But there’s just so much going on, the theaters, restaurants, shops and museums. They make London and Paris like country towns. The only problem was the weather.M: What a shame!Text 8M: And onto this morning’s local traffic news. Driving conditions have been improved. Now the early morning fog has gone. Rain is forecast for tonight, but it would be fine during the day. Traffic police have warned drivers to expect delays coming into town in the afternoon because of repairs to Victoria Bridge. And lorries have been advised to go another way if possible.Text 9W: My husband and I have decided to buy a new house, and I made an appointment to see a bank manager. I’ve never met him before, and was a little nervous. I drove into to wn and was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I just started backing into the space when another car drove into it. I was very angry. I opened my window and shouted at the other driver. He ignored me and walked away. It took my twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I have parked the car, I rushed into the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment.I went to the manager’s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space.Text 10M: Hello?W: Dad, it’s me, Kirsty.M: Kirsty! How are you?W: I’m fine but still a little tired.M: I can imagine.

But when I was in university, there was a course on senses. The other senses seem to be more concrete somehow, but smell is so personal.I found it extremely interesting.M: Do you have any interesting information to give us about smells?W: Well, let’s see. Did you know that it’s harder to forget smells than to forget facts? There have been experiments where people could pick out a particular smell thirty days after smelling it for the first time.M: Really? So smells can bring back more memories than, say, music?W: That seems to be the case.M: That’s interesting. So what’s your favorite smell?W: Oh, I have lots of different ones.

Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things.

M: You have to get rid of it, you know.W：I know ,Ｉknow. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I…? M: Use my car? Yes, of course.W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you.M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight.W: OK! I’ll be around in about an hour. Thanks a lot!M: It’s all right. See you then!W: See you!Text 10W: OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers.

But during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City. Bikila was really strong as he began the marathon. But at the third of the way into the race he suddenly dropped out. He’d been suffering from a pain in his left leg a nd could run no more. Mamo Wolde, another Ethiopian runner saw Bikila drop out and immediately poured on the speed as if he was filling his fallen teammate's shoes. Wolde gave Ethiopia its third marathon victory. But the drama of this marathon did not end when Wolde crossed the finishing line. A little more than an hour later, word was passed to the remaining audience that the last runner of marathon was arriving. Into the stadium, came Akhwari of Tanzania, his leg was bloody and bandaged. Moving with pain at every step, he pressed on and finally got passed the finishing line. The crowd cheered as if this last runner had been the winner.4.M: Hey, Lucy.

What about with Claudia?W: Uh, you can call her Claudia, shake hands and why don’t you take her some flowers? 5.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfe ct system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.6.W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is.

To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams. Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy.To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.6、湖南卷(Text 1)M: How much do I need to pay?W: Let me see.

2008年高考英语试题(浙江卷)
秋天的况味秋天的黄昏，一人独坐在沙发上抽烟，看烟头白灰之下露出红光，微微透露出暖气，心头的情绪便跟着那蓝烟缭绕而上，一样的轻松，一样的自由。
不转眼缭烟变成缕缕的细丝，慢慢不见了，而那霎时，心上的情绪也跟着消沉于大千世界，所以也不讲那时的情绪，而只讲那时的情绪的况味。
待要再划一根洋火，再点起那已点过三四次的雪茄，却因白灰已积得太多，点不着，乃轻轻的一弹，烟灰静悄悄的落在铜炉上，其静寂如同我此时用毛笔写在中纸上一样，一点的声息也没有。
于是再点起来，一口一口的吞云吐露，香气扑鼻，宛如偎红倚翠温香在抱情调。
于是想到烟，想到这烟一股温煦的热气，想到室中缭绕暗淡的烟霞，想到秋天的意味这时才想起，向来诗文上秋的含义，并不是这样的，使人联想的是萧杀，是凄凉，是秋扇，是红叶，是荒林，是萋草。
然而秋确有另一意味，没有春天的阳气勃勃，也没有夏天的炎烈迫人、也不像冬天之全入于枯槁凋零。
我所爱的是秋林古气磅礴气象。
有人以老气横秋骂人，可见是不懂得秋林古色之滋味。
在四时中，我于秋是有偏爱的，所以不妨说说。
秋是代表成熟，对于春天之明媚娇艳，夏日之茂密浓深，都是过来人，不足为奇了，所以其色淡，叶多黄，有古色苍茏之慨，不单以葱翠争荣了。
这是我所谓秋的意味。
大概我所爱的不是晚秋，是初秋，那时暄气初消，月正圆，蟹正肥，桂花皎洁，也未陷入懔烈萧瑟气态，这是最值得赏乐的。
那时的温和，如我烟上的红灰，只是一股熏熟的温香罢了。
或如文人已排脱下笔惊人的格调，而渐趋纯熟炼达，宏毅坚实，其文读来有深长意味。
这就是庄子所谓“正得秋而万宝成”结实的意义。
在人生上最享乐的就是这一类的事。
比如酒以醇以老为佳。
烟也有和烈之辨。
雪茄之佳者，远胜于香烟，因其味较和。
倘是烧得得法，慢慢的吸完一支，看那红光炙发，有无穷的意味。
鸦片吾不知，然看见人在烟灯上烧，听那微微哗剥的声音，也觉得有一种诗意。
大概凡是古老，纯熟，熏黄，熟炼的事物，都使我得到同样的愉快。
如一只熏黑的陶锅在烘炉上用慢火炖猪肉时所发出的锅中徐吟的声调，是使我感到同观人烧大烟一样的兴趣。
2008年高考英语试题(浙江卷)
Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some restaurants are modifying the recipes(菜谱)of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while other are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditional and tastes.Tamlyn is in the second camp. "We select our food very particulary. We use US beef, New Zealand lamb and for our custards(牛奶蛋糊) we use Bird's Custard Powder," Tamlyn says. "Some restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different, and we stay true to that."Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also uses better ingredients as a means of improving dishes. "There are a lot of existing perceptions about British food and so we can't alter these too much. We're a traditional British restaurant so there are some staples(主菜) that will remain essentially unchanged."These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted meats. At Alfie's, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemen's club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance(原产地). "Britain has started to become really proud of the food it's producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted cheeses, high-quality meats."However, the British don't have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients."We can get a lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK," Tamlyn explains. "But there is also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples."The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpretation of "British cuisine", while still trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2002. Singaporean head chef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine depending on what is available in the local markets."We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn't perhaps associate as British, but are presented in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish."Although the ingredients may not strike diners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes across Britain.Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while maintaining the Brutishness of their cuisine.At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their meals. Small dishes, shared meals and "mixing it up" is not something commonly done in Britain, but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dished to the table and offer individual plates for each dinner. "That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve them up however they like," Hill says.This practice is also popular at The Pawn, although largely for rotisseries(烤肉馆), Tamlyn says. "Some tables will arrive on Sunday, order a whole chicken and a shoulder of lamb or a baby pig, and just stay for hours enjoying everything we bring out for them."Some British traditions are too sacred(神圣的) to mess with, however, Tomes says. "I'd never change a full English breakfast."1. What is British food generally known for?A) Its unique flavor. B) Its bad taste.C) Its special cooking methods D) Its organic ingredients.。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded 67,000 pounds for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their employer to accept legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is likely to start a flood of other worker’s claims; Mrs. Lancaster’s union alreadyhas 7,000 stress-related cases on its books.The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighborhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety, Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Oldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another," she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door. I would break down in tears. I was being in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank."In awarding compensation of 67,491 pounds, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster’s precious job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancasterwould be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be less capacity.After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me. I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted." The payout, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to review its staff and management procedures.46. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster was awarded 67,000 pounds for ______.[A] illness caused by her job[B] her successful and good luck[C] the courage she showed in court[D] the amount of work she did47. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster took legal action against the city council because ______.[A] it refused to award her for her job[B] she had to deal with rude members of the council[C] it was responsible for her problems[D] it denied her any clerical support48. The Lancaster case shows that employees have the right to get compensation if they ______.[A] are given work that they are unable to do[B] suffer mental injury caused by their work[C] are forced to do work that they don’t like[D] feel isolated, let down and extremely anxious49. It can be inferred that ______.[A] Mrs. Lancaster will find a better paid job in the future[B] the job of draughtswoman is very demanding[C] the court may hear more stress-related cases[D] the job of housing officer causes mental injuries50. If Birmingham City Gouncil plans to move an employee to a new job, it will definitely make sure that ______.[A] there is continuity between the two jobs[B] no complaints from the employee occur[C] the amount of work is reduced for the new job[D] the employee is prepared for any mentalproblemsText 2Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t, than what it is. And t hat’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted andrespected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning— in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.51. It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.[A] carry life learning though [B] tell the nature of life learning[C] learn without going to school [D] find a specially trained teacher52. According to the author, the schooling framework often ______.[A] produces slow students with poor memories[B] ignores some parts of the official curriculum[C] fails to provide enough knowledge about life[D] gives little care to the quality of teaching materials53. Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are ______.[A] clear about why to learn [B ] careful to make a time table[C] able to respect other people [D] cautious about any mistakes54. According to the author, life learning ______.[A] could prevent one from running risks[B] could be a road full of trials and errors[C] makes a kid independent of his parents[D] teaches a kid how to avoid being scorned55. Through life learning, children ______.[A] will grow without the assistance from parents[B] will learn to communicate with the real world[C] will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge[D] will be isolated from the negative side of societyText 3To find Kim Hyung Gyoon’s office in Samsung’s R&D complex, just follow the baskets of dirt clothes. No, Kim is not running the company laundry. As chief of Samsung’s Washing & C leaning Technology Group(WCTG), he’s the man behind a new washing machine that deposits tiny silver particles(small pieces of things) —about 1 / 10,000 the thickness of a human hair—onto clothes to make them germ-and-odor-free without the need of hot water. The device represents the first mass-produced application of this tape of nanotechnology —the science of very small structures—to home appliances. "In summer of 2002, I asked everyone in the office to take off their socks," says Kim. "took one sock from each person and placed it in a regular washing machine; the others were washed in a machine with the Ag+ Nano System. The next day, I asked everyone to check the odor of their socks after a day’s wear. One began produce a strong unpleasant smell, and the other was odorless."Kim says he came up with the idea five years ago while on a business trip to Japan, where he learned of a brand of socks that retained their freshness even aftermany days of unwashed wear and tear. Tiny sticks of sliver with germ-killing chemicals were woven into the fabric. When he got back to Seoul, Kim applied the principle to washing machines.According to the Korea Testing & Research Industry, Samsung’s device kills 99.9% of germs. Kim says garments stay germ-free for up to a month after being laundered.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Heather McCoyEntering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boating knowledge of the true path to happiness.Whether this wave of infomercials and books can actually make people happier is the question. Happiness cannot be found by adhering to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to manual, it’s something that every person must find in his or her own way.Gary RussellDoes happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.Experiences teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a like manner, one feels of being loweredwhen confronting a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.David NivenTrue happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary whereas happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. True happiness is realized by understanding one’s own SELF. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to eternal joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should isolate and remove the negatives.Joshua PartyHappiness is a state of mind. You can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations. In the end, it’s your decision.If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness. As far as I know, the Human Genome Project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome which is responsible for happiness.Laura JohnsonSo what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I loved to write, not because it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spending time with my close friends from home that like the real me just as much as the old me. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching bizarre movies. Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statements.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Heather McCoy62. Gary Russell63. David Niven64. Joshua Party65. Laura JohnsonStatements[A ] Happiness lies in persistent pursuit.[ B ] Happiness is in your own hand.[C ] Freedom is positively related to happiness.[D] Happiness is based on comparison.[E] There does not exist a guide to happiness.[F] Happiness is a balance between man and nature.[G] Happiness is all about doing what you want to.Section ⅣWritingDirections: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part AYour TV broke down only one week after it was bought.

We still expect your talk to last an hour. We hope that this does not cause you too many problems and we apologize for the change. The place of the talk is still the Science Building, but it is in the Lecture Hall B. I’m afraid the room in which you will stay in has also been changed. It’s now Room 208 in the Parkinson Building. You can pick up the room key from the information desk when you arrive. Thank you and look forward to seeing you at the meeting.参考答案：ACBAC BBACB CACBC ABABA。
