The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchairs(折叠帆布躺椅). Today, it’s more richly decorated.‎ ‎    “People come here because it’s a fantastic experience,” says manager Philip Jones. “Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive,but we try to remain everything that makes it special. ’’‎ The Cube, Bristol ‎    It’s not really a cinema. It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers,which has been operating for the last 15 years.‎ ‎    They are “ unique for what we do,which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding. ’’ They make many things themselves,such as cola and yogurt.‎ The Broadway, Nottingham ‎    A cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films,which heavily influenced his career choice. Later,he designed the stripy(条纹的) sofas.‎ ‎    The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent,art house,and DIY spirit. The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer.‎ The Rex, Hertfordshire ‎    It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. There's a varied programme with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call.‎ ‎    People speak very highly of the Rex. So do go, if only once,to see just how a cinema should be run.‎ ‎21.In Philip Jones’ opinion, the Kinema may attract people who ______. A.live in the nearby villages B.are fond of rich decorations C.are interested in wooden structures D.want to experience something special 22.We know from the text that the Broadway ______. A.was built in 1960 B.owns a ‎ restaurant C.is next to a church D.was designed by Paul Smith 23.Which of the following has the longest history? A.The Kinema. B.The Cube. C.The Broadway. D.The Rex.‎ B ‎  Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames .Some people called him Bagamo.They said his mouth looked like a large bag.Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.‎ ‎  Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians.Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth.Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.” ‎ Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy’s home.In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River.At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians.Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.‎ ‎  In 1922 he went to Chicago.There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins.From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went.Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.‎ ‎  His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.‎ ‎24.Armstrong was called Pops because he ______.‎ A.looked like a musician B.was a musician of much influence C.showed an interest in music D.traveled to play modern music ‎25.The third paragraph is developed ______.‎ A.by space B.by examples C.by time D.by comparison ‎26.Which statement about Armstrong is true?‎ A.His tale begins in New Orleans.

At the same time,costs to grow the crop(庄稼) are increasing. Farmers arc not sure who to ask for help. Many of them are having a difficult lime this year. Some of them may not even make enough money to pay their costs to grow the crop.‎ ‎    Lung Chai is a rice farmer in Chiang Mai. He says the situation has affected all farmers. He says he is losing money, but does not know who to talk to about it. “No one would hear our voice,” he says.‎ ‎    Thailand faces strong competition for rice exports(出口) from India and Vietnam. This is partly because of lower pay in neighboring countries and large expected harvests this year.‎ ‎    A recent study paid for by the Bank of Thailand said Thai farmers should be trained to portend market changes, so that they would know what to do next. Singhachai Boonyayotin is a senior director of the Bank of Thailand. He said Thailand should produce other products besides white rice to compete with Vietnam and Cambodia.‎ ‎    Wachirajak Nin-khuntod wanted to help his father who is a rice farmer. He began selling crops on the Internet as a way to increase income. He said, "My parents didn’t believe that I would be able to sell rice on social media, as most farmers believe we can sell rice to middlemen or rice factories only." Now, he says, his parents know that they can sell their own rice without a middleman.‎ ‎    Perhaps other farmers in Thailand can also do that. It might be a good way to help them out.‎ ‎28.What is troubling Thai rice farmers now? A.Their harvests greatly drop this year. B.They can't find rice factories to sell the crop. C.They are having a difficult time in growing crops. D.They make too little or no money out of their ‎ harvests. 29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “portend” in Paragraph 4? A.predict B.cause C.prevent D.affect 30.How did Wachirajak Nin-khuntod's parents respond to his idea at first? A.They quite doubted it. B.They stopped worrying. C.They greatly supported it. D.They were strongly against it.‎ ‎31.What may be the suggestions to help Thai farmers according to the text?‎ ‎①Selling crops online. ②Growing different kinds of crops.‎ ‎③Reducing crop prices to sell them. ④Gaining information on market changes.‎ ‎⑤Reducing rice exports to other countries.‎ A. ‎①②③ B.①③⑤ C.①②④ D.②③④‎ D ‎  Gallows humor(黑色幽默) may seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you the feeling that everything is okay even when it’s not,” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.‎ ‎    Psychologists say that just because you’re laughing doesn’t mean you’re wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity,departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力) and performance.‎ ‎    “There are a lot of stressors out there,” says Ed Dunkelblau,a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult."‎ ‎    This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people—not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale(士气) in terms of the company would be good humor," says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees’ morale?‎ ‎    You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously. Dr. Guedj says, don't make comments about people's physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.‎ ‎    Or you can take aim at the person that you know won’t be offended(冒犯):Yourself. “If there’s going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led,begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week."‎ ‎    “People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too," Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself."‎ ‎32.According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________. A.reducing pressure B.improving performance C.making people more creative D.leading to a big mistake 33.Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with? A.Gallows humor is the basic source of morale. B.Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others. C.Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose. D.Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor. 34.When people use gallows humor,they should _____. A.observe who is aggressive B.show a sense of belonging C.doubt about the result of humors D.try to avoid irritating others 35.What can we infer from the text? A.People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves. B.Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others. C.People can't avoid offending others with gallows humor. D.People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with.‎ 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。‎ ‎  What do the world's most successful people all have in common?‎ ‎    By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Preffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:‎ ‎    Busy! Busy!‎ ‎    ___36______In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages for those seeking to build power.‎ ‎    Just Say No!‎ ‎    The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much._____37_____And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions(分神).‎ ‎    Know What You Are!‎ ‎    Ignore your weaknesses and keep improving your strengths. Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, focus on and build on your strengths. _____38_____‎ ‎    Create Good Luck!‎ ‎    Luck is not magical there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book The Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right. _____39____By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.‎ ‎    Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “Luck School” to test the ideas—and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased. ____40______‎ A. Spend enough time to improve your weaknesses.‎ B. Achievement requires focus.‎ C. On average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.‎ D. High achievers never stop working and they never lose a minute.‎ E. Busy people are more likely to be lucky.‎ F. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.‎ G. Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (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四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ When Pat Jones finished college, she decided to travel around the world and see as many foreign places as she could   41    she was young.

Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.‎ ‎    First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the ‎ pressure of exams.Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.‎ ‎    We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.‎ Yours sincerely, ‎ Li Hua
