Many of them are true Cockneys. This means they were born in the heart of London and speak their own special dialect(方言）of English. All of them know every street and famous building in the city, and all of them love to talk. A simple twenty-minute journey across town can become very interesting. You may have a discussion about the government and its leaders or a friendly talk about the driver's Aunty Nellie! One thing is for sure, it will never be boring. Cabbies know all the latest news about film stars, the Royal Family, government leaders, and popular singers or actors and actresses.‎ They also know the best places to eat, shop and relax. And they can take you straight to any large hotel, department store, theatre or museum. They know the shortest way possible without even looking at a map, because everyone who wants to become a taxi driver must pass a very difficult examination in order ‎ to get a license to drive a taxi. The exam is called "The Knowledge." It is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the shortest way from one place to another. They must take into account the time of day --in rush hour, a longer route（路线）may be quicker -- and describe the best way. Moreover they must never forget the one-way streets!‎ ‎21. From what can we tell that someone is a Cockney?‎ A. Their interest.    B. Their manners.‎ C. Their speech.    D. Their appearance.‎ ‎22.What does the author suggest by mentioning "Aunty Nellie” in paragraph 2?‎ A. Passengers are full of curiosity.‎ B. Cabbies' topics are wide-ranging.‎ C. Aunty Nellie is popular in London.‎ D .Londoners are friendly to each other.‎ ‎23.What is the purpose of "The Knowledge"?‎ A. To qualify one to drive a taxi.   B. To assess one's driving skills.‎ C. To test drivers' ability to write.  D. To check taxi drivers' memory.‎ B Living in the wild can be hard．Finding food and staying safe aren't easy．Each day, animals struggle to survive in their habitats．Not all animals get by on their own．Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals．These pairings are called symbiotic(共生的)relationships．‎ ‎　　In a symbiotic relationship, the animals depend on each other．One animal helps the other meet its needs．Sounds good, right?Not always．Some animals are not very kind to their partners．In some cases, one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner．Take ticks, for example．These insects suck blood to live．To get blood, they attach themselves to other kinds of animals．Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping ‎ their hosts．‎ ‎　　In other relationships, animals don't treat their partners so poorly．Both animals benefit from living with the other animal．‎ ‎　　Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs．As their name suggests, the shrimps clean the fish．They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station．A fish stops by．Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fish's mouth．The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fish's body．That can include dead skin, tiny pieces of food, and wee creatures that can hurt the fish．The fish gets a nice cleaning．The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash．‎ ‎　　Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business．They have big customers－crocodiles．Crocs have long snouts(鼻子)filled with sharp teeth．Cleaning them is tricky．When a croc opens its mouth, the plover hops right in．The croc does not snap its snout shut．Instead, it lets the plover eat small, harmful animals attached to the crocodile's teeth．The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth．‎ ‎24 The text is mainly about ________．‎ A．the hard life in the wild B．some dangerous animals C．animals living together D．animals in a symbiotic relationship ‎25. According to the text, in a symbiotic relationship, ________．‎ A．animals depend on each other B． birds depend on animals for food C． both sides can get help D． not all animals treat their partners well ‎26. When plovers hop into crocodiles' mouths, they ________．‎ A． are really to clean crocodiles' teeth B．are to make crocodiles happy C．aren't afraid of being eaten D．aren't happy to clean the crocodiles' teeth ‎27. According to the text, it can be inferred that ________．‎ A． living in the wild can be hard B． different animals have different living ways C． crocodiles mainly live on plovers D． ticks are useful to some animals ‎ C Sweetest Day in America is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.‎ Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.‎ Over 60 years ago, a man in Cleveland, believing that the city's orphans and shutins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, thought of the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.‎ Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious affection or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of giftgiving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way. ‎ ‎28. We can learn from the first paragraph that Sweetest Day is ________.‎ A．sometimes the third Saturday in October B．hardly celebrated in Detroit C．of equal importance in every part of the USA D．getting increasingly popular in the USA ‎29. Sweetest Day was intended to remember ________.‎ A．the young and disabled B．friends and relatives C．orphans and shutins D．the sick and aged ‎30. We can infer from the passage that the birthplace of Sweetest Day is ________.‎ A．Detroit　　　　 　　 　 B．Cleveland C．Buffalo D．Washington ‎31. Now on Sweetest Day gifts are given to those ________.‎ A．we care B．we admire C．in need of help D．in troubleD It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.‎ According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.‎ Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.‎ Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气), and go early in the morning before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run ‎ is best.‎ ‎32.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?‎ A. They can run more slowly.‎ B. They can take in more calories.‎ C. Their hearts can function harder.‎ D. Their body temperature can get lower.‎ ‎33.How does summer affect runners?‎ A. It builds up their energy quickly.‎ B. It makes runners tired easily.‎ C. It lessens runners’ stress.‎ D. It causes heart attack.‎ ‎34.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?‎ A. Stop driving cars. B. Do more exercise.‎ C. Avoid outdoor exercise. D. Run late in the morning.‎ ‎35. What can be the best title of the text?‎ A. Refresh yourself with a winter run B . Take outdoor exercise in summer ‎ C. Go to run in a park D. Follow the tips to reduce stress 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分60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。‎ My brother Gene was four years older than me.
