ARestaurants in the USASteve’s PizzaSo many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell youabout Steve’s. This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成份). New branches of Steve’s are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.Opening hours: 11am-3amCattleman’s SteakhouseThis place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.Opening hours: 5pm-10pmAbsolute Baking & CaféThe screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs--it’s made from scratch, as are the organic(有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake. Opening hours: 7am-2pmWalt’s WharfEverybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (thoughthey’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire-grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm36.The new branches of Steve’s Pizza are mainly intended forA. New YorkersB.touristsC.the localsD. foreigners37.Cattleman’s Steakhouse offers the wonderful _ as well as good food.A. wineB. viewC. discountD. service38.Which restaurant serves both breakfast and lunch?A. Steve’s Pizza.B. Walt’s Wharf.C. Absolute Baking & Café.D. Cattleman’s Steakhouse.BEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee. In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation ofChinese calligraphy( 书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result?It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?”we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,”she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.”says the teacher.39. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.40. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.41.According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students42.Where does this text probably come from?A. News report.B. A science report.C. An advertisement.D. Children’s literature.CA nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (水坑) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn’t possibly imagine how this had happened. It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out, especially Jack, he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, especially Martha and Jackie, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived.He prayed this prayer, “Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I’m dead meat!” He looked up from his prayer and here came t he teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered. As the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water. Susie lost her balance in front of the teacher and dumped (倒) the bowl of water in the boy’s lap. The boy pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to himself, “Thank you, Lord!”Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule (嘲笑), the boy was the object of sympathy (同情). The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. Martha even gave him her own candy. The sympathy was wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been turned tosomeone else—Susie. She tried to help, but they told her to get out.When school was over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Susie whispered back, “I wet my trousers once, t oo!”43. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means _______.A. the boys would never play with himB. the boys would treat him as usualC. he would hardly hear any praise from the boysD. he would be laughed at by the boys endlessly44. After Susie dumped water in his lap, the boy was in a state of _______.A. disappointmentB. reliefC. anxietyD. anger45. What did the other kids do after the incident?A. They offered him dry clothes.B. They laughed at the boy rudely.C. They helped the boy do the cleaning.D. They urged the boy to get out angrily.46. Why did Susie dump water in the boy’s lap?A. The boy asked her to do so.B. She just did it by accident.C. The teacher told her to do so.D. She knew the boy’s trouble.47. Besides Susie, _______ also knows what had really happened to the boy.A. MarthaB. JackC. the teacherD. the boysDMany people know that rubbish is a big problem on the Earth. What many people don’t know is that rubbish is becoming a problem in outer space too. Years of space exploration (探索) have left tons of “space junk”（太空垃圾）around the planet.According to the reports of BBC, there are more than 22,000 piecesof rubbish in space around the Earth. And these are just the objects that are easy to see. There may be millions of smaller pieces of rubbish that we can’t see.The pieces of space junk move around the planet at very high speeds. They move so fast that even a very small piece can become dangerous. If they crashed (碰撞) into each other, it could cause explosions that might even hurt people on the Earth. If the tiniest piece of rubbish crashed into a space shuttle (航天飞机)，it could blow open a hole as big as an elephant.To help solve this problem, countries around the world have agreedto limit the time their space tools stay in space to 25 years. Eachtool must fall safely into the Earth’s atmosphere, or upper parts of the sky. There, it will burn up, and it won’t crash near the Earth.48. What is becoming a problem in outer space?A. Unseen things.B. Many big holes.C. Too much space junk.D. A lot of explosions.49. Why can space junk be dangerous?A. It may kill elephants.B. It causes air pollution.C. It moves faster than space shuttles.D. It may cause explosions and hurt people.50. What have the countries agreed to do with their space tools?A. Burn them on the Earth.B. Limit their time in space.C. Let them crash in the sky.D. Make them move slowly.第二节七选五(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。
