He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket. ‎ ‎ I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth…?‎ ‎ She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room – if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.‎ ‎ After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.‎ ‎1. Why did the author shout at the telephone?‎ A. He was mad at the telephone. B. He was angry with his agent.‎ C. He was anxious about his wife D. He was impatient with the secretary.‎ ‎2. What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?‎ ‎ A. She said nothing B. She shouted at him.‎ - 12 -‎ ‎ C. She called the agent D. She threw the phone away ‎3. What made the author laugh?‎ ‎ A. His own behavior. B. His wife’s suggestion ‎ C. His changeable feelings D. His wife’s sweet kiss.‎ ‎4. What does the underlined word “antics” refer to?‎ ‎ A. Smart words B. Unusual actions C. Surprising Looks D. Anxious feelings B Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.‎ ‎ Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.(配件) ‎ ‎ Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!‎ ‎ "Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.‎ ‎ Tim Greenhalgh, a professor , explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.‎ ‎5. We can infer from the article that _________.‎ A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys B. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults C. Kidults like to have vitamins very much D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much ‎6. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that _______.‎ A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids - 12 -‎ B. it can help kidults feel relaxed C. it is helpful to solve some social problems D. it can make people loyal to one's parents ‎7. According to the writer, _______.‎ A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problems C. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow up C ‎ Almost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, “Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to (倾向于) get retribution (惩罚) against criminals. These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future.‎ ‎ These systems also try to deter (威慑) others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. Rehabilitation (悔过) is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the person's behavior and approach so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen.‎ ‎ Capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.‎ ‎8. The police around the world usually concentrate their attention on_______ .‎ A. how to catch the person who commits crimes B. how to punish the person who commits crimes C. how to control crimes D. how to determine the system of punishment of criminals - 12 -‎ ‎9. Different purposes of the systems of criminal punishment are mentioned in the passage except_________ .‎ A. to frighten criminals and stop them from committing crimes again B. to warn others in society not to commit crimes C. to reform criminals and help them return to society D. to help criminals get some knowledge of law ‎10. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Many countries including the USA have got rid of capital punishment.‎ B. In some countries capital punishment can only be found in law books, but it is hardly used.‎ C. Capital punishment is only used in extreme criminal cases.‎ D. Some countries including China still use capital punishment 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。‎ Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.‎ Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 11 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.‎ ‎ 12 Here are some ideas.‎ Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well in? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non－sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 13 ‎ Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don't just happen. 14 A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising twenty minutes to one hour three days a week. Workouts can also lift your spirits.‎ Respect your body! Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.‎ - 12 -‎ ‎ 15 Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.‎ A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at.‎ B. Be yourself. ‎ C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look. ‎ D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.‎ E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.‎ F. The good news is that self－image and body image can be changed.‎ G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?‎ 第三节 完形填空(共 20 小题; 每小题 1分, 满分20 分)‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ ‎ I sat in the chair reflecting on the past year.

These books have many advantages. One of them is that we can find a variety of topics , such as science, culture, and history. These topics , I think , are very popular with us students. What’s more, along with the texts there are many beautiful and colorful pictures, which can help us understand English better. Even the students who used to dislike English have turned out to be interested in the subject. However, some of the texts have too many new words and expressions which are hard for us. Therefore, I’d like to suggest changing them into easier ones.‎ ‎ Best wishes,‎ ‎ Yours ‎ Li Hua - 12 -‎
