The British SummerBritain is well known for its rainy climate. People joke that even in the summer time the country never gets any sun and that the skies stay disappointingly grey even during the months of July and August.Last summer though, it was so hot that people could hardly believe it. British people weren't used to such high temperatures, so every day on the news there were stories about people struggling to work in such unusual weather conditions. Radio and television programmes also reminded everyone to drink more water and not to stay too long in the sun. When the sun comes out, British people tend to spend time in their garden if they have one. It's common to invite friends and neighbours around for a barbecue where everyone sits outside and eats food like grilled meat（烤肉）and salads. There' s always a back-up plan in case of rain though, and the meal sometimes has to be cooked in the kitchen and eaten indoors.People also spend a lot of time in parks during the summer, having picnics or playing sports. In every green area, there's always at least one ice cream van, a kind of car that plays children's music and sells ice creams.Towns like Blackpool and Brighton are popular for their beaches and amusement arcades（游乐场）. People go there to swim, sunbathe and eat fish and chips. The water can be quite cold, though, and that's why quite a lot of people prefer to go abroad for their summer holiday instead. Popular destinations include Spain, Germany and France: all countries that promise a lot of sunshine!1.【题干】There is little sunshine in Britain in summer.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】A【解析】题干大意：英国在夏天里阳光很少。
该题的关键词为"little sunshine"和"in summer"，定位到文中的第一段，第二句中"even in the summer time the country never gets any sun and that the skies stay disappointingly grey even during the months of July and August."提到即使是在夏天，这个国家都很少有阳光，甚至在七八月，天空都是灰。
结合原文，可知该题考查同义词转换，题目与原文意思相同，故选A。
2.【题干】British people like to tell jokes about each other.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】C【解析】题干大意：英国人喜欢互相开玩笑。
该题的关键词"tell jokes about each other"意为互相开玩笑，定位到文中第一段第二句"People joke..."文中只提到人们开玩笑说英国的天气，并未提到英国人喜欢互相开玩笑。
该题为细节理解题，题目与原文无关，故选C。
3.【题干】It was unusually hot last summer in Britain.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】A【解析】题干大意：去年夏天，英国不同寻常的热。

4.【题干】British people enjoyed the high temperatures of last summer. 【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】B【解析】题干大意：英国人享受去年夏天的高温。

题干意思与原文意思相反，故选B。
5.【题干】The media advised people to enjoy the sunshine.【选项】B．FalseC．Not given【答案】B【解析】题干大意：媒体们建议人们去享受阳光。
该题关键词为"The media advised"和"enjoy"定位到文中第二段第三句"Radio and television programmes also reminded everyone to drink more water and not to stay too long in the sun."该题同时考查了近义词和细节理解，媒体对应广播和电视节目，结合句意可知，媒体只告诉人们如何应对炎热的天气，并没有建议人们享受阳光。
题干意思与原文不符，故选B。
6.【题干】Most British people have a garden of their own.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given【答案】C【解析】题干大意：大部分英国人都有一个自己的花园。
结合文章第二段"British people tend to spend time in their garden if they have one."该句可知，文中只提到如果有花园，英国人喜欢在花园消遣时间，而未提到大部分人有花园。
该题为细节理解题，题干意思与原文不符，故选C。
7.【题干】People having a barbecue often have a plan against the rain. 【选项】B．FalseC．Not Given【答案】A【解析】题干大意：烧烤的人们通常做好了防雨的计划。

题干意思与原文不符，故选C。
9.【题干】Blackpool and Brighton are known for their beaches.【选项】A．TrueB．FalseC．Not given【解析】题干大意：黑潭和布莱顿以海滩闻名。

During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a bigcountry, with manystates and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy，even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the northit's hot and humid.Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country.

Abilities in sports and arts are other types of intelligence.3．Another important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence.Emotional intelligence (EQ for short) is the ability to understand, use,and manage our emotions. Just as a high IQ can predict top test scores,a high EQcan predict success in social and emotional situations.EQhelps us build strong relationships, make good decisions, and deal withdifficult situations.4．One way to think about EQ is that it is part of being people-smart. Understanding and getting along with people help us become successful in our lives. In fact, some studies show that EQ is more important than IQwhen it comes to doing well in school or being successful at work. 5．Somepeople are born with good EQ skills;others need to work on them.

You can learn to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to them.When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears, you can get clues to what the horse is hearing. A horse can turn each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this skill is important for survival. The horse can hear something creeping up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it’s feeling safe and relaxed. Though these actions may be natural responses and not deliberate communications, they help you know what the horse is thinking. Sometimes horses can send definite messages. For example, they know they are safer when they’re with other horses. If they become isolated, they “whinny （嘶鸣）,” calling for company. They’re saying, “Where are you? I’m over here!” Domestic horses use the same sounds to stay in touch with other horses.If a horse snorts （打响鼻儿）,it's not communicating anything. It’s just clearing dust or grass seed out of its nose. But if it snorts while holding its head high and staring at something, it’ssaying. “That look s dangerous. Get ready to run!" When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It’s their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses also “blow "breathing out the air loudly through the nose, when they meet something stra nge. They are asking, “Is this safe?”Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying!1）Horses in the wild “talk" mainly to________.A. stay aliveB. make friendsC. find foodD. keep awake2） It is dangerous to________.A. touch a horse’s earsB. ride a horse on farmsC. surprise a horse from behindD. stare at a horse from front3）A horse’s ears are special because they can________.A. send messagesB. turn to different directionsC. sense temperaturesD. clear out the dust4）When a horse’s ears are down, we know that it is________.A. isolatedB. relaxedC. angryD. anxious5） From the text, we know that horses________.A. are dangerous animalsB. can hardly survive in the wildC. prefer to stay in groupsD. have different language systems三.归纳综合段落大意和补全句子（本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分）Hawaii, the Aloha State① Hawaii is sometimes called “the Aloha State.” Aloba is a word in the Hawaiian language meaning love and peace. It is often used as a way to say “hello” or “goodbye.” Hawaii is like the word aloha, because it is a state that has two viewpoints: it remembers its history and looks toward the future.② Hawaii is a U.S. state made up of a group of islands in the Pacific Ocea n. It is made up of eight large islands and over 100 other smaller islands. It is the only state that is not in North America. The islands were formed by volcanoes that erupted （爆发）and rose above the ocean. There are still active volcanoes in Hawaii.③ Bec ause of its location, Hawaii has a tropical climate. It is warm, but usually not hot, all year long. Rarely does the temperature drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit （华氏温度）although it may occasionally snow at the top of some of the mountains.④ Once called the Sandwich Islands by Europeans, Hawaii is thought to have been settled by ancient sailors from other islands in the Pacific. The British explorer Captain Cook thought to be the first European to find the islands in 1778. Because of its location, Hawaii became a frequent stop for European traders and ships. Hawaii was an independent country before it became part of the United States in 1893. It was governed by either a king or a queen. It is one of the only four U.S. states to have been a country before statehood. It was admitted into the Union in 1959 as the 50th state.⑤ Today Hawaii is important as a vacation destination. Each year over 6 million people visit Hawaii to enjoy the beaches, the beautiful ocean, and the historical Hawaiian culture. Come and visit Hawaii. You are sure to love it!Task 11）Paragraph ①: ______A. Mild climateB. Local customsC. Tourist attractionD. Long historyE. Meaning of AlohaF. Geographic features 2）Paragraph ②: ______A. Mild climateB.
