Over the centuries the French have lost a number of famous battles with the British. However, they’ve always felt superior in the kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence, and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world. But according to a recent survey, that reputation may no longer reflect reality.
In the survey, 71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day, while only 59% of the French said they cook daily. British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.
The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s. Once upon a time, the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef, potatoes and over-cooked vegetables, but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients (烹调原料) now available in
British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes, using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year. As a result, there’s much more diversity in British food now, compared to French food, which tends to be very traditional.
Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture. They agree that during the week French women don’t cook as much as they used to because most of them work and don’t have much time. They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes, but many of them make up for it on the weekend. There’s also a difference between Paris and the countryside. It’s true that people in Paris don’t cook much, but elsewhere, cooking is still at the heart of daily life.
For many French people, opinions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier, the food editor at a magazine, was asked about British food, he replied: “I don’t go out of my way to try it. It is not very refined. You can say that I’m not a fan at all.”
16. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph imply?
A. French cooking is better than British cooking.
B. The British defeated the French in many battles.
C. British cooking is thought to be the worst.
D. British cooking is now better than it was.
17. According to the passage, nowadays British people ________.
A. cook less at home than the French every day
B. no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetables
C. are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foods
D. buy more cookbooks than French people do
18. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. French women cook less often now.
B. The French prefer ready-made dishes.
C. French women seldom cook on the weekend.
D. Cooking is at the heart of people’s life in Paris.
19. What is Bernard’s attitude towards British food?
A. He would love to try it. B. He shows no interest in it.
C. He considers it worse than before. D. He considers it better than before.
20. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The history of British food. B. The history of French food.
C. The change in British food. D. The change in French food.
C
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, and I must say so peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
21. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ________.
A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present
22. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is ________.
A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time
C. repeated too often D. told in a different way
23. The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ________.
A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
24. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that ________.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach
25. The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ________.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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项。
It happens every night—bedtime. But what if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed and just lie there with your eyes wide open? 26 But don’t worry. Here are some steps you can take to help you fall asleep.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about being teased at school, it can really help to tell somebody. 27
28 If there’s anything about your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious at night, like a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a leaking bathroom tap, ask your parent to move or fix it. Make sure electronics are kept away from your bed as their lights and noise can make it harder for you to fall asleep.
If you’re often nervous around bedtime, doing certain things to calm yourself may help you fall asleep. Taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime story at least 30 minutes before bed may help you relax. It also helps to follow a bedtime routine and go to sleep at the same time every night. 29
In order to find the right solution for you, it’s important that you understand what exactly is keeping you up at night. 30 Your body will thank you for the effort.
A. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease your mind so that you can rest.
B. Calming music played at a low volume can help the stress flow out of your body.
C. It’s a problem that has been around as long as there have been people trying to sleep.
D. Take the time to think about the problem carefully.
E. Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is ideal.
F. But what works for others may not necessarily work for you.
G. In this way, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep.

书面表达
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I learned from the newspaper that your company needs an English secretary. The advertisement is very appealing to me, so I’m now writing to you in the hope of filling in the job vacancy.
I have just turned 22 this year, and will graduate from Sun Yat-sen University next year. Besides, I’ve been doing pretty well in my lessons, and always turn out to be the first in exams. As a major in English, I’m particularly good at spoken English, and I can type very fast.
With an optimistic and outgoing personality, I can always get along well with others in a team. In my spare time, I like to engage myself in some outdoor activities.
I do hope that I can meet your requirements. I would be grateful if I could be given the job.
I’m looking forward to your reply!
Sincerely
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Can I help you
W: Well, I'm looking for a golden desk lamp I saw at a friend’s house a few days ago. He said he bought it here.
M: Why don't you take a look at the model pictures here in our catalog?
W: The second picture on page three seems to be the one.
M: I'm sorry we don't have that one right now. How about the third picture on page 2 or the fourth picture on page 3?
W: Well, I still like that one. Are you going to be getting more?
M: We are, but I should warn you that price has gone up. They were $12.50 last week, but the new ones will be two dollars more. Come back next week if you like. We should have them by then.
W: Okay. I'll be back.

M: A white dog, quite big.
W: Oh, it belongs to my neighbor, Mr. Wang.Dog, though it’s strange that it was out, because he usually keeps it in a cage. I really don't like that dog. It's very noisy dirty.

One day the donkey looked in the window and saw the man and the dog. “Why does he not make a pet of me?” said the donkey. “It is not fair. I work much harder than the dog. The dog only wags its tail, barks and jumps on our master’s knee.” Then the donkey said to himself, “If I do what the dog does, perhaps our master will make a pet of me.” So the donkey ran into the room. It wagged its tail so hard that it knocked over a jar on the table.
Then it tried to jump on its master’s knee. The master felt that the donkey was mad, and he shouted, “Help! Help!” His servants came running in with sticks. They beat the donkey until it ran out of the house, and they drove it back out to the field.
