At first a place for musicals，the Lyceum soon began to host a lot of different events. Then there were more changes and the theatre was used as a music hall before once again becoming a theatre. And it was during this period，in 1934，that Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ saw her very first pantomime(童话剧) here!‎ The London Palladium Felix Knight would be surprised if you hadn’t heard of this very famous theatre in the West End. In the 1950s，millions of viewers across Britain would watch Saturday Night at the Palladium，a weekly variety show(杂耍表演) televised live from the theatre. Nowadays，the theatre hosts musicals such as The Sound of Music，but it also hosts a number of important events such as the British film awards in 2007.‎ The Globe Theatre ‎“People are likely to overlook the Globe Theatre because it’s not in the West End，”says Jane Campbell. The theatre is a copy of the Elizabethan playhouse that was built in 1599 and where Shakespeare’s plays were written and performed. Every last inch of the rebuilt Globe is authentic(逼真的)，even the fact that it is an openair theatre.‎ The Piccadilly Theatre For Mariella Clark，this theatre is her number one choice. Opened in 1928，it may not be the oldest theatre in the West End，but it is one of the biggest and has certainly made its mark—during its time as a cinema it actually showed the first talking movie ever！“I’d ‎ always thought that theatres put on plays or musicals from day one，”Mariella says，“so I was quite surprised when I first began to realize that they often have quite interesting histories.”‎ ‎21．According to David，the Lyceum Theatre________．‎ A．has a very colourful past B．was used to show movies C．was the favourite of Queen Elizabeth D．offers shows as well as events on stage ‎22．Which theatre could be unpleasant on a rainy day?‎ A．The London Palladium. B．The Piccadilly Theatre.‎ C．The Lyceum Theatre. D．The Globe Theatre.‎ ‎23．Who feels surprised at the history of his or her favourite theatre?‎ A．Mariella.　　　 B．David. C．Felix. D．Jane.‎ B A few days after my dad passed away, I was sorting through the contents of his desk. In a bottom drawer, I found an old, yellowed file folder, which was marked “ Divorce”.‎ I was born in England, in the industrial city of Southampton, where my parents met while working at an electric blanket factory. When I was 7, my dad took a new job with a plastics company, and our British roots were transplanted(移植) to a small town in Wisconsin, the U.S.‎ My father died in 2004, when I was 24. I had lost my mother to brain cancer, when I was 17, and my younger brother, Rory, to a car accident, when I was 19. Alone in America, I was single, with little desire to get married or have children.‎ Then, by accident, I found that folder. My father had been married before he met my mother, I learned. And he had two other sons from that marriage. I had two half-brothers that had been kept secret form me. When I travelled to England and first met Arthur and Harry, I recognized them. Still, the question puzzled me: Why had my dad kept Arthur and Harry hidden for so long?‎ At the time my dad’s previous marriage fell apart, in the mid-1960s, divorce was a stain (污点) on the family name. My parents’ generation felt they had no choice: It was the conventional nuclear family or nothing.‎ My brothers aren’t all that I found. Harry and his partner, Rose, have two children. The first time little Charlie called me “ Uncle Will”, I thought my heart would open and all the pain I’d been holding inside, ever since my mom died, would come flooding out.‎ I see in my niece and nephew as a continuation of the family line. The family they grow up in will look rather different than any my parents could have imagined—and will be all the stronger for it. Now I am also getting ready for my new life.‎ ‎24．Seeing the file folder, the author must have felt_________.‎ A. excited B. proud C. familiar D. curious ‎25．According to the text, the author’s parents ___________.‎ A. died in a car accident B. moved to America in 1987‎ ‎ C. got divorced a few days ago D. worked in a plastics company 26． What’s the influence of Harry’s family on the author?‎ ‎ A. It has reminded him of the pain of losing his parents.‎ B. He will consider having only one child in the future.‎ C. It has helped him rebuild his confidence in marriage.‎ D. He will move back to Southampton for the rest of his life.‎ ‎27．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Lost and found B. A forever secret ‎ C. My half-brothers D. Love and marriage C As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.‎ Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.‎ All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.‎ It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.‎ ‎“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”‎ ‎“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”‎ Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?‎ Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的)value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”‎ To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.‎ ‎28．The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.‎ A. getting dependent on B. getting bored with ‎ C. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about ‎29．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because ___________.‎ A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China ‎30．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?‎ A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.‎ B. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.‎ C. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.‎ D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting ‎31．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?‎ A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.‎ B. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.‎ C. To Type or to Handwrite.‎ D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.‎ D About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! ‎ There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green － a strange world indeed.‎ Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”(人眼圆锥细胞）. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”（棒条体）, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.‎ Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.‎ ‎32．The passage is mainly about _____________.‎ A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than men C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness ‎33．According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.‎ A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow ‎34．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?‎ A. Women are more careful . ‎ B. There are fewer color-blind women C. Women are fonder of driving than men. ‎ D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.‎ ‎35．Which of the statements about the color- blind is True?‎ A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.‎ B. None of them can see deep red.‎ C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.‎ D. All of them see everything in shades of green.‎ 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。‎ How to develop courage by overcoming daily fears At times, when it comes to courage, we tend to believe it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn’t just mean doing heroic acts. 36_ _. In fact, where there is fear on a daily basis, there are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.‎ Recognize your fears.‎ By realizing that you’re fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is. __37___,you might come to understand that you’re afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don’t have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on (老想着)your fear, but rather to understand what it is that you’re worried about.‎ Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.‎ If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: what’s the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not. Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal. Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. 38 ___.‎ Take action.‎ ‎ 39 . You cannot think courage comes just in one day. You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. ‎ Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery. You are able to move decisively forward. ‎ A. Share your fears with others B. Practice, practice and practice C. So you are already in a comfort zone D. Courage comes from taking action E. When you take no action, you surely get nowhere F. Finding out what is truly holding you back G. You needn’t wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.‎ 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） 阅读下面的短文，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。‎ With his leg lame and his teeth uneven, the boy thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world.
