A
Serena has a busy job as Educational Consultant for the new and exciting London tutors site, Tutorfair. So incredibly busy, in fact, that she never seems to take a lunch hour or even brief coffee break, nor finish work before about seven.
She then frequently does another job in the evenings and weekends, working as a Tutor herself. Good for her day job, because she keeps in touch with the challenges her colleagues are managing. Essential for the finances, if she and Christian are ever to buy a home.
They also have a life. They go to Bible Study on Thursday evenings and church on Sundays, and quite often out to parties, receptions, the theatre or dinner with friends on the other nights. They live in London for goodness’ sake.
She also has a garden she is putting work into, and another new project which, I’ve just realised, deserves a posting all of its own.
Not surprisingly, if Serena and I need a few minutes to talk about something absolutely crucial it can be days before we can find a window in her schedule, and then we frequently get interrupted and have to have several goes. (My schedule, by contrast, is all window: being a writer I do nothing all day except stare out of the window sharpening pencils. As I’m not very good at multi-tasking, I don’t sharpen the pencils very well.)
If Serena started sending me daily text updates and offering me lifts around the place ?nnot to mention finding time to watch soaps of an evening ?oI would think she’d gone stark raving bonkers.
21. What do you think of Serena?
A. She was occupied with her work.
B. She was too busy to enjoy herself.
C. She did part-time job all day long.
D. She was free to meet with the writer.
22. What does the underlined word＂window＂mean?
A. An opening on the wall.
B. A program in the computer.
C. A chance in the schedule.
D. A place in the shop.
23. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A. Serena would feel sorry.
B. Serena would lose her temper.
C. Serena would manage it well.
D. Serena would help the writer willingly.
B
Below is a selection about interesting hotels.
Tayka Hotel de Sal
Where: Tahua, Bolivia
How much: About $ 95 a night
Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt ― including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake which is the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.
Green Magic Nature Resort
Where: Vythiri, India
How much: About $ 240 a night
Why it’s cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮) — operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window, there is no glass! You watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(树冠). Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast — the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn ＂elevator＂.
Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
Where: Cottonwood, Idaho
How much: $ 92 a night
Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.
Gamirasu Cave Hotel
Where: Ayvali, Turkey
How much: Between $ 130 and $ 450 a night
Why it’s cool: Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more modern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool in summer. (Don’t worry ?Wthere is heat in winter.)
24. What do we know about Tayka Hotel de Sal?
A. It is located on a prehistoric lake.
B. It should be protected against the rain.

Many areas of cropland in Bangladesh are becoming unfit for farming. The land is becoming salty. It is a big problem for the small country which has more than 155 million people because growing crops is the most common way Bangladeshis support themselves.
Farmers in the country are learning to grow vegetables in so-called ＂vertical gardens＂. The soil in these gardens is better because heavy rains have removed much of the salt. Shobitha Debna, a 35-year-old farmer in the village Chandipur, is able to grow hundreds of kilograms of vegetables each season in her small garden.
This kind of farming is new in Chandipur. But it may spread across the country.
Most of Bangladesh is at or below sea level. Rising sea waters linked to climate change has severely affected the country. High water from storms in coastal areas also adds salt to soil. High salt content makes crops less productive. The salty sea water flows into rivers, which then flood Chandipur and other villages. Vegetable crops fail. For three years now, hundreds of villagers have grown crops in vertical gardens.
From July to October, about l. 5 meters of rain falls in Bangladesh. The seasonal rains remove salt from the soil. At the end of the rainy season, villagers collect the cleaned soil and place it in large containers. They use that soil to grow vegetables.
World Fish Center, a non-profit international group has trained about 200 villagers in southwestern Bangladesh to make vertical gardens. Over the next two years, the center will train about 5,000 people. A vertical garden is easy to make. Villagers fill containers with good soil and natural fertilizers. They put the containers on bricks so they are off the ground. They add pieces of the bricks to the soil to help water flow and drain.
Villagers also grow vegetables in containers made from large, thin pieces of plastic supported by bamboo. This is called ＂vertical tower＂ which can produce more than 100 kilograms of vegetables each.
28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The heavy rain makes the soil salty.
B. The salty water from the sea makes the soil salty.
C. Villagers uses bricks to contain good soil.
D. World Fish Center has already trained 200 villagers to make vertical gardens.
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Living conditions in Bangladesh are not easy.
B. Villagers put containers on bricks to make them off the ground.
C. Villagers are trying to produce vegetables that can grow in salty soil.
D. People in the village Chandipur live a happier life than people in other parts of Bangladesh.
30. What do the villagers need to make a vertical garden?
a. sea water
b. containers
c. good soil
d. bricks
e. bamboo
f. plastic
A. a, b, d
B. a, d, e
C. b, c, d
D. b, e, f
31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Poor country, rich people
B.A non-profit group’s help
C. Salty soil, Creative method
D. Life in Bangladesh

Do you keep a diary or a journal? Do you remember any entries that stand out?
On February 3, 1880, Theodore Roosevelt wrote in his diary, ＂... I drove over in my sleigh to Chestnut Hill, the horse plunging to his belly in the great drifts, and the wind cutting my face like a knife. My sweet life was just as lovable and pretty as ever; it seems hardly possible that I can kiss her and hold her in my arms.＂
Who was Roosevelt’s ＂sweet life?＂
Roosevelt’s ＂sweet life＂ was Alice Hathaway Lee, whom he married 10 months after his February 3 diary entry. Sadly, Alice Hathaway died four years later, after giving birth to the couple’s first child in 1884. Only a few hours earlier, Roosevelt’s mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt had died in the same house.
After the double funeral and the christening(洗礼 of his new baby daughter, Alice, on February 17, 1884, Roosevelt wrote, ＂For joy or for sorrow my life has now been lived out.＂
After his wife’s death, Roosevelt consoled himself by writing, hunting, fishing, and working on his ranch in the Dakota Territory.
Two years later, he married his childhood friend, Edith Kermit Carow. The Roosevelts had a close and happy family life and little Alice soon became the eldest sister of four boys and a girl. When Roosevelt became president of the United States, the White House became a playground for his six children and a collection of pets, including several dogs, a pony, and a flying squirrel.
Roosevelt continued to record his life, not only in his diaries, but also in his letters. Have you started to record your own personal history?
32.Why do you think Theodore Roosevelt wrote his February 3 diary?
A. Because he lost his sweet life.
B. Because he wanted to show his love to his bride.
C. Because his mother died.
D. Because he wanted to record his marriage life.
33.Where should the sentence ＂Yet, Theodore Roosevelt’s life had only just begun.＂be placed?
A. Between aragraph 2 and Paragraph 3.
B. Between Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5.
C. Between Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6.
D. Between Paragraph 7 and Paragraph 8.
34.What does the underlined word＂consoled＂mean in Para 6?
A. cursed
B. calmed
C. changed
D. comforted
35.What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the passage?
A. To convince us to make a note of our own history.
B. To show us the effect of Theodore Roosevelt.
C. To teach us how to write a diary.
D. To tell us the love story of Theodore Roosevelt.
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。
They Just Can’t Help It
My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems.
36
For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.
You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case.
A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mechanical mobile.
37
It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people’s feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions.
38
People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines.
Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains as men. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men.
39
Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.
Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses.
40
It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.
A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.
B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.
C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.
D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.
E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.
F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.
G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.
