On my second day I got on the first bus that passed，rode on it for several stops，then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough，then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived，and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully，nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in ‎ his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.‎ About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.‎ ‎4. The newspaper-seller______。‎ A. didn’t know where the hotel was B. didn’t understand what the writer said C. could understand what the writer said D. didn’t want to take the money from the writer ‎5. From the story we know that the policeman______。‎ A. was kind but didn’t understand the writer B. told the writer where to take a train C. knew what the writer really meant D. was cold-hearted and didn’t help the writer ‎6. What can we learn from the last paragraph？‎ A. The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.‎ B. The writer got to the hotel with the policeman’s help.‎ C. The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.‎ D. The writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.‎ ‎7.In your opinion，what was the writers real trouble？‎ A. He didn’t know the city at all. ‎ B. He couldn’t speak the language.‎ C. He went too far in the wrong bus. ‎ D. He followed the policeman’s direction.‎ C When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm. In the winter especially, we were quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too. ‎ One big disadvantage is money—It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. ‎ Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. ‎ ‎     Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon. ‎ ‎8. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? ‎ A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside.‎ C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school. ‎ ‎9. Which of the following is true about the writer? ‎ A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. ‎ C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now. ‎ ‎10. In the passage, the writer tries to _____. ‎ A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city ‎ ‎11. How is the passage mainly developed? ‎ A. By inferring. B. By comparing. ‎ C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.‎ D One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux (胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don't always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.‎ What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked: dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients' evening meals has become later and later. Dinner — already pushed back by longer work hours — is often further delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.‎ In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.‎ She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, we're the reason that it's not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservations (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”‎ To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.‎ ‎12．The disease the waiter caught is _____.‎ A. on the rise B. easy to control C. unusual in America D. the most dangerous cancer ‎13．What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Talked about a lot. B. Paid no attention to.‎ C. Carefully looked into. D. Taken into consideration.‎ ‎14．Why did the woman patient hate the author?‎ A．He spoke of her dead father and uncle.‎ B．He asked her to change her eating habits.‎ C．He couldn't find a way to deal with her problem.‎ D．He couldn't make her healthy again within a year.‎ ‎15．The author writes the text to tell us _____.‎ A．not to work late at night B．to avoid eating at restaurants C．unhealthy foods cause cancer D．the danger of eating late at night 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。‎ How to pass an important test Whether it's a first grade science test or College Entrance Exam, all tests have one thing in common: you have to pass. 1.________ Stuck in a situation where you don't know what to do? This article can help.‎ Tips ‎★1. Once you get the study guide, make plans right away to study as soon as possible. No excuses!
