第二节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 41 problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very 42 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in 43 diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 44 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 45 that she does not want to 46 .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 47 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 48 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 49 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 50 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 51 that my sister might read it!

The biggest 52 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 53 about her in my diary, she would never know! 54 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 55 read her blog and get a “cry”.

There are also 56 to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 57 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 58 respond and tell her how much they 59 her. Blogs help people 60 in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

41. A. the same B. troublesome C. difficult D. daily

42. A. familiar B. special C. similar D. different

43. A. a personal B. an ordinary C. a common D. a traditional

44. A. attractive B. public C. convenient D. quick

45. A. thoughts B. puzzles C. mysteries D. secrets

46. A. tell B. share C. publish D. solve

47. A. instead of B. as well as C. in favor of D. in spite of

48. A. blog B. diary C. report D. web

49. A. Although B. Since C. When D. Because

50. A. only B. already C. still D. never

51. A. angry B. concerned C. glad D. worried

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

In 1943, during the Second World War the body of an English man, William Martin, was discovered off the Spanish coast. The papers he had been carrying were returned to England, where they were carefully examined. They had clearly been changed and that was exactly what the British had hoped would happen, for Martin was a trick designed to fool the Germans.

Martin did not exist. The body was that of a sailor who looked as though he had died when his boat sank, but in fact he had been ill and died. Leaving the boat to go down, his parents allowed the dead body to be put into the sea near Spain. It was hoped that the Germans would find it and read the fake(假的)papers he carried.

The papers said that the British would attack the island of Sardinia, when in fact they planned to attack the island of Sicily. The trick was successful. When the British landed on Sicily, most of the heavy German guns had been moved to defend(保卫) Sardinia.

61._______ put the papers on the dead man.

A. The British

B. German spies

C. Spanish soldiers

D. William Martin

62. When the Germans found William Martin they probably thought he _________.

A. was a British spy with important information about the war

B. was killed by the British soldiers

C. died of an illness

D. had the fake papers of the British Army

63. When the British found out the papers were changed they concluded _________.

A. Martin did exist

B. Martin was a German spy

C. the Germans had read the papers

D. they should attack Sardinia

64. Which of the order is right according to this passage? __________.

a. The Germans found the dead at sea.

b. The British decided to use the dead body to fool the Germans.

c. The British planned to attack Sicily.

d. The papers on Martin were brought to London to be examined.

e. The Germans found the fake papers on the dead body.

f. The Germans decided to defend Sardinia.

g. The Germans believed the papers.

A. c.b.a.e.g.f.d.

B.c.a.b.d.g.f.e.

C. a.c.b.g.f.e.d.

D.b.c.a.g.e.f.d.

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of lif e. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”

He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry.

He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.

When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.

I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him. “I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.

“Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “Thank you very much.”

When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.

Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in Northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.

“Oh, gosh! Long time.”

“Are you in school now?” I asked.

He nodded.

“That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”

He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”

65.What was the author’s first impression of the boy?

A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.

B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.

C. He seemed younger than his age.

D. He seemed good at bargaining.

66. The third time the author met him, the boy ______.

A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts

B. wanted to express his thanks

C. asked him for money for his schoolbooks

D. tried to take advantage of him

67. Why did the author give his money to the boy?

A. Because he had enough money to do that.

B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.

C. Because he held a higher position in the society.

D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.

68.Which of the following best describes the boy?

A. Brave and polite.

B. Kind and smart.

C. Honest and thankful.

D. Shy and nervous.

C

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can’t you be bothered to do?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的) that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.

About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.

Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently (明显地；显然) their pets too.”

“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the m ost fundamental tasks.”

And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and

are costing billions of pounds every year.

69. How many people questioned don’t play w ith their children?

A. 1280.

B. More than 333.

C. 654.

D. About 420.

70. The study leads us to believe that _____________.

A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life

B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they do n’t get enough exercise

C. British people are the laziest around the world

D. five sixths of the British children are healthy

71. How does the author convince the readers?

A. By presenting the results of a study.

B. By providing answers to questions.

C. By interviewing some experts.

D. By telling a story.

72. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A study of British people’s laziness.

B. A study of British people’s lifestyles.

C. The health service in the UK.

D. The obesity problem in the UK.

D

This may be music to your ears.

Researchers P. Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3,500 people a personality quiz. Then they asked them to name their favorite kind of music. “We found that the musical style people like are closely linked to their p ersonalities,” Gosling says.

RAP/HIP-HOP

Known for their quick speech, some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音节) a minute!

If you like rap/hip-hop, you are energetic and have a way with words. You put a fresh spin on things, whether it’s new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.

CLASSLCAL

In the 18th century, classical musicians were like rock stars. Beethoven and Mozart, for example, played in packed concert halls.

If you like classical, you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends. Creative and imaginative, you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking, writing or painting.

COUNTRY

Country music came from the folk songs of English, Scottish, and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.

If you like country, you express your opinions well, which makes you the ideal class president or team captain. Traditional and loyal, you enjoy spending time with your family.

POP

Pop music is designed to appeal to (吸引) almost everyone, and it does. Each year, the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars!

If you like pop, you are attractive to your friends. You can make big things happen, like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.

ROCK

In the 1950s, rock music created a brand-new culture. Teenagers, for the first time, had an identity separate from adults and children.

If you like rock, you are a risk-taker who never accepts no for an answer. You rise to any challenge, like doing very well in a big exam or landing the lead in the school play.

If these personality pro files don’t match you, that’s OK. These are just for fun.

73. What does the underlined part “You put a fresh spin on things” mean in the passage?

A. You can express your idea in a clever way that makes it seem better than it really is.

B. You have the abil ity to attract others’ attention.

A. in the 18th century, classical musicians were like pop stars

B. country music came from the old songs of the Native Americans

C. pop music is liked by the largest number of people in the world

D. everyone can find his personality in this passage

76. What’s the main idea of the passage?

C. Some basic information about music.

D. How to like music.

E

There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar（衣领）workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土话)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(车道), and explore new ways of living “green”.

Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan(about US $700).

The life of a green collar may go something like this: Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged.

Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief projects in China.

“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.

76. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Differences between white-and-blue collars and green collars.

B. The increasing awareness(意识) of environmental protection.

C. New trends of life in China’s big cities.

D. The lifestyle of green collars.

77. Green collars are living green because _________.

A. they have a large income to use

B. they refuse to live an unhealthy life

C. they spend a lot of money and time in the open air

D. they devote themselves to environmental protection

79. What’s Zuo Shiguang’s attitude towards green collars?

A. Appreciative.

B. Doubtful.

C. Negative(否定的).

D. Neutral(中立的).

80. The underlined part “the underprivileged” probably refers to those who are_________.

A. in heavy polluted areas

B. in faraway places

C. in a poor state of education

D. in unfavourable(不利的) conditions

In recent days, a discussion is being carried on about whether we should be grouped as either someone pursuing liberal arts or science in grade one.

Some of us prefer the division to be made as early as possible so that they can concentrate on either liberal arts or science courses. If so, they can reduce the pressure of study and choose the subjects they like best.

However, some others hold quite different opinions. They argue that they are limited in their knowledge of liberal arts or science if grouped earlier, which will affect improving their personal quality and mastering all-round knowledge. On the other hand, they will find it difficult to make a wise decision since they haven’t had a d eep/thorough understanding of each subject.

Personally, I hope one day the school system will be more flexible so that we’re free to take some courses as we like.
