阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
A
After watching my mother deal with our family of five , I can’t understand why her answer to the question , “ What do you do ? ” is always , “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and clean-up, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings , leading a scout troop , playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist , doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.
Why is it that so many mothers like mine regard themselves as second-class citizens or something similar? Where has this stereotype come from? Has our society made “going to work” outside the house more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up and food in the house would run out. There would be no clean towels when needed. Walking and bus riding would increase.
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework . There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat , clean clothes and more bus fare money . Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after cleaning out all the dog hairs from the bathtub . Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.
21. What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph ?
A. Cooking . B. Tidying the house . C. Driving a taxi . D. Some unpaid work .
22. The underlined word “ stereotype ” in the second paragraph can be replaced by __________ .
A. mother B. citizen C. similarity D. thought
23. In the second paragraph , the writer suggests that __________ .
A. mothers are actually great women
B. our society looks down upon housewives
C. housewives should go on a strike[来源:Zxxk.Com]
D. doing housework is not important at all
24. The possible main idea of the third paragraph is __________ .
A. men should share housework with their wives
B. attitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well
C. kids are the most challenging part of the housework
D. men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife
B
The ideal companion machine—the computer—would not only look，feel，and sound friendly but would also behave in a pleasant manner．Its informal conversational style makes interaction comfortable，and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore very interesting．In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant，but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style．The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions，information，and opinions；it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own．
Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another．At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy．The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation．After experiencing a wealth of powerful，well-timed friendship indicators，the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend．
An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that people obtain from interpersonal relationships．The computer would participate in interesting conversation that could continue from previous discussions．It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as revealed in earlier contact，and it would be understanding and good-humored．The computer’s own personality would be lively and impressive，and it would develop in response to that of the user．With features such as these，the computer might indeed become a very attractive social partner．
25．What would the computer do according to Paragraph l ?
A．Passively receive information．
B．Become intimate right away．
C．Behave more like humans
D．Know everything about the user．
26．The second paragraph intends to tell us __________．
A．it takes time for computers to gain personality of it own
B．friendship is built by expressing love and affection continuously
C．a computer is more like a machine than a friend in human’s eyes
D．timing is the key for a computer to make friends with humans
27．Throughout the passage，the author is __________ in his attitude toward the computer．
A．favorable B．critical C．hesitant D．vague
28．Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage'／
A．Artificial relationships B．How to form intimate relationships
C．The caring and tender machine D．Humans and computers
C
If there’s one thing the British are good at, it’s watching telly. You may think the Americans would beat us at that, but we’ve taken and turned it into an art form. Like most people, our
favourite TV subject is ourselves, which has led to a number of shows aiming to be as British as possible. So if you want to learn how to be British, sit down to a few episodes of these distinctly British shows。
DOCTOR WHO
Political aside, Doctor Who owes its long television life not only to a brilliant central character, terrifying alien foes and intelligent scriptwriting, but also to a distinctly British way of doing things. If the Earth is the Doctor’s favourite planet, it’s clear that Britain is his favourite country。
SHERLOCK
The global popularity of the modernized Sherlock Holmes series has proven yet again that no amount of big blockbuster all-guns-blazing cop shows can compete with the reserved and sharp detective work of one of Britain’s most well-loved characters. Benedict Cumberbatch has been rightly lauded for his depiction of the fast-thinking private eye, which has proven again we Brits are good at more than drinking tea。
BLACKADDER
Similar to the Pythons, the brilliance of Blackadder is set in its genius application of witty and classically British humor. From the dulcet tones of lead man Rowan Atkinson to the chumsy sidekick Tony Robinson, there’s no better show for telling what makes the British British and having a good laugh at it, including an entire season of pointing fun at the French, one of the most British activities.
FRIENDS
I know what you’re thinking – Friends is an American show, about Americans’ living in America! How can it be distinctly British? But perhaps you’re not aware that, apart from Season 1, Friends is written entirely by British writers, and if you watch the first season in comparison to the others, the difference really shows. British sense of humor that can’t be replicated artificially. It’s a fine art by a natural hand. As an English student, I figure–Friends is, and although they speak in American accents, a British !
28. If you hunger to laugh, ______ is the best choice.
A. Sherlock. B. Blackadder C. Friends D. Doctor Who
29. What is stressed by the text?
A. The British are crazy about tea-drinking.
B. Friends are actually made by the British.
C. The British are always finding faults with the French.
D. The British are good at producing and watching telly.
30. The main purpose of the text is to________.
A. challenge the American show lovers.
B. advertise the British most loved shows
C. provide some information about the British
D. introduce the techniques of the British shows
31. What would the author be?
A. A devoted British. B. A confident movie reviewer.
C. A cool British shows hand . D. An English show-making major.
D
Teens who are preparing to undergo cosmetic surgery often have unrealistic expectations. The growing numbers of “ makeover” television shows which make cosmetic surgery seem simple, have encouraged adolescents to pursue surgery to improve their physical appearance. As a result, more teenagers are going under the knife to achieve a desired look.
When teens feel the need to have plastic surgery, they believe that it is not a huge deal, but they may not be mature enough to make such a life altering. If teens feel inadequate before surgery, they will most likely feel disappointed afterwards. Not only is surgery complex and risky for mature adults, it is extremely dangerous for younger people, and some doctors are performing these procedures on kids as young as fourteen!
The cost of procedures can add up to thousands of dollars. Insurance does not cover the costs of these procedures. Teenagers often pay for surgery themselves—a very costly purchase for a young person. Not only can surgery become addictive for insecure teens, the consequence can be disappointing. When surgery takes an unexpected wrong turn, irreparable (不可挽回的) damage can occur. Any surgery on a young, undeveloped person has a risk of complication (并发症) such as infection(感染) , which can lead to death. Even if there are no complications, there is no guarantee that surgery will provide the “ perfect” nose or sculpted body. No matter how minor the procedure, it is not as effortless as it appears.
Of course, there are cases where plastic surgery is appropriate. If a child has a serious injury or scarring from an accident, it can be beneficial. In all cases, parents must be involved in the process for the welfare of their child, and must guide them in the right direction. Fortunately, parents or legal guardians ( 监护人 ) must sign documents allowing their child to have plastic surgery. Doctors also need to be a part of the decision. Most experienced and trust-worthy physicians turn down the opportunity to operate on a teenager unnecessarily.
Plastic surgery is a life-changing experience. Hopefully, more teens will realize that there is more to a person than physical beauty, and learn to accept themselves for who they are.
32. Teenagers are encouraged to have plastic surgery by __________.
A. some surgeons B. TV show hosts C. their teen friends D. lots of TV programs
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Plastic surgery being too costly for teens.
B. The hidden danger in having plastic surgery.
C. The development of techniques of plastic surgery.
D. Plastic surgery making teens prettier without effort.
34. The author may think a teenager can consider having plastic surgery if he / she ________.
A. has an ugly scar B. is not very beautiful
C. is supported by their parents D. has got a doctor’s permission
35. What is the author’s general attitude towards teens having plastic surgery?
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Time for a Brainstorm
A brainstorm is a session where a small group of people come together to solve a problem. People voice spontaneous ideas, sometimes just shouting, and a not-taker writes them all down. 36 By getting different ideas out there, ideas are said to bounce off each other and even can help solve the problem at hand. Brainstorming is often a group exercise but individuals can also conduct personal brainstorms.
37 He defined it as using the brain to storm a creative problem and do so in commando (突击队) fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective. According to him, it was easier to tone down a wild idea than think up a new one. He placed importance on the collection of as many ideas as possible and dismissed scientific thinking.
Brainstorming has become one of the most popular ways to solve problems and hold discussion
in schools and businesses. Many students brainstorm for a group assignment or even for a personal essay. Sarah Grace, 24, is an Australian marketing analyst and uses brainstorming during all her creative duties. She thinks brainstorming is the best way to work as a team. The sessions get everyone on the same page, everyone moving together and with a clear understanding about the foundations of an event or idea. 38
However, a big problem with brainstorming is creating a mess that leads people further away from a solution. 39 If you don’t have a strong moderator or leader of the brainstorm, can go really off track, and people just start discussing something totally different. Brainstorming can sometimes confuse the human brain. 40 If you brainstorm too much and your page is filled up with all the messy links, you can paint yourself into a bit of corner and get trapped with ideas. You need to move past brainstorming as soon as you have something workable.
A. The ideas can be smart, strange or crazy.
B. It is caused by a lack of direction from a leader.
C. Brainstorming really helps her organize her thoughts.
D. Brainstorming really is the best way to build team spirit.
E. It can open too many doors and not suggest a clear direction.
F. Brainstorms were popularized in the 1940s by American advertising boss Alex Osborn.
G. They can be words, phrases, paragraphs and anything that can help answer the question.

第二节 书面表达
Dear Editor,
We want to share our opinions on opening iPad classes in your magazine. We are in favor of the subjects for the following reasons. To begin with, everyone learns differently. Students can customize their iPad with materials that fit their level and learning style, and thus tailor it to different needs. Moreover, when connected to the Internet, students can interact with teachers and classmates about what they learn more conveniently. For the sake of environmental protection, opening iPad classrooms is a good way to save trees that we have been cutting down for paper.
Most importantly, we believe students will develop their interests in the subjects by enjoying a new way of learning.
We hope that students’ ideas can be shared and hopefully we can attend an iPad class soon.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua
