Argentina〔阿根廷〕 in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom (繁荣), and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) appeared.
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes (阶级). It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there many fewer women than men, so if a man
didn’t want to be left out, his onl y choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper (上层) classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable〔受人尊敬的〕.
In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident〔明显的〕 in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dance from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafés. Though not everyone approved of (赞成) the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2021 the Argentinean embassy (大使馆) in Seoul (首尔) hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador(大使), and promote〔发扬〕 tango dancing throughout South Korea.
24. The origin of the tango is connected with .
A. Belly dances
B. American soldiers
C. Spanish city
D. the capital of Argentina
25.Which of the following is true about the tango?
A. It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.
B. People of the upper classes loved the tango most.
C. It was often danced by two men in the beginning.
D.A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.
26. Before World War I, the tango spread to .
A. America
B. France
C. Japan
D. South Korea
27.What can be the best title for the text?

The other day I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.
A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book〞. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background (背景) at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar (扯谎者).
Surely, my friend is not the only one. Approximately (大约) two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty (愧疚，有罪的) Secrets〞, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and all kinds of authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one who lies too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlik e 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s
1984. I think it’s really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress〞 (留下印象) someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky(棘手的) if the conversation became deeper.
But when asked which writers they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted (成认) they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am surprised that 58 percent said they had never done so).
28. How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A. By looking into his background.
B. By judging his way of speaking.
C. By talking about the book itself.
D. By mentioning (提及) a famous name.
29. Which of the following is a “guilty secret〞 according to the World Book Day report?
A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
B. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
C. The author admitted having read 9 books.
D. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
30. By lying about reading, a person hopes to .
A. appear knowledgeable
B. control the conversation
C. learn about the book
D. make more friends
31. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?
A. supportive.
B. Uncaring.
C. Doubtful.
D. Friendly.
D
The technology is great, without which we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depths or ea t microwave sausages (香肠). Computers have revolutionized (革新) our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can cause more problems than it solves. Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patien ts who’ve come into their surgery (诊疗室)waving an Internet print-out, believing that they have some rare (罕见的) incurable (无法治愈的) disease, say, throat cancer (喉癌). The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen (肿的). Being a graduate of the Internet “school〞of medicine does not guarantee (保证) accurate (准确的) self-health-checks.
One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample (样本) and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors
can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.〞
As a matter of routine (惯例) I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?〞I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,〞 she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms (病症) fitted (吻合), so I knew that’s what I had.〞
However, some of her symptoms, like the bad cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed (证实) it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to make sure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,〞 she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact (接触) with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?
32. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______.
A. she graduated from a medical school
B. she had bought medicine online
C. she thought she knew it well
D. she had been treated by local doctors
33. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ______.
A. to have contacted many friends
B. to have recovered in a short time
C. to have her assumption (猜测) confirmed
D. to have her disease identified in time
34. Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed〞 (Para. 7) because ______.
A. she had caused unnecessary trouble
B. she had not trusted her close friends
C. she had to refuse the doctor’s advice
D. she had to tell the truth to the doctor
35. By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ______.
A. it’s a must to take a break at work
B. i t’s unwise to simply rely on (依赖) technology
C. it’s important to believe in IT professionals〔专业人士〕
D. it’s a danger to work long hours on computers

选项里面有两项为多余选项
As one of the world’s most po werful empires (帝国), Ancient Rome has a history more than 2,000 years. The Romans’ ideas about roads, laws, government and buildings
still influence us today. The Coliseum(斗兽场) in Rome was built during the time
of the Roman Empire, in the first century A.D. 36 It is a popular tourist attraction today.
Italy is shaped like a boot. It is well-known for its designers, who create cars, handbags, clothes, shoes and other items that are in need for their style and fine workmanship (手艺).
Today, the economy of Italy is stronger than in the past. 37 Today, manufacturing (消费) and tourism are the main sources of income. There are some big companies, but Italy has many smaller companies, too.
38 The southern part does not offer as many manufacturing jobs, so it
is not as prosperous. Italy is a member of the European Union, a group of countries
that join together for better trade. The currency, or money, they use is called the “euro〞.
Food and eating good meals are important to Italians. 39 Popular
foods include pasta, risotto, minestrone and pizza. McDonald’s is also popular there. Many families still eat their main meal in the middle of the day. 40 Families spend a lot of time together.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards (信誉卡), success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 41 chasing (追逐) the same thing.

阅读下面的句子，根据首字母或者中文提示在空白处填入适宜的单词
Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes 71 (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how 72 〔express〕 ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 73 (difficult). In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble in 74 (find) appropriate
words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 75 (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 76 (proper).
As far as I am 77 (concern), my suggestion is 78 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then turn to our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher 79 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for 80 development of our writing skills.
