二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old 1 in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place in 2 you live. Some people worry 3 young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and, 4 , buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, 5 Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is very important for westerners, but it can 6 have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: 7 friendliness. Not all countries are as 8 as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to 9 from them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look at the other side of the fence, but 10 you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
1. A. word B. saying C. sentence D. rule
2. A. what B. when C. where D. which
3. A. that B. if C. why D. whether
4. A. however B. besides C. instead D. then
5. A. and B. so C. but D. or
6. A. still B. never C. always D. ever
7. A. they B. their C. it D. its
8. A. warm B. warmer C. cold D. colder
9. A. hear B. conclude C. recover D. learn
10. A. make up B. make up of C. make sure D. be sure to
三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
A
Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than "I'm sorry". This phrase has become such a common response (反应) that it has taken on a lot of meanings.
Saying "Sorry" means to apologize (道歉) . This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages.
But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can't get out of the way in time. The man bumps (碰撞) into the woman. Who should say sorry Naturally, the man should say sorry, because it was he who wasn't looking where he was going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize.
It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy conflict (冲突). So to quickly calm the situation, British people will apologize to each other.
Other times it may sound funny to hear "sorry". Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter, "Sorry, but can I order another drink " It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn't always mean exactly what you think.
1.According to the passage, "sorry" is a cultural expression in _______.
A. the USA B. the UK C. the WWF D. the UN
2.What does the underlined phrase "taken on" mean in Paragraph 1
A. 从事 B. 雇佣 C. 呈现 D. 拿起
3.The example in the third paragraph is used to _______.
A. describe a situation that people should avoid
B. describe how "sorry" has another meaning in Britain
C. explain why people should say sorry to each other
D. show how polite British people are
4.The restaurant example shows that "sorry" can be used to _______.
A. apologize B. calm a situation down
C. explain what you're thinking about D. ask a waiter to bring something
5.What might be a good title for this passage
A. "I'm Sorry" Is More Than Just an Apology
B. Traditional British Manners
C. How to Best Catch Others' Attention
D. Finding a Way out of a Difficult Situation
B
Have you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression(印象)" It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true—the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.
So how do you make a good first impression All things grown-ups tell you—such as being polite, and being well-dressed—are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive(积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.
Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet—and impress—with a cheerful smile.
1. What does the underlined word "reacts" in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese
A. 回应 B. 道歉 C. 报告 D. 建议
2. Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2.
C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.
3. What is the most important to leave good impressions
A. Shaking hands. B. Stating your name.
C. Dressing nicely. D. Wearing a smile.
4. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Friendliness helps solve problems. B. Being positive helps you find a way out.
C. There are many reasons to be happy. D. Thinking of great people cheers you up.
5. What would be the best title for the text
A. The First Impression Does Count B. Smiling Makes the First Impression
C. Manners Leave Deep Impressions D. Impressions Decide Who You Are

2.答案：B
解析： 句意：——你觉得现在的价格怎么样？——一般来说，价格取决于需求。考查形容词辨析。private私密的；general一般的；central中心的；difficult困难的。根据“As a…rule, prices follow needs”可知，此空应是一个总结概括的语言，“as a general rule一般来说”符合，故选B。
3.答案：C

5.答案：B
解析：句意：只有通过巨大的努力和勤奋工作，你才能达到你的最终目标。考查名词词义辨析。dream梦想；effort努力；praise赞扬；success成功。由“hard work”可推测要想达到最终目标，就要付出巨大的努力。故选B。
6.答案：B
解析：句意：这听起来很简单，但实际上很难。考查形容词辨析。silent安静的；simple简单的；noisy吵闹的；funny有趣的。根据空后的“but in fact it’s very difficult”可知，题干前后之间构成转折关系，此处应与后面提到的“困难的”形成对比，所以此处应指听起来很简单。故选B。

9.答案：B
解析：句意：毫无疑问，《一个少女的日记》这本书非常值得一读再读。考查同位语从句连接词和形容词短语固定搭配。whether是否；that作为从句引导词无含义；if不用于同位语从句；well worth reading非常值得阅读；观察第二空选项和空格前的“is”可知考查的是worth的固定用法be worth doing，排除CD。根据“There is no doubt that”句型和后文可知，从句内容不缺成分，第一空后面引导的是同位语从句，且句子意思无含义缺失。故选B。
10.答案：B
解析：联系第二句句意"他认为看电视是浪费时间。"可知, 此处应用seldom, 意为"很少"。

14.答案：A
解析：句意：——汤姆，好久不见了！一切都好吗？——不错。考查情景交际。Not bad不错；That’s right那是对的；Take it easy别紧张；Yes, I do是的，我是。根据上句“How’s it going ”可知，答语应用“不错”符合情景。故选A。
15.答案：A
解析：句意：——他现在忙吗？ ——是的。 他没有时间和我们一起吃午饭。考查形容词辨析。busy忙碌的；free空闲的；healthy健康的；tidy整洁的。根据“He has no time to have lunch with us.”可知，他没有时间和我们一起吃午饭，说明他很忙，因此此处应是问他现在忙吗，故选A。

答案：
Hi, Liu Ying,
How is everything with you I know you are going to study in Britain soon. I know you will live with the British people, so let me tell you what I read from a newspaper about British meals. The paper says they like to eat a good breakfast with fried eggs, bread, cakes, tomatoes, or coffee. But they often have a quick lunch of only a sandwich and coffee. Their dinner is usually served from 6 to 8 o’clock in the evening at which they eat beef or fish with vegetables. They usually have a rich meal on weekends with family members and eat lots of food such as chicken, beef, pork and vegetables.
I hope you will enjoy your food during your staying there.
Yours,
Li Hua
