Twain looked at the man and thought that this man looked quite unpleasant. However, it would be impolite to say nothing in that situation, so he said good morning to the man, and they began to talk.‎ First they talked about the weather and then they talked about Maine. The stranger said, “We have some beautiful woods in Maine. It would be a pity to come to Maine without spending some time there. I suppose you have been in our woods, haven’t you?” “Yes, I have,” answered Mark Twain. “I’ve just spent three weeks there. Although fishing isn’t allowed in Maine at this season, I’ve got two hundred pounds of fish with my baggage on this train. I like to eat fish, so I packed it in ice to take it home May I ask who you are, sir?”‎ The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and then answered, “I’m a ‎ police officer. My job is to catch people who hunt and fish during the wrong seasons. And who are you?”‎ Mark Twain was surprised and frightened when he heard this. He thought quickly and then answered, “Well, I’m the man who tells the biggest lies in America.”‎ ‎21. Mark Twain went to Maine .‎ ‎ A. to meet the police officer B. to visit his old friends there ‎ C. to spend his vacation D. to collect material for his writing ‎22.Mark Twain greeted the man on the train because .‎ ‎ A. he had known the man B. he wanted to be polite ‎ C. he hoped to start a conversation D. he wanted to know who the man was ‎23.It can be inferred from the text that Mark Twain .‎ ‎ A. was the biggest liar in America ‎ B. was not as clever as the police officer ‎ C. would invite the man to eat fish with him ‎ D. knew his fishing in Maine was not allowed ‎24.What’s the purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To amuse the readers.‎ ‎ B. To introduce Mark Twain’s hobbies.‎ ‎ C. To praise Mark Twain’s fishing skill.‎ ‎ D. To criticize Mark Twain’s wrong behavior.‎ B A famous scientist made several important medical breakthroughs. He was asked by a newspaper reporter why he was more ingenious than the average person. He answered that it all came from a childhood experience with his mother. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge (冰箱) when he failed to hold the bottle firmly and it fell, spilling the milk all over the kitchen floor.‎ When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of punishing him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge pool of milk. Whenever you make a mess you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel, or a mop. Which do you prefer?” ‎ He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother ‎ then said, “You failed to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.”‎ The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Even if the experiment doesn’t work, we usually learn something valuable from it.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “ingenious” in Paragraph 1 refers to .‎ ‎ A. creative B. famous C. lucky D. reliable ‎26. By saying “I have hardly seen such a huge pool of milk…”, Robert’s mother .‎ ‎ A. wanted to praise him ‎ B. hoped to clean up the spilled milk with him ‎ C. asked him to learn how to deal with a mess ‎ D. planned to make a decision for him ‎27. We can learn from the passage that Robert from the experience.‎ ‎ A. benefited a lot B. changed his mind ‎ C. became wise and rich D. gained his independence ‎28. What can be the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. A mother’s love B. Learn from failures ‎ C. An important experiment D. Learn something new C Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.‎ Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each ‎ other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds ‎ and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?‎ ‎29. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.‎ ‎ A. are lying on the ground B. have an unpleasant taste ‎ C. bees don’t like D. have an unfamiliar shape ‎30. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.‎ ‎ A. making special movement B. touching one another ‎ C. smelling one another D. making unusual sound ‎31. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.‎ ‎ A. cannot be taken seriously B. should no longer be permitted C. must be checked more thoroughly D. seems completely reasonable D In New York City, a nonprofit agency called Covenant House tries to help homeless young mothers become good parents.‎ The twelve or so teenagers who live at the shelter attend parenting classes four days a week. The class is called Mommy and Me. Teacher Delores Clemens is a mother of five and a grandmother. She teaches basic skills, like how to give a baby a ‎ bath and how to dress a baby depending on the season.‎ She remembers one student who learned from her mother not to pick up a crying baby. The mother said that would only make the child needy and overly demanding. Delores Clemens says, “That’s not true. You have to hold your baby! He is crying for a reason. Pick your baby up. Hug him! They just want a little cuddling and a little love.”‎ Delores Clemens says her students also learn how to be good mothers by letting themselves be mothered. Around three hundred fifty teenage mothers graduate from Covenant House's Mommy and Me class every year.‎ In class, with her baby son is Natasha．She lived on the streets. She is glad not only for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House. she is also glad for the help they offer in seeking a more secure life.‎ The World Health Organization says the United States has forty-one births for ‎ every one thousand girls age fifteen to nineteen. That is higher than other developed countries, as well as some developing ones. By comparison, northern neighbor Canada has fourteen births and southern neighbor Mexico has eighty-two.‎ ‎32. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Parents who are a child’s first teachers.‎ B. A nonprofit agency that offers a more secure（安全的）life.‎ C. A class where teens learn mothering and are mothered.‎ D. A kind teacher who helps homeless young mothers.‎ ‎33.

She teaches advanced skills on how to be good mothers.‎ D. She is very glad for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House.‎ ‎35. According to the World Health Organization, which country has the highest births for girls age fifteen to nineteen?‎ A. Canada B. The United States of America ‎ C. Britain D. Mexico 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ ‎ There are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.‎ List your strong and weak points Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points.   36  If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect. ‎ Ask others for their opinions Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed.   37   They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high. ‎ Find out what potential jobs involve ‎  38   Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all. ‎ ‎  39  ‎ When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy.   40   If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.‎ A. Take a personality test B. Consider what delights you C. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.‎ D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.‎ E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.‎ F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.‎ G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空 （共15题： 每小题1分， 满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文.从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B, C, 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小涂黑。‎ I have tried many ways to be 41 .

Zigfried trembled(发抖) when he thought of it. He looked around cautiously as he stole into the room where grain was stored and was quite nervous as he filled his bag with wheat.
