(A)I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, has gone through a difficult time. She，s got dementia (痴呆症) and she has been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice used to think her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very ______.Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church (教堂) that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church an they rushed over to greet her and sit beside her. The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.26. Which of the following might be the missing word for the blank in Paragraph 3?A. downB. awayC. upD. off27. When was Alice's daughter coming to visit her?A. Before Christmas.B. After Christmas.C. On Christmas Day.D. On Christmas Eve.28. Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve?A. In the hospital.B. In the nursing home.C. In the church.D. In her house.29. Who made the old woman happy in the story?A. Her daughter.B. An old lady in need.C. Her grandchildren.D. A visit to old friends.30. What is the best title for this passage?A. A job in a nursing home.C. A real present for Christmas.B. Her new neighbors.D. Her old and new friends.(B)31. How long did the girl stay in the library?A. At least 15 minutes.B. Less than 15 minutes.C. At least 10 minutes.D. Less than 10 minutes.We call the three pictures above “______”A. A set of storiesB. A set of booksC. A set of comicsD. A set of ads33. We can infer (推断) from Picture One, 599.55 is probably ______.A. the price of the bookB. the page of the bookC. the number of the bookD. the bookshelf number of the book34. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to Picture Two?A. The Jonas Brothers is an interview.B. You can find giant pandas in Teen area.C. You can find magazines in Teen area.D. Teen area is back on the right-hand comer of the library.35. What does the word “text” mean in Picture Three?A. Take notes.B. Send messages.C. Write letters.D. Make phone calls.(C)My house is made of wood, glass and stone. It is also made of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that several years from now on, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I won^ think these systems are new any more, and ask myself instead, “How did I live without them?”36. The writer's house is NOT made of ______.A. bricksB. woodC. glassD. software37. What can't be done in the writers new house?A. Turn on the lights.B. Play music.C. Get a telephone call.D. Go swimming.38. What is the writer's purpose of writing the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know how new his house is.B. To let readers know how important the keys are.C. To explain how important the PIN and the console are.D. To explain how to use the PIN and the console.39. The writer's new house is different from common ones mainly because ______.A. it has been controlled by computersB. it has your favorite music following youC. you can turn on the lights with the PIND. you can make a telephone call anywhere40. What does the last sentence mean?A. The writer can't live without the house.B. The writer won't invent new things any more.C. The writer will stop thinking new ideas about the house.D. The writer hopes to make life intelligent in the future.(D)Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and develop. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults. Living in a multicultural society (多元文化的社会) has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from different countries. TV and music also have big influence on the language of the young. Often UK singers sing in American accents (口音) without realizing.Young British people use lots of language that you usually can't find in most dictionaries. These informal (非正式的) words and expressions are known as ‘slang’ (俚语). It is not possible to make a complete list of modem British slang. By the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashions. However, here are a few examples.Safe, sorted, sound, cool or wicked all mean “That’s go od” or“I understand”.Instead of using different tag questions like... “isn’t it?”, “can’t you?”, or “don’t they?”people use innit.Instead of saying “very, really” or “completely”, people use well.Whatever means “I don’t care”.‘He’s fine’ or ‘He’s fit’ both mean ‘He’s good-looking’. Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl.Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently stopped its pupils using slang words such as hiya (hello), cheers and ta (both mean thank you). The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak ‘correctly’，this will help them get a place at university and a good job.When British people use language like this, ifs no surprise that some students say they can’t understand native (本土的) speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language.41. This passage would most likely be found in a book of ______.A. storyB. cultureC. travelD. history42. In the UK, you can't find slang in ______.A. pop songsB. TV programmesC. most dictionariesD. young people's language43. The example of a school in Sheffield shows that ______.A. slang is out of dateB. slang is changing quicklyC. slang words can be used easilyD. some people don’ t like slang44. Which of the following word will probably make you not understand native speakers?A. CheersB. ReallyC. That’s goodD. Good-looking45. Which slang can be used in the following dialogue?——But the teacher says we can’t leave before we finish the work.——______. I’m going.A. SoundB. FineC. CoolD. Whatever第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

He believed only gold could make him 2 .One day, a god 3 Dionysius was traveling with his friends. He got lost, and woke up in the garden of Midas’ palace. The king took good care of this stranger.Dionysius was very thankful. He said to King Midas, “Midas, you 4 to me since yesterday. Whatever yo u wish from where come true, but you have only got one wish.” Immediately—and without 5 about it —Midas said, “I wish that everything I touch will turn into gold.” “If that is 6 you really want,” the god said, “Your wish will come true.” Then he di sappeared.At first, Mid as Thought that god had fooled 7 . Then he touched the arm of a chair.

Anything Midas tried to eat and drink turned into gold.The next day was 11 same, and the next and the next. 12 a sunny morning, his daughter entered his room. Midas rushed over to her and hugged her. As he let go , he realized that his own daughter became a dead, golden statue, shining brightly.Midas cried and cried. Then he turned to Dionysius. Dionysius told him 13 down to the river and watch his hands. As Midas was washing them, he saw gold going from his fingers. He returned to the palace and found everything he had touched had changed back. The god took 14 the magic. Midas never forgot this lesson. He knew now 15 gold did not bring happiness.1.

The introduction about American schoolDHave you ever heard of the expression “birdbrain”? People use it to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies（类推法）.It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively and make scientific discoveries.To test this ability in animals, scientists do RMTS tests. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct.Monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman in the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called IMTS, then moved onto RMTS.For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plate that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: One was the same as the sample（in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured）, while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card had some food to eat.In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with RMTS tests. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles. The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science New reports.Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is surprising,” he said.41. In the opening paragraph ,the writer used “birdbrain” to ______.A. get readers interested in the background of the expression.B. teach people how to use this expression.C. introduce a famous scientist Edward Wasserman.D. introduce recent findings about crow’ s intelligence.42. The underlined phrase “this ability” in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____.A. the ability to play cardsB. the ability to find food to eatC. the ability to understand analogiesD. the ability to pick the test card28. Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the crows?A. The birds were trained to match things by color in RMTS.B. RMTS tests are much easier than IMTS tests.C. The monkeys could do RMTS while the crows couldn’t.D. The birds needed to find the sample card to get food in IMTS.43. In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample like this which card should they pick?A. D.44. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Monkeys understand analogies.B. Crows show how clever they are.C. Crows did well in RMTS.D. Monkeys are cleverer than crows.第二节阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5 分）A robot teacherRobots are smart because they have computer brains.
