Paul Hogan,is the main character in the fictional Crocodile Dundee film series consisting of Crocodile Dundee,Crocodile Dundee II,and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.The character is a crocodile hunter,hence the nickname.In the first film,Crocodile Dundee,Mick is visited by a New York reporter,Sue Charlton, who travels to Australia to investigate a report she heard of a crocodile hunter,who had his leg bitten off by a crocodile in the outback.The hunter supposedly walked more than a hundred miles back to civilization and miraculously survived his injuries.However,by the time she meets him, the story turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated legend where the“bitten-off leg”turns out to be just being some bad scarring on his leg;a“love bite”as Mick calls it.Still intrigued by the idea of “Crocodile Dundee”,Sue continues with the story.They travel together out to where the incident occurred,and follow his route through the bush to the nearest hospital.Despite his old-fashioned views,the pair eventually become close,especially after Mick saves Sue from a crocodile attack.Feeling there is still more to the story,Sue invites Mick back to New York with her,as his first trip to a city(or“first trip anywhere,”as Dundee says).The rest of the film depicts Dundee as a“fish out of water,”showing how,despite his expert knowledge of living outdoors,he knows little of city life.Mick

colourful history unknown to most people.Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production existed in China from around2500B.C.,although it could be much older.For hundreds of years,China kept the secret of silk to itself as one for the most closely protected secrets in history.Anyone revealing the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished by death.At one time silk was reserved only for the Chinese emperor.Gradually,others began wearing silk.In addition to being used for clothing,silk came to have industrial uses in ancient China, something that happened in the West only in modern times.Silk was used to make musical instruments,fishing lines,weapons,ropes and even paper.During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money.Farmers paid taxes in both rice and silk.The prices of goods were calculated in lengths of silk just as they had once been calculated in gold.The importance of silk is even reflected in the Chinese language.For example,of the5000most common Chinese characters, around500have silk as their“key”.In spite of their secrecy,the Chinese eventually lost their monopoly on silk production.It reached Korea in around200B.C.when immigrants from China arrived there.Silk production came to India in300A.D..It was not until500A.D.that silk production came to Europe when travellers smuggled out silkworms in hollow tubes of bamboo.These were used to establish silkindustry in Rome(modern-day Italy),although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road.There were actually two Silk Roads,one over land and one on the sea.The land route in particular had a huge effect in history.All sorts of trade goods—silver,gold,jade,porcelain—passed along this road.Ideas travelled the Silk Road too.For example the religion of Buddhism was carried to China from India by traders on the Silk Road.The Silk Road created the first international culture,exposing many people to the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.31.How was China able to keep the secret of silk production?A.It refused to sell its silk to other countries.B.Foreigners were not permitted to enter China.C.The silkworms needed were not able to survive outside China.D.Chinese passing on the secret to foreigners were seriously punished.32.Which of the following uses of silk is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.A way of purchasing goods people sold.B.A material used for making different products.C.A method of paying money to the government.D.A valuable gift given to foreigners travelling in China.33.In what order did silk production spread throughout the world according to the passage?A.Europe→India→Korea→China.B.China→Korea→India→Europe.C.China→India→Korea→Europe.D.China→Europe→India→Korea.34.The underlined phrase“smuggled out”in Paragraph3is closest in meaning to________.A.quietly tradedB.openly removedC.illegally transportedD.violently stole35.Which of the following is true about the Silk Road?A.It allowed for economic and cultural exchanges between countries.B.It made China the most powerful country in the ancient world.C.It could only be completed by travellers with access to a boat.D.It was first developed for transferring religious ideas.CIt is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it.The word“huh?”is in worldwide use,a study found.Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include“huh?”,or something that sounds very like it.They said that while the study may sound silly,the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech.Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.But while other words used in the same context,such as“sorry”or“what”,vary widely across languages,“huh?”remains unchanged.The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world,including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana,and an Australian Aboriginal language,as well as Italian,Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.They analysed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like“huh?”and were used to request that whatever had just been said be repeated.All contained a version of“huh?”. The word was also found in another21languages.While there were subtle differences in each country,all sounded basically the same.This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing.For instance,the Japanese for“dog”is“inu”,while the French is“chien”. It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of“huh?”because the sound is quick and simple to form,as well as being easily understood.The researchers,said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like“huh?”but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication.They also have an answer for those who claim that“huh?”isn’t a word.They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages.It also can be considered a word because it’s something we learn to say,rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.36.According to researchers,the word“huh?”is very important in speech because of________.A.its stable meaning in language developmentB.its important function in communicationC.its simple and easy sound and spellingD.its popularity in every language37.What is the natural response if you hear the lady you’re speaking to say“huh?”?A.You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.B.You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice.C.You should invite her to share her different views politely.D.You should try to repeat what you’ve just said in a clearer way.38.The main method used in the research of“huh?”was________.A.interviewing language experts in universitiesB.talking with people from ten different countriesC.analyzing the recorded conversations in different languagesparing different words with the same meaning in different languages39.According to researchers,“huh?”should be considered a word rather than a sound because________.A.it is listed in most dictionariesB.it is something humans learn to sayC.there is a clear and consistent spelling of the wordD.there is a big difference in the way it pronounces in different languages40.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word“huh?”.B.To argue that“huh?”is the most important word in every language.C.To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languages.D.To instruct readers of the differences of“huh?”in different languages.DEver wonder how this season’s celebrations affect the environment?Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:The holidays are a wonderful,cheerful time whenmost people wait for Santa to bring them presents.But I’mnot like most people.I spend my time wondering just whatthe environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeerare,and more importantly,how I can calculate thoseimpacts.Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whetherSanta’s old sled is a clean green flying machine,or if he should be replacing his8reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.I should mention that,surprisingly,I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa’s magical flying reindeer,so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals.In other words,don’t complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing the environment based on this article.Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is44,000km long,twice the average of a North American driver.If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip,then reindeer power only needs to push Santa’s sled forward.To complete the trip in12hours,I estimate they must travel at a speed of about3100km/h.To travel at this speed,for this length of time,the reindeer need to eat an incredible980million calories each!!So the next question is:how much food is in980million calories?Well,if they’re eating corn, they’d need to eat16,500lbs each—or1.6acres of food.Growing12.8acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we’ll leave for another calculation.We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are“letting out”some of that corn in the form of methane(甲烷，沼气).A resting cow produces110kg of methane per year,so flying reindeer would each let out about4.8tons.With methane causing20times the global warming damage of CO2,and the altitude increasing that damage by1000%that another20times, we can put Santa’s round-trip emissions at15,488tons.This is much more than the100tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!Bad Santa.41.Which aspect does the writer NOT include in her analyses about reindeer’s influence on environment?A.Distance covered.B.Calories consumed.C.Tons of waste let out.D.Money spent on food.42.According to Paragraph6,how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed10reindeer?A.1.6.B.16.C.12.8.D.128.43.Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?A.Christmas celebrations are really a waste of money.B.Vegetarians are more likely to survive than meat-eaters.C.Raising animals has a negative influence on environment.D.The car industry does less harm to environment than farming.44.Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?A.Humourous and concerned.B.Cheerful and friendly.C.Academic and formal.D.Serious and boring.45.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Is Santa driving clean and green?B.Santa,watch where you’re going!C.Santa Claus is coming to town!D.Let’s reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，Isuddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future．For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．26．What is special

drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）．"I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，"she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets．One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，"Some lady up ahead already paid your fare．"It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator："Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty．"The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down．Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home．When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down．"I thought it was beautiful，"she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，"like a message from above．"Her husband，Frank，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter．Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant．Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin．It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days．"Here's the idea，"Anne says．"Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly．"Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools，leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady．Anne says，"Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can．" The acts of random kindness spread．If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later．Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act．Let it be yours!31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her？A．She knew the car drivers well．B．She wanted to show kindness．C．She

graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria．Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed sostrange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．36．What do we know about the author？A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge．B．His dream at university was to become a

home．D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students．41．（10分）Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high﹣tech equipment．However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way﹣﹣﹣by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes﹣about 60，000 in total﹣fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back．As expected，the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻）because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600shoes．With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to．A．fitting roomsB．trading fairsC．business talksD．group meetings42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？A．By collecting information from beachcombersB．By studying the shoes found by beachcomberC．By searching the web for ocean currents modelsD．By researching ocean currents data in the library44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for．A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB．making records for any lost objects on the seaC．running a global currents research associationD．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？A．To call people's attention to ocean pollutionB．To warn people or snipping safety in the oceanC．To explain a unique way of studing ocean currentsD．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach．第二节信息匹配（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑46．（10分）首先请阅读某大学提供给学生的项目信息：46．I grow up in a very big family．My parents

Literally, everyone “has a book in their stomach”. One in 10 Icelanders will publish one.“Does it get rather competitive?” I ask the young novelist, Kristin Eirikskdottir. “Yes, especially as I live with my mother and partner, who are also full-time writers. But we try to publish in alternate years so we do not compete too much.”“Writers are respected here,” Agla Magnusdottir tells me. “They live well. Some even get a salary.” Magnusdottir is head of the new Icelandic Literature Centre, which offers state support for literature and its translation. “They write everything— modern sagas （长篇小说）, p oetry, children’s books, literary fiction —but the biggest boom is in crime writing,” she says.So what has led to this extraordinary book boom? I would say it is due to a crop of good writers, telling interesting tales with elegant economy and fantastic characters.Iceland’s black lava （火山岩） riverbeds, its steaming, bubbling earth, with its high volcanoes and great streams also make it the perfect setting for stories. Solvi Bjorn Siggurdsson, an Icelandic novelist, says writers owe a lot to the past. “We a re a nation of storytellers. When it was dark and cold we had nothing else to do,” he says. “Thanks to the poetic works and medieval （中世纪的）sagas, we have always been surrounded by stories.”Siggurdsson shows respect to Iceland’s Nobel Literature winner, H alldor Laxness, whose books are sold in petrol stations and tourist centres across the island. Locals name their cats after Laxness and pay visits to his home. “When Laxness won the Nob el Prize in 1955 he put modern Icelandic literature on the map,” Siggurdsson tells me. “He gave us confidence to write.”4. The phrase in Icelandic “ad ganga med bok I maganum” in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______.A. Icelanders love readingB. Icelanders love writingC. there are a lot of good books in IcelandD. it’s competitive to publish a book in Iceland5. What kind of book is the most popular in Iceland?A. Poetry.B. Medieval sagas.C. Crime novels.D. Children’s stories.6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Halldor Laxness is the teacher of Siggurdsson.B. Halldor Laxness is greatly respected in Iceland.C. Writers in Iceland benefit from its literary tradition.D. Siggurdsson won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1955.7. According to the passage, Iceland _______.A. has more writers than any other country in the worldB. possesses some factors to be the perfect setting for storiesC. publishes more books than any other country in the worldD. advises people to publish books to increase their incomeCLast weekend I moved into a share house. It will come as a surprise to anyone that I’m no longer a lively, young 20-something. According to my own rules, this is not how things were supposed to be at 40. I should be organising schedules for childcare and family holidays, not working out a list assigning whose turn it is to clean the toilet. But I am. And I’m OK with it.A recent article from another 40-something who moved back in with his family after losing his job indicates how routine people can be. Comments suggested he should grow up and stop depending on his parents. Even I had a short moment thinking he should get organized by now. But why? Why should a 41-year-old have to follow the routine lifestyle?Despite the phone calls I make to keep in touch, being alone at home can be mentally challenging. So why then would I deny myself the option of having someone to talk to in the evening, to laugh with or to cook food for, simply because I think I’m too old for that kind of nonsense?Please don’t a ssume I am Peter Pan (天真的成年人). I love being alone and need quiet time. But while I’m busy at a new job, sometimes it’s difficult to keep a sunny mood when you head home alone with no one to ask how your day was or if you’d like some cake.Perhaps it’s no t us single 40-somethings that need to grow up, but the routine views of others that need to be altered. Society is changing rapidly. Jobs aren’t for life, so we need to be more flexible. Rather than give judgment, why not add it to the g rowing list of alt ernatives to the “house, two kids and a dog” nuclear family.8. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that the author .A. is as energetic as 20-somethingsB. opposes cleaning the toilet in turn between roommates.C. is changing her rules about how 40-somethings should liveD. doesn’t like organizing schedules for childcare and family holidays9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. The author thought highly of the critical people.B. The author had doubts about the 41-year-old’s choic e.C. The author still thought the man ought to be independent.D. The author showed a negative attitude to the comments.10. We can learn from Paragraph 3 and 4 that the author .A. dislikes being aloneB. can’t bear the fee ling of lonelinessC. is really too old to have a young persons’ gameD. has denied the option of having someone as company11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. People don’t live to work.B. People today enjoy a long life.C. The old rules won’t work one day.D. Nuclear families will disappear gradually.DElephants are known to be highly social and intelligent. Now there is evidence that they will show something that looks very much like a group hug when a fellow elephant is in despression.Joshua Plotnik, who leads a conservation and education group called Think Elephants, and teaches conservation at Mahidol University in Thailand, studied elephants at a park in Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, to look for consolation（慰藉）behavior.As explained by Frans de Waal, Dr. Plotnik’s Ph.D. adviser at Emory University, consolation behavior involves bystanders’ responding to an animal that is in emotional depression. The depression may be caused by a conflict with another member of the group.“We’re pretty confident it’s relatively rare in animals,” Dr. Plotnik said in an interview. He said there was good evidence for the behavior in apes, wolves and some birds. And he said there had been some reports of such behavior in dolphins and elephants.Elephants clearly have strong emotional connections to other elephants and are highly intelligent, so it made sense to think that they might console one another. To find out, Dr. Plotnik observed 26 elephants in six groups at a managed park.When one elephant was disturbed, Dr. Plotnik said, other elephants — bystanders — gathered around. They made soft sounds and touched the depressed elephant, head to mouth with their long trunk(象鼻), which are comforting gestures, for elephants.Dr. Pl otnik said that since he couldn’t always observe the original source of the depression, he couldn’t say that the behavior met the real meaning of consolation, as it was not clear whether it followed conflict. The elephants might have been scared by a person, dog, or, in some cases, a noise that humans couldn’t hear. But, he said, in every other way the elephant behavior showed that they were acting to comfort elephants that were upset.12. What would other elephants do when one elephant was in depression?A. They would stand by to watch.B. They would make comforting gestures.C. They would gather around to defend it.D. They would make sounds to cheer it up.13. Joshua Plotnik is sure that __________.A. dolphins too have consolation behaviorB. most animals have consolation behaviorC. consolation behavior only exists in a few animal speciesD. consolation behavior exist in highly intelligent animals14. What Dr. Plotnik says in the last paragraph suggests that __________.A. he is sure of the finding of his studyB. he has found a new meaning of consolationC. he needs further evidence to conclude his studyD. it’s impossible to find the source of elephants’ depression15. Which of the following best gives the main idea of the passage?A. Elephants have emotions.B. Elephants can get upset.C. Elephants are highly social and intelligent.D. Elephants give a comforting trunk.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others.For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parent should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled. 1. A. natural B. strongC. guiltyD. similar 2. A. interest B. argument C. link D. knowledge 3.

2014年广东高考英语试题及答案解析
Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she _________.A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.34. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.C.

People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.CLike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria?I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.36. What do we know about the author?A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.D. He felt honored to study English literature.37. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author ________.A. discussed his decision with his family.B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC. attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends38. In his application for the volunteer job, the author ________.A. participated in many discussionsB. went through challenging survival testsC. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD. faced strong competition from other candidates39. On arrival at the village, the author was _________.A. asked to lead a farming teamB. sent to teach in a schoolhouseC. received warmly by local villagersD. arranged to live in a separate house.40. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria?A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB. He had learned to communicate in the local language.C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home.D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.DScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be agreat experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.41. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _______.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missingC. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident43. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.44. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ________.A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB. making records for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.ldlife, I specialize in zoology, and I’m a good observer与monitoring wildlife相匹配。

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers w ho don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.1. A. natural B. strong C. guilty D. similar2. A. interest B. argument C. link D. knowledge3.

I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own -- and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist ”.An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn't have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn't know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings," wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love "can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”.I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What's more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only beena good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26. From Paragraph l, we can learn that the writer_________A. was deeply moved by the botanist's talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.28. The underlined expression "rapt attention" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaningto__________A. full understandingB. strong interestC. great uncertaintyD. little curiosity29. According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?A. Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.B. Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.C. Promising a future meeting for more communication.D. Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To prove the writer is an interesting conversationalist.B. To share an interesting experience at a dinner party.C. To explain what makes a good conversationalist.D. To show that botanists can be really talkative.BA British dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter(推特，流行社交网络)．Computer expert Nat Morris, 30, has designed a system to give his pet a "tweet treat" by sending him a Twitter message.His dog Toby: gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@ feedtoby “.Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said, "Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn't know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop. "Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amaze d with the “tweet treat" machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to be tween 9 a. m. and 9 p. m. I'm thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat, “explained Nat.How Nat's Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next, the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby's food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed.31. Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he________.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn't like to feed Toby by hand32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine's operating time?A. He doesn't want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn't want Toby to be woken up at night.33.

In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. Technology.B. Health.C. Environment.D. Style.CNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice, practice, practice -- and then sleep on it."I was very surprised by this finding,” said Robert Stickgold, a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study, 100 college students each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through amaze (谜宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried -- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement, “which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found a connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn't help a person learn -- it's the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn't sleep, didn't show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to________A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a mazeC. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37. What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don't dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39. According to the last paragraph, before sleeping the maze-dreamers________A. found it difficult to do the mazeB. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study's conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning.B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.DThe recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's greatest scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families -- not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service. Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University --and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither man has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, "You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for. “He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生).Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, "It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking aboutDarwinian evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes. Although communication is slow - he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine - his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and the origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins' backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies at Oxford.D. Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.笫二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，Isuddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future．For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．26．What is special

title of the passage？A．The Qualities of a MusicianB．The Story of a Musical TalentC．The Importance of Early EducationD．The Relationship between Memory and Music．31．（10分）It was a cold winter day．A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）．"I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，"she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets．One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，"Some lady up ahead already paid your fare．"It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator："Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty．"The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down．Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home．When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down．"I thought it was beautiful，"she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，"like a message from above．"Her husband，Frank，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter．Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant．Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin．It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days．"Here's the idea，"Anne says．"Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly．"Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools，leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady．Anne says，"Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can．" The acts of random kindness spread．If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later．Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act．Let it be yours!31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her？A．She knew the car drivers well．B．She wanted to show kindness．C．She hoped to please others．D．She had seven tickets．32．Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she．A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a

graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria．Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed sostrange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．36．What do we know about the author？A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge．B．His dream at university was to become a

arrival at the village，the author was．A．Asked to lead a farming teamB．Sent to teach in schoolhouseC．Received warmly by local villagersD．Arranged to live in a separate house．40．What can we infer from the author's experiences in Nigeria？A．He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB．He had learned to communicate in the local language．C．He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home．D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students．41．（10分）Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high﹣tech equipment．However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way﹣﹣﹣by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes﹣about 60，000 in total﹣fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back．As expected，the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻）because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600shoes．With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to．A．fitting roomsB．trading fairsC．business talksD．group meetings42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？A．By collecting information from beachcombersB．By studying the shoes found by beachcomberC．By searching the web for ocean currents modelsD．By researching ocean currents data in the library44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for．A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB．making records for any lost objects on the seaC．running a global currents research associationD．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？A．To call people's attention to ocean pollutionB．To warn people or snipping safety in the oceanC．To explain a unique way of studing ocean currentsD．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach．第二节信息匹配（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑46．（10分）首先请阅读某大学提供给学生的项目信息：46．I grow up in a very big family．My parents

came，we were ready．After our plane landed，we went to the hotel．We had made our reservation six months（17）earlier（early），but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake．We （18）were told（tell）that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week，（19）but for the week after．I didn't understand （20）why this would happen and my credit card had already been charged（21）for the reservation．What's worse，the hotel had been fully booked．When we were wondering what to do，the manager came out．She was （22）surprisingly （surprise）helpful．She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on（23）the top floor．We had never stayed in such an amazing room，and we weren't charged extra．The next day，my brother and I went to the beach （24）where we watched some people play volleyball．We got a little （25）sunburned/sunburnt （sunburn），but the day had been so relaxing that we didn't mind．【分析】本文是记叙文．讲述的是我和兄弟去迈阿密旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆的房间已订满，正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将我们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，这真是个意外的意外．通过能够不考虑自己的利益，而设身处地地为他人着想，这是一个优良的品质．【解答】16．it
