of the text is that .A. people should be honest all the timeB. the author treasured the orange threadC. money should be returned to its ownerD. money should be hidden for childrenBThe following is a list of some of Tokyo’s most popular spots for cherry blossom, including the typical (典型的) time for best views in the year of 2012.Shinjuku GyoenShinjuku Gyoen has more than one thousand cherry trees of over a dozen kinds, including many early and late flowering trees. There are giant lawn (草坪) areas, and the atmosphere is calm and peaceful. Thanks to the early and late blooming trees, Shinjuku Gyoen is a good place for those who miss the main season for a week or two.10 minutes’ walk from Shinjuku Station, 200 yen, April, from 9:00 to 16:30Ueno ParkAs one of Japan’s most crow ded, noisy and popular spots for cherry blossom parties, Ueno Park has more than 1,000 trees along the street leading towards the National Museum. Ueno Park’s blossoms typically open 1-3 days ahead of the blossomsin other spots in the city.A few steps from Ueno Station, admission free, March 27 to April 15, from 17:30 to 20:00Sumida ParkThe park covers a few hundred meters along both sides of Sumida River. Some food stands (摊位) are available. Cherry blossom views can also be enjoyed from rented (租的) boats. There are several picnic spots under the cherry trees. Trees are lit up in the evenings, which is different from other spots.A few steps from Asakusa Station, admission free, March 31 to April 8, from 8:00 to 21:30Inokashira ParkThere are a few hundreds of cherry trees in this giant, public city park, which has a central pond.

If you miss the main season of cherry blossom for one week, you can go to .A. Inokashira ParkB. Ueno ParkC. Shinjuku GyoenD. Sumida Park40.

Ueno Park’s blossoms open later than other spotsC. we must pay admission fees to go into Ueno ParkD. we can enjoy a giant lawn in Ueno Park41. Why is Sumida Park special from other spots?A.

Sumida Park and Inokashira Park are different from the others in .A. offering boat toursB. early opening timeC. free admissionD. hundreds of treesCHere are some tips on how to keep you, your belongings (财物) and your money safe during travel. After all, it’d be a shame to spend all the time and research finding the best price for your trip, only to lose your cash and credit cards to a thief.★ Don’t show others that you are not a native.You’re a tourist. You know that, but you don’t want everybody else to knowthat. Don’t unfold your big map on a busy corner. Don’t ask strangers on the stre et for directions. Learn your route ahead of time, and step into a business for directions whenever possible. Avoid flashing your guidebook around, or publicly referring to your language dictionary when traveling abroad.★ Keep your friends close and your money closer.A lone traveler equals easy pickings for an experienced criminal. If you are traveling alone, try to hide that fact. Stick with groups whenever possible and keep information-sharing with taxi drivers and the like to a minimum (最少量).Another thing you don’t want to advertise: where you keep your money. A fanny pack (腰包) may be convenient, but it means “I’m not from around here!” If you have a purse, keep it close to your body, preferably under an item of clothing like a jacket or sweater so t hat thieves can’t steal it. Be sure your wallet is in a securely fastened pocket. Or go like 007 with a hidden money belt. How cool is that?★ Be careful, even in your hotel room.Never ever blindly answer a knock at your door. If the knocker identifies(确认) himself as a hotel employee, call the front desk to confirm. Always make sure your hotel door completely closes.Don’t leave your valuables lying around when you leave for the day.43. Why shouldn’t tourists wear a fanny pack?A. Because it can’t hide money.B. Because it is not convenient.C. Because it shows that they are not local.D. Because it can’t be hidden under their jacket.44. Why does the author mention 007’s money belt?A. To persuade readers to learn from 007.B. To persuade readers to buy the belt worn by 007.C. To persuade readers to hide money in their belt.D. To persuade readers not to show others where they keep money.45. This text is intended for .A. thievesB. touristsC. hotel managersD. language learners46. We can learn from the text that .A. when traveling abroad, we shouldn’t open our language dictionary in publicB. we can leave our money at the hotel when traveling abroadC. we should go to open the door if we hear a knock at itD. we should not talk with taxi drivers abroadDFast-food giant, McDonald’s, said that they would cut out excess calories in their kids’ menu choices. McDonald’s will reduce the amount of chips(炸薯条) in Happy Meals and will also include sliced apple “dippers” in every meal. McDonald’s says it will still include the ever-popular toys with each meal.“We are going to pay attention to how we can introduce more food groups such as fruits, vegetables a nd whole grains,” said Cindy Goody, McDonald’s senior director of nutrition.After getting much of the blame for childhood obesity, fast-food chains, especially McDonald’s, began selling more nutritious menu items such as oatmeal (燕麦粥) and salads. But the restaurant was most blamed for its marketing (市场营销) which is often aimed at young children. Some cities, such as San Francisco, California, have banned(禁止) toys from all kids’ meals that didn’t meet strict nutritional rules for fat, salt and sugar content because the prizes attracted more children to the fast food.McDonald’s felt public pressure to change their offerings. The company has reduced chips in every meal. This decreases calorie content by about 20 percent, which means a new Happy Meal is less than 600 calories. In the past, the unhealthiest Happy Meal consisted of a cheeseburger, chips and one percent chocolate milk, which contained 700 calories and 27 grams of fat.“It’s a good first step,” said Kelle Louailler, executive director of Corporate Accountability International. His group watches over companies. “However, we have yet to focus on the problem: its brand marketing to kids. And so long as burgers, chips and soda offerings to kids, along with toys, remain central to that brand, health professionals(专家) will continue to call for the marketing to stop.”47. The underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. enoughB. extraC. entireD. expensive48. We can infer from the text that in McDonald’s the apple “dippers” is a kind of food that .A. is most popular with customersB. contains apples and whole grainsC. is a lot healthierD. is high in calories49. McDonald’s will make some changes in meals because of .A. the high prices of fruits and vegetablesB. the change of children’s eating habitsC. the pressure from the publicD. some strict nutritional rules50. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?A. The problems that McDonald’s is facing.B. Some changes th e McDonald’s has made.C. Its marketing is blamed by some people.D. Customers dislike its new menu.EBee Gees star Robin Gibb, who awoke from a coma(昏迷) last month, has a “50-50” chance of recovering from the colon cancer that may have spread to his liver, a friend of the singer told British newspaper The Telegraph.Jim Dooley, former lead singer of British family band The Dooleys and one of Gibb’s friends, told the paper, “It’s hard to say whether he could come through this but his wife Dwina is a wonderful woman and she is giving him all the love and TLC she can give.”Dooley told the paper that Gibb, 62, was unable to speak due to a tracheotomy (气管切开术) and was communicating by blinking (眨眼).“Dwina has said that because he has spent so long in a coma, there are a lot of things he will have to learn to do again if he comes through it. He will have to relearn how to walk,” Dooley said. “The plan is to get his strength up so he can continue chemotherapy (化疗) treatment for his cancer.”It’s said that Pope(教皇) Benedict XVI is sending a special blessing for Gibb.Dooley and Gibb have been working together for four years to raise money for the Bomber Command Memorial in London.Gibb entered a London hospital after catching pneumonia and was in a coma for nine days. His doctor credited the singer’s iron will and deep reserves of physical strength with helping him wake from the coma but said how the disease would develop was still uncertain.Gibb founded the Bee Gees with his twin brother, Maurice, and older brother, Barry, in the late 1950s and went on to sell an estimated 200 million records. The group’s 1970s hit songs include “Night Fever”, “Tragedy” and “How Deep Is Your Love”.51. The underlined expression “TLC” in Para. 2 probably means .A. thick layer of cakeB. tender loving careC. total lung capacityD. twice long connection52. We can learn from the text that Robin Gibb .A. cannot express himself at all at presentB. will be sure to recover because of his wife’s careC. will most probably fail to come through the cancerD. can communicate with others through eyes53. What can we infer from the text?A. Robin Gibb may lose part of his memory if he can recover.B. Robin Gibb won’t receive chemotherapy treatment any more.C. Robin Gibb might have had his two legs seriously injured.D. Robin Gibb might have died but for his wife’s love.54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Bee Gees was founded in the late 1970s.B. Dooley raised money for Gibb’s operation.C. Gibb and Dooley founded the band Bee Gees.D. Gibb is probably in a hospital in London at present.55. Gibb will most probably recover because of the following EXCEPT .A. Pope Benedict XVI’s blessingB. the doctor’s careful treatmentC. his wife’s love and careD. his strong willpower第三部分书面表达(共两节，满分35分)第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the pass age I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it：a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours？” An answer, my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread（姜饼）. We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven（炉） in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potat oes and eggs, but never in the open air.The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.36. The text is written mainly to .A. show the importance of reading aloudB. discuss food culture in children’s booksC. provide a new means of family educationD. introduce some interesting books37. The author believes tasting foods from the books may help children .A. enjoy more healthy foodB. be friendlier to each otherC. know more about historyD. understand the books better38. The underlined words “Turkish delight” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to .A. a great timeB. something deliciousC. a trip to TurkeyD. more stories39. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that the author’s family .A. will look for a secret garden in the woodsB. will read The Secret Garden in the open airC. will eat roasted potatoes and eggs at homeD. will cook potatoes and eggs in the woods40. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage？A. The taste of a good bookB. The best way to make kids learnC. Eating means more than readingD. Our roasted potatoes and eggsBAbout 18,000 refugees（难民）from Burma have come to the United States each yearsince Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned the language, their parents did not. That made communication with teachers arduous.At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches English to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s mother, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. It’s once a week, on every Wednesday, from twelve to one o’clock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. They’re more communicative. As parents, they are also more involved in their children’s school.”Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Mr. Davis hopes the lessons will help these parents feel better about communicating with the school. He said, “Even as simple as making a phone call to say that their son or daughter is sick, even if that’s the amount of English that they have got from the program, that truly will help us.”41. What is the main idea of this passage？A. A local school is providing free English lessons for the poor.B. Refugees from Burma are trying their best to learn English.C.

You will get several sites that offer freelance work-at-home job boards and you should choose the sites that are credible（可信的） enough.You will know when the site is credible because first of all, they do not ask you to pay them suddenly even before you have found a freelance work-at-home job through their services.

But not all freelance work-at-home job boards require bidding. Some job boards will ask you to send your resume and they will contact you if you make the grade.The Internet is a world that is open to a lot of opportunities especially for people who want to work at home.

Thousands of pubs have closed since the financial crash inThe Plough, which was once a coaching house for travelers, has been serving Britain’s famous warm beer since the days of Shakespeare. Now it is under threat too. “Yeah. So many pubs have been closed over the last few years even in this area,” said Derek O’Neil, the manager of The Plough Pub.Many reasons are the cause—a ban on smoking in public, severe laws against drinking and driving and high taxes have all combined to kill off nearly 10,000 pubs in the last seven years, according to the British Beer and Pub Association.

Many have turned into supermarkets, where the beer is sometimes cheaper.Britain’s pubs continue to play an important part in the UK economy, selling thousands of different beers and employing more than a million people. The reality, though, is pubs are suffering something of a hangover （遗留物）. In the last 15 years the amount of beer sold in pubs has fallen by eight million barrels to just under 36 million a year. Pub landlords want tax breaks（税务减免）.“People have less money in their pockets, so they can’t go out and spend it and habits are changing—so much alcohol is nowadays drunk at home,” said Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive o f the British Beer and Pub Association. “Yeah, I miss the pubs where there’s a lot of character, especially 30 years ago.
