The Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, 5151 Cote St. on WednesdayBA 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives across the world.Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges youngpeople to “design something that solves a problem”.Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ” he says, “It’s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time,” he says.There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transporta tion is the primary function(功能) of his invention..26. What’s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries?A. It can save more energy.B. It can send more vaccines at a time.C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition.D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.27. The James Dyson Award is present to _____________.A. old scientists who have developed modern technology.B. young men who have solved problems with their designsC. doctors who have saved people’s lives in developing countriesD. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The production of a new fridge and its future.B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor.C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem.D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won’t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No.Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven’t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don’t want the pain cycle to continue and I don’t want to become someone I don’t want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). Y ou don’t have to wait to live. Do something today.29. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to(指) __________.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to ___________.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behavesselfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others”32. The writers talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.A. give an exampleB. make a comparisonC. share a good storyD. set the background33. According to the writer, we usually judge others__________.A. over big matters instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about their situationC. about the real reasons behind their behaviorD. for our own survival when feeling threatened34. What does the underlined sentence ”Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean?A. Never believe others have pain.B. Never pay attention to others’ pain.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You’ve Got a Reason to Judge4.任务型阅读British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word ‘sorry’—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying ‘Sorry to bot her you. Do you know what time it is?’ If they’re five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by saying ‘Sorry I’m late!’They use the word ‘sorry’ in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of ‘sorry’ are: 1) feeling sad44.To protect the earth, we mustn’t throw away the waste _____________ (care).B) 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词。

stuttered（口吃）．Then （13）of performing in front of people made me worried．The reason why I （14）to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre program．On the day of the audition（试演），there were also some acting exercises to warm us up．We were divided into pairs to （15）parts of the play．I felt very worried．After I said some of the lines（台词），my partner said，"I （16）you are stuttering．Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter？"I was speechless．When my （17）to audition came，my heart was beating fast．Across from me sat the director and his assistants（助手）．Needless to say．I was really （18）my performance．I played the role of a man painter who pretended（假装）to be a woman．My partner was playing a businessman who wanted to marry me（the woman）．We said our lines and，（19），I didn't stutter．We went through itseveral times，and finally it was over．I was so （20），The next Monday I was told that I had made the play．How excited I was!It was a lot of fun doing the play，and it was clear

neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）areboth fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25．Where can you most probably find this passage？A．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In geography magazine．D．In a farming book．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip ﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？A．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．29．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26﹣year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introduced the idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all item on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around since 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000 hugs in the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this special one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a restaurant．B．Unless you order Tim's Hug，he will not hug you．C．As soon as you enter Tim's Place，you will get a warm hug．D．Michelle Garth﹣Jones loves listening to the story in the restaurant．30．Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris？A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．32．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and findingyourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on sharperstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？A．AliceB．The March HareC．The HatterD．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．A．introduce a famous novel and its language styleB．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC．explore some English expressions from a famous novelD．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．36．（5分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"五、适当形式填空（A)41．（1分）Don't touch the（break）glasses．It may hurt your hand．42．（1分）More action must be taken to

animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them floatthrough the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？B A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，D．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in

book．【分析】文章大意：这是一篇日常文化类阅读，主要介绍地球上除了动物和植物以外，还有很多有机体，其中真菌就是其中之一，很多菌类很恶心，但是有一些对我们的生活是有益的，比如酵母来做面包，蘑菇等．菌类可以用来治疗和挽救人们的生命，清理地球等，如果没有真菌我们的世界将是一片混乱．【解答】23．答案：B．词意猜测题．A强壮的．B讨厌的．C积极的．D小的．根据后面such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．比如在冰箱里留太久的食物上出现的绿色黑色的东西．可知，应该是很多菌类看起来"令人厌恶的"，选B．24．答案：D．细节理解题．根据倒数第二行Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．其他种类的真菌可以用来做药，从而挽救了许多人的生命．及最后一段第二行They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a house cleaning它们分解它们．变为土壤．真菌得到一顿饭，世界有了一个大扫除．可知，有些菌类对人类和环境有益．选D．25．答案：B．文章来源题．A在一份社会报告中．B在生物学书中．C在一个地理杂志．D在一本农业书中．短文主要介绍菌类的种类，及对人们和地球的影响．因此应该是来源于生物书中，选B．【点评】阅读题型，要注重句子与句子之间、段落与段落之间逻辑关系以及对篇章的整体理解．根据所给问题选择正确选项完成试题．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip ﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？CA．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．。

The Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, 5151 Cote St. on WednesdayBA 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives across the world.Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges youngpeople to “design something that solves a problem”.Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ” he says, “It’s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time,” he says.There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transporta tion is the primary function(功能) of his invention..26. What’s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries?A. It can save more energy.B. It can send more vaccines at a time.C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition.D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.27. The James Dyson Award is present to _____________.A. old scientists who have developed modern technology.B. young men who have solved problems with their designsC. doctors who have saved people’s lives in developing countriesD. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The production of a new fridge and its future.B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor.C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem.D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely.Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won’t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No.Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven’t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don’t want the pain cycle to continue and I don’t want to become someone I don’t want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). Y ou don’t have to wait to live. Do something today.29. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to(指) __________.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to ___________.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behavesselfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others”32. The writers talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.A. give an exampleB. make a comparisonC. share a good storyD. set the background33. According to the writer, we usually judge others__________.A. over big matters instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about their situationC. about the real reasons behind their behaviorD. for our own survival when feeling threatened34. What does the underlined sentence ”Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean?A. Never believe others have pain.B. Never pay attention to others’ pain.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You’ve Got a Reason to Judge4.任务型阅读British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word ‘sorry’—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying ‘Sorry to bot her you. Do you know what time it is?’ If they’re five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by saying ‘Sorry I’m late!’They use the word ‘sorry’ in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of ‘sorry’ are: 1) feeling sad44.To protect the earth, we mustn’t throw away the waste _____________ (care).B) 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词。

Every living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal, right?

They are called fungi（菌类）, and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem ________, such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example, the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇） are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too, but they don't have feet, wings, or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad, while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases, such as athlete's foot, which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines, which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds, though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi, our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do, they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal, and the world gets a housecleaning．（1）What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？________A strongB unpleasantC activeD small．（2）According to the passage，________．A fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D some fungi are useful to humans and the environment．（3）Where can you most probably find this passage？________A In a social report．B In a biology book．C In geography magazine．D In a farming book．13. When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）? That's what my friend Brandon, Josh and I were doing lastautumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back, so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining, but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times, walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side, however, and we were forced to turn around．As we started back, we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from? That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen ﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice, but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached! With most of the crossings, we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over, we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier? "I laughed．"Would it have made a difference? "came the reply．He had a point．（1）．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？________A The big stones were moved away by someone else．B They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C The big stones were covered with rushing water．D The big stones were washed away by rushing water．（2）．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？________A Because they were short of time．B Because they were wearing flip﹣flops． C Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further． D Because the flood prevented them from going forward．（3）．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends________．A were crazy about outdoor activities．B made full preparations before thetrip． C crossed rushing water easily in the end． D had much experience in travelling in the rain．14. While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers, a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26﹣year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant, but hehas several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian, an excellent sailor, and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you, it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant, Keith, a small businessman himself, supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do thecooking, and he introduced the idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all item on the menu．Customerscan order the free hug from Tim, and even if they don't, he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around since 2010, and Tim has given out over 19, 000 hugs inthe past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones, a regular customer．"I love local restaurants, and this special one has a story that stays with you．"（1）．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？________A Humorous．B Creative．C Serious．D Curious．（2）．What may be the best title for this passage？________A Tim's Achievements．B A Special Experience．C A Down Syndrome Sufferer．D The World's Friendliest Restaurant．15. Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands, shefinds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin．In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in somethingto the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares （野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically, this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）!Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．（1）．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？________A When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto theground． B When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual． C When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on sharperstars． D When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．（2）．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare________．A describes how hares behave in March．B shows hares'characteristics in a scientific way．C is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter．（3）．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？________A Alice．B The March Hare．C The Hatter．D The Queen of Hearts．（4）．The writer mainly wants to________ in the passage．A introduce a famous novel and its language style．B introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels．C explore some English expressions from a famousnovel． D explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．16. The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"五、适当形式填空（A)17. Don't touch the________ （break）glasses．It may hurt your hand．18. More action must be taken to stop________（pollute）．19. We hope that more________（China）will win honour for our country．20. ________（luck），he got better before the important competition．(B）根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词．21. Every year，________（百万）of people donate money to the Hope Project．22. I will be happy if Sandy________（接受）my offer．23. I've never________（后悔）the decision to work in West China．24. He has a special________（能力）to write with two hands at the same time．六、用括号内所给动词的正确形式填空（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分）25.

Wrong!Many organisms （有?机⼻本）in our world are neither. Some of them float through the air, and some lie hidden in the ground. They do not need sunlight to survive, and if the weather becomes too cold, they can become inactive until conditions improve.What are these? They are called fungi （菌类），and you see them almost every day. Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting, such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator. But other kinds are not so bad. For example, the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi.What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself. Fungi get around too, but they don't have feet, wings, or tails. They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them. Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll （叶绿素）.It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight. Fungi do not have chlorophyll.Some fungi are bad, while others are not. Some fungi cause diseases, such as athlete's foot, which makes feet uncomfortable. Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies, which have saved many lives. Fungi clean up more than wounds, though. They are the world's first recyclers. Without fungi, our world would be a mess. Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do, they must get their food elsewhere. Many fungi get their food from dead plants. They break them down and turn them into soil. The fungi get a meal, and the world gets a housecleaning.23. What does the underlined word n disgusting n most probably mean?A.strongB. unpleasantC. activeD. small24? According to the passage, .A . fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB.fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC.some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight.A. In a social report.B. In a biology book.C. In ageography magazine.D. In a farming book. B ? （6 分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail （⼩径）in the rain wearing flipflops （拖鞋）? That f s what my friend Brandon, Josh and I were doing last autumn. We were looking for a waterfall （瀑布）. We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back, so we were running. We were wearing flip ? flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty.It was raining, but lightly. It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow （浅⽩勺）stream. We followed red arrows （箭头）and crossed that stream several times, walking on toward the promised waterfall. Time was not on our side, howevr, and we were forced to turn around. As we started back, we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed. Where did this rushing river come from? That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed. Now there were no big stones tobe seen - only what looked like lumps （隆起）covered with rushing water. We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water ? in flip - flops. We had crossed the stream not once or twice, but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings, we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water. Wet all over, we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing."My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain. n Josh said as we hurried back down the path. "Why didn't you tell us that earlier? * I laughed.H Would it have made a difference? "came the reply.He had a point.26.Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back?A.The big stones were moved away by someone else.B.They were runningtoo fast to notice the big stones.C.The big stones were covered with rushing water.D.The big stones were washed away by rushing water.27.Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end?A.Because they were short of time.B.Because they were wearing flip - flops.C.Because Josh kept warning thm not to go any further.D.Because the flood prevented them from going forward.28.We can infer （推断）from the passage that t he writer and his friends?A. were crazy about outdoor activitiesB ? made full preparations before the tripC.crossed rushing water easily in the endD.had much experience in travelling in the rain.C. （6 分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers, a restaurant owner in the U. S. is taking it to a whole new level. Tim Harries gives out free hugs （拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal.The atmosphere （⽓氛）at his restauranf'Tim's Place”is so positive （积极的）that customers often call it the”World'severything he has achieved. The 26 ⼀year - old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐⽒综合症患者）in the U. S. to own a restaurant, but he has several other things to be proud of - - he's a skillful special Olympian, an excellent sailor, and all experienced fisherman. He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you, it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant, Keith, a small businessman himself, supported him. Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking, and he introduced the idea of free hugs. He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant. That is why he included M love n as all ite on the menu. Customers can order the free hug from Tim, and even if they don't, he'll probably hug them anyway.The restaurant has been around sine 2010, and Tim has given out over 19, OOOhugs in the past five years - - he keeps count using a special Hug Counter.

Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carrolfs famous novel n Alice in Wonderlan n in detail.The story is about a young girl fallin down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases （迫赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing （令⼈困惑的）situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction （分⼻申）. It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningfuLLater in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares （野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating （交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don*t tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react （反应）!32.Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole?A.When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground.B.When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual.C.When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on surperstars.D.When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.33.According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare?A ? describes how hares behave in MarchB.shows hares' characteristics in a scientific wayC- is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter.D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34.Which character in n Alice in Wonderland” wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?A. AliceB. The March HareC. The HatterD. The Queen of Hearts.35.The writer mainly wants to in the passage.A.introduce a famous novel and its language styleB.introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC.explore some English expressions from a famous novelD.explain why many expressions in English come from novels.四、阅读表达（共5⼩题：每⼩题5分，满分9分）阅读下⾯短⽂，并根据所读内容在⽂章后表格中的空格⾥填⼊⼀个最恰当的单词，每个空格⾥只填⼀个单词.36.（5 分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people, including teenagers, but many parentsworry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online.

The Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, 5151 Cote St. on WednesdayBA 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives across the world. Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to “design something that solves a problem”. Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ”he says, “It’s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.”The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time,” he says.There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,”he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function (功能) of his invention..26. What’s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries?A. It can save more energy.B. It can send more vaccines at a time.C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition.D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.27. The James Dyson Award is present to _____________.A. old scientists who have developed moderntechnology.B. young men who have solved problems with their designsC. doctors who have saved people’s lives in developing countriesD. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The production of a new fridge and its future.B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor.C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem.D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.CI was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task.And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely. Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in tothat world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won’t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No. Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help.You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I have n’t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don’t want the pain cycle to continue and I don’t want to become someone I don’t want to be.I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). You don’t have to wait to live. Do something today.29. The underlined word “it”in the first paragraph refers to(指) __________.A. getting along with the writerB. having a difficult time at schoolC. making friends with other studentsD. hurting the writer with force and threat30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies.A. getting used to the pain as soon as possibleB. looking for help from parents, teachers and friendsC. increasing the understanding of basic human rightsD. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life31. The writer writes the passage mainly to ___________.A. share his thoughts on dealing with bulliesB. say that he regrets being hurt badly at schoolC. describe how he changed his weak personalityD. show how thankful he was to those who helped himDImagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior.Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,”Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others”32. The writers talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.A. give an exampleB. make a comparisonC. share a good storyD. set the background33. According to the writer, we usually judge others__________.A. over big matters instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about their situationC. about the real reasons behind their behaviorD. for our own survival when feeling threatened34. What does the underlined sentence ”Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean?A. Never believe others have pain.B. Never pay attention to others’ pain.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. Think Twice Before You JudgeD. You’ve Gota Reason to Judge四、任务型阅读British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word ‘sorry’—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying ‘Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is?’ If they’re five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet theperson by saying ‘Sorry I’m late!’They use the word ‘sorry’in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of ‘sorry’are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you’ve done something wrong. Now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with ‘Sorry to bother you’. In this situation, they aren’t saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.So what does ‘sorry’ really mean? And why do British people use it so much? Well, in the British culture, saying ‘sorry’ is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don’t know very well. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want. In a recent experiment, an actor went up to a different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones in order to make a call.

四篇阅读理解文体各不相同，A篇是一个关于“蓝色都市”国际文学节的明细通知，这篇阅读是根据国外网站的一篇文章改编的，题目较简单，基本能在文中找到。
B篇说明文，也是之前比较热的一个话题，一位年轻人发明了一个便携式的移动冰箱，并且不打算申请专利的事情。
