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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．
A
The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for
your family, the community and the environment.
The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to
your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.
Better for the environment
Sustainabilityand global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and
many
people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried
out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North
American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and
refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.
Taste and nutritional content
Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness(成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.
Community and home values
When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a
time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.
21.
It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ___________.
A.
global warming is the most serious problem now
B.
North American food is rich in various kinds of materials
C.
the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers
D.
most people support buying locally
22.
Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because___________.
A.
they are picked when they are fully grown
B.
they are not polluted by chemical fertilizer
C.
they can be harvested at any time
D.
they are sent to the market at a high speed
23.
According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ___________.
A.
you can see how fruits and vegetables grow
B.
you will contribute to protecting the environment
C.
you will become much healthier and prettier
D.
you are making money from your community
24.
What does the passage mainly talk about
A.
The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.
B.
The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.
C.
The importance of protecting the environment.
D.
The benefits of buying locally.
B
Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy, but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable, researchers say.
Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their
lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones.
While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy, the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard
Tunney said, “Whatever the reason is, actively working on friendships in the same way as to
maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness. ”
Dr. Tunney, of Nottingham University, quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction
with their lives and the state of their friendships. Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy.
In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy. Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy. The happiest
people were those with dozens of friends, according to the study, which was carried out for the
National Lottery(彩票).
　　For women, this meant having 33 friends;for men, the number was 49. Dr. Tunney said,
“People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people
who were extremely dissatisfied. ” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed
tighter relationships.
Interestingly, the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than
people we become close to later in life. Lottery winners, however, have a different
opinion on life. They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a
small circle of old friends. This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a
long time.
25.
What’s the best title for this passage
A.
The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends
B.
Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy
C.
Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly
D.
Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different
26.
Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with
A.
People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.
B.
Our friends can make us happy.
C.
Happiness may come from a good marriage life.
D.
We may become happier if we have more friends.
27.
According to the passage, lottery winners ________.
A.
enjoy making new friends
B.
make new friends easily
C.
like staying with old friends
D.
have no time to make friends
28.
We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A.
it’s enough for one person to have ten friends
B.
unhappy people must have few friends
C.
childhood friends make people happier than adulthood ones
D.
friendships play a major role in people’s life
C
Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working woman in the book businessUnlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her
research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to divide into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, s
he worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer
which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture

books for children to help them deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and
new
schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her was shot to the top
of the
New York Times
best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty eight of her books have been
made into films.
She is listed in the Guinness Books of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle
Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by
e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention. Her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and
her inimitable style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
29.
Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know ________.
A.
how to deal with affairs at school
B.
what to do if Max and Martha die
C.
what to do when new babies are born into their families
D.
how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes
30.
One of Danielle Steel' a achievements is that ________.
A.
some TV plays were based on her books
B.
her picture books attracted a lot of young men
C.
one of her books became a best-seller in 1998
D.
she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records
31.
We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel ________.
A.
lives an exciting life
B.
values her readers a lot
C.
writes about quiet women
D.
is pleased with her achievements
D
Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a
passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance(承) or it can be just to impress
people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are
many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but
they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just
borrow books to read at home.
From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For
example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to
making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to
that.
Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart
the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in
the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves
with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems
and how to react in certain circumstances.
To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere(干涉) in
conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.
32.
The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.
A.
go to libraries on weekends
B.
buy expensive books in the bookstore
C.
keep many books in their studies
D.
have much interest in reading
33.
We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.
A.
we can bring kings and queens back to life
B.
what we read can be useful in our daily life
C.
it is very good for us to stay alone for some hours
D.
we can make friends with the people in the stories
34．
The underlined word“erudite”in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A.
hard-working
B.
enthusiastic
C.
learned
D.
creative
35.
What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？
A.
To advise readers to like reading.
B.
To explain the true meaning of reading.
C.
To tell readers how to read a book.
D.
To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown. Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger. You may probably miss your friends from high
school.36
College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends. The question
is: how
▲Get to know your roommate.
You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate, but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding the two of
you may become best friends.
▲　
37
　
If you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors. As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello. Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and
those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold.
Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.
▲Join clubs or organizations.
　　Getting involved in organized societies is a great way to meet new people.　
38　By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of
people with whom you share common interests.

　Starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are
interested in the same kind of studies as you are. Short friendly discussions can build
lifelong friendships.

When
I
was
13
my
only
purpose
was
to
become
the
star
on
our
football
team.
That
meant
41
Miller
King,
who
was
the
best
42
at
our
school.
Football
season
started
in
September
and
all
summer
long
I
worked
out.
I
carried
my
football
everywhere
for
43
.
Just
before
September,
Miller
was
struck
by
a
car
and
lost
his
right
arm.
I
went
to
see
him
after
he
came
back
from
44
.
He
looked
very
45
,
but
he
didn’t
cry.
That
season,
I
46
all
of
Miller’s
records
while
he
47
the
home
games
from
the
bench.
We
went
10-1
and
I
was
named
most
valuable
player,
48
I
often
had
crazy
dreams
in
which
I
was
to
blame
for
Miller’s
49
.
One
afternoon,
I
was
crossing
the
field
to
go
home
and
saw
Miller
50
going
over
a
fence—which
wasn’t
51
to
climb
if
you
had
both
arms.
I’m
sure
I
was
the
last
person
in
the
world
he
wanted
to
accept
52
from.
But
even
that
challenge
he
accepted.
I
53
him
move
slowly
over
the
fence.
When
we
were
finally
54
on
the
other
side,
he
said
to
me,
“You
know,
I
didn’t
tell
you
this
during
the
season,
but
you
did
55
.
Thank
you
for
filling
in
for
56
.”
His
words
freed
me
from
my
bad
57
.
I
thought
to
myself,
how
even
without
an
arm
he
was
more
of
a
leader.
Damaged
but
not
defeated,
he
was
58
ahead
of
me.
I
was
right
to
have
59
him.
From
that
day
on，I
grew
60
and
a
little
more
real.

Have you ever seen the TV show “where are we going, Dad ” It is now without doubt the most popular TV show in China, attracting over 600 million viewers each week.
In this program, several fathers,　61
are all well known in China, take care of their
kids alone　62
the help of the children’s mothers. They also take part in different kinds
of activities with their kids together, such as cooking, fishing and　63
　(sell) goods.
　　
One reason why the show is so popular is
64
it reflects social reality.
In big cities, fathers are always　
65　busy with their jobs to spare(挤出) time for their kids. Meanwhile, large numbers of fathers from the countryside　66
　_(come) to big cities over the years, leaving their kids at home under the grandparents’
care. Xu Canyong, a 33-year-old man　
67
　(employ) in a company in Shantou,
Guangdong Province, said, “I have a son and a daughter in my hometown. I miss　
68　 very much.”
　　Xie Dikui, the director of the show, said that he was also　69
　(move) by the program. “

　these fathers are busy, they manage to spare time for
their kids. We can do as well as them.”

Dear
Ms.
Jenkins,
I’m
Li
Hua.
I’m
writing
to
tell
you
something
about
my
plan
for
the
coming
summer
vacation
and
I
also
want
you
to
do
me
a
favor.
In
order
to
get
some
practical
experience,
I’m
planning
to
take
a
part-time
job
in
a
foreign
capital
company.
I
have
already
finished
my
job
application
and
personal
resume.
But
this
is
the
first
time
that
I
have
(been)
written
an
application
and
the
personnel
resume,
so
I
don’t
even
know
if
there
is
something
to
pay
attention
to.
Therefore,
I’m
writing
you
the
letter,
hoping
you
can
give
me
some
help.
I
will
be
very
grateful
if
you
can
help
me
with
words
and
format.
I’m
looking
forward
to
your
reply.
Yours,
Li
Hua
