AOwning pet birds is not just feeding them when necessary. You have to be very responsible if you have decided to keep birds as pets.If you really want to acquire a companion, think in advance whether you are able to handle it.Depending on what pet bird you are going to have and how big it is, the cost is different.For example, the cost of a comfortable cage, the cost for nutritional food and the money for some additional things should be taken into consideration.There are also some unexpected cost.For example, when your pet bird gets sick, you have to send for a vet.You may think that you do not have free time to have a dog so you’d better have a pet bird because it doesn’t require a lot of attention.You are wrong! Some people even do not have time for a short sleep.They will not have enough time for pets, either.For good bird health it is very important to handle them and play with them as much as you can.Also there are a lot of people who think that birds do not require a lot of space and they are wrong again. They also need to fly so if you do not have space for it, you’d better reconsider the things.But do not forget the great advantage of having a pet bird.In the animal kingdom, birds rank near the top when it comes to smarts. You can have a friend for life if you take good care of it.It’s a real character and can bring joy and colour in your home.21.What is the text mainly about?A.The advantages of keeping a pet bird.B.Things to consider if you want to keep a pet bird.C.The reasons for keeping a pet bird.D.Different types of pets for different people.22.We can learn from the second paragraph that .A.you have to be very rich to keep a pet birdB.some cost of keeping a pet bird is unnecessaryC.the cost of having a pet bird is unpredictable sometimesD.it is very easy to calculate the cost of having a pet bird23.If you want to have a pet bird, you needn’t consider .A.the space a pet bird needs to fly B.the cost of having a pet birdC.the time taken to care for a pet bird D.the knowledge about a pet birdBNo country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they 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 give detailed description of national and interrnational news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news to attract local readers.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate(中立的). Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to give a balanced picture.As in other 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 exposed political scandals, for example, the Warga Affair(水门事件).24 Which newspaper in the U.K. is national?A. Le Monde.B. Washington Post.C. New York Times.D. The Times.25. Most American newspapers attract readers by carrying________.A. national newsB. local newsC. international newsD. political news26. In order to win the competition with television, American newspapers have to______.A. give little informationB. give serious newsC. give entertainment newsD. give national news27. Most daily newspapers attract moderate Americans by_______.A. printing articles by well-known journalists of different viewsB. supporting extremist groupsC. exposing political scandalsD. serving the country wellCPeople do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s impossible to get the battery charged at the beach. What’ s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got ord ers for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”28. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______.A. show great pity for people at the beachB. attract the readers’ int erest in the subjectC. provide some key facts about mobile phonesD. prove the importance of water in hot weather29. What can we learn about the Beachill?A. It is quite unusual in appearance.B. It will stop working in the water.C. It has some function of the refrigerator.D. It functions more effectively than ordinary ones.30. Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill’s _______.A. popularityB. convenienceC. good qualityD. low price31. The text is written to _______.A. tell people a new way to get a cold drinkB. ask people to stop using phones at the beachC. encourage people to travel around the worldD. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phoneDWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and moreproductive lives than those who had no t. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good a bout them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the foundations of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”32. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men33. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability34. W hat does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edgeC. Clear and definiteD. Sudden and rapid35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AA young couple decided to get married. As the big day drew n earer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of th em had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father f or advice. “Dad,” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have ver y smelly feet, so I’m afraid that she will not put up with them.”His father said, “All you have to do is to wash your feet as ofte n as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.” Well, it seemed a workable solution, the youn g man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “M y morning breath is so bad that I’m afraid my new husband wil l not want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I can’t l ive without him.” Her mother said, “In the morning, get straightout of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom an d brush your teeth. Don’t say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mother’s advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forget ting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every night and the wife ke pt her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month l ater. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that on e of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the be d for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife wake. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doin g?” The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed(吞) my sock!”1.What troubled the young man before he got married?A.His feet had an unpleasant smell.B.He was unprepared fo r the big day.C.He was too poor to marry the girl.D.His habit was too bad t o be known.2.The underlined word “bridegroom” in the first paragraph me ans .A.a man who has a few big troublesB.a man who hates to wash his feetC.a man who believes his familiesD.a man who will get m arried soon3.Why did the husband feel frightened?A.Because he forgot to wear the socks.B.Because one of his socks was missing.C.Because his wife might find the truth.D.Because it would dis appoint his father.4.The husband said the last sentence of the passage because .A.his wife was very hungry in the morningB.his wife often dreamed of eating thingsC.he wanted to have his wife buy new socksD.he found his wife’s breath very smellyBCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bo dies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions t hat use the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has b een linked closely with the emotions. People who show no hu man emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do cruel thin gs to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspapersays the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. B ut there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. F or example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the pos ition. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility . You are likely to get cold feet about being president when yo u understand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the col d shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not ke pt a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied ab out you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A coldfish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not gett ing something that everybody else got. A person might say th at everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the co ld. And it is not a pleasant place to be.5.The text is intended to tell us that .A.cold weather has a great effect on human bodiesB.many English expressions contain the word “cold”C.cold is a word all used to describe human emotionsD.the word cold has many different meanings in English6.Which of the following can best describe a person who is un willing to offer anything to others?A.Cold-blooded. B.To get cold feet. C.A cold shoulder. D.A c old fish.7.If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize, you can say Tom .A.is given the cold shoulderB.is punished by a cold fishC.is left out in the coldD.has got cold feetCWhat is the best way to catch someone who is telling a lie?For a long time, the traditional method of catching liars was to watch their body language. Many people—from parents to police officers depend on this method. But do es a person’s body tell us the truth?According to a new study, it is not the case. Researchers in th e UK recently found that talking seems to be the best way to s moke out a liar. Their study took place at an airport.The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security officers. Some of th e officers used conversation methods to question them, while other officers depend on their body language. The officers usi ng the talking method were 20 times more likely to catch the li arsLike many methods, this talking technique has a name. It is c alled Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE for short. Here are four ways of catching a liar.①Use open-ended questions.These are the opposite of “Yes”and“No”question. Open-ended questions force the person to continue the story of their lies until they are caught in their own web of lies.②Surprise them.Ask questions they may not think you are going to ask. Ask questions that are surprising or off-topic.This will make it harder for them to keep lying.③Look for small details that do not make sense.Ask them details in their stories and look for facts that seem t o disagree with each other. But do not let them know you kno w. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.④Watch for changes in confidence and speaking styles. Liars will often change their speaking styles when they are qu estioned. For example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.8.What is the best title of this passage?A.How to Catch a LiarB.Airport Security ImprovedE Method Never FailsD.Lie with Body Language9.Which of the following methods is most likely to help you cat ch a liar?A.Ask the person if he is telling the truth.B.Surprise the person by raising your voice.C.Focus on the person’s body language.D.Notice changes in the person’s confidence.10.Why should you ask open-ended questions in order to catch a liar?A.Because they are easy to answer.B.Because they are har der to lie about.C.Because they are off the topic.D.Because they change t heir talking style.11.Who does the word “them” refer to in the fourth paragraph ?A.Security officers.B.Real passengers.C.Study volunteers.D. English researchers.DAmericans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to pr otect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly cou ntries or countries at war. There, the travelers might not be sa fe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passpor t .This passport is for the safety of its traveling people. It is also a government’s pledge (保证) that the people will follow the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveler must show that he is an American citizen . An American cannot go abroa d without a passport. Only the close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. The traveler’s picture i s inside the passport. Children traveling with their parents are also in one parent’s passport.Thousands of people from the United States visit other countri es every year. An American traveler might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things. But the most importa nt thing that he carries in another country is his passport.12. Why does a traveler need a passport?A. It helps to protect the travelling people.B. It helps to know where he will go.C. He needs to take pictures often.D. He needs to carry m ore when he travels.13. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. European countriesB. Dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. Russia and China14. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe? .A. some countries don’t ask for passports.B. people should take care of their passports.C. money is more important than a passportD. children are never included in a passport15. We can know from the text that .A. Americans like to travelB. a traveler is not safe in mo st countriesC. children can’t travel abroadD. Americans abroad only need a passport七选五: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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

ABandhavgarh National park in India is best known for its amazing setting,as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India. In additionto tigers, there are also bears, deer, wolves, birds, etc.Location: In Madhya Pradesh state, almost 200 kilometers northeast ofJabalpur. The nearest village is Tala, which is the access point of thepark.Opening Hours and Safari(游猎)TimesSafaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, andmid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early inthe morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed fromJuly 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节).Bandhavgarh ZonesBandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala(the park’s best zone,with the most tigers), Magdhi(the second best zone to see tigers), andKhitauli(scenic and less visited, although tiger sightings do occur there;particularly good for birding).Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep SafarisBandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years. Entry fees have increased since October 2014. When going on a safari, separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire. Entry tickets are priced per vehicle(up to six people).For 2015-16, park entry tickets cost as follows: Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians, 4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians, 2,400rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)Jeep HireExpect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep, in addition to the entry cost. This can be done at the park entrance. All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours, but at a higher rate. It’s much less trouble though.

So I left home one morning carrying the chair that had a broken leg.I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, although slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth — so I thought that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?”He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.”“It has a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me.” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.”“You must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”“You’re right.” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’”“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall wesay for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.24.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.A. was rather impoliteB. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chairC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. was warmly welcomed 25.Why did the writer said “Would you like to buy a chair?” in the fifth shop?A. He wanted to make some money by selling the chair.B. He had a plan in mind about how to get his chair mended.C. He was sure that he won’t be able to have the chair repaired.D. He planned to get a new chair after selling the broken one. 26.The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. decided to help the writerD. saw the writer’s purpose 27.How much will the writer pay?A. £20B. £7C. £5D. £27CThe quality of our seafood has been in the news a lot lately. A new study has found that people who eat seafood are also eating plastic — 11,000 pieces of microplastic(微塑料) per year to be exact.Researchers at the University of Ghent in Belgium found that seafood eaters are consuming plastic at a concerning rate.“Per serving of mussels (贻贝), which contains about 300 grams ofmussel meat, you get 300 pieces of plastic inside your body,” researchers wrote. Researchers don’t yet know the implications of eating microplastic, but they worry that it could have negative consequences on our health. While we don’t know what microplastic does yet to humans, we do know what it does to sea animals. In earlier studies, scientists have found that when fish eat microplastics, it prevents their growth and changes their feeding patterns. In fact, fish will stop eating natural sources of nutrients, and only go for plastic.When you’re done using plastic, a small portion (部分) may be recycled. However, more than likely it’s in a landfill or making its way towards the ocean. Once rubbish hits the water, sea creatures may mistake it for food. This often leads to poisoning or death. If they get caught for human’s food, the plastic may very well make its way back to you — on your dinner plate.According to a study published in Science magazine, eight million tons of plastic go into our waterways every year. The problem is so serious that scientists say that by 2050 the weight of plastic in our oceans will outweigh fish. And just because it’s out of sight, it doesn’t mean it should be out of mind.There’s no immediate way to prevent microplastic from ending up in your body. However, you can help reduce the amount of plastic reaching rivers, lakes and oceans in the first place. You can make a difference with your choices every day. Even small changes will add up. While your dinner may contain microplastic, you can help prevent the future generations from having that same problem.28. What does the underlined word “implications” probably mean?A. Real functions.B. Potential benefits.C. Logicalreasons. D. Possible effects.29. What do we learn about microplastics in the oceans?A. Fish tend to be addicted to them.B. Fish are sick and tired of them.C. They make fish grow quickly.D. They don’t affect fish’s eating habits.30. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. You will pay for what you have done.B. Sea creatures eat different foods.C. You get what you pay for.D. Plastic can’t be digested(消化) by sea animals.31. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?A. To give us a final warning.B. To call on us for action.C. To offer us a brief summary.D. To send us a gentle reminder.DWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mentalhealth scores with their boyhoodactivity scores. Points were awarded for parttime jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the foundations of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work towards common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”32.What do we know about John?A.He enjoyed his career and marriage.B.He had few childhood playmates.C.He received little love from his family.D.He was envied by others in his childhood.33.Vaillant's words in Paragraph 2 serve as ________.A.a description of personal values and social valuesB.an analysis of how work was related to competenceC.an explanation why some boys grew into happy menD.an example for parents' expectations of their children34.What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A.Clear and definite. B.Having a thin edge(边缘).C.Quick to react. D.Sudden and rapid.35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Competent adults know more about love than work.B.Work and love are both important to a wonderful adult life.C.Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independence is the key to one's success.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
