B After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing.
9、 With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didnt go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first subway that came along. After a few minutes I asked in English a young man seated next to me w
10、here I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldnt he? Unfortunately, he couldnt understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters
11、(汉字). He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage(车厢)subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand. In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasnt smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, thats reall
12、y rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didnt just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the subway, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me. All this came from a man who couldnt
13、 speak my language, and I couldnt speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.

16、reful B.introduce a young man who dont know English C.complain some cultural misunderstanding D.describe one of his adventurous experiences C Youre enjoying a quiet evening at home when suddenly your neighbors dog starts barking(吠叨)and doesnt stop. Sure, dogs need to bark every now and then, but if
17、the barking is getting in the way of your daily life, you need to do something. “Before you take action, make records of when the dog is disturbing,” says expert Sharon Schweitzer. “Record the dates and time when the barking appears to find out the features of the barking. Check them carefully and g
18、et your facts straight. You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms.” After two to three weeks, visit your neighbors with the facts. “Since youre trying to keep a good relationship, you cant go when youre angry and frustrated,” says Schweitzer. Plus
19、, your neighbors might not even realize the barking is a problem, for the worst noise may happen when theyre gone. Explain the time when the barking gets bad, then suggest a way to solve the problem. “You can sit and complain all day, but that will go nowhere,” says Schweitzer. Ask if the dog can st
20、ay inside during the storm, or suggest a dog training class. Be open to compromise(妥协)because the owners might have other ideas about how to deal with the noise. Befriending the dog could help. Have your neighbors introduce you to their dogs. “If they become more comfortable in your presence, theyre
21、 less likely to bark when they see you or when theyre in the backyard,”says Schweitzer. You might even be able to use commands such as “quiet” once the dog trusts you. Avoid gossiping(说长道短)with other neighbors about the dog.“Thats when things escalate.” After all, most people will want to solve the
22、problem. 8.What can you do first when the barking of your neighbors dog influences your life? A.Bring the dog to a training class. B.Show it to your neighborhoods. C.Drive it out of your neighborhood. D.Record the dates and time of the barking. 9.Why are your neighbors less likely to realize the bar
23、king problem? A.They may like the barking. B.They all think their dogs are friendly. C.They have been used to the barking of the dogs. D.They may be out when the worst barking happens. 10.What does the underlined word “escalate” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Become better. B.Become worse. C
24、.Remain unchanged. D.Become more personal. 11.What can be inferred from the text? A.Love me, love my dog. B.Barking dogs seldom bite. C.Good communication is a must. D.Treat violence with violence(暴力). D A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in th
25、e world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change
26、 as we grow. So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours sleep and react properly to their bodys natural rhythms(节律). There has been a general change over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching tim
27、e (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks. Later start time could help teens grades and health. This is mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Managing hundreds of children “playing” requires effective
28、 staffing. And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly managed must be better. But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient
29、 history. And teaching staff also move through from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus. Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For te
30、achers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that? 12.At what time do the students start their first lesson in the US? A.7:00 am. B.7:30 am. C.8:00 am. D.8:30 am. 13.How do schools often shorten the school day? A.They reduce childrens lunch time and lesson
31、 breaks. B.They reduce the teaching time. C.They properly adjust childrens natural rhythms. D.They increase more holidays. 14.Whats the purpose of the short lesson breaks according to the text? A.To make children behave better in class. B.To make children quickly take in what they learned. C.To redu
32、ce childrens excitement. D.To manage children more easily. 15.What can we learn about later school start time from the text? A.It will add to the teachers pressure. B.It has always been there for 25 years. C.Parents may support it. D.It benefits the students only. 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5分) 阅读下

One reason is that English has so many rules. 16 Sometimes, this leaves learners confused. For example, the order of words in a sentence can be tricky. 17 The pronunc
34、iation of English words cannot always be judged by their spelling. For example, there are at least six ways to pronounce the group of letters spelled o-u-g-h. And, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions, in English. 18 So, it is comforting to know that learning ro
35、ot words can help a non-native speaker use English. 19 Root words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings. Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English. 20 Then where can a root be found? A root can be any part of a wo

The prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end. A.A root word is the most basic form of a word. B.The English have always been fond of all kinds o
37、f rules. C.You could say we use idioms like theyre going out of style. D.And there are almost as many exceptions(例外)as those rules! E.Most English root words came from the Greek and Latin languages. F.Another reason why English is hard to learn is the pronunciation of its words. G.So, by learning 20
38、 or 30 root words, you can increase your vocabulary to hundreds of new words. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分 30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给癿 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处癿最佳选项。 “None of us get out of life alive, so be brave and be thankful for all the opportunities you have.” Those we
