Britain’s most popular lie has been discovered,with one in four people admitting using “Sorry,I had no signal” when returning a missed mobile phone call,a survey found.
According to a recent survey people usually use this little white lie after they hit the “ignore” button when their mobile rang.The second most common lie is “I haven’t got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars.Modern technology is a major excuse in many of our lies with “I didn’t get your text” in 18th.“Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place.
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1,500 every year.One in three Britons have lied about their weight,a quarter have lied about the amount of debt they are in and 30 percent have bent the truth about the amount of exercise they do.
Almost a quarter of men have told their wife or girlfriend they look good in an outfit,despite thinking the opposite.More than 40 percent of women have admitted lying about how much new clothes actually cost while 30 percent have lied about how much they’ve had to drink.
Three quarters of people think women are better liars.The research found 46 percent of girls have been caught lying,compared to 58 of men.Men tell the most lies,coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.
A spokesman for one poll,which carried out the research of 4,300 adults,said,“As a nation we are obsessed_with trying to be nice and not upsetting people.Often little white lies are used to cover what we actually want to say.”
“Most of these were considered either completely harmless or necessary depending on the situation in which they are delivered.” He added,“It was sad to see a string of compliments in the top 50,but once again in many cases perhaps it is better to compliment with a lie than destroy someone with the truth.”
1.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The most popular British lies
B.British people like to lie
C.The reasons British people lie
D.Technology makes us lie
2.According to the research,what do women most frequently lie about?
A.Their weight.
B.The amount of their debt.
C.Their drinking habits.
D.The cost of their clothing.
3.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the research?
A.Three quarters of women are better liars.
B.Men lie more often than women.
C.More men are better liars than women.
D.More women lie than men.
4.The underlined phrase “obsessed with” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.very concerned with B.surprised about
C.opposed to D.not interested in

Some say everyday miracles(奇迹)are predestined(注定的)—the right time for the appointed meeting.And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001,11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother’s Little League team in Lancaster,New York.It was an early evening in late July.Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate,where another youngster was warming up for the next game.Swinging his bat back and forth,giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give.The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest.His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground,the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid.Penny Brown hadn’t planned to be there that day,but at the last minute,her shift(换班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance.She was
given the night off.Penny bent over the senseless boy,his face already starting to turn blue,and giving CPR,breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions.And he revived in the end.
After his recovery,he became a volunteer junior firefighter,learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life.He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin,now 18,was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming,customers in confusion,employees rushing toward a table.He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there,her face turning blue,her hands at her throat.She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her,wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands.Then,using skills he’d first learned in Scouts.The food that was trapped in the woman’s throat was freed.The color began to return to her face.
“The food was stuck.I couldn’t breathe,” she said.She thought she was dying.“I was very frightened.”
Who was the woman?
Penny Brown.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
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。
A
Not all memories are sweet.Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars.Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦).
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill,which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience.They hope it might reduce,or possibly wipe out the effect of painful memories.
In November,experts tested a drug on people in the US and France.The drug stops the body releasing(释放)chemicals that fix memories in the brain.So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced,not that the memories are wiped out.
The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some think it is a bad idea,while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people’s lives.They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman,a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pill can change people’s memories and that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity.They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are.I’m not sure whether we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser,a medical ethicist.
56.The passage is mainly about________.
A.a new medical invention
B.a new research on the pill
C.a way of wiping out painful memories
D.an argument about the research on the pill
57.The drug tested on people can________.
A.cause the brain to fix memories
B.stop people remembering bad experiences
C.stop the body producing certain chemicals
D.wipe out the emotional effects of memories
58.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.people doubt the effects of the pill
B.the pill will certainly stop people’s emotional memories
C.taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical health
D.the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America
59.You may probably read the passage in________.
A.a guidebook
B.a medical magazine
C.a textbook
D.science fiction
B
Few of us haven’t read Cinderella,the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams.Some might not want to admit it,but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻)or neglect.
Mary Santiago has that secret dream,too.Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story,a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls,she is invisible.However,her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer,Joey Parker,appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind,handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home,she leaves behind her MP3 player,which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course,there is a wicked (邪恶的)stepmother,who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary,even if that means embarrassing her.
The story,though it mostly follows Cinderella,does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly,the film,unlike many high school films,does not focus on looks,although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“The focus is firmly on following your dream.”
60.The first paragraph is mainly to ________.
A.build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream
B.remind us why Cinderella is so popular all the years
C.inform us of the main topic of the whole passage
D.tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is
61.In the movie,Mary Santiago is the main character who ________.
A.is brave in expressing her love
B.is attended badly by the stepmother
C.has a dream of meeting a prince
D.is embarrassed by the pop singer
62.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.
B.Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.
C.Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D.The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
63.The passage is mainly ________.
A.an introduction to a film
B.a review about a film
C.an essay about dreams
D.an advertisement of Cinderella
C
A year after graduation,I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered,though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation,as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis.My father went by the same name,and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused.“Wait a minute,”someone might say,“are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man,or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute,and I was given two weeks to prepare,a period I spent searching for briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror,repeating the words,“Hello,class.I’m Mr. Davis.”Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came,my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor,but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards,and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said.“Okay,here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk,offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk,overlooking a forest of hands.Every student would yell.“Calm down,you’ll all get your turn.One at a time,one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room,and seeing no other opinions,I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
64.The author took the job to teach writing because________.
A.he wanted to be respected
B.he had written some stories
C.he wanted to please his father
D.he had dreamed of being a teacher
65.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
A.He would be aggressive in his first class.
B.He was well-prepared for his first class.
C.He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.
D.He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
66.Before he started his class,the author asked the students to________.
A.write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B.cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C.cut some cards out of the construction paper
D.write down their names on the paper cards
67.The author chose the composition topic probably because________.
A.he got disappointed with his first class
B.he had prepared the topic before class
C.he wanted to calm down the students
D.he thought it was an easy topic
D
I have a cousin who’s a farmer.If you saw him on market day with his old boots and worn hat,you might think he was a tramp(流浪汉).But he’s either buying or selling cattle for thousands of pounds.He doesn’t have a luxurious lifestyle,but the farmhouse,dozens of acres of land,machinery,cattle,chickens and crops must be worth a fortune.You might describe him as a wealthy man,but he doesn’t look it.
My father owned a shop selling newspapers,cigarettes,birthday cards,toys,books and magazines.The shop provided a comfortable life for us,but we weren’t rich.The only luxury was that my father owned a car when most people in our town couldn’t afford one,apart from professionals such as doctors and lawyers.
My point is that appearances can be deceptive.You often can’t tell the rich from the way they look.
I once met Richard Branson,the Virgin Airlines tycoon(巨头).He’d flown a balloon across the Atlantic and landed in the Irish sea.When he was rescued,he was wearing jeans,a T-shirt and a sneaker.You’d never have guessed he was a multimillionaire.
Andrew Bruce,the 11th Earl(伯爵) of Elgin,invited a group of press people to his luxurious home in Fife,Scotland.His forefather,the 7th Earl of Elgin was famous for removing and transporting to Britain priceless sculptures from the Parthenon,a very famous temple in Greece.The so-called Elgin Marbles can be seen in the British Museum.The Earl’s castle was freezing cold,despite a fire burning in the hearth(壁炉).He explained to us,“I’m sorry it’s so cold,but you should know that a gentleman’s house is always cold.”
There you have it:wealth doesn’t always bring comfort.
68.People might think the writer’s cousin was a tramp because________.
A.he was always wandering on the market
B.he was poorly dressed
C.he begged foods in a small town
D.he sold cattle for nothing
69.Which of the following is true of the writer’s father?
A.He smoked cigarettes.
B.He was a professional.
C.He lived a luxurious life.
D.He had a car.
70.What does the underlined word “deceptive” probably mean?
A.Misleading. B.Unique.
C.Beneficial. D.Trustworthy.

How to get out of bad habits
Most of us have one or a few bad habits that we’d like to get out of.__71__ I have a few suggestions that have helped me and people around me.Here are some tips that can help you finally get out of that bad habit.
__72__ If you tell people around you that you will stop smoking or start to exercise three times a week,then they will check up on you.And you will feel you have to keep your promise because it is let out into the world.
Avoid temptations(诱惑).__73__ Places where you are likely to spend too much money.Things in your cupboard that will not help you to get healthier and you should not have at home at all.And people that drag(拉) you down and back into your old ways.
__74__ It may seem like a good idea to change your life all at once.In our daily life,stress and lack of energy usually lead to failure.Don’t try to be Superman or Wonder Woman.Take it easy and break one habit at a time.
__75__ You will probably not succeed the first time you do it.You fail and you make mistakes when you make changes and try new things.That’s just life and nothing to feel bad about.What you should do next is try again.
A.Tell your friends and family.
B.Know what usually gets you into bad habits.
C.See your future in your mind.
D.The reason why we need to make good habits.
E.But how do you do it?
F.Don’t break more than one habit at a time.
G.If at first you don’t succeed,please try again.

This morning I didn’t want to go to school.It was because I was tired studies.The days seemed to be longer and longer with each passed day.But I tried to pretend I was sick in order that I would not have to go to school,but I was failed.The reason was why I was not good at lying.So,I went to school.In the way,I tried singing a popular song to make me feel better.To my surprise,I suddenly realized that the joy of living does not come from what we search in life but come from what we put into life.When I realized this,the sky seemed more brighter than ever.

This morning I didn’t want to go to school.It was because I was tired  studies.The days seemed to be longer and longer with each  day. I tried to pretend I was sick in order that I would not have to go to school,but I was failed.The reason was  I was not good at lying.So,I went to school. the way,I tried singing a popular song to make  feel better.To my surprise,I suddenly realized that the joy of living does not come from what we search  in life but  from what we put into life.When I realized this,the sky seemed more  brighter than ever.

This afternoon an American high school delegation,consisting of 10 students and 5 teachers came to visit our school.Our headmaster showed them around some parts of the school.
Fortunately,our class was chosen to have an informal discussion with the visitors.Everyone at present was active to introduce themselves one by one.Our monitor,Zhanghua,made a brief introduction of the Chinese traditional festivals.Soon after that Tom,an American student,who was a great fan of Yao Ming and Jeremy Shu-How Lin,said something about NBA and some other hobbies.Then we talked about some other topics that we were concerned with.
Almost an hour had passed before we realized it.It’s really amazing to talk with the American teachers and students in English,which helps us a lot with our English.
