Once there was an Englishman in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say,“Bring me something to eat.”But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink, first tea, then coffee, then milk, but no food.
The Englishman was very sorry he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry. He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in and put his hands on his stomach. In this way, he meant to tell the waiter that he was hungry. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat. At last the Englishman got his meal in the same way.
第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
People need to relax and enjoy themselves. One way they can have a good time is to watch a baseball game or another sports event. Even thousands of years ago, groups of people gathered to watch skilled athletes.
Over 2,000 years ago in Greece, certain days in the year were festival days. These were holidays when people stopped work and enjoyed themselves. They liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games of skills.
The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia. It was held in honour of the Greek god Zeus. For five days, athletes from all parts of the Greek world took part in the Olympic Games. At the Olympic Games, people could watch them box, run, jump and so on. There was a relay race between two teams of men in which a lighted torch (火炬) was passed from runner to runner. The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting. People were allowed to travel to the games freely. Thousands of people came to Olympia from cities in Greece and from its colonies (殖民地) in Africa, Asia and Italy. They met as friends to cheer their favourite athletes and to enjoy themselves.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了2 000多年前在古希腊的奥林匹亚镇为纪念希腊主神每四年举行一次的奥运会的相关知识。
21.What happened in Greece over 2,000 years ago?
A.People stopped work and enjoyed themselves.
B.The cities there were often against one another.
C.People watched baseball games.
D.People didn't go to any games at all.
解析:选B 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting.”可知,两千多年前,希腊的这些城市互相交战,故B项正确。
22.What did people do at the games?
A.They fought.
B.They just talked to friends.
C.They cheered for good athletes.
D.They tried to find friends.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由文章最后一段最后一句“They met as friends to cheer their favourite athletes and to enjoy themselves.”可知C项正确。
23.Greek cities then were fighting so they ________.
A.were weak
B.were strong
C.couldn't go to other cities freely
D.could see each other
解析:选C 推理判断题。由文章最后一段的“People were allowed to travel to the games
freely.”可知,人们在运动会期间被允许自由活动。由此可推知,人们在交战的城市之间是不能自由走动的,故C项正确。
B
Vitamin B could help lessen the effects of the most dangerous types of air pollution, according to a new study published recently. In the first study of its kind, a team of international researchers looked at the damage caused by one of the pollutants that has the most severe impact on health: PM2.5.
Particulate matter, or PM, is a type of air pollutant consisting of small particles of different sizes. PM2.5 has a diametre of fewer than 2.5 micrometres, about 30 times smaller than a human hair. These particles are so small that they can go into our respiratory system (呼吸系统), resulting in lung and systemic inflammation (炎症) and stress.
The team found that something as simple as a daily vitamin B supplement could potentially reduce the impact of the tiny particles on the human body,although they stressed that the research was in its early stages and the sample size was small.
For this study, 10 volunteers were initially exposed to clean air and given a placebo (安慰剂) to check their responses. The group then took another placebo for four weeks before being exposed to heavily polluted air from downtown Toronto, where an estimated 1,000 cars pass every hour. The bad air was delivered to the volunteers through an “oxygentype” face mask. The experiment was then repeated, with each volunteer taking a vitamin B supplement daily made up of 2.5 mg of folic acid, 50 mg of vitamin B6, and 1 mg of vitamin B12.B6 can be found in liver, chicken and nuts, and B12 in fish, meat, eggs, milk and some cereals.
The researchers found that four weeks of B vitamin supplements reduced the damage of PM2.5 exposure by 28%-76%. The results highlight how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight the harmful effects of PM2.5.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。吸入人体内的PM2.5(细颗粒物)会导致疾病。不过,研究发现维生素B在一定程度上能降低PM2.5的危害。
24.Why is PM2.5 harmful to our health?
A.It pollutes and poisons the air.
B.It is too much to be got rid of.
C.It carries viruses and diseases.
D.It is easily breathed in and damages our body.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These particles are so small that they can go into our respiratory system (呼吸系统), resulting in lung and systemic inflammation (炎症) and stress”可知,PM2.5(细颗粒物)很小,能进入我们的呼吸系统,导致肺部和全身炎症。
25.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.The process of the research was not scientific.
B.This kind of research has been done many times.
C.Further studies are needed to confirm their findings.
D.Vitamin B is hard to obtain in people's daily life.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“although they stressed that the research was in its early stages and the sample size was small”可知,该项研究目前处于初级阶段且样本规模小,因此还需要更多的研究来证明研究团队的发现。
26.What is the text mainly about?
A.International researchers have a new finding.
B.Vitamin B could reduce the damage of PM2.5.
C.Particulate matter does great harm to our health.
D.Emission control and regulation are badly needed.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。文章第一段和第二段谈到PM2.5的定义以及PM2.5的危害;第三到五段告诉我们维生素B能降低PM2.5的危害,所以B项最能概括文章主旨。
27.The new study was probably published________.
A.in a science journal
B.on a government website
C.in a fashion magazine
D.in a medical textbook
解析:选A 推理判断题。该文的内容为科学研究发现,很可能出自科学期刊。所以A项正确。
C
It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest.Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长目动物).Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn't have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
The friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition.It isn't a competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prizes. Perhaps the ecological definition — the simultaneous (同时的) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light — better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin's theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition.There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place.In high school, friendship coexists with competition even though at times the relationship is rough.In
fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart.College admission is the final high school objective.Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student's fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork.Healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendship apart.Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了友谊和竞争之间的关系,健康的竞争促进友谊,而恶性的竞争则破坏友谊。
28.What does the ecological definition mainly explain?
A.How friends compete with each other.
B.How to win the competition.
C.What the result of competition is.
D.What competition exactly is.
解析:选D 细节理解题。分析第二段最后一句可知,该句的主干是“Perhaps the ecological definition better explains it”,其中“it”指代的是前一句中的“competition”。两个破折号之间的内容解释“the ecological definition”。故选D项。
29.According to the author, what causes the high school students to compete?
A.The number of them is too large.
B.Friendship is a burden for them.
C.They know the laws of nature well.
D.They are divided into different groups.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,高中生活与自然界一样有一系列的规则,这与达尔文关于进化、人口过多和竞争的理论相似。也正是因为学生人数众多,为了区分,所以对学生进行了排名、分类。再加上考大学这一高中生活的最终目标的压力,高中生之间的竞争就不可避免地产生了。故选A项。
30.Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?
A.Friendship is always based on competition.
B.The degree of competition is vital to friendship.
C.Competition is terribly harmful to friendship.
D.Competition is a result of lost friendship.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Healthy,friendly competition can have only benefits ... can tear friendship apart”
可知,健康的、友好的竞争对友谊有好处,而过于激烈的、存在妒忌的竞争会使友谊破裂,因此竞争的度对友谊是至关重要的。故选B项。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了北京胡同的发展历史、建造作用以及当前的状况等。
56.Surrounding 考查非谓语动词。胡同环绕着紫禁城,它们中的许多建造于元、明、清时期。分析该句结构可知,many前面的部分为状语;主语many代指“胡同”,和动词surround之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词。
57.dynasties 考查名词复数。根据该句中的“Yuan, Ming and Qing”可知,该处指三个朝代,dynasty为可数名词,故该处用复数形式。
58.The 考查定冠词。北京城的中心是皇宫——紫禁城。根据该句中的“of the city Beijing”可知,该处特指“北京城的中心”,故用定冠词The。
59.closed 考查形容词。根据句子结构和空后的名词“China”可知,空处修饰该名词,表示“闭关自守的”,故用形容词。
60.their 考查代词。根据空后的名词短语“former neat arrangement”可知,空处修饰该名词短语,故用形容词性物主代词。
61.were improved 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。1949年中华人民共和国成立以后,胡同的状况得到了改善。该句主语为“hutong conditions”,和动词“improve”之间是被动关系,故用被动语态;由主语“hutong conditions”可知,谓语用复数;根据该句中的时间状语可知,该句介绍过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。
62.down 考查介词。但是近年来,许多胡同中的房子被拆毁,取而代之的是现代化的建筑。pull down为固定搭配,意为“拆毁”。
63.both 考查固定搭配。both ...and ...为固定搭配,意为“两者都……”。
64.third 考查数词。该处指“在北京市区的胡同中的房子占整个地区的三分之一”,分母用序数词,故用third。
65.have survived 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“still occupy”可知,该空表示过去的动作一直持续到现在,故用现在完成时。

参考范文:
Dear Peter,
I'm writing to ask for your advice on whether I should further my study abroad.
My parents insist that I go. They think the destination they choose for me has a really superior learning environment and that studying abroad will enable me to be independent, which will prepare me for a brighter future.
However, I don't agree with them. I think my English is too poor for me to communicate with foreigners. Besides, I'm afraid the high tuition fee will be a burden to my family.
Please write to me as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节:读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Our daughter Alissa passed away after a war with a_serious_illness on August 25. Her life was not easy. She grew to only four feet nine inches tall and experienced some learning problems. In her late teens, she had pneumonia (肺炎) three times in six months, which required her to go into hospital. However, Alissa had a great spirit and managed problems with courage and determination.
The death of Alissa left a big hole in our lives — as if someone took away all of the happiness and joy. As the first anniversary (周年纪念日) came, we needed something to move us forward. That was a small_dog we named Baci.
My_wife,_Susan, and youngest daughter Jenna had been looking for a dog. I was not so enthusiastic (热切的), but they continued on. On September 26 the next year, Baci arrived in
our lives from a pet store. That night, I came home from work and waited for Susan and Jenna to arrive with Baci. Jenna walked through the door and handed me this small ball of hair. I put Baci on my hands, and the first thing he did was lick (舔) my hands. It was love from the first doggy kiss, with many more to follow.
Baci quickly became part of the family,_and suddenly the air of the house changed. He liked to take walks around the lake at Belmont State Park. He did crazy things that made us laugh. He would put his ball near me and wait for me to throw it into the front yard. Then he would find out the ball and repeat the game.
Baci was not a perfect dog. He kept others from touching his toys. He was stubborn at times. He would go through the bathroom garbage. He was not friendly with other dogs in public.
But Baci gave us a lot of love. When we came home, he would come to the door happily. He would come up and give me kisses.

Paragraph 1:
Unluckily, as Baci celebrated his 10th birthday, he started having health problems. I found there was a time when Baci always lay on the ground lazily and had no interest in food. Later we were told that he had a_serious_illness. Gradually, he became weaker and weaker. It appears that our days with Baci are coming to a close. I am preparing myself for the terrible
day when I will have to say goodbye to Baci.
Paragraph 2:
Baci was something we needed to move us forward in our journey through sadness. He is an unexpected gift from God for which I will always be thankful. This crazy small_dog has made a difference to a family fighting against the death of a daughter and sister. I still remember the days when Baci put his ball near me and waited for me to throw it away, which made us laugh happily. That memory of Baci will live lovingly in my heart for a valuable part of my life.
