Many people were also trapped in their homes.

Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels.
In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber
room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’ s winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.
Later, Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world,it is now missing.
In September 1941 , the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that,what happened to the Amber Room remain a mystery.
23.What did Frederick William I get when he sent the Amber Room to Peter the Great?
A.A box of treasure.
B. A team of soldiers.
C.A piece of open land.
D.A great palace.
25. Who used the Amber Room as a small reception hall?
A.Frederick I
B. Frederick William I
C. Peter the Great
D. Catherine Ⅱ
26.What do we know about the Amber Room?
A.Tons of yellow-brown honey were used to make it.
B.The Amber Room was found at the summer palace.
C.More details were added to the Amber Room by Catherine Ⅱ.
D.27 wooden boxes inside the room were stolen by the Nazis.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.The search for the lost Amber Room.
B. The history of the Amber Room.
C. The use of the Amber Room.
D. The history of Russia.
C
America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society (社会) in many ways —education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position (职位、地位), marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that
kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age”any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
28.It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.
A.has changed people’s understanding of age
B.has made people feel younger
C.has changed people’s social position
D.has slowed down the country’s social development
29. The underlined word ‘one’ in the first paragraph refers to____.
A. a place
B. America
C. a society
D. population
30. “Act your age ” in the last paragraph means people should ______.
A. do the right thing at the right age
B. be active when they are old
C. show respect for their parents young or the old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
31. If a 20-year-old man becomes general manager of a big company, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______.
A. wonderful
B. normal
C. unbelievable
D. unreasonable
D
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement
between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.
A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silence in conversations？
A. It implies anger.
B.It is culture-specific.
C. It promotes friendship.
D. It is content-based.
33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？
A. The Russians.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans.
D. The Chinese.
34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence？
A. Make use of its healing effects.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
35. What may be the best title for the text？
A. Sound and Silence
B.Silence to Native Americans
C. What It Means to Be Silent
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)
第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空格处填上适当内容（不多于三个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

As an old English saying goes, “Honesty is the best policy.” It is more than an old cliche（陈词滥调）, but 61 good way to live your life.
First, honesty is the 62 (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always cost them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.
Second, honesty gives us much 63 (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people 64 (pay) a price for their acts. On the contrary, when we are honest, we are 65 (true) free.
If there were two people 66 (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person 67 is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely 68 (believe)? I am sure most people would side with the honest person. Either we live in the truth 69 we live in lies. The truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is 70 (you). What will you choose?

Dear Tom,
I’m sorry for not being able to pay a visit to Beijing next weekend with you.
Because there are many friends of mine facing a coming English exam, which is without doubt important for them. They are looking forward to my giving a hand to them and they hope to get through the exam successfully. As a result, I will be busy helping them at that time. In addition, I will attend a party which aims to raise money for the poor children of remote areas, who can’t go to school for lack of money.
In short, I’m afraid I’ll have no time to accompany you. So I want to put off our time of the visit until the first weekend of next month. Is it OK? Looking forward to your early reply.。
