He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I thought that he would ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: “Your car is very nice”.‎ After several moments of silence, I replied: “Thanks”, and then the inner voice told me, “Ask him if he needs help”. After a short hesitation I asked him if he needed any help. His response was astonishing. I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: —“Don’t we all?”‎ It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.‎ Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money we have, we all need help. On the other hand, no matter how poor you are and how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others and you still might be giving. Even it’s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other persons.‎ Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me to open my eyes and to show me that there is one thing, among all other values, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.‎ ‎24. The underlined word “bum” in Paragraph 1 can be a person _______.‎ A. who needs money B. who is a homeless man C. who is willing to help others D. who is sent by the Highest Loving Power ‎25. Why did the writer give enough money to the man?‎ A. The writer had enough money to help. B. He needed money to eat and have a rest.‎ C. His words gave the writer deep thoughts. D. The writer is kind and always helps others.‎ ‎26. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?‎ A. Not everyone needs help. B. Giving is as important as receiving.‎ C.The rich should help the poor. D. A helping and touching word can help others.‎ ‎27. What did the writer probably get from the man?‎ A. True meaning of giving. B. True meaning of being rich.‎ C. True meaning of values. D. True meaning of gifts.‎ ‎ C Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of most Native American tribes. To Native Americans, wolves often represent bravery. The animals also are signs of strength, loyalty, and success at hunting. Other cultures—such as the ancient Celtic and Nordic peoples—also placed high value on wolves.‎ ‎ However, from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in children’‎ s stories, wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚) in both literature and English expressions. To begin with, there is the term lone wolf. The lone wolf isn’t a bad person. But they like to do things on their own. However, the term can mean something less than desirable. Lone wolf makes you think the person doesn’t want to be around people because he or she dislikes them.‎ ‎ Now, let’s move on to the home.‎ ‎ Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food. In other words, the child eats very quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal. A wolf at the door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door.‎ ‎ By the way, there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop, the ancient Greek storyteller.‎ ‎ The first is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside.‎ ‎ Aesop’s other wolf fable also involves a shepherd, but not a hardworking one. He is known as the boy who cried wolf. People who cry wolf are not trusted. People are so familiar with this story, you simply have to say cry wolf for them to know what you mean.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, which group of people may think wolves are bad animals?‎ ‎ A. The ancient Nordic people. B. The ancient Celtic people.‎ ‎ C. Native Americans. D. The English people.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can describe a person who often acts alone?‎ ‎ A. A wild wolf. B. A lone wolf.‎ ‎ C. A wolf at the door. D. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.‎ ‎30. What may you probably mean by saying someone cries wolf?‎ ‎ A. The person is selfish. B. The person is a liar.‎ ‎ C. The person is stubborn. D. The person is a troublemaker.‎ ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Stories about wolves. B. The research on wolves.‎ ‎ C. Expressions about wolves. D. The cultural differences about wolves.‎ D Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.‎ In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast，but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London，Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.‎ At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot， and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.‎ The worst time to be in the street is at 11：30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.‎ During the day，most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.‎ ‎ In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.‎ ‎32. Tokyo is different from London in that ________　　 .‎ A. there are many traffic jams B. nightclubs are sometimes empty C. wherever I want to be, it’s too crowded D. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot ‎33. According to the passage, Japanese trains_________ 　　.‎ A. are always punctual ‎ B. often delay at most situations C. are crowded because they are often late D. are the last means people use to travel to and from work ‎ ‎34. What is the story mainly about？‎ A. The writer’s impression of Tokyo. ‎ B. The reasons why the writer loves Tokyo.‎ C. Different means of transportation in Tokyo.‎ D. Many surprises that Tokyo has brought to the writer.‎ ‎35. Fires break out _______in Tokyo according to the writer.‎ A. very seldom B. quite frequently C. three times a day D. the most often in the world ‎ ‎ ‎ 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。‎ ‎ While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. 36 ‎ ‎ Try physical activity.‎ ‎ 37 Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.‎ ‎ Make time for yourself.‎ ‎ Arrange time for both work and fun. Don’t forget, play can be just as important as your overall well-being as work. 38 Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.‎ ‎ Take care of yourself.‎ ‎ 39 If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should go to see ‎ a doctor.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ ‎ Stress can result form disorganization and a feeling that “ there’s so much to do, not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, than do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.‎ A. Make a list of things to do.‎ B. Do whatever you like and want to do. ‎ C. You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day.‎ D.

You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.‎ G. When you are nervous, angry or upset, try reducing the pressure through exercise or physical ‎ activity. ‎ 第三部分　英语知识运用(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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13.

First of all, I want to teach because I like the two long vacations, which offers me an opportunity to reflection, research and writing.Secondly,Ilike so much to be with middle school students. Most of the students at that age are full of energy and I am sure their passion would pass on to me. I will continue to have all the fun of adolescence.The most important reason is that I think teaching is a meaningful job. Seeing the students growing and changing in front of me will give me a sense of achievement and happiness.‎ But teaching is not an easy job. Therefore I must study hard to acquire more knowledge. And at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of man’s soul.‎ ‎ Thanks for listening.‎
