A
When in Rome,do as the Romans do.Here are some British etiquette(礼仪) and customs international students ought to know.
Visiting
In most houses in Britain,the doors are usually kept closed.It is customary to visit people at a pre-arranged time and day.Usually,people are not comfortable if you just drop in.Nevertheless,if someone says to drop in at any time,feel free to do so as long as it is not in the middle of the night.When you go into someone’s house,do take your hat off (men only).It is impolite for men to wear hats indoors especially in churches.
Greeting
In Britain,the handshake is a common form of greeting.When you meet people for the first time,it is normal to shake hands.A firm handshake is the standard;there are no issues over gender(性别) in Britain.The usual formal greeting is “How do you do ” and a firm handshake,but with a lighter touch between men and women.In Britain,unlike some other European countries,it is unusual to embrace or kiss the other person (unless they are family or a very close friend).
Gifts
During birthday and Christmas celebrations,it is common for the British to exchange gifts between family members and close friends.The gift doesn’t need to be expensive,but it should usually show an attempt to find something that is related to the recipient’s (接受者) interests.When invited to someone’s home,it is normal to take along a box of good chocolates,a bottle of good wine or a bunch of beautiful flowers.Note that gifts are opened when received.
Punctuality
The British are generally punctual(守时的),especially the Scots.The British consider it impolite if you turn up late for an appointment.In most cases,the people you are meeting will be on time,call even if you will be 5 minutes later than you’ve promised.If you have been late or fail to keep your appointment,make an effort to contact the person to let them know.It is a good idea to telephone and offer your apologies.
1.What do the British men usually do when they meet for the first time
A.Embrace or kiss each other.
B.Shake hands firmly.
C.Bring an expensive gift.
D.Take off their hats immediately.
2.What present may the author recommend you if you attend a birthday party in Britain
A.A book the receiver is interested in.

The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd.When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949,I was a nine-year-old war refugee(难民),who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know.My mother,Eleni Gatzoyiannis,had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High.Shortly after I arrived,I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours”.The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears,but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class.She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd,the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes,Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones.She drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and discuss,and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper.Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland,making me proud of my origins.Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language.Owing to her inspiration,during my next twenty-five years,I became a journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62.By then,she had taught for a total of 41 years.Even after her retirement,she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential.The students were mainly from the most troubled homes,yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love,until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing.But for Miss Hurd,I wouldn’t have become a reporter.She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
4.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A.Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.

B.Being exposed to Greek literary works.
C.Her mother’s miserable death.
D.Following the prettiest girl in his class.
6.What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A.Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.
B.Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation.
C.Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style.
D.The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired.
7.What is the text mainly about
A.How the author became a journalist.
B.The importance of inspiration in one’s life.
C.The teacher who shaped the author’s life.
D.Factors contributing to a successful career.
C
It’s no secret that Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand) is a diverse city full of different cultures and new research has shown exactly how it and the rest of the country are changing.
More than 200 ethnic (民族的) groups are recorded as living here and Auckland is considered to have a wider variety of cultural groups than London or Sydney,with 40 percent of its population made up of different ethnicities.
The changing make-up of the country’s population is featured in the latest NZ Geographic magazine,which focuses on ethnic diversity,age,wealth and attitudes,drawn from the latest census (人口普查) figures.
Massey University social sciences research director Professor Paul Spoonley said Auckland’s multiculturalism today is way beyond what experts believed likely a few years ago.
Asian communities,in particular,in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001,when 6.6 percent of the Kiwi people (New Zealanders) were Asian.The proportion (比例) in Auckland was 14.6 percent.By 2006,18.9 percent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 percent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally,the census showed 11.8 percent of the population was Asian-and that figure was increasing.
“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back,” Mr.Spoonley said.“And the healthcare system is attracting Asian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant communities and particularly of Asian peoples.That had been a hugely noticeable change,Mr.Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader Kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to New Zealand and particularly to Auckland.“The environment is clean,there’s fresh air and there’s safety of food...There’s a good education system here in New Zealand...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other countries,such as America,Canada and Australia.
8.What change has taken place in Auckland
A.It has been developing at a higher speed.
B.It has started to control its population.
C.It has begun to value ethnic cultures.
D.It has become a more diverse city.
9.What is the proportion of Asians in Auckland now
A.About one-tenth.
B.Below one-fifth.
C.Nearly one-fourth.
D.More than two-fifths.
10.Why do many Asians migrate to New Zealand according to Spoonley
A.They need a better education.
B.They want to live in a safe place.
C.They love the clean environment.
D.They hope to get better healthcare.
11.What do most New Zealanders think of Asian migrants
A.They are part of the society.
B.They are a small ethnic group.
C.They are very likely to change.
D.They are a threat to the country.
D
As computers become more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students.Almost all their assignments(作业) and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen,I find I often can’t remember how to write a character,though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about.Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite
Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei,headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.Through one’s handwriting,people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的),and in universities some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
12.What does the underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Getting bored with.
B.Getting dependent on.
C.Becoming crazy about.
D.Getting curious about.
13.Why do the students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly
A.Because they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently.
B.Because they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays.
C.Because they find it not easy to remember how to write a character.
D.Because computers have become a trend and fashion in China.
14.Which of the following statements is NOT true of the advantages of handwriting
A.Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.
B.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
C.Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.
D.The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A.To Type or to Handwrite
B.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
C.Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

Children’s Games in Ancient China
Unlike the current children,the children during ancient times didn’t have smartphones,iPads or computers to entertain themselves. 16 .Let’s take a look.
Kicking stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to keep warm.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays,the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 17 .For example,the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.
Playing hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.Even nowadays,many children like playing it.There are two ways to play.One way is covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease him. 18 .
19
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play.Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen,narrating stories and accompanied by music.
Setting off firecrackers
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years.It is said that there was a beast named Nian in ancient China. 20 .After gunpowder was invented,it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker.Crackers are still set off during the Spring Festival to symbolize auspiciousness(吉祥).
A.Watching shadow plays
B.Making a film
C.Each of them has distinctive features
D.Different materials are used to make the kite
E.And to scare off the beast,people burnt bamboo joints to make them blast

A wealthy master once owned a large farm with a big house,where he employed two servants to work in the fields.
One servant was very loyal to his master.He placed the command of his master in his heart and obeyed it while the other servant only heard the words of his master,but went on his own way.
The first servant,who loved his master more than himself,worked really hard.Every day he planted seeds under the sun.Though sometimes he felt so tired,he never quit;he just took a rest and thought of his master coming back.There were also times when he got hurt because of stones,insects and other harmful objects but still he never gave up;he continued doing what his master had commanded.He knew that someday all his hard work would pay off and that his master would be satisfied with him.But the other servant,who loved himself more than his master,enjoyed the pleasure of the world.He thought that his master would never know what he was doing.He used his freedom for his own sake.He just ignored his master’s command and followed his own will.
Many years passed,but still the master did not come back.The first servant went on working hard in the fields for a good harvest year after year while the other servant wandered around the world.
One day their master appeared suddenly and was pleased when he found one servant harvesting the crops in the fields.Of course,he was disappointed when he couldn’t find the other one.
The master called the two servants and explained why he had been away for such a long time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The master said that he built a large beautiful house in town.
The master treated the two servants fairly.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己小时候由于跑得快撞到树上,没有哭泣而是继续前进的故事,告诉我们遇到困难不要害怕,要继续前进,通过不懈努力目标最终会实现。
21.C 此处指的是下文提到的“hit a large maple tree”的故事。因此C项正确。

38.to create 考查非谓语动词。熟练的工人也会把各种各样的硬木和金属组合起来以创作独特的设计。根据句意可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语。
39.using 考查非谓语动词。use与其逻辑主语people之间是主谓关系,故此处用现在分词作状语。

第三部分 写作
第一节
It is evident that there existed many traditional Chinese cultures,few of which have survived into the present.As a result,China is sparing no efforts to protect traditional cultures,which is highly thought of.There is no doubt that the protection of traditional cultures is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity.
In my opinion,some measures are worth taking to protect traditional cultures efficiently.In addition,we should raise people’s awareness of culture protection.
In conclusion,it is rewarding to treasure and develop our valuable culture.
第二节
The master said that he built a large beautiful house in town.It was designed as payment for the service they had been offering,and the one who had been loyal to him would stay with him,living in a new house.So he asked the two servants whether they had a good harvest this year.The first servant happily said that he produced a good harvest every year while the other servant bowed down and apologized to his master regretfully as he had done nothing for his master.
The master treated the two servants fairly.He not only rewarded the first servant with a lot of money but also allowed him to continue working on his land.In contrast,the other servant got nothing and was finally fired.The lesson we learn from this story is simple:if we are always loyal to others,we will be rewarded instead of being punished.

A
When in Rome,do as the Romans do.Here are some British etiquette(礼仪) and customs international students ought to know.
Visiting
In most houses in Britain,the doors are usually kept closed.It is customary to visit people at a pre-arranged time and day.Usually,people are not comfortable if you just drop in.Nevertheless,if someone says to drop in at any time,feel free to do so as long as it is not in the middle of the night.When you go into someone’s house,do take your hat off (men only).It is impolite for men to wear hats indoors especially in churches.
Greeting
In Britain,the handshake is a common form of greeting.When you meet people for the first time,it is normal to shake hands.A firm handshake is the standard;there are no issues over gender(性别) in Britain.The usual formal greeting is “How do you do ” and a firm handshake,but with a lighter touch between men and women.In Britain,unlike some other European countries,it is unusual to embrace or kiss the other person (unless they are family or a very close friend).
Gifts
During birthday and Christmas celebrations,it is common for the British to exchange gifts between family members and close friends.The gift doesn’t need to be expensive,but it should usually show an attempt to find something that is related to the recipient’s (接受者) interests.When invited to someone’s home,it is normal to take along a box of good chocolates,a bottle of good wine or a bunch of beautiful flowers.Note that gifts are opened when received.
Punctuality
The British are generally punctual(守时的),especially the Scots.The British consider it impolite if you turn up late for an appointment.In most cases,the people you are meeting will be on time,call even if you will be 5 minutes later than you’ve promised.If you have been late or fail to keep your appointment,make an effort to contact the person to let them know.It is a good idea to telephone and offer your apologies.
1.What do the British men usually do when they meet for the first time
A.Embrace or kiss each other.
B.Shake hands firmly.
C.Bring an expensive gift.
D.Take off their hats immediately.
2.What present may the author recommend you if you attend a birthday party in Britain

The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd.When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949,I was a nine-year-old war refugee(难民),who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know.My mother,Eleni Gatzoyiannis,had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High.Shortly after I arrived,I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours”.The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears,but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class.She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd,the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes,Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones.She drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and discuss,and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper.Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland,making me proud of my origins.Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language.Owing to her inspiration,during my next twenty-five years,I became a journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62.By then,she had taught for a total of 41 years.Even after her retirement,she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential.The students were mainly from the most troubled homes,yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love,until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing.But for Miss Hurd,I wouldn’t have become a reporter.She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
4.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A.Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.
B.The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.

A.Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.
B.Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation.
C.Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style.
D.The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired.

It’s no secret that Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand) is a diverse city full of different cultures and new research has shown exactly how it and the rest of the country are changing.
More than 200 ethnic (民族的) groups are recorded as living here and Auckland is considered to have a wider variety of cultural groups than London or Sydney,with 40 percent of its population made up of different ethnicities.
The changing make-up of the country’s population is featured in the latest NZ Geographic magazine,which focuses on ethnic diversity,age,wealth and attitudes,drawn from the latest census (人口普查) figures.
Massey University social sciences research director Professor Paul Spoonley said Auckland’s multiculturalism today is way beyond what experts believed likely a few years ago.
Asian communities,in particular,in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001,when 6.6 percent of the Kiwi people (New Zealanders) were Asian.The proportion (比例) in Auckland was 14.6 percent.By 2006,18.9 percent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 percent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally,the census showed 11.8 percent of the population was Asian-and that figure was increasing.
“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back,” Mr.Spoonley said.“And the healthcare system is attracting Asian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant communities and particularly of Asian peoples.That had been a hugely noticeable change,Mr.Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader Kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to New Zealand and particularly to Auckland.“The environment is clean,there’s fresh air and there’s safety of food...There’s a good education system here in New Zealand...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other countries,such as America,Canada and Australia.
8.What change has taken place in Auckland
A.It has been developing at a higher speed.
B.It has started to control its population.
C.It has begun to value ethnic cultures.
D.It has become a more diverse city.
9.What is the proportion of Asians in Auckland now
A.About one-tenth.
B.Below one-fifth.
C.Nearly one-fourth.
D.More than two-fifths.
10.Why do many Asians migrate to New Zealand according to Spoonley
A.They need a better education.
B.They want to live in a safe place.
C.They love the clean environment.
D.They hope to get better healthcare.
11.What do most New Zealanders think of Asian migrants
A.They are part of the society.
B.They are a small ethnic group.
C.They are very likely to change.
D.They are a threat to the country.
D
As computers become more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students.Almost all their assignments(作业) and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen,I find I often can’t remember how to write a character,though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about.Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite
Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei,headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion.Through one’s handwriting,people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的),and in universities some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
12.What does the underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Getting bored with.
B.Getting dependent on.
C.Becoming crazy about.
D.Getting curious about.
13.Why do the students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly
A.Because they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently.
B.Because they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays.
C.Because they find it not easy to remember how to write a character.
D.Because computers have become a trend and fashion in China.
14.Which of the following statements is NOT true of the advantages of handwriting
A.Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.
B.Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
C.Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.
D.The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A.To Type or to Handwrite
B.The Importance of Handwriting and Typing
C.Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D.Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

Children’s Games in Ancient China
Unlike the current children,the children during ancient times didn’t have smartphones,iPads or computers to entertain themselves. 16 .Let’s take a look.
Kicking stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to keep warm.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays,the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 17 .For example,the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.
Playing hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.Even nowadays,many children like playing it.There are two ways to play.One way is covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease him. 18 .
19
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play.Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen,narrating stories and accompanied by music.
Setting off firecrackers
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years.It is said that there was a beast named Nian in ancient China. 20 .After gunpowder was invented,it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker.Crackers are still set off during the Spring Festival to symbolize auspiciousness(吉祥).

A wealthy master once owned a large farm with a big house,where he employed two servants to work in the fields.
One servant was very loyal to his master.He placed the command of his master in his heart and obeyed it while the other servant only heard the words of his master,but went on his own way.
The first servant,who loved his master more than himself,worked really hard.Every day he planted seeds under the sun.Though sometimes he felt so tired,he never quit;he just took a rest and thought of his master coming back.There were also times when he got hurt because of stones,insects and other harmful objects but still he never gave up;he continued doing what his master had commanded.He knew that someday all his hard work would pay off and that his master would be satisfied with him.But the other servant,who loved himself more than his master,enjoyed the pleasure of the world.He thought that his master would never know what he was doing.He used his freedom for his own sake.He just ignored his master’s command and followed his own will.
Many years passed,but still the master did not come back.The first servant went on working hard in the fields for a good harvest year after year while the other servant wandered around the world.
One day their master appeared suddenly and was pleased when he found one servant harvesting the crops in the fields.Of course,he was disappointed when he couldn’t find the other one.
The master called the two servants and explained why he had been away for such a long time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The master said that he built a large beautiful house in town.
The master treated the two servants fairly.

第三部分 写作
第一节
It is evident that there existed many traditional Chinese cultures,few of which have survived into the present.As a result,China is sparing no efforts to protect traditional cultures,which is highly thought of.There is no doubt that the protection of traditional cultures is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity.
In my opinion,some measures are worth taking to protect traditional cultures efficiently.In addition,we should raise people’s awareness of culture protection.
In conclusion,it is rewarding to treasure and develop our valuable culture.
第二节
The master said that he built a large beautiful house in town.It was designed as payment for the service they had been offering,and the one who had been loyal to him would stay with him,living in a new house.So he asked the two servants whether they had a good harvest this year.The first servant happily said that he produced a good harvest every year while the other servant bowed down and apologized to his master regretfully as he had done nothing for his master.
The master treated the two servants fairly.He not only rewarded the first servant with a lot of money but also allowed him to continue working on his land.In contrast,the other servant got nothing and was finally fired.The lesson we learn from this story is simple:if we are always loyal to others,we will be rewarded instead of being punished.
