不管怎样，我早早起床(arise)，在令人愉快的(pleasant)海滩边练习讲话。

经过很长一段时间(duration)，我取得了令人满意的(satisfactory)进步。

甚至大多数广告(advertisement)对我来说都是小菜一碟(a piece of cake)。

我把我的成就归功于(owe)我的辛勤工作。

____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________ _________ ______________________________________________________________________ One possible version：
I had difficulty in communicating with local people when going abroad for study for the first time. My major was photography because my dream was to become a photographer. A lot of idioms were especially difficult for me because they often have meanings that are contrary to what I have anticipated. Anyhow I arose early to practice speaking near the pleasant shore. After a long duration, I made satisfactory progress. Even most advertisements were a piece of cake for me. I owed my achievement to my hard work.

Ⅰ．阅读理解
Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace. For the rest of us, commuting (乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.
So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto？You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto’s streets. Seeing the big picture of Toronto’s traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must. We prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night. You can click them and watch.
Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7：00 am. The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30．The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11：30 am to 12：00 noon. It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：00 pm, mainly on the Don Valley Parkway. You won’t have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm, as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam. The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night. I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!
( )1．By saying “commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity”，the writer refers to the fact that ________.
A．buses are usually very crowded
B．they are often stuck in traffic jams
C．they have to travel a long way to work
D．they usually cannot do anything on the way to work
( )2．What is the last paragraph mainly about?

C．Why the traffic is terrible on Fridays.
D．What can we do when trapped in traffic jam.
( )3．In Toronto, on Fridays you are most likely to suffer heavy traffic ________.
A．from 6：30 am to 7：00 am B．from 8：30 am to 9：30 am
C．from 10：30 am to 11：00 am D．from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm
( )4．Where is this passage taken from?
A．A TV program. B．A radio program.
C．A website. D．A travel booklet.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了多伦多的交通情况。

1．B 推理判断题。

根据第二段第一句话“So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto？”可知，本文主要是讲多伦多的交通堵塞情况。

作者说上班的路上不是很愉快是因为堵车。

2．A 主旨大意题。

通读最后一段可知，本段主要是讲的是多伦多周五不同时间段的交通情况。

3．D 细节理解题。

4．C 推理判断题。

Ⅱ．七选五
Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things.
__1__ The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.
Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important
these people are to you. __2__
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. __3__ When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.
__4__ They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (怀旧的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.
It’s never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. __5__ With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.
A．It’s nice to enjoy a stress­free time.
B．As the saying goes, you never know what you have until you lose it.
C．When traveling with friends or family, it creates memories of a lifetime.
D．Going on a trip means that you are most likely going to spend time outside.
E．Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.
F．However, there are still many budget airlines fighting for your dollar right now.
G．There are many benefits other than enjoying yourself that can be realized when you travel.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了旅行的好处。

1．G 联系上下文，文章开头谈到旅行能为你提供欣赏新事物的机会，是一种愉快的经历，空格后文章接下来谈论旅行的好处，故此处承上启下，谈论旅行除了让你玩得开心之外还有其他好处。

2．B 上文谈到旅行使人有机会脱离常规的生活，独自或与朋友一起旅行可以给你距离感甚至意识到这些人对你有多重要，故此处谈正如名言所说的那样，人总是在失去时才懂得珍惜，回应上句的内容。

3．A 根据上文，旅行的另一个大的益处是你能得到放松，故此处进一步谈你能享受没有压力的时间是非常好的，即放松自我。

4．C 根据文章结构可知，此处应为主题句。

根据下文中的“create photo albums”和“looking at your pictures”可知，与朋友或家人旅行时可以留下终生难忘的美好回忆。

5．F 因为上文谈到旅行成本越来越高，下文谈你可以通过网络或高科技选择自己旅行的支出预算，故前后有转折关系，所以此处谈的应是有很多适合你的经济情况的航班等。

Ⅲ．语法填空
Ms. Mary was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like half her age. She
loved driving very fast, and boasted of the fact __1__ she had never, in her thirty­five years of driving, been punished __2__ a driving mistake.
Then one day, she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policemen in it saw her pass a red light without __3__ (stop)．
When Ms. Mary came before the judge, he looked at her __4__ (serious) and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason __5__ she had not stopped at red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, __6__ she had simply not seen it.
When the judge had finished what he was saying, Ms. Mary opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she __7__ (choose) a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at the first time.
When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed __8__ the needle and thread to the judge, saying, “Now it is your turn.
I suppose you can drive __9__ car well, and you have no doubts about your eyesight. ”
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen times, he had still not __10__(success)．The case against Ms. Mary was dismissed, and her record remained unbroken.
【语篇导读】本文主要讲述Mary女士八十多岁了，仍然像年轻时一样开快车。

一次，她在红灯处没有停车，警察带着她到了法庭，法官说她视力不好，年纪大而不能开车了。

她听后，从包里拿出针和线，一次就将线穿过了针。

然后，她将针和线递给法官穿，但法官试了多次都不成功。

最后，对她的指控只好取消了。

1．that 此处含有一个同位语从句，指代前面fact的内容，且引导词在从句中不做任何成分，也没有实际意义，故填连词that。

2．for 根据句意：她从未因为驾驶过失而受到惩罚。

故填for表原因。

3．stopping 介词without后面接动词时用动名词形式。

4．seriously 短语look at是动词短语，用副词修饰。

5．why 分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，先行词“the reason”在从句中作原因状语，故填关系副词why。

6．so/and 根据句意：她没有在红灯处停车，原因是年纪大了，视力下降，所以她没有看到红灯。

由句意可知，用连词so或and。

7．chose 此处choose做的是句子的谓语，再根据整篇文章都描述的是过去的事情，故填一般过去时chose。

8．both 短语both... and... 意为“不仅……而且……，……和……(两者)都”，是固定搭配。

故填both。

9．a 考查冠词。

空后的car为可数名词，此处是泛指任何一辆汽车，故填a。

10．succeeded 考查动词。

“had＋过去分词”构成过去完成时态，故填succeeded。
