Check to see whether you need more towels,pillows,blankets,hangers,or an iron.If you do,call housekeeping right away.Calling late at night,when there is a reduced staff,can create difficulties and delays.Fancy hotels have a concierge,in the European tradition.The concierge desk is generally located near the registration desk.Here you can obtain theater,concert,and sports tickets?look at local restaurant menus and make dining reservations;and find out about car rentals,sightseeing tours,babysitters,and even traffic and weather conditions.A good concierge is a miracle worker who seems to know everything about everything.20.What do you have to pay for after use at a fancy hotel according to the passage?A.The iron.B.The bathrobe.C.The minibar.D.The hair dryer.A.The desk clerk.B.The porter.C.The bellman.D.The doorman.22.Which of the following can you ask for more?A.Pillows and blankets.B.Towels and TV sets.C.Hangers and keys.D.Curtains and lights.23.A concierge(Para,5)is probably someone who_______.A.babysits for hotel guestsB.works as a sightseeing guide for hotel guestsC.takes hotel guests to restaurantsD.provides hotel guests with information and servicesQuestions24to27are based on the following passage.I have heard of the story of the world famous opera singer Tina Kiberg.As a child,Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing.One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more.She gave up the violin,took up singing and became a leading international opera singer.Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer.Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common-Larry Page,Tiger Woods,John McEnroe and John Steinbeck.Yes,they all dropped out of Stanford.Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up.There are a number of cognitive(认知的）processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move)on to something new—even when we feel miserable with the present situation.We think“I've invested so much in this already.If I quit,all will have been wasted.M Once we have something,we hate to lose it.Things we don’t have yet don’t carry the same value.These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs,bad marriages,unhappy friendship,etc.To sum up,sometimes you’ve got to stick with somethings even through tough times；but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up.You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.24.What can be learned about Tina Kiberg?A.She used to be a violin player.B.Her talent in violin was ignored.C.She was forced to give up the violin.25.What do we know about many successful people from Para.2?A.They felt miserable in universities.B.They were faced with many failures.C.They usually have nothing in common.D.They know well when to give something up.26.Why are people unwilling to give up according to Para3?A.Because they have wasted too much.B.Because they stay stuck in bad conditions.C.Because they are afraid of losing what they have.D.Because they feel miserable with the present situation.27.What is the author’s comment on“giving up”according to the passage?A.It carries little value.B.It leads to hard times.C.It is sometimes a better choice.D.It is always very important to be successful.Question28to31are based on the following passage.Regular exercise can help you build stronger muscles,shake off illnesses?and make your clothes fit a whole lot better.But there’s another benefit:even moderate exercise seems to take years off your age.Of course,you cant change your age,but exercise can improve your health so that you look and feel younger than you are.Exercise gives you more energy.Exercise fires up your brain and body so you feel more energetic. Exercise puts your body in a state of excitement,which means more vitality and a greater sense of well being. Daily tasks become less tiring and require less effort.It's the kind of energy that makes you feel like you are a decade or two younger.Exercise keeps your skin soft and glowing.Researchers studied a small group of adults between ages 20and84.The frequent exercisers who were over age40had skin that resembled the younger skin of people in their20s and30s.The difference had nothing to do with sun exposure,which would age your skin faster, reported the research team,they guess that exercise creates body substances that help slow aging in skin, though they say more research is needed to learn how exercise works.Moreover,exercise helps you sleep soundly.Restful sleep is like a fountain of youth,and exerciseexperience deep sleep.Exercise tires you out,sure,but there's v more to it than that.Sleeping well helps all the systems in your body function optimally,so d you're less likely to suffer sleeplessness.A recent study finds that getting at least150minutes of exercise per week

aluminum（铝）to decompose.Glass has been found in perfect condition after4,000years in the earth!We are quickly running out of space.It's time to learn the three R's of the environment：reduce, reuse,and recycle.Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment.For example：you can buy products that don't have a lot of packaging.You can also look for things that are packed in materials that don't require a lot of energy or resources to produce.Instead of buying something you're notnot using.Instead of throwing things away,try to find ways to use them again!Bring cloth bags to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags.You can use these bags again and again.Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are great ways to take your lunch to

Let me share all the details with you!First of all, let me tell you about the exam venue. It was held in a big school campus with lots of classrooms. When I arrived, there were so many students and their parents. Everyone looked a little nervous, including me. But I tried to stay positive and confident.The exam had different sections, and the first one was English. Since English is my favorite subject, I was really excitedto start. The exam paper had reading comprehension, grammar, and writing sections. In the reading part, we had to read passages and answer questions about them. Some questions were easy, but some were a bit tricky. I had to read carefully to make sure I got everything right.The grammar section tested our knowledge of tenses, parts of speech, and sentence structure. I had to choose the correct answers from multiple-choice questions. It was a bit challenging, but I remembered all the grammar rules our teacher taught us, and it helped me a lot. I was proud of myself for remembering all those rules!Next came the writing section, which was my favorite part. We had to write an essay about our future dreams. I wrote about how I wanted to become a doctor and help people. I described all the reasons why this profession is important and how doctors save lives. I also mentioned that I would study hard to achieve my dream. Writing the essay made me feel happy and hopeful about my future.After the English exam, we had a break for lunch. I ate with my friends and we talked about how we did in the test. Some of us felt confident, while others were a little worried. Weencouraged each other and shared some snacks to boost our energy.The next subject was math. Math is not my strongest subject, but I didn't let that discourage me. I tried my best to solve all the equations and word problems. Some questions were challenging, and I had to think carefully before writing down the answers. But I never gave up! I remembered my teacher's advice to stay calm and take my time. It really helped me to stay focused and do my best.Finally, we had the last section, which was science. We had to answer questions about different scientific concepts and experiments. It was interesting because I got to apply the knowledge I learned in class. I remembered studying hard for this part, and it paid off. I felt confident and answered most of the questions correctly.After the exam, I felt a mix of relief and excitement. It was a long and challenging day, but I did my best. I knew that no matter what the results were, I gave it my all.

Today, I want to share with you my incredible adventure at the Beijing Zoo. It was so much fun and I saw many amazing animals. Let me tell you all about it!When we arrived at the zoo, I could already feel the excitement building up inside me. The entrance was huge and had a colorful sign that said "Welcome to Beijing Zoo." I held my mom's hand tightly as we stepped inside.As we walked along the path, I noticed beautiful flowers and tall trees all around us. It felt like we were in a magical forest! The air smelled fresh and I could hear birds chirping happily. It was a perfect day to visit the zoo.Our first stop was the lion enclosure. I was thrilled to see real lions up close.

They looked so strong and fearless.Next, we went to see the playful monkeys. They were swinging from tree to tree and making funny faces. I couldn't stop giggling! It was like they were putting on a show just for us.I wished I could swing like them and have so much fun.After that, we visited the elephant area. Elephants are my favorite animals, and I was amazed by their size. They were enormous! I watched as they used their long trunks to eat leaves and drink water. It was incredible how gentle they were. I wanted to give them a big hug, but I knew I had to keep a safe distance.As we continued our adventure, we came across the penguin house. Penguins are so adorable! They waddled around and swam gracefully in the water. I felt like I was in a winter wonderland. It made me want to slide on the ice with them and join in their fun.One of the most exciting parts of the zoo was the giraffe feeding session. We were given the opportunity to feed them leaves. Their tongues were incredibly long! I held out a leaf, and agiraffe gently took it from my hand. It tickled a little, but it was such a special moment. I will never forget it!Before we left, we visited the aquarium. The colorful fish and beautiful corals mesmerized me. I saw Nemo and his friends swimming happily. It was like being in a different world under the sea. I wished I could dive in and explore with them.As we said goodbye to the zoo, I felt a mix of happiness and sadness. I had the most amazing adventure, but I didn't want it to end. I learned so much about different animals and how important it is to protect them and their habitats.Visiting the Beijing Zoo was an experience I will treasure forever. It made me appreciate the wonders of nature and the beauty of all living creatures. I can't wait for my next adventure, but until then, I'll keep the memories of my zoo trip close to my heart.That's the end of my story, friends! I hope you enjoyed hearing about my amazing adventure at the zoo. Remember, always be kind to animals and love nature. Bye for now!篇4My Amazing Adventure at the ZooHi everyone! I want to tell you all about my incredible adventure at the zoo. It was the best day ever! Last weekend, my family and I visited the Beijing Zoo, where we got to see so many amazing animals.First, we went to see the lions. They were huge and majestic!I was in awe of their beautiful manes and powerful roars. It was like they were kings of the jungle. I learned that lions are the symbol of strength and courage. It was so exciting to see them up close!Next, we headed over to the monkey enclosure. The monkeys were so mischievous and playful. They swung from branch to branch, making funny faces at us. I couldn't stop giggling! I even saw a baby monkey clinging to its mother's back. They were so adorable! Monkeys are known for their intelligence, and I could see why. They were like little acrobats, always finding new ways to entertain us.After spending time with the monkeys, we walked over to the giraffe exhibit. Wow, those giraffes were incredibly tall! I felt like a tiny ant standing next to them. Did you know that giraffes are the tallest animals on Earth? Their long necks and beautiful patterns amazed me. I couldn't take my eyes off them. It was like they were reaching for the sky!Then, we visited the bird sanctuary. There were so many colorful and exotic birds from all around the world. I saw peacocks spreading their feathers in a magnificent display. The parrots were chattering away, showing off their bright plumage. I even spotted an owl perched on a branch, looking wise and mysterious. Birds have such fascinating features and unique calls.I wish I could fly like them!Finally, we ended our zoo adventure at the aquarium. The underwater world was mesmerizing. I saw graceful dolphins swimming and performing tricks. The clownfish were hiding among the coral reefs, just like in the movie "Finding Nemo." The sharks were a little scary, but they were also fascinating creatures. The aquarium was like a magical kingdom beneath the sea.I had the most incredible time at the zoo. Seeing all these amazing animals up close made me appreciate the diversity of our planet. It reminded me of the importance of protecting and preserving our wildlife. Every creature has a special role in our ecosystem, and we need to take care of them.If you ever get a chance to visit the zoo, I highly recommend it. You will be amazed by the wonders of nature. I can't wait to go back and see more animals on my next adventure!Remember, we must always respect and cherish our animal friends. They are an important part of our world.

I also had to solve some math problems and even write an essay about my favorite subject in school. It was challenging, but I did my best!While I was working on the practice questions, I met a friendly lady named Mrs. Wang. She was a teacher who was helping with the examination. She saw me struggling with a math problem and kindly offered to help. Mrs. Wang explained the problem step by step, and I finally understood how to solve it. She was really patient and made me feel more confident. I was so grateful to her!As the day went on, I saw people finishing their tests and leaving the examination center.

These hotels provide many extra services. You probably can count on having bathrobes,hair dryers,and a minibar in your room. Beware of minibars. You can be surprised when you pay your bill.When you arrive,a doorman greets you,and a porter takes your bags. Tip the porter atleast $ 1 per bag. If the doorman calls a taxi for you, tip him $ 1. If he has to stand out in the rain,you might want to tip more.The porter takes the bags to your room. Sometimes the desk clerk will direct you to the room,and the porter will follow with the bags. The porter or bellman will open and show you the room. If you don’t like the room,ask the porter to call the front desk about a replacement.The next thing you should do,no matter what sort of hotel, is to find the emergency and fire exits. Check to see whether you need more towels, pillows, blankets, hangers,or an iron. If you do, call housekeeping right away. Calling late at night, when there is a reduced staff,can create difficulties and delays.Fancy hotels have a concierge, in the European tradition. The concierge desk is generally located near the registration desk. Here you can obtain theater, concert, and sports tickets? look at local restaurant menus and make dining reservations; and find out about car rentals, sightseeing tours,babysitters,and even traffic and weather conditions.

As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing. One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more. She gave up the violin, took up singing and became a leading international opera singer. Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer. Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common-Larry Page,Tiger Woods,John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. Yes, they all dropped out of Stanford. Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up. There are a number of cognitive(认知的）processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move ) on to something new—even when we feel miserable with the present situation. We think “I've invested so much in th is already. If I quit,all will have been wasted. M Once we have something,we hate to lose it. Things we don’t have yet don’t carry the same value. These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship,etc.To sum up, sometimes you’ve got to stick with somethings even through tough times；but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up. You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.24.What can be learned about Tina Kiberg?A.She used to be a violin player.B.Her talent in violin was ignored.C.She was forced to give up the violin.D.She considered herself the best violinist.25.What do we know about many successful people from Para. 2?A.They felt miserable in universities.B.They were faced with many failures.C.They usually have nothing in common.D.They know well when to give something up.26.Why are people unwilling to give up according to Para 3?A.Because they have wasted too much.B.Because they stay stuck in bad conditions.C.Because they are afraid of losing what they have.D.Because they feel miserable with the present situation.27.What is the author’s comment on “giving up” according to the passage?A.It carries little value.B.It leads to hard times.C.It is sometimes a better choice.D.It is always very important to be successful.Question 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Regular exercise can help you build stronger muscles, shake off illnesses?and make your cloth es fit a whole lot better. But there’s another benefit: even moderate exercise seems to take years off your age. Of course, you cant change your age, but exercise can improve your health so that you look and feel younger than you are.Exercise gives you more energy. Exercise fires up your brain and body so you feel more energetic. Exercise puts your body in a state of excitement,which means more vitality and a greater sense of well being. Daily tasks become less tiring and require less effort. It's the kind of energy that makes you feel like you are a decade or two younger.Exercise keeps your skin soft and glowing. Researchers studied a small group of adults between ages 20 and 84. The frequent exercisers who were over age 40 had skin that resembled the younger skin of people in their 20s and 30s. The difference had nothing to do with sun exposure, which would age your skin faster, reported the research team, they guess that exercise creates body substances that help slow aging in skin, though they say more research is needed to learn how exercise works.Moreover,exercise helps you sleep soundly. Restful sleep is like a fountain of youth, and exercise helps you achieve it. Research shows that regular exercisers fall asleep more easily and are more likely to experience deep sleep. Exercise tires you out,sure,but there's v more to it than that. Sleeping well helps all the systems in your body function optimally,so d you're less likely to suffer sleeplessness. A recent study finds that getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week improves sleep quality by 65%.28.What do we know about sun exposure according to the passage?A.It leads to faster aging in skin.B.It encourages more exercise.C.It makes the exerciser sweat.D.It creates body substances.29.What can we learn from Para, 3?A.The researchers think exercise helps the skin work faster.B.The researchers are not sure how exercise works on skin.C.Exercise brings more sun exposure to the skin.D.Exercise only works on people under 40.30.How does exercise affect people's sleep?A. It improves sleep quality,B. It increases the length of sleep.C. It helps people sleep regularly.D. It makes people less tired in sleep.31.Which would be the best title of the passage?A. Exercise and Sounder Sleep,B. Exercise and Stronger Muscles.C. Exercise Increases Sun Exposure.D. Exercise Makes You Look Younger. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.Every year, Americans throw away 50 billion food and drink cans, 27 billion glass bottles and jars, and 65 billion can covers. More than 30% of our waste is packaging materials. Where does it all go? Some 85% of our garbage is sent to a dump,or a landfill, where h can take from 100 to 400 years for things like cloth and aluminum （铝）to decompose. Glass has been found in perfect condition after 4,000 years in the earth!We are quickly running out of space. It's time to learn the three R's of the environment ：reduce, reuse,and recycle.Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. For example：you can buy products that don't have a lot of packaging. You can also look for things that are packed in materials that don't require a lot of energy or resources to produce. Instead of buying something you're not going to use very often, borrow it from someone you know. Save energy by turning off lights that you are not using.Instead of throwing things away,try to find ways to use them again! Bring cloth bags to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can use these bags again and again. Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are great ways to take your lunch to school without creating waste. Use all writing paper on both sides.In some towns you can leave your recyclables in bins outside your homeland a truck will come and collect them regularly. Other towns have recycling centers where you can drop off the materials you've collected. Things like paper and plastic grocery bags, plastic and aluminum cans and bottles can often be brought to the grocery store for recycling. Whatever your system is,it's important to remember to clean and sort your recyclables!32.What does the first paragraph tell us?A.How much waste Americans produce annually.B.How many things Americans waste each year.C.How a landfill contains waste.D.How long glass can endure.33.What does the word decompose (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Recycle.B. Reduce.C. Produce.D. Decay34.Why are cloth bags recommended?A. Because they require fewer resources for production.B. Because they can be recycled many times.C. Because they can be used repeatedly.D. Because they require less energy for production.35.How many specific recycling systems are mentioned in the last paragraph?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.Part ⅢClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it. Read the passage carefully and then choose the most the appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked A., B., C. and D.

Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a greatleader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civilrelights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the LincolnMemorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by theAmericans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, thedaytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenlybecome "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want tobe happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap operacharacter, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives youngpeople a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.(15分)7.1 What is soap opera?(3分)(A) Plays based on science fiction stories.(B) Plays based on non-fiction stories.(C) The daytime serial dramas on TV.(D) Popular documentary films on TV.7.2 What can be the best title of the passage?(3分)(A) College student viewers.(B) Favorite TV serials.(C) Soap opera fans.(D) College-age viewers.7.3 Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenlybecome "in" among American young people ?(3分)(A) Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.(B) Because the soap opera makes young people feel cl ose to their people.(C) Because the viewers can find themselves in the soa p opera characters.(D) Because the young people have to bear the respons ibilities for their troubles.7.4 What can we learn from the passage? _________(3分)(A) College students like soap operas more than any ot her social groups.(B) Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.(C) young viewers have turned themselves from the ser iousness of sixties to enjoyment now.(D) The young as a whole are trying to look for happy l ove but in vain.7.5 What message does the author want to convey to us?_________(3分)(A) The people's favorites to drama works have been ch anged for a long time.(B) The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.(C) The people's favorites to drama works is changed b y the soap opera.(D) The people's favorites have changed the drama wor ks.完型填空(共10分)说明:（此部分的文章中有五个未完成的部分,请从ABCDE五个选项中选择最恰当的一项。

She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in the Braille (盲文). When she was six, Alexia began to learn Chinese. The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parliament as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award. She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr. Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taster of life in parliament. “It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an interpreter,” she said.36.

The tone of the passage can be best described as ______.A. criticalB. admiringC. understandingD. doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.”40. Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?A. The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.B. Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C. 8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.D. A company carried out a research in 1983.A. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.B. Giving people breakfast improves work.C. Going without breakfast can improve work, too.D. Having breakfast does improve work.42. What does the word “literature” in the last sentence refer to?A. Modern American literature.B. Any printed materials.C. Written works on a subject.D. Stories, poems and plays.43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’sconclusion about the function of breakfast?A. Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B. Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C. Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support ofbreakfast.D. There isn’t strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a must.person.48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. People from a mobile society dislike talking about personalaffairs.B. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.C. Americans tend to make more friends than people from othercultures.D. It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicatewith strangers.49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according tothe passage?A. Those who talk a lot about themselves.B. Those who they know well enough.C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D. Those who want to do business with them.50. Which of the following is true about the rules in “particular”societies?A. They change to fit different situations.B. People respect and obey them completely.C. They don’t exist.D. No one obeys them.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Polite behavior varies with different cultures.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are more polite.D. Cultural differences are important.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet (1840-1926) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin, who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Académie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria (阿尔及利亚). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prussian war, they moved to London. Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872, he visited Le Havre where he painted “An Impression, Sunrise”.When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in 1879, and he set up home with Alice Hoschedé, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列) of pictures of one subject, including “Haystacks”, “Rouen Cathedral”and “Waterlilies”, The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again, most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52. Monet was introduced to art ______.A. by an artist in his childhoodB. by his father in Le HavreC. during his short stay in AlgeriaD. during his visit to Paris53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Impressionism was born in London.B. Monet was one of the sponsors of Impressionism.C. Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impressionists.D. Impressionist paintings are mainly based on nature.54. What is said about the painting “An Impression, Sunrise”?A. It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B. It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C. It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.D. It was the origin of the name “Impressionism”.55. What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A. He painted only for a museum in Paris.B. He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C. He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.D. He focused on paintings of a particular theme.V.

Reading Comprehension (60 points) Directions：There are five reading passages in this part．Each passage is followed by four questions．For each question there are four suggested answers marked A，B，C and D．Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．Passage OneAt first glance, there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome, but back in the 5th century, it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Westem Roman Empire. In this city. Roman rulers built monumentswhich are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics（镶嵌图案）. Seven of Ravenna’s eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with examples of this ancient art. “in the past, many people couldn’t read or write.”says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. “Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation to the people.”Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces.Travel TipsWhen to Go:June—October;weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with shool groups.Where to Stay: Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron.How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city.Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a former movie theater, two-story Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try OsteriaL’Accigua and Da Buco.What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers.What to Read Before you Go: Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis(2010), provides a wide-ranging look at the city’s art, architecture, and history.( )36.

Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C. Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D. Because it provides useful information about the city’s weather.Passage TwoWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags（摆来摆去）his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness; if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight; and if his tail is tucked （塞）behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats’ tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out（甩动）his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other,dogscould use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs’ .( )40. What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?A. It has a lot to say to you.B. It wants to stop fighting.C. It is going to fight.D. It likes to be patted.( )41. A cat tries to appear big when itis .A. facing a dangerB. unhappyC. ready to huntD. hungry( )42. Which of the following does the author intend to say?A. Dogs and cats are not good friendsB. Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C. Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D. Dogs use tail language more than cats. ( )43. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “predators” refers to .A. animals that follow and obey other animalsB. animals that kill and eat other animalsC. animals that live in the wildD. animals kept by peoplePassage ThreeLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year olk, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan, 47, the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story- the younger sibling （姊妹篇）of One Story magazine-will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It’s really the only magazine for young aduit shortfiction,”he says from his office in New York. “It’s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it’s forced upon them in schools.”Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn’t carry photographs or advertising. It’s just exactly what itsays:one story perissue.Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It’s not about having a message or positive spin（说教）. It always start on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ‘Twilight’ characters and the ‘Harry Potter’ characters, they feel very contemporary.”Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “ I would love thmake One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business.I just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody–would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this.”( )44. Who is Patrick Ryan?A. He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B. He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C. He is the editor-in-chief of “Twilight”.D. He is the editor-in-chief of One Teen Story( )45. What is One Teen Story?A. It is a story magazine for teenagers.B. It is a London-based literary journal.C. It is a column of a newspaper.D. It is a magazine of science fiction( )46. According to Ryan, what attracts young rcaders most?A. Photographs and illustration.B. Chances and practices in business.C. Characters and stories close to their life.D. Political teachings and moral messages.( )47. In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “this business” means .A. reading stories.B. writing storiesC. editing magazinesD. making moneyPassage FourCouples are restricting the size of their families in the UK because of cash worries brought on by the financial crisis and the subsequent decline. We’re now up to nearly 3.7 million families where there is an only child, a rise from about 3.3 million in 2005. That means nearly half of all parents have only one child.Financial worries aren’t the only driver. The trend towards later motherbood has been mentioned as a cause, as have soaring casts ofraising a child, which have been calculated as $222,500 from birth to 21 years of age. This is an increase of nearly 40% in 10 years.The increasing availability of IVF（试管婴儿）is also a factor and an interesting one. Couples who might have remained childless in the past now invest in IVF and get pregnant. And because of the cost they stop after one child.It may not be a bad thing; there are outstanding examples of talented only children. Some argue that being an only child promoted their success. These include actors Natalie Portman and AI Pacino, golfer. Tiger Woods and even Queen Victoria. A study from the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex also showed that the fewer brothers and sisters a child has, the happier they are. It seems fighting for parental attention and affection-which sometimes descends into physical fights-is mor stressful than any adult had previously thought. And it’s not compensated（弥补）by having a playmate.( )48. The smaller size of UK families is mainly related to .A. financial problemsB. technical problemsC. health problemsD. cultural problems( )49. The passage shows that IVFis .A. safer than natural pregnancyB. very popular in UKC. very expensiveD.a risky investment( )50. What is a proved advantage ofone-child family?A. Improved family lifeB. Higher number of sports stars.C. Efficient family education.D. Promotion of children’s success.( )51.

That means they have blood sugar that’s higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed（诊断）with type 2-at least not yet. One long-term study reported by the American Diabetes Association found that 11% of people with pre-diabetes develop the full-blown disease each year. Another study shows that pre-diabetes will probably become type 2 in 10 years or less.Yet, that process is not inevitable. Last year, scientists in Colorado found that people with pre-diabeles who lowered their blood sugar to normal levels—levels—even briefly—were 56%less likely to reach type 2 levels.If you have pre-diabetes, here are four steps to help prevent or delay a diabetes diagnosis.Lose 7% of your body weight. That is about 15 pounds for the persons who weigh 200. Dropping that small percentage has been shown to lower the risk of developing type 2 by close to 60%.Exercise 30 minutes five days a week. Whether you do the 30 minutes in one shot or in three 10-minute sessions, the benefit is the same. Choose certain exercises, such as fast walking,playing tennis or lifting weights. Physical activity such as sweeping floors works,too.Turn to your doctor. In some cases, pre-diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. Your doctor may use some medicine to control your glucose（葡萄糖）levels and keep your blood pressure in check.Know your numbers. To see if your pre-diabetes is improving, have your bloodsugar checked regularly. A fasting blood sugar of 100 to 125 mg/dl suggests pre-disbetes; 126 mg/dl or above is diabetes; and below 100 is normal. Other tests, including glucosc tolerance and AIC, also are used to monitor blood sugar. ( )52.What do we learn from the two studies mentioned in Para graph 1?A.
