It is a traditional festival for Chinese people. It comes from a romantic ancient Chinese story. Niu Lang and Zhi Nv，two lovers who got separated by the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens，can only meet that night. Thanks to this touching story, Chinese people regard people also call it “Qixi.‎ Meanwhile, February 14 of the solar calendar is European Valentine's Day. It is related ‎ to a moving story too. The story goes that，there was a cruel king in ancient Rome whose name was Claudius. He forbade the youth to get married during the wars, which made the lovers angry. There was a monk named Valentine who was very angry at the rule and the king. One day a couple of lovers came to his temple to ask for help to get married. Valentine helped them. Later, many couples got married with Valentine's help. But Claudius knew it soon. He put Valentine to death cruelly. And that day was February 14, the year of 270.‎ Compared with European Valentine's Day, Qixi is less popular in China though it is a traditional Chinese festival. There may be many reasons. First of all, the lunar calendar is not easy to remember for most of the young people who are used to the solar calendar. Secondly, to many businessmen, European Valentine's Day is not only a festival for lovers but also a good chance to make money. Most of the flower shops can sell their flowers at a good price on European Valentine's Day while the business drops in Qixi, because on European Valentine's Day lovers know more about how to enjoy it. They exchange cards, flowers and go out to date. But most of them don’t know culture of Chinese Valentine's Day or how to celebrate it.‎ ‎ 21. This text is mainly about A. two moving romantic stories B. something about Qixi and Valentine's ‎ C. why young people prefer Western festivals D. how Qixi is different from European Valentine's Day 22. Qixi is less popular than European Valentine's Day because . 　　A. businessmen think that European Valentine's Day is more important than Qixi B. the government encourages people to celebrate foreign festivals C. the costs on Qixi are higher than those on European Valentine's Day D. the lunar calendar is not easy to remember and people don’t know how to enjoy Qixi ‎23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?‎ A. Lovers exchange cards, flowers and go out to date on Qixi.‎ B. Valentine helped a couple of lovers kill the cruel king.‎ C. European Valentine’s Day was named after a person.‎ D. Old people in China dislike young people celebrating European Valentine’s Day 24. If the text goes on, what will probably be talked about in the next paragraph?‎ A. Young people should fight for love and happiness.‎ B. Chinese people should treasure traditional Chinese festivals more.‎ C. Qixi will also become an international festival in the future.‎ D. Chinese people should stop celebrating European Valentine’s Day.‎ B Since 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals(壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.‎ The walls that were once ugly with graffiti(涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program(MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops; some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.‎ The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区).When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets”, “Love and Care” and “Peace Walk”.‎ The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. ‎ ‎“The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history,” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

D. Successful.‎ C Boxing (拳击) matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists (赤手空拳) for prize money. Because of this, they were known as “prize fighters". However, boxing was crude, for there were no rules and a prize fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match. 　　One of the most colorful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764.The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the marquis (侯爵) of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. He brought science to the game. Even to this day, Mendoza enjoyed great popularity. He was loved by rich and poor alike.‎ Mendoza‎ rose to fame quickly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was the most famous boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarreled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned large sums of money and was paid as much as ￡100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman ‎ Jackson‎, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.‎ 29. What's the meaning of the underlined word “extravagant” in the last paragraph? A. Poor. B. Generous. C. Wasteful. D. Helpless.‎ 30. Why did Richard Humphries offer to train Mendoza? A. Because young Mendoza showed his unusual gift for the game.‎ B. Because the match Mendoza had attended led to his early fame. C. Because Humphries wanted to make himself a superior boxer to Mendoza. D. Because Humphries wanted to train Mendoza as his assistant.‎ 31. Which of the following is NOT true? A. 200 years ago, boxers were more likely to get seriously injured.‎ B. Mendoza has never been remembered since he was beaten.‎ C. Mendoza earned a lot of money but his money ran out quickly.‎ D. Humphries became Mendoza's teacher at first but enemy in the end. 32. After the matches between Humphries and Mendoza, . A. Mendoza lost much money to the public B. Humphries got much money from the public C. Humphries became champion of England after an hour's fight.‎ D. they finally settled their argument.‎ D By 1990, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers were still alive throughout the world--half of them in India. Mr.Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, judged that in May 1972 only about 1.800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger supported by WWF was immediately started. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them. 　　The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the protecting areas and gather formerly unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory (领土) of between 10 and 20 square kilometers, depending on its age, size and strength. 　　The territory of a male includes the smaller areas of three or four tigresses. A tiger ‎ marks the boundaries of its area by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the clear body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males. 　　The popular mental picture of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 animals it tries to attack. 　　Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80's) but India's human population has also grown out of control. At present it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. The land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man have added to the hatred (a very strong feeling of dislike). 33. The final aim of Project Tiger is to . A. study the growth rate of tigers B. improve the breeding (养育) of young tigers C. protect tigers from being killed D. analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers 34. Studies have shown that .‎ A. a tigress never attacks until attacked ‎ B. the tigress is not as fierce as the tiger C. a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territory D. The tiger is not a good hunter as is commonly described ‎35. Some people are afraid that Project Tiger .‎ A. has been carried too far B. has failed to achieve its goal C. has not received enough attention D. is not worth the money spent on it 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。 ‎ A punctual (守时的) person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment. The unpunctual man, on the other hand ，never does what he has to do at the right time. 36 There's a proverb which says, “Time flies never to be recalled.” This is true. 37 ‎ Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting his most precious possessions as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. 38 He knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work only if he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to. 　　 39 If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as rude both to the host and the other guests.‎ Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to one's duty. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks fail to be at their proper place at the appointed time. 40 ‎ A. They appear to be busy but never get well paid.‎ B. He is always in a hurry and ends up losing time.‎ C. Maybe nobody cares being kept waiting at a dinner party.‎ D. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained.‎ E. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time.‎ F. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by others.‎ G. Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointment is a sign of disrespect towards others.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ It was over 20 years ago.
