I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of
trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the
test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned
over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She
showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra
one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the
room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began
to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to
stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she
talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest,
they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously
about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the
room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me
lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the
girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed
very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked
to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor
by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the
test.
24. The story took place exactly ______ .
A. in the teacher’s office B. in an exam room
C. in the school D. in the language lab
25. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ______ .
A. she had not brought a pen with her
B. she had lost her own on her way to school
C. there was something wrong with her own
D. her own had been taken away by someone
26. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ______ . A. to go on writing his paper
B. to stop whispering
C. to leave the room immediately
D. to stay behind after the exam
27. The boy knew everything ______ .
A. the moment he was asked to stay behind
B. when the teacher started talking about honesty
C. only some time later
D. when he was walking out of the room

Charlotte Hollins faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old
brother Ben are fighting to save a farm that their father worked on since he was 14.
Although confident they will succeed, she lists farming’s many challenges:
“You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to
keep prices low. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,” she said.
“There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!”
Like others around the world, Charlotte’s generation tend to leave the farm for
cities.
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his
father and grandfather’s land. “I’m sure dad hoped I’d stay,” he said. “I guess it’s a nice,
straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal to me. For young, ambitious people, farm life
is hard”.
For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much “in terms of money or lifestyle”.
Hollins agrees that economic factors stop people from enjoying the rewards of farming.
He describes it as a career that provides “for a vital human need”, allowing people to
work “outdoors with nature”.
Farming is a big political issue in the UK. The “Buy British” campaigns urge
consumers not to purchase cheaper imported foods. The 2001 foot and mouth crisis
closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness about
the troubles on UK farms.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children eating healthily also
highlighted the issue.
This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful
supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of
independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.
“I started going to Farmers’ Markets in direct defiance of the big supermarkets. I
seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything – what exactly do they put on our
apples to make them so big and red? It’s terrible,” said Londoner Michaela Samson, 31.
28. What are the challenges that British farmers face according to Charlotte Hollins?
a. loneliness b. thin profits
c. a lack of good equipment d. long working hours but slow results
A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd
29. Why did Oliver Robinson refuse to stay on the farm?A. He hoped for a simpler life.
B. He was fed up with a hard farm life.
C. Farm life was too demanding though he liked it.
D. He hoped for something challenging and rewarding.
30. Which of the following can be Farmers’ Markets’ strong point?
A. Lower prices. B. Flexible sizes.
C. Convenient location. D. Healthier food.
31. What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?
A. Things are improving for independent farms in the UK.
B. Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets.
C. Most British people now feel doubtful of foods in big supermarkets.
D. Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begin to save farms.
D
It is important to protect yourself from harmful rays. But if you think a high-factor
sunscreen keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week's
Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas ( 黑 瘤 ) and
delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin
cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green
eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common
if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly
likely with long-term exposure.
There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas
– the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011
Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply
sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A
second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1.101 who didn't have the
cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats,
long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other
forms of sun protection – no sunscreen – seemed most beneficial. The study relied on
people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not
entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of
security in the sun.
Many people also don't use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts,
failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn
that is most worrying – recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage
years increases the risk of all skin cancers.
The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce
melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So
if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, use
sunscreen and slap on a hat.
32. What's people's common expectation of high-factor sunscreen?
A. It will protect them from sunburn.
B. It will keep their skin smooth ad fair.C. It will work for people of any skin color.
D. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.
33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Sunscreen can prevent all kinds of skin cancers.
B. The studies are based on direct observation of the subjects.
C. The studies may help people select the most effective sunscreen.
D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.
34. What does the author suggest in order to reduce melanoma rates?
A. Staying in the shade whenever possible.
B. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.
C. Using both covering up and sunscreen.
D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. No Way to Stop Harmful Rays!
B. Does Sunscreen Prevent Skin Cancer?
C. Did You Use Sunscreen In the Right Way?
D. Skin Cancer-The Biggest Threat to Human Beings!
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。
The best way to get around a city may be driving a car. Indeed, it could be of little
inconvenient for you to travel from one point to another if you don't own a car.
36 . But don't worry. There are car rental companies that can help you with your
traveling needs at anytime. If you are planning on a vacation during a major holiday like
Christmas, consider hiring a car for you and your family's use. The obvious benefits of
doing so are as follows:
Some rental companies even include a driver with every car rented. Imagine yourself
with a driver taking you to your destination and waiting to drive you back home.
37 .
Even if you have to drive the car by yourself, you can benefit from hiring a car
because you can take the shortest route to your destination. 38 . This is the exact
opposite of having to ride the bus, which has to keep to its route no matter how jammed
the roads are.
39 . This is especially true for the ones hired from reputable rental companies.
If you have planned your holiday in a hurry, you might have missed checking on your
car's condition. If this is the case, it is wise to rent a car because it will not break down on
your way at all.
Traveling in your own car is a lot more comfortable, to be frank, than riding the train
or bus. You can stop at anytime if you need to grab something. 40 . All in all,
your travel experience is going to be a lot better in a haired car compared to traveling on
public transport.
A. Cars for hire are mostly well-maintained.
B. Being in the driver seat, you’re in full control.
C. In this way, even parking becomes the least of your concerns.
D. Some car rental companies require that you show proof of insurance.
E. While you can always use public transport, it can be quite unreliable sometimes.
F. Reputable local car rental companies are present, which are often a little
cheaper.
G. You can travel at the speed you prefer and you can see all the scenery on the
way.

It was on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the spring of 1949 that I learned an
important life lesson about judging others by their physical appearance.

The job provided a pleasant working environment and a modest 42 . My weekly
paycheck 43 a base salary and commissions(佣金)earned on the 44 of radios
and music-related accessories(配件).
For maximum 45 at acquiring commissions, especially on sales of
higher-priced items, two other teenage salesmen and I used the “up” system, taking turns
greeting 46 entering the shop.
On that 47 afternoon, a tall, unshaven man walked in wearing clothing more
48 for yard work than for shopping.
This slim, 49 fellow was my “up”, but after glancing at his 50 , I quickly
concluded my 51 would be more profitably spent with another apparently 52
customer, so I looked at my co-worker Norman and signaled that I was giving up my
53 to him.
Norman 54 as this unseemly looking fellow walked to the radio display,
pointed at the Trans-Oceanic and asked whether he had six in 55 . Norman looked
56 at me, then turned and went into the storeroom. He immediately 57 and
said that there were six. Then the buyer opened his checkbook and waited for Norman to
write the 58 . And I was asked to help carry the six Trans-Oceanic boxes to the back
seat of the buyer’s car 59 nearby.
Ever since that notable afternoon some 68 years ago, I have carefully 60

exhibition on last Saturday. They were exciting to have a close look at the traditional
Chinese culture. On the show they enjoyed various fine work with great admiration. To
their joy, they saw some Chinese artists giving live performances with brush pens. Ted

Dear Jim,
I'm so glad to hear your future education plan in Beijing in your
last letter. First I would like to express my warmest welcome to you

apply for Peking University, one of the best universities in China. Its
Chinese Literature major is perfect for you where you can be completely soaked in Chinese profound history and rich culture. As for
preparation, some reading in advance in needed like The Story of the
Stone while some online courses of spoken Chinese can be helpful for
you to adapt into the Chinese language environment.

show you around in Beijing when that day comes. If you have further
questions, please feel free to let me know.

Li Hua
