She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.‎ ‎ “I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought.‎ ‎ She went to the doctor and told him her problem.‎ ‎ “I'm not at all surprised.” he said, “I know what your problem is.”‎ ‎ He examined her and then gave her some advice.‎ ‎ “If you don’t do what I say, Mrs. Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack (心脏病发作). It could kill you.”‎ ‎ Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor’s. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time.‎ ‎ The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop (肉铺).‎ ‎ “I'd like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please.”she said.‎ ‎ “Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale (称).‎ ‎ “That's just ten pounds.” he said.‎ ‎ “That's big enough.” Mrs. Parker said.‎ ‎ The butcher worked out the price.‎ ‎ “At＄‎4.99 a pound that will be ＄49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”‎ ‎ “Oh, I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs. Parker said.‎ ‎ “If you don't want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”‎ ‎ “My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.”‎ ‎21. Why did Ellen Parker visit the doctor?‎ ‎ A. She had a heart attack. B. She had a problem with her health.‎ ‎ C. She was unhappy about her weight D. She could not sleep well. ‎ ‎22. Why did Ellen Parker ask for ten pounds of steak?‎ ‎ A. She wanted to buy some for dinner. B. She wanted to lose weight.‎ C. Her doctor had told her to eat steak. D. She wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like. ‎ ‎23. What was Ellen Parker's real problem?‎ ‎ A. She ate too much steak. B. She weighed too much.‎ ‎ C. She was often out of breath. D. She could not walk very quickly. ‎ B ‎ Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.‎ ‎ There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats. Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.‎ ‎ Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (电器) such as rice cookers which make life ‎ easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.‎ ‎ But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (电工).‎ ‎24. Accidents take place ____. ‎ ‎ A. mostly in home. B. mostly on roads and highways ‎ C. mostly in factories D. almost everywhere ‎25. Which of the following accidents may NOT happen in homes?‎ ‎ A. People may fall to death from high buildings. ‎ ‎ B. Gas stoves may cause burns or even fires. C. People may be knocked down by cars on the roads.‎ ‎ D. People may be killed by an electrical appliance.‎ ‎ 26. People are advised____.‎ ‎ A. to avoid using electrical appliances B. to repair their own electrical appliances ‎ C. not to repair their own electrical appliances D. not to get their electrical appliances fixed C In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠). ‎ ‎ Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.‎ ‎ At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.‎ ‎ Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.‎ ‎ There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.‎ ‎ When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!‎ ‎27. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?‎ ‎ A. understanding. B. honesty. C .reliability D. a sense of humor.‎ ‎28. If you have fair weather friends, ______. ‎ ‎ A. they will give you all that they have when you need help ‎ B. you will be refused when you get into trouble ‎ C. you will become rich D. you can be sure that you get real friends ‎29. Good friends need to ______.‎ ‎ A. always point out each other's mistakes B. be helped with money ‎ C. understand each other's feelings D. have money or luck ‎30. This passage mainly discuss ______.‎ ‎ A. the qualities of a friend. B. where to choose friends ‎ C. how to get along with friends D. the importance of having a friend D Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.‎ ‎31. More than 215 million people call America “home” because_______.‎ A. they have their houses there B. they settle there now C. they want to make their home there D. they like that land very much ‎32. “Side-by-side” living style means _______.‎ A. to make friends with native people B. the groups of people who live nearby C. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas D. that they get closer to American society ‎33. According to the passage, people in the USA ________.‎ A. share American customs and culture B. live in a kind of “side-by-side” society[]‎ C. keep their own customs and habits firmly D. make no choice to accept American customs ‎34. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. They always stick to their own customs and habits.‎ B. “Side-by-side” living style is not suitable.‎ C. They face the society they are not familiar with.‎ D. The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful.‎ ‎35. Which is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Advantages and Disadvantages. B. Different Customs and Habits.‎ C. Home for the People. D. “Side-by-side” Living Style in America. ‎ 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。‎ If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? But 36 It never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity (创造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think“What happens next?”,“Why can’t I think?”‎ ‎ 37 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading. ‎ ‎ Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. 38 Now this seed is unknowingly (未发觉地) used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!‎ ‎ This is nothing but creativity. 39 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words. ‎ So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 40 Go and get a book!‎ A. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. ‎ B. Why not do some reading while you are hungry?‎ C. Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry. ‎ D. Now what are you waiting for?‎ E. Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading. ‎ F. Reading can help you make more friends, too. ‎ G. Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完型填空（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ As a child, I started learning to play the piano, my favorite musical 41  ,but I was forced to ‎ give up when I started my middle school  42   I could concentrate more on my studies.‎ ‎ It’s one of my biggest   43   to stop practicing the piano when I recall sadly today.
