AMany English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have.A US accent,perhaps imitates(模仿) a Hollywood star speaker?Or maybe you want to imitate the British accent of a BBC news reader?Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent.Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex(异性)!Let’s listen to what they have to say.StephenYang,17,fromLondon,UKA US accent is cute,especially when a girl speaks it.Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl-next-door,the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle(感觉) that is really fashionable.A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood.Her Texan twang(鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.To me,accents reflect the attitudes,characteristics(特征) and lifestyles of the people.JenniferSun,16,fromNewJersey,USFrom watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe,my friends and I have developed a soft spot(好感) for British men.Some are attracted to the qualities of English males,while others admire their sense of style.Everyone,however,agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent.For example,many American girls watch HarryPotter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.The English accent seems almost like art.1.

Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.There is no short cut to success, which is the first thing you should remember. For this reason you have to study hard first of all. Besides, here are some tips for you.Never fear or hate exams and be confident. Some students study well but still may be afraid of exams and due to this reason they won’t be able to get good marks. So leave all your fears behind and free your mind before starting your studies. You have to be confident and it is the most important thing for attaining victory.Prepare a good timetable. Prepare a timetable before starting your studies. This should include all subjects, but tough subjects can be given more time while easier ones less. And remember some time shall be spared for entertainment and also there should be enough break time between each subject.Select a proper atmosphere for studying. No need to explain this point. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So select a place where you feel comfortable and can concentrate. And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when you will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate more.Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. Make small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes.Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best impression. So your handwriting aff ects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.36．Which proverb can show the writer’s attitude towards our studies?A．No pains, no gains.B．Knowledge is power.C．It’s never too old to learn.D．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.37．Why do some students hate exams according to the passage?A．Because they think exams are meaningless.B．Because preparing for exams takes up most of their time.C．Because there are too many exams at school.D．Because they don’t have enough self-confidence.38．Why does the writer say “No need to explain this point” in Paragraph 5?A．Because it’s difficult to explain.B．Because it’s easy to understand.C．Because we need to study in silence.D．Because a proper atmosphere can be formed anywhere.“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on Google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of “stew”．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．39．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day40．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literatureB．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dishD．American changing cultures41．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew42．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different culturesTracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could notexplain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”．She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim（严酷的）since in most situations like this，“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”．Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency，“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a“great explanation”for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and h ad stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping，”she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said：“I got a second chance in life.”43．What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?A．She became unconscious.B．She took a nap.C．She had a bad headache.D．She suffered a heart attack.44．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer? a．suffering a heart attackb．stopping heart beating entirelyc．stopping breathingd．coming back to lifee．receiving an epiduralf．producing a babyA．a c f d b e B．f c a d b eC．e a c b f d D．e a b c f d45．Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's coming back to life?A．Shocked. B．Puzzled.C．Normal. D．Curious.四、信息匹配Finding a new and fun hobby can make you a happier person. Hobbies can be a great way to relieve stress and bring more joy into your life. Specifically when you find a new hobby. Hobbies are for everyone at any age. When you get older, you should not have fewer hobbies.46．You might be looking for a new hobby, but you're not sure what. A new hobby requires finding new interests, which means experimenting to find those interests.Try new things. To find a new hobby, it will require trying new things. New hobbies won't usually just find you. Don't put things off. You might think to yourself, "I don't like that." If you've never done it, or given it a chance, how can you know?47．Learn new things. You're never too young or old to learn more in life. If you take the time to learn new things, you'll develop new interests.

His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video - and Sam -became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have epected the response.“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s boo. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s eperience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.“I wrote the boo to teach people to be inder to people,” Sam says.Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sic children staying in hospitals around the country to mae their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.“A few ind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about ids in the hospital,” says Sam.Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organiation to provide a way for people to contribute money to realie Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit indness for ids.Since then, Sam has taen pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedE Ground. He ased the company for help.“FedE Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Trual, manager of public relations for FedE Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple “ids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sic,” he says.4. We can learn from the tet that Sam Allred _____.A. was a healthy boyB. was popular at an early ageC. sang the song with his sisterD. wored in his father’s company5. Opening Hearts is a boo that _____.A. is a best sellerB. is about Sam’s sisterC. was published when Sam was 13D. was written by Sam and his mother6. What is FedE Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?A. DoubtfulB. SurprisedC. ApprovingD. Uninterested7. Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?A. Optimistic and warm-heartedB. Honest and responsibleC. Unusual and confidentD. Friendly and braveCI start every summer with the best of intentions to attac one big boo from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of boos and settings have been purely accidental “Moby Dic” on a three-day cross-country train trip “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locs on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful I made it through one and a quarter volumes(册), then decided that I'd got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss. I'm not quite interested in Balac, say, or “Tristram Shandy”. There's always “War and Peace”, which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realie that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone's name and social ran. How appealing to simply fall bac on a favorite --- once more into “The waves” or “Justine”, which feels almost lie cheating too eciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.And Then there's Stendhal's “The Red and the Blac”, which happens to be the name of my favorite coctail(鸡尾酒) of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Bac Forty. It is easy to drin, and nocing bac three or four seems lie such a delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory “I tae whatever's fresh at the greenmaret and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the par, maing one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids...8. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has a cottage in New England.B. He shows talents for literature.C. He enjoys reading when traveling.D. He admires a lot of great writers.9. What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Get confusedB. Be carried awayC. Be interrupted D Mae no progress10. Why does the author say reading his favorite boos feels lie cheating?A. He finishes them quicly.B. He should read something serious.C. He barely understands them.D. He has read them many times before.11. What can be a suitable title for the tet?A. The Boos of SummerB. My Summer HolidaysC. To Read or Not to ReadD. It’s Never Too Late to ReadDGoogle’s new camera, called Clips, is a small, sm art device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to tae photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, lie when a child does something cute that may happen too quicly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognie facial epressions, which involved “training it to now what happiness loos lie”. The Google team also trained it to recognie what not to shoot —lie when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dar purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by maing it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlie a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeee the technology down into a device this sie. Going forward, we’re liely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence paced into our apps and gadgets.12. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It is equipped with tough glass.B. It enables easy Internet access.C. It allows of hands-free photography.D. It can be worn on your clothing.13. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?A. briefB. touchingC. unforgettableD. embarrassing14. What maes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The popularity of the Internet.B. The advance in technology.C. The rise of the smartphone industry.D. The reduction in the price of lens.15. What is the best title for the tet?A. A New Digital Camera from Google.B. New Devices in the Age of Apps.C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.第二节阅读填空（每小题2分, 共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, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

Does she know that I've been thinking about her for seven years? If only we could go back, and discover what ended our relationship．I have to speak with Beth．I see her sometimes, and find out school is "fine"．It's not the same．It never will be．Someone says that she's Liz now．What happened to Beth?I can't call her．Should I write? What if she doesn't answer me? How will I know what she's thinking?Yes, I'll write her a letter．These things are easier to express in writing．"高考资源网 Be-," no, "高考资源网 Li-," no, "高考资源网 Elizabeth," I begin．The words flow freely, as seven year old memories are reborn．I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind, and pray she will answer．I seal（密封） my thoughts in the perfect white envelope, and imagine Beth looking into her mailbox．Will she know why I'm writing? Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter．As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever, I wonder if I've made the right decision．Do I have the right to force myself into Beth's life again? Am I simply part of the past? I have taken the first step．Beth has control of the situation now．One day has passed．Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor?Two days are gone．I'm lost in thought and don't even hear the phone ring．"Hello?

Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam's story is a tale of two cities -- one during the day and a completely different one at night．During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River．You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi．But when the sun goes down, the party begins．In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke．Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam．And they're all within a short cab ride of each other．For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events．Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there．And there's the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall．But at night party-seekers come to the square．Hip hop or funk music is heard there. So if you come, be ready to dance．The clubs don't shut down until 4 am．And while you're there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city．Don't worry about getting lost．Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions．And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent．Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system．For about 10 dollars, you canuse the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise（巡游） the "Venice of the North"．The city has a historic past．One impressive place to visit is the Anne FrankHouse on Nine Streets．It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famousdiary during World War II．Visitors can view Anne's original diary and climb behindthe bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years．39．What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amsterdam?A．A carriage(马车)． B．A bicycle． C．A canal bus．D．A water 40．When getting lost, a visitor can ask natives for directions in _________ ．A．only Dutch B．Dutch or English C．onlyEnglish D．Spanish and English41．What can you learn about by visiting the Anne Frank House?A．The experience of a beautiful girl survivor．B．The glorious past of Amsterdam．C．The life of Jewish during World War Ⅱ．D．The suffering of the Dutch in wars．42．The passage is intended to（旨在）________．A．call up people’s memories of World War ⅡB．tell readers what A Tale of Two Cities is aboutC．instruct visitors what to do and see in HollandD．offer readers some information about AmsterdamCToday, at 28, the young German Violinist Anner-Sophie Mutter is at the top.“She gives radiance (光辉) to the music, ” wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London. Mutter was also one of the world’s youngest professors.Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a smalltown just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter,and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus,their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his youngerbrother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner-Sophiesaid she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her tostart on the piano. But Anner-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed(渴望) to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, becameAnner-Sophi’s tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she enteredthe six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anner-Sophie’s won first prize.In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anner-Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki.She taught Anner-Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played,not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” saidher father. “No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career(生涯) or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowedto give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned18 did she begin her professional career.43. It was_______when Anner-Sophie asked for a violin.A. surprisingB. greatC. usualD. possible44. Anner-Sophie’s career dates back to_______.A. the late 1960’sB. her family educationC. the late 1970’sD. her fifth birthday45. Which sentence shows Anner-sophie’s strong point as a violinist?A. She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.B. She has always had a mind of her own.C. She had two famous violin teachers.D. Violin seemed to her a much more interesting instrument.第Ⅱ卷（主观题共45分）五．单词拼写（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分）46. __________ (质量) is more important than quantity.47.

But she felt the story needed an improvement. “I didn’t like the thing about the shoe,” she says. “Why should the prince find her because of her feet?”In Alma’s version (版本), Cinderella is a composer. She creates a melody (旋律) that she sings to the prince before fleeing th e ball. “He remembers the beginning but not how it went on,” Alma says. The prince realizes that only Cinderella would know how the melody continues. He uses that knowledge to find her.Alma began writing the opera when she was 8.

B．Knowledge is power.C．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. D．A bold heart is half the battle.CHave you ever had the experience of talking to someone and you think they are lying? Well, you are not alone. We’ve all had that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying they tend not to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don’t want to take up very much space because they don’t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the trugh.Liars also use deflection(偏差). For example, if you ask a liar the question “Did you steal Fatima’s bag?” they may answer with something like “Fatima is my friend. Why would I do that?” In this situation the person is t elling the truth, but they are also not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about theirlie. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will spear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talking about before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, they may be lying.It’s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wants you to believe the lies being woven(编造); silence gives no feedback on whether or not you’ve bought the story. If you’re a good listener, you’ll already be avoiding interruptions, which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold(展开).Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying. They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might want to use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won’t need to very often. 8．According to the passage, a person could be lying if he or she ________. A．offers more information than necessaryB．appears to be shy or nervousC．changes the subject of the conversationD．speaks very fast and vaguely9．Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A．Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.B．We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.C．Liars are often expansive (扩张的)in hand and arm movements while talking. D．We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.10．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．who deceives (欺骗) us B．why people tell liesC．how to detect (发现) lies D．what to do with liars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。
