The Visitor Oyster Card
A Visitor Oyster card is the cheapest way to pay for a single adult journey in London. It's a
plastic smartcard. You can use it on the bus,tube,tram,DLR,London Overground and most
National Rail services. It's much cheaper than buying individual tickets, in some cases costing 50%
less than the price of a regular paper ticket.
How to get a Visitor Oyster card
You can buy a Visitor Oyster card online. Your card will be delivered by post. The card costs
£5 and you choose how much money you want to add to the card. This means you can start using
the card the moment you arrive in Central London.
How does the Visitor Oyster card work?
The Oyster card works on a payasyougo system. You start by adding money to the card.
Then you travel, and the cost of the fare will automatically be deducted from your Visitor Oyster
card. For example,if you add £20 to the card and make a tube journey of £2.30, you will have
£17.70 left on the card.
A few more points:
·A child under the age of 11 travels free when accompanied by an adult.
· You'll save more money if you use the tube several times. The Visitor Oyster card is
“capped(给……定上限)” at £6.80 per day.
·You'll pay more during peak times. Peak fares apply from Monday to Friday(6:30 am—9:
30 am;4:00 pm—7:00 pm), except for public holidays.
·Reuse the Oyster card by adding credit at a tube station,Oyster ticket shop or Visitor Centre.
·Receive a discount on the Thames Clippers River Bus services.

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually
$8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts
were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in
politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass
audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the
1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was towards the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely
available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant
newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy) to buy single
copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's
office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street
sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was
seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older wellknown papers
charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public's fancy, and soon there
would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the
early ventures( 企 业 ) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were
owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and
daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
( )24. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A. Unattractive. B. Academic. C. Inexpensive. D. Confidential.
( )25. What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A. They would be priced higher. B. They could have more readers.
C. They would disappear from cities. D. They could regain public trust.
( )26. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A. Local politicians. B. Young publishers.
C. Common people. D. Rich businessmen.
( )27. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A. It was a robbery of the poor. B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a difficult process. D. It was a disaster for printers.

How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is
style? Let's hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are, what you
want to say, and not giving a damn,”(Gore Vidal); “Style is an expression of individualism mixed
with charisma,”(John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view,”(Richard Eberhart);
“Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,”(Jean Cocteau);“Style is the dress of
thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).
So, now you know what style is, and you'll need to buy some clothes. But where? In the UK,
you can get really cheap, stylish, secondhand clothes at charity shops. They're great if you want
exclusive labels but don't want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really
good bargains are. But don't worry, and Leila Gray can help you here. She's the proud owner of a
vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for £20—a good deal when you realise it
costs more than £800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,”she says. “That's where
all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and there's a lot of
buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”
So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, and how do you acquire your style?
Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own
style—something that really suits you. That's what Scottish musician Momus did. “My fashion tip
is this,” he says. “Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you can't be attractive,
aim for ‘interesting’ or ‘original’.”Momus' unique style could even make him happier, too. As
psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks,
never against what others do or have”.
Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “ I think real
fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,”
he says. “ What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it's more
commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional
Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta”(Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion.
“This really caught my eyes,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aoki's idea is not: be
bold, be creative and find something that suits you.
Maybe it's time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the
best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel
free to copy, but don't make yourself a clone ... mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!
( )28. What should you first do to choose the style that best suits you?
A. Follow the images of the wise people.
B. Go for whatever is fashionable.
C. Simplify complicated expressions.
D. Figure out what a true style is.
( )29. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Getting clothes of leading brands.
B. Buying clothes at rather low prices.
C. Searching for really good bargains.
D. Starting a charity shop selling clothes.
( )30. What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?
A. Commercialisation of fashion magazines.
B. Expression of something personal and creative.
C. Designing fashionable wear for men in the street.
D. Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide.
( )31. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. How to find the style that suits you B. Where to pick up a bargain
C. What to wear to develop your style D. Whom to imitate to be popular
D
Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor(流星) that fell to Earth earlier
this year. The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, near
the northwestern state of Washington.
The crew of the Nautilus recovered the rock particles( 颗 粒 ). The group said its aim is to
examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before. The search was launched after US
government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding four months ago. The explosion
lit up the sky and sent the rock particles falling to Earth, which landed in the Pacific.
Marc Fries is with the US space agency, NASA, and he said the meteorite fall was the largest
recorded over the United States in at least 20 years. Fries is part of the latest exploration team
searching for meteorites. He said he could not be happier with the discovery, The Seattle Times
reported. “This has been the experience of a lifetime,” he added.
The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite pieces. Further testing is
needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion in March.
The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated underwater vehicles(ROVs), called
Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines( 潜 艇 ) help researchers find and collect materials
from the seafloor. The Hercules ROV was launched from the Nautilus ship into the Pacific Ocean in
the search for meteorite pieces in the ocean.
Fries said information about the explosion led scientists to think that the explosion was
unusually strong. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger
pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, Fries told the Live Science website,
scientists decided to launch the “first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean” . Until the
latest research, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from
drilling operations.
“The meteorite pieces are small, melted pieces of rock,” Fries told Live Science. He thought
the objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two
reasons. Firstly, meteorite particles are “basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last
long in seawater”, he told the website. Secondly, Fries said, they came from what looked like a
small hole on the seafloor. “It's some evidence that they came from something that fell.”
The first Nautilus meteorite ocean mission was to explore and search within a onesquare
kilometre area. The exploration team expressed high hopes for future searches. “If successful, this
will be the first known recovery of a meteorite from the ocean,” the group reported on its website.
( )32. Which of the following can be concluded from the third and fourth paragraphs?
A. Fries takes the lead role in the latest exploration team.
B. The meteorite fall is the largest that has been recorded so far.
C. Scientists' main task is to explore the unknown of the Pacific Ocean.
D. It's unclear whether what scientists found came from the March explosion.
( )33. What does the author say about the Nautilus?
A. It is in the possession of NASA.
B. It is a research ship with two ROVs.
C. It is a robotic submarine working underwater.
D. It is mainly designed to recover meteorite pieces.
( )34. What makes the search for meteorite pieces from the ocean an intentional one?
A. The possible presence of larger rock particles.
B. The request from NASA and the US government.
C. The accidental discovery of two small meteorite pieces.
D. The team's expectation of an extraordinary achievement.
( )35. The words from Fries in Paragraph 7 probably aim at ________.
A. introducing ways to identify meteorite pieces
B. explaining the features of the meteorite pieces
C. proving where the meteorite pieces came from
D. revealing how the meteorite pieces were discovered

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。
A young man had bought an old house that was in bad shape, but he and his wife believed they
could restore it. They immediately went to work. Their goal was to have the old building look best
for New Year's Eve gettogether.
Just two days before New Year, however, a storm swept through the area, leaving a hole in the
wall of the house. There was obviously no time to repair the damage before New Year. Then, the sad
couple attended a local auction(拍卖) that afternoon. One of the items put up for bids was an old
goldandivorycoloured tablecloth. Seized by an inspiration, the young man was the highest bidder
at $ 6.50. His idea was to hang the cloth to cover the ragged hole.
On the day before New Year, it was snowy. As the young man unlocked the house door, he
noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn't be there within at least
half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm.
When the woman walked in and saw the tablecloth, she rushed at it and said excitedly, “It's
mine. It is my tablecloth.” She told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name in
one corner of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their village
was hit by a deadly disease. So they decided to flee to Switzerland, but her husband told her to leave
first, saying he had something urgent to deal with. A few days later, it was reported that the bus her
husband took fell off the cliff(悬崖) and he was never to be found. Her husband was believed to
have died. Touched by her story, the young couple asked about her address, planning to send the
tablecloth to her after New Year. As the bus came, she left.
In the candlelight of New Year's Eve, the tablecloth looked even more beautiful. As the man's
friends left the house, they thanked the man for his arrangement and mentioned how beautiful the
house looked.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;

成为一个有目的的搜索,是因为科学家们觉得可能会有更大的陨石碎片隐藏在海洋里。故选 A。
35. C 解析:推理判断题。根据第七段的内容,尤其是“meteorite particles are ‘basically
made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater',he told ...‘It's some evidence that
they came from something that fell.’”可知,弗里斯的这些话意在证明,从海底寻找到的物体
很可能来自最近一次的陨石爆炸。故选 C。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
36~40 FGBCE
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了对于刚开始跑步的人,要避免哪些事项来提高成功
的机会。
36. F 解析:根据上文“Given that it's so easy to take up the sport, a lot of beginners jump
right into running without actually knowing what it takes to establish a healthy routine.”可知,鉴于
这项运动非常容易,许多初学者在没有真正知道如何建立健康的运动习惯的情况下直接跑步。
承接上文,F 项切题,故选 F 项。
37. G 解析:根据上文“Runners need to ease into the sport before increasing the distance.”可
知,跑步者需要在增加跑步距离之前慢慢地进入运动状态。承接下文,G 项切题。G 项 it 指
的是前面整个句子,对前面的句子作出了进一步的解释。故选 G 项。
38. B 解析:根据本段“Beginners might think they need to run nearly every day to meet their
fitness or weightloss goals, but this couldn't be further from the truth.”和“Follow a training plan
that includes rest days.”可知,初学者可能会认为他们几乎每天都要跑步以达到他们的健身或减
肥目标,但这根本是不对的。要在训练计划中安排休息。所以这段要讲的误区就是坚持跑步
而不休息,B 项符合,故选 B 项。
39. C 解析:根据后文“especially for beginners whose muscles and bones haven't yet been
conditioned for such intense exercise”可知,特别是对那些肌肉和骨骼还没有调适到如此剧烈的
运动的初跑者,此处是想表达跑步是一项有难度的运动,C 项切题,故选 C 项。
40. E 解析:根据小标题“Comparing yourself to others”可知,跑步的一个误区就是拿自己
和别人比较,E 项符合语境,故选 E 项。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分 30 分)
第一节 完形填空(共 15 小题;每题 1 分,满分 15 分)
41~45 ABBDC 46~50 DCDCD 51~55 BBACD
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文中的守财奴真可称得上是一毛不拔,甚至有病也不
愿意花钱请医生。他拒绝立遗嘱,为的是永远守着自己的财富。年轻人的一番话让他明白了
这样一个道理:财富是身外之物。正所谓生不带来,死不带去。在有生之年将财富用在更有
意义的事上,反而是明智之举。
41. A 解析:上文介绍了这位守财奴的生活方式(穿着破烂并精打细算),这里介绍的是他
坚持他家里的人也要像他那样生活。
42. B 解析:根据“he spent as little as possible”可知,他是一个吝啬的人,虽然病了,但
不想把钱花在医生身上。
43. B 解析:根据后面的语境“but he kept putting it off, because the thought of parting with
his wealth was __44__”可判断,这里说朋友催促他立遗嘱。
44. D 解析:联系空前的内容“the thought of parting with his wealth”可知,一想到要与自
己的财富分开,他就觉得不能接受。
45. C 解析:根据文中介绍的守财奴生病的情况,以及后面提到的“When you go to
heaven”以及“he asked me to send the needle through you”可知,裁缝已经去世,他的儿子现在来
找他说话。
46. D 解析:根据上下文可知,裁缝的儿子求守财奴把一根针带去天堂捎给他的父亲。
47. C 解析:联系空后的 angrily 以及“I cannot take a needle with me.”可知,守财奴很生气,
因此把针扔掉。
48. D 解析:守财奴虽然吝啬但并不糊涂,他对于裁缝儿子的要求感到很生气。说道:
“当然,我不可能带一根针走。我什么也带不走的。”
49. C 解析:联系空前的“I cannot take a needle with me.”可知,这个吝啬鬼说自己什么也
带不走。
50. D 解析:“那么你的数百万的钱财怎么带走?”裁缝儿子的这句问话实际上是反问
守财奴,你死后连一根小小的针都带不走,那么多的钱为什么不在死前好好地使用呢?其实
是在规劝守财奴请医生看病。
51. B 解析:根据下文的介绍可知,守财奴听到这—番话感到很震惊。
52. B 解析:联系空前的“he had foolishly held on to”可知,他过去一直愚蠢地死守着自己
的财富。
53. A 解析:他这才恍然大悟,明白财富应该是拿来使用的,而不是一味地存起来。
54. C 解析:守财奴明白了道理,于是不再吝啬,而是把钱财用在了做好事上。
55. D 解析:他花得越多,得到的越多,这是一个奇迹。
第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了古都洛阳。洛阳拥有悠久的、激动人心的历史
和诸多名胜古迹。对游客来说,洛阳是一个值得一游的城市。
56. when 解析:考查连词。when it comes to 为固定结构,意为“当提到……时”。故填
when。
57. attractive 解析:考查形容词。空处在句中作定语修饰 cities,用形容词 attractive“吸
引人的”。故填 attractive。
58. as 解析:考查介词。as 在句中意为“作为”。stand out as“作为……而出类拔萃”。
故填 as。
59. the 解析:考查冠词。此处用定冠词,特指中国文化和历史的发源地。故填 the。
60. is 解析:考查时态及主谓一致。文中客观介绍了洛阳的相关事实,用一般现在时。
空格处所在句为 there be 句型,句中主语为 no other city in China,所以 be 动词用第三人称单
数。故填 is。
61. dynasties 解析:考查名词的数。根据空前的“so many”可知此处用 dynasty 的复数形
式。故填 dynasties。
62. to offer 解析:考查非谓语动词。have 意为“有”时,后面接带 to 的不定式。故填 to
offer。
63. has been included 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。句中的时间状语“since 2000”表明空
格处用现在完成时态,且 which(指代 The Longmen Grottoes)与 include 之间是被动关系,故用
被动语态。故填 has been included。
64. constantly 解析:考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词 attract,故用副词。故填 constantly。
65. built 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,the earliest Buddhist temple 与 build 在
逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填 built。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分 40 分)
第一节 应用文写作(满分 15 分)
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I'm glad to know you'll come to our school as an exchange student next term. Since you want to
learn about Chinese body language in our daily life, let me tell you some.
We usually greet each other with head nodding, smiles, hand shaking and so on. During the
conversation, it's good manners to have eye contact instead of staring directly at others. In class,
students are required to raise their hands if they have any questions. Moreover, it's common to see
youth of the same sex hold hands or hug in public places.
I hope my introduction can be of some help to you. Whenever necessary, I'm always here to
give you a hand.
Looking forward to your arrival.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
An old gentleman stayed, admiring the tablecloth. At the same time, he said to the young man,
“What a coincidence! Many years ago my wife and I also owned such a tablecloth. But we lived
in Vienna then.” On hearing these words, the young man told the old man about his encounter with
the old woman in the house that snowy day. “Can it be true that she is alive?” asked the old man,
tears streaming down his checks. “How can I find her?” Fortunately, the young man remembered
her address.
Paragraph 2:
The young man drove the old man to that old woman's home. Together they knocked on her
apartment door. When she opened it, both of them recognised each other immediately. Obviously,
they were too surprised and excited to express themselves. With trembling hands, they hugged
tightly. “I was told you had died. How did you find me?” the old woman said. “Thanks to that
magical tablecloth,” the old man replied. The young man witnessed the tearful, joyful and thrilling
reunion of the husband and wife.

M: Did you fall out of bed last night? I woke up because of a big noise. I thought it was thunder,
but the sky was clear.
W: No, it was the wind. We had left the door open and the wind blew it shut.
Text 2
M: The train will leave in 25 minutes. Do you want to find a seat now, or should we get coffee
while we're waiting?
W: It doesn't seem too crowded, and I'm kind of hungry. Let's get some breakfast to go, and we
can eat on the train.
Text 3
W: Can we pick up groceries later? I have a dentist appointment at noon.
M: We've been up since 8:00. I'm hungry. The dentist's is around the corner, and we still have
two hours to get there.
Text 4
M: So, tell me about your new friend Cindy. What's she like?
W: She's really neat. She's younger than me, but she's great to be around because she makes me
laugh all the time. She's always telling jokes.
M: She must be pretty easygoing.
Text 5
W: When I got out of bed this morning, I nearly fell over. I was really dizzy. It must have been
tiredness.
M: I sometimes feel like that when I wake up. Anyway, I'm glad to see you're back to normal.

W: It looks like this game is completely sold out. How many people do you think are here right
now?
M: There are 20,000 seats in here. Have you ever been to a professional basketball game
before?
W: Only the ones at my university. Thanks again for buying the tickets. How much do I owe
you?
M: It's my treat. You can buy the next tickets. Why don't we go to the gift shop, and you can get
yourself a souvenir?
W: Sure. But at least let me get you a beer and a hot dog before we go back to our seats.
M: I can't say no to that.
Text 7
M: I got my book report back from my teacher, and she said I need to work on how I summarise
things on paper.
W: What were you trying to summarise?
M: It's a book we were reading in class. We had to give a brief summary of the plot.
W: When I used to read textbooks, I always tried to summarise what I had learned by speaking
it out loud. Then I just wrote it down on the paper.
M: Really?
W: If I couldn't do it, I knew I had to go back and read it again. Once I could do it naturally and
smoothly, I wrote it down.
M: That makes sense.
W: Here, take this. Read today's news, and then try and explain it to me.
M: What if I can't?
W: Then keep trying until you can.
Text 8
W: Those are healthy things you have in your basket—fresh cabbage, fresh tomatoes... Oh, and
fresh bacon. That's the only thing that might not be good for you.
M: Hey, sis, we're not children any more. You don't need to look after me like you did in my
childhood. Even wives don't worry so much over their husbands.
W: Well, if we want to reach the age of our grandparents', we need to stay healthy. When I
queue at the checkout behind some people, I am amazed at the unhealthy things they have in their
baskets. No wonder they are overweight, unfit and always feeling ill.
M: I think you have to keep a balance. I try to buy mostly healthy things, but I don't get stressed
if I sometimes feel like something less healthy, like the bacon. If I don't feel cheerful, sometimes I
have a bar of chocolate.
W: I agree. Sometimes if I have a headache, I have a few cans of beer, even though that's not
particularly good for me.
Text 9
M: Mom, can we get a dog?
W: Dogs need a lot of attention, Jeffrey. Do you think you can handle that kind of responsibility?
It's harder than you think.
M: Of course I can. I'll take it for walks every day, and clean up after it.
W: Do you know what kind of dog you want?
M: Yes, I've been looking at some pictures on the Internet. This one with the long golden hair is
named Lion.
W: He's very cute, but we don't have enough room for a dog that big. Those dogs need space to
run around, and we live in an apartment. I think we should get a small one.
M: OK, then what about this one? My friend has one like this, and everyone likes it.
W: Those kinds of dogs always have health problems. Plus, they bark a lot. We don't want to
annoy our neighbours.
M: So what do you suggest?
W: First, we aren't getting one from a pet store. They are too expensive. I know a place that
saves dogs and gives them away for free.
M: OK.
W: And second, you need to show me you have the sense of responsibility. That means cleaning
your room, doing your homework, and helping around the house.
M: I promise!
Text 10
M: As a young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I liked to
run and build swings. At that stage I hadn't yet learned to climb or swim, but that is something I
would also have loved to do. One day we had a physical education class at school. We did the long
jump and handstands, but it was when I had to do a forward roll that disaster struck. Somehow, I
twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly and the teachers were very
concerned. An ambulance was called and I was taken to hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar
and I was told to do no exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very
bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at
home. I wasn't interested in love stories—I avoided those—but crime and adventure did appeal.
From those eight weeks I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the
doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to
devote more time to my new love—reading.
