五、阅读理解
History tells us that footwear was one of the first things ancient people learned to make. Footwear helped them across rocky paths or hot sands without injuring themselves. The earliest footwear we know of was simply a piece of plaited(编织的) grass or leather tied to the feet.
The ancient Egyptians seem to have invented the first footwear with a firm sole(鞋底) — sandals. Egyptian royalty usually wore sandals that had a different style from those with lower status(身份), while slaves were not allowed to wear anything on their feet. The sandal is still the basic form of footwear in many countries, particularly those with a hot climate, whereas in cold climates, an entirely different type of shoe appeared — the moccasin — a slipper-shaped shoe made of soft but strong leather.
The Greeks were the first to develop shoes with heels(鞋跟). Then, in the Middle Ages, shoes with long points at the toe became very chic for the nobility. These shoes were often very difficult to wear. Other trends followed, with square-toed shoes, wide shoes, and even shoes that could make a woman stand two feet taller. Not surprisingly, these sometimes led to accidents. Even today, fashion rather than comfort often leads to the kind of shoes women wear.
Mechanical shoemaking appeared in the 1800s in North America. Until then, shoes had been made with the same kinds of hand tools used by the ancient Egyptians. And in 1858, a machine was invented that could stitch(缝合) the sole of a shoe to the upper part. Now it was possible to make shoes that were shaped to fit either the left or right foot. Toward the end of the 1800s came a new type of shoe that was specifically designed for sports — the sneaker — and it soon become an all-time favorite.
30. What did shoes often show in ancient times?
A. The rich resources. B. People’s different beliefs.
C. People’s status in society. D. The changeable climates.
31. What does the underlined word “chic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. valuable. B. convenient. C. fashionable. D. comfortable.
32. Before mechanical shoemaking appeared, _____.
A. shoes were often very difficult for people to wear.
B. all the shoe patterns made by the Greeks were the same.
C. the only function of footwear was to protect people’s feet.
D. people wore the same-shaped shoes on their two feet
33. How does the text mainly develop?
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.

六、七选五
The first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. 34 But the British Isles only became islands separated from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel!
3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming. 35 Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.
Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle of huge stones begun about 4,500 years ago. Stonehenge is the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. 36
3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before. 37 A bit later iron started to be used for tools and weapons instead of bronze. Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about 500 BC.
What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the remains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2,000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don’t have any written record of Britain until the Romans came. 38
A. That was almost 300 years after he did!
B. As a result, people had to move down from high ground.
C. Because of the climate change, much of the ice has melted.
D. Many archaeologists believe that Britain was once covered by ice.
E. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead bodies.
F. They were hunters and gatherers of food, who used stone tools and weapons.
G. We don’t know what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.

八、短文改错
My son is discovering the beauty of English literature. Last year at school they acted quite a few scene from Shakespeare, and he had quite an important part to play in. He soon became very enthusiastic and could be heard at all hours of the day practicing my part. He practiced such a long time that his throat must have ached. He spent all the time on it act the role perfectly. This year he is reading novels by Dickens. He always goes to see the films made from these novels, but tries to read the novel beforehand so that he can judge the film much well. I’m not sure whether this is always the good thing. Recently, he had become fond of reading the poems writing by famous writers. I believe in the future, my son will be a brilliantly judge of films.

30.推理判断题。根据第二段可知，古埃及人发明了第一种有坚固的鞋底的鞋——凉鞋。埃及皇室通常穿着与那些较低身份的人不同风格的凉鞋，而奴隶则不允许穿任何东西。由此可知，在古代，鞋表明不同的社会身份，故选C。
31.词义猜测题。根据划线词后内容可知，这些鞋通常很难穿。其他的流行趋势紧随其后，有方头鞋、宽头鞋，甚至还有能让女人增高两英尺的鞋。由此可以推断，在中世纪，脚趾上有长尖的鞋子对贵族来说是一种流行趋势，是时髦的，因此推断chic和fashionable意思相近。故选C。
32.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，机械制鞋业出现在19世纪的北美。在此之前，鞋子是用古埃及人使用的相同种类的手工工具制作的。由此可知，在机械制鞋业出现之前，人们穿的是同样形状的鞋子。故选D。
