I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served! Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper. Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?[来源:Zxxk.Com] 21. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants? A. Easy to understand. B. Confusing but amusing. C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful. 22. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. taste B. look C. step D. risk 23. The passage mainly deals with ______. A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes B. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food C. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English 24. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________. A. examples and statements B. comparison and conclusion C. causes and effects D. time and description B In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire. But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough. American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them. Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27 punishments for causing a big fire that can be as severe as life imprisonment. In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches. The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped. 25. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____. A. they took no interest in new technology B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires C. they showed indifference to fighting fires D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment [来源:学§科§网] 26. It can be inferred from the passage that______. A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessons C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States D. America's large population leads to more fires 27. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate. B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate. C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate. D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed. C The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs. Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection. Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures. 28.What does the author say about silence in conversations? A. It implies anger. B.It promotes friendship. C. It is culture-specific. D.It is content-based. 29.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought? A. The Chinese. B.The French. C.The Mexicans. D.The Russians. 30.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence? A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients. C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects. 31.What may be the best title for the text? A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold D Do you believe that things are connected for no scientific reason at all? For example, do you avoid saying the word “four” to avoid bad luck? If so, you have a superstition (迷信). And you’re not alone – all kinds of people have them. For example, Portugal’s soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph. And sports players are not alone in having superstitions. A visitor once asked the Nobel Prize winning scientist Niels Bohr whether he really believed that the horseshoe he’d hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said. “But I understand it’s lucky whether you believe in it or not.” One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar to the connection between stepping on the pitch and playing soccer well, according to The Atlantic. When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements such as “Trees produce oxygen so that animals can breathe” as they were when they had more time to think about their reply. It seems that fear can make people think differently in this way, too. In a British study, students imagined meeting a “witch” who said she would cast (施魔法) an evil spell(符咒) on them. About half said a scientist should not be worried about the spell. Yet each of them said that, personally, they wouldn’t let the witch do it to them. So why are so many of us superstitious? Well, it seems to be our way of dealing with the unknown. “Many people quite simply just want to believe,” Brian Cronk, a professor of psychology at Missouri Western State University, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explanations.” And these explanations aren’t completely unhelpful. In fact, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real luck, according to psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany in the May 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science. They found that believing in something can improve performance on a task like an exam. So, what about you? What superstitions do you follow to keep you safe and successful? 32. The author mentions avoiding saying the word "four" in the opening paragraph to _____. A. show how foolish it is to believe in superstitions B. introduce the readers to the topic of superstitions C. discuss the scientific reasons behind superstitions D. prove that it is reasonable to be superstitious 33. How many superstitious practices are mentioned in the passage? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 34. What’s the author’s attitude to superstitions? A. Neutral B. Positive C. Negative D. Unknown 35. What is the best title of the article? A. How to get rid of superstitions B. How superstitions affect our daily lives C. How some common superstitions came into being D. Why superstitions are common 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。 Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human. We might use the word "negative" to describe more difficult emotions, but it doesn't mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn't have them. Still, most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one. 36 . What matters is how our emotions are balanced — how much of each type of emotion, positive or negative, we experience. How Negative Emotions Help Us Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with. For example, fear can alert us to possible danger. 37 . Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes, crossing a boundary, or violating our trust. Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf. Negative emotions focus our awareness. 38 . But too many negative emotions can make us feel anxious, exhausted, or stressed out. When negative emotions are out of balance, problems might seem too big to handle. How Positive Emotions Help Us Positive emotions balance out negative ones, but they have her powerful benefits, too. Instead of narrowing our focus like negative emotions do, positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness, attention, and memory. They help us take in more information and hold several ideas in mind at once. 39 .[来源:学,科,网] When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to learn and build on our skills. 40 . A. What helps you feel confident? B. That leads to doing better on tasks and tests. C. It’s a signal that we might need to protect ourselves. D. They help us focus on a problem so we can deal with it. E. For example, it’s likely you’d prefer to feel happy instead of sad. F. And they then make us understand how different ideas relate to each other. G. Pay attention to these powerful tools and find ways to make time for them. 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) 阅读下面的短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和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涂黑。 Lainey finished third grade.

However, Wang Hai has quite a different way of learning.He likes to sit up late at night doing his homework, so he often feels sleepy in class.As a result, he misses lots of key points and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework, which makes it difficult for him to concentrate on what he is doing. In my opinion, Li Hua learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself.So I prefer her learning method. 22.B考查名词。A.daughter女儿;B.niece侄子;C. student 学生;D.friend朋友。根据“姑姑拿出一本哈利比特”,可知是“给她侄子一个惊喜”,故选B。 23.C考查动词。A.opend打开;B.dried哭;C.rolled滚动;D.shaded遮蔽。句意:Lainey看了它一眼,转动着眼珠,说“令人厌烦”。故选C。 28.B考查形容词。A.amazing令人惊讶的;B.boring厌烦的;C.ridiculous荒谬的;D.humorous幽默的。根据第一段最后一个单词,可知此处意思是“你怎么能说它是令人厌烦的呢”?故选B。 29.A考查名词。A.pictures图画;B.stories故事;C. adventures冒险; D.conversations谈话。句意:它太长,也没有图画。根据文章第一句可知他是一个三年级的孩子,当然喜欢看图画。故选A。 30.C考查形容词。A.crazy疯狂的;B.foolish 愚蠢的;C. wrong 错误的;D.different不同的。 根据空格下句“有许多图画,每页都有图画”。可知你说没图画是你“错了”。故选C。 31.A考查动词。A.see看见;B. match匹配;C.show展示;D.recognize认出。句意:只是你必须读单词才能看见它们。故选A。 32.A考查副词。A.sourly怪怪地,酸酸地;B.patiently耐心地;C. eagerly热切地; D.shyly害羞地。句意:Lainey怪怪地说,“试一次”。故选A。 33.B考查名词。A.idea主意,想法;B.try尝试;C.belief信念;D.behavior举止,行为。句意:又试了一次。故选B。 34.D 考查副词。A.away离开;B.out外面;C.in在---里面;D.back向后地。句意:如果你不想读它,把它还回去。give back归还,故选D。 35.A考查动词。A.enjoy喜爱;B.admit承认;C. mind介意; D.finish完成。句意:或许你的妈妈喜欢听这个故事。故选A。 39.D考查过去分词。A.astonished 吃惊的; B.worried担忧的; C. confused 困惑的; D.excited兴奋的。正如上面所示,Lainey关于阅读能变的兴奋。故选D。 40.A考查动词。A. presented赠送,提出,呈现; B. concerned 牵挂;C.disturbed 干扰; D.replaced代替。句意:当提供给他感兴趣的话题时,Lainey关于阅读能变的兴奋。present提出,呈现。故选A。 附件1:律师事务所反盗版维权声明 附件2:独家资源交换签约学校名录(放大查看) 学校名录参见:http://www.zxxk.com/wxt/list.aspx?ClassID=3060 查看更多
