Ⅳ.阅读理解
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格)of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office？” you ask. “Oh，” they answer, “it's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles is it？” They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know”. People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
1．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ________.
A．describe the place carefully
B．show him a map of the place
C．tell him the names of the streets
D．refer to recognizable buildings and places
2．What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A. New York. B. Los Angeles.
C. Kansas. D. Iowa.
3．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A．in order to save time B．as a test
C．so as to be polite D．for fun
4．What can we infer from the text?
A．It's important for travellers to understand cultural differences.
B．It's useful for travellers to know how to ask the way properly.
C．People have similar understanding of politeness.
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

Last summer holiday, I took a trip to Yunnan. It is in the southern part of our country.It is really a very beautiful place—grand mountains, clean rivers and kind people. Trees and flowers are seen everywhere. Every year there are lots and lots of visitors.
Maybe you have heard about Shi Lin (stone forests). There are all kinds of strange stones. Some of the small stones look like graceful girls; and the big stones look like handsome men. Other stones look like cats, peafowls, double-edged swords, mice, elephants and so on. Of all the stones, the stone like a beautiful girl in a legend is the most famous.Its name is A Shima.
I also went to Li Jiang. The roads in that city are just like the Eight Diagrams. Any road in the city goes to the centre of Li Jiang. A river runs through the whole city. If you go along the river, you'll never get lost. There are many ethnic minority people in Yunnan. They are very cordial. And they all like singing and dancing. We danced with them around the campfire that night. I really had a good time.
I like the elephants and fruits there best. An elephant is even taller than me! I even mounted the elephant, though I was very afraid at first. But the elephant seemed very friendly. I took some photos with it. The fruits there are very fresh and delicious. They are very good for our health.
The trip to Yunnan impressed me greatly. I will never forget it.

A
Have you still remembered what happened when you went to school on the first day? I still remember my interesting first day of school. On that day, I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back. I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.
Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn't notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, “So what are you drawing？” It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I know.
In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it.
1．What do we know about the writer's science class?
A．She was 15 minutes late for it.
B．She made some new friends.
C．She learned some class rules.
D．She sat in the front row.
2．According to the writer, the English class was ________.
A．boring B．useful
C．hard D．interesting
3．The writer had no lunch because she ________.
A．was afraid to stand in line
B．forgot the lunchtime
C．wasn't hungry
D．didn't like the dining room
4. In the art class, the writer ________.
A．met someone she knew before
B．talked about her past holiday
C．got to know a lively girl
D．drew some pictures about her class
B
It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I get out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favourite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “No.” I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to get out of bed at 5：00 am? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily worry, increases self-confidence and energy, extends (延长) life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favourite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
5．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?
A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B．Because she finishes her favourite exercise.
C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.
6．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A．She doesn't treat others politely.
B．She likes to make others surprised.
C．Others don't understand what she does.
D．Others try to help her by offering her food.
7．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Good health. B．Strong belief.
C．Strong power. D．Good habits.
8．What can we learn about the author from the text?
A．She acts in a strange way.
B．She wants to look different from others.
C．She aims to develop a good body shape.
D．She has difficulty getting along with others.

Ⅲ.One possible version：
Dear_Li_Lei，
I'm_glad_to_receive_your_letter._You_told_me_that_you_are_having_trouble_in_life_in_senior_high_school.
In your letter, you have mentioned that you have too much homework to do and it is too difficult for you. In my opinion, you may turn to your teachers and make some changes in your learning style. It can not only help you get along well with your teachers, but also play an important role in your own study.
In terms of friendship, you said you have suffered from loneliness because you have few friends. I think it is very normal when you just have spent three months in your new school and new class. It would be a good idea if you join in some school activities actively and try your best to make more friends. By doing this, you will find there are many lovely fiends around you and you will be more outgoing and easy-going.
I hope you will find my advice useful.
Yours sincerely，
Wang Dong

It then flows across Cambodia and southern Vietnam into a rich delta before emptying into the South China Sea.

单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读 Tips for travelling
Travelling is one of life's great joys. It's a way to see the world and learn about places you've never been before. Here are some ways to help you make the most of your travel experience. 单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读1. Plan for the unexpected.
A travel plan can be helpful, but you won't be able to plan everything down to the smallest detail. How could you possibly have known about that little restaurant at the back of that alley before you arrived, or that friendly local who invited who into his house to hear him play the drum? Often, the best parts of a trip are a result of an adventure.单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读2. Not getting what you want or getting what you didn't want can be a blessing in disguise(因祸得福)．
①When you have to take a later bus or a different ferry(渡轮), you have no choice but to accept it. This is how a lot of successful people learn to be happy when things don't go their way. 单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读
3. Price and value are two different things.
②The cost of a trip may be a couple of thousand dollars, depending on how big you go. But the value it could have on your life and your memories could be priceless. Think about how much you are willing to spend, sure, but also consider what else you want from your vacation, who you want to meet, what kind of experiences you want to have, and how you want to remember it ten years from now.单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读
4. Don't follow others' footsteps and find your own path.
Travelling in a guided tour can make you enjoy both knowledge and fun, but I look forward to wandering away from the group, down labyrinthine(迷宫似的) alleys, into
falafel(沙拉三明治) shops and sectarian(宗派的) neighbourhoods, to experience my own understanding of a city and its nearby. The same applies to when I come home from my trip. 单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读
5．Learn how to tell a better story.
③It is likely that you will see or hear things worth telling friends about when you return home. After travelling enough, you will have all the practice you need to become a master storyteller.
So keep travelling with these lessons in mind and learn more from your experiences abroad. 单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读【典句赏析】
①When you have to take a later bus or a different ferry (渡轮), you have no choice but to accept it.在你没有选择的情况下，就必须得搭乘下一班公共汽车或下一辆渡轮，没办法你只能接受它。
赏析：此句中have no choice but to do sth意为“别无选择，不得不做某事”。如：
The quality of your products is so bad that we have no choice but to return them to you.你们产品的质量太差，我们不得不将他们退还给你们。单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读②The cost of a trip may be a couple of thousand dollars, depending on how big you go.旅行可能会有几千美元的花销，这取决于你的个人经济状况。
赏析：此句中depending on是现在分词作状语，意为“取决于；视……而定”。如：
People experience differences in physical and mental capability depending on the time of day. 在一天当中的不同时间，人的体力和脑力也会有所差异。单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读③It is likely that you will see or hear things worth telling friends about when you return home.你很可能会看到或听到一些回家后值得对朋友们讲的事。
赏析：此句中It is likely that…是一常用句型，意为“很可能……”，it为形式主语，指代that此句。如：
It is likely that there will be a snowstorm tomorrow.
很可能明天会有一场暴风雪。

Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (品牌) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.
For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?
Experts say it is because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.
Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with，” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable，” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It's fake (假的) happiness.”
People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better. “It is wasteful to buy things just because they are popular，” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You'll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”
1. According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably ________．
A．to show off B．for their better quality
C．for their better designs D．to belong to a special group
2. Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?
A．Alexandra & Daniel. B．Emmy & Edmund.
C．Emmy & Alexandra. D．Daniel & Emmy.
3. What does Edmund think of expensive brands?
A．They are not worth the price.
B．They make them feel confident.
C．They need to improve their quality.
D．They pay too much attention on personal likes.
4. The text is mainly about________．
A．how to buy things reasonably
B．the competition between brands
C．the different values of teenagers
D．whether expensive brands are worth high prices

If you're planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money！” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
9. Where is the writer most probably from?
A．Italy. B．The USA. C．Britain. D.Greece.
10. According to the passage, the driver was angry because________.
A．the author gave him false (假的) money
B．the author did not give him the local money
C．the author offered to pay by credit card
D．the author had no enough change
11. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.
B．You don't have to take credit cards when travelling.
C．You should know more about the weather of the place you'll visit.
D．It's unnecessary to check the departure time carefully.
12. The writer mainly tells us ________.
A．how to make life easier
B．how to be well prepared for a trip
C．how to enjoy ourselves on a trip
D．how to plan our trip
D
First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates: strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome difficulties with determination and courage.
The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a good job, she said, she ended up leaving to focus on public service.
“My message to all of you today is this: do not waste a minute living someone else's dream.” She said. “It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy… and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA (夸大成绩)．”
She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago. “My No. 1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me.” She said. “I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement, a place where academic success wouldn't make me a target(目标) of laughing at or bullying, but instead would be a badge of honour (荣誉的象征)．” But Mrs Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities. “Unfortunately, schools like this don't exist for every kid，” she said. “You are lucky.”
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers, and that how they respond to difficulties will define them. “That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times.” She said. “But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fall.”
“Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark (特征) of many great people”， she said. “There's this guy Barack Obama…he lost his first race for Congress, and now he gets to call himself my husband.” The first lady joked: “I could spend a whole afternoon talking about his failures.”
13．What's the purpose (目的) of Michelle's visit to Tennessee High School?
A．To give a speech to the graduates.
B．To help Obama win respect.
C．To welcome new students.
D．To give the graduates some advice.
14. According to Michelle, ________.
A．it's enough for the students to study well at school
B．she was a target of laughing at or bullying when studying at school
C．it's lucky for the students to study at Tennessee High School
D．few great men met with difficulties on their way to success
15. Why did Michelle mention Obama in the last paragraph?
A．To make the students know more about Obama.
B．To offer an example of overcoming difficulties.
C．To give advice on how to be a great man.
D．To talk about his failures.

Tips for cooking on a tight schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money and time. __16__Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1．Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? __17__
2．Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __18__ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3．__19__This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. __20__ And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A．Try new things.
B．Ability is easily improved.
C．Make three or four instead.
D．Understand your food better.
E．Cooking is a burden for many people.
F．Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

Ⅰ.第一节 A 【文章大意】 本文是议论文。文章讨论了昂贵的品牌值不值的问题。
1．A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Brands say ‘I belong’ or ‘I can afford it.’”可知，人们选择最热门的品牌是炫耀心理的原因。
2．C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products.” 和“Her friend Emmy Swan agrees…”可知，两个人的观点相同。

Ⅳ.During the weekend I travelled by air for the first time in my life. I usualusually travel by train or bus. It's both cheaper and safesafer. But to fly in the sky was something new to me. At the endbeginning/start I felt a little nervous. But very soon I became excitingexcited when I found memyself high up in the sky among the clouds. I also found that mountains, fields, riverrivers and so on waswere interestingly small. I enjoyenjoyed the frightening and comfortable journey very much. After all, it is more interesting ∧to take a plane than to take a car.
Ⅴ.One possible version：
Last weekend, I climbed the West Mountain with my classmates. All of us gathered at the gate of our school early in the morning, and then we set off by bus at 8：00 am. We were singing and chatting all the way, and reached the foot of the mountain an hour later.
The moment we arrived at the destination, we began to climb in high spirits. Soon we got to the top of the mountain. How beautiful it was when we looked at the view from the top! We sang, danced, played chess, and had the pictures taken on the top of the mountain. How happy we were! We went down the mountain after having lunch and arrived home at 3：00 pm, tired but happy.
The activity benefited us a lot. Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation from heavy schoolwork, it also promoted the friendship among us. What a wonderful time!
