Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.
In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed（宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

I was deeply impressed by the 44 and stayed a while to watch: they were waiting so 45 at a distance that they seemed quite 46 to the practice. The 47 thing happened at a public telephone box. 48 waiting for their turns always kept their distance—enough to be out of 49 . It’s another typical example!
From then on I 50 to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment 51 towards others. I found the Germans always mindful of other’s privacy. They avoided putting others in an embarrassing (窘迫)situation. For instance, they never 52 about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat, 53 would they comment on the others or jewelry others wore. Their laws 54 reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows 55 matters are not allowed to be disturbed.

If there is something that appears most frequently on Chinese dining tables, it is doufu—beancurd. Beancurd looks like soft cakes and it’s made from dried soybeans. Beancurd used to be considered a favourite of the poor because of its low cost. Beans have high yields (产量) every year with their short growing period and suitability for various (各种各样) soil both dry and wet.
Historical records show beancurd was invented by Liu An, Prince of Huainan and uncle of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty（206BC—220AD）. He had a dream of finding the pill for longevity (长寿).

It got solidified and became known as doufu. Although it’s not able to keep longevity, it’s really good for one’s health with high protein and low fat.
With a long history, beancurd is rooted deep in Chinese culture. People eat more meat and fish than beancurd. But they are encouraged to have beancurd every once in a while for it’s really good for health. Most Chinese people still keep beancurd as one of their favourite dishes.

In the last 500 years nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages has changed as much as what they eat. Chocolate (巧克力) drink was first made from the seeds of the cacao (可可) tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became popular, In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent (依赖的) on it that thousands of Irish people starved (挨饿) when the crop failed during the years of 1845—1846, and thousands more were forced to go to live in America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s. According to an Arabic story, coffee was discovered when a goat keeper named Lakdi noticed that his goats were eating red fruits on a coffee tree. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake (彻底清醒的)” feeling that one third of the world’s population now starts the day with.

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives（添加剂）caused cancer.
Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包装）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar tings are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.
76. According to this passage, we can know .

D. have direct effects on our health
79. Which of the following is not true?
A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.
B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.
C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.
D. We needn’t take care of what we eat.

一、基础测试
A. 单词拼写
1. energy 2. balance 3. tired 4. lies 5. slim 6. raw 7. curiosity 8. strength 9. benefits 10. weaknesses
B. 句型转换
11. filled with 12. tells a lie 13. it seemed 14. in debt 15. not sit
C. 完成句子

二、单项填空
21—25 BDBAA 26—30 DBBBB 31—35 BBADB
重点解析：
22. 从句子结构看，应该使用被动语态；从句子表示的时间看，表示的是过去应该做完，故选D。ought to have done表示过去应该做完某事，但实际上还未完成。意思与should have done相同，只是语气更重一些。
23. could have done“(过去)本来可以做到，实际未做”．其它三个选项指“现在”，不能用来谈论与过去事实不符的事。
24. 本题受思维定式的影响，很容易误选B项。解题时应理清结构：George thought of是定语从句，省略了作宾语的关系代词。正确答案是A项，动词不定式作目的状语。
25. 比较级表示最高级的含义，意为“没有人能够给我(比这)更好的建议了”。
26. 表示“两者中较…"时，比较级前加定冠词the。表示“…比…"时，比较级前不用定冠词。本题问句可看作是Which is the larger of the two, China or Russia?的省略。
27. above all意为“尤其是、最重要的是”，常用来强调诸多事情中最重要的；after all意为“毕竟、别忘了”或“终究、终归、到底”，用以提醒或强化被忽略的事实或现象，或表示转折之意；in all的意思是“总共，总计”；first of all的意思是“首先”，表示要说、要做事情的顺序。
28. 不定式only to find 表示意想不到的结果，后一空为定语从句，当先行词有人也有物时，关系代词用that。
30. 句意为：发展原子核科学应该使人们受益，而不是对他们有害。
35. weather是不可数名词，故排除A、D项；so只有在与much或little连用时，其后才能接不可数名词。例如：He has earned so much money that he could buy a new car.
三、完形填空
36—40 DACBA 41—45 BCDBD 46—50 ACCBB 51—55 BABDB
重点解析：
36. to one’s surprise“令某人惊奇的是”。作者发现人们排队等候与平常不同，所以感到奇怪。
37. Why so?“为什么会这样呢？”因为作者感到奇怪，问为什么会这样是很合理的。
38. 由people queuing可知人们在排队按次序等候。in turn“按顺序”；by turns“轮流、交替”。
39. 队列之间的距离没有缩短。
40. 这种现象使作者感到好奇。
41. respect for other’s privacy“尊重他人的隐私”。
42. “Thank you for your respect for other’s privacy”是告诫的话,所以用warning “警告、告试”较合适。
43. 句意应是“不要干涉别人的私事”。
44. 作者对这种现象或情景很有感触。
45. 为了尊重别人的隐私，大家都很平静地等着。
46 大家似乎对这种做法已经习惯了。
47. 为了尊重别人的隐私，在公用电话亭排队打电话时，人们做的和在银行存款时是一样的。
48. 完整的句子是 “Those who were waiting for their turns…”, those在此作主语，意为those people.
49. 在电话亭等候打电话时，为了尊重别人的隐私，当然就不能听别人的谈话内容，所以用out of hearing最符合题意。
50. take care to do sth. “注意做某事”，而pay attention to后要接动名词。
51. their ways of doing things, manners, treatment被展示给别人，用shown作宾语。
52. ask about “询问”。此处只有询问年纪、收入等才符合逻辑。
53. 用nor…表示“也不……”。
54. 题意是“法律禁止偷看别人的日记或私拆别人的信件”。
55. personal matters “私人问题，私事”。

61. 题目中所给选项均陈述事实，文中提及 “low cost”。 “cost” 指成本、价格，因豆腐价格低廉，故为穷人所喜欢。
62. 此题难度较小。从文中第一段末句即可得出答案。但要理解出 “suitability（适宜）”之意，否则会增加选择的难度。

68. 此题考查句意理解。爱尔兰依赖土豆为生，1845—1846年间，土豆收成不好，导致其人民不得不逃往美国生活。
70. 喝咖啡可以提神，所以人们常在早晨喝它。这既是考查常识，又考查对文末一句话的理解。

A
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,

Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere changes. We can see and
feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the
atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds steams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿)in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Water cycle B/ Water vapor C. How rain forms D. Water ,vapor, rain
51. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
52. Whether water vapor can be seen or not depends on _______.
A. how much water is evaporated B. how good your eyes are
C. in which way water is evaporated D. climate or weather
53. From the passage we get to know___________.
A. there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions
B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor
D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Scientists have developed a new cancer drug. So far, they have tested it only in laboratory animals. The drug
is designed to enter and kill cancer cells, but not healthy cells.
First, the drug enters the cancer cells and stops their supply of blood. Then it releases poison to destroy the
cancer cells.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in Cambridge carried out the study. The results appeared in Nature magazine. A school report called the drug an “anticancer smart bomb”.
Ram Sasisekharan is a professor at MIT. He says that his team had to solve three problems. They had to find a way to destroy the blood vessels, then to prevent the growth of new ones. But they also needed the blood vessels to supply chemicals to _________.
So, the researchers designed a two-part “nanocell”. The cell is measured in nanometers(毫微米), or one thousand millionth of a meter.
The scientists say thay that it was small enough to pass through the blood vessels of the cancer, but it was too big to enter normal blood vessels. The surface of the nanocells also helped them to avoid natural defenses.
The scientists designed the cell as a balloon inside a balloon. They filled the outer part with a drug that caused the blood vessels to die. That cut off the blood supply and put the nanocells inside the cancer. Then, the nanocells slowly released drugs to kill the cancer cells.
The team says that the treatment killed the cancer and avoided healthy cells better than other treatments. Untreated mice with cancer survived for twenty days. The scientists say that mice with the best current treatments lived for thirty days. In this study, they say that eighty percent of the mice treated with the nanocells lived more than sixty-five days.
The scientists say that more studies are needed before the new drug can be tested in humans.
54. What’s the best title of the passage? (please answer within 10 words.)

55. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Scientists haven’t tested the drug on humans, and only in lab.

A possible version:
What will life be like without animals
Animals are close friends of human beings. Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colorful. Unfortunately, we heard such news recently that rare animals, even kept in the zoo, couldn't escape being hurt and killed, at which we can feel nothing but shocked. The reason why it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring for them.
Therefore, we should study and publicize the information about rare animals, and keep it in mind that
protecting animals is the duty of everyone. At the same time, we should take active and effective measures. After
all, protecting animals is protecting ourselves. （115 words）

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak , though the word “ obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months, of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
46. Before children start speaking______.
A. they need equal amount of listening
B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions.
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
47. Children who start speaking late___________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
48. A baby’s first noises are ________.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults
49. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech_______.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored because children’s use of words is often meaningless
50. The speaker implies__________.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
B
So long as teachers fail to distinguish(区别) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and fun_ction. The fun_ction of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient(有效的) system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. “ Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.
51. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_______.
A. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
B. reading tasks are given with little guidance
C. it is one of the most difficult school courses
D. students spend limited hours in reading
52. The teaching of reading will be successful if _______.
A. teachers can make their teaching activities observable
B. teachers can teach their students how to read
C. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
D. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
53. The word “scrutiny” (paragraph 3 ) most probably means “_________”.
A. unbelief B. control C. inquiry D. observation
54 . the main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. reading is more complicated than believable
B. reading ability is something gained rather than taught
C. teachers could encourage students to read as widely as possible
D. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
第四部分 书面表达
第一节 阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题 2分, 满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
You are not given false information first that sounds as if it could be the answer to the question. An instance(例证) of this may be that the information given matches one of the answers, but does not meet the criterion(标准) given in the question—the person could be talking about last week when the question asks about next week. The correct information usually, if not always, comes afterwards.
Nearly right is not the same thing as right; examinations often give information that sounds more or less correct, but is in some way unsatisfactory. Adverbs and modals(情态动词) are often used to send you the wrong way; the listening text might use “ She may well be late” – and the question “ She will be late” this is not an exact match and consequently(结果) could easily be the wrong answer. It has to be ________.
In longer listening passages, they often try to lend you to lose concentration by having quite long sections where no information relevant(有关的) to the exercise is given. But then out of the blue (unexpectedly) they hit you with a couple of answers in quick turns.
Although most longer listening passages begin with an introduction that lets you get into the flow before they start testing you, you can not depend on this; the first word could in theory(理论) be the answer to the first question.
Examiners will often place a word directly from the passage in a wrong answer and use a synonym(同义词) in the correct answer. Check the meaning and do not rely on word recognition to get the right answer.
55. In what situation will the passage be useful? (please answer within 10 words)

58. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默), too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!
5. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
A．understanding. B. honesty. C. reliability. D. a sense of humor.
6. If you have fair weather friends, ______ .
A. they will give you all that they have when you need help
B. you will be refused when you get into trouble
C. you will become rich D. you can be sure that you get real friends
7. Good friends need to ______.

Modern life is a lot less to the advantage of friendships and neighborliness than it used to be. The average American moves every five years. People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches (前走廊). These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names.
Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick(鸡腿) from the refrigerator of a stranger.
The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life.
_________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.
Friendships fade away if there isn't an balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain(耗尽) you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through.
