AOn a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football. Once they‟d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls（回忆）. “I‟m trying to figure out how to swim to the boy s in a straight line.”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.“Let‟s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys‟ faces.“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim t old them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.21. Why did the two boys go to the sea?A. To go boat rowing.B. To get back their football.C. To swim in the open water.D. To test the umbrella as a sail.22. What does “it” in Paragr aph 2 refer to?A. The beachB. The waterC. The boatD. The wind23. Why did Tim raise his head regularly?A. To take in enough fresh air.B. To consider turning back or not.C. To check his distance from the boys.D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.24. How can the two boys finally reach the pier?A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.D. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.BIf you are heading for Paris this year, be sure to include at least one of these shopping malls in your schedule.Au PrintempsTel: 01133014282Located near the Paris Opera, this huge store is well-known for household goods as well as its fashion. The store also offers many services to overseas visitors, including shipping, translation and a personal shopping service. Au Printemps, whose name means springtime, hosts several free fashion shows each week. The store‟s beauty department has one of the world‟s largest selections of perfumes（香水）.Galeries LafayetteTel: 01133014283The Galeries Lafayette was built in 1906. It is as much fun to look at as it is to shop in this 10-storey shopping palace. In fact, the flagship store is the second most visited attraction in Paris, after the Louvre Museum. This shopping palace specializes in women‟s clothing. Make sure to take in the view from the tea shop on the top floor; it‟s well worth the visit.Le Bon MarcheTel: 01133014439This stylish Left Bank depart ment store was Paris‟ first such store. Designed by Gustave Eiffel, Le Bon Marche is particularly known for its food hall, its wedding shops and its selection of modern clothes.La Forum des HallesTel: 01133014476This modern, underground shopping center was built in 1979. La Forum des Halles, the three-storey-tall shopping center offers everything from souvenirs to haute couture（高级女子时装）to entertainment, such as first-run movies and street performers. The shopping center is attached to the busy La Halle-Chatelet metro station and can be easily reached from all over Paris.25. Which of the following places attracts the most visitors according to the passage?A. Au Printemps.B. The Paris Opera.C. La Forum des Halles.D. The Louvre Museum.26. Which of the stores pays its special attention to women‟s dressing?A. Le Bon Marche.B. Galeries Lafayette.C. La Forum des Halles.D. Au Printemps.27. We can learn from the passage that ___________________.A. La Forum des Halles is next to the metro stationB. Au Printemps is famous for its food hallC. the clothes in Le Bon Marche are usually very cheapD. the tea shop that is worth visiting is on the ninth floor of Galeries LafayetteCBlack has long been praised for its ability to better women‟s figures and suit every occasion. But the color has a side-effect—it ages the face.While black does give the appearance of a slimmer figure by making the shadows less visible, wearing it next to the face brings out a negative effect. Black clothing can highlight （突出）dark lines under the chin, shadows around the eyes and wrinkles on the face. The effect can be as serious as making women feel exhausted, self-conscious and upset. Wrinkles and sunken areas appear deeper and more pronounced, meaning the effect is more obvious in older women.Dark scarves, hats and high-collared coats are apparently particularly likely to emphasize aging features of the face. But fear not. The effect can be tempered by a splash of color around the neck—in the form of a scarf or a piece of jewelry—or a low neckline.Famous actress Joan Collins is among the few who can get away with the side-effect. But those who should consider changing their dresses include many European stars. The majority of women who have what is known as a “warm” skin tone, based on yellow and gold colors, will not look young and healthy with black against their faces. Warm skins do not match well with black against their faces as it takes away all the golden glow that they have as a basic skin tone. Black looks for dark things on the face and highlights them, particularly as women age.The good news for those who like black dress is that a simple test can help determine whether they can wear black well: Hold the color up against your face, stand in front of the mirror and look for dark lines under the chin, shadows around the eyes or lines on the face that are highlighted. If there are no dark areas or shadows, you can probably wear black close to your face and look great. Otherwise, change your ways.28. According to the passage, wearing black clothes probably ________________.A. makes the wearer less energeticB. gives away the wearer‟s ageC. darkens the wearer‟s skin toneD. makes the wearer feel confident29. The underlined word “tempered” in Paragra ph 3 can be replaced by _______________.A. observedB. ignoredC. weakenedD. measured30. We can infer from the passage that _______________.A. high-collared coats are not suitable for warm-skinned womenB. a woman from eastern Asia may not look young with black against her faceC. men with deep wrinkles would look unhealthy in blackD. Joan Collins has a warm skin tone31. The black dress will be probably suitable for you on condition that there are no ___________.A. wrinkles on your faceB. dark circles around your eyesC. sunken areas that are highlightedD. dark areas or shadows on the faceDIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers hav e begun to speak the …decline of class‟ and …classless society‟ in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded …educated‟ and …soft‟. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city acc ents. These accents were seen as …common‟ and …ugly‟. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song …Common People‟ puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may …want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.32. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person‟s classD. people regard themselves socially different33. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. divisionC. authorityD. qualification34. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expandingB. A person‟s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics.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。
