II 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)

第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

(A)

The old monk sat by the side of the road. With his eyes closed, his legs crossed and his hands folded in his lap, he sat. In deep thinking, he sat. Suddenly the peace and silence was interrupted by the harsh and demanding voice of a samurai.(武士) “Old man! Teach me about heaven and hell!” At first, as though he had not heard, there was no response from the monk. But gradually he began to open his eyes, the faintest hint of a smile playing around the corners of his mouth as the samurai stood there, waiting impatiently, growing more and more irritated with each passing second.

“You wish to know the secrets of heaven and hell?” replied the monk at last. “You who are untidy. You whose hands and feet are covered with dirt. You whose hair is uncombed, whose breath is awful, whose sword is all rusty and neglected. You who are ugly and whose mother dresses you funny. You would ask me of heaven and hell?” The samurai uttered a curse. He drew his sword and raised it high over his head. His face turned red, and the veins of his neck stood out as he prepared to cut the monk's head from its shoulders. “That is hell,” said the old monk gently, just as the sword began its descent.

In that fraction of a second, the samurai was overcome with amazement, awe, compassion and love for this gentle being who had dared to risk his very life to give him such a teaching. He stopped his sword in mid-flight and his eyes filled with grateful tears. “And that,” said the monk, “is heaven.”

26. The underlined word “irritated” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to _______.

A. angry B. scared C. amused D. disappointed

27. It can be learnt from Paragraph 2 that the monk ________.

A. looked down upon the samurai

D. described what the hell looked like

28. The samurai is all the following EXCEPT ________.

A. impatient B. rude C. inspired D. fearless

29. The monk analyzed the differences between heaven and hell by ________.

A. making careful comparison B. giving detailed definitions

C. enriching others’ experience D. sharing inspiring stories

30. Which can be the best title of the text?

A. The monk and the samurai B. The secrets of heaven and hell

(B)

The tennis tournament must have attracted many devoted fans to stay up all night, watch the games and shout and yell in front of the TV. However, watching a tennis match in a stadium is very different: while it’s more exciting, it’s not as informal as being at a soccer match. When you watch a tennis match, certain things are expected of you.

In recent years, the dress code for tennis spectators has generally become more relaxed. Those in VIP boxes have to dress more formally, for example, wearing suits. For most audiences, comfort is their main concern. Wear something comfortable such as shorts, tank tops or T-shirts. Light colors are recommended. Wear comfortable shoes because you may have to walk a long way. A hat or a pair of sunglasses is also necessary. Going barefoot or removing your shirt is forbidden.

While cheering is a great part of tennis, booing(发出嘘声) is never appropriate. Tennis isn’t like other professional team sports, where fans are one side and hate the other team. It’s natural for people to have favorite players they want to cheer for, but they should be courteous to the opponent.

Naturally, at some point you may have to get up to go to the restroom or to get something to eat. Tennis players change sides after odd numbered games, and they get a small break at that time. This is the best time to leave or return to your seat. Try not to stand in the aisles at any time. Try not to distract others.

Signs are common in sports, but not in tennis. Holding up a clever sign in an effort to get on TV may appeal, but it can distract the players. It can also be disrespectful to other spectators, if it blocks their view.

Tennis is there for you to enjoy, and if you follow the basic unwritten rules, you will get a lot more out of the experience.

31. For ordinary audiences, it is not allowed to __________.

A. get dressed in dark colors

B. take off their shoes

C. wear shorts and sunglasses

D. wear casual clothes

32. What attitude should the fans hold towards the opponent?

A. Devoted. B. Disrespectful. C. Polite. D. Objective.

33. Holding up signs _________.

A. may prevent others watching the game

B. shows respect for the fans on the other side

C. distracts TV audiences from enjoying the game

D. is not common to in sports games

34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Watching a football game is more casual than a tennis match.

B. Fans dislike the other team in some professional team sports.

C. It is not polite that devoted fans yell in front of the TV.

D. Audiences are suggested leaving their seats during the break.

35. The passage is mainly about _________.

A. do’s and don’ts in a tennis match

B. skills of appreciating a tennis tournament

C. differences between tennis and football matches

D. rules for watching a live tennis match

(C)

When you've seen a couple fighting or having a pity argument, what is the first thing that comes in your mind? Probably you think that you will never allow arguments to set in your relationship, especially when you get married, or will never think to start one, but arguments seem to come naturally.

You argue about the brand of coffee, or what to eat at lunch, who will do the dishes, etc. Sometimes, more than that, but regardless of your reasons for the argument (or fight), fixing a troubled relationship and having a solution is very important.

Our partners are our most valuable fortunes. Companions provide a listening ear for our troubles, support for our dreams, and a safety net when we fall. They give us love, even when we are unlovable. They are and must be our friends.

Inevitably, though, sometimes we go through troubled periods and a solution should be sought through the following steps:

Address the situation. Admit to your partner that something is wrong and needs to be fixed.

Determine the problem. Together, discuss what problems we are facing. Be honest and let your honesty be in its proper place. Remember, you are talking to your partner, another half of yourself.

Apologize. We accept responsibility for our actions and seek forgiveness.

Refuse to blame. In addition, we must avoid defending ourselves. There could be a temptation to argue over who did what; however, the goal is not proving who is right but saving the relationship.

Begin repairs. Ask,"What can I do to rebuild our relationship?" The key here is to do willingly whatever is requested.

Commit to rebuilding. Immediately start investing your time, energy, and love in restoring the relationship. In order to have a good relationship with a partner who accepts and loves us, we must be willing to pay the high price of patching up the broken relationship. Walking away might seem easier, but in the long run, we would lose a valuable treasure.

36. It is essential to fix a troubled relationship in that __________.

A. arguments seem to come naturally

B. arguments are not allowed in a good relationship

C. companions provide us with comfort and support

D. sometimes we inevitably go through troubled periods

37. The solutions to fixing a troubled relationship do NOT include __________.

A. asking for forgiveness of the mistakes

B. bravely facing the existing problems

C. being honest when discussing the problems

D. trying to speak for ourselves to protect our rights

38. The author does NOT agree that __________.

A. our partners are our most valuable treasures

B. it’s sensible to ignore the heated argument for a while

C. proving who is to blame has nothing to do with the solution

D. it takes time, energy, and love to rebuild the broken relationship

39. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.

A. avoiding B. repairing C. keeping D. ignoring

40. The purpose of the text is to __________.

A. tell how to sensibly deal with troubled relationships

B. confirm that arguments are common in daily life

C. encourage people to invest love in a relationship

D. persuade people not to blame those who make mistakes

(D)

Bissel is a small village of the West Sahara. It lies next to a l.5-squarekilometer oasis(绿洲), from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. However, before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926, none of the people had walked out of the desert. Reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this barren land, but had no way to walk out of it after they had tried many times.

As an expert of the British Royal College of Sciences, Ken Levin did not believe this viewpoint. He asked the reason of the people here but got the same answer: to whichever direction they went from here, they would eventually return to this place. To prove this parlance, he did an experiment. He went north from Bissel Village and finally walked out from it in three and a half days.

Why couldn’t the Bissel villagers walk out of it? Ken Levin was very puzzled. He had to employ a Bissel villager to lead the way and wanted to find out the reason. They prepared the water that could be used for half a month and two camels, but this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass, following the man.

Ten days later, they walked for about 800 miles. On the 11^th morning, an oasis came into their view. They really came back again to Bissel. This time, Ken Levin came to understand that the Bissel people couldn’t walk out of the desert because they had no knowledge of the North Star. In the desert, if a person goes forward relying on his or her sense, he or she will make lots and lots of circles of different sizes, and the final footprints will be most likely the shape of a tape.

Leaving Bissel Village, Ken Levin brought a young man called Argutel, the man who had cooperated with him last time. He told the young man, “As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk out of the desert.” Argutel did as he was told. Three days later, he came to the edge of the desert.

Now in the West Sahara Bissel has been a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come here. Argutel’s bronze statue stands in the center of the town. On the base of the bronze statue a saying was carved.

41. Villagers in Bissel didn’t walk out of the desert because ________.

A. they loved the land where they were born

B. they were discouraged by their failures

C. they believed they had no way out

D. they knew little about astronomy

42. The underlined word “parlance” (Paragraph 2) most probably means ________.

A. theory B. idea C. truth D. argument

43. According to the passage, Ken Levin ________.

A. became the first man to walk out of the West Sahara desert

B. was energetic and physically healthy and strong

C. came to Bissel to do experiments on behalf of his college

D. taught Bissel villagers science and technology after he arrived

44. It can NOT be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. a person depending on his sense always makes mistakes

B. the use of compass was vital in the walk out of the desert

C. tourism in Bissel was greatly developed and improved

D. Argutel was thought highly of by the local people in Bissel

45. Which of the following sayings will most probably be carved on the base of the statue?

A. A long journey starts with the first step.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. A new life starts from the fixed direction.

D. Two heads are better than one.

A.

As you grow older

you will discover your have two hands,

one for helping yourself,

the other for helping others.

The beauty of a girl

is not in the clothes she wears,

the figure that she carries,

or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a girl

must be seen from in her eyes,

because that is the doorway to her heart.

B.

Many people will walk in and out of your life,

But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Friends, you and me.
You brought another friend.

And then there were three.

We started our group,

Our circle of friends

And like that circle,

There is no beginning or end.

C.

Hold fast your dreams

Within your heart.

Keep one still, secret spot

Where dreams may go,

And, sheltered so,

May thrive and grow

Where doubt and fear are not.

O keep a place apart,

Within your heart,

For little dreams to go!

D.

Be thankful when you don't know something,

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times,

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes,

They will teach you valuable lessons.

E.

Time, such a precious word,

It gives us the gift of moments.

Moments are so beautiful

We are left with footprints in our minds,

Only be grateful that it happened.

So cherish every moment,

Live life to the fullest,

Because you never know

when your time will pass with the wind.

F.

If you are honest,

people will trust you.

It is important for a person

to have a reputation for being honest.

If a person is dishonest,

no one will want to be his friend.

He will soon become an outcast.

On the other hand,

an honest man wins the respect of others.

Honesty is, indeed, the best policy.

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy began lessons with a judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.  “Teacher,” the boy finally said, “shouldn't I learn more moves?” “This is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the teacher replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient. The boy finally used his one move to win the match.

On the way home, the boy reviewed every move in each match. Then the boy couldn’t help asking his teacher, “Sir, how did I win the matches with only one move?” “You won for two reasons. First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

I 语言知识及应用(共两节，满分45分)

第一节 完形填空 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)

1. B根据该句的oldest和regular weekend engineering repair work，得知这里应该选age。因为地铁历史悠久，所以经常需要维修。

2. C地铁设施属于transport system(“运输系统”)，该句回应了第一段对the Tube的描述(the railway, the underground)，但也指出：伦敦地铁不仅仅是一个运输系统，因为下文也继续提到，伦敦地铁还是人们体会诗歌文学的场所。

3. A根据关键词rush hour(上下班的高峰期)，得知这里选择crowded“拥挤的”。

4. D诗歌属于literature(文学)的范畴，而且根据上文提到reading thick books和there is another way，得知此处指另一种人们阅读文学作品的方式。

5. Crandomly“随机地”，根据解释“without a targeted group or a fixed topic”可推知答案。

6. Bsmoothly意思是“顺利地”，根据“achieved great success”得知项目开展(run)顺利。

7. A根据该句出现的randomly和either …or…这个句型，得知这里应该选一个单词和great相反，因此选unknown(不知名的)，干扰项normal(正常的)，与之相反的词是abnormal(不正常的)。

8. D本文介绍地铁上阅读诗歌的例子，因此这里选passengers(乘客)，倒数第二段第1句也出现了passengers一词。

9. C根据classical or contemporary的这一对反义词结构，这里选择与domestic(国内的)相对应的词，因此选international(国际的，超越国际的)。

10. A选择与love对应的词，“无论人们喜欢诗歌还是讨厌诗歌，事实上证明这个项目能够成功向人们介绍诗歌。”

11. D本文讲的就是在地铁上阅读诗歌，因此选D。

12. C根据edition(版次，版本)这个词，推断这里选publication(出版，出版物)。

13. B上一段提到Poems on the Underground，结合全文提到的在地铁上阅读诗歌，因此这里选择carriages(车厢)。

14.D根据“sections(部分、章节) such as love, music, nature, war, and loss”，选择classify(分类)。刊物把诗歌分成几个类别。

15. B本文讲述的是，在地铁上提供诗歌给人们阅读，因此地铁成为了英国宣传文化的堡垒。诗歌属于文化的范畴。

第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

本文讲述一位当地居民尽自己最大努力拯救海滩上的海星的故事。

II 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)

第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

(A)和尚启发武士领悟天堂与地狱的区别。

26. A词义猜测题。根据前后文以及关键词impatiently，选项A(生气的)最符合语境。scared意思是“害怕的”，amused意思是“被逗笑的；愉快的”，disappointed意思是“失望的”。

27. C细节理解题。第二段中和尚辱骂武士，目的在于激怒武士并让其亲身感受到“地狱”的意味，因此选C。

28. D细节理解题。选项A可通过第一段最后1句得知，选项B可通过第二段总结得出，选项C可根据最后一段得出，选项D在文中找不到依据。

29. C总结归纳题。和尚通过让武士从自己的情绪变化亲自体验天堂与地狱的差别，因此选C。选项A是“作比较”，选项B是“下定义”，选项D是“分享故事”。

30. B主旨大意题。选项A过于空洞，没有体现故事的内容，选项C、D片面，只覆盖了一位主要人物，仍未体现出故事的主旨，因此不是正确选项。和尚通过对话引导武士领悟天堂与地狱的区别，因此选项B最能体现故事大意。

(B)本文主要介绍现场观看网球比赛时的规则和注意事项。

31. B细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句，Going barefoot or removing your shirt are forbidden. 因此选B，take off their shoes和going barefoot相对应。

32. C细节理解题。根据语境可推断，courteous的意思是“有礼貌的”。句意：很自然，人们会为他们喜欢的选手而欢呼，但他们也应该对对方选手保持礼貌的态度。该段讲述的是现场观看比赛的礼仪、礼貌，因此也不难推断选C。devoted意为“忠诚的”，不符合逻辑；disrespectful意为“不尊敬的”，与前句不构成转折关系，因此不是正确选项；objective意为“客观的”。

33. A细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句，得知选项A为正确答案，选项B与原文第五段第3句不符，选项C错在了“TV audiences”，原文指的是现场观看时对现场观众的影响，选项D与原文第五段第一句不符。

34. C细节理解题。选项A根据第一段倒数第二句推知答案，选项B根据第三段第二句得出，选项D根据第四段倒数第三句得出。选项C在原文找不到依据。

35. D主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句和最后一段最后一句，得知本文主要讲述现场观看网球比赛时(a live tennis match)的规则和注意事项。选项A不够具体，没有提及“在比赛现场观看比赛”，选项B中skills不符合本文重点，选项C的内容仅仅出现在第一段，因此不能作为全文主旨。

(C)本文论述如何修补破裂关系。

36. C细节理解题，通过第三段可得知。第二段和第三段是相互呼应、前后衔接的。注意：in that意思是“因为”。

37. D细节理解题。A、B、C分别在第七、五、六段找到答案。D项与第段avoid defending ourselves矛盾。

38. B理解作者观点、态度。从文章最后一段最后一句，可得知作者不赞同回避问题，因为长期这样下去，会失去生命中宝贵的财富。

39. B词义猜测题。前文讲的是如何修补破裂关系，此处patch up意思是“修补”。

40. A主旨大意题。文章第一至三段是引入论述主题，都是为第四至十段“如何修补关系裂痕”作铺垫的。因此选A。其他选项过于片面，仅仅是文章提及的某个方面而已。

(D)本文讲述西撒哈拉沙漠中一个小村庄的村民走出沙漠的故事。

41. D细节理解题。根据第四段第四句中的because they had no knowledge of the North Star 可找到答案。North Star的意思是北极星，当地人对北极星一无所知，表明他们缺乏天文常识。选项A与第一段最后一句的they were not unwilling to leave…不符，选项B中的they were discouraged在文中并没有提及，选项C与原文不符，村民并没有认为他们没有路可以走出去(had no way out)，而是他们尝试了多次后仍然找不到走出沙漠的办法。选项C中的way表示“路”，原文第一段最后一句中的way表示“方法”。

42. B词义推断题。根据该段第一句中出现的关键词“viewpoint” ，parlance一词也是指当地人对不能走出沙漠的观点和看法，因此选项B最贴近。当地人的说法还没有得到验证，缺乏事实和理论依据，因此不能选择A(“理论”)和C(“真相”)。选项D表示“争论、论据”，当地人对不能走出沙漠持一致的看法，因此选项D也不正确。

43. A细节理解题。结合第一段第三句以及第二段最后1句，可得知选择答案A，其余选项均在文中找不到依据。

44. A推理判断题。选项A表述不全面，在文中找不到依据。选项B根据第三段最后一句“but this time Ken Levin didn’t bring his compass”推断得出。之前Ken Levin携带了指南针，于是他成功地走出了沙漠。当他没有带指南针，靠当地人单凭方向感的指路时，他们失败了，因此可以看出指南针的重要性。选项C可通过最后一段最后一句“bright pearl, tens of thousands of tourists”推断得出。选项D可通过最后一段最后一句“Argutel的青铜像矗立在小镇的中央”得知，Argutel在当地有很高的威望。

45. C主旨概括题，通过谚语总结该故事的思想意义。本文提到了“方向，指南针”对走出沙漠的重要性。有了指南针的指引，有了具体的方向，村民走出了沙漠，也带动了当地的旅游事业，迎来了崭新的生活，因此选C。选项A的意思是“千里之行始于足下”，比喻事情的成功，是从小到大逐渐积累起来的；选项B的意思是“有志者事竟成”，强调意志对成功的作用；选项D的意思是“集思广益”，强调集体的智慧。

Dear Zhang Ming,

I’m writing to share with you a story that a boy, with his left arm lost, was taught only one judo move, but defeated his opponents because the move, for which the defense was to grab one’s left hand, turned his weakness into strength.

I also have weaknesses and what frustrates me most is that I have a strong local accent when I am speaking English. Much as I like to communicate with foreigners, I find it difficult to make myself understood. Worst still, I am often laughed at when asked to answer questions in class.

Despite the fact that I am poor at my spoken English, I don’t give up. Instead, I try to build up my confidence by doing more practice, such as listening to some BBC news, imitating the pronunciation of native speakers, reading some English aloud every morning. Besides, I talk to some of my close friends in English so that they can help me with some improvements in my speech.

My dearest friend, positively face your weakness and you are certain to overcome the difficulty. Wish you great progress in your English study.

Yours,

Li Hua
