（英语）
第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。

A
The life of an actor appears attractive and many young people dream about becoming one. But the truth is, it is very hard work. If you’re succ essful, there are deadlines to be met, appointments to keep and the press to deal with. If you’re not successful, then life is extremely tough.
I remember when I started out, I had to search the advertisement board at my drama school every day to look for acting jobs. Drama school was expensive and I needed extra cash to help pay the fees. I welcomed every small job. I played extras in many crowd scenes and became a confident participant in a lot of TV commercials for hair shampoo, soap and washing powder.
I had been working for about two years before I got my lucky break. One day, as I was passing the drama school, I decided to go in to check the notice board. There was nothing on it and I was just leaving when the secretary came along the corridor with a piece of paper. She asked me how I was and I told her life was hard and work was difficult to find. The next moment, she put the paper in my hand and walked away. My hands were shaking as I unfolded the paper, full of expectation. To my surprise, it was an audition (试演) for a clown (小丑) for the Canadian circus. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. I had expected an audition with a famous director for a new film!
When I was at drama school, there had been a course in acrobatics (杂技) and clown tricks. I had gained top marks in this course for originality and daring. Later I went to the audition feeling very strange. This was not what I’d had in mind when I enrolled in drama school. To my surprise, the job as a clown turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I loved every moment of getting dressed up and putting on the make-up. I had the opportunity to travel the world and I was more than an actor, I was an entertainer as well. I had visited over 32 different countries and entertained millions of people.
1. According to paragraph 3, the writer went into the drama school __________.
A. to look for a job
B. to see the secretary
C. to collect a piece of paper
D. to put a notice on the notice board
2. Which of the following can best describe the author’s feeling when he unfolded the paper?
A. Extremely frightened.
B. Feeling anxious and excited.
C. Very worried.
D. Trembling with fear.
3. From the whole passage, we can tell that the writer is ___________.
A. sad that he was not a famous actor
B. happy to travel the world
C. feeling very strange to be a clown
D. very content with his life
B
We all remember seeing hitchhikers（搭便车的人）, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more complex (复杂): hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting --- lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander (坦克指挥官), carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (男人,家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people --- wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people --- will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap coac hes and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.
4. The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because _____________.
A．they were not heading towards Manchester
B．they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous
C．hitchhiking had been forbidden and they didn’t want to break the law
D．he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking
B．Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.
C．25% of UK people don’t have access to cars.
D．Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking.
6. The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves” in Paragraph 3 most likely means _____________.
A．murderous hitchhikers B．friendly and talkative hitchhikers
C．strange hitchhikers like the author D．typical hitchhikers
7. From the last paragraph, we know that the author _____________.
A．frequently hitchhikes in Britain B．plans to hitchhike across Europe
C．thinks public transport is safer for travel D．is going to contact the tank commander
C
Monmouth, Wales, a small town in the United Kingdom where King Henry V was born, has made history again by becoming the world’s first Wikipedia Town. Since May 19, visitors have been able to take an in-depth wiki tour of the town with their phones by scanning more than 1,000 different bar codes that have been placed on various landmarks (地标)．The phones immediately find out each landmark's Wikipedia page.
Created in 2001, Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia (百科全书) written and edited by anyone who wants to contribute. It attracts more than 400 million visitors each month. The Monmouth project, called Monmouthpedia, aims to describe every famous place, person, object, plant, and animal in the town in as many languages as possible. Over the past six months, many people came together to make that happen. The town has free town-wide Wi-Fi. Local people created nearly 500 new articles about the town and updated about 150 existing ones. Other volunteers translated the articles into more than 26 languages, including Hindi, Czech,
Hungarian, and Latin.
Universities, museums, historic sites, hundreds of shops and businesses and most schools in Monmouth have been tagged (加上标签) with QRpedia codes --- bar codes that a phone can read through its camera. Each code takes a person to scan it to a Wikipedia page in his or her chosen language. The person can then read all about the landmark, object, etc.
Monmouth was chosen as the first Wikipedia Town because of its rich cultural history. It is home to a 13th-century bridge and to the remains of Monmouth Castle, built in the 11th century.
Wikimedia UK hopes other towns will become Wikipedia towns in the future. “If everyone shares the stories of their local area, we’ll have a much clearer understanding of the world we live in,” Stevie Benton of Wikimedia UK said. “And that’s a powerful thing.”
8. Monmouth has made history because _____________.
A. many Kings like Henry V were born there
B. it becomes the world's first Wikipedia Town

A. Monmouthpedia was created in 2001.
B. Over 400 million people go to visit Monmouth.

D. Monmouthpedia has been translated into over 26 languages.
10. How can you get information about certain places in Monmouth?

C. By traveling in Monmouth.
D. By surfing on the government net.
11. What would be the best title for the text?

Babysitters are childca re professionals, who typically care for one family’s children for a few hours at a time. While it may not sound like an exciting job, these professionals are valued and trusted family employees, and as such have an enjoyable and well-paid job. Here are some of the top reasons to become a babysitter: -- A driver’s license is not required: While many babysitters are able to increase the fees they charge by driving school-age children to and from school, and to after-class activities, they do not need to be able to drive. The parents pick up the babysitter from her home (or another agreed upon location), and drop her off afterwards.
-- Flexible hours: While some babysitters have set jobs, where they babysit for the same children each week at an appointed time, most take jobs as their schedule permits. If the children’s parents call to request a babysitter’s time on an evening and the babysitter is not available until later in the evening, often time, the parent will change their plan to suit her.
-- Free time: While some babysitters will tell horror stories about how tired the children may make them during the time of babysitting, the truth is that most children who require babysitters are young and go to bed early. They also take afternoon naps. This means that while babysitting, babysitters have significant free time to watch television or read. Babysitters who are in high school, college or graduate school, enjoy this opportunity to study.
-- It is fun: There are not many jobs that will pay you to play hide and go seek, do finger painting, or eat ice cream, but babysitters routinely get to do all that. They also have a built-in reason to watch Disney movies, play video games, blow bubbles, and read children books. Babysitting is a job for those who are young at heart, and are
ready and willing to embrace that side of themselves while working.
12. According to the passage, babysitters _____________.
A. earn little money from the job
B. have to work long hours
C. have much time to do what they want
D. are usually tired and bored
13. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Babysitters usually have to change their plans to meet their employers’ needs.
B. Babysitting can be a very tiring job because the children may be very naughty.
C. While babysitting, one can do nothing else but take care of the children.
D. babysitters can do a lot of interesting things with the children they take care of.
14. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 stands for _____________.
A. the babysitters
B. the children
C. the parents
D. the stories
15. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To compare babysitting with other jobs.
B. To teach people how to be a good babysitter.
C. To show some advantages of babysit ting.
D. To list some do’s and don’ts when babysitting.

Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.
A. Make a list of things to do.
B. Do whatever you like and want to do.
C. You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day.
D. The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
E. You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.
F. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.
G. When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.

书面表达：
The summer vacation after the National College Entrance Examination is a time for senior three students to get relaxed. Many students go to parties where they even drink a lot of beer, or play games online all night and then oversleep even till noon.
Such things are meaningless and even harmful. I think we should make good use of the time doing some meaningful things. First, I want to have a good rest to recover from the tiring examination. Then, I’m going on a tour with my parents to Mount Huang, where I can breathe fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. After that, I will stay at home reading some books to acquire more knowledge. Besides, I will make some preparations for my further studies.
In a word, this period of time is valuable and none of us students should waste it. Let’s make it a meaningful vacation. (131 words)。
