A
It was a very foggy day in London. The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than a foot or so. Buses, cars and taxis were not able to run and were standing by the side of the road. People were trying to find their way about on foot but were losing their way in the fog. Mr. Smith had a very important meeting at the House of Commons and had to get there but no one could take him. He tried to walk there but found he was quite lost. Suddenly he bumped into a stranger. The stranger asked if he could help him. Mr. Smith said he wanted to get to the Houses of Parliament. The stranger told him he would take him there. Mr. Smith thanked him and they started to walk there. The fog was getting thicker every minute but the stranger had no difficulty in finding the way. He went along one street, turned down another, crossed a square and at last after about half an hour’s walk they arr ived at the Houses of Parliament.
Mr. Smith couldn’t understand how the stranger found his way. “It is wonderful,” he said. “How do you find the way in the fog?”
“It is no trouble at all to me,” said the stranger, “I am blind.”
21. According to the passage, we can infer that bump into means _______.

A. Because he is a local inhabitant of London.
B. Because he lives next to the Houses of Parliament.
C. Because he isfamiliar with the route.
D. Because he finds the way not by sight but by heart.

If you are studying at school, do be a polite and clever student! There is no excuse for not doing your assignments(作业). If you can’t come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teacher’s job to remind you of the missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test，you should take the test again within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.
In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “teacher”. Als o you should use Mr. Miss, Ms or Mrs. before
the last name (such as Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break. Also, removing your shoes in the classroom is not polite.
25. What should you do if you miss a class?
A. Give an excuse for missing the assignments.
B. Tell the teacher you can’t come to school or do the assignments.
C. Ask your teacher to remind you of the missed assignments.
D. Call your teacher or your classmate to find out what assignments were given.
26. What does “a make-up test ”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A test for all students.
B. A test for the students with low scores.
C. A test for the students missing the last test.
D. A test for whoever missed the last test.
27. When can a student miss a test according to the passage?
A. When he/she is late for the test.
B. When he/she is really sick.
C. When he/she failed another test.
D. When he/she doesn’t want to have the test.
28. In America, if your teacher’s name is Susan Black, what should you call her politely?
A. Ms Black.
B. Ms Susan.
C. Susan Black.
D. Teacher Black.
C
It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. “Where are you going？” “Places. ”“When will you be back？” “Sometime. ” “Who will you be with？” “People. ”
That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from you so that they’ll be able to st and on their own as a young adult.
Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children’s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult，they’ll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now，they need to separate from you.
Your job，however，is to keep them safe—and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with. Let t hem know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate(支配) their life and control them；it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
When they’re home and sit down to eat a meal，sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them an interesting
incident at the office，let them in on a bit of family gossip，discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life，they just may let you in of theirs.
29. The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to “________”．
A. Teens no longer tell parents their detailed information
B. Teens don’t tell parents where they had been any more
C. Parents are impatient to listen to their children
D. Parents are occupied by doing their business
30. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.
A. the generation gap is becoming wider and wider
B. teens quarrel a lot with their parents
C. teens don’t w ant to live with other family members
D. some parents feel distant from their teenage children
31. The author believes that teens’ one-word answers show__________.
A. their awareness of independence
B. their physical and mental changes
C. an unpleasant parent-child relationship
D. their wishes for keeping silent
32. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Parents should understand their children.
B. Parents should keep their children safe.
C. Parents should open their hearts to their children.
D. Parents should give their children enough freedom.
D
Britain of course is a favourite tourist place, but some people think tours of the country have pros and cons.
GOOD NEWS
Free museums.No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities.
Pop music.Britain is the only country to compete with the US on this score.
Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.

Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to disappoint the keenest tourists, although the over crowded London tube is unbelievably popular.
Rain. Still in the number one complaint.
No air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.

33. What do tourists complain most?

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Which musical instrument shall I learn?
Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument, but they are put off
by one big problem：What to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide.
36
Many instruments are of different use，but some are more fit for certain types of music
Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider
this before you start.
___37_
Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people,
what sort of instrument would be most practical? Your first thought of playing the violin,
for example, might disappear when too many people are competing with you！
38
Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your
neighbours crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practise, as well as the
feelings of the people you live with or near.
39
This is quite a big factor. Many instruments can be bought at different prices. But this
doesn't change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you
can't afford your chosen instrument，will you be able to borrow someone else's or hire one?
40
Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try
theirs. It's also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays a
few different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction.
A. Still not sure?
B. Where are you going to practice?
C. How much money can you spend?
D. Are you weak or strong？
E.What kind of music do you like ?
F. Do you want to play with other people?
