英语
第一部分单项选择题(共两节,满分70分)
第一节阅读理解(共15小题,每小2分,满30分)
What would life be like without commas (逗号) It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.
Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.
The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.
In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.
1.Without commas, life would be________.
A.frightening B.puzzling C.relaxing D.interesting

A.tell jokes to readers B.show the importance of using commas
C.tell stories to readers D.show the difficulty of using commas
3.Commas were first used to________.

C.continue a sentence D.mark a break in a sentence
4.According to the last paragraph, we use commas by following________.
A.our feelings B.our speeches
C.certain rules D.some facts
5.What is the best title for the passage
A.Commas Make Sentences Clear.
B.Commas Make English Interesting.
C.Commas Make Writing Easy.
D.Commas Make Speeches Surprising.
At 5:13 on the morning of April 18th 1906, the city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake. A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt. The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250, 000. About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.
Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October 17th, 1989. It was America’s second strongest earthquake and about 100 people were killed. It happened in the evening as people were travelling home. A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below. Many people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.
Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about 50 kilometres away. In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed. These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough. There were a lot of fires all over the city. The electricity was cut off for several days too.
Why do earthquakes happen Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates. At San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American plate. The Pacific plate is moving very slowly—at 5.3 centimetres a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years. Then suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As a result of the movement of these plates, west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5-6 metres to the north.
Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco. They call it “The Big One”. However, people today are still building more houses. The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that if there is another big earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.
6.Fewer people were killed in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake because the earthquake happened_______.
A.in the centre of the city B.in the daytime
C.outside the city D.in the evening
7.Which might be the worst earthquake in the history of the USA according to the passage
A.The 1906 earthquake. B.The 1976 earthquake.
C.The 1989 earthquake. D.Both A and C.
8.Why do earthquake happen
A.Because the surface of the earth is too thin.
B.Because some plates of the earth move suddenly.
C.Because the houses built on the earth are not strong.
D.Because the plates are moving slowly.
9.What should we do about the earthquake
A.We should learn how to predict earthquakes and stop them.
B.We should stop building new houses.
C.We should build strong buildings in the right places.
D.We should try our best to stop earthquakes.
10.What does the underlined word “one” in the second paragraph refer to
A.Bridge. B.Road.
C.Car. D.Street.
I’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车) drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on the distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.
11.The author is trying to     in Delhi through this text.
A.give some advice of travelling B.expect us to travel around
C.show his/her experiences D.explain the difficulties of travelling
12.To avoid being cheated,you ought to     if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.
A.pay more to the drivers to keep safe B.show your ticket to the driver
C.go to a police-run booth D.go out of the airport
13.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to    .
A.save some money B.enjoy the comfortable trip
C.gain a unique experience D.help the local rickshaw drivers
14.What can we infer from the passage
A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
15.Which may be the topic that follows
A.Hotel recommendations in Delhi B.Weather conditions in Delhi
C.Food and drink in Delhi D.Car rentals in Delhi
