Take a look at some breathtakingly beautiful island countries in the world, which everyone should certainly visit at least once in his lifetime.‎ Malta Malta‎ is a beautiful southern European country in the Mediterranean Sea, which has a rich history and culture. There are amazing sky-high cliffs to climb, splendid temples to explore and lots of wonderful places to go scuba-diving. In fact, there are plenty of interesting things to see and to do in Malta and this island country has something for everyone. The historic part of Malta is shown in its incredible architecture, great walled cities, and many underground tunnels.‎ Fiji Fiji‎ is a fabulous island that has plenty of surprises for any adventurous travelers. It is famous for the world’s best surf scenes, and many surfing enthusiasts travel to Fuji yearly to ride the great waves. Well, if surfing is not for you and you love sitting on the beach and relaxing, hiking or seeing breathtaking waterfalls, Fiji is certainly the best island country to visit.‎ Maldives Not only is Maldives one of the most beautiful island countries, but it is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. Situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Maldives is made up of a series of ancient coral reefs that grow up along the sides of ancient volcanoes, with fascinating beaches and luxurious resorts.‎ ‎21. In Malta, you can____________.‎ ‎ A. see breathtaking waterfalls ‎ B. explore temples and tunnels ‎ C. ride the great waves ‎ D. hike in the hills ‎22. What is the special feature about Fiji?‎ ‎ A. You can take a yacht free in this country.‎ B. There are sky-high cliffs to climb.‎ C. It is surfing enthusiasts’ favorite island country.‎ D. If you once visited it, you wouldn’t like to go there again. ‎ ‎23. If a newly-married couple are looking for the best honeymoon destination, they will choose_________.‎ A. Malta B. Fiji C. the Mediterranean Sea D. Maldives ‎ B A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modern manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone.‎ The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone. Jo Clark, 46, said, “I don't know what she was playing at. I couldn’t believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I won’t be shopping there again!”‎ But users of social media sites and Internet forums(论坛) were very angry that store gave in and the public appeared to be supporting the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on people around you. That includes ‎ people trying to serve you, other road users and especially people behind you in the stairs,” said a typical post.‎ ‎“It’s time checkout staff fought back against these people constantly chatting on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It’s rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone’s phone and throw it as far as I can, even though I am not a checkout girl, just a passer-by,” said another.‎ Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www. Netmums.com said, “While this checkout operator doesn’t have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt. No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”‎ ‎24. According to Jo Clark, the checkout operator_____________.‎ ‎ A. lacked the knowledge of checkout manners B. played with a mobile phone while at work C. deserved praise for her modern manners D. had no right to forbid her from using her mobile phone ‎25. The third and fourth paragraphs imply that the public_________.‎ A. are used to chatting on their mobile phones B. are driven crazy by constant mobile calls C. seem to support the checkout operator D. ignore the existence of mobile phone users ‎26. The attitude of Siobhan Freegard towards the checkout operator was________.‎ A. disapproving B. supportive C. neutral D. indifferent ‎27. The passage is mainly about _________.‎ A. whether we should talk on our phones while being served B. why we can talk on mobile phones while shopping C. what good manners checkout operators should have D. how we can develop good manners for mobile phone users ‎ C In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs(鼻整形手术).The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.‎ Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.‎ Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a Western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.‎ Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”‎ Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”.‎ According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.‎ Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.‎ ‎28. Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation to ____________ .‎ A. marry well B. look cool ‎ C. have a good job D. look like westerners ‎29. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The posters. B. A nose job. ‎ C. The Eiffel Tower. D. A plastic surgery procedure.‎ ‎30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ___________.‎ A. employers are potential customers ‎ B. attractive appearance seems to increase job chances ‎ C. appearance is as important as height and weight D. ads promote the plastic surgery ‎31. From what Mr. Li said we can learn that ____________.‎ A. most families can’t afford the surgeon ‎ B. the number of plastic surgeons is increasing C. patients can be well looked after at the clinic D. their customers are usually from wealthy families ‎ D Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset‎ ‎Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang. ‎ ‎　　The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.  　　The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem. ‎ ‎　　Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other. ‎ Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior. 　　As for U.S.‎ police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S.‎ society.  　　If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the ‎ court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.  32. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to __________.‎ ‎ A. show his opinion B. make complaints C. bring up the topic D. criticize the local police ‎33. The underlined word “tranquility” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.‎ ‎ A. entertainment B. quietness C. freedom D. quality ‎34. What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?‎ ‎ A. Go back to China. B. Fight for their right. ‎ C. Ask America to change its law. D. Keep the noise lower.‎ ‎35. What’s the writer’s attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park?‎ ‎ A. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.‎ ‎ B. He strongly supports the action of the local police.‎ ‎ C. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.‎ ‎ D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court. ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分1 0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。‎ Do you want to put a smile on someone’s face? Maybe make their day a little bit brighter? ‎36 In fact, many things can be done as a part of your normal routine and cost little or nothing. Try out one or more of the following ways today to put smiles on their faces:‎ ‎1. 37 Handwritten notes that are given to encourage, not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwritten notes even more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an encouraging note on a regular basis.‎ ‎2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite him to your home. 38 If you feel like being more adventurous, throw a party for several of your friends.‎ ‎3. Deliver a meal to someone you know that is sick or having a rough time. We have all been sick and know the last thing you want to do is be out of bed. There are also times when life is tough. 39 ‎ ‎4. Ask a friend if you can take care of their kid for a day or evening. If you have been a parent, you know the value of being able to have a few hours of free time without worrying about the children. 40 Offer to do it when the parents want to relax themselves.‎ Besides, there is one more way that can’t be ignored.
