Passage1 阅读理解
Manchester is the “capital” of the northwest of England. Situated on the east bank of the
River Irwell, it is a lively busy city with a large student population. Although it was once seen as only a dull industrial place, in recent years Manchester has become the “in” place. It is
well-known for its clubs, its fashion and its music, not to mention its world-famous football team,
Manchester United.
There is plenty to see in Manchester and something to suit all tastes. For example, you have a taste of the Orient in Chinatown, home to Manchester’s large Chinese population. Another place to visit is the historical Eastlefield area, which contains the first urban heritage park in Britain. Here you can walk around the museums and experience the atmosphere of the 19th century
Manchester.
Football fans need not feel left out: they can always make a trip to the Old Trafford Manchester United Museum which also contains a coffee shop and a souvenir shop.
It’s easy to find your way around the city center and you’re never too far away from a bus, which will take you wherever you want to go. However, many people prefer walking in a city where there’s so much to see, and much of it is off the main travel lines.
If you get tired with all that walking, you can refresh yourself at one of the many cafe bars in the city. There’s a wide variety of homely and old-fashioned ones.
Whatever you do, you won’t have a dull moment in the place which was awarded the title of “most interesting city in Europe” . Despite its unpopular industrial image in the past, Manchester is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination nowadays.

A ．a big city in the southwest of England
B ．only known for its heavy industry
C ．interesting only if you like football
D ．a very popular place now
2 ．If you are interested in history, you ________ in Manchester.
A ．will see the 18th century center building B ．can go to Chinatown
C ．don’t have a big choice D ．can visit the Eastlefield
3 ．What was Manchester like in the past
A ．A small and dull city. B ．A city full of factories.

4 ．What does the underlined word “its” in the last paragraph refer to
A ．Europe’s. B ．Tourism’s. C ．Manchester’s. D ．Industry’s.
Passage2 阅读理解
You may think that an underground town with 3,500 residents is something out of a science fiction film. You may not believe that such a town has shops, car parks. hotels. restaurants, cafes. swimming pools, churches, galleries, museums, cinemas, a golf course and much more. We
Coober Pedy in Australia’s Outback is just such a place. Although film makers sometimes use the town as a spot for science-fiction films, it is a real community full of people who enjoy living underground.
The name Coober Pedy comes from the Aboriginal(土著的) phrase kupa piti which means ‘white man in a hole’ . Miners and their families choose to live like this, hoping to get rich looking for the precious stones that Australia is famous for—opals. Living underground is the only way to shelter from the sandstorms and the high temperatures above ground, where it can be up to 50 degrees C(122F). Deep down in the town far below the desert surface, the temperature is between 19 and 20 degrees C and life is cool.
Mary Deane believes that it’s the possibility of being poor one day and rich the next that makes Coober Pedy so addictive. She and her husband Jim are among the lucky ones. They live in a luxurious home, built with money from the opals Jim has found. “Whenever people hear we live underground, they always imagine a dusty cave,” says Mary, “but they are amazed when they sit in my spotless clean kitchen eating home-made apple pie. Everyone loves our pine furniture and I have every electrical appliance money can buy in here. Whatever I need I can have and whenever I ·need more space we just dig out a few more rooms! I love my home.”
However, not everything is perfect in Coober Pedy. Mary has a tiny garden that she is very proud of, but the grass is not real. Plant life is rare. Water is also five times more expensive than overground residents pay. Recycling is a way of life, so Jim usually washes his car with bath water and they have a special system to re-use the water from the dishwasher and washing machine. “We must be very careful about how we use water,” he says, “it’s not quite as precious as the opals, but it’s still very scarce!”
5 ．What can be learned from the passage about Coobor Pody
A ．It was originally built for science-fiction films.
B ．It provides residents with recreational facilities.
C ．It is losing its appeal to young people in Australia.
D ．It was designed by Aboriginals who used to live there.
6 ．Why do miners and their families choose to live in Coober Pedy
A ．To save money and get rich one day.
B ．To make it possible to produce opals.
C ．To keep away from the modern way of life.
D ．To escape from the terrible weather conditions.
7 ．According to Mary Deane, one of the problems that living in Coober Pedy has is that
A ．they have to be economical with water
B ．they have to spend more money on food
C ．they cannot use some electrical appliances
D ．they cannot grow plants in the garden
8 ．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A ．Coober Pedy: Based on Recycling
B ．An Unimaginable Film
C ．Underground Mining
D ．Life Down Under
Passage3 七选五

The perfect Christmas Tree
In our house in Middle Cove, Newfoundland, the tradition was to find the perfect tree before Christmas Eve. And this year, my brother Gilbert and I were being trusted to do it entirely on our own. And we took the challenge very seriously. So, axe in Gilbert’s hand, saw in mine, we set out for all the spots we imagined we might find a magnificent fir (冷杉树).
We were young, but we knew the rules. Trees could not be taken from personal land and not near any road.
We started out with the best of intentions. We were on Pine River Lane, and looking at the firs in the fields, but none of them looked quite good enough. It was getting dark but we still had no luck. On the way home, it was Gilbert who stopped, grabbed my arm and said, “I see it!”
“You see what ” I said.
“Right there, look. It’s perfect.”
And he was right. It was a young tree, two metres tall, standing alone. It was the classic Christmas tree. In all my years, I had never seen such a perfect one.
Perfect except for one small problem. The tree was pretty close to the road. Also, it was
behind a fence, so the tree was in someone’s yard. And not just any someone. It was in the yard of Timmy Green, my best friend.
However, the chances of our finding another one like it were slim to none.
“You stand guard,” Gilbert said. And with that, we were over the fence and on our bellies crawling toward the target. I lay in the snow and put the Greens’ house under surveillance (监视). I was to whistle or cough if I saw anyone coming.
Within a few minutes, it fell.
“Grab the end,” Gilbert said, and we lifted it over the fence. Now we were on the road. 注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Suddenly Gilbert’s eyes widened. “Ourfootprints!” he said.

Para.1: Suddenly Gilbert’s eyes widened. “Ourfootprints!” he said. Sure enough, all around the base of the stump were footprints. Boys’ footprints. We might as well have left a signed note. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me and I patted Gilbert on the shoulder and signaled him to climb over the fence. Together we got down on all fours and wiped away our footprints with great effort. All was done! And as expected, what greeted us back home was enormous praise for the perfect tree. Satisfied as I was, the idea of being caught “stealing” the tree kept lingering in my mind. However, nobody came around and asked questions. It seemed the Greens had never noticed the missing of their property.
Para.2: So it shocked me when Ifound Mr Green in our house with my parents, drinking tea on
Christmas Eve. A ripple of fear crept inside before I finally made it to look up at Mr Green’s eyes and forced a smile. It so happened that Dad was proudly introducing the Christmas tree. “It’s a pity I’ll never have one like that.” Mr Green spoke of his tree in the yard which was nurtured for Christmas with lowered eyes. Cocooned in overwhelming guilt, I kept up courage and stuttered my apologies. Mr Green, shocked at first, nodded smilingly after learning the whole thing. Stroking the delicately decorated tree, I came to realize that not only did I find the perfect Christmas tree, but also retrieved the best in me, which was, is and will be carved in my memory.

Passage1 阅读理解
Manchester is the “capital” of the northwest of England. Situated on the east bank of the
River Irwell, it is a lively busy city with a large student population. Although it was once seen as only a dull industrial place, in recent years Manchester has become the “in” place. It is
well-known for its clubs, its fashion and its music, not to mention its world-famous football team,
Manchester United.
There is plenty to see in Manchester and something to suit all tastes. For example, you have a taste of the Orient in Chinatown, home to Manchester’s large Chinese population. Another place to visit is the historical Eastlefield area, which contains the first urban heritage park in Britain. Here you can walk around the museums and experience the atmosphere of the 19th century
Manchester.
Football fans need not feel left out: they can always make a trip to the Old Trafford Manchester United Museum which also contains a coffee shop and a souvenir shop.
It’s easy to find your way around the city center and you’re never too far away from a bus, which will take you wherever you want to go. However, many people prefer walking in a city where there’s so much to see, and much of it is off the main travel lines.
If you get tired with all that walking, you can refresh yourself at one of the many cafe bars in the city. There’s a wide variety of homely and old-fashioned ones.
Whatever you do, you won’t have a dull moment in the place which was awarded the title of “most interesting city in Europe” . Despite its unpopular industrial image in the past, Manchester is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination nowadays.

Passage2 阅读理解
You may think that an underground town with 3,500 residents is something out of a science fiction film. You may not believe that such a town has shops, car parks. hotels. restaurants, cafes. swimming pools, churches, galleries, museums, cinemas, a golf course and much more. We
Coober Pedy in Australia’s Outback is just such a place. Although film makers sometimes use the town as a spot for science-fiction films, it is a real community full of people who enjoy living underground.
The name Coober Pedy comes from the Aboriginal(土著的) phrase kupa piti which means ‘white man in a hole’ . Miners and their families choose to live like this, hoping to get rich looking for the precious stones that Australia is famous for—opals. Living underground is the only way to shelter from the sandstorms and the high temperatures above ground, where it can be up to 50 degrees C(122F). Deep down in the town far below the desert surface, the temperature is between 19 and 20 degrees C and life is cool.
Mary Deane believes that it’s the possibility of being poor one day and rich the next that makes Coober Pedy so addictive. She and her husband Jim are among the lucky ones. They live in a luxurious home, built with money from the opals Jim has found. “Whenever people hear we live underground, they always imagine a dusty cave,” says Mary, “but they are amazed when they sit in my spotless clean kitchen eating home-made apple pie. Everyone loves our pine furniture and I have every electrical appliance money can buy in here. Whatever I need I can have and whenever I ·need more space we just dig out a few more rooms! I love my home.”
However, not everything is perfect in Coober Pedy. Mary has a tiny garden that she is very proud of, but the grass is not real. Plant life is rare. Water is also five times more expensive than overground residents pay. Recycling is a way of life, so Jim usually washes his car with bath water and they have a special system to re-use the water from the dishwasher and washing machine. “We must be very careful about how we use water,” he says, “it’s not quite as precious as the opals, but it’s still very scarce!”
5 ．What can be learned from the passage about Coobor Pody
A ．It was originally built for science-fiction films.
B ．It provides residents with recreational facilities.
C ．It is losing its appeal to young people in Australia.
D ．It was designed by Aboriginals who used to live there.
6 ．Why do miners and their families choose to live in Coober Pedy
A ．To save money and get rich one day.
B ．To make it possible to produce opals.
C ．To keep away from the modern way of life.
D ．To escape from the terrible weather conditions.
7 ．According to Mary Deane, one of the problems that living in Coober Pedy has is that
A ．they have to be economical with water
B ．they have to spend more money on food
C ．they cannot use some electrical appliances
D ．they cannot grow plants in the garden
8 ．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A ．Coober Pedy: Based on Recycling
B ．An Unimaginable Film
C ．Underground Mining
D ．Life Down Under

The perfect Christmas Tree
In our house in Middle Cove, Newfoundland, the tradition was to find the perfect tree before Christmas Eve. And this year, my brother Gilbert and I were being trusted to do it entirely on our own. And we took the challenge very seriously. So, axe in Gilbert’s hand, saw in mine, we set out for all the spots we imagined we might find a magnificent fir (冷杉树).
We were young, but we knew the rules. Trees could not be taken from personal land and not near any road.
We started out with the best of intentions. We were on Pine River Lane, and looking at the firs in the fields, but none of them looked quite good enough. It was getting dark but we still had no luck. On the way home, it was Gilbert who stopped, grabbed my arm and said, “I see it!”
“You see what ” I said.
“Right there, look. It’s perfect.”
And he was right. It was a young tree, two metres tall, standing alone. It was the classic Christmas tree. In all my years, I had never seen such a perfect one.
Perfect except for one small problem. The tree was pretty close to the road. Also, it was
behind a fence, so the tree was in someone’s yard. And not just any someone. It was in the yard of Timmy Green, my best friend.
However, the chances of our finding another one like it were slim to none.
“You stand guard,” Gilbert said. And with that, we were over the fence and on our bellies crawling toward the target. I lay in the snow and put the Greens’ house under surveillance (监视). I was to whistle or cough if I saw anyone coming.
Within a few minutes, it fell.
“Grab the end,” Gilbert said, and we lifted it over the fence. Now we were on the road. 注意：

收是一种生活方式， 所以吉姆通常用洗澡水洗车， 他们有一个特殊的系统来重复使用洗碗机 和洗衣机的水。) 可知， 生活在地下， 虽说玛丽拥有值得自豪的花园， 但花园里的草是假的。 可推知，在这里缺乏水资源和绿色植物，因而节约用水是必须的。故选 A。
8．主旨大意题。通读全文， 文章在第一段向我们介绍了澳大利亚的地下城镇——库伯佩迪， 提到了这个地下城镇拥有的基础设施。第二段讲到了这个地下城镇名称的由来及人们住在地 下的原因。第三、四段通过玛丽的事例讲述了生活在在这个地下城镇里可实现突然致富的带 来的优越生活及必须面对的现实问题。据此可知， 文章的标题可以为“地下城市的生活”，故 选 D。

One possible version:
Para.1: Suddenly Gilbert’s eyes widened. “Ourfootprints!” he said. Sure enough, all around the base of the stump were footprints. Boys’ footprints. We might as well have left a signed note. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me and I patted Gilbert on the shoulder and signaled him to climb over the fence. Together we got down on all fours and wiped away our footprints with great effort. All was done! And as expected, what greeted us back home was enormous praise for the perfect tree. Satisfied as I was, the idea of being caught “stealing” the tree kept lingering in my mind. However, nobody came around and asked questions. It seemed the Greens had never noticed the missing of their property.
Para.2: So it shocked me when Ifound Mr Green in our house with my parents, drinking tea on
Christmas Eve. A ripple of fear crept inside before I finally made it to look up at Mr Green’s eyes and forced a smile. It so happened that Dad was proudly introducing the Christmas tree. “It’s a pity I’ll never have one like that.” Mr Green spoke of his tree in the yard which was nurtured for Christmas with lowered eyes. Cocooned in overwhelming guilt, I kept up courage and stuttered my apologies. Mr Green, shocked at first, nodded smilingly after learning the whole thing. Stroking the delicately decorated tree, I came to realize that not only did I find the perfect Christmas tree, but also retrieved the best in me, which was, is and will be carved in my memory.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开， 讲述了圣诞节前夕， 作者和他的弟弟吉尔伯特意外找到了 一棵完美的冷杉树，尽管这棵树长在作者的朋友提米 格林的院子里，兄弟俩还是想方设法 把它偷回了家， 还聪明地销毁了树桩底部周围的脚印。这棵树得到了家人的肯定， 但是作者 内心有点忐忑。当格林先生来家里拜访时， 看着作者家的圣诞树谈起了自己院子里失踪了的 冷杉树时，作者鼓起勇气承认了错误，最终找回了内心美好的东西。
【详解】 1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然， 吉尔伯特的眼睛睁大了。 ‘我们的足迹！ ’他说。 ”可知， 第一段 可描写作者兄弟俩如何消除“作案”痕迹， 并顺利把树扛回了家， 并博得大家好评， 但是作者 内心不安。
②由第二段首句内容“所以当我发现在平安夜， 格林先生和我的父母在我们家喝茶时， 我很 震惊。 ”可知，第二段可描写内疚的作者在听到格林先生谈及那棵树时，勇敢承认了自己的 错误，而对方对这事也一笑了之了。作者也因此找回了自己内心最好的品质。
