A★★☆☆☆What does family mean to you? Could you capture it in a photograph? If so, our great new competition is for you! All you have to do is take a picture that sums up your sense of family life.The competition will be judged by the RD (Reader’s Digest) team andaward-winning photo-grapher Barry Marsden. To get your creative juices flowing, here are two of our regular photographers’ tips for taking great pictures.Pal HansenThe most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual (手动的) settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,” because it doesn’t cost a nything.Michelle McCarronKids find wonder in the simplest things, so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments. The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph. Frame your subject well. Get close to the action, or your subject, and choose your angle (角度) carefully. A slightly odd angle can make a photo different.HOW TO ENTER★ Take a clear photo with either a phone or digital camera. Send it to rdphotocomp@readersdigest. by 5 pm, August 30, 2014. Please include a brief explanation of who’s in the entry (参赛作品).★There are two categories — one for adults and one for under-18s.★In the adult category, the winner will receive £500. The under-18 winner will receive £250 of high-street vouchers (代金券) for a store of their choice.Rules:Please make sure that pictures are not published before.If you are under 16 you must ask your parent’s permission to enter this competition.We will use entries in all print and electronic media. We cannot return your entry.Entry is not open to employees of Vivat Direct Ltd (trading as Reader’s Digest) and all other persons associated with this competition, their immediate families, and relatives living in an employee’s household. The judges’ d ecision is final.21. What do we know about the photo competition?A. It is designed for readers of RD.B. Entries must be about family.C. Photos must be taken by a camera.D. Pal Hansen is one of its judges.22. To take part in the competition, one should _____.A. be 18 years old or aboveB. send in his entry in AugustC. ask his family’s permissionD. give a description of his entry23. According to the text, winners of the competition will _____.A. each win￡500B. get their entries backC. see their pictures publishedD. be offered some vouchersB★★☆☆☆He runs from explosions, drives over waterfalls and jumps from tall buildings. That might sound like Superman, but stuntman (特技演员) Vince Deadrick Jr. is very much human.As a stuntman in movies and television shows, Deadrick admits he’s no stranger to getting hurt. He has suffered broken bones, bled, gotten knocked out and nearly fallen to his death, but he considers himself lucky to be alive after some of the stunts he has performed.Deadrick has been a stunt coordinator (协调员) for the Nickelodeon channel for 12 years. He has worked with famous actors, directors and producers, and he has traveled all over the world. But that doesn’t mean his work is easy.It took him years of hard work to g et where he is today. Deadrick’s father, Vince Deadrick Sr., was also a stuntman, but his family connection didn’t give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business. He learned from his dad how to set up cardboard boxes and fall pads for high falls, and he started training on his own once he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps.As a stunt coordinator, Deadrick takes danger seriously. When he hires a new stunt performer, he looks for a professional.“You’re only as good as the people you hire,” he sa ys. A stuntman needs to know his own abilities and limitations so he won’t shy away from doing his best but also won’t be such a daredevil (铤而走险的人) that he could hurt himself or others.When the actors and stuntmen are going to do something dangerous, they need to know they’re trusting the right person. With over 40 years in the business, Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe.Though he has a large amount of responsibility, Deadrick loves his job.“I’m in a position where I have to make decisions on risk factors, keeping the actors and stuntmen safe while still making it look impressive. I love my business, and I love the excitement.”24. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Deadrick is _____.A. carelessB. optimisticC. unfortunateD. generous25. What do we know about Deadrick’s path to success?A. He picked up his stunt skills from a stuntman.B. He made it with hard work and great effort.C. His dad offered him great encouragement.D. His dad led him into the movie business.26. When hiring stuntmen, Deadrick _____.A. can’t be too carefulB. prefers the fearless onesC. likes those with no limitationsD. puts experience above all else27. What does Deadrick think of his job?A. Hard and boring.B. Easy and attractive.C. Skilled but relaxing.D. Challenging but exciting.C★★★☆☆Many of the inventions that form part of our everyday lives had their roots right here in the UK. Let’s take a look at some of the most important inventions.The bagless vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) James Dyson, 1979There are some things we don’t know we need until someone invents them. Step forward, the bagless vacuum cleaner. James Dyson came up with the idea after spending a lot of money on an expensive cleaner that simply pushed dirt around.Most of us would have left it that, but Dyson went on to change the basic principle of a vacuum cleaner —an idea that hadn’t been challenged for 100 years —by designing a system that removed the necessity of the bag for good. His final version took five years of research.However, when Dyson first approached manufacturers (制造商) with his idea, he couldn’t interest them. But he didn’t give up and set up a factory in Wiltshire in 1993 to produce them himself. Two years later, Dyson products were outselling the competition.The Mini Alec Issigonis, 1959While the Americans were driving supersize Cadillacs, Britain famously went in the opposite direction and came up with a small car.Alec Issigonis was responsible for the design and made a name for himself in motoring history with its launch (投放市场) in 1959 for the British Motor Corporation (BMC). The Mini’s success wasn’t overnight. Many thought it “strange”, but it developed into a love affair with the British that’s never decreased, helped by the fact that many stars loved it.The London sewage system (污水处理系统) Joseph Bazalgette, 1865Like any major city, London has always produced large amounts of waste. Give thanks, then, to Joseph Bazalgette, an engineer who developed a far-reaching underground sewage system. It changed the process of getting rid of waste by dumping it into the Thames River. Even more impressive was his idea to construct pipes that would function for nearly 150 years and still be large enough to meet the need of an increasing population. As he said, “We’re only going to do this once.”28. What do we know about James Dyson and his idea?A. His efforts paid off at last.B. He enjoyed immediate success.C. His idea attracted many manufacturers.D. He set up the first vacuum cleaner factory.29. The Mini won its popularity _____.A. soon after its launch in 1959B. because it was advertised by starsC. with the help of some famous peopleD. because people lost interest in supersize cars30. The underlined sentence “We’re only going to do this once” in the last paragraph shows Bazalgette was _____.A. cautiousB. confidentC. far-sightedD. strong-minded31. What did the three British inventors have in common?A. Their success came after many failures.B. They influenced many other inventors.C. They made their inventions by accident.D. Their inventions changed people’s lives.D★★★☆☆As each semester begins, my colleague greets his students wearing a jacket and tie.“You make only one first impression,” he says. So while the rest of the semester he teaches class in his usual, more casual clothes, the first week he presents a different image.His thought is that students will remember their first meet positively and more readily think highly of him as the semester goes on because that favorable first impression has an influence on them.The sequence (顺序) that we meet matters in how we judge subsequent (后来的) information. The big influence of first impressions is related to the halo effect, where the perception (看法) of positive qualities in one thing or part gives rise to the perception of similar qualities in related things or in the whole.Here is an example: You meet a friendly person at a party and later are asked to collect money for a worthy cause. You call that person because you think she will make a contribution. In reality, there is no connection between being pleasant and being generous. Yet the halo effect leads you to think that the two are related.The halo effect is powerful, but it is questionable whether it matters much in long-term relationships, such as that between teacher and student. While dressing up may make students think the teacher must know his subject matter because he creates a professional first impression, the effect wears thin if the person turns out to be a poor teacher after all.First impressions matter but they don’t have the final word. Facts speak louder. If you had never seen or heard of Einstein, the first time you saw him your impression would most likely be negative. Now his face is connected with genius (天才), not madness because he is the person who has come to define what genius is.The problem is tha t few of us are Einsteins and we often don’t get the chance to change a negative first impression.32. The author explains the halo effect mainly by _____.A. giving an exampleB. making a comparisonC. setting down general rulesD. following the order of importance33. In the author’s eyes, the halo effect _____.A. is surprisingly powerfulB. matters more in the long runC. may affect our judgment of othersD. makes some teachers irresponsible34. The author uses the example of Einstein to show the importance of _____.A. appearanceB. truthC. impressionsD. fairness35. The author seems to advise readers _____.A. to mind their first impressionsB. not to judge a book by its coverC. not to follow others’ judgmentsD. to pay no attention to the halo effect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。

单元检测：Unit 2一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2 分，共30分）AOne of the main points of traveling is to relax and take a break from your normal daily life. But the truth is, we’re not always free to do what we like when traveling to a foreign country, and a US tourist learned that the hard way.On Aug 12, the unnamed 41 -year-old man was beaten by a passerby after he was seen giving Nazi salutes (纳粹礼) again and again on a street in Dresden, Germany. Ever since the end of World War Ⅱ, Germany has strict laws forbidding the Nazi salute, as well as other symbols of Nazism.In fact, most countries have their own taboos (禁忌).If you plan to travel overseas, it’s best to get familiar with these taboos before you start touring local sites. Here are some examples. SingaporeYou can get fined for a lot of things in Singapore, including feeding birds, spitting (吐痰), smoking in public, not flushing (冲) a public toilet after you use it, and eating or drinking on buses or trains.JapanYou’re not supposed to wear your shoes in someone’s house, but you’re not supposed to take your shoes off outside the house either. Instead, there’s a small area inside the door called a “genkan” which is where your shoes should go. If you’re still not sure where that is, pay attention to what other people do and do the same.FranceFrench people don’t like it when you talk about money. It’s OK if you say that you want to quit a job because you aren’t paid enough money, but you should never say the exact amount. Money is considered to be a “dirty” topic in Fr ance.1. Why was the US tourist was beaten in Germany?A. He was beaten by mistake.B. He was not welcome in Germany.C. He acted improperly in Germany.D. He quarreled with a local person.2. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Eating or drinking on buses is acceptable in Singapore.B. You should take your shoes off outside the house in a Japanese house.C. You should keep your shoes on in a Japanese house.D. It is impolite to ask a Franceman’s salary.3. Which column is this passage most likely to be taken from in a newspaper?A. Campus LifeB. DiscoveryC. Science StudyD. Star StoriesBWhen I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs.Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d hiked up to h er doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting, I’d sit and drink while she talked.Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr.Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” she’d say. The first time s he said that, soda (汽水) went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser (募捐活动).She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “F ine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever p eople ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.4. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?A. He was talking fast.B. He was shocked.C. He was in a hurry.D. He was absent-minded.5. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?A. He enjoyed the drink.B. He wanted to be helpful.C. He took the chance to rest.D. He tried to please his dad.6. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it out of her system"?A. recover from her sadnessB. move out of the neighborhoodC. turn to her old friendsD. speak out about her past7. What does the author think people in a community should do?A. Open up to others.B. Depend on each other.C. Pay for other’s helpD. Care about one another.CFlying to another country can sometimes take several days. But the designer of a futuristic jet (喷气式飞机) says his plane could take you around the world in your lunch break.According to an article in TheSun, theplane called the Antipode, could carry 10 people and use rocket boosters (火箭助推器) to go12 km high. Then it could fly from London to New York in less than 20 minutes, or from New York to Shanghai in 24 minutes.A normal Boeing 747 has a top speed of 917 km/h. The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. But the Antipode would be capable of reaching a crazy 25,750 km/h!Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde used to be the w orld’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew, A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. No Concordes were flown again after 2003.The Antipodes design includes a special nose that stops it from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.“It’s always something that people would like — a transportation system that could take you from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr Bombardier told the BBC.Don’t try to buy a ticket on the plane yet, though. The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality.8. What is the biggest difference between the Antipode and other normal planes?A. It can fly much faster.B. It can hold many more people.C. It can fly much higher.D. It can be much safer.9. Which of the following about the planes is NOT true?A. A Boeing 747 can reach a speed of 917 km/h.B. Air Force One is the fastest plane in the world.C. The president of the United States usually takes a Boeing 747.D. The Antipode could be about 24 times faster than Air Force One.10. What do we know about the Concorde?a. It used to be the world’s biggest passenger plane.b. It made loud noises when it was flying.c. Its nose got dangerously hot when itd. It stopped flying after 2000.A. abB. beC. cdD. ad11. According to the story, we know that ________.A. a US designer designed the AntipodeB. people now can book a ticket to fly on the AntipodeC. the Antipode has already been producedD. the Antipode won’t have the problems that the Concorde hadDWhen it comes to eating, most of us don’t have to go very far. But for many bird species, finding food may mean traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers.A team of researchers from institutions in the UK and Ireland spent five years tracking (追踪) four species of seabird to monitor their travel patterns. It was discovered that over the five years, the species covered an area of 1.5 million square kilometers when hunting for food-almost four times the size of Japan.The findings were published recently in the journal Ecological Applications. As part of the study, over 1,300 birds were fitted with GPS tags to track their movements. It was discovered that most of them search for fish in the same place-waters off the coast of Scotland.As a result of this, organizations such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) will spend more time trying to preserve coastal Scotland.“For the first time, this study provides us with a full map for each breeding colony (繁殖群体) of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species,” wrote the study’s lead author Ewan Wakefield, from the University of Glasgow.“That means we can now protect the places these birds catch the fish they need to feed their hungry chicks.”The findings could also affect the future building of offshore wind turbines (满轮机). Although wind turbines help to fight climate change by providing a green source of energy, their huge blades (刀片) are blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds each year, as they often fly into them.Stuart Housden, director of RSPB Scotland, said in a news release that although climate change is a huge threat to both humans an d nature alike, we should “invest in an energy system that works for both people and our natural heritage.”To protect both nature and the environment, the RSPB supports the building of turbines in areas that won’t have “significant adverse (不利的) impacts on important bird populations or their habitats,” it wrote on its website.12. What did the scientists from the UK and Ireland find about the four species of seabird?A. They have totally different travel patterns.B. They prefer to catch fish in places near their nests.C. Climate change has influenced their hunting distance.D. They can travel a very long distance to find food.13. According to the article, why is the research important?A. It shows what a perfect living environment for seabirds is.B. It was the first to use GPS technology to track seabirds.C. It could guide people on how to better protect seabirds.D. It provides more information about the diet of seabirds.14. Wind turbines are a threat to seabirds because ________.A. they produce noise that could disturb seabirdsB. their strong airflow could influence the flight of seabirdsC. their big blades may kill the seabirds that fly byD. they force seabirds to move away from their habitats15. According to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, ________.A. no more wind turbines should be built in the futureB. we should think of more measures to protect the climateC. the government should invest more money to protect seabirdsD. we should consider wildlife when we build turbines in the future二、七选五（共 5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分）On many websites productivity experts share advice on how to achieve your career and life goals. Many experts agree on one thing: 16. ________ Here are four ideas on how to start your day off right.Get up an hour early.In American English, we like to say, “The early bird gets the worm.” This expression means that people who rise up early have a head start and, therefore, are more likely to succeed.17. _________ One of them is “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”18. _________You see a Facebook post from a friend and he is angry about some political issue and the heated discussion pulls you in.

Unit 2 The United Kingdom单元检测Ⅰ.阅读理解ACities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops—at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent sta tement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”1. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D.

I got an aisle seat next to him. I looked at him and tried to smile as I sat down. But there was a blank, distant look that made me stop mid-smile. One of those, I thought.Each time I take a flight, I try to chat with a fellow passenger. Most people are responsive when they’re alone at 40,000 feet. But the m an wearing the suit on my left was a puzzle. One of those non-resident Indians, I thought. What do you lose if you just smiled at a fellow human being? Most of the time, he stared fixedly at the seat in front of him. Why are some people so full of themselves?When the stewardess brought lunch, the unfriendly man had his eyes shut. She gave me ashould-I-wake-him-up look. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t get his lunch. Serves him right. He soon woke up and saw me eat. But he didn’t ask for his meal. He could just have pressed a button. That’s his problem.We still have almost two hours of flying left. I read a magazine. I try to play a video game. I listen to music. He does nothing. At times our eyes meet, but he isn’t all there. He’s like no other pass enger I’ve ever sat next to. By the time our jet lands in Mumbai, I find his presence almost uncomfortable. As we taxi down the runway, I hear the man speak for the first time—on his mobile phone. He seems to be discussing his connecting flight. About some body receiving him… Just before the aircraft comes to a halt, he’s the first to stand up. “Excuse me,” he says to me. “May I leave? I can’t miss my connecting flight.”Hmm…! I get up to make way for him when he goes on mechanically, “My wife and child die d in a road accident in Delhi.” I’m shocked by his words. Suddenly, everything falls in place.Despite his terrible loss and the sufferings he has been enduring, he was calm, controlled throughout. And, maybe, in the midst of his soul-crushing sorrow, he didn’t want to burden a stranger with his pain.5. How does the author find the passenger in a suit sitting close by during the flight?A. Dangerous.B. AngryC. TroublesomeD. Dull6. Which statement is true according to the text?A. The author was guilty of not informing the man of the lunch service.B. The man showed little interest in the author’s attempt to make acquaintances.C. The man refused to talk on the plane because he had trouble connecting the flights.D. A car crash cost the man his beloved family in Mumbai.7. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Everything goes wrong to a certain extent.B. The man’s strangeness has an understandable reason.C. Everyone on board feels sorry for mistaking the man.D. All passengers make way for the man.8. What lessons did the author learn in the end?A. Never assume until you walk in the other’s shoes.B. Nothing is so certain as the unexpected.C. What’s done cannot be undone.D. Let bygones be bygones.Ⅱ.完形填空阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

England, Wales and Scotland make up the island of Great Britain, which takes up most of the Britain Isles. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are mountainous. The highest mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland. Plains and valleys cover much of England. The British climate is mild.About 58 million people live in the United Kingdom. Few other countries are so crowded. Four out of five people live in cities such as Belfast, Glasgow, and London. London is the capital. Great Britain grows half of the food it needs. Its industries help to pay for the food that is bought from abroad. The United Kingdom manufactures a wide range of goods. Service industries, such as tourism, that provide services rather than producing goods, are increasing. Traditional industries, such as coal mining, are declining.36. There are many mountains in ______________.A.N orthern Ireland, Scotland and EnglandB.England, Wales and ScotlandC.W ales, Scotland and Northern IrelandD.N orthern Ireland, Wales and England37. In the United Kingdom, about __________people live in big cities.A. 58 millionB. 48.8 millionC. 38.8 millionD. half38. According to the passage, which of the statements is true?A.G reat Britain grows all of the food it needs.B.The United Kingdom manufactures a narrow range of goods.C.T he speed of tourism in UK is increasing faster than producing goods.D.T he coal mining is also increasing fast.BLondon is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has about seven million people. The river Thames runs through London.People from all over the world visit London to see Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. There are many museums, theatres and parks in London, as well as offices and factories. London began as a Roman settlement called Londinium. The plague(瘟疫) came to London in the 1600s, followed by the Great Fire of 1666. The city was badly bombed in World War II.London is very slowly sinking into its foundations and the level of the river Thames is slowly rising. As a result, extra-high tides could flood a large part of London. To prevent this happening, a great barrier（屏障）has been built across the Thames at Woolwich. If very high tides happen, the barrier can be raised and London will be safe.39. London is the capital of _________, which began as a __________ settlement.A. England; RomanB. UK; FrenchmanC. Scotland; EnglishD. UK; Roman40. According to the passage, from 1600 to now, ________ great disasters have happened in London.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four41. The reason why a great barrier has been built across the Thames at Woolwich is that_________.A.L ondon is very slowly sinking into its foundationsB.the level of the river Thames is slowly risingC.e xtra-high tides could flood a large part of LondonD.a ll of the above.CLondoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazinesand even of books—especially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spiteof ever-increasing rises in the costs ofprinting. They still continue to buy ‘proper’books, too, printed on good paper andbound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being ‘the biggest bookshop in the world’ to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shopsstock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize —in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy(哲学), politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture(冒险) off the beaten path, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows(手推车) which line the gutters(贫民区). And the collectors, some professional and some amateur(业余爱好者)have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth manypounds.42. According to the passage, we can infer that __________.A.L ondoners like borrowing books from librariesB.Londoners like buying books, magazines and newspapersC.L ondoners like reading books in librariesD.L ondoners don't like buying ‘proper’ books.43. Charing Cross Road which is well-known for ________ lies in the __________ of London.A. bookstores, East Central districtB. publishing houses, downtownC. Bookshops, centerD. libraries, countryside44. The underlined word “solely” in the second paragraph means__________.A. whollyB. partlyC. jointlyD. seldom45. The third paragraph mainly tells us _________in London.A.w here to buy the dear new booksB.where to buy the cheap new booksC.w here to buy the cheap second-hand booksD.w here to buy the dear second-hand books第四部分短文改错Good driving can only be learning by constant practice .and a strong desire to be the skilful driver. Many drivers do little more than to look at the road ahead while driving. You must train yourself to fix your eye so that they can see not only the road in the front of you but objects on each sides of you and even behind you. Concentration was one of the most important things in safe driving. The driver’s seat is not a place of daydreaming or enjoy yourself with the goods showed in shop-windows. Nor it is a place for a tired driver of a worried one. Driving is a most serious job.参考答案第一部分单选1-5 BDCBA 6-10 CADDB 11-15 CABDB第二部分完形16-20 A DCBB21-25 CDCBD 26-30 ACBA C 31-35 CCABD第三部分阅读36-40 CBCDC 41-45 DBCAC第四部分改错1. learning—learned2. the—a3. to look—look4. eye—eyes5. the front—front6. side7.was—is8. of—for9. enjoy—enjoying 10 . it is—is it。

The26 name of the United Kingdom is 27 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ”.28 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has themost 29 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 30 “England” and “English ”when they 31 “Britain ” and “British ”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little32 . The Scots in particular are very 33 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 34 as English, and have a culture and even a 35 of their own.Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 36 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 37 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 38 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 39 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is notnow even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations ( 英联邦 ).

None of them are exactlythe same as any of the others.The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain,or Britain,refers to the largerof the two main islands. But the word “Britain ” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK .Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries onthe island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and theofficial name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of theBritish Empire ( 帝国 ).

If you want to write to someone in Edinburgh that lies in Scotland, you should write the address as ____ .A. Edinburgh, EnglandB. Edinburgh, Great BritainC. Scotland, Edinburgh, EnglandD. Great Britain, Scotland, EdinburghCHundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy outof Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill.“We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said,“Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We mu st win, or we will die.”They were all very tired.So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep.There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fellasleep.The Romanswere not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill.Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost atthe top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put hisfoot on a thistle (蓟).He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but itdid not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. liked it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their flower. Few people national50.

The Scots made thistle their national flower because thistle ____ .A. is lovely, though not beautifulB. gave them happinessC. is a kind of useful plantD. helped the Scots in wiping out theRomansDIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19 th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had noclue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Untilrecently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, exceptperhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled,based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Nowthings are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes haveintroduced whole foods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), anda vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the maintourist centers. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse （精美） , it nearly always makes up for inplenty, and ingredients( 成分 ) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includesrich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of itsgreat specialties is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods suchas stews （炖菜） and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation ratesare nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eatenough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!54． What was Irish food like until quite recentlyA. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful55 How has Irish food improved in recent yearsA. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive56． What is the main reason for this improvementA. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food 57． How does the passage describe Irish cooking todayA. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad58 Which of the following statements is true according to the textA. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centers.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.EA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii ( 庞贝，意大利那不勒斯邻近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium ( 体育场 ) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii ’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius ( 维苏威火山 ) , a grass-covered volcano ( 火山 ). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted ( 爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall onPompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried ( 埋藏 ) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all to its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, anItalian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover ( 发现 ) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jarshad some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii likedwine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that isstill sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化妆品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues.One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to59． Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii eachyear A. To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.60.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount VesuviusA The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C Few people expected the volcano erupt again.D The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass61.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79A Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.62. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded ”in the third paragraphA.爆炸B. 震动C. 坍毁D. 开裂63.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years agoA They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.VI 短文改错 (12 分)Would you like spend your holiday traveling by balloon Now thousands of people are interestingin the game.
