But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.‎ Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run into his house and hide under a table.‎ I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the ‎ shelter into the rain and started to go home.‎ When I was about two hundred meters from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened（震聋） me. Howard stopped walking and began whining(哀鸣). Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!‎ ‎21．The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that ___________.‎ ‎ A. Howard had a strange behavior ‎ B. Howard should be afraid of the metal poles ‎ C. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightning ‎ D. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth ‎22．Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.‎ ‎ B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.‎ ‎ C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.‎ ‎ D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.‎ ‎23. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?‎ ‎ A. It was about 200 meters from the author’s home.‎ ‎ B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.‎ ‎ C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.‎ D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning.‎ B Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.‎ Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.‎ Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”‎ Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.‎ People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.‎ BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.‎ ‎24．Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ A. To explain what they are. ‎ B. To introduce BookCrossing.‎ C. To stress the importance of reading. ‎ D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.‎ ‎25．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?‎ A. The book. B. An adventure. ‎ C. A public place. D. The identification number.‎ ‎26．What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?‎ A. Meet other readers to discuss it. ‎ B. Keep it safe in his bookcase. ‎ C. Pass it on to another reader. ‎ D. Mail it back to its owner.‎ ‎27．What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour ‎ B. Electronic Books: A new Trend ‎ C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back ‎ D. A Website Links People through Books ‎【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ C Stephen Hawking is perhaps the world’s most famous living physicist. To the public, he’s best known as an author of bestsellers such as The Universe in a Nutshell and A Brief History of Time, which have brought an appreciation of theoretical (理论上的) physics to millions. He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.‎ In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the news that he might die young from motor neurone (运动神经元) disease made him focus on his work.‎ Professor Hawking said, “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was brighter than me.” He said that he was common at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was very bad in the teachers’ eyes,” he said. “But my classmates gave me the name Einstein, so probably they saw signs of something better.”‎ But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that he began to focus on his work, which resulted in some of his early achievements. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.” Hawking serves as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where he continues to contribute to both high-level physics and the popular understanding of our universe.‎ ‎28．When Stephen Hawking studied in Oxford University, he was ________ .‎ A. clever B. lazy C. bright D. mean ‎29．What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?‎ A. Patience. B. Knowledge.‎ C. Disease. D. Laziness.‎ ‎30．From whom did Hawking get a fair judgment when he was at school?‎ A. His sister. B. His classmates.‎ C. His teachers. D. His parents.‎ ‎31．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Hawking didn’t realize his dreams in physics.‎ B. Hawking succeeded in overcoming the fear of an early death.‎ C. The purpose of the doctor was to encourage him to work hard.‎ D. The doctor warned Hawking that his life might be taken away by hard work.‎ D The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.‎ History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.‎ In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.‎ Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.‎ ‎32．According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?‎ ‎ A. It introduces different cultural values.‎ ‎ B. It explains the history of artistic works.‎ C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.‎ D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.‎ ‎33．In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____ .‎ A. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries B. history gives art works special appeal to set them apart C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures ‎34．According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____.‎ A .they are results of scientific study B. they establish some general principles of art C. they are created by the world’s greatest artists D. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature ‎35．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?‎ A. Are Artistic Values Universal?‎ B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?‎ C. Is Human Nature Uniform?‎ D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ In today’s busy and competitive world, we all lead incredibly stressful lives. When stress becomes overwhelming, it can affect our mood and productivity. 36 The good news is that it is manageable and can be reduced, or even relieved completely.‎ Enter the world of books. Feeling stressed out? Pick up your favorite book and leave the reality and worries behind. It is the most effective way to relax and overcome stress. 37 Getting lost in a book before bedtime can calm your mind and prepare your body for a good night’s sleep.‎ Connect with people. Another way to successfully beat stress is meeting with friends. Friends and loved ones are important to any healthy lifestyle. If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed and just can’t seem to shake it off, call your best friend or a member of your family and talk to them. 38 ‎ Walk it off. You can also effectively relieve yourself of stress by simply taking a walk around your neighborhood. 39 There’s a whole new world up there that you never seem to notice while rushing to work or talking to someone. Take a moment to admire a new building or a balcony somewhere high up that reminds you of a castle from your favorite movie. Enjoy your time alone and seize every moment of it.‎ ‎ 40 Nothing brings you back on track like a good laughter. It is the most powerful antidote(良方) to stress and it brings joy into your life. Laughing brings people together and drives away all stress-related problems as if they never existed. It is absolutely the best medicine there is, and it will keep you both physically and emotionally healthy.‎ A. Laugh it off.‎ B. Take some medicine.‎ C. As you walk, remember to look up.‎ D. Reading may also help you sleep better.‎ E. Your hobby could be reading books, or even writing one.‎ F. But most importantly, it can affect our physical and mental health.‎ G. The conversation with a close person will immediately make you feel better.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ Presently selfie (自拍) is popular among many young persons, even some elders.
