In fact, it turns out that sometimesit’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think b ack t o t he t ime y ou t ook y our v ery f irst t aste o f b eer. F eeling s ick, w asn’tit? When my father gave me my first try of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (attraction) t hat y ou n eed y our w ill p ower t o r esist, t hey n ever, e ver s tartout that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot ofself-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to such experiences, can ever someday come to develop a “taste”for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, just in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a toolto be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we needto develop not only our self-control, but also the w isdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.49. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.50. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ______.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations51. In the last paragraph, the author stresses (强调) that ______.A. without self-control, no one can succeedB. bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC. applying self-control correctly is importantD. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior52. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Taste of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlCGrown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to firstgive babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprise in their facesand m ovements. A ll t he 16 t o 24-week-old b abies t ested w ere s urprised w hen t hey r eached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But doesa baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go tonever-never land (想像中的地方)?Experiments d one b y B ower s uggest t hat b abies d evelop a s ense o f o bject p ermanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting itto re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen,all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替换) a ball for thetrain when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seemto notice the switch (更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,”while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.53. The passage is mainly about ______.A. babies’ sense of sightB. effects of experiments o n babiesC. babies’ understanding of objectsD. different tests on babies’feelings54. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, “object______”.A. still existsB. keeps its shapeC. still stays solidD.is beyond reach55. What did Bower use in his experiments?A. A chair & a screenB. A screen & a trainC. A film & a trainD.A b o x&achair56. Which of the following statements is true?A. The babies didn’t have a sense of direction.B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objectsD. The babies couldn’t tell a ball from its optical illusion.D“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼)in t he c loset (衣橱)?”J essica a sked. “A s keleton i n t he c loset?”h er m other p aused thoughtfully. “We ll, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested forstealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He reallywouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why p ick o n m y f amily?”J essica’s f ather s aid w ith a nger. “Your f amily h istoryisn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great-great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that youare not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh,sorryfor my asking. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angrywith each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper, pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered t he f reshly p ressed c lothes i n h er a rms a nd w alked t o J essica’s c loset. J ustas she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank intoa faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.57. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.A. a family honorB. a family secretC. a family storyD. a family treasure58. What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.C.

AShenzhen is a shopping paradise for visitors. Following is a list of the most popular shopping areas in the city.◊ North Huaqiang AreaThe most prosperous shopping area in Shenzhen, it is home to dozens of market places for electronic products, home appliances, timepieces, clothing and jewelry.

The city now requires pet stores to sell dogs and cats from shelters and rescue groups only and bans the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats, and puppies under 8 weeks old, by pet stores in the city.San Francisco will not be the first US city to take such a measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and Austin all passed similar laws to help more rescued pets find homes.“Most animal lovers are not willing to keep their family pet in a dirty cage for a second — let alone a wee k, month or even years,’’ the San Francisco Board of Supervisors wrote. “In response, more than 200 cities and counties across the nation have banned the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores.”Each year, shelters across the US take in more than 7 million dogs and cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). About 2.6 million of those animals don’t get adopted and are put to sleep. “There are so many shelter animals that need loving homes,’’ says the lawmaker Katy Tang.Meanwhile, most dogs and cats seen in pet shop windows come from breeders who sell them to the stores. Many breeders take good care of their animals. But some breeders raise hundreds of animals at a time in dirty spaces. The animals often go without enough food or water, or proper medical treatment.Tang says San Francisco’s new law is meant to send a message to any breeder who treats animals cruelly.4. What do we know about the new law?A. It was passed last month in Los Angeles.B. Puppies under 8 weeks old can be sold by pet stores.C. It aimed to protect pets from shelters and rescue groups.D. Pet stores can only sell non-rescue dogs and cats.5. Which of the following cities was not mentioned to pass the law to help rescued pets?A. Chicago.B. Austin.C. San Francisco.D. Las Vegas.6. What does the underlined word “breeders” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Sellers.B. Keepers.C. Protectors.D. Hunters.7. What can we infer about dogs and cats in pet stores?A. Some of them lived in a poor condition before being sold to the pet stores.B. Most of them are from breeders who sell them to the pet stores.C. The sale of them is banned in most cities and counties across the nation.D. Most of them are adopted and put to sleep.CThe Chinese have a saying: “Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life.A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea so its importance is obvious.For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment effect.Tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea wares should match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.Tea is compared to personal character. Its fragrance is not aggressive; it is pleasant, low-keyed and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white porcelain cup, you will feel peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away. It is the symbol of elegance.Similarly, tea-drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Roughly, scented tea is popular in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is optimum for people in Fujian and Guangdong.Notably, Yum Cha (tea drinking) is very popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Though dim sum, the true highlight of Yum Cha, is what attracts gourmets, tea is an essential part of the meal.8. Why does the writer use the Chinese saying in the first paragraph?A. Prove tea is the last.B. Express his love for China.C. Explain the Chinese saying.D. Show the tea’s importance.9. What is the goal of Chinese culture?A. Develop traditional culture.B. Drink as much tea as possible.C. The harmonious unity of human and nature.D. The combination of the east and west culture.10. What tea does a person from Guangdong probably like drinking according to the passage?A. Green tea.B. Black tea.C. Scented tea.D. Oolong tea.11. Which of the followings can be the best title for the passage?A. Tea culture in ChinaB. How to drink teaC. Tea-drinking habits in ChinaD. Tea and characterDThe way in which people in Latin America spend their money changes from country to country. It obviously depends on the economy (经济). It’s not sensible to compare economies such as those of Argentina, Colombia or Mexico. As they are not the same, consumers spend their money in different ways. There are many articles online about consumption habits in Latin America that show statistics; however, many of them just refer to the crisis (危机) and how bad the economy is.In Argentina for example, due to the fact that there aren’t many ways to get a loan (贷款) and because of their cost, Argentineans prefer to buy cars. They invest their money in electricalappliances. They also spend a good part of their salaries on leisure: going out to dinner, to the movies or to the theater.In Colombia, “plata”, which is an informal word for money, is used to buy houses. It doesn’t matter if you already have one, you can always buy a second one and rent it. Cars are also a very attractive option to spend money on; however, the most important thing is a house. Some people also spend their money on education: bachelor’s degrees, master’s programs, doctorates and so on. Recently, some Colombian people have decided to spend their money on something else: surgery (手术). The most common ones are to improve their nose, to lose some weight and also to gain weight in specific areas.Mexican people spend their money on houses and education as well, and some on cars after that. Nonetheless, it’s also important to mention fun and going out for dinner.

What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing incommon: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first taste of beer. Feeling sick, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first try of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (attraction) that you need your will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to such experiences, can ever someday come to develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, just in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.49. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.50. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ______.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations51. In the last paragraph, the author stresses (强调) that ______.A. without self-control, no one can succeedB. bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC. applying self-control correctly is importantD. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior52. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Taste of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlCGrown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know thatif we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land (想像中的地方)?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch (更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.53. The passage is mainly about ______.A. babies’ sense of sightB. effects of experiments on babiesC. babies’ understanding of objectsD. different tests on babies’ feelings54. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, “object ______”.A. still existsB. keeps its shapeC. still stays solidD. is beyond reach55. What did Bower use in his experiments?A. A chair & a screenB. A screen & a trainC. A film & a trainD. A box &a chair56. Which of the following statements is true?A. The babies didn’t have a sense of direction.B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objectsD. The babies couldn’t tell a ball from its optical i llusion.D“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her motherpaused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great-great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prison ers.” “Gosh, sorry for my asking. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper, pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.57. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.A. a family honorB. a family secretC. a family storyD. a family treasure58. What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.59. Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was ______.A. knockedB. frightenedC. injuredD. surprised60. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A. She was very curious about it.B. She planned to keep it for fun.C. She needed it for her school task.D. She intended to scare her parents.61.

Human began farming around 12,000 years ago, and only in the past 50 years have scientists realized we’re not the only species to research into agriculture. A new study has revealed that a small Fijian ant species beat us to becoming the first farmers by almost three millions years.The ants have been observed carefully sowing seeds, fertilizing (施肥) them, and waiting for them to grow into plants which bear tasty fruit. What led to the formation of this relationship remains a mystery to scientists. But it puts the ants millions of years ahead of the first human societies to use farming techniques.The newly discovered relationship is unique to the animal kingdom. Researchers say they have already watched ants spread seeds, and ants feed plants, but they never had a case where they farm a plant they can’t live without. The ants rely on the plants for shelter and food, while the plants need the ants to sow and spread their seeds.The find puts the ants millions of years ahead of the first human societies to use farming techniques, who began using agriculture around 12,000 years ago.As the plants grow under the care of the ants, the plants to keep further growth. Once the plant is big enough, its hollow chambers provide shelter for the ants. It had previously been spotted that the ants like to live in these small chambers, but the Munich researchers have uncovered the true nature of the relationship that ants sow and take care of the plants to grow themselves a new home.The ants will eat the fruit of the plant and harvest their seeds for further projects.While many other examples of mutually (相互地) beneficial relationships between ants and plants exist, the discovery marks the only case in which both parties other for are totally dependent on each other survival.（1）What is mainly talked about in the passage?A How humans started farming at the very beginning.B Fijian ants also have the knowledge of farming.C Scientists watched ants develop fanning.D Fijian ants started fanning millions of years earlier than man.（2）What does the underlined word “care” in Parag raph 5 refer to?A Developing hollow chambers.B Eating the fruit of the plants.C Fertilizing the plants.D Harvest seeds for the future fanning.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A Ants’ real purpose is growing home for t hemselves.B Plants cannot grow well without ants’ care.C Humans learned fanning techniques from ants.D Plants provide shelter for ants in return for their help.（4）Where can you most probably read this passage?A In a science fiction book.B In an agriculture report.C In a scientificreport. D In a history textbook.二、完形填空3. If you have been to Harbin in winter, but didn’t have a _______ to see people do winter-swimming, I am sure you will feel i t’s a(n) _______.

I want to tell my parents where I’m going, but what if I ask and they say“no”?I’ll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.If you want permission, it’s best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a parent know where you’re going is always a good idea.You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” foran answer. But there’s a good chance your parents might be OK with you going. If you go but don’t tell them, you risk losing something more important — your parents’trust.Parents w ho f ind o ut t heir k ids d id s omething b ehind t heir b acks m ay b e l ess l ikely to give permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something —and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe they’d like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.4.

They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance,and mental health issues.The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earna college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills.Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge（放纵）drinking, and applying for public housing.“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills isone of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin S chubert, p rogram d irector a t t he R obert W ood J ohnson F oundation, w hich f unded the research, in a release.“From an early age, these skills can determine whethera child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted."

The text makes very good sense to ____________.A. teenagersB. educatorsC. doctorsD. general readersDWhat about your performance at today’s class？Are you active enough to focus on the lessons? Nowadays it is common to see students’ laziness and poor efficiency at class. And that is why schools across the world are trying to come up with solutionsto k eep s tudents a ctive. S ome a re r eplacing t raditional c lassroom c hairs w ith e xercise balls o r s tanding d esks. A t W ard E lementary S chool i n W inston, N orth C arolina s tudents have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.‘Read and R ide’i s the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up w iththe idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weatheris not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated anastonishing83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as ‘Read and Ride’. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like ‘Read and Ride,’experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates（刺激）brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. So don’t be surprised to findmore schools across the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.12. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?A. Kids excise balls in the classroom.B. Kids ride bikes when they are reading.C. Kids attend reading classes at the gym.D. Kids stand on the desks while reading.13. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?A. They exercise with high pressure.B. They become more active in sports.C. They feel reading fun and learn better.D. They become more independentin reading.14. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning to the underlined phrase inthe last paragraph?A. b e d ue t oB. b e o ccupied w ithC. be d evoted t oD. be a ddictedto15. What is the author's attitude towards this program?A. Neutral.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.II 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AShenzhen is a shopping paradise for visitors. Following is a list of the most popular shopping areas in the city.◇North Huaqiang AreaThe most prosperous shopping area in Shenzhen, it is home to dozens of market places for electronic products, home appliances, timepieces, clothing and jewelry. Some market places each house hundreds of shops, from flagship stores selling big brands to small boutiques where you can bargain.It is also a great place to dine, with plenty of restaurants offering various Chinese cuisines and foreign brands like Pizza Hut, Hagen Daas and AijiSen.◇Dongmen AreaOne of the oldest commercial centers in Shenzhen, this area highlights a walking street flanked by humming stores. It is a good place to buy clothes, handbags, fashion accessories, jewelry,handicrafts, toys and small electronic gadgets. ◇MixC Shopping MallIt is the c ity’s largest shopping mall and one of the most luxurious, selling clothes, cosmetics and fashion accessories. There is a large indoor ice skating rink, a movie theater and a super market selling many imported goods. You can also find quite a few foreign restaurant brands here, including Pizza Hut, Starbucks and a Japanese noodle house.◇ShekouSitting by a beautiful cove in western Nanshan District, this quiet place is frequented by many expatriates living in Shenzhen. There are stores selling antiques, collectibles, handicrafts and souvenirs, as well as bars and restaurants offering Western food.1.What can you do at North Huaqiang Area?A.Skate.B. See a film.C. Buy antiques.D. Eat Chinese food.2.According to the passage, where can you find a large indoor place to skate?A.North Huaqiang Area.B. Dongmen Area.C. MixC Shopping Mall.D. Shekou.3.Where does this passage probably come from?A.A travel magazine.B. A museum guide.C. A text book.D. A news report.BA law was passed last month in San Francisco, California to protect shelter pets. The city now requires pet stores to sell dogs and cats from shelters and rescue groups only and bans the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats, and puppies under 8 weeks old, by pet stores in the city.San Francisco will not be the first US city to take such a measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and Austin all passed similar laws to help more rescued pets find homes."Most animal lovers are not willing to keep their family pet in a dirty cage for a second —let alone a week, month or even years,'' the San Francisco Board of Supervisors wrote. "In response, more than 200 cities and counties across the nation have banned the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores."Each year, shelters across the US take in more than 7 million dogs and cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(ASPCA). About 2.6 million of those animals don't get adopted and are put to sleep. "There are so many shelter animals that need loving homes,'' says the lawmaker Katy Tang.Meanwhile, most dogs and cats seen in pet shop windows come from breeders who sell them to the stores. Many breeders take good care of their animals. But some breeders raise hundreds of animals at a time in dirty spaces. The animals often go without enough food or water, or proper medical treatment.Tang says San Francisco's new law is meant to send a message to any breeder who treats animals cruelly.4.What do we know about the new law?A.It was passed last month in Los Angeles.B.Puppies under 8 weeks old can be sold by pet stores.C.It aimed to protect pets from shelters and rescue groups.D.Pet stores can only sell non-rescue dogs and cats.5.Which of the following cities was not mentioned to pass the law to help rescued pets?A.Chicago.B. Austin.C. San Francisco.D. Las Vegas.6.What does the underlined word "breeders" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Sellers.B. Keepers.C. Protectors.D. Hunters.7.What can we infer about dogs and cats in pet stores?A.Some of them lived in a poor condition before being sold to the pet stores.B.Most of them are from breeders who sell them to the pet stores.C.The sale of them is banned in most cities and counties across the nation.D.Most of them are adopted and put to sleep.CThe Chinese have a saying: “Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life.A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea so its importance is obvious.For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment effect.Tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea wares should match surrounding elements such as breeze, bright moon, pines, bamboo, plums and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture: the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.Tea is compared to personal character. Its fragrance is not aggressive; it is pleasant, low-keyed and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white porcelain cup, you will feel peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away. It is the symbol of elegance.Similarly, tea-drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Roughly, scented tea is popular in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is optimum for people in Fujian and Guangdong.Notably, Yum Cha (tea drinking) is very popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Though dim sum, the true highlight of Y um Cha, is what attracts gourmets, tea is an essential part of the meal.8.Why does the writer use the Chinese saying in the first paragraph?A. Prove tea is the last.B.Express his love for China.C.Explain the Chinese saying.D.Show the tea’s importance.9.What is the goal of Chinese culture? A. Develop traditional culture.B.Drink as much tea as possible.C.The harmonious unity of human and nature.D.The combination of the east and west culture.10.What tea does a person from Guangdong probably like drinkingaccording to the passage?A. Green tea.B. Black tea.C. Scented tea.D. Oolong tea.11.Which of the followings can be the best title for the passage?A.Tea culture in ChinaB.How to drink teaC.Tea-drinking habits in ChinaD.Tea and characterDThe way in which people in Latin America spend their money changes from country to country. It obviously depends on the economy（经济）. It’s not sensible to compare economies such as those of Argentina, Colombia or Mexico. As they are not the same, consumers spend theirmoney in different ways. There are many articles online about consumption habits in Latin America that show statistics; however, many of them just refer to the crisis（危机）and how bad the economy is.In Argentina for example, due to the fact that there aren’t many ways to get a loan（贷款）and because of their cost, Argentineans prefer to buy cars. They invest their money in electrical appliances. They also spend a good part of their salaries on leisure: going out to dinner, to the movies or to the theater.In Colombia, “plata”, which is an informal word for money, is used to buy houses. It doesn’t matter if you already have one, you can always buy a second one and rent it. Cars are also a very attractive option to spend money on; however, the most important thing is a house. Some people also spend their money on education: bachelor’s degrees, master’s programs, doctorates and so on. Recently, some Colombian people have decided to spend their money on something else: surgery（手术）. The most common ones are to improve their nose, to lose some weight and also to gain weight in specific areas.Mexican people spend their money on houses and education as well, and some on cars after that. Nonetheless, it’s also important to mention fun and going out for dinner. Some people say that they spend lots of money in restaurants.However, be aware that those are just some general consumption habits in Latin America; it doesn’t mean that people there only spend their money on those things.12.What is the purpose of the article?A.To show how the economy influences consumption habits.B.To explore consumption habits in Latin America.C.To present the cha nges in people’s consumption habits.D.To analyze why Latin American countries spend money in different ways.13.Why do the Argentineans prefer to buy cars ? A. Because cars show their socialstatus.B.Because they are inexpensive.C.Because houses are too expensive for them.D.Because it is convenient to travel by car in Argentina.14.What does the underlined phrase “doctorates” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.One of the highest degrees earned in a university.B.The money you pay for being taught.C.A teacher of the highest rank in a university department.D.The main subject that a student studies at college or university.15.What can be concluded from the article?A.Colombia is the most educated country in Latin America.B.Colombian people prefer to spend money on cars rather than on houses.C.Mexican people spend more time eating out than they spend eating at home.D.People in Mexico and Colombia attach a lot of importance to education.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。
