SHORTLIST OF LONDON'S BEST
If you have limited visiting time we recommend you follow this list.
1) Houses of Parliament. The guided tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in
any language you want, and get you to places that even normal Brits can't. However, when
Parliament is sitting, they are not running, but you can still get in.
2) Hampton Court. We rate this as one of the best attractions in Europe. A whole
succession of kings and queens have added to Henry VIII’s original palace. There lie a
fantastic park (by Capability Brown) and gardens (including the famous maze), and Tudor
kitchens and one of the last remaining Real Tennis courts. Lots of free (once you've paid the
admission) guided tours, some in costume, by people who know and love the place. It's also
surrounded by a series of parks and makes a great destination for a bike trip — train out (30
minutes from Waterloo), bike back (12 miles) along the river. We prefer it to the Tower of
London — you'll probably want to visit both, it knocks the spots off Buckingham Palace.
3) The River. Walk along the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Lambeth. The best of
London is spread out for you: The Tower of London & Tower Bridge, The Houses of
Parliament, Lambeth Palace (residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury), Shakespeare's
Globe theatre, Both Tate Galleries, St Paul's Cathedral, The South Bank Centre, The Temple,
The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Somerset House. (A 2 hour walk if you don't stop for
long). Or you can take a boat out to Greenwich, the Thames Barrier or the Dome.
4) Westminster Abbey. Where they crown Kings. An unreasonable admission charge
(should really be free or voluntary donation), but a masterpiece anyway. If you get bored of
waiting in the queue, or packed down by the crowds, hurry yourself off to the City where
there's more square space of historic church, and empty.
5) The Theatre. It'd be a crime to visit London and not take in a show. Londoners have
been passionate about theatre for centuries. Not only is the quality high, but the price is low
— one third the price of Broadway.
21．Which tour will a foreign student studying the history of British Royal Family most
probably prefer？
A．the tour to Westminster Abbey B．the tour to Tower Bridge
C．the tour to Somerset House D．the tour to Hampton Court
22．What time does the underlined statement “when Parliament is sitting” in paragraph 2 refer
to?
A．when the Parliament is not officially in session.
B．when the members of Parliament are debating over a hot issue.
C．when the Parliament is staying idle for repairs.
D．when the members of Parliament are taking a break after some exercise英语科试卷 共 10 页 第 4 页
23．Why are Londoners fond of theatre?
A．They enjoy the criminal drama plots.
B．They enjoy the inexpensive admission.
C．They enjoy the Classical Music and Opera.
D．They enjoy the scene of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre.
B
My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we’ve gone
through both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many
hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my
teacher’s eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart.
One day, I finally decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering
how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor
Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was
like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’s voice woke up
the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to
gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children
crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it
unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it
go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up,
rosined(用松香擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it
even better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m walking on air,
feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn( 庄 严 的 ) tunes calm me down.
Gradually, it has become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?
24. What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?
A. Orders from mum. B. Boredom of practice.
C. Loss of passion for violin. D. Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. The author’s feeling was continuously influenced by the music.
B. The weather actually changed because of the tune.
C. The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat.
D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
26. Why did the author pick up the violin again?
A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone.英语科试卷 共 10 页 第 5 页
B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Deep love for music B. My dislike and like of violin
C. An inspiring violin D. Musical soul mate—violin
C
By now you’ve probably heard about the “you’re not special” speech, when English
teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School: "Do not get the
idea you're anything special, because you're not." Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony
— and a whole lot of other parents across the internet — took issue with his ego-puncturing
words. But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our
young people actually have no idea whether they're particularly talented or accomplished or not.
In our eagerness to elevate their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess
their own abilities, a crucial requirement for getting better at anything from math to music to
sports. In fact, it's not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as
above average.
Such inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it's often
exactly when we're least competent at a given task that we rate our performance most
generously. In a 2006 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical
students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most charitable in their self-
evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor students,
the authors note, "lack insight" into their own inadequacy. Why should this be? Another study,
led by Cornell University psychologist David Dunning, offers an enlightening explanation.
People who are incompetent, he writes with co-author Justin Kruger, suffer from a "dual
burden": they're not good at what they do, and their ineptness ( 笨 拙 ) prevents them from
recognizing how bad they are.
In Dunning and Kruger's study, subjects scoring at the bottom of the heap on tests of logic,
grammar and humor "extremely overestimated" their talents. Although their test scores put
them in the 12th percentile, they guessed they were in the 62nd. What these individuals lacked
(in addition to clear logic, proper grammar and a sense of humor) was "metacognitive skill" (元
认知技巧): the capacity to monitor how well they're performing. In the absence of that capacity,
the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. There's a paradox ( 悖 论 )
here, the authors note: “The skills that develop competence in a particular domain are often the
very same skills necessary to evaluate competence in that domain. " In other words, to get
better at judging how well we’re doing at an activity, we have to get better at the activity itself.
There are a couple of ways out of this double bind ( 两 难 ). First, we can learn to make
honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you
yourself don't possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals英语科试卷 共 10 页 第 6 页
are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. Find a
critic who will tell you not only how poorly you're doing, but just what it is that you're doing
wrong. As Dunning and Kruger note, success indicates to us that everything went right, but
failure is more ambiguous: any number of things could have gone wrong. Use this external
feedback to figure out exactly where and when you screwed up.
If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they
won't need parents, or a commencement(毕业典礼) speaker, to tell them that they're special.
They'll already know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.
28．What does the underlined phrase "took issue with" in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A．totally approved of B．disagreed with
C．fully understood D．held discussion about
29．What is the problem that shouldn't be overlooked in the author’s opinion?
A．we don’t know whether our young people are talented or not
B．young people can't reasonably define themselves
C．no requirement is set up for young people to get better
D．we always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged
30．Which is NOT mentioned about poor students according to the passage?
A．They lack the capacity to monitor how well they are performing.
B．They usually give themselves high scores in self-evaluations.
C．They tend to be unable to know exactly how bad they are.
D．They are intelligently inadequate in tests and exams.
31．What does the strategies of becoming special suggest?
A．the best way to recognize excellence is to study past success and failure
B．through comparison with others, one will know where and when he fails
C．we need internal honesty with ourselves and external honesty from others
D．neither parents nor a commencement speaker can tell whether one is special
D
While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that
we’ve “summered.” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.
Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With
such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are
expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances
are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.
“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a
former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all
English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since
1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though conversion ( 转 化 ) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the
practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B．White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use英语科试卷 共 10 页 第 7 页
of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as
verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar
standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.
“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,”
says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the
thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy
chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about
“verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s
descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.
In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part
of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not
every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether,
forget it.
32．What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?
A．It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.
B．It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.
C．It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.
D．It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice
33．What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?
A．Cautious. B．Satisfied.
C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned.
34．What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?
A．Predictable. B．Practicable.
C．Approaching. D．Impossible.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns？
B．Are Summering and Medaling Annoying?
C．Are You Comfortable about a New Verb?
D．Are There Any Rules for Verbing?

Choosing a major, which is the specialized area of your college study, can be
overwhelming. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career
for the rest of your life. 36 Consider these factors when picking your major.
Career Preparation
Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study.
Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a day trader, or a web developer. Before英语科试卷 共 10 页 第 8 页
you declare, talk to students in the department of your choice. 37
Earning Potential
Future earning potential is worth considering. 38 While college can pay you
back in many ways beyond salary, this can be a major factor for students who are paying their
own way or taking out loans. According to PayScale.com, the majors that lead to the highest
salaries include just about any type of engineering, computer science, physics, government, and
economics. 39 That six figure salary may not be worth it if you're not happy at the office.
40
Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love
what you're studying, you're more likely to fully engage with your classes and college
experience. That can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field.
If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that's okay. Many schools don't require
students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. Then you will have enough
time to find what you are fit for.
A. Subjects You Love
B. Explore your character.
C. College is a big investment.
D. Keep your quality of life in mind, too.
E. And the major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future.
F. Make sure you’re ready for the coursework required for the career of your dreams.
G. Exploring your interests will help you find your best fit major.

This past fall, my husband and I stepped into the local Aldi for groceries. While
41 , I did my usual 42 of replying to the cashier's "How are you today?" with a
short but real answer. Then I looked at her and said, "And how are YOU doing?" and waited
kindly and 43 for an answer.
She was a little 44 , but then she got started. As it turned out, her elderly
grandfather was the most important in her mind as he had been 45 lately in hospital.

makes sense, really. Sometimes all we 57 is for someone to see us and care, to care if
we are hurting and to 58 with us in our joy.

taking a few moments out of our day, yet how important a(n) 60 that tiny amount of
time can have!
