(Text 10)
M：Good morning! This morning on Holiday Time I want to tell you about the cycling trip I took recently to Northumberland in the north of England.
Northumberland is a beautiful area of England and perfect for cycling. There’s very little traffic on the roads and plenty to see and do. For example, why not visit a castle? More of them are open to the public here than any other part of the country. While I was there I actually stayed in a flat in a castle，⑰ but there are many hotels, cottages or bed and breakfast places to choose from. In the summer
it’s important to book in advance, but I recommend going in the spring，⑱as it’s not so difficult to find somewhere to stay at that time of the year. You will find that some places are closed in winter.
Most of the small towns in the area have cycling centres where you can hire a bike. A week’s hire will cost 35 pounds; two weeks will save 15 pounds.⑲Try to plan your holiday when there is a local event or festival happening. I went in June and was lucky enough to go to a festival of local food.⑳ Every August there’s an international festival of music, but you’ll find something going on in almost every month of the year.
第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
When people introduce themselves，I always hear them say “I’m just a housewife”．I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self­pity.Is it really a crime to be a housewife？Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?
How could you be “just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service？A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child’s studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc.A housewife could be anyone：daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on.Don’t think you are not being paid for it.You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.
It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason.After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you.They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them.Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?
Respect yourself for what you are.Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity.The world understands the importance of your job; it’s time to make them accept it.Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I am a housewi fe”．Kick that “just” out.
【解题导语】本文主要讨论了家庭主妇的伟大之处。

21．How do people feel when they say “I’m just a housewife”？
A．Satisfied. B．Proud.
C．Regretful. D．Anxious.
C解析：细节理解题。

根据第一段的第二句“I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self­pity.”可知，家庭主妇在自我介绍时会对自己的身份感到后悔或者遗憾。

22．Listing the housewife’s duties, the author implies a housewife ________．A．usually leads a terrible life
B．plays a more important role
C．does not always get her reward
D．makes a great contribution to the family
D解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段的整体内容可知，家庭主妇身兼多职，其在家庭中的作用和地位不可小觑，为整个家庭做出了巨大的贡献。

23．If a housewife worked outside, she would ________．
A．have the same life like before
B．set a comfortable home for her family
C．absorb her family’s stress
D．lose the content that she is enjoying
D解析：推理判断题。

根据第三段的“Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money？”可推知，职业妇女是不可能享有家庭主妇所享有的那种满足感的，那是钱买不来的。

24．What is the author’s attitude toward housewives?
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.
C．Opposed. D．Tolerant.
A解析：观点态度题。

根据文章最后一段的“Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes ‘I am a housewife’．Kick that ‘just’ out.”可推知，作者是支持家庭主妇的。

B
When I was in college，I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow，Scotland.In my brief time there，I came to love Scotland for its local culture，food and scenery.
You might think，“Scotland isn’t so different from the U．S.；they still speak English there！”But when I stepped off the plane，I was greeted by a gruff­voiced(声
音粗哑的) lady at customs.“You’ll be coming from America，then？”She asked me，and I nodded.“But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States！”Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away.I was not in the U．S. any more，where customs agents never joke around.
As I settled in at the university，I could feel myself getting used to hearing—and even speaking—the Scottish English of my customs agent.In classroom discussions，people would say “em” when they couldn’t think of what to say instead of“um”，which was great fun.After the first few weeks，I stopped chuckling about this.Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night，running around campus and shouting，“Go！Lat’s go，lat’s go，lat’s go(curse word)Glasgow！”Pretty soon，I was no longer saying“thanks”at the supermarket—instead，I said “cheers”．
My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊杂碎布丁)．I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasn’t brave enough to try haggis.Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies(肉馅饼)．Add a cup of tea—though I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee instead—and a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.
Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland，I’d gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world.Then I’d reflect that there’s a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.
【解题导语】本文介绍了“我”在苏格兰学习期间的体验：居民友好，食物独特，景色优美，苏格兰英语与美式英语有区别。

25．What did the author think of the lady at customs?
A．Impolite. B．Friendly.
C．Serious. D．Calm.
B解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away.I was not in the U．S. any more，where customs agents never joke around.”可知，作者认为她的苏格兰英语和幽默用得恰到好处，而美国的海关工作人员却从来不跟人开玩笑；据此可推断，作者认为这位在海关工作的女士是友好的，故B项正确。

26．What does the underlined word “chuckling” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Talking loudly. B．Comparing.
C．Laughing quietly. D．Hearing.
C解析：词义猜测题。

根据第三段中的“In classroom discussions，people would say...was great fun.After the first few weeks，I stopped chuckling about this.”
并结合“Pretty soon, I．..said‘cheers’．”可推知，在教室讨论时，“我”发现他们的发音很有趣，几周后，“我”适应了他们的发音，所以不再偷笑。

故画线词意为“偷笑”，C 项正确。

27．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To explain why Scotland is famous for golf.
B．To promote the development of Scottish catering trade.
C．To introduce different pronunciations of “em” and “um”．
D．To share his experiences in Scotland as an exchange student.
D解析：写作意图题。

通读全文并结合第一段中的“In my brief time there，I came to love Scotland for its local culture，food and scenery.”可知，本文旨在和读者分享“我”在苏格兰做交换生期间所感受到的苏格兰文化、美食和美景，故D项正确。

C
I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions.Speaking to strangers was not encouraged.People were most hospitable(好客的) and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.
However，I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US，where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
I experienced Italian hospitality first­hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling，one afternoon，from Genoa to Florence.Sinking gratefully into an empty seat，I was berated(训斥) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat—it had not been “spare” after all.I apologized in English，and got up to allow him back into the seat.The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language，but he，too，realized my genuine mistake.He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat，and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey.The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them.I feel that if this had been in England，a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture.I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers.We sat together in near silence.Nobody spoke to me nor，as I expected，to anyone else they did not know.They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else’s privacy.However，when I travelled across the United States，whether by plane or Greyhound bus，I was never short of conversation.Conversation was going on all around
me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself.They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person，whether they were strangers or not.
【解题导语】本文作者通过自己的旅行经历说明了不同文化中人们对于“好客”和“礼貌”的表达方式不一样。

28．What do we know about the occupants of the carriage when the author was travelling in Italy?
A．They all laughed at the author for his mistake.
B．They were all on the side of the gentleman.
C．They would not bear a mistake like the author’s in public.
D．They all showed their understanding of the author’s mistake.
D解析：细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“but he，too，realized my genuine mistake.He smiled...The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them.”可知，车厢里其他的人都对作者点头微笑，说明他们理解作者的错误。

故选D。

29．The author finally believes the Italian people are ________．
A．cold B．rude
C．hospitable D．helpful
C解析：推理判断题。

根据第三段第一句的“I experienced Italian hospitality”以及本段内容可推知，意大利人热情友好。

故选C。

30．According to the last paragraph，English passengers sat in near silence because ________．
A．they were all strangers to each other
B．they were too tired to speak
C．privacy was a valued tradition in England
D．everybody had their own share of privacy
C解析：细节理解题。

根据最后一段中的“We sat together in near silence.Nobody spoke to me nor，as I expected，to anyone else they did not know.They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else’s privacy.”可知，英国乘客几乎都不说话，因为他们国家的传统认为干涉别人的隐私是不礼貌的。

故选C。

31．The purpose of the author is to tell us ________．
A．his travelling experience
B．cultural differences to show hospitality and politeness
C．the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the US
D．how to adapt ourselves to a new culture
B解析：写作意图题。

文章最后一段通过两个不同的情景对比，告诉我们不同文化中人们对“好客”和“礼貌”的表达方式不一样。

故选B。

D
Have you played it？It’s a game for a person or for a carload.
Someone begins, “I’m grateful to God for...” And he or she shares something. Then the next person gives gratitude for something. This goes on for 5 minutes or more until you reach your destination. There’s no loser. Everyone feels happy after expressing gratitude. And sometimes you discover amazing things.
My 5­year­old granddaughter and I played the gratitude game when she visited us. I found out she was grateful to her friend Josh. . . and “the other Josh”. She was grateful to go swimming at the pool. She was grateful to have a daddy who played with her and to a nice mommy.
She would begin the gratitude games as soon as we settled into the car to drive somewhere. Playing it with her, I tried to be honest and not just say something fast.
I really stopped to think. What was I grateful for at the moment？That our country was not at war. That we had plenty to eat. Playing the game made me more aware of the good things in my life.
A friend of mine was having a tough time seeing that there wasn’t any good in his life. I suggested to my friend that he take a few minutes before going to bed and write down all the good things he could think of that happened during the day.
Later he told me what happened.He couldn’t think of anything good.But he persisted until he was able to write a few things down.
The next morning he decided to look for signs of good during the day. He sat down on his front steps. A robin(知更鸟) landed on the grass. In his words, it began “doing a little dance”， preening(整理羽毛) and cleaning itself. He watched the entire show. It was delightful. He realized that if he hadn’t been really looking for good, he would never have noticed the robin and would have missed what to him was a remarkable display.
That evening he filled several pages with recordings of good that had happened during the day and things he was grateful for. Gratitude had made a huge difference!
【解题导语】这是一篇生活类短文。

作者通过一个感恩游戏引入话题，提醒我们要寻找身边美好的东西，学会感恩。

32.The purpose of the gratitude game is to ________.
A．let people share their gratitude to God
B．discover amazing things in life
C．make people realize the good things around them
D．practice people’s skill of expressing themselves
C解析：推理判断题。

根据第四段最后一句可以推断出这个游戏的意图是让人们意识到他们身边美好的东西。

33.From the description by the writer, we can know that her granddaughter ________.
A．spoke much faster than the writer
B．enjoyed the gratitude game
C．finished the game within five minutes
D．doubted her honesty
B解析：推理判断题。

根据第三段中的My 5­year­old granddaughter and I played the gratitude game when she visited us.和第四段中的She would begin the gratitude games as soon as we settled into the car to drive somewhere.可推断，作者的孙女喜欢玩这个游戏。

34.What was the problem with the writer’s friend?
A．He saw nothing worth his appreciation.
B．He had lost his purpose of life.
C．He had trouble remembering what had happened during the day.
D．He found it hard to play the game.
A解析：细节理解题。

由第五段第一句话可知，有一段时间“我”的朋友看不到生活中任何美好的东西，即他看不到值得欣赏、感激的事物，因此答案为A项。

35.The story of the writer’s friend tells us that __________.
A．life is meaningless to a person who doesn’t know how to give gratitude B．one can always find relief in nature when he is in depression
C．gratitude plays an important role in changing a person’s character
D．it’s not difficult to find good things in life if one starts looking for them
D解析：推理判断题。

作者的朋友接受了作者的建议后坚持寻找并记录生活中美好的事情，取得了成效，由此可以推断D项正确，即只要你寻找就不难发现生活中美好的事物。

【解题导语】本文叙述了在圣诞节那一天作者所在的医院里发生的事情。

一个妇女带着四个孩子来医院假装看病，其实是为了在这里取暖，值班的作者了解了情况后和其他护士一起给这家人提供了食物和礼物。

这家人离开时，小女孩亲了作者并说作者是天使。

41．A.quiet B．noisy
C．bright D．dark
A解析：根据下文内容可知，作者没有预料到圣诞节那天有病人，因为圣诞节病人一般很少，所以急诊室很安静(quiet)。

42．A.studying B．talking
C．working D．playing
C解析：根据上文提到的作者说自己是一个不幸的护士，在圣诞节还必须工作的内容可知，此处指当作者正抱怨着自己在如此美好的节日里还要工作(working)时。

43．A.suspecting B．expecting
C．forgetting D．accepting
A解析：因为他们看起来都很健康，所以作者用怀疑的(suspecting)方式问“你们都生病了吗”。

44．A.excitedly B．surprisedly
C．weakly D．strongly
C解析：根据空后的“lowered her head”及下文的内容可知，他们都没有生病，而是假装生病以待在暖和的医院里，故此处指的应是这个女士弱弱地回答道。

excitedly“激动地”；surprisedly“惊讶地”；weakly“虚弱地”；strongly“强有力地”。

45．A.or B．so
C．and D．but
D解析：有两个孩子说头疼，但却未伴随有正常的头疼时的身体语言，例如托着头。

前后句为转折关系，故用but。

46．A.what B．which
C．how D．why
B解析：两个孩子耳朵疼，但没有一个能告诉作者哪只耳朵疼。

分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是宾语从句，表示“哪一个”，且此处是有范围的选择，故用which。

47．A.explaining B．understanding
C．promoting D．pretending
D解析：句中的“but”说明这个女士不是真咳嗽，似乎是假装(pretending)的。

explain“解释”；understand“理解”；promote“促进”。

48．A.unless B．before
C．after D．when
B解析：作者向他们解释说，医生要过一会儿才能来见他们。

before“在……之前”，符合语境。

unless“如果不”；after“在……之后”；when“当……的时候”。

49．A.money B．breath
C．break D．time
D解析：根据下文中的“they were homeless and the hospital was ______”及“a family who only ______ a warm place on Christmas Day”可知他们只是想待在医院里，不着急“看病”，故此处指的应是这位母亲回答作者道“请慢慢来”。

take your time“慢慢来，别着急”。

61．are protected解析：考查时态和语态。

根据空格前的“do not make sure”可知，此处应使用一般现在时；因从句谓语动词protect与主语their houses and homes构成动宾关系，所以使用被动语态。

62．rapidly解析：考查副词。

此处为副词作状语，修饰动词短语“goes up”。

63．strangers解析：考查名词。

此处为give后的直接宾语，因此应用名词，又因此处应为泛指意义的复数名词，所以填入strangers。

64．cleaned解析：考查过去分词。

此处为have的复合结构，因为clean与the snow 构成动宾关系，所以用过去分词作宾补。

65．to park解析：考查固定搭配。

ask sb. to do sth.意为要求某人做某事。
