Text 10
When planning a trip，nowadays，people have a choice among many different types of
- 16 -
transport：cars，buses，trains and planes.
The railroad provided the first successful system of mass transportation，and carried crowds of people from one place to another.Now，Americans like to travel by air.The reasons for this are that flying in America is not very expensive and a vast network of airlines and airports makes it possible to reach almost every major American town.Meanwhile，the National Railroad Corporation，known as Amtrak(American Travel Track)is trying its best to compete with the airlines.Trains have their own advantages：they are cheaper，safer，and more comfortable：they offer passengers the possibility to get on and off in the city center.
Those who can't afford either a train or a plane take the bus.Nowadays motor buses have partly replaced railroad passenger services on many local routes in a number of regions.Americans depend mostly on their cars，in which they go to work，go shopping，and even go on vacation.For long distances，a car can carry several passengers much more cheaply than a plane.Nothing is so expressive of the modern American way of life as the motor car.It can carry a person from his own home to his destination directly.

第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Joke 1：
A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan.“What was that for？” the man asked.
The wife replied, “That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it I found in your pocket”. The man then said “When I was at the races last week Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on.” The wife apologized and went on with the housework. Three days later the man was watching TV when his wife hit him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again. Wife replied，“Your horse phoned.”
Joke 2：
“Do you believe in life after death？” the boss asked one of his employees.
“Yes, sir，” the new employee replied.
“Well, then, that makes everything just fine，” the boss went on. “After you left early yesterday to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you！”
Joke 3：
“Oh, I am happy to see you，” the little boy said to his grandmother on his mother's side. “Now maybe daddy will do the trick he has been promising us.” The grandmother was curious. “What trick is that？” she asked.
“I heard him tell mommy that he would climb the walls if you came to visit，” the little boy answered.
Joke 4：
A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma(昏迷)for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, he signaled for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.
When I got fired, you were there to support me.
When my business failed, you were there.
When I got shot, you were by my side.
When we lost the house, you stayed right here.
- 16 -
When my health started failing, you were still by my side...You know what, Martha?
“What dear？” she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
“I'm beginning to think you're bad luck...”
【语篇大意】 文章是由几则笑话构成，这些叫人会心一笑的笑话或许能叫我们意识到“笑是最好的良药”，而挖掘生活中无处不在的笑料和幽默会让我们也乐享其中。
56．Why did the wife become angry suddenly in Joke 1?
A．Her frying pan was damaged when she was out.
B．She found her husband wrote a woman's name down.
C．Her husband made a bet on a horse named Jenny but lost.
D．Her husband's pocket money was lost without any reason.
答案 B [事实细节题。在第1则笑话中的第三句话the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it说明当时妻子意识到丈夫和一个叫詹妮的女子有关系，所以顿生醋意，和B项表述一致。]
57．Who called the husband in Joke 1?
A．The organization of the horse races of a club.
B．The horse the man chose to bet on in the races.
C．The horse named Jenny which won the race successfully.
D．The woman named Jenny whom the man made friends with.
答案 D [推理判断题。结合生活实际，马怎么可能打电话呢？说明丈夫在第一次回复妻子关于詹妮这个名字的时候撒谎了，所以这里的horse其实就是指那个和丈夫有联系的女士。]
58．What can we learn about the little boy from Joke 3?
A．His father doesn't like his motherinlaw to come.
B．His father likes to make fun of his motherinlaw.
C．He likes to play tricks on others.
D．His mother was strict with him.
答案 A [推理判断题。在英语中的grandmother意为“祖母；外祖母”，而这个小孩在给grandmother解释爸爸的trick的时候，说如果grandmother到来，爸爸会爬上墙，说明这里的grandmother指的是外祖母，而爸爸并不欢迎自己的岳母。]
59．What does the husband in Joke 4 mean?
A．He is grateful for his devoted and beloved wife.
B．He is fortunate to have so many colorful experiences.
C．He realizes he is unlucky to have married with his wife.
D．His wife deserves all his love and grate because of her devotion.
答案 C [意图态度题。在最后一则笑话中丈夫身体状况正好处在极糟糕的时候。而他的一连串的几个when说的都是自己背时不幸的时候，虽然在这些艰难时刻妻子一直不离左右，但是最后一句话I'm beginning to think you're bad luck...说明他开始怀疑自己的这一连串的不幸恰恰是不离不弃的妻子带来的。 ]

Canadian English is the variety of English spoken in Canada. English, instead of French, is the first language, or “mother tongue”， of approximately 24 million Canadians (77%), and more than 28 million (86%) are fluent in the language.
Canadian English contains elements of British English and American English in its vocabulary, as well as Canadian native language. In many areas, speech is influenced by French, and there are notable local variations. Canada has very little dialect diversity compared to the United States. Canadian English and American English are sometimes classified together as North American
- 16 -
English. Canadian English spelling is largely a combination of British and American conventions(惯例)．
The term “Canadian English” is first proved in a speech by the Reverend A. Constable Geikie in a speech to the Canadian Institute in 1857. Geikie, a Scottishborn Canadian, reflected the Anglocentric attitude that would be common in Canada for the next hundred years when he referred to the language as “a ruined dialect，” in comparison to what he considered the proper English spoken by immigrants from Britain.
Canadian English is the product of four waves of immigration and settlement over a period of almost two centuries. The first large wave of long Englishspeaking settlement in Canada, and linguistically the most important, was the arrival of Loyalists escaping from the American Revolution, chiefly from the MidAtlantic states—as such, Canadian English is believed by some scholars to have come from northern American English. Recent studies suggest that Canadian English has been developing features of its own since the early 19th century. The second wave from Britain and Ireland was encouraged to settle in Canada after the War of 1812 by the governors of Canada. Waves of immigration from around the globe peaking in 1910 and 1960 had a lesser influence.
【语篇大意】 本文主要讲了加拿大人使用母语英语的基本情况，以及四次移民对加拿大英语的影响。
60．We can infer that Geikie was born in ________.
A．Canada. B．Britain. C．France. D．America.
答案 B [推理判断题。由第三段第二句话的Geikie, a Scottishborn Canadian...可知，Geikie出生在英国。]
61．According to the passage, the mother tongue in Canada is ________.
A．French. B．Spanish. C．English. D．German.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据第一段的English, instead of French, is the first language, or “mother tongue”可知，加拿大人的母语是英语。]
62．Which of the four waves of immigration affected Canadian English most?
A．The first wave. B．The second wave.
C．The third wave. D．The fourth wave.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据第四段第二句话的The first large wave of long Englishspeaking settlement in Canada, and linguistically the most important...可知，第一次说英语的移民对加拿大的语言影响最大。]
63．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The differences between Canadian English and American English.
B．How American English affects Canadian English.
C．The basic cases and the history of Canadian English.
D．The four waves of immigration and settlement in Canada.
答案 C [主旨大意题。参照文章大意。]

I want to tell you a story about a wonderful, strong lady. She is my Mother. When I was a little girl—I am the middle child by the way—I was kind of distant from my Mom. I had a couple of grandparents that no doubt loved me very much, but controlled my feelings for my Mother. I always felt like she didn't love me, although she tried with all her power to make me see she did. Anyway, later on in life my parents divorced and we all went our separate ways so to speak. I was

only 15, but got in with the wrong crowd, got pregnant, married, divorced, all in about two years. Mom was going through a pain all her own, but still managed to try and pick me up and brush me off. I wouldn't have it;_I sank even deeper. I know this has to be hard for a Mom to see, and even harder for her to let it happen, so that one day I might hit the bottom and have to swim back up.
But luckily in the end this is what happened: after many years of struggle, now I am happily married with my 14yearold daughter with me, and a new baby. I owe this all to my Mother. She and my father remarried each other some years ago, and she is 51 years old and still a police officer in our hometown. And I do mean a police officer. She works the streets in her squad car (抢险队)with the best of them. So not only is she strong enough to protect the community, but to protect her children as well.
My Mom also supports many victims' (受害者) rights groups online, and helps make the public awake of missing children through the use of her site. She is a wonderful lady, and is loved by all who meet her. She is truly My Guardian Angel on Earth. My Mom never expects anything for herself, so this would be a wonderful surprise if she could for once sit back and enjoy being “The One.”

64．Who did the author think loved her most when she was young?
A．Her mother. B．Her father.
C．Her boyfriend. D．Her grandparents.
答案 D [细节理解题。第一段第四句的no doubt loved me very much说明在作者心中，最爱她的人是自己的祖父和祖母。第二句说到了kind of distant from my mom，说明自己和母亲并不亲。]
65．What may be the most probable reason for the author to become a bad girl?
A．Her grandparents' not loving her as before.
B．Her mother's living far away from her.
C．Her parent's divorce and her shortage of love.

A．She married the author's father again.
B．She cares only the community at present.
C．She often helps others online at present.

If you like curry then you must be delighted to learn that scientists in Ireland have found a certain type of curry spice(香料、调味品) can kill off cancer cells.
The chemical—curcumin—can be found in the bright yellow curry spice turmeric. It's long thought to have healing powers. Tests by a team at the Cork Cancer Research Centre show it can destroy gullet cancer cells in the lab.
The cancer cells began to digest themselves after the curcumin triggered lethal (引发致命的)cell death signals. And this process started within 24 hours.
Curry dishes have cancer beating ingredients. Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: “This is an interesting research which opens up the possibility that natural chemicals found in turmeric could be developed into new treatments for oesophageal cancer.”
Cancers of the oesophagus kill more than 500,000 people across the world each year. It's the sixth most common cause of cancer death in the UK. The tumours are especially deadly, with fiveyear survival rates of just 12 to 31 percent.
However, Dr Sharon McKenna, lead researcher on the study says turmeric is broken down in the blood once ingested.
A way is needed to be found to ensure it stayed in the circulatory system for longer to give it time to kill cancer cells.
Asked if people with oesophageal cancer should now start eating lots of curries, she said turmeric was just one spice that was found in curry.
“A curry contains a lot of other heavy spices that would not necessarily be good for you at all，” she said. “When you eat it, you are not applying it directly to the cancer cells as we were in the laboratory.”
So there's no excuse to binge on(猛吃猛喝) curry meals after you've read this. Maintaining a balanced diet remains our best choice to a healthy lifestyle.
【语篇大意】 本文主要介绍一种姜黄素如何杀死癌细胞的科学发现。
68．What's the best title for the passage?
A．A curry can cure cancer
B．A new medicine for cancer
C．A balanced diet
D．A scientific discovery
答案 A [主旨大意题。通读全文可以知道科学家在实验室的实验结果，还没有推广使用，排除B；C项意思差距大；D项不如A项具体明确，故答案为A。]
69．What does the underlined word “curry” in the first passage most probably mean?
A．A plant that can cure oesophageal cancer.
B．A liquid that can be used as medicine for curing cancer.
C．A kind of food from India that consists of meat and vegetables covered in a thick liquid with a hot taste.
D．A new kind of medicine.
答案 C [词义猜测题。由文中的图片和下文的关键词binge on(猛吃猛喝)curry meals推出答案C。]
70．According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A．Cancers can kill 500,000 people across the world each year.
B．We should eat curries as many as possible.

Dear Abby，
How are you？I've got a wonderful news to tell you.I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education.One hundred and twenty students took exam for it，but only a few were chosen and I was one of them.Therefore，my parents are not happy about it.They are strong against my going there.They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that I will feel alone.They can't imagine a girl so young live alone.They advised me to study in the capital instead.Then I'll be able to continue living with them.How can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up？

Dear_Connie，
How_are_you_going_now?_I'm_sorry_to_hear_that_you_feel_ashamed_of_your_figure._Here_is_some_advice_I_want_to_give_you.
To keep fit, it is necessary for you to have a healthy diet. You'd better have different foods, especially fruits and vegetables, and drink milk as often as possible. It's not a good idea to take weightloss pills for a slim and attractive figure. It is not worth it. Having enough sleep together with regular exercise such as walking and riding is also beneficial to your health. Besides, you should take an active part in school sports. In my opinion, it is not a good habit to spend too much time reading, watching TV or chatting online. Always be active and keep optimistic and don't be discouraged (disappointed/frustrated/upset) whenever you meet with trouble.
