ATeachers’ Day is, interestingly, not celebrated on the same day all over the world. In some countries it is marked by a holiday, in others it is a working day.International Teachers’ Day is celebrated on October 5.

Its aim is to encourage supports for teachers and to meet the needs of students.China ― In 1939, Teachers’ Day was set for August 27, Confucius' birthday. In1951, the celebration was stopped.

Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China's precious cultural heritage (遗产) (all the 9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage) as well as a necessary part of the lifeof Suzhou citizens, not to mention they are also world-famous tourism resorts (胜地). In fact, their unique historical and cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national parks.The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can date back to the Song Dynasty. However, the gardens impress their visitors not only with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes, particularly Canglang Pavilion, Zhuozheng Garden, Lion Grove and Liu Garden, the most famous four that represent different styles of dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.In 1978, an imitation(仿造物) of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen Congzhou (the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the City Museum of Art in New York, US, which was the first time ever to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.9. ________parks and gardens are selected as National Parks in the first group.A. 9B. 8C. 20D. 410.

TokyoDOn November 14, 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi while trying to settle a line(边界) problem between Mississippi and Louisiana. Being an expert outdoorsman, he liked to hunt large animals.However, his hunt was going poorly that days, and he couldn’t seem to find anything worthy of firing his gun. His followers, trying to help him, caught aLouisiana black baby bear for the President to shoot, but he refused. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he spared the life of the baby bear and set it free.A famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star, Mr. Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon titled, Drawing the Line in Mississippi, which used the story of the President refusing to shoot the bear.The cartoon in the Washington Star showed Teddy Roosevelt, gun in hand, with his back turned on a pretty baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, got the idea from the cartoon and make a toy bear. Planning to use it only as a display, he placed the bear in his toy store window, and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Michtom's surprise, he was surrounded by customers eager to buy it. He asked for and received President Roosevelt's permission to use his name for the bears that he and his wife made, and the Teddy Bear was born! Michtom soon made Teddy bears by the thousands. The money from selling Teddy bears made him, in 1903, form the Ideal Toy pany.13. Why did Theodore Roosevelt e to Mississippi?A. To go on a hunting trip.B. To look for large animals.C.

He didn’t expect Teddy Bear to be popular.16. Who named the toy bear “Teddy Bear”?A. Morris Michtom.B. Teddy Roosevelt.C. Mr. Clifford Berryman.D. Michtom and his wife.EOne of the biggest social issues in Japan is the increasingly low marriage rate among young people and the small birth rate, which led to an aging and eventuallyshrinking(萎缩)population. Most young Japanese women simply don’t seem interested in having many children.Now what began in Japan is happening globally. As David Brooks wrote, birth rate is being smaller in much of the world, from Iran — 1.7 births rate per woman — to Russian, where low birth rates connected with high death rates mean the population is already shrinking. And this includes US, which has long had higher birth rates than most developed nations. Aging countries will face the burden of caring for large elderly populations without a larger resource of young workers.It’s true that global aging is going to present some major challenges. Who will take care of the elderly? Will an older world be less active and slower to change and adapt? It’s all true. Sometimes I worry about a ing generational war over resources, just as I worry about how I will take care of my own parents in their old age, just as I worry about who might take care of me.But here’s the thing: an older world m ay have less pressure on the environment. As we all know, the environment is the real victim of overpopulation.So maybe a world that grows slower and grows older will put less pressure on the environment, and buy us a few more years to ensure our energy use, along with our birthrates, reaches a sustainable(可持续的)level. After all, we’re supposed to get smarter as we got older. Hopefully that holds true for the planet as well.17. The population issue in Japan was mentioned to ________.A. show young people’s preference to marriageB. introduce the topic of global birth rate being smallerC. indicate the deeper cause of Japan’s depressionD. emphasize the revolution of Japanese women18. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to David Brook?A. The birth rates all over the world are being smaller.B. The most developed countries have higher death rates.C. America is the only developed country with higher birth rate.D. Birth rate’s being smaller means a great risk to aging countries.19. Which will be caused by low birth rates according to the passage?A. Aging society.B. Environmental problems.C. High death rates.D. Low employment rates.20. What’s the author’s attitude to the worldwide birth rates being smaller?A. Anxious.B. Disappointed.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.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。

AAmong the four skills in learning English,which one of these is the“odd-man-out”? The answer is sp eaking.The other three you can do alone on your own.But you can’t really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?At school- If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak.If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible.Don’t worry about your mistakes.Just speak!Conversation Clubs-Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another.Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee(费用).Shopping-Even if you don’t want to buy anything,you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop.“How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation-and it costs you nothing!Café and Bars-There are often American,Britain,Irish and Australian bars in many large cities.If you can find one, you’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.Language is all around you-Everywhere you go,you find language.Shop names,street names,advertisements,notices,and car numbers….When you walk down the street,practice reading the words and numbers that you see.Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English.But don’t speak too loud!Songs and Video-Repeat the words of an English song singing with the music until it becomes automatic.It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake,you know that you have made progress!1. What does the underlined part “odd-man-out” probably mean according to the passage?A. Someone or something that can be easily mistaken for another.B. Someone or something appearing different from the others.C. Someone or something standing out of the group.D. Someone or something arranged in pairs.2. In which places can you learn English NOT free of charge?A. At school, in shops and café bars.B. In conversation clubs and in the streets.C. In conversation clubs,shops,songs and video.D. At school, in conversation clubs and café and bars.3. Why does the writer say “Make as many mistakes as possible”?A. Because everyone will make mistakes in learning English.B. Because making mistakes is a must in making progress in learning English.C. Because everyone will meet people speaking English with some mistakes.D. Because making mistakes can make one realize the importance of speaking.4. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us that English is all around us.B. To tell us that we can speak English alone.C. To give us some advice on how to practice speaking.D. To tell us speaking is the easiest of the four skills in learning English.BThe Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure.We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes on and on.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, — well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure (血压) in a young group: teenagers.The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.The lead researcher is Andre a Cassidy Bushrow. She said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin us.” Ms. Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smart phones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.5. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station.” mean in paragraph 2?A. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.B. The train has stopped at the wrong station.C. There is something wrong with the station.D. The train has changed its course.6. What can we learn from Para. 3 and Para.4 ?A. There is no relation between high blood pressure and Internet use.B. There are more advantages than disadvantages of Internet use.C. Heavy Internet users will probably have high blood pressure.D. There is no harm of high blood pressure.7. Andrea Cassidy Bushrow would agree that ________.A. tee nagers shouldn’t use the InternetB. the Internet will ruin human life in the futureC. smart phones are more harmful than computersD. regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet8. What can be used as the best title of the passage?A. Most teenagers have high blood pressure.B. How to prevent teenagers from the Internet.C. Every coin has two sides - so does the Internet.D. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.CIf you go to Juliano’s restaurant in San Francisco, you can’t get a cup of coffee or a hot cheese sandwich. All the food in the restaurant is raw, including the pizza and the rice.Juliano thinks that cooked food makes us sick. “Food is alive, like you and me. When you cook food, you take away some of the vitamins,” he says. Juliano never eats food that is over 50 degrees. His restaurant doesn’t have a stove(火炉)or a microwave (微波炉). But he has lots of clever ideas for making raw food taste great. Instead of heat, Juliano uses water to prepare food. He puts foods in water to make them soft. For example, he places beans in water for a few days and rice in water for two to four weeks.Everything at the restaurant is cold,and the pizza and the rice taste good. So do the fruit and vegetable juices made from carrots, apples, oranges and so on. Juliano’s restaurant doesn’t serve meat, but some people who eat raw food also eat raw meat. Juliano has three friends who ate raw meat. They all got very sick. One of them is still sick.Juliano eats mostly fruits, vegetables, nuts, rice and beans. He says he feels very healthy. “Raw food gives you lots of energy,” he says. Juliano says he needs only six hours of sleep a night, and he never gets sick.9. .How is the food in Juliano’s restaurant prepared?A. Foods are heated on a stove to a certain degree.B. Foods are cooled in a fridge.C. Foods are put into water to make them soft.D. Foods are boiled and then cooled.10.What is NOT served in Juliano’s restaurant?A. Carrot juice.B. Cold pizza.C. Hot meat.D. Raw rice.11. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Eating raw meat may make people sick.B. People will like eating raw food in the future.C. Juliano has not enough money to buy cooking equipment.D. Restaurants like Juliano’s are very popular in America.12. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A special restaurant in San Francisco.B. A man who eats only raw food.C. Raw food is better than cooked food.D. How to make raw food taste good.DPeople who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations, cultures, customs and ideas.Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)---not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.13. According to the passage, in the past most people travelled________.A. for funB. for knowledgeC. to get experiencesD. to make a living14. How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.15. In the writer's opinion, travelling can be________.A. expensiveB. funnyC. helpfulD. tiring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。

AWays to Improve V ocabulary in Just One DayThe average American has a vocabulary in the thousands. Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up.①Watch movies“If you see the movie version of your favorite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University . “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.”②Read magazinesIf you want to improve vocabulary, don’t just flip through your favorite magazine, really read it.③Listen to how words soundMany people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious(有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman.④Join a book club“Book clubs are a wonderful strategy(策略) to learn new words,” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, it’s also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.⑤Listen to the radioThose types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don’t miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don’t know.⑥Pay attention to your surroundingsNext time you walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you’re seeingas much as possible inside your head.⑦Read, read, readEven if you don’t stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out(想出) their meaning based on the context21. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing?A. 0.B. 1.C. 2.D. 3.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

AA woman brought a very limp-looking duck to see a vet. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope(听诊器) and listened to the bird’s chest.After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”The woman was so disappointed and asked, “Are you sure?” “Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet.“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma(昏迷) or something.”The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black dog. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his back legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed(嗅) the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.A few minutes later, he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also carefully sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back down, shook his head meowed softly and went out of the room.The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”The vet turned to his computer, pressed a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “150 dollars!” she shouted. “150 dollars just to tell me my duck is dead!”The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been20 dollars, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now 150 dollars.”21. Why did the vet take a dog and a cat into the examination room?A. To confirm (确认) the duck was dead.B. To give to the woman as pets.C. To comfort the woman.D. To ask them to save the duck’s life.22. How was the woman likely to feel after being told the reason why the bill was 150 dollars?A. Awkward.B. AngryC. Sad.D. Delighted.23. The passage is a(n) ________.A. novelB. joke.C. advertisementD. reviewBWhen I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.” John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical(不满的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go along way!24. According to Paragraph 1, what does the author seem to think more about?A. John’s PE marksB. John’s self-confidenceC. John’s interest in sportsD. John’s state of health25. Why did John take part in the track team?A. He had been an excellent runner.B. He was encouraged by his teacher.C. He liked running more than tennis.D. He had no tennis coach to train him.26. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. to build a close teacher-student relationshipB. to introduce a new way of sports trainingC. to explain the value of sports and gamesD. to show the importance of encouragement27. Who is the passage mainly written for?A. teachersB. ParentsC. studentsD. playersCAnimals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.Can you see the rabbits’ tail? When rabbits see this white tail moving up and down, they run too. The rabbit has reminded them of potential dangers without making a sound. It has given them a signal.Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its hood(兜帽) and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.Some animals say things by making sound. A dog barks, for example, when a strangercomes near. A cat purrs(猫的呜呜声) when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah!” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.But we have something that no animals have-a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? _____.A. Animals do have a language like that of human beingsB. Bees communicate with each other by dancingC. Some animals can use wordsD. A dog barks to show its friendliness29. A rabbit uses its tail to _____.A. warn other rabbits of dangerB. tell other rabbits where food isC. make itself look fierceD. help it to run fast30. What is this passage mainly about? _____.A. Human’s language is more wonderful than animals’ languageB. People should pay attention to animals’ body language and soundsC. Animals have their own ways to communicate with each otherD. Animals are smarter than we think31. Several different sounds can be made by a _____.A. rabbitB. beeC. birdD. catDI was an introvert (内向的人) by nature. For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. The key to a sincere smile however, is simple. It’s to be excited. But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, instead of being excited, I often felt upset.But we all know friends are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, whether it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel comfortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers(收银员) or waiters. I’m talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a trick. And I call this technique(技巧) “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were still kids. It’s no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly in return. You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually backs this claim. So do remember to give it a try.Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was nothing. Tired of my life, I set about making dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My success reflects(显示) that nothing is too difficult if you try bravely.32. What do we know from Mother Teresa’s words in Paragraph 2?A. We can’t live without the help of our friends.B. A smile is important to make others feel comfortable.C. Many people don’t know the importance of a smile.D. People who always smile are sure to have many friends.33. Which of the following sayings can we infer from the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Every road leads to Rome.C. A good beginning is half success.D. Try and try, never say die.34. The author writes this passage mainly to ________.A. tell us how to make friendsB. tell us how he achieves successC. encourage us to perfect our smileD. describe what a sincere smile is35. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the author ________.A. found it difficult to show a sincere smile to peopleB. felt excited but nervous when meeting peopleC. became an introvert because of his surroundingsD. didn’t want to smile at others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。
