句意：现在，许多人都自称是“吃货”，这个词指的是喜欢吃东西且一吃到美味的东西就兴奋不已的人。
people与taste是主谓关系，即人们品尝食物；当两个动作有先后关系时才使用having done，这里的“品尝”和“满意、兴奋”是同时的，应该用现在分词表示主动，when tasting相当于when they taste，故选C。

One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray（烟灰缸）”written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups inAmerica.Now there even groups inEngland,Australia, andIndia! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years.

The family had John Smothers, his wife and their five-year-old daughter.One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. He never came back. The mother was very sad over her husband's disappearance, and it was nearly three months before she married again, and moved to San Antonio. The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. After a few years had rolled around, the little girl also married in time, and she also had a little girl of five years. She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive. “I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married). “No, no, dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.” So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy. After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse, and John Smith again wanted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.Just then, the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room. “Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy. She had recognized him before any of the others. The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful. She got well immediately. “I was a little late,” said John Smothers, “as I waited for a street car.”8. What happened after John Smothers disappeared?A. His daughter took some medicine.B. His wife left for San Antonio.C. Pansy immediately had a stomachache.D. John Smith went for medicine.9. What does the underlined word “dwelt” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Lived.B. Left.C. Returned.D. Married.10. What is the relationship between John Smothersand Pansy?A. Husband and wife.B. Father and daughter.C. Grandfather and granddaughter.D. Father and son.11. How could Pansy's mother feel when she saw John Smothers?A. Worried.B. Sad.C. Uninterested.D. Surprised.DThere are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules. As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Although he has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. "Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact.12. What does the author think of Jules?A. He ignored him in his place.B. He didn't treat him as only a robot.C. He was afraid of his being there.D. He mistook him for a real person.13. What is the purpose to build such a robot?A. To help humans of old ages.B. To carry out a scientific research.C. To take the place of human labour.D. To make an interaction with human.14. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1?A. Smiles.B. Shakes.C. Worries.D. Cries.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. Human And RobotB. Success Of Making A RobotC. Robot Will Replace ManD. Difference Between Man And Robot第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They calculated that they would need to raise more than one million dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 9 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 10 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually hers as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 11 the story of this caring young girl who had 12 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were formed and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 13 money to help make Hope’s dream come true.Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 14 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, “A Celebration of Hope” on January 16, 2011, the 15 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.

The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.Now, the city is asking theNevadastate legislature to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place inAmericato ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass inLas Vegasand it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $ 30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southernNevadaby 9% since 2019. And last year,Las Vegaswent a record 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much ofNevada's drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones inLas Vegasif their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city ofPhoenixinArizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They'll say that is the point of no return for them,”Campbellsaid. “For some people, it's a pool. For some people, it's grass.”4. Why doesLas Vegascity try to ban useless grass?A. To protect the local people.B. To beautify the city.C. To reduce water usage.D. To reduce waste.5. What program was carried out inLas Vegasin 2003?A. Allowing planting grass before new houses.B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.C. Praising those who signed on the program.D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.6. What is implied inCampbell's words in the last paragraph?A. Many residents won't follow the ban.B. Reaction to the reform will vary personally.C. Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.D. Water officials should take many factors into account.7. What is the best title for the text?s VegasPlans to Ban Useless GrassB. A Method Is Adopted to SaveLas VegasC. Choices between Beauty and PracticeD. Grass Is Important but Useless inLas VegasCWith graduation days being celebrated all over the country, a student who has to use a wheelchair honored his mother on his graduation day in a special way.

I couldn't have done it without them,” Alex said.“Alex made everyone in the building feel encouraged that day” Pickens County School District public information specialist John Eby said. “The school teachers knew he was going to get up to get his diploma, but the distance he walked was a surprise, even to them,” Eby said.“Some of life's most important tests aren’t given in a classroom; Alex tested himself and passed with flying color1 s,” Eby added.8.

During the visit,Hamiltonstarted talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,”Hamiltonrecalls. “I thought to myself, wow, that’s going to be difficult with a criminal background.”The conversation madeHamiltonconsider how to help those who came out from prison. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation,Hamiltoncreated Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses.At the time,Hamiltonwas building his own company, a software technology company for the banking industry. As his company grew, so didHamilton’s time devoted to giving lessons to prisoners.

每小题2分，满分40分）A“I take pity on the empress. Poor empress.”“Do you think Zhen Huan really loves the emperor?”From campuses to offices, from shopping malls to the streets, talks about Legend of Zhen Huan are everywhere.Unlike other long TV series, Legend of Zhen Huan, the 76-episode Qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. It has enjoyed widespread popularity on Chinese mainland over the past months.The story is seemingly the same as those dramas which describe the life of women in the imperial palace. It focuses on plots and intrigues within the Inner Palace during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign.The heroine, Zhen Huan , once a kind and innocent young lady, enters the emperor’s harem. Discovering that the palace is a cruel one, Zhen learns how to continue to live by herself.However, Legend of Zhen Huan seems to arouse more discussion than any otherdrama series. Why? Some experts say it’s because it’s a well-made series from inside out.Niu Hanting, deputy editor-in-chief of Art Panorama magazine, told Xinhua News Agency that the sets, props and costumes are elaborate. And the screenplay and dialogare well-written.“The series takes care of every detail a good period drama should have,” Niu said. “From that aspect, it’s no coincidence that Zhen Huan could be big.” More importantly, Niu added, the TV series strikes a chord among audiences in different ways. “For example, as a woman, Zhen is hurt by the man she once loved. And as a newcomer to the palace, she finds herself caught in the fierce infighting and shehas to survive,” Niu said. “Everyone may find themselves in Zhen’s position ata certain point.”Then it’s not hard to understand why the story of Zhen Huan is even seen asa survival guide for newcomers in the workplace.26. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that ___________________.A. people have pity on the empressB. Zhen Huan really loves the emperorC. Legend of Zhen Huan is very popularD. the TV series is shown everywhere27. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 most probably refer to?A. The imperial palace.B. The life of women.C.

Of the following, which can be used to take the place of the underlined phrases“strikes a chord” in Paragraph 7?A. arouses passion.B. stirs familiar emotionsC. enjoys popularityD. arouses the same interest30. From what Niu Hanting said we can see that Niu _________________.A. thinks Zhen has bad effects on newcomersB. makes little of Legend of Zhen HuanC. speaks highly of Legend of Zhen HuanD. wants newcomers to follow Zhen’s exampleB.If I had known the following things when I was in high school, my life would have been 100% easier back then and probably would have helped me greatly. I realized some of these things I was told but being young and ignorant I refused to listen.1. Your high school sweetheart will probably not be your spouse.When I was in school, I thought my boyfriend and I were the “one and only true love”. Honestly as most young people do, statistically only like 2% of people endup marrying their high school sweethearts and even if they do they probably won’tbe as happy as they were in high school. Being an adult is very stressful and yourrelationships become different.2. _______________________________________How many kids play sports per year? How many kids are good enough to get a scholarship by playing sports? How many of them even make it to the Olympics after college or university? The kids who actually stay at home and focus on getting good at computers or math are the ones who make the most in the adult world financially.3. It doesn’t matter what university you go to.I was convinced I was going to go to a great art school when I graduated and I was so stressed out about it that I ended up dropping out of school. In reality my life wasn’t over; I only got my GED a year ago but I am in a decent school now. In the real world when you go to apply somewhere all they care about is “do you have a degree or a certification”?4. Your friends probably won’t be your friends after you graduate.I really thought I was going to get an apartment with my friends and our kids were going to grow up together. The truth is, when people grow up they move, have kids, get married, and therefore change. You will change; you will not be the same person you were. High school is just a transitional period of your life. So don’t worry about who is saying what about you or who is making fun of whom.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To recall the experiences in high school.B. To warn high school students about love in high school.C. To give advice to high school students.D. To encourage high school students to focus on study.32. The writer once dropped out of a college because __________________.A. she decided to marry her sweetheartB. she was bearing too much pressureC. her family was going through financial problemsD. she was offered a good job before graduation33. Why do many sweethearts in high school get separated later?A. They aren’t able to go to the same university.B. Their parents won’t approve of their relationships.C.

Your teachers are not always right.B. You can’t make lifelong friends in high school.C. The unpopular kids are the ones who make the most money.D. Education in life actually starts after graduation.35. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A. The writer had never heard about the advice above in high school.B. In real world employers don’t care so much about which school you graduated from.C. Relationships in high school won't have great effect on your later life.D. It’s not easy to earn scholarships by playing sports for high schoolstudents.CUmbrella is a “difficult” novel. But if you enjoy challenges, just read on because Umbrella, as a Booker Prize winner, is one you can’t miss.The story itself is not difficult to follow. It concerns a woman named Audrey, a Londoner who grows up during World War I, works in a military factory, and then survives an epidemic spreading through Europe between 1915 and 1926. She is admitted to a mental hospital in 1922, and remains there, mind out of time, until 1971, when a doctor named Zach Busner awakens the sleeping beauty with a special drug. And decades later–on April 8, 2010, to be exact — Busner thinks back on all this as he visits his old hospital.The story also involves painful facts of how the mentally ill were mistreated, and the careers of Audrey’s two brothers, one of whombecomes a soldier in the Great War. Fans of World War I will not wantto miss the vivid descriptions of battlefields.What makes Will Self’s novel challenging is how he tells his story.It opens in the spring of 1971 but thereafter time travels back and forth between Audrey’s Edwardian childhood and 2010, jumping mid-sentencefrom one era to another with no reminders to guide the reader. It is a new style many modernists adopted, who thought that the old ways were not enough to show the great changes at the beginning of the 20th century.This story isn’t new: Oliver Sacks dealt with the same sleeping sickness and its treatment in Awakenings. What’s appealing about Umbrella is that Self combines form with content perfectly, using modernist techniques. The readers may feel confused about the switch of time; it’s Self’s wild style that offers other delights –richly detailed settings that bring mental hospitals alive and much more than that.Yes, “Umbrella” is a “difficult” novel, but it amply rewards the effort.36. The underlined phrase “mind out of time” in the second paragraph probably refers to .A. a way a person faces difficulties light-heartedlyB. a condition where a person is unconsciousC. a situation which makes someone embarrassedD. an occasion where a person doesn’t mind the time37. What troubles the readers most when they are reading Umbrella?A. The relations of the characters.B. The abstract language.C. The switch of time.D. The settings of battlefields.38. We can safely infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. Self displays a fast-changing world to readersB. Self created the new style in which he wrote his storyC. Self avoided describing the scene of the warD. Self’s style was followed by many other writers39. Who else wrote a similar story besides Self ?A. AudreyB. Zach BusnerC. Oliver SacksD. Audrey’s brother40. The novel Umbrella really attracts the readers because______.A. the potential Self has as a modernist writerB. the strange writing technique Self createdC. the new material Self chose for his storyD. the perfect combination of the form and contentDOfficials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world’s first territory totally powered by the sun. The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burden of depending on imported fossil fuels.Tokelau’s three main atolls(环状珊瑚岛), or islands, now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs. Tokelau was ever 100％dependent on diesel (柴油) for producing electricity, which burdened the country with heavy economic and environmental costs.The three atolls of Tokelau are about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and are administered by New Zealand.Each atoll received its own solar power grid (电网)system. New Zealand officials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar grids at around seven million dollars. The last of the grids has been completed.It is estimated that oil imports make up to 30％of national income in some parts of the Pacific. The move to solar power could save Tokelau about one million dollars a year. Tokelau will now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens.Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects. The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines. And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters.East Timor’s government has promised that no households in the capital, Dili, would be using firewood for cooking by 2015. It also says 50％of the country’s electricity will come from renewable sources by the end of the decade.New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says the country will hold a Pacific energy summit in March this year. He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau, Tonga, and the Cook Islands.41. The text is mainly about ______.A. Tokelau’s solar power projectB. South Pacific islands’ renewable energy projectC. Tokelau’s social programme to help its citizensD. the development of solar water heaters42. We can know Tokelau used to spend about ______ dollars on oil imports forproducing electricity every year.A. seven millionB. one millionC. three millionD. four million43. According to the text, _______ makes Tokelau develop renewable energy project.A. the country’s heavy economic and environmental burdenB. the country’s abundant solar and wind sourcesC. the country’s excellent location in the PacificD. New Zealand’s administration and strong support44. What can we learn from the text?A. Some houses in Tokelau still lack solar capacity.B. All the island nations in South Pacific will get all of their electricityfrom renewable sources by 2020.C. Tokelau doesn’t use imported diesel to produce electricity now.D. Not every atoll has its own solar power grid system in Tokelau.45. New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully’s attitude towards therenewable energy project can be described as _______.A. criticalB. objectiveC. pessimisticD. supportive第二节．信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）首先请阅读下列饭店和餐馆的简介：A.
