Shopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20th century. Early in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street.

It was my first day in Hangzhou, the Chinese city famous for its natural beauty and history and I didn't have much time to spare. I wanted to see 16 much of the city as possible in the two days 17 I returned to Guangzhou. My first task was to decide where to go and 18 to get there. I took out my guide book in which there was a lot of information about the city's well-known tourist 19 (attract) and started to read. At that moment 20 attractive young lady who noticed my book came up to me and introduced 21 .She said her name was Miss Bai and she kindly offered to show me 22 the city. I was delighted and was about to accept her proposal when she suggested we first go to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge. I quite liked the idea of visiting the West Lake but wasn't so sure about 23 (cross) the Broken Bridge. 24 it was broken, did she expect me to jump across? And I couldn't swim, so if I fell in then I would drown. That was definitely not an attractive idea so I politely declined her invitation, 25 (close) my book and walked away.Ⅲ.阅读第一节阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

AWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work.. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.26．What is the passage mainly about?A．The importance of working hard at school.B．Choosing a career accordi ng to one’s strengths.C．How to face one’s weakness.D．The value of school work.27. The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably ___.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyC. of great use for his work in the futureD. a waste of time he could have spent on study28．From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ___________.A．should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB．will be regretful about his bad resultsC．may also do well in his future workD．should restart his study in school29. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Para. 3) probably means “_______”.A. be clumsy at doing thingsB. be skillful in doing thingsC. be not interested in certain thingsD. be easily bored in doing things30．From the last paragraph we know one should _________.A．make full use of one’s own weak pointsB．study harder for a new school recordC．apologize for one’s own school recordD．fac e one’s own weak points bravelyBAs goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense.When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wireless, washing machine, electric kettle) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was fully repaid.Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest jets(喷气式飞机), in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times; but wouldn’t it be better to see airfares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant? Again, in the context of a 70 m. p. h. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other’s speeds, improvements in performance are actually irrelevant; improvements in handling are unnecessary, as most production cars grip（抓牢）the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars — or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets —which are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing, but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.31. The author is obviously challenging the social norm (社会规范) that ________________.A. it is important to improve goods and servicesB. development of technology makes our life more comfortableC. it is reasonable that prices are going up all the timeD. slightly improved new products are worth buying32. According to this passage, airfares may rise because ______________.A. the airplane has been improvedB. people tend to travel by new airplanesC. the change is found to be reasonableD. the service on the airplane is better than before33. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they ____________.A. could fly in the latest model of good planesB. could get tickets at much lower pricesC. see the airlines make vital changes in their servicesD. could spend less time flying in the air34. When manufactures have improved the performance of their products to a certain level, then itwould be _______________.A. justified for them to cut the priceB. unnecessary for them to make any new changesC. difficult and costly to further better themD. insignificant for them to cut down the research costs35. In the case of cars, the author advises that we _____________.A. cancel the speed limitB. further improve their performanceC. change models every two yearsD. improve their durability (耐久性)CIt was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older bothe r and I lived with Mom in an ugly multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’ hoofs(马蹄) from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d lie on Mon’s bed and stare for hours at the tv screen.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, swithed off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”We moaned（不满,发牢骚）and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”So pretty soon there were these two peevish（坏脾气的）boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books.I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers（河狸）. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them againand again with the flip（快速翻动）of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery(儿童神经外科)at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began the day Mom switched off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.36.

Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be standard —that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain used to spell words differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling. Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced all written dialect forms —the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling —Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today. All written Englishshould be Standard English — any grammar rules you learn are for Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work. The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.Avoid slang words —words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand. You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write. Don’t use dialect words. Every region has words or phrases that are only used there. Don’t use them in your coursework, because you won’t be understood. Make sure you revise grammar an d punctuation you have learned, and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made. Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, “As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés. So are images like, “as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”. If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative — that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style. So avoid clichés.41. What three things do you have to think about when using English?a. no slang word or dialectb. no grammar and spelling mistake.c. no phrased. no clichée. no punctuationA. abc.B. bcd.C. ade.D. abd.42.

What is the cliché according to the passage?A. the English full of slang words.B. the boring ideas or sayings because of being used often.C. the long phrases which are used often.D. all the English which is used outside of London and the southeast of Britain.44. Why do we need to use Standard English?A. Because no one can understand dialect words.B. Because there are many kinds of English in the world, we need Standard English to makecommunication easier.C. Because local dialect belongs to certain region, not every one can understand it.D. Becausestandard English has been used for a long time.45. Which statement is true?A.
