One day one fellow met the great philosopher and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”‎ ‎“Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.”. “Triple filter?”. “That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test.‎ The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” “No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”. “All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t know if it’s true or not.‎ Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” . “No, on the contrary…”. “So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but you’re not certain it’s true.‎ You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?” “No, not really.”‎ ‎“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”‎ Well we can always participate in loose talks to curb our boredom. But when it comes to your friends it’s not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your near and dear friends.‎ ‎（ ）24. Why did Socrates stop the fellow when he wanted to tell him about his friend?‎ A. Because he didn’t know the fellow.‎ B. Because he wanted to tell the fellow something first.‎ C. Because he knew the fellow wouldn’t tell him something useful.‎ D. Because he wanted the fellow to think twice before speaking.‎ ‎（ ）25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Socrates was a great philosopher in Ancient Greece.‎ B. The fellow wanted to tell Socrates something bad about his friend. ‎ C. Socrates was curious to hear what the fellow wanted to tell him.‎ D. It’s not a good idea to gossip about our friends behind the back.‎ ‎（ ）26.What does the underlined “curb” mean in the last paragraph? [来源:学。科。网]‎ A. increase B. describe C. reduce D. hide C Although the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have English as an official language, the United States does not have an official language. This is how it’s possible to become a US citizen without speaking English. Canada also has French as an official language, though it is mostly spoken in the province of Quebec. Because many of the English speakers who originally inhabited(居住) Canada came from the US, there is little difference in the American and Canadian dialects of English. Similarly, Australian and New Zealand English have few differences, except Australia was originally settled as a penal colony(流放地) and New Zealand was not.[来源:学&科&网Z&X&X&K]‎ British colonialism has spread English all over the world, and it still holds prestige(影响力) in South Africa, India, and Singapore, among other nations. In South Africa, English became an official language, along with Afrikaans and 9 African languages, in the 1996 constitution(宪法). However, only 3% of the country's 30 million people are native English speakers. Twenty percent are descendants(后代) of Dutch farmers who speak Afrikaans, and the rest are native Africans.‎ India became independent from Britain in 1947, and the English language was supposed to be phased out(淘汰) by 1965. However, today English and Hindi are the official languages. Indian English is characterized(具有…的特征) by treating mass nouns as count nouns, frequent use of the "isn’t it?" tag, use of more compounds, and a different use of prepositions. In Singapore, Chinese, Malay and Indian languages have an effect on the form of English spoken. Everyone is taught English in the school system, but there are a few differences from British English as well. Mass nouns are treated as count nouns, “use to” means usually, and no articles(冠词) are used before occupations(职业).‎ ‎( ) 27. Why can people become a US citizen without speaking English?‎ A. Different languages are spoken in the US. ‎ B. The US doesn’t have an official language.‎ C. They can speak their own language there. ‎ D. They can learn English there.‎ ‎( ) 28. Compared with Australian English, the English spoken by New Zealanders .‎ A. is closer to American English B. is a kind of old English C. is very similar in many ways D. is different from British English ‎( )29. What do we know about South Africa?‎ A. It has 11 different official languages.‎ B. English is its only official language.‎ C. 20 percent of its people are native English speakers. ‎ D. English is becoming less important there.‎ ‎( ) 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The Indians are poor with English grammar.‎ B. Singaporean English is similar to Indian English.‎ C. People in Singapore tend to misuse count nouns.‎ D. English is a required subject in Singaporean schools.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。 ‎ Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 31      ‎ Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease,‎ ‎ and make friends with them quickly.     First of all, good talkers ask questions. 32 One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters — sometimes to really personal questions. 33      Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. 34 If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.     Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." 35 Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.‎ A. You can become a popular person.‎ B. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.‎ C. These people have something in common.‎ D. Real listening at least means some things.‎ E. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret.‎ F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.‎ G. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.来源:‎ 第三部分 语言运用（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）‎ One day, I was preparing for an important exam in the library and people kept disturbing me.

It promised to be a highlight of their young lives The father and mother were at the head of the line, standing proud as they could be.
