M: We planned to go to the beach after class. Want to come?
W: I'd love to. But Professor Jones wants to speak to me.
Text 2
W: Aren't you cold? Why aren't you wearing a jacket?
M: I slept late this morning, so I ran out of the house without listening to the weather report.
Text 3
W: Have you had a busy day at the office?
M: Yes, sorry I'm late. I didn't catch the bus so Peter offered me a lift. But
the highway was closed because of an accident.
Text 4
M: Look, Sandra, I got this really nice postcard from my aunt.
W: Oh, what a pretty village! Is it in the mountains?
M: Yes. But you can't see them in the picture.
W: Perhaps they're behind those tall trees.
Text 5
M: Excuse me, I'm looking for the bar, please.
W: It's inside the restaurant next to the performance stage. Turn left out of the lift, and the bar is just there, on your right.
Text 6
M: Is this desk available? I need to find some work space.
W: Let me think. That's Terry's spot but I think he's working at home today.
M: That's where Terry sits? Then I can't work there. I just saw him in the parking lot.
W: Oh, that's right. Terry's working at home on Monday and Wednesday this week—his schedule's always changing and I can never keep track of it. But
why don't you try over where Gordon sits? There's an extra desk over there.
Text 7
W: Peter, you're learning to drive, aren't you? Do you go to the AA Driving School?
M: Actually it's called the ABC Driving School.
W: Is it expensive?
M: I've had ten lessons already and each one is 14 pounds.
W: I see. And is the teacher's car new?
M: Yes, and it's not a big car so parking is easy.
W: When are you going to take your driving test?
M: I failed it last week.
W: Did you hit something or...
M: The traffic lights were red but I didn't see them and I couldn't stop in time.
W: Never mind. You can take the test again. Tell me about your teacher. Is he friendly?
M: He's OK. He's quite young and interesting to talk to.
Text 8
W: Chris,
remember,
at 11:00 this morning you have to call your grandparents. And at 12:00, can you take Fiona to the swimming pool in my car? She's meeting a friend there.
M: OK. I wanted to watch some TV but it can wait.
W: Can you get some stamps too? The post office closes at 1:00, but you'll be there at 12:30 if you go straight from the pool.
M: OK. Anything else?
W: There are some library books to return, but I'll do that on Monday. Can you wash the car? If you do that at the garage at 1:00, you'll be back here at lunchtime.
M: All right. So I'll see you at 1:30 and we'll eat then. At 2:00 there's a football match—it's a really important game. After that, can I use the car to visit some friends?
W: Yes, OK.
Text 9
M: So how were your schooldays when you were a child, Joan?
W: Well, from seven to twelve I went to a school in Belgium.
M: In Belgium? How come?
W: It was my father's idea. One of his friends was sending his daughter, and
my father wanted to impress his friend so he decided to send me, too.
M: Just to impress a friend? It's hard to believe. So what was it like?
W: We had to get up early and go to church before class. And at mealtimes
we just had to sit silently with our hands folded. And I wasn't allowed to
speak English at all. I had to learn French but nobody taught me. I just
had to sit in the lessons and try to understand.
M: It's awful for a child of seven!
W: And they were terribly strict about manners! I suppose that was one good thing. I had the most beautiful manners when I left.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A fellow speaker from Californ ia named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it's beautiful!”
At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?
Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients(客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri's handling of
their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
Then, then fourth honor of honors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn't even given them a gift!
文章大意:本文通过讲述美国女士Geri在日本的尴尬遭遇,介绍了一些日本的礼仪 。比如在日本,名片被看做是最重要的交流工具,当别人递给你名片时必须双手接过,而且要等别人把你的名片收好后,你才可以小心恭敬的把别人的名片收起来。
21.In the four Japanese gentlemen's eyes, Geri took their cards ________.
A.excitedly B.embarrassingly
C.politely
D.disrespectfully
答案:D 细节理解题。根据The second mistake was Geri's handling of their business cards rudely.可知他们认为Geri对待他们的名片不恭敬,不尊重,所以答案选D。
22.Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?
A.Because they couldn't bear Geri's behavior any longer.
B.Because they had finished the task.
C.Because Geri had something more important to do.
D.Because Geri felt embarrassed.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段和第五段的讲述可知在这些男士看来Geri的做法极为不礼貌,已经无法忍受,所以离开了,故答案选A。
23.What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.ignorance
B.sadness
C.mistake
D.carelessness
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据What did she do wrong?和下文the second mistake以及对Geri行为的分析可知这些都是列举她的错误所在,所以gaffe意思应该是“错误”,故答案选C。
24.What lesson can we draw from this story?
A.Honesty is the best policy.
B.Think twice before you take any action.
C.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D.Don't claim to know what you don't know.
答案:C 推理判断题。A.诚实才是上策;B.三思而后行;C.入乡随俗;D.不要不懂装懂。根据Geri的做法可知因为她不了解当地的习俗而犯下了这样的错误,所以答案选C。
B
Life is to be enjoyed. There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:
YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!
YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look
younger and more attractive. In contrast, and unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries(动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.
YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.
YOUR TELOMERES(染色体端粒)
get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes(染色体) that control
how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.
Besides, one of the
most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a threepoint scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normalappearing telomeres.
In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.
文章大意:最新研究表明适当的锻炼和正确的饮食和愉悦的心情能够带来很多好处。比如一个人的大脑会有更多的血液流过,带来更多的氧气,这样人就会思维活跃,精力充沛;此外,面部也会减少皱纹,看上去更年轻漂亮,更不恰当的饮食,不良情绪和吸烟会加速一个人的衰老和死亡。
25.Which of the following are good for lengthening one's life, according to the passage?
①eat healthy food
②drink plenty of water
③take exercise
④get up early
⑤go to sleep early
⑥release one's stress
A.
B.
C.
D.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that...可知A选项正确。
26.The underlined words “your skin glows” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________.
A.your skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshine
B.your skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in it
C.your skin looks pink as you are healthy
D.your skin becomes soft as you exercise enough
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据下文You look younger and more attractive.可推测出如果一个人看上去年轻漂亮的话,皮肤应该是健康的颜色,由此可知C选项正确。
27.In the author's opinion, when you exercise and eat right, you will experience some changes EXCEPT ________.
A.brains becoming cleverer
B.faces having fewer wrinkles
C.arteries turning narrower
D.genes being changed
答案:C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries(动脉) to narrow down,可知是吸烟这种不健康的习惯会让动脉血管变窄,所以正确答案为C。
28.The best title for the passage would be________.
A.Eat better, live better
B.Feel better, live longer
C.Less stress, fewer diseases
D.Smoke more, age sooner
答案:B 主旨大意题。文章开头提出life is to be enjoyed,然后讲述健康的饮食,适当的锻炼和对压力的正确处理给人带来的好处,最后进行总结概括In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.由此可知文章的最佳标题为B。C
When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secretMa Ke.
Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US' first lady Michelle Obama and France's Carla BruniSarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady's wardrobe.
Even so, Ma prefers a lowkey approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention.
Ma's relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma's designs and had been wearing them for years.The two naturally became friends. Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don't share my philosophy won't buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I'm doing now.”
However, regardless of the brand, Peng's support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.
“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage,” says a western designer.
The first lady's doublebreasted coat and her black leather handbag aren't available at any of Exception's shops, though Exception's physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.
文章大意:中国第一夫人彭丽媛出访俄罗斯时,优雅得体的服装引起了世人的关注。此文介绍了服装的设计师马可和彭的相识过程,以及马可的设计理念,在马看来彭是一个关爱别人关爱环境的人。 她的爱心与设计风格相得益彰。
29.The passage mainly discusses ________.
A.the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan's dress, Ma Ke
B.the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designer
C.Peng Liyuan's clothes on her first state visit
D.the reactions to Peng Liyuan's first visit to Moscow
答案:A 主旨大意题。文章首段通过讲述第一夫人彭丽媛出访时的着装引起人们关注,从而引出服装设计师马可,The reporter released the secret-Ma Ke.然后文章围绕着彭丽媛和马克的相识、马克的设计风格等等展开叙述,由此可知文章主要讲述了马可,所以答案选A。
30.In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned “an egg and the hen” to show ________.
A.it is hard to explain “Which came first, the egg or the hen?”
B.paying such great attention to her was unnecessary
C.the outcome was more important than the process
D.her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress
答案:B 推理判断题。根据文中Ma prefers a lowkey approach.可知,她行事低调她由此判断划线句子“如果你吃到美味的鸡蛋为什么非要看下蛋的母鸡呢?”暗含的意思是媒体没有必要对她关注。故B选项正确。
31.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands.
B.Many citizens found Peng Liyuan's choice quite unexpected.
C.Black leather handbags like Peng's are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.
D.After Peng Liyuan's visit to Moscow Ma Ke's clothes became more popular.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据文中最后一段中The first lady's doublebreasted coat and her black leather handbag aren't available at any of Exception's shops,可知,C选项内容错误。
D
Do you know the openair art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably not. Not many
Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.
Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity(慈善机构) that helps homeless people get
back on their feet by becoming tour guides.
Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours” take_people_off_the_beaten_track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.
When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob” gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me,” he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again.
An innovative(创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.
According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising selfconfidence and developing selfpride.
Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to “have a bit of confidence”. He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at the time, he was “seen to be unable to read or write”, and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of “student” is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts(被遗弃者)
Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of playersmen and womenwho are, or have been, living in the streets.
It gives them a chance to become football heroes.
文章大意:本文介绍了伦敦在无家可归问题上的几种做法,这些做法的共同目的就是要树立起他们的自信,让他们重新获得生活的动力。其中一种方法就是让流浪街的人们当起了导游,他们不是带游客去名胜古迹,而是带领游客去了解他们所熟悉的大街大巷的历史和建筑。
32.The underlined part “take people off the beaten track” means “take people to ________.”
A.famous galleries
B.traditional sights
C.unusual places
D.public benches
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据Rather than show traditional London sights,可知这些人们要带游客去的不是那些著名景点,由此推断他们是另辟蹊径,带领人们去那些不同寻常的地方。故答案选C。
33.How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?
A.By training them to be guides.
B.By offering them different courses.
C.By keeping in contact with them.
D.By asking more students to help them.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. He says the status of“student” is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts.可知Steve被认为是不正常的孩子。故答案选A。
34.The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people ________.
A.become football stars
B.improve life skills
C.gain selfconfidence
D.find proper jobs
答案:C 细节理解题。根据文章末段Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them
popular.可知本段介绍一些慈善机构来帮助人们独立并且成功,由此推断The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago.是为了帮助无家可归的人获得自信,故答案选C。
35.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Confidence Back Now.
B.London Tour.
C.The Popular Homeless.
D.Football Heroes.
答案:A 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知本人主要叙述的是一些慈善机构是如何帮助无家可归的人重新独立并找回自信的,所以答案选A。

根据对话情景和内容,从对话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。
Family Values
To understand a nation, you should first get to know its minimum unitfamily. __36__
In the US, upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years),
children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. __37__ Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Young adults meet their future spouses (配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job. __38__
A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father's business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father's workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family.
__39__ It is not like we Chinese. Parents are rulers and masters. We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect. In America, children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents, like family financial situation, the relationship between mother and father, and even sex.
__40__ Therefore, it is contrary that, on one hand, Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family, but on the other hand, Americans think highly of family in their value system.
A.In the American family, children and parents are equal.
B.It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation.
C.When it comes to big problems, children do not have to always follow their parents' ways.
D.After children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the
family.
E.Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality, they don't believe in making sacrifice.
F.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence.
G.Many of them are expected to leave what could be life's most important decisionmarriagealmost entirely up to luck.

参考答案:
Dear Smith,
I'm writing to apply for
the job. I'm a seventeenyearold student of Senior High Two. As the summer vocation is drawing near. I hope
to get more work experience by working during the vocation. I think I'm qualified for the job because I once worked parttime in a restaurant for two months. And I can speak English fluently, having won several prizes in English contests. Besides, I always get along well with others and I believe I will enjoy working in your restaurant. I'm
sure I'm the suitable person for the position.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
