Clive and Rose Restall live in their rented home in southwest England with their twenty-one pet guinea pigs (豚鼠). The owners of the house, Plymouth Community Homes (PCH), say the couple has too many pets in the house. PCH want Mr. and Mrs. Restall to get rid of the guinea pigs. A spokesperson from the PCH said the number of animals in the couple's house is unacceptable. The spokesperson added that the number of pets is not allowed in the contract the couple signed to rent the house. The PCH warned Mr. and Mrs. Restall that they must move out of the house if they do not get rid of the guinea pigs.‎ Mr. Restall, 57, said he needs his guinea pigs because they have helped him fight cancer. Doctors told him he had cancer in 2010. Soon after, he bought several guinea pigs to help take his mind off his cancer. He said his new pets made him happy again because they made him forget about his cancer. He told reporters that his guinea pigs are mystic ― they have special powers to help people. He said the animals have even helped his neighbours with personal problems. Mr. Restall spoke about his pets, saying, ＂They've helped me through my cancer. They've helped me cope.＂ He added, ＂The local community love them just as much as I do. I sometimes loan them out to people if they need someone to talk to.＂‎ ‎24. Mr. and Mrs. Restall could lose their rented home because ____________.‎ A. there are too many guinea pigs in their home B. the owners want them to kill the guinea pigs C. the animals in the couple's house is unacceptable D. they don't want to let go of their pets ‎25. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Mr. Restall had cancer at 57.‎ B. The guinea pigs helped Mr. Restall feel relieved.‎ C. Mr. Restall's neighbours are tired of the guinea pigs.‎ D. Guinea pigs can cure people of cancer.‎ ‎26. What does the word ＂loan＂ in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Send. B. Keep. C. Lend. D. Take.‎ ‎27. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. We can fight with cancer with pets.‎ B. We should treat our pets well.‎ C. A couple might lose their home if they hold on to their pets.‎ D. Pets are our friends.‎ C Standing in line for the latest iPhone at the Apple store, queuing for tickets to the match or even just waiting at the post office might just have got a lot easier.‎ Japanese car-maker Nissan announces that it has just the thing to relieve the painful legs of tired queuers.‎ The new system of self-driving chairs is designed to detect when someone at the front of the queue is called, and automatically move everyone else one step forward in line.‎ The new invention is shown in a company video, which shows a busy restaurant with customers waiting outside. In the video, diners are sitting in a row of chairs, but will not have to stand when the next hungry diner is called to a table. Instead, the chairs, equipped with autonomous technology that detects the seat ahead, move along a path toward the front of the line. When the person at the front of the queue is called, the empty chair at the front can sense it is empty and so moves out of line. Cameras on the remaining chairs then sense the movement and follow automatically.‎ ‎＂The system, which is similar to the kind used in Nissan's autonomous vehicle technology, will be tested at select restaurants in Japan this year,＂ Nissan said. ＂It appeals to anyone who has queued for hours outside a crowded restaurant: it rids the boredom and physical pain of standing in line,＂ Nissan added.‎ Although Tokyo has some 160,000 restaurants, long queues are not uncommon. Chosen restaurants that meet the criteria will be able to show the chairs outside their restaurants next year. Nissan also released a short video showing the chairs being used in an art gallery, moving slowly in front of the various paintings to let viewers appreciate the art without the need to stand up.[来源:学&科&网]‎ ‎28. When does the empty chair leave the line?‎ ‎ A. It feels no person in it. B. The queue is too long.‎ ‎ C. The remaining chairs follow it. D. The camera on it doesn't work.‎ ‎29. What's Nissan's attitude to the future of self-driving chairs?‎ ‎ A. Negative B. Optimistic C. Doubtful D. Neutral ‎30. From the last paragraph we know that _______.‎ ‎ A. queuing is a rare scene outside Japanese restaurants ‎ B. Japanese people prefer eating in restaurants to at home ‎ C. self-driving chairs will be used in all art galleries in Japan.‎ ‎ D. self-driving chairs haven't been used widely in restaurants in Japan.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. How to use self-driving chairs B. How to queue in self-driving chairs ‎ C. Self-driving chairs make queuing less painful D. Self-driving chairs is becoming popular D People are being attracted to Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.‎ Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal information is worth.‎ The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.‎ According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a ＂less satisfying experience＂.‎ Some people think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which was about selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?‎ The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.‎ I think that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I'm considering stopping using it. Facebook is a convenient site, but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know. That's too high a price to pay. ‎ ‎32. According to the text, Facebook is ____________.‎ A. losing more customers B. becoming a more useful site ‎ C. improving its service gradually D. stealing and selling users' information ‎ ‎33. At the beginning Facebook's business model includes selling ____________.‎ A. its service B. ads C. its products D. personal information ‎34. Why do Facebook make changes to its rule?‎ A. To provide better service to its users. 　 B. To follow the Federal guidelines. ‎ C. To encourage its users' communication. D. To gain its users' more personal information. ‎ ‎35. What is the author's attitude toward Facebook?‎ A. Admirable. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Supportable. ‎ 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。‎ You'd think the human race would have understood sleeping very well by now, but many of us are still sleeping poorly. Part of the problem is that we have wrong information and beliefs about this important health need. Let's set the facts straight. 36 ‎ ‎1. More sleep is better for you.‎ There could be such a thing as too much sleep. The amount of sleep we need varies by person and also changes as we age. Harvard researchers found that a lot of sleep (9 hours or more) is linked with poor sleep quality. ______37______ Aim for better sleep.‎ ‎2. 38 ‎ Alcohol can help most people fall asleep. However, it also can cause you to wake up more during the night, decreasing your sleep quality. Consider drinking non-alcoholic drink before bed instead.‎ ‎3. If you wake up in the middle of the night, lie in bed until you eventually fall back asleep.‎ ‎ 39 We all hope to quickly fall back asleep. So we tend to stay in bed hoping it'll happen at any minute now. If that doesn't happen, though, within 15 minutes, most experts recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without overstimulating us. Try not to check the clock either.‎ ‎4. You can catch up on sleep on weekends.‎ When we lose sleep during the week, we accumulate a kind of sleep ＂debt＂. 40 Not so fast. This might actually make you sleepier the next week. Instead of waking up later on the weekends, you'd better go to sleep earlier or perhaps take a nap in the afternoon.‎ A. Alcohol helps you sleep.‎ B. Here are some things you might have been told about sleeping but aren't completely true.‎ C. Everyone should get 7—8 hours of sleep per night.‎ D. So don't aim for more sleep — even on the weekends.‎ E. Waking up in the middle of the night is the pits (烦心事), but it happens to all of us.‎ F. You'll have a better day and perhaps sleep better at night.‎ G. Can you pay that debt back by sleeping on Saturday or Sunday?‎ ‎ ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The family had had a cat for years.

In your last letter you asked me about the out-of-class reading of the students in our school.‎ ‎    As you’d expected, we senior high school students spend less time on out-of-class reading as the grade rises. With our grade becoming higher, we have more homework to do, thus leaving less spare time for reading. ‎ ‎    As far as I’m concerned, it is of great importance for us to do more reading to broaden our horizons. Meanwhile, I’d like to recommend you read Journey to the West, one of the most famous novels in China, which is a mythological novel based on many centuries of popular tradition. I’m convinced that you will like it and you’re welcome to exchange ideas with me after reading it.‎ ‎     Best wishes to you!‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua 听力原文 Text 1‎ M: I’m very sorry, Mrs Lamb.
