It is only just open but it deserves a place in the top 10 prison visits in the world. A colleague who stayed there for political reasons showed me his former room. The inside story of some of the escapes added greatly to the visit Maybe, they could use former prisoners as guides.‎ Thursday: Belfast was shining brightly in the sun as we took a tour which celebrates the musical heritage of the city. The music was played in the wrong order---Van Morrison when it should be Francie Mcpeake, Ronnie Carroll when it should be Ruby Murray, but it all added to the experience.‎ Friday: The roads to Dublin Airport were empty, giving a holidaymaker a false sense of comfort. The terminal(航空站)was in a terrible mess. Flight EI151 had a very small number of tourists arguing loudly with each other and demanding passengers exchange seats so large groups could be together. We arrived into London Heathrow Terminal One. A nice woman guided me to the bus for Southampton. I set off to see a cruise(航游) ship.‎ Saturday: The cruise ships were big. They lined up a series of three, Solstice, Equinox, Eclipse; They wanted us to think of them as sunny.‎ ‎ This was the start of a new route to the Caribbean. Travel agents were lined up at the martini ‎ bar and there was a black-tie dinner to attend. But I didn’t think it applied to me.‎ ‎21. What did the author do on Wednesday?‎ A. He visited a prison B. He worked as a guide C. He went to see a colleague D. He stayed with a former roommate ‎22. How does the author think about his trip from Dublin to London? ‎ A. Very nice B. Unpleasant C. Frightening D. Comfortable ‎23. On which day did the author attend music performances?‎ A. Wednesday B. Thursday C. Friday D. Saturday B ‎ To tell the truth, my house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.‎ ‎ If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.‎ ‎ Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console(控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. ‎ ‎ The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.‎ ‎ I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today. ‎ ‎ I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, "How will I live without them?"‎ ‎24．What does the passage mainly discuss?‎ A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.‎ C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.‎ ‎25．What can’t be done in the writer’s new house according to the passage?‎ A. Turning on the lights. B. Going swimming.‎ C. Getting a telephone call. D. Playing music.‎ ‎26．The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _______.‎ A. it has your favorite music following you B. you can make a telephone call anywhere C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice D. it has been controlled by computers ‎27．What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?‎ A. An IT expert B. A famous doctor C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher C ‎ It is surprising that no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.‎ ‎ Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.‎ ‎ Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The ‎ position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can.‎ ‎ Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.‎ ‎28．It can be inferred from the latest survey that________.‎ A. hospital teaching across the country is similar ‎ B. each hospital has at least one part-time teacher C. all hospitals surveyed offer education to children ‎ D. only one-fourth of the hospitals have a full-time teacher ‎29．Hospital teachers are found________.‎ A. not welcomed by the children and their parents B. necessary C. not welcomed by the hospitals D. capable ‎30．To catch up with their school work, children in hospital usually turn to________.‎ A. hospital teachers B. parents C. schoolmates D. school teachers ‎ ‎31．We can conclude from the passage that the author is________.‎ A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals B. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals C. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching D. satisfied with the results of the latest survey D ‎ Can you define great art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decides? ‎ ‎ These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack (平庸的) writers with little or no literary ability. ‎ ‎ Similarly, Van Gogh and many of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth ‎ century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the "real" painters of the time, and often they were very poor. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called "real" painters are now barely remembered.‎ ‎ So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cartoons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situation today. ‎ ‎ Critics often don’t recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art. ‎ ‎ But popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. The other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently (内在的) beautiful.‎ ‎ Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure. ‎ ‎32．The first paragraph is intended to__________.‎ A. lead to the following and arouse the reader’s curiosity B. introduce some real painters to the readers C. introduce the questions the writer wants to answer ‎ D. explain what kind of art will become popular ‎33．The author used the examples of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to prove _____.‎ A. these masters’ works have some shortcomings B. these masters wouldn’t have been so successful without the critics C. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created ‎ D. great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive ‎34．According to the author, great works _______.‎ ‎ A. may be presented in different forms B. are generally valued by critics ‎ C. are thought valuable because of their sale price D. will lose their value if they’re not accepted ‎35．What can be inferred from the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Critics have changed their attitudes to great works. ‎ B. Most of the opinions of critics are valueless.‎ C. The work of art itself, not the critics, determines its greatness.‎ D. Works of Impressionist painters will be great one day.‎ 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。‎ We’ve all experienced peer pressure. It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. 36 .‎ It’s hard to be the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? 37 . If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”‎ Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. 38 . You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.‎ ‎ 39 . You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. 40 . ‎ A. Choose your friends carefully.‎ B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.‎ C. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.‎ D. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.‎ E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.‎ F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.‎ G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to.‎ 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。‎ Last Saturday, a son of my friend was invited to a “No gifts" birthday party. He 41 to attend it as told and not bring a gift. At the door, he was 42 by a lovable birthday child whose little face fell as she asked him, “Didn’t you bring a gift?” while 43 a table full of presents behind her. Everyone else had 44 something anyway!‎ ‎ Having learned that 45 , the boy brought a small gift to the next “No gifts” party. This time all other guests said that the invitation had 46 stated no gifts, and he was making everyone look 47 . Ack!‎ ‎ When the next “No gift” 48 arrives, what should he do? “I will not 49 rather than continue to get it 50 ,” he told me. Clearly, no good can come from ___51___it.‎ ‎ Perhaps, doing as 52 is a useful way if you are told “ 53 ” and decide to go the 54 anyway. And if this meets with a 55 child, try saying, “I’m so sorry, but your 56 told me not to bring anything.” While it won’t feel 57 in the moment to destroy the 58 of a lovable child, doing so may teach him two invaluable lessons: never to 59 presents---- and never to let his parents make 60 requests on his behalf that they don’t intend to honor.‎ ‎41. A. pretended B. hesitated C. decided D. continued ‎ ‎42. A. met B. followed C. guided D. joined ‎ ‎43. A. looking for B. waving at C. pointing to D. dealing with ‎44.
