答案写在答题卡上。
AThe human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breather or smell. It is part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyranode Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man----brave, polite, manly and intellectual.Afamous women poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about the Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world.Historically, man’s nose had had a principalrole in hi s imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the noserefer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousyand revenge.In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up on e’s nose expresses a basic human feeling----pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. Aperson who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase, to have one’s nose put out of joint, is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erassmus in 1542.This is only a sample of expressions in English dealing withthe nose. There are a number of others. however, it should be as plain as the nose on the face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!21. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A person who holds up his nose is easier to get angry.B. A person who is proud of himself is to hold up his nose.C. A person who is satisfied with himself always follows others.D. A person who hopes to have two noses is strong-minded.22. What does the underlined phrase “to be led around by the nose”mean?A. To be followed by somebody.B. To be controlled by somebody.C. To be under your nose.D. To pay through the nose.23. How does a person who has his nose put out of joint feel?A. Worried.B. Pleased.C. Proud and happy.D. Hurt and unaccepted.24. What do you know from the last sentence of this passage?A. It is hard to know that the nose is not only for smelling.B. The nose is really just an organ for breathing and smelling.C. It’s clear that a nose’s function is more than breathing and smelling.D. Itis not important that a nose has other functions except these two.B“Two yuan+ luck=5million yuan”. These eye-catching banners and posters blanket the nation. Our life has been filled with “lottery tickets”(彩票).Most people become extremely happy at the mere mention of lottery tickets. Why are they so eager to buy them? Do they consider the lottery a good way to contribute to society? Or do they just seize the chance for personal gain?A recent survey in major Chinese cities shows that more than 80 percent of lottery buyers take out their money with the purpose of “wining more money lack”and “Being a millionaire in a short time.”These words on an advertising leaflet may be the truly most attractive to lottery selling stations.Allowing themselves the pleasure of imagination of becoming an overnight millionaire, many lottery buyerscan’t keep a cool heart. If their “investment”on which they have strong hope ends up in smoke, which is usually the case, they are likely to experience low spirits or even give up all hopes.Sixteen years ago, the government of Fuzhou gave a notice forbidding all lotteries. The notice said that all lottery tickets sales in the city must be stopped to make sure a peaceful Spring Festival. Lotteries have caused a lot of criminal cases in the city. It was reported that a laid-off worker committed a robbery after using all his savings on lottery tickets and becoming penniless.In another case, a young man became mentally ill when his lottery tickets turned into waste paper.A comprehensive law is needed to fit the lottery industry. On the other hand, themedia must take more social duty to help people understand the reality of the lotteries. Instead of describing how a single lottery ticket changes a poor person into an overnight millonaire, advertisements should fit this goal clearly so that when people take out money they should realize that they are making a contribution to the poor.Lottery have entered into common Chinese people’s lives for years. They have brought about a lot of changes to society worthy of praise.We hope that in the future, lotteries can contribute even more to the development of our national economy which will light up everybody’s life.25.Why did the government of Fuzhou forbid lottery tickets on special holidays?A. Lotteries had many ill effects on children.B. People spent too much money on it.C. Lotteries caused a lot of serious deaths.D. People needa happy and peaceful holiday.26.What should the media help people to do according to the author?A. To understand the reality of the lotteries.B. To look into the situation of lotteries tickets.C. To find out how they make a lot of money.D. To believe that they will become millionaires.27.What can we know from the passage?A. There is no law fitting lotteries in China today.B. Lotteries meet with the development of modern society.C. Lotteries have many changes to society since they were born.D. It is the best way for the workers to live by buying lottery tickets.28.What is the purpose of the author writing the passage?A. To make us know the use of lottery tickets.B. To tell us totreat lottery tickets in a correct way.C. To introduce the advantages of lottery tickets to us.D. To tell us the importance of lottery tickets in our daily life.CIn your rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or dec ide it’s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick themup within 5 seconds of dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds are all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria to make you sick.Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If we eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, we can become sick. One of these food-born bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Earlier this year, 370 people became sick after eating peanut butter that had been polluted with Salmonella at the manufacturing factory.Salmonella are often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods carefully.Being a good housekeeper is another good way to prevent infection. Even if household surfaces are washed thoroughly, they can support Salmonella for weeks. A team of scientists at Clemson University in South Carolina have tested the 5-second rule, using sandwich ingredients. First, they placed a known amount of Salmonella cells on three surfaces: wood, tile, and carpet. They then placed a slice of bread and a slice of bologna(大红肠) on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.So forget the 5-second rule. If your toast lands on the floor, throw it away. Stick a fresh slice of bread in the toaster. And this time, be careful not to drop it!29. Which of the following statements can best describethe original meaning of“5-second rule”?A. If the food is on the floor for less than 5 seconds, it’s f resh.B. If the food is on the floor for more than 5 seconds, it’s safe.C. It you finish eating the food on the floor within 5 seconds, it’s dangerous for you.D. If you pick up the food that you drop on the floor within 5 seconds, it’s safe to eat.30. What can cause many diseases according to the passage?A. BacteriaB. Bread.C. Bad habits.D. Raw eggs.31. Why did the scientists at Clemson University carryout the test?A. To find out whether the food is safe to eat.B. To find out how long the food can be kept.C. To find out whether the 5-second rule is true.D. To find out how long the bacteria can live.32. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Don’t eat the chicken on the floor because it’s dirty.B. Don’t eat food that you have dropped on t he floor.C. If you are eating the food, you never drop it on the floor.D. If you eat the food dropped on the floor in seconds, it’s OK.DOne family, which moved from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco, had built a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.The other family also marketed roses. For almost four decades the two families were neighbors, and the sons took over the farms, but then on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Although the rest of the family members were American, the father of the Japanese family had never been naturalized. As they planned to leave the country, hisneighbor made it clear that, if necessary, he would look after his friend’s nurser y(花圃). It was something each family had learned in church-Love the neighbor as themselves. “You would do the same for us,”he told his Japanese friend.It was not long before the Japanese family was transported to a poor landscape in Canada. A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the Japanese neighbors were in Canada, their friends worked in the greenhouses. Sometimes the father’s work could stretch to 16 and 17 hours. And then one day, when the war in Europe had ended, the Japanese family packed up and boarded a train. They were going home.What would they find? The family was met at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family were shocked. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy. And the house was just as clean and welcoming as the nursery. And there on the dining room ground was one perfect red (玫瑰花蕾),just waiting to unfold-the gift of one neighbor to another.33. What does “the gift”in th e last paragraph refer to besides t rosebud?①a neat and clean house ②the prosperous nursery③the dependable neighbors ④the beautiful rose parkA. ①and ②B. ③and ④C. ①,②and ③D. ②, ③and ④34. What’s the topic of the passage?A. FriendshipB. HardworkC. HappinessD. Honesty35. Why did the neighborschoose “unfolding rosebud”to welcome the return of the Japanese?A. Becauseit’s a decorative issue.B. Because the roses are beautiful.C. Becausethey grew roses themselves.D. Beca use it’s a wishfor a good future.第二节（共五小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，答案写在答题卡上Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish. _______Zoey’s class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from time they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called” Trout in the classroom”.______ The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project, too.“I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up,” said seventh-grader LaurenClayton.

The tradition of carrying or wearing one of each item is said to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couple. Have you ever stoppedto think what the saying really means? What is its origin and what does each item represent?The original saying dates back to the Victoria times and states, “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.”Something old A bride may wear or carry something old to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life. Many brides wear a piece of family jewelry as their old items. Some brides wear the wedding dress worn by their mother or grandmother. In many cases, something old may also be something borrowed.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent success and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage. If the bride purchases her wedding dress new, it may represent her news items, but any item that is new may be used. Something “new” is usually the easiest kind to fill.Something borrowed The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married. It is said that their happiness will rub off on you and bring lasting happiness to our marriage. Some brides borrow an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or perhaps a beaded(带珠子的) purse.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to ancient times when a blue wedding dress was worn to represent purity ,fidelity and love.Silver sixpence Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life. Since most brides probably don’t even know what a sixpence is, this part of the tradition is not used very often in modern times. However, if a bride would like to include it in her wedding, she can purchase a silver sixpence from many companies that sell bridal supplies such as garters(袜带) and invitations.24. Why does the first paragraph end with two questions?A. To invite readers to answer them at once.B. To show the importance of this tradition.C. To have readers’ interest and attention.D. To test readers knowledge about wedding.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Something old might also be something borrowed actually.B. The part of the tradition “silver sixpence” is never used now.C. The borrowed item can be something borrowed from any friend.D. Something new is usually the most difficult and expensive kind to fill.26. What can we infer from the passage?A. No brides now are not familiar with the silver sixpence.B. Every item represents something good for the new couple.C. The bride will be more beautiful with all these five items.D. Of the five items, something blue is the most important one.27. Which word can replace the underlined word “fidelity” in the sixth paragraph?A. SuccessB. WealthC. LoyaltyD. OpportunityCSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and thereare changes in the chemicals in its bloodst ream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feeling, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll hav e to deal with them, just like those bananas.28. When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, __________.A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. they may get ready to attack or run away29. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animal.B. They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C. They always do something wrong to other people.D. They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D. It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B. To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D. To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DDiamonds are considered as the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth. Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure. When a volcano is active, it sometimes explodes and causes great damage to the nearby towns.However, at the same time of such a disaster, diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth by a number of great volcanic explosions millions of years ago. Thus, it may be very likely to find a diamond after a volcano eruption. Besides, diamonds are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea, for they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain.Diamonds are very rare. There are not many places that produce such precious things in the world. During the last century adventurers form Europe went to Brazil, because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But some returned home rich.The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most recent and exciting discoveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the world’s diamonds now come from Congo, from Tanzania------which has the largest diamond mine in the world and also from South Africa.32. What do we know about diamonds according to the passage?A. Diamonds are always accompanied by volcano eruptions.B. Diamonds are created by volcano eruptions.C. Diamonds are considered as a sign of wealth.D. Diamonds could be always found in a few riverbanks.33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a famous place producing diamonds?A. CongoB. South AfricaC. IndiaD. Western Europe34. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Diamond mining can be dangerous for the miners.B. Brazil plays a more important role in diamond mining.C. River Amazon has no large diamond mines nowadays.D. Many miners returned home due to the risks in diamond mining.35. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Eastern Russia has been famous for diamond mining for a long time.B. The diamond deposit in eastern Russia wasn’t discovered until recently.C. Eastern Russia is not as important as African countries in diamond mining.D. The eastern part of Russia will replace all African countries in diamond mining.第二节When high temperatures are around the country, some things also go up. Here are four things expected to rise along with our desire to stay indoors and beat the heat.①Sales of goods that keep you coolMalls are high on the list of places where people often go for free air conditioning outside home in summer. 36 Goods related to keeping cool, like air conditions, fans or sun careitems, are very popular.②37Pests like stink bugs(椿象) grow fast during summer heat waves, and many agriculture experts are expecting a repeat of last year’s outbreak that harmed fruit and crops, particularly on the East Coast.③Energy bills38 With all those conditioners and fans working, it makes sense that energy bills will be higher than average. 39 “Not only are people going to have extremely high energy bills for July, it will also put increased stress on power plants, and we’re going to see more air pollution because of it,” says Angela Fritz.④ViolenceHeat waves may cause violence, right?Not necessarily, says Richard Larrick, a researcher. He took a unique look at the relationship between violence and heat through baseball. Larrick and his research team examined 57, 294 Major League Baseball games taking place between 1962 and 2017 and found that while heat may increase violence, there always has to be a motive. “40Instead, heat affects a specific form of violence,” he said.A. Air pollutionB. Pest populationC. Rising heat is the expected response in any summer.D. Heat does not directly lead to more violence in general.E. More and more people are worried about their expenses.F. As more energy is used, air-quality problems may occur.G. So it’s not a surprise that some sales jump during heat waves.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空One day when I was 13, my family was working in the fields to clear away old brush when somehow the electric fence sparked (冒火星）and 41.______ a fire.

It also was named as the number-one book by the most critics. “It is a big deal for me to fall in love with a book whose topic is science fiction, fantasy and imagination,” says Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune’s literary editor.Edward P. Jones, The Known WorldSet in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend——born a slave, now a slave-owner---The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks about the future of his 50-acre Virginia plantation and the slaves he treats the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.Hilary Mantel , Wolf HallMantel’s boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC miniseries( 短剧).

Critic Karen R. Long says,“This multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (超越)，and makes a case for spiritual life in the 21st century----its own kind of miracle. Gilead will be read in 100 years.”21. What can we learn from the passage?A. Oscar likes reading books.B. Townsend worked in a church.C. Rev John Ames likes farming.D. Thomas Gromwell won an Oscar Award.22. What does Mary Ann Gwinn think of the book “Wolf Hall”?A. She thinks it’s too dull.B. She doesn't like the character in the book.C. She thinks it’s fascinating.D. She doesn’t like some contents i n the book.23. Which of the following books will have a far-reaching influence in the future?A. Gilead.B. Wolf HallC. The Known WorldD. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar WaoBSomething FunA person is on trial for murder in a sound room in Oklahoma. There is strong evidence indicating guilt.

Within one minute, the person assumed dead in this case will walk into this court room," he says and he looks towards the court-room door. The jury, somewhat surprised, looks at the door eagerly. A minute passes. Nothing happens.Finally the lawyer says," Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all waited with expectation. I, therefore, put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict(裁决）of no guilty.The jury, clearly confused, retires to discuss.A very few minutes later, the jury returned and a representative pronouns a verdict of guilty.“But how?” inquires the lawyer. “You must have had some doubt; I saw all of you stare at the doo r.”Answers the representative, “Oh, we did look.

The tradition of carrying or wearing one of each item is said to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couple. Have you ever stopped to think what the saying really means? What is its origin and what does each item represent?The original saying dates back to the Victoria times and states, “somethi ng old, something new, something borrowed and something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.” Something old A bride may wear or carry something old to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life. Many brides wear a piece of family jewelry as their old items. Some brides wear the wedding dress worn by theirmother or grandmother. In many cases, something old may also be something borrowed.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent success and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage. If the bride purchases her wedding dress new, it may represent her news items, but any item that is new may be used. Something “new” is usually the easiest kind to fill.Something borrowed The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married. It is said that their happiness will rub off on you and bring lasting happiness to our marriage. Some brides borrow an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or perhaps a beaded(带珠子的) purse.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to ancient times when a blue wedding dress was worn to represent purity, fidelity and love.Silver sixpence Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life. Since most brides probably don’t even know what a sixpence is, this part of the tradition is not used very often in modern times. However, if a bride would like to include it in her wedding, she can purchasea silver sixpence from many companies that sell bridal supplies such as garters(袜带) and invitations.24. Why does the first paragraph end with two questions?A. To invite readers to answer them at once.B. To show the importance of this tradition.C. To have readers’ interest and attention.D. To test readers knowledge about wedding.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Something old might also be something borrowed actually.B. The part of the tr adition “silver sixpence” is never used now.C. The borrowed item can be something borrowed from any friend.D. Something new is usually the most difficult and expensive kind to fill.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thou ght about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the dange r continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feeling, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed. Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.28. When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, __________.A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. they may get ready to attack or run away29. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animal.B. They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C. They always do something wrong to other people.D. They don’t pay attention to their physi cal changes.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D. It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B. To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D. To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freelyDDiamonds are considered as the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth. Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure. When a volcano is active, it sometimes explodes and causes great damage to the nearby towns.However, at the same time of such a disaster, diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth by a number of great volcanic explosions millions of years ago. Thus, it may be very likely to find a diamond after a volcano eruption. Besides, diamonds are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea, for they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain.Diamonds are very rare. There are not many places that produce such precious things in the world. During the last century adventurers form Europe went to Brazil, because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But some returned home rich.The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most recent and exciting dis coveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the world’s diamonds now come from Congo, from Tanzania------which has the largest diamond mine in the world and also from South Africa32. What do we know about diamonds according to the passage?A. Diamonds are always accompanied by volcano eruptions.B. Diamonds are created by volcano eruptions.C. Diamonds are considered as a sign of wealth.D. Diamonds could be always found in a few riverbanks.33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a famous place producing diamonds?A. CongoB. South AfricaC. IndiaD. Western Europe34. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Diamond mining can be dangerous for the miners.B. Brazil plays a more important role in diamond mining.C. River Amazon has no large diamond mines nowadays.D. Many miners returned home due to the risks in diamond mining.35. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Eastern Russia has been famous for diamond mining for a long time.B. The diamond deposit in eastern Russia wasn’t discovered until recently.C. Eastern Russia is not as important as African countries in diamond mining.D. The eastern part of Russia will replace all African countries in diamond mining.第二节（共五小题，每小题 2 分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，答案写在答题卡上。

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:◆Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21.What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?A.Safer trips.B. Longer service hours.C.Lower costs.D. More use of transport.22.How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?A.By running special transport services.B.By offering fewer transportation options.C.By limiting their mobility on city buses.D.By providing free rides in towns and cities.第1 页共13 页23.What is considered impolite on public transportation?A.Lowering your speaking voice.B.Placing backpacks at your feet.C.Staying close to other passengers.D.Having your proof of payment at hand.解析：21.C 根据题干中transit passes over buying tickets定位到文章第一段的最后一句“they areusually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.”可知答案应选C。

Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum。
But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things on politics。
Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER，tomorrow a LEADER！”When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding。

The tradition of carrying or wearing one of each item is said to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couple. Have you ever stopped to think what the saying really means? What is its origin and what does each item represent?The original saying dates back to the Victoria times and states, “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue and a silver sixpence in you r shoe.” Something old A bride may wear or carry something old to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life. Many brides wear a piece of family jewelry as their old items. Some brides wear the wedding dress worn by theirmother or grandmother. In many cases, something old may also be something borrowed.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent success and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage. If the bride purchases her wedding dress new, it may represent her news items, but any item that is new may be used. Something “new” is usually the easiest kind to fill.Something borrowed The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married. It is said that their happiness will rub off on you and bring lasting happiness to our marriage. Some brides borrow an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or perhaps a beaded(带珠子的) purse.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to ancient times when a blue wedding dress was worn to represent purity, fidelity and love.Silver sixpence Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life. Since most brides probably don’t even know what a sixpence is, this part of the tradition is not used very often in modern times. However, if a bride would like to include it in her wedding, she can purchasea silver sixpence from many companies that sell bridal supplies such as garters(袜带) and invitations.24. Why does the first paragraph end with two questions?A. To invite readers to answer them at once.B. To show the importance of this tradition.C. To have readers’ interest and attention.D. To test readers knowledge about wedding.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Something old might also be something borrowed actually.B. The part of the tradition “silver sixpence” is never used now.C. The borrowed item can be something borrowed from any friend.D. Something new is usually the most difficult and expensive kind to fill.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ev er thought about this expression?
