Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar（酒吧）, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal
（正常的）coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip（小口）of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non­touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry（酥皮糕点）. I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth­watering pastries — either plain（无馅料的）or filled with cream, chocolate, etc. —as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato（an espresso with a drop of milk）costs around one euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.
4. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By time.
B. By space.
C. By example.
D. By comparison.
5. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?
A. Espresso.
B. Lungo.
C. Cappuccino.
D. Macchiato.
6. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?
A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.
B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.
C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.
D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.
7. What does the author think of Italian coffee?
A. She loves its bitter taste.
B. It is too expensive for her.
C. It is a good choice for breakfast.
D. The cup it is served in is too small.

What makes you happy? Music? Money? Spending time with friends?
For American young people, family time is the main source（来源）of happiness, according to a recent survey （调查）of 1,280 American young people. Most of them say it is a good relationship with their parents that makes them happy.
“My mum tells me that, even if I do something silly, she’s still going to love me no matter what happens. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy.” says Kristiana St.John, 17, a high school student in New York.
After family, it is relationships with friends that seem to matter most.
There were also many other kinds of answers given to the “What makes you happy?” question. For Chad Fiedler, 17, happiness is “just waking up in the morning and looking forward to what he’s going to do that day”.And for Esohe Roland, 14, it’s “playing the trumpet（小号）in his school band”. So, what is happiness? Let’s hear what Chinese teenagers want to say.
For Bao Yiqiao, 15, Beijing, happiness comes from success brought by hard work. She felt happy when she was admitted to a top high school. She was happy when she came fifth in a recent swimming competition.
For Jiang Wenyu, 17, Dalian, spending time with his family makes him happy. Whenever he feels down at school,
his parents encourage him to go on. They always help him to find a way out.
8. ________ matters most for American young people.
A. Having a lot of money
B. Enjoying music
C. Good relationships with their friends
D. A good relationship with their parents
9. Which of the following might make Bao Yiqiao happy?
A. Getting on well with her parents.
B. Playing computer games all day.
C. Taking the 2nd place in the table tennis competition.
D. Offering others timely help.
10. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. Kristiana St. John often does silly things
B. Esohe Roland is fond of playing the guitar
C. Chad Fiedler feels happy when looking forward to the future
D. Jiang Wenyu’s parents never help him with his lessons
11. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

From high definition（HD）TV to 3D TV, if we asked our screens to produce life­like and realistic pictures, that is certainly what we got. As the 3D TV revolution picks up pace, it’s time to stop studying the technology itself and to start seeing exactly how we, as television fans, can benefit from it, and how it will change our viewing experience.
It is true that what you’ve got is good if you don’t know what you’re missing out on; in other words, if you’re living with a perfectly common television, which has on HD capabilities, the chances are that you’re not hoping for HD TV and that your picture looks as clear as you need it to be. But as soon as you try HD TV, you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes to your viewing pleasure and the same is true of 3D TV.
3D TVs are rapidly becoming as common as other TVs on goods shelves（货架）of retailers and in the homes of people across the UK. And as the technology develops, the picture becomes clearer, sharper and more real. Television shows that look particularly good in 3D are sports, nature programs and those that are exciting and full of special effects, and lovers of these are in for a real treat when they buy a 3D TV.
More and more football matches are shown on 3D TV, and those fans who have experienced a 3D football match compare it to being there in person. The same is true of nature programs, particularly those that feature brightly colored animals and plants, the details of which are quite realistic when viewed on 3D TV.
Exciting films have always lent themselves to 3D technology, with dinosaurs surrounding you in your own living room and so on—it can be a frighteningly realistic experience for viewers!
12. Some people are happy with perfectly common televisions because _________.
A. they don’t know the benefits of HD TV and 3D TV
B. their common televisions are very expensive
C. they don’t have enough money to buy HD TV or 3D TV
D. their televisions must have some HD capabilities
13. What does the underlined word “retailers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. People who study HD television.
B. Businessmen who sell goods to consumers.
C. People who are ready to buy something.
D. Places where a lot of goods are stored.
14. What television programs look particularly good on 3D TV?
A. Sports programs and nature programs.
B. Music programs and education programs.
C. Education programs and nature programs.
D. Art programs and writing programs.
15. This text is written mainly to tell readers _________.
A. the difference between HD TV and 3D TV
B. there is a need to buy HD TV or 3D TV
C. the rapid development of technology
D. 3D TV gives viewers a realistic experience
Ⅱ. 阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
Movies have documented America for more than one hundred years. Since Thomas Edison introduced the movie camera in 1893, amateur and professional movie­makers have used moving pictures to tell stories and explain the work of business and government. 16 By preserving these movies, we will save a century of history.
Unfortunately, movies are not made to last. 17 Already the losses are high. Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive. Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist. For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost.
For many libraries and museums, the hardest step in preserving movie collections is getting started. The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations. 18 These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them. The Guide contains basic facts for “beginners” —professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area.
The Guide grew from user workshops at Duke University. At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections. 19 Following the advice, the Guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources. 20 The Guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
A. “Keep it simple!” was the advice of the discussions.
B. They’ll be damaged within years if not properly stored.
C. These organizations are the first to save American movies.
D. It is organized in chapters and includes case studies and charts.
E. It introduces movie preservation to non­profit and public institutions.
F. They show how generations of Americans have lived, worked and dreamed.
G. They store the original movies and new ones under cool­and­dry conditions.

Have you ever been caught in difficulties? Remember that self­confidence is 21 than a knife. You can use it to fight a challenge. Read the short story below to 22 the power of self­confidence.
A man was trying to find his way 23 a dark cave with a light of hope from a lantern（灯笼）.Finally, he could see some sunlight in the cave, which made him 24 .But as he drew closer, he was 25 to see a big rock standing before him.

The rock moved a little, which encouraged him to work 32 . Thanks to all his efforts, slowly the rock made way for him. He walked along the bright and evergreen path before him — with 33 .
We all may meet difficulties in our life. Some people don’t believe they can overcome them and choose to 34 , but some choose to face them with confidence. Those who give up will 35 succeed. Only those who face difficulties with confidence will find their ways and succeed in life in the end.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

续写的词数应为150左右。

For many years, I had a recurring（重复出现的）dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about and trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry! You’ll be late for school,” my mother called me.
“I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books?”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle（通道）to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition（学费）. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought, “There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis（幼年型关节炎）in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. “Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.”
Linda was busy filling out enrollment（入学）forms when the secretary said, “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school?”
I laughed, “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.
Paragraph 1:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. ___________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________

An antiwar film
All Quiet on the Western Front is an antiwar film, which is directed by Delbert Mann. The main character is Paul Baumer, played by Richard Thomas.
A group of German youths, headed by Paul Baumer, took part in World WarⅠenthusiastically in answer to the patriotic teacher’s call. But before they arrived at the front line, they were shocked to see the cruel reality the war brought about in a hospital for the wounded. Having reached the battlefield, they came to realize that the true war is just hunger and death.
Through the experiences of the leading characters, the story shows the terribleness of the war. Never have I seen a more memorable excellent antiwar film, which is really worth seeing a second time.

Paragraph 1:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging. During the day, I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do. In the evening, I was a hardworking student working on my courses. To my surprise, both Linda and I did very well in night school. I went back again the next semester, and my grades steadily improved. Paragraph 2:
Linda and I saw each other through the time. When I was down, Linda encouraged me, “Mom, you can’t quit now!” And when she was down, I encouraged her. I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us. But neither of us gave up. At last, I got my diploma. To my surprise, almost all of my classmates voted for me to be
the class speaker, and I got a $3,000 college scholarship. The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.
