A21.Who lost a white cat with two big blue eyes?A. SamB. DavidC. MaryD. Charles22.You need to pay _________ if you buy the book A Christmas Carol now .A. $59.60B. $49.60C. $39.60D. $29.6023.Those ads above are most probably from a ___________.A. mapB. dictionaryC. newspaperD. guidebookBMy First Marathon（马拉松）A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.24. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. made up his mind to runB. felt scaredC. was well trainedD. lost hope25. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.26. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He quit halfway.B. He made it.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.27. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.CLast week the British university system offered a record number of places. That sounds like good news—but do we really need more people to go to university? For that matter, does the world need more universities?The answer feels like it should be yes.Education is good, is it not? But everything has a cost.Education takes time. We could insist that everyone study full-time until the age of 45 but that would surely be too much. And perhaps half the population studying until they’r e 21 is also too much. As for universities, they consume financial and intellectual resources—perhaps those resources might be better spent elsewhere.My own personal opinion is strongly in favor both of going to university, and of simply having universities around.The main skill I learnt at university was to write about economics, and I use that skill every day of my professional life, even an abstract education seems practical to me. And I now live in Oxford, one of the world’s most celebrated (著名的) university cities. Oxford’s experience certainly suggests that universities have much to offer.The city’s architecture and green spaces have been shaped—greatly for the better, on balance —by the 900-year-old institution at its heart. The beauty attracts tourists and locals too.But these are samples of one. Many people do not find themselves using the skills and knowledge they accumulated at university. And Oxford’s dreaming spires (尖顶) aren’t terribly representative of global universities as a whole.28. Which of the following is the most proper title?A. Does the world need more universities?B. Is education really necessary?C. Is British university system the best?D. Do you prefer universities abroad?29. Which of the following about the writer is TRUE?A. He is an economist now.B. He likes Oxford’s architecture and green spaces most.C. The skill he learnt at university is practical in his career.D. He holds the view that going to univeristy is a waste of resources.30. The writer develops the passage by ______.A. comparing his experience with others’B. persuading us with his own experience and opinionC. describing and sharing his own university experienceD. informing us of the advantages of universities31. In the following part, the writer is likely to ______.A. list more supporting details about his opinionB. show more disadvantages about going to universitiesC. present some opposite opinions about universitiesD. draw a conclusion about the topicDMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevantinformation. It has signed several international agreements with many countries onthis matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to recover cultural relics.B. The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C. Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig's head to Beijing.D. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.33. Most of lost Chinese cultural relics .A. have been recovered by the Chinese governmentB. were bought for little money by foreignersC. are owned by private collectorsD. are housed in foreign museums34. Which of the following statements about the bronze pig's head is NOT true?A. It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B. It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.C. It was donated by the French government to China.D. It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.35. The underlined word "feasible" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by " ".A. possibleB. difficultC. popularD. careful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。

The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!

It is better, because your eyes don’t change a s you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea ofeye-recognition.8.Where has the programme for remembering eyes been tested?A．Banks and factories.

A.What is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English. However, even on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.When people use words and expressions different form “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the Midwestern, southern, African American has many dialects. Even in some parts of the US, two people from neighboring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern US speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern US speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern US. The US is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize each other’s dialects.1. Standard English is spoken ________．A．in Britain B．in the US C．in Canada D．in no place2. ________ is called a dialect．A．Native languageB．The language which is different from “standard language”C．The language spoken in most parts of one countryD．American English3. American English has so many dialects because ________．A．people have come from all over the world B．the US is made up of so many states C．Americans move from one place to another D．the US is a large country4. As many Americans move all over the country, they ________．A．change their dialects B．take their dialects with themC．don’t speak their dialects D．can’t understand each other’s dialects5. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English because ________．A．there are no differences in the way people speak on TV and the radioB．English spoke in BBC and VOA is the sameC．people expect those who report the news speak excellent EnglishD．English spoken on TV and the radio doesn’t contain dialectsB.My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, “Where are we going?” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Althoughshe didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back?” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn’t; my sister doesn’t care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look -- the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a water fall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.6. The text mainly tells us that the author and his sister___________.A. plan and make preparations for their bike tripB. take a bike trip along the Mekong RiverC. do some research on the Mekong RiverD. are fond of cycling and travelling7. What can we learn from the text?A. They would need others' help during their trip.B. They knew well about the Mekong River before.C. They gave up their trip because they would meet with many difficulties on the way.D. Their trip would be very difficult because there would be many difficulties on the way.8.

The spelling of English has always been a problem but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. Then people could spell words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn’t made until the time of the late Qing Dynasty. Three men did most of the important early work on dictionaries: Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, and James Murray. These men spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries. For them, it wasn’t only a job; it was a wonderful journey of discovery. The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.Murray had never been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one metreunderground. In winter it felt like a barn, he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light into the evening. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, including his two daughters. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It included more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought your English dictionary was big!10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the reading?A.
