A
Living abroad requires a small adjustment and balancing of cultures.Moving from Scotland to Austria，the differences aren't so great，perhaps，as moving to Asia or Africa.But things are still different enough to be unsettling (使人不安的)．
One of the first differences I noticed was the opening hours of shops here.During the week，supermarkets close at 7：30 p．m.，at the latest.On Sundays，they aren't open at all.On my first weekend here，I wasn't at all prepared for this.I planned to go into town to pick up things I'd forgotten to bring.I wanted to get some groceries，too，after a few days of eating out.A friend had warned me that nothing was open on Sundays，but I didn't realize she was serious.So，I wandered around town，coming across shop after shop with doors closed.
I ate out again that Sunday，and I learned my lesson.To begin with，I thought it was highly inconvenient.What if I ran out of milk in the evening，or wanted to buy biscuits before bed？In the UK，I was so used to large supermarkets，which stayed open until at least 10 p．m.，if not for twenty four hours.But now，I have to buy food every Saturday.“What do people do here on Sundays？” I asked my flatmate.She just looked at me.“Nothing，” she replied.
If it's inconvenient，then there's also something nice about it.Who needs to be able to buy soup or soap or bread twenty four hours a day？No one really needs to of course.But it's nice，too，to have Sundays completely free from material worries.Sundays here are all about relaxing for hours in coffee shops and spending time with friends.Sunday is a day of rest.
People in the UK often complain，“I thought Sundays were meant to be a day of rest！”，while rushing to work，doing chores(家庭杂务) or standing in queues in shops.Well，here in Austria，it really is a day of rest.It's different，but it's a difference I can definitely get used to.
1．Where does the writer probably come from
A．Britain.　 　 B．Austria.
C．Asia. D．Africa.
2．How did the writer feel when he was told shops didn't open on Sundays

3．What do Austrians usually do on Sundays
A．Do some shopping.
B．Eat out with families.
C．Work hard at home.
D．Do nothing but rest.
B
Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”—and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer，especially in August and September.As one travels the countryside，you'll find more of its treasures：so many plants and animals，romantic castles，secret gardens，and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell.
Must sees include Derbyshire，called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park.The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre，you can visit North Lees hall，where the real Eyre family once lived)．
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson)．It is also known for its cathedral，the charming tea shops，a small castle.One would never guess its violent past—built by the Romans，it was once a center for arrow (箭) making.
Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick，which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.
Let's not leave out the Wessex region，where one can see one of England's greatest mysteries，Stone Henge.You can also go to the City of Bath，which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times.Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral，the landscaped gardens of Stourhead，and the cobbled (用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury.This is also home to Oxford，one of the world's most famous universities.
Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia，whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village)．This is also home of the University City of Cambridge，and the famous architectural attraction，King's College Chapel.Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.
4．The text is most probably taken from ．
A．a travel guide B．a book review
C．a history paper D．a newspaper report

Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life.You don't need statistics to understand the Dane's happy lot.Walk around any Danish town and you'll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere.Their intimate scales and perfect transport systems combine the rich history and bold modern lines of the built environment to delight the eye，and the locals' manners and sense of humor is refreshing.
Denmark's capital Copenhagen is a remarkable city with well preserved medieval streets，renowned art galleries，Michelin starred restaurants and a healthy business center.Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails，just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
Beyond the capital and the bigger cities，Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside，medieval churches，Renaissance castles and tidy 18th century villages.
The coastline of Denmark with its sand dunes and greenery is a sight that always attracts visitors.So，no matter what time of year you're in Denmark，you shouldn't miss out on a trip to the nearest beach.
It's hard，in short，to find fault with the place.The visitor's most heartfelt complaint is usually the cost of visiting Denmark.True，it is not a cheap destination，but no more so than the UK，and which nation's public transport system would you rather use？Cheer yourself up by thinking of the country's remarkable organization and clockwork railway timetable as being financed by the extremely high taxes paid by your hosts.When viewed in this way，this first rate destination seems like good value，and you get the fairy tales thrown in for free：the Danish royal family is genuinely loved and respected by the vast majority of its citizens，not least handsome Prince Frederik，his beautiful Australian born princess bride，Mary，and their young family.
8．The writer implies in the last two paragraphs that ．
A．visiting the UK will cost less than travelling in Denmark
B．the transport system in the UK can't equal that in Denmark
C．people in Denmark pay high taxes to welcome visitors
D．the Danish royal family plays an important role in politics
9．How does the passage mainly develop
A．By providing examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving descriptions.
D．By following time order.
10．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage
A．To introduce Danish culture.
B．To show the attractions of Denmark.
C．To share experiences of travelling in Denmark.
D．To describe the happy life people live in Denmark.
11．Which of the following words can best describe Danes
A．Polite and humorous.
B．Happy and romantic.
C．Kind and friendly.
D．Outgoing and humorous.
D
When I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.
Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.
Determined to do this on my own，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job.However，I received little or no response.This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities.People there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said，approached me and asked if I would wait outside.Fifteen minutes later，he returned.He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident.He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.
I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along.Along the way，I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历)．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies.He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything.I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied.The following day，I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it.And this time，it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you're lucky enough to travel or live abroad，in order to get the most out of your stay it's necessary to mix with the locals. 1 Having lived abroad several times，I've put together a list of tips based on my own experiences to help you make friends in a foreign country.
Say yes to everything (within reason)．Obviously，if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in any way，don't feel forced to agree to do anything.However，don't put off trying anything new or going to anywhere you've never been before.
2 Join a dance class，a walking club，a photography class，a gym，or learn to cook the local cuisine—the possibilities really are endless!
Another option is to attend language exchanges or find a friend to practise with. 3
Don't be a wallflower.When you are miles away from home，surrounded by people speaking an unfamiliar language and immersed (浸没于) in a foreign culture，it may feel very difficult to be confident and involve yourself in conversations，especially with large groups of people. 4 If big groups are frightening，start conversations with individual people in order to get to know them better.More likely than not，you will find that everyone wants to know everything about you. 5
A．Get out of the house!
B．So take advantage of being a novelty.
C．Find a hobby or try something entirely new.
D．Make the most of the new and exciting place you live in.
E．However，try to continue and make your voice heard.
F．This allows you to find out more about the local culture and way of life.
G．This allows you to meet a lot of people who are also looking to make friends.

第二节 概要写作（25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world.For example，cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories.Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Furthermore，wherever we go today，we can find rubbish carelessly disposed(处理)．
There are different kinds of pollutants，each of which comes from different sources.It is necessary to identify the source of pollution，in order to make a policy to get rid of them.Different products，processes and activities of our industrialized world together form the major source of pollution.
The forms of pollution can be mainly divided into three kinds—solids，liquid and gas.These pollutants have greatly damaged our planet and continue to do so.In fact，pollution is threatening our existence.The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing.Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even posed a great threat to man's existence.
We must face the situation that exists and take action to solve our environmental problems.For instance，new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution；the public must receive the education about the danger of pollution and raise their awareness of protecting the environment and so on.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and our later generations.Fortunately，more and more people have realized these problems.Measures have been taken to deal with these situations by the government.And laws have been passed to stop pollution，I hope the problems will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.

Dear editor，
I'm writing to tell you my opinion on Chinese students going abroad for further studies at an early age.
The education in China and that in foreign countries have both advantages and disadvantages.The most important thing for us Chinese students to do at present is to know our country，people and culture well.Besides，going to study in foreign countries at too early an age not only costs a lot of money，it could also bring serious problems.Taking care of themselves is one of them.
In my opinion，as primary or middle school students，we should devote our time to studying harder in our own country and improving ourselves，when the chance to study abroad arrives，we'll grasp it.
Yours，
Li Hua
