It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English m eet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this

English weather-speak.

Bill Bryson, for ezample, concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that”To an outsider,the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.

Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says,because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.”The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.

Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank”fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.

40.The author mentions Dr.Johnson’s comment to show that________.

A.most commentators agree with Dr.Johnson

B.Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observation

C.the comment was accurate two hundred years ago

D.English conversations usually start with the weather

41.What doe s the underlined word”obsession” most probably refer to?

A.A social trend.

B.An emotional state.

C.A historical concept.

D.An unknown phenomenon.

42.According to the passage,Jeremy Paxman believes that________.

A.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather

B.there is nothing special about the English weather

C.the English weather attracts people to the British Isles

D.English people talk about the weather for its unccrtainty

43.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.

B.To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.

C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.

D.To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

C

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.

Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening we ll is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance,

the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.

Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far

more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.

44.

The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.

A. preparing a topic list first

B. focusing on one’s own mind

C. directing the talk to the desired results

D. experiencing the speaker’s inside world

45. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?

A. How to listen well.

B. What to listen to.

C. Benefits of listening.

D. Problems in listening

46. According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.

A. listen actively

B. listen purposefully

C. set aside their prejudices

D. open up their inner mind

47. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.

A. they were taken good care of.

B. they knew they were truly listened to.

C. they had partners to talk to.

D. they knew the roots of problems.

D

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked - remotely - to prevent Internet searches , and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?

In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid - that students haven’t

just searched the Internet to get the right answers.

Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses." Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.

Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.

Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.

48. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?

A．To correct her typing mistakes.

B．To find her secrets in the room.

C．To prevent her from slowing down.

D．To keep her from dishonest behaviors.

49. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______. A．advanced technique B．sharpening tool

C．effective rule D．dividing line

50. For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if _____.

A．they can attract potential students B．they can defeat academic cheating

C．they offer students online help D．they offer many online courses

第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2 分。共10 分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Urbanization

Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago 51_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.

Britain was only the beginning. 52_ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and

where they live.

In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 53 .

Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.

_54 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the

ability to move this surplus from farm to city.

A.

That kept cities very small.

B. The rest live in small towns.

C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.

D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.

E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.

F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.

G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

My parents and I went to the park on last Sunday. There were lots of visitors stood in front of the ticket window. We waited a long time and buy three tickets. In the Tiger Mountain of the park, I was too eager to see the fierce frightened animals that I quickened my steps through the crowd. Unfortunate, I got separated from my parents.

第二节

[文章大意] 这是一篇记叙文。文章记述了乔在开车回家的时候，看到一位老太太的车搁浅在路边，乔帮助她换了轮胎，当那个老太太给他钱的时候，他不求回报，要求她也去帮助那些需要帮助的人。老太太在餐馆吃饭时，没有要找回的零钱，实际上是帮助了怀孕8个月的女服务员，她留下纸条，也让孕妇把爱心之链传递下去。

16．B考查名词辨析。语境为：前面说那位老太太的车搁浅在路边，从下文乔给老太太换轮胎(She had a flat tire. Joe crawled under the car and changed the tire)看出乔停下来帮忙，give sb a hand帮某人忙，为固定搭配。

17．D考查短语辨析。as you wish“如你所愿”；just in case“万一”；for one thing“一方面”；by the wa y“顺便说一下”。依题意可知答案。

18．A根据语境：Joe crawled under the car and changed the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. 看出，乔给老太太换轮胎，弄得很脏，手还受伤了，老太太十分感激他。couldn't thank him enough“再怎么感谢他也不过分”。

19．C考查动词辨析。语境为：老太太问欠他多少钱。是乔帮助了老太太，应该是老太太欠他的钱，不是索取，也不是提供。charge要价；provide提供；owe欠钱；offer主动提供。

20．A考查动词辨析。乔说：要是真的想把钱给他。pay sb back还给……钱。bring带来；put 放；hold控制，保留。

21．C语境为：下次你看见需要(in need of)帮忙的人，就帮助他。in honor of为纪念 (i)

favor of赞同；in possession of拥有。

22．B考查名词辨析。此处是说给那些需要帮助的人提供帮助(assistance)。guidance指导；acquaintance熟人，相识；consequence结果。

23．A语境为：沿着(down)公路行驶了几英里。off远离，离开；beside在……旁边；beyond 超过，那一边。

24．D语境题。从下文的The waitress看出，是餐馆(restaurant)而不是银行(bank)、食品杂货店(grocery)和加油站(gas station)。

27．D考查动词辨析。这个服务员在怀孕的情况下，在工作中还保持那份热情。taste“尝，体验”；measure“测量”；remain“保持”，是不及物动词，跟形容词作表语；maintain“保持”为及物动词，可跟名词作宾语。

28．A考查动词辨析。语境为：乔说的话触动(strike)着她。strike打动；move感动；obtain 获得；remind提醒。

29．B语境题。从下文的from a hundred-dollar bill看应该是找回零钱。tip小费；change 零钱；order命令；service服务。

30．C语境题。从下文的the lady stepped right out of the door看出，这里是表示转折的关系。语境为：在服务员找零钱的时候，老太太已经走出了门。moreover而且；otherwise 否则；however然而；eventually最终。

31．D考查动词辨析。这里说的是纸条上的内容，所以选saying，意思是：“写着”。32．C语境为：这就是你能做的。在句中what引导表语从句，在从句中作do的宾语。33．B考查动词辨析。语境为：别让这爱心之链在你这里结束(end )了。combine联合；disagree不同意；deal处理。

Boys_and_girls，

Our_great_motherland_has_seen_2012_London_Olympic_Games,_and_we_admire_all_the_ Olympic_Champions_very_much.

All the Olympic Champions have much in common. They go all out to be excellent—swifter, higher, and stronger. They show respect for everyone. Besides, faced with one failure after another, they never give up.
