四、阅读理解
Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them,and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”.But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the DailyMail,just one in 50 British families has this weekly meal together.
There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular.In the busy modern world,where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen,people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.
However,a recent article from TheTelegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules,“It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
TheGuardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxing morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy mums and dads,even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event,children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
1.The best title for the passage is probably “ ”.
A.Sunday—Best Time for Family
B.Sunday Roast Dying Out
C.The Perfect Time for Us
D.Sit Down Together
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“ButnowthetraditionalSundayroastseemstohavebeenleftbackintheolddays.AccordingtotheDailyMail,justonein50Britishfamilieshasthisweeklymealtogether.”可知,英国每周一次的传统活动“周日烤肉”似乎已经成为过去。现在,只有五十分之一的英国家庭仍然保留这个传统。下文具体介绍了导致这种现象的原因。故选B项。
2.Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast
A.They have a busy lifestyle.
B.They have no interest in cooking.
C.They don’t think it worthwhile.
D.They are living in the modern society.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,在这个忙碌的现代世界里,人们似乎没有时间和耐心烤肉了。因此忙碌的生活方式是导致“周日烤肉”正在逐渐消失的原因。故选A项。
3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.A recent article.
B.A traditional kitchen.
C.The fine old tradition.
D.The good food.
答案:C
解析:代词指代题。根据最后一段中的“TheSundayroastalsomakesforrelaxingmorningactivitiesinthekitchen,andthetablebecomestheperfectplacetosharegoodfoodandchatwithfamilyandfriends.”可知,“周日烤肉”有助于人们在厨房里放松,餐桌成为亲朋好友分享美食以及聊天的好地方。因此吃大餐只是“周日烤肉”的一部分,故it指的是“周日烤肉”的老传统。
4.How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Sorry. D.Uncertain.
答案:C
解析:观点态度题。根据文章对“周日烤肉”传统的介绍,尤其是最后一段的叙述可知,该传统活动是一个有利于家人和朋友交流的好机会。所以对于这项传统的逐渐消失,作者深表遗憾。故选C项。
五、完形填空

导语:澳大利亚黄金海岸有许多景点,开车去的话,会错过很多美景。所以骑自行车旅游是那里的一大特色。
The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun.There are beautiful beaches,adventure parks,nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here.It is a pity to drive a car and you’ll miss a great part of it.Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when you are moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle,you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before.It is a quieter mode1 of transportation2 as well,so you might even be able to take a picture.When you are on the beach,you can breathe the clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand.It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions.There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size.These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colours to suit all tastes.If you have ever wanted to try a tandem3,now is your chance,because they have those too.
Hiring a bicycle on the Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once.This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.
译文:
黄金海岸家庭度假一直是很有趣的。那里有美丽的海滩、探险公园、自然公园,还有更多。
这里有那么多的景点可供观赏。开车旅行是很遗憾的,你会错过很大一部分。澳大利亚是很多鸟兽的家园,你只有慢慢移动并进入它们生活的区域才能看到它们。
当你骑自行车时,你就有这个优势了:能够在想看一只以前没见过的有趣的鸟兽的时候停下来。骑自行车也是一种更加安静的交通方式,所以你或许能拍照。当你在海滩上时,你可以呼吸新鲜空气,并欣赏海水和沙子的美丽。这是一种与仅仅进行日光浴或者开车经过完全不同的经历。
租一辆自行车来体验黄金海岸的景点有很多选择。有可以根据你的体形为你选择一辆合适的自行车的商店。这些自行车既有给大人的,也有给孩子的,有很多适合各种喜好的款式和颜色。如果你想尝试一辆双人自行车,现在你的机会来了,因为他们也有那种自行车。
在黄金海岸租用一辆自行车是每个人应该至少尝试一次的事情。这对于喜欢骑自行车的任何人来说是个极好的机会,也是和你的家人旅行的一种便宜的方式。

Customers chat,read the newspaper and order sandwiches and drinks at August First Bakery & Café in Burlington,Vermont,but there’s something different here.“I was here working on my laptop when I looked over and saw that there was a sign that said ‘laptop-free’,”says Luna Colt,a student at the University of Vermont.During a recent visit,Colt was shocked that using her computer was against the rules.
When the owner,Jodi Whalen,first opened it four years ago,she offered free Wi-Fi to customers.Students like Colt went there in large numbers and started typing away and staying all day.“We saw a lot of customers come in,look for a table,not be able to find one and leave,”Whalen says.“It was money flowing out of the door for us.”That’s why Whalen decided there’d be no more screens.It was a gradual move.She started by shutting down the Wi-Fi two years ago.Then,the café banned screens during lunch.“A lot of people were bummed out,”Whalen says.“But we actually saw our sales increase.”
What’s socially acceptable when it comes to using a laptop in public Luna Colt thinks it’s about how much money you spend.“You should buy something every two hours if you’re going to be here and just work all day,”Colt says.As long as you’re being a good customer,she says,there’s nothing wrong with working on a laptop.
Not quite,according to Whalen.“It’s less about how much a laptop user buys,and more about table space.Even if they think they’re a good customer because they buy food,they’re still here for long hours,”she says.“To walk into a place and see people looking at their screens with a blank stare,it takes away the community aspect of it—of you being in a place with other people,”Whalen adds.
4.Why is August First Bakery & Café different
A.Because customers are not allowed to use their laptops.
B.Because those who visit the café are often very strange.
C.Because it offers unusual sandwiches and drinks.
D.Because it is only open to university students.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“butthere’ssomethingdifferenthere”和“Duringarecentvisit,Coltwasshockedthatusinghercomputerwasagainsttherules.”可知,这个地方的不同之处是不准客人使用笔记本电脑。
5.The underlined words “bummed out” in paragraph 2 probably mean “ ”.
A.grateful B.fortunate
C.disappointed D.frightened
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段对客人情况的描述,再结合“Butweactuallysawoursalesincrease.”可知,虽然很多客人很失望而离去,但是销售额增加了。故选C项。
6.We can infer from the text that Luna Colt .
A.works part-time in Jodi Whalen’s store
B.might not be popular with Jodi Whalen
C.likes the food in August First Bakery & Café
D.will not work on a laptop in public anymore
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段的内容,特别是“Notquite,accordingtoWhalen.”可知,JodiWhalen并不欢迎像LunaColt这样的顾客。故选B项。
7.What’s the main idea of the text
A.It is good for our health to stay away from Wi-Fi.
B.A café owner improves sales by saying no to laptops.
C.A university student shows how to be a good customer.
D.People are efficient while working on a laptop in a café.

过去分词
过去分词在句子中可以做定语、状语、宾语补足语和表语。
一、过去分词做定语
1.意义:及物动词的过去分词做定语往往表示被动和完成;不及物动词的过去分词做定语不表示被动,只表示完成。
a lighted candle 一支点燃的蜡烛
the risen sun升起的太阳
2.位置:单个的过去分词做定语时,通常放在所修饰词的前面;过去分词短语做定语时,通常放在所修饰词的后面,其作用相当于一个定语从句。
The volunteers pay a regular visit to the retired teachers.
这些志愿者定期去看望那些退休的教师。
I don’t like the novel written by that young girl.
=I don’t like the novel which/that was written by that young girl.

二、过去分词做状语
做状语时,过去分词(短语)修饰谓语,说明动作发生的时间、原因、条件、方式等。
1.过去分词(短语)做时间状语,其作用相当于一个时间状语从句。
Asked about his address (=When he was asked about his address),the boy didn’t respond.
当问及他的地址时,这个男孩没有作答。
2.过去分词(短语)做原因状语,其作用相当于一个原因状语从句。

3.过去分词(短语)做条件状语,其作用相当于一个条件状语从句。
Given more time (=If they were given more time),they could have done the job much better.
如果再多给一点时间,他们可以把工作做得更好。
4.过去分词(短语)做让步状语,其作用相当于一个让步状语从句。
Though warned of the storm (=Though they had been warned of the storm),the farmers were still working in the fields.

5.过去分词(短语)做方式或伴随状语时,常可转换为并列分句。
Followed by a group of students,the teacher entered the classroom.
=The teacher entered the classroom and he was followed by a group of students.
老师走进教室,后面跟着一群学生。
注意 过去分词(短语)做状语时,前面有时可以加上when,if,while,though,even if,until,unless等连词,这种结构可以看作是一种省略的状语从句(省略部分多为“主语+be”)。需要注意的是,省略的主语必须和主句的主语相同或主语为it。
Even if invited (=Even if I’m invited),I won’t take part in the party.
即使受到邀请,我也不会参加那个聚会。
记一记·长知识
动词-ing形式也可以做状语,与过去分词(短语)做状语最主要的区别如下:
①动词-ing形式做状语时,动词-ing形式所表示的动作与句子主语之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系。
The girl went out,shutting the door behind her.
女孩出去后将门随手关上。
②过去分词(短语)做状语时,过去分词所表示的动作与句子主语之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系。

He found his hometown greatly changed.
他发现他的家乡变化很大。
2.用于使役动词之后。如:have,make,get,keep,leave等。

他昨天把牙拔了。
3.用于“with +宾语+宾语补足语”结构中。

M:Good afternoon.Welcome to this tour of Davidson College.As a senior here,I could tell you all about my experiences in classrooms and labs.But I think it would be most valuable to talk about the campus as we walk around outside to get an overall feel of this amazing place.On my left is the library,and besides being the main place where students do research for papers,it’s also the place where a lot of students hang out between classes.There are computers and comfortable chairs everywhere,and on each floor,there are areas that do not require you to be quiet.Perhaps this is why we like it so much!Down the road to my right is the student centre,where students can buy coffee,snacks,and official Davidson College clothing.The student centre is open until 8:00 p.m. on school nights and until 10:00 p.m. on weekend nights.Carson Gym,which is named after one of Davidson’s most famous professors,is open 24 hours a day,seven days a week.You can play almost every sport you can imagine there,and there are health classes like yoga and group dance every day except Wednesday.The best part about the gym is the cost: students pay a yearly fee of $50,and they get to use the facilities as much as they want.All right,let’s go to the stadium now.
17.What does the man think is the most valuable part of the tour
A.Telling stories about classes.

UrbanTransportationinCanada
Publictransportation&transitpasses
All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation.The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada.To use public transportation,you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass.Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more).They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.
Transportationforpeoplewithdisabilities
Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities.In many cities and towns,there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility,such as specially equipped buses.You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.
Etiquetteonpublictransportation
When you are taking public transportation such as a bus or train,it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space.Here are a few things to note:
◆Be polite and respectful to others around you.For example,maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.
◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle,keep it close to you,preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.
◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.Sometimes public transit can become very crowded,but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.
◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.

A boy who has been compared to the great Spanish painter,Pablo Picasso,held his first exhibition in Llangollen in 2010.
Hamad Al Humaidhan,who was born in Kuwait,had no previous knowledge of art history when he first picked up a brush.But he began to paint his favourite football player,Cristiano Ronaldo,using Picasso’s trademarks—bright colours and impressionistic forms.
His father said,“I’ve got lots of books about Picasso and I showed them to Hamad but he didn’t know anything about Picasso—it’s just naturally the way he sees it and he just loves to paint.”
His first painting of Ronaldo,done when he was just nine,was sold at auction(拍卖) in Bath for ￡650,which drew the attention of a local art businessman Steve Turner.“A colleague sent me some pictures of Hamad’s work and I just couldn’t believe the size of it and how the colours mixed together,” he said.“He had talent and I thought Picasso had been reborn.”“I’ve shown his work to private art collectors.They liked them very much and everyone was eager to buy,so the first six paintings have been snapped up.I bought two of them myself.The next set of his works will go on show for the first time at Llangollen,which will be the first opportunity for the public to see his amazing talent.”
Hamad enjoys maths at school but ranks painting higher.“I think I prefer painting!It makes me relaxed and when I feel tired I just pick up a paint brush,” he said.“I just close my eyes and see how it’s going to look and then I just paint it—I paint every day.I just love the colours and I want people to enjoy my paintings.”

People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression,and that’s actually quite true. 36 .After all,making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when you are spending time with them.The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.
●Dress appropriately
37 .That means dressing up or putting on nice,clean,situation-appropriate clothes for social situations.It isn’t difficult and it doesn’t have to cost you much,either.
●Be aware of your body language
Words express very little of what you say.Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. 38 .Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable,important and special.Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious.Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.
●Respect the opinions of others
Not everyone will have the same opinion with you,and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversation.Respect other people’s right to have their own opinions.Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 39 .
● 40
People love talking about themselves,but generally,you want to be careful about taking over the conversation.By listening carefully to what others are saying,you not only are making them feel important,but can gather cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.
A.Be a careful listener
B.Show an interest in every person you meet
C.Smile especially when first meeting someone
D.Make sure you look nice whenever you meet someone new
E.Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m.When I arrived,I found the building was dark except for the only light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked.“Just a minute,” answered a weak,elderly voice.
After a long time,the door opened.A small woman in her eighties stood before me.By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car,and then returned to help the woman.She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness.“It’s nothing,”I told her,“I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh,you’re such a good man,”she said.When we got into the taxi,she gave me an address,and then asked,“Could you drive through downtown ”
“It’s not the shortest way,”I answered quickly.
“Oh,I’m in no hurry,” she said.“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终安养院).I don’t have any family left.The doctor says I don’t have a very long life.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the metre(计价器).For the next two hours,we drove through the city.She showed me the building where she had once worked,the neighbourhood where she had lived,and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness,saying nothing.
At dawn,she suddenly said,“I’m tired.Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you ” she asked.
“Nothing,” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered.“Oh,there are other passengers,” I answered.She said thanks to me,but she looked so sad.
Almostwithoutthinking,Ibentandgaveherahug.
Thenextday,Iwenttovisither.
参考范文
Almostwithoutthinking,Ibentandgaveherahug.She held me tightly.Before the woman left,I said to her,“My mother treated everyone kindly.She is a great person,but she passed away years ago.You are like my mother.” The woman said,“Thank you.If you want to hear my story,come to visit me tomorrow.” Then the woman left.After a long pause,I drove the taxi to go home.
Thenextday,Iwenttovisither.The old woman told me that she used to be a millionaire.She became interested in making money.She was the owner of the particular building we saw last night.But she ignored her family.Her only son died one year ago because of cancer.She had sold everything to save him,but failed.How sad!At last,the old woman said to me,“Life is short,but please be in no hurry.Though everyone has to earn money to make a living,always remember that family is the most important thing to you.” I said nothing but nodded hard.(共13张PPT)
