When it comes to the British royal family (王室), one thing is almost always true: They have a pretty puzzling set of official rules. For example, the royal family doesn't have a last name. When attending formal daytime events, all women must wear hats. And don't forget the fact that Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.
If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. According to British custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a “princess”. Kate is an example of the latter. She is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge because she married Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, also bear official royal titles.
However, while Prince George's and Prince Louis' future children will also carry their father's royal status (身份), any children that Princess Charlotte has will not naturally be considered princes or princesses. Why According to royal custom, royal titles are passed down through sons, but not daughters.
“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children, they would not naturally inherit the titles HRH (his or her royal highness), Prince, or Princess，” Lucy Hume, director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told Town & Country.
Of course, exceptions can and will be made. The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal children in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, refused, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be provided the_same_offer when her own children are born.
24．Why does the author give three examples in Paragraph 1
A．To tell us the difference of the royal family.
B．To introduce the most important official rules.
C．To show some royal customs are difficult to understand.
D．To prove British royal family keeps its traditions very well.
25．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Kate got her title because of her sons.
B．Princess Charlotte's title comes from her father.
C．A prince's wife is called the Duchess of Cambridge.
D．Prince William got his title because of Princess Kate.
26．What do Lucy Hume's words show
A．A princess' son is also called a prince.
B．A prince's children are more important.
C．All of a prince's children can inherit titles.
D．Princess Charlotte's children are different.
27．What does the underlined part “the same offer” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Being provided with HRH status.
B．Anne and her husband's decision.
C．Inheriting a royal title from a prince.
D．Anne's children having the same title as her.
C
It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries (盗窃). Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours' property (财产) while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes (项目) have been set up in the UK.
The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger.
When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone's house if they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows.
Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are also being made.
28．The “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme in Mollington was started ________.
A．as the first of its kind in the UK
B．after 50,000 burglaries in the area
C．because the police were short of hands
D．because it was a popular holiday centre
29．The job for members of a “Watch” group is to ________.
A．do their best to catch burglars
B．ask strangers to leave at once
C．help those who are in trouble
D．report a burglary to the police
30．What does the author think of the scheme
A．He doubts it. B．It is worrying.
C．It is successful. D．He is uncertain about it.
31．What's the purpose of the text
A．To advise. B．To discuss.
C．To educate. D．To introduce.
D
What is one of the most boring and tiresome words ever Responsibility, I think, is one of those words you have probably heard so many times from authority. Sometimes, it asks us to do things that are unpleasant or even frightening.
Once in a hospital a male patient knocked over a cup of water, which spilled (洒) on the floor beside the patient's bed. The patient was afraid he might slip on the water if he got out of the bed, so he asked his nurse's assistant to mop it up.
The patient didn't know it, but the hospital policy said that small spills were the responsibility of the assistant while large spills were to be mopped up by the hospital's housekeepers.
The nurse's assistant decided that the spill was a large one and she called a housekeeper. The housekeeper arrived but said that the spill was a small one. An argument followed.
“It's not my responsibility，” said the nurse's assistant. “Because it's a large puddle (水洼)．” The housekeeper did not agree. “Well, it's not mine，” she said. “The puddle is too small.”
The patient listened for a while, and then he took a bottle of water from his night table and poured the whole thing on the floor. “Is that a big enough puddle now for you two to decide？” he asked. It was the end of the argument.
So, responsibility is about our ability to respond to situations and to choose the attitudes, actions and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept (观念) of power that puts us in the driver's seat. If you want more control over your life, all you have to do is to be responsible. Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on.
32．According to Para.1, the author thinks that responsibility ________.
A．is the most boring word
B．may upset people sometimes
C．causes people to do bad things
D．matters more to authority figures
33．The nurse's assistant argued with the housekeeper because ________.
A．they looked down upon each other's job
B．they didn't want to break the hospital policy
C．they didn't know what the hospital policy was
D．they each thought the other should mop up the puddle
34．Who probably mopped the water up at last
A．The patient. B．The patient's nurse.
C．The nurse's assistant. D．The housekeeper.
35．The author wants to tell us that, to control our life, we should ________.
A．show others that we are reliable
B．respond to situations quickly
C．learn to be responsible
D．trust no one but ourselves

When it comes to the British royal family (王室), one thing is almost always true: They have a pretty puzzling set of official rules. For example, the royal family doesn't have a last name. When attending formal daytime events, all women must wear hats. And don't forget the fact that Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.
If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. According to British custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a “princess”. Kate is an example of the latter. She is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge because she married Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, also bear official royal titles.
However, while Prince George's and Prince Louis' future children will also carry their father's royal status (身份), any children that Princess Charlotte has will not naturally be considered princes or princesses. Why According to royal custom, royal titles are passed down through sons, but not daughters.
“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children, they would not naturally inherit the titles HRH (his or her royal highness), Prince, or Princess，” Lucy Hume, director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told Town & Country.
Of course, exceptions can and will be made. The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal children in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, refused, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be provided the_same_offer when her own children are born.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了英国王室有一些让人很难理解的规矩。
24．Why does the author give three examples in Paragraph 1
A．To tell us the difference of the royal family.
B．To introduce the most important official rules.
C．To show some royal customs are difficult to understand.
D．To prove British royal family keeps its traditions very well.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“They have a pretty puzzling set of official rules.”可知，作者举的三个例子是为了说明王室的一些规矩让人很难理解。
25．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Kate got her title because of her sons.
B．Princess Charlotte's title comes from her father.
C．A prince's wife is called the Duchess of Cambridge.
D．Prince William got his title because of Princess Kate.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段的“ ... only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a ‘princess’”可以推知，Princess Charlotte的头衔来自她的父亲。根据第二段的第二、三句可知，凯特因嫁给威廉王子而得到王室的地位，成为凯特王妃，故排除A和D。文中提及Duchess of Cambridge只是说明了凯特的另一个身份，不能推出王子的妻子被称为Duchess of Cambridge，故排除C。
26．What do Lucy Hume's words show
A．A princess' son is also called a prince.
B．A prince's children are more important.
C．All of a prince's children can inherit titles.
D．Princess Charlotte's children are different.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons ... ”可知，王子的所有孩子都能继承王室的头衔。
27．What does the underlined part “the same offer” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Being provided with HRH status.
B．Anne and her husband's decision.
C．Inheriting a royal title from a prince.
D．Anne's children having the same title as her.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据上文的“The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal children in the past ...”可知，这里是说Princess Charlotte的孩子也有可能得到王室头衔。
C
It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries (盗窃). Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours' property (财产) while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes (项目) have been set up in the UK.
The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger.
When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone's house if they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows.
Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are also being made.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了英国的“邻里守望”项目。
28．The “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme in Mollington was started ________.
A．as the first of its kind in the UK
B．after 50,000 burglaries in the area
C．because the police were short of hands
D．because it was a popular holiday centre
解析：选A 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Since then ... more than 50,000 ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ schemes (项目) have been set up in the UK.”可知，米林顿郡的“邻里守望”项目在英国是最先开始的，故选A项。
29．The job for members of a “Watch” group is to ________.
A．do their best to catch burglars
B．ask strangers to leave at once
C．help those who are in trouble
D．report a burglary to the police
解析：选D 细节理解题。由第二段中的“it is the police who check out each report ... put themselves in any danger”可知，该项目成员的主要工作就是将发现的情况及时上报，由警方来处理，故选D项。
30．What does the author think of the scheme
A．He doubts it. B．It is worrying.
C．It is successful. D．He is uncertain about it.
解析：选C 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“fewer burglaries, a new community spirit”和“New friendships are also being made.”等信息可知，作者认为该项目十分成功，故选C项。
31．What's the purpose of the text
A．To advise. B．To discuss.
C．To educate. D．To introduce.
解析：选D 写作意图题。总览全文可知，作者主要向我们介绍了英国的“邻里守望”项目，故选D项。
D
What is one of the most boring and tiresome words ever Responsibility, I think, is one of those words you have probably heard so many times from authority. Sometimes, it asks us to do things that are unpleasant or even frightening.
Once in a hospital a male patient knocked over a cup of water, which spilled (洒) on the floor beside the patient's bed. The patient was afraid he might slip on the water if he got out of the bed, so he asked his nurse's assistant to mop it up.
The patient didn't know it, but the hospital policy said that small spills were the responsibility of the assistant while large spills were to be mopped up by the hospital's housekeepers.
The nurse's assistant decided that the spill was a large one and she called a housekeeper. The housekeeper arrived but said that the spill was a small one. An argument followed.
“It's not my responsibility，” said the nurse's assistant. “Because it's a large puddle (水洼)．” The housekeeper did not agree. “Well, it's not mine，” she said. “The puddle is too small.”
The patient listened for a while, and then he took a bottle of water from his night table and poured the whole thing on the floor. “Is that a big enough puddle now for you two to decide？” he asked. It was the end of the argument.
So, responsibility is about our ability to respond to situations and to choose the attitudes, actions and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept (观念) of power that puts us in the driver's seat. If you want more control over your life, all you have to do is to be responsible. Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on.
语篇解读：一个人要想掌控自己的生活，就要勇于担当。
32．According to Para.1, the author thinks that responsibility ________.
A．is the most boring word
B．may upset people sometimes
C．causes people to do bad things
D．matters more to authority figures

A．they looked down upon each other's job
B．they didn't want to break the hospital policy
C．they didn't know what the hospital policy was
D．they each thought the other should mop up the puddle
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，护工和清洁人员都认为清理水洼是对方的责任，应该由对方去打扫。
34．Who probably mopped the water up at last
A．The patient. B．The patient's nurse.
C．The nurse's assistant. D．The housekeeper.
解析：选D 推理判断题。护工和清洁人员根据医院的规定来确认自己的职责，都不想去拖地，于是病人将一整壶水都倒在了地上，地上的水更多了，所以应该由负责清理大水洼的清洁人员来处理。
35．The author wants to tell us that, to control our life, we should ________.
A．show others that we are reliable
B．respond to situations quickly
C．learn to be responsible
D．trust no one but ourselves
