阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、 C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
I’ve been living in the United States for over a decade, and I now say thank you
C. The words
about 50 times a day. Often I do it without thinking. I say thank you to the cashier at the coffee shop. I say thank you to my wife and my 5-year-old daughter several times a day for various things. When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know I was supposed to thank someone who took my money for something I bought at a store. I had no idea I was supposed to thank people when they asked how I was doing.
I grew up in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, in a culture in which saying thank you is not done lightly. I learned to say thank you in English in elementary school, and when I thanked anyone, I said it in English, which was less embarrassing and more casualthan doing so in Hindi. I reserved my thanks for those who had done huge favors for me. And I rarely thanked my friends or classmates. When I did, they either smiled quizzically at me or regarded the act as a playful way to practise English.
Saying dhanyavaad, or thank you in Hindi, to someone without looking at him or her is just as good as not saying it at all. As a kid, I heard my father say dhanyavaad to people of his age, and he did it as sincerely as possible, with his hands joined in front of his chest. He wasn’t just thanking someone for something, but asking for an opportunity to return the favor.
Now, when I travel to India, I often offend people by saying thank you to them. On a recent trip home, I was invited to my uncle’s house for dinner. He’s been a father figure to me, teaching me many things at every step of my life. That day, I made the mistake of telling him, in English, “Thank you for inviting me” before leaving his house. He didn’t respond, but I saw his expression turn sour. I couldn’t even apologize for thanking him. The damage was done.
21. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author ______. A. thinks Americans are too polite
B. appreciates the American culture
C. is used to the American thank-you culture D. is popular with Americans for his politeness
22. When he was a child, the author ______. A. felt it embarrassing to say thank you manner
B. tended to say thank you in a casual
C. often practiced English by saying thank you D. thanked his friends in English for their kindness
23. The underlined word “quizzically” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______. A. happily
B. warmly
C. coldly
D. amusedly
24. According to the text, when saying dhanyavaad in Hindi, one ______. A. should speak it in a gentle and sincere voice B. must put his hands in front of his chest C. is supposed to look at the person
D. had better wear a big smile on his face
B

Dirty Britain
Before the grass has thickened on the roadside and leaves have started growing on the trees, it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. There is much chewing gum that has been spat out on the sidewalks and quantities of throwaway fast food packages in the river. I still remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and deserted bottles at the edge of every road, years ago. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?
The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the bushes for years—a semi-permanent reminder of what a dirty little country we have now.
Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.
What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue going downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping
D. Consult the telephone book for
B. Check whether certain
point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by dirt, they behave dirtily. Now, much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?
29. According to the writer, the problem is that ______.
A. rubbish can not be cleared upB. rubbish lasts longer than it used to C. our society is increasingly mobile D. people in Britain are awful 30. What can be learned about Michael Meacher?
A. He managed to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags. B. He was bothered by the Irish government.
C. His attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags was welcomed. D. He failed in his attempt to introduce a tax on plastic bags. 31. What does the writer state in the last paragraph? A. It’s too late for people to take immediate action. B. Going downhill is a good choice for people.
C. Britain will become an extremely dirty country in five years. D. People tend to behave according to what they see around them.
D
Hummingbird (蜂鸟) nests often appear in clusters, but for years researchers couldn’t figure out what attracted the birds to certain areas. The answer turned out to be “good neighbors.”
Biologist Harold Greeney was doing fieldwork in Arizona in 2007 when he and his team realized that breeding hummingbirds often appeared around hawk (鹰) nests. By 2009, Greeney and company were able to report that the hummingbirds nesting close to hawks were actually more successful at raising chicks. Now in a study published recently, they are explaining exactly why that seems to be the case.
Hawks don’t feed on hummingbirds or their nests—there’s not enough meal in a hummer to be worth the effort, apparently. But not only are hawks not a threat—it seems that they may actually protect hummingbirds from their natural enemy, Mexican jays (松
鸦).
We know that timid species often hang out near more aggressive species for protection. Sometimes they’re trying to avoid one predator (捕食者) in particular. Geese, for example, sometimes nest near Snowy Owls because the owls eat the foxes that would otherwise eat the geese. But it’s often tricky to figure out which predator acts as the “middleman” in such a situation—who, exactly, is hiding from whom ? So the researchers looked at several hummingbird predators, including squirrels, snakes, and chipmunks, before setting on Mexican Jays as the likeliest suspect.
In their further research into hummingbird and hawk nests with the locations where jays were searching for food, they expected to see “a big circle around the hawk where the jays just never went,” said Greeney. Instead they discovered that while jays do search close to hawk nests, they do so at higher altitudes than normal, staying above hawk that typically hunt from above and then suddenly come down on their target. Greeney found that hummingbirds build the nests under the hawks’, in a“cone-shaped(圆锥形) space where jays never go, right around the hawks.”
Hummingbirds’strategy seems to work. And their nesting success depended not just on closeness to hawk nests but also on whether the nest was within the jay-free cone Greeney and his researchers were able to define.
“Not only for the first time did we figure out who the middleman was , but we also found the exact spacial relationship of how this was working,” said Greeney. “It’s a pretty extraordinary result and very interesting,” says University of British Columbia hummingbird researcher Douglas Altshuler. On the hummingbird side, Altshuler says, “the strategy is that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” 32. Why do hummingbirds nest close to hawks ?
A. To trick jays. B. To protect their young. C. To guide hawks. D. To get food easily.
33. What does the underlined word “middleman ”in paragraph 4 probably refer to ? A. Jays. B. Hawks. C. Foxes. D. Hummingbird. 34. What can be learnt from Greeney’s recent research?
A. Hummingbirds never search close to hawk nests.
B. Jays get close to hawk nests only at higher altitudes. C. Hawks are attracting jays by living near hummingbirds.
D. It’s safe for hummingbirds to stay in the big circle around the hawk nests. 35. The main purpose of the text is to ______.
A. compare and evaluate B. examine and assess C. argue and discussD. inform and explain 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）

Making Music is theKey to a Happy Retirement
Researchers found that the old people who learned to play instruments or joined choirs enjoyed themselves more than those whotook up painting, or yoga, or who joined book groups. 36One woman who took up music after her husband died said it had proved an invaluable support, adding, “Singing is always uplifting and it is difficult to be sad while playing the guitar.”
It comes after a Finnish study found that music treatment can help people overcome depression. 37 Prof Sue Hallam, who led the new research, said, “Our research is significant for these reasons but also because of the extraordinary demography (人口统计学) change that are under way in the UK.” For the first time ever, Britain’s over-65s now outnumber those under the age of 16. There is therefore a need for ways that support older people’s happiness, particularly as the number of people in this age group suffering from depression is too high. 38”
In the year-long study, researchers questioned 500 people aged between 50 and 93 who were taking part in leisure activities organized by The Sage Gateshead, Westminster Adult Education Service and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Of these, almost 400 were learning to play musical instruments ranging from drums to the guitar, singing in groups or taking music appreciation classes. The remaining 100 were either attending art classes, learning languages, reading for book groups or taking part in yoga lessons. 39Meanwhile they got more enjoyment from their activities than those in the less creative
activities. They also felt it helped keep them mentally active, improving concentration and memory．
Prof Hallam added, “40When they were performing for others they also felt that they were giving something back to the community. They were extremely focused too, partly because music requires total concentration but also because they didn’t want to let down the other people in their music group.”
A. The “music-makers” were found to have more positive relationships with other people and a brighter outlook.
B. Our research suggests that music-making can often help in this respect.
C. The findings could be significant as Britain’s population ages and rates of depression rise.
D.However, this did not work with some old people unwilling to try their hands at music. E. The people we interviewed had a real sense of achievement because they could hear that they were getting better.
F. They also had a more positive outlook, felt more in control of their lives and said the activity helped keep their minds sharp.
G. A recent study has confirmed that making music is the key to a happy life, particularly among the retired.

There are two main reasons 71 the temperature of the air is always 72
(change). One reason is 73 the air around you moves in from somewhere else. Air often moves in large bodies 74 (call) air masses. Some air masses, with cold air that causes the temperature 75 (drop), move in from the north. Air masses also move in from the south. They 76 (usual) have warmer air that makes the temperature rise.
Temperature changes during the day or night can be great 77 small. This depends partly on how many clouds there are in the sky. When there are many clouds during the night, they act 78 covers on your bed. They blanket the earth and keep the air from losing much of 79 (it) heat. The temperature might not drop much during such a night. When there are many clouds during 80 day, some of the sun’s energy
will not reach the earth. The temperature does not rise much on such a day in this case. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）

Union is strength. Whenever we’re face with difficulties or in a dilemma, cooperation plays an important part in gettingus out of trouble. There was a time when I was too proud that I overlooked my classmate, refusing to work together with them. Therefore, it was no doubt that I was left alone, suffering from loneliness and failure. Fortunately, a teacher impressed on me the value of cooperation. From then on, Ilearned to help others and turn to my friends for the help whenever I had difficulty finish a task on my own. Surely cooperation made a great difference. Now I am getting well with my friends. My experience has teach me that only if we attach great importance withcooperation can we go beyond ourselves. As the saying go “United we stand, divided
we fall”.

Good morning, everyone!
Welcome to our Reading Activity. It is a great honor for me to be here to introduce our activity, the topic of which is “I love Chinese Classical Poetry”. The activity is aimed at motivating us students to learn Chinese as well as passing on Chinese culture.
Why I love Chinese poetry is that it has a certain rhyme and is written in simple language, making it easy to learn and recite. Besides, it usually conveys the writers’ true attitudes towards family, friends or the country, which can arouse our emotion.
In my opinion, classical poetry, which is a treasure of Chinese culture, helps improve our writing skills and deepen our understanding of our culture. I hope the activity will be a great success and everyone can learn much from it.
That’s all. Thank you.
