Gett ing a bank loa n, particularly for a new small busi ness, is like going through the eye of a n eedle.Banks favor established bus in ess people with a solid credit rati ng and a large bank acco unt.They should also have experie nee in the bus in ess they propose to en ter, and offer well-prepared bus in ess pla ns that show the ability to repay the loa ns. If you are not such a pers on, the n you n eed to double your preparati ons to convince the ban ker to lend you that much n eeded start-up capital. If your bus in ess is new and small, ban kers will n eed to know as much as possible about you and your bus in ess.However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the shghtest idea how or when they intend to .repay the money they request Often they don't even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two com mon resp on ses: "How much money can I get?" and "As much as possible. Is”t any wonder that lenders say no?So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.36. By saying "Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle", the writeremphasizes _____ .A. the ability to borrow from a bankB. the importa nee of borrow ing moneyC. the difficulty of gett ing a bank loa nD. the start-up of a new small bus in ess37. Banks prefer to give a loa n to those who ____ .A. are in n eed of start-up capitalB. have the ability to pay it backC. own an old and large bus in essD. have n't borrowed money before38. Some small bus in esses fail to get a bank loa n because ___ .A. the form they fill in is in completeB. their products are not tech ni cally adva needC. the amount of money they want to borrow is too bigD. they have no clear idea of how much they n eed to borrow39. The writer advises that before appl ying for a bank loa n, the applica nt should _ .A. thoroughly prepareB. do some market researchC. lear n a lot about the bankD. know the upper limit of the loa nsBA new weap on is on the way in the fight aga inst smok ing in Europe. Soon whe n smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won ' t agree when they seetheir packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The Europea n Union announ ced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member n ati ons to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the atte nti on of teen agers, the special packets warn of Ion g-term medical dan gers, like can cer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.“ The true face of smok ing is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send tothe young, ” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “ Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes. ”The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better tha n curre nt writte n warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings in cluded “ smok ing kills ” and “ smok ing can lead to a slow an(painful death. ”So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the nu mber of smokers. Accord ing to studies, smok ing is the sin gle biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more tha n 650,000 smokers die, more tha n one pers on a minu te.40.

Smok ing has caused more deaths tha n anything else in EU.CWhen Taylor Swift first came to the atte nti on of the public, she was a 17-year-old n ewcomer who loved singing to her guitar. She seemed far more enthusiastic than skillful.Four years later, Swift became a multi-award winner. This mon th, she was crow ned Womanof the Year by Billboard magazine, the youngest singer-song-writer ever to receive the honor.Aged only 21, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has bee n an un believable role model for hopeful artists and young women everywhere,” said Bill Werde, Billboard's director.Werde'swords do not come from no where. Un like many pop sin gers, especially those who do not write their own material, Swift has the power of turning her ideas into lyrics that will set people thi nki ng. H idde n ben eath Taylor Swift 's no t-a-girl, no t-yet-a-woma n sweet ness is a veryskillful songwriting technique, ” wrote Leah Greenblartt in an American magazine.Songwriting, as Swift explains, is to cope with issues. “I nd to write about things that reallyimpact me most. ” There certainly seems to be something true and honest running through every one of the 14 songs on her album, Speak Now, about f he lessons and confusion and heartbreak and all the different things that go along with being 18, 19 and 20 ”."For the audience too young to have enpenenced real passion or heartbreak, Spiffs songs are like a potential road map, pramising things will work out OK^ commented Dorian in aBritish newspaperNow Swift is getting ready to go further and has so far written about 10 songs for her 2012 album, which is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult. “ They6 sad, if I rm being honest.” They 're about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You 're not always going to be perfectly happy as you grow up. ”43. What does the write mean by sayi ng Werde's words do not come from no where ”？A. Swift sta nds out as a sin ger and son gwriter.B. Only Swift writes her own son gs.C. Swift begins to take interest in singing.D. Swift decides to deal with problems in her new album.44. Which of the followi ng stateme nts is NOT true accord ing to the passage?A. Swift has the ability to write songs with deeper meanin gs.B. Swift is both en thusiastic and skillful now.C. Swift achieved a lot when she began to sing on the stage.D. Swift 'album Speak Now has 14 songs.45. Taylor Swift '2012 album mainly records _____ .A. dream and realityB. heartbreak and despairC. pain and growthD. problems and society46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Swift comes to people ' attentionB. Swift rises to fameC. Swift wins many awardsD. Swift experie nces real passi onDFrie nds play an importa nt part in our lives, and although we may take frien dship for gra nted, we ofte n don't clearly un dersta nd how we make frien ds. While we get on well with a nu mber of people, we are usually fiiends with only a very few--for exampl爲the average among students is about per person In all the cases of fhendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree tif intirnacy（亲密）between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, econo mic con diti ons, social positi on, and in tellige nee. Although these factors are not of prime importanee, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and backgro und.Some frien dly relatio nships can be kept on argume nt and discussi on, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and in terests in com mon ---they ofte n talk about "being on the same wavelength. ” It gen erally takes time to reach this point. And the more in timately in volved people become, the more they rely on one ano ther. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to lear n to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differe nces of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association betwee n two pers ons. But the support ing and un dersta nding of each other that results from shared experie nces and emotio ns does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differe nces in backgro und, and break dow n barriers of age, class or race.47. Accord ing to the author, __ .A. all those who get on well with each other are friendsB. friends are closer tha n people who just get on with each otherC. every one un dersta nds clearly how to make friendsD. every student has 6 friends48. In paragraph 2, “ being on the same wavelength means __ .A. using the same freque ncy while tak ingB. keep ing the same frien dly relati on ship as other people doC. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD. hav ing the same backgro und49. Which of the follow ing is not implied （暗示）in the passage?A. Even friends may have differe nces of opi nion.B. Frie nds n ever argue with each other.C. It gen erally takes time for people to become close frien ds.D. Some one's habits may annoy his frien ds.50.

(共15小题, 每小题2分, 满分30分)A―Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)？‖Jessica asked. ―A skeleton in the closet?‖ her mother paused thoughtfully, Well, it‘s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad‘s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‗a skeleton in his family‘s closet‘. He really wouldn‘t want any neighbor to know about it.‖―Why pick on my family?‖Jessica‘s father said with anger. ―Your family history isn‘t so good, you know. Wasn‘t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?‖―Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.‖―Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,‖Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica‘s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica‘s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica‘s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.―What happened? Where am I?‖ she asked. ―You just destroyed the school‘s skeleton, Mum,‖explained Jessica. ―I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.‖ Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. ―They‘re both crazy,‖ she thought.56．According to Jessica‘s mother, ―a skeleton in the closet‖ means .A．a family honor B．a family secret C．a family story D． a family treasure57．What can we learn about some Australian‘s ancestors from Paragraph 2?A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.58．Jessica‘s mother fell down into a faint because she was .A．knocked B．frightened C．injured D．surprised 59．Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A．She was curious about it.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.64. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.65. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D. A beekeeper.66. The honey guide is special in the way .A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees' nests67. What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lover's HelperDAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. Fora full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film ―Stars‖!68. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A crowd-scene actorD. A workman for scene setting69. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene.C. The low temperature.D. The film being shown.70. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film.C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.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。

(共15小题, 每小题2分, 满分30分)A“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)？”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought. 56．According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means .A．a family honor B．a family secret C．a family story D． a family treasure57．What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.58．Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was .A．knocked B．frightened C．injured D．surprised 59．Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A．She was curious about it. B．She planned to keep it for fun.C．She needed it for her school task. D．She intended to scare her parents.BA. To help quit smoking.B. To control blood pressure.C. To improve unhealthy diet.D.

Face swelling.B. Upset stomach.C. Kidney failure.D. Muscle weakness.CHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.64. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.65. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D. A beekeeper.66. The honey guide is special in the way .A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees' nests67. What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lover's HelperDAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “Stars”!68. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A crowd-scene actorD. A workman for scene setting69. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene.C. The low temperature.D. The film being shown.70. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film.C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.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。
