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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Countries may be rated by many various categories, such as how expensive or interesting they are to foreign tourists. They can also be rated by their openness and friendliness toward visitors. You might be shocked to find out that, for example, the USA is number 102 on the list of the least welcoming places, 140 being the most unfriendly land.
Mongolia
Mongolia was closed for quite a long time and opened up to foreigners only 20 years ago. That's probably the major reason why it is not yet experienced enough in hosting tourists. The country is beautiful, with broad land that is low populated. The local people are not used to being visited by foreign guests.
Iran
Iran is not the best place to travel to. It is located close to Pakistan with its negative political atmosphere. Western visitors are not welcome and embassies advise against travel to Iran. The people, contrary to the country’s government, are very friendly and welcome visitors.
Kuwait
In Kuwait people are warm and friendly. It has a unique history, plenty of traditions and customs. It is a Muslim country, which means that you are not allowed to drink alcohol. If you happen to visit Kuwait during Ramadan(斋月), you will not be allowed to eat in public places, either.
Russia
Russia is truly a special place. It is worth visiting it. However, one point that you might dislike is the corruption and bureaucracy(官僚主义) in some certain official circles. Another point you should be ready for is that, as a visitor, you'll be asked to receive an invitation. Only then will you be able to apply for a visa. Once you arrive in Russia, you'll be warmly greeted and accepted. (292 words)

In the distance, the tiny Welsh village of Hay-on-Wye, situated on the River Wye on the Welsh-English border，looks like any other small European town. But apart from other small towns, it’s home to 1,400 people and hundreds of thousands of books, making it the largest center for secondhand books in the entire world.
You won’t find a Barnes and Noble in Hay-on-Wye, but what you will find is over 30 charming and comfortable secondhand bookshops rich with the smell of old books. There’s a bookstore specializing in out-of-print children’s books. A shop called “Murder and Mayhem” sells mainly crime and detective literature. And one outdoor bookshop, the Hay Castle Bookshop, is built around the walls of a castle. How could a book lover possibly ask for anything more?
One of the town’s most unique features is its “honesty bookshops.” These are basically just bookshelves fitting out in the Open, without a cashier or employee to speak of. A sign announces the prices of the books which are often less than one U. S. dollar and a collection box for money sits nearby. Customers are trusted to pay on their honor. There are no security cameras or anything; just good old-fashioned trust.
Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanatics throughout the entire year, Hay-on-Wye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of May. Bookworms from all over the world come to this tiny village to hear famous writers speak, attend book signings, and, of course, stock up(囤货) on reading material. And there’s plenty for the kids to read too! Here, your child grows up loving to read. (277words)
5. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. A small town with more books than people.
B. Honest people in a British town.
C. The most unique bookshops in the world.
D. Bookshops — a good place for tired travelers.
6. The small town has the following features except _______.
A. It’s the largest center for secondhand books.
B. All the bookshops there have no security cameras.
C. There is a literary festival each year for book-lovers throughout the world.
D. Customers to the honesty bookshops help themselves buying books.
7. In which column of a magazine can you probably find the passage?
A. Finance B. Fashion C. Travel D. Health
C
It is only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids---particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Don’t run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do.
Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is told “Don’t fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “don’t” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”
Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don’t you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think I’ll feel if you drown?” The changes are small
but the difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.
8. Positive choice of words helps kids to __________.
A. do things carefully B. build up their confidence
C. improve their imagination D. learn in different situations
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. A child will act on what is instructed
B. One can’t help imagining what is heard.
C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.
10. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?
A. Fasten your seat belt.
B. Don’t play by the lake.
C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurt?
D. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light?
11. The main idea of the passage is that __________.
A. praise makes kids confident B. right instructions keep kids safe
C. clear commands make kids different
D. choice of words can make a difference
D
A customer waits to pay in an unmanned supermarket. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There’s no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those people are using “smart machines” which identify people by their physical characteristics. These new devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.
In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.
Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that the machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a computer, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”
Some people don’t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them
with criminals, and feel like they are being accused of something. In addition, they don’t work for some people, such as bricklayers(砖瓦工), who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesn’t really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease. It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.
But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example, voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another restriction（限制）we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person’s iris(虹膜), the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM. (506words)
12. What’s the author’s intention by presenting some examples in Paragraph 1?
A. To stress how smart machines work.
B. To bring in the topic of the passage.
C. To show the popularity of smart machines.
D. To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.
13. Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?
A. They are not as expensive as they were.
B. They no longer invade people’s privacy.
C. People enjoy face and voice recognition.
D. Criminals are often hidden at airports.
14. Why don’t people like using finger-prints while using the machine?
A. They want to keep their mistakes a secret.
B. They don’t want to damage their fingers.
C. They are afraid of losing money in the bank.
D. They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new technology?
A. Worried. B. Bitter. C. Optimistic. D. Satisfied.
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。
Nowadays more and more children chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. 16 Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, brings some problems, such
as bullying(欺霸) or arguments. 17 , but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.
18 Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).
19 So it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards. 20 Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, Idk — I don’t know, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud. It seems like another language, and it is!
A. Going online is great fun.
B. Computer studies are part of schoolwork now.
C. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too.
D. There are some websites that are not suitable for children.
E. To keep children safe, your management must cover the family computer.
F. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world.
G. Surfing the Internet takes too much of the time that should be spent on lessons.
