A
While travelling to Newcastle in the UK to visit relatives, I arrived in London to find my plane transfer nort h to Newcastle had been cancelled（取消) due to deteriorating weather conditions.
The airline was helpful—offering me a choice between a night in a hotel or a six-hour bus ride to my destination. With no indication as to whether a flight to Newcastle would happen in the next two days, I chose the bus ride.
I stored all my baggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, thinking I would not need anything on the journey.
The young lady sitting beside me could see how tired I was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.
I realized that I had left my cell phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. They would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to Newcastle, not knowing what had happened. Without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her cell phone.
When the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if I was getting out. I replied that I wouldn’t as I still had sandals on, and bare feet weren’t ideal for the cold weather, When she got back on, she’d bought me some tea and a packet of sweets to e at.
When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me. I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but when I looked up she had gone I was unable to even verbally thank her.
21. We learn from the passage that ____________.
A. the author had little money to buy the air ticket from London to Newcastle.
B. the author’s relatives missed meeting her in London.
C. the author probably flew to London from a warm place.
D. the author’s cell phone wasn’t functioning in Britain.
22. Which of the following information is of great importance to the author’s relatives?
A. Why the flight was called off.
B. When the author would arrive.
C. Where the author was put up.
D. Why the flight was delayed.
23. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. British people always suffer from terrible weather in winter.
B. The author was grateful to the airline.
C. The author was kind of careless.
D. British people are usually helpful.
B
Are you bored and lonely? Do you want to make new friends? Do long working hours make it difficult for you to g et out and about to meet new people? Maybe you or your friends have moved to a new area and this has left you feeling alone.
Even if you are already a very sociable person you may still find that your existing friends do not share the same interests and feelings. You may have a satisfying social life, but you still find you have no one to travel with you. You may have your circle of friends, but you find that none of them will go with you for the activities or sports that interest you most. These are just a few of the reasons why millions of people search online to find new friends.
Matchmaking websites are good tools to help you make friends online. Profile matching technologies enable you to search for new friends by age, gender（性别）, location, interests and much more. You can make friends near you or anywhere in the world and learn about new countries, cultures and lifestyles.
Making friends online is easy and anonymous（匿名的）as members get to know you by your username only. You can contact members by sending messages, posting information on discussion forums （论坛）or sharing online chat rooms.
When you are ready, you can take your new friendships into the real world by arranging meet-ups to share your common interests. If you prefer to meet in numbers, you can join or create your own local groups for members to join to share interests and activities near you.
24. You have no one to travel with you probably because ____.
A. your friends don’t like you any longer
B. few of your friends are true friends
C. you have few friends in your life
D. none of your friends like traveling
25. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Modern science is developing very fast.
B. The Internet can help you to make friends.
C. It is interesting to make friends online.
D. You can learn new lifestyles and cultures online.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. You can share interests with your online friends.
B. It is very dangerous to make friends online.
C. Online friends are usually not your true friends.
D. It is rather difficult to make friends now.
C
There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is need ed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember v ocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.
To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a languag e proficiency test.
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.
27. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.
B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.
C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.
D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.
28. From Henning's result we can see that ________.
A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words
B. advanced students always remember words by their meaning
C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike
D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning
29. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.
A. memory
B. the theme of listening material
C. a branch of knowledge studied
D. the student experimented on
30. The passage centers on ________.
A. memory
B. two kinds of memory
C. short-term memory
D. an experiment on students
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（把正确答案填涂在答案卷，答题卡31～35不填涂）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Lots of people give you advice on overcoming (克服) fear. 31 However, I want to tell
you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear
as a friend. Here are three reasons.
32 Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams?
Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends?
33 If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?
Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors
(祖先) didn’t run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it
for food. Now, most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do
face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do? 34
Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters (过山车)? 35 Same
for horror movies.
So fear can guide you towards what’s important f or you and encourage you to take action
to improve your situation. Don’t we all need that kind of friend?
A. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.
B. Don’t fear to be wrong.
C. They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.
D. It frightens us in a mostly safe way.
E. Imagine what life would be like without fear.
F. Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.
G. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.

Dear Zhang Lin,
You asked me to search for some information about London’s Chinatown on the Internet. The
following is what I have got for you.
London’s Chinatown is located in the center of London. Since the 1950s, it has been one of the
city’s best k nown tourist spots and cultural centers for Chinese communities in London. In Chinatown, you can see the signs of the shops in English as well as in Chinese. Chinese restaurants
are the most fascinating places here. On Friday evenings, every restaurant is crowded with customers.
It’s very convenient for you to get there by public transport, and taking the Underground is
the fastest way. Chinatown is not big. It takes just 15 minutes to go around it. But I’m sure
the short trip is worthwhile.
Yours,
Li Hua
