There are some places which are probably ‎ a mere walk away from your college.‎ King’s Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.‎ You could attend a class teaching you how to “learn from the masters” or get more creative with paint ---- free of charge.‎ The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.‎ The Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.‎ The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.‎ Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.‎ The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called “Hissing Sid” is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.‎ Byron’s Pool Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.‎ It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf ---- over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.‎ ‎21. The main idea of this passage is _____.‎ A. some places for weekend break B. interesting stories about Lord Byron C. an approach to becoming creative in art D. the colorful life in the countryside ‎22. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are_____.‎ A.common insects B.impressive plants ‎ C.rarely-seen snakes D.wildlife-enthusiasts ‎23. The author’s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show _____.‎ A. she was a famous writer B. she was keen on swimming C. she was Byron’s admirer D. Byron’s Pool is a pleasant place B Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.‎ As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.‎ When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention,” she says. Then her father,who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.‎ Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith,” she says. “A couple more strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You can do it.”‎ Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.‎ Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”‎ ‎24.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?‎ A .She was driving home. B. She was resting on the road.‎ C. She was taking exercise. D. She was feeding wild animals.‎ ‎25. What did Alexis do to save Sue?‎ A. She pushed the deer away. B. She hit the deer with her feet C. She drove the car to hit the deer. D. She beat the deer with a hammer.‎ ‎26. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?‎ A. Brave. B. Cruel. C. Energetic. D. Strong.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman C. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack C No one would much like the idea of eating 61 pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easy-to-swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中风) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow.‎ Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管). A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(灵活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease--responsible for 180,000 deaths a year--and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes.‎ ‎ They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(关节炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer.‎ Each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in tomatoes fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(胆固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease.‎ Preliminary results from a two-month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to improve the function of the endothelium -- the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise. ‎ Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge University’s clinical trials unit, said “These results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.”‎ Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol-lowing drugs.‎ Mike Knapton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, that’s a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”‎ ‎28. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?‎ A. We can eat too much tomato food.‎ B. Tomatoes are helpful to strokes and heart attacks.‎ C. Tomatoes will lose healthy elements when put into pills.‎ D. We had better not eat tomatoes.‎ ‎29. We can learn from the passage that the pills_________.‎ A. are at the experiment stage B. can cure all the disease C. are widely used among patients D. cost patients so little money ‎30. Who were the volunteers by taking part in the trial?‎ A. Children. B. Youth. ‎ C. Working people. D. Old healthy people.‎ ‎31. What was Ian Wilkinson’s opinion on the trial?‎ A. Surprising. B. Disappointing. C. Satisfactory. D. Terrible.‎ D ‎“Heaven (天堂) is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”‎ Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.‎ ‎“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and ‎ others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.‎ If national stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism (个人主义) has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.‎ Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.‎ We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.‎ ‎32. The stereotype about Italians is ______.‎ A. strict but thoughtful B. friendly and good-tempered C. dreamy and impractical D. romantic but disorganized ‎ ‎33. National stereotypes are not always correct because______.‎ A. they are formed by individual historians B. people tend to have false idea about other cultures C. what was true in the past may not be true at the present D. generalizations are made through personal experience ‎34. According to the research team led by McCrae, national stereotypes are ______.‎ A. unreliable B. harmful C. humorous D. interesting ‎35. The underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means______.‎ A. anxious B. fixed C. helpless D. forgetful 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ Handwriting can make or break the first impression.

You may be amazed at the change in your handwriting just by changing to another pen.‎ ‎38 Do not just do what feels comfortable because that is just your old bad habit coming back into play.
