Here are the top 4 budget hotels there:‎ The Chinatown Inn (About $30 per night)‎ Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air conditioning, hot water for coffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good on the first 4 floors, but a little weak on Floor 5. Many guests like the Chinatown Inn. Their complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window. You can open it to let some warmth in. ‎ Ancasa Express (About $45 per night).‎ The hotel is above the sky-train station. That makes it convenient to get to other parts of the city. From the station, take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotel lobby (大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.‎ Central Hotel (About $35 per night)‎ This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city—buses, trains and sky-trains all meet here. Central is where the airport-link trains will take you to the airport. From Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but nice and clean, and have common Wi-Fi. ‎ Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)‎ On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean.

He was a bright thirteen-year-old boy with a strong, healthy body. His father was a brave man who had died during a food shortage in the village. His father tried to save the lives of his people by fighting a giant polar bear. Keesh’s father was crushed to death during the struggle. But he killed the bear, and the meat from the bear kept the people from starving.‎ ‎ Keesh was his only son, and he lived alone with his mother. But people are forgetful, and they soon forgot how Keesh’s father had saved their lives. And since Keesh was only a boy and his mother was a woman and not a warrior(勇士), they were forced to live in the smallest and poorest igloo in the village.‎ ‎ One night there was a council meeting in the large igloo of Klosh-Kwan, who was the chief. At that meeting Keesh showed how much courage he possessed. He rose to his feet and waited for silence. Then, with the dignity（尊严）of an older man, he said, “ It is true that my mother and I are given meat to eat. But the meat is always old and tough, filled with bones, and difficult to eat.”‎ ‎ The hunters—both the young and the old—were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way. But Keesh went on steadily, “Because my father, Bok, was a great hunter, I can speak these words. You know that Bok brought home more meat than any hunter in the village. The oldest woman, the weakest old man, received a fair share.”‎ ‎ Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down. “My mother has no one except me, and therefore I must speak. My father put his life in danger and died, to provide food for this village. It is only right that I, his son and his wife should have ‎ enough good meat as long as there is plenty of good meat in this village. I, Keesh, the son of Bok, have spoken.”‎ ‎ He sat down. He could hear angry murmuring all around him. Some men began to shout at Keesh. They ordered him to leave. They threatened to punish him by not giving him any food at all. Keesh’s eyes flashed and the blood pounded under his skin. In the midst of the noise and the uproar, he jumped to his feet. ‎ ‎ “Listen to me, you men!” he shouted. “ I shall never speak in this council again—not until you come to invite me to speak. My father was a great hunter, and so will I be.”‎ ‎ They laughed at Keesh and followed him out of the igloo, shouting at him. But keesh said nothing more. He walked away with his head raised, looking neither to the left nor the right….‎ ‎ ---Based on a story by Jack London ‎5. How did Keesh’s father die?‎ ‎ A. He died of hunger several years ago.‎ ‎ B. He died in a fight with other warriors.‎ ‎ C. He died during a struggle with a bear.‎ ‎ D. He died when he tried to save a bear.‎ ‎6. Keesh showed his courage at the council meeting by _______________.‎ ‎ A. complaining (抱怨) of the unfair treatment he and his mother received ‎ B. asking for more help from the chief ‎ C. demanding a bigger igloo to live in ‎ D. quarreling with the hunters angrily ‎7.

Before the last paragraph. ‎ B. Between the 3rd paragraph and the 4th paragraph C. Between the 4th paragraph and the 5th paragraph.‎ D. Between the 6th paragraph and the 7th paragraph.‎ ‎8.

Keesh will take revenge (报复) on his villager later C ‎ A British shopper, Emma Mumford, who was named “the Coupon(优惠券) Queen” has spent just £350 on a luxury(奢侈) Christmas for her and her family—but got £2,500 worth of food, drink and presents thanks to coupons and offers.‎ ‎ Ms Mumford is a so-called “extreme couponer” and spends hours hunting out the best deals and bargains. She has been preparing for this Christmas since the end of ‎ the last one. Ms Mumford made the huge savings by checking price comparison websites and as a result collected more presents than she needed for Christmas. After sorting out gifts for all of her family, she has even been able to donate £1,000 worth of presents to her local hospital.‎ ‎ “It has been so nice to have Christmas sorted and not having to worry about breaking the bank. I wanted to get high quality presents for my family and show that you can do it without spending a fortune. There is a misconception that everyone who does couponing only gets value products but through my careful shopping I have managed to purchase designer perfumes(香水), a high-end coffee machine.” she explained.‎ ‎ She said “What started as a hobby to help me save money has turned into my life and I am able to run a business helping people save money. I know what it feels like to struggle as my ex-partner had a lot of debt which I took on for him. We were in a poor situation where every penny counted. That’s what really inspired me.”‎ ‎ She has now turned her bargain-hunting addiction into a business where she searches for the best deals and offers tips to the general public through video blogging and her Facebook Page.‎ ‎ “I try and show people that it is just a little bit of work in the beginning but it will eventually pay off. One of the best things to do is just to be a bit forward thinking and save throughout the year.”‎ ‎9. What does “breaking the bank” in the third paragraph mean?‎ A. Buying presents of low quality. B. Breaking into the bank. ‎ C. Spending more money than you have. D. Taking out money from the bank.‎ ‎10. What really inspired Emma to help people save money?‎ A. Her addiction to bargain-hunting.‎ B. The financial difficulties she shared with her ex-partner.‎ C. The poor situation people around her were going through.‎ D. Her experience of running an unsuccessful business.‎ ‎11. Which of the following can best describe Emma?‎ A. Ambitious and creative. B. Sensitive and determined.‎ C. Brave and lucky. D. Careful and caring.‎ ‎12. How did Emma make the huge savings?‎ A. She compared prices through websites.‎ B. She hunted out bargains in real shops.‎ C. She used coupons and offers worth £3,500.‎ D. She collected more Christmas presents than needed.‎ D The sound of a mosquito can mean trouble in many parts of the world. The bite of the mosquito can be deadly. The insects carry serious diseases like malaria (疟疾). It is estimated that almost 630,000 people died from malaria and malaria related causes in 2012, and most of these cases were in African countries.‎ In the United States, a group of California scientists are working to develop a more effective and less costly substance (物质) to protect people from mosquitoes. The researchers are investigating the sense of smell in mosquitoes. They found the insects use the same receptor for identifying carbon dioxide in human breath as they do for the smell of our skin. Anandasankar Ray, who is leading the investigation, says scientists tested more than a million chemical compounds (化合物) until they found a substance called Ethyl Pyruvate. He says Ethyl Pyruvate makes the mosquitoes' receptors inactive. “When we apply Ethyl Pyruvate to a human arm and offer it to hungry mosquitoes in a cage, very few of the mosquitoes are attracted to the human arm because only a few of them are able to smell it out,” said Ray.‎ Genevieve Tauxe, a member of the research team, says it was not easy to find the ‎ neurons (神经元) of noble cells that recognize both the smell of human breath and skin. “With the device used to examine the mosquito, we are able to insert a very small electrode (电极) into the part of the mosquito's nose, where its smelling neurons are and where the smell is happening,” said Tauxe.‎ Anandasankar Ray says a product based on Ethyl Pyruvate may cost less to produce than DEFT, the most effective chemical treatment now in use. He says DEFT is too costly for most people who live in areas affected by malaria.‎ ‎“Perhaps by finding smells that can attack other target receptors, we will be able to improve upon DEFT and finally have the next generation of insect behaviour control products,” said Ray.‎ ‎13. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means ________.‎ A. a substance that protects people from mosquitoes B. a piece of equipment that sends signals C. a device that reacts to light D. a sense organ that reacts to changes ‎14. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Ethyl Pyruvate—an Insect Behaviour Control Product B. Malaria—a Serious Disease Causing 630,000 Deaths C. Scientists Find a New Substance to Fight Mosquitoes D. A New Generation of DEET Has Been Developed to Kill Mosquitoes ‎ ‎15. This passage most probably appears in ________.‎ A. a textbook of medical schools B. a collection of doctors' essays C. the column of newspaper ads D. the health column of a magazine 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're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. _16__ Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.‎ ‎1．Greetings Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been？” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. __17__‎ ‎2．Getting to the point There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? __18__ However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you？” ‎ ‎3．Interrupting without offence Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. __19__ Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．‎ ‎4．Closing the call This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. _20__ Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed ‎ speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.‎ A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.‎ B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.‎ C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.‎ D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.‎ E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.‎ F．Practice English through phone calls.‎ G．Never fear, though!‎ 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；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ The family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling a little depressed on that Sunday in May.
