As the second on the planet by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle System is one of the most common and useful shares，largely because it’s combined with public transportation：a single card can be used in subway，bus，taxi and bike sharing. Residents and tourists can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about﹩33) and ride for an hour for free in this scenic city. Each additional hour costs only﹩0.15.

Because this system covers the city with an average of 50 stations per square mile, it’s a favourite with both locals and tourists．‎ ‎21. What do we know about Barcelona’s Bicycling Program？‎ A.

However, this time it is not for a new scientific breakthrough, but because of two handwritten notes the scientist gave a bellboy 95 years ago.‎ The story goes something like this. In October 1922, Einstein was invited to Tokyo to deliver lectures. As the scientist was making his way from Europe to Japan, he received a telegram informing him that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Though pleased at the news, he decided to continue with his Japanese trip instead of heading to Stockholm to accept the honor.‎ When in Tokyo, he penned two notes in German. One of them, written on a piece of plain paper, said, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”‎ Why did Einstein write the notes? Some believe they were to express Einstein’s delight at the reception he received from the people of Japan who crowded to attend the laureate’s (获奖者)lectures. Others think they were specially written for a bellboy who came to deliver a message, either because the scientist did not have loose change to tip him, or because the messenger refused to accept tips. Regardless of the reason, Einstein purportedly told the bellboy, “Maybe if you are lucky, those notes will become much more valuable than just a regular tip.” He was right!‎ Earlier this year, the bellboy’s nephew decided to part with the letters and handed them to Winner’s Auctions and Exhibitions. The “theory of happiness” brought the owner an astonishing $1.56 million from a European buyer. The second note, which opened at $1,000, and expected to fetch a maximum of $6,000, sold for $240,000!‎ ‎24.What made Einstein become people’s focus again?‎ A. The theory of relativity. B. His new concepts of space. ‎ C. The notes written by himself. D. His notes about his theory.‎ ‎25.Where did Einstein write the words?‎ ‎ A. Bern. B. Stockholm. C. Germany. D. Japan.‎ ‎26.How were Einstein’s lectures?‎ ‎ A. They had a great effect. B. They attracted a lot of people. ‎ ‎ C. They successfully inspired people. D. They were hard to understand.‎ ‎27. How might the owner of the notes feel about the deal?‎ ‎ A. Disappointed. B. Curious. C. Unfair. D. Unexpected.‎ C ‎ America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.‎ ‎ Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily, but truly can’t manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.‎ ‎ Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes,‎ For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home !‎ ‎28. Where are we expected to call our American friends if we go there by plane?‎ A. On the bus. B. At the airport. C. Near their home. D. At our own hotel.‎ ‎29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.‎ B. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.‎ C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.‎ D. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.‎ ‎30. Which is the typical way of American hospitality?‎ A. Treating friends at home. B. Sharing everything they have.‎ C. Taking days off to be with friends. D. Meeting friends at the airport at midnight.‎ ‎31. In which part of a newspaper can this article be found?‎ A. Culture. B. News. C. Story. D. Travel. ‎ D Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment(损伤) might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.‎ Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big a radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.‎ A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone ‎ carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.‎ The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.‎ ‎32. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.‎ B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.‎ C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.‎ D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.‎ ‎33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?‎ A. How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.‎ B. Phone users can make more money with new networks.‎ C. The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.‎ D. Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.‎ ‎34. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in ________.‎ A. matching numbers B. reading signals ‎ C. remembering shapes D. learning words ‎35. What might be the best title for the text?‎ A. Cell phone use and safety warnings B. Facts about cell phone use at school C. Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens D. Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems 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。‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 36__ Here is how to make one.‎ ‎ ● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.‎ ‎ ● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities.

D。前面问的是 What does time look like，再结合后面的 Time is abstract (抽象的) 来看，此处说的是“时间既看不见，也摸不着”，故用 touch。‎ ‎44. B。前面说时间既看不见又摸不着，再结合钱的功能可推测，该句说的是“时间是不能用一定数量的钱能买得到的”。‎ ‎45. D。前面分别提到时间不能看、摸，也不能用钱买，时间是抽象的，由此可推测我们只能“思考”它。‎ ‎46. A。有些同学把时间用在了看戏、看电影和逛公园上，当然他们就没有足够的时间来复习功课了，故用 enough。‎ ‎47. C。从后面的 they waste it in going to theatres, cinemas… 可知他们不知道如何利用时间。make use of 为固定短语，意为“利用”。‎ ‎48. A。从前部分 They waste it in going to theatres, cinemas and parks 来看，此处指的是上述列举内容外的东西，故用 other 修饰 things。‎ ‎49. D。从上下文来看，这里说的是人们为何学习与工作，与前面说的study平行，故此处用 work。‎ ‎50. D。由 instead of walking 可推测这里说的是交通问题，故用take，即为什么多数人乘车而不步行? take buses 是常见搭配，意为“乘车”。‎ ‎51.C 前面是三个 Why 引导的问句，最后 We wish to save time because time is… 是对这三个问题的回答，故此处说的是这三个问题的答案，即答案很简单，就是我们希望节省时间。‎ ‎52. B。从前面所说的多数人靠乘车代替步行来看，这里说的是“我们应节省时间，因为时间很珍贵”。‎ ‎53. A。从后面的 When a person dies, his life…Since life is short… 来看，本段是把时间比作生命，即谈论时间的珍贵。‎ ‎54. C。从 When a person dies 可推测，“他的生命也就完结了”，故用ends。‎ ‎55. B。此处说的是“我们要把我们的时间和精力投入到学习中”。devote one’s time and energy to sth. 意为“把时间和精力投入到某事中”。‎ ‎56. C。从语境来看，这里是告诫人们“人生短暂，要把时间和精力放在学习上，以便以后更好地为人民服务”。serve the people 意为“为人民服务”。‎ ‎57. D。从后面说“它不仅给我们带来失败，而且还带来了其他的危害”来看，这里应选 thief，即“懒惰是时间的窃贼”。‎ ‎58. B。前面说懒惰带给我们失败，此处是进一步说懒惰还带给我们其他的危害。do sb. harm 是固定短语，意为“给某人带来危害”。‎ ‎59. A。从前面所给的条件 If it is necessary for us to do our work today来看，这里表示“我们今天能做的事情就不要留到明天来做”，故用 leave。‎ ‎60. C。从整篇文章来看，这里说的是时间珍贵，我们要珍惜时间。句意为“切记时间比金钱更有珍贵”，这与文章观点吻合。‎ Text 1‎ W: Sir, I think you made a mistake on the bill. You left 100-dollar tip. (1) Did you mean $10?‎ M: No, I didn’t. You worked hard.

Every time I pass by your classroom, it’s dark. ‎ W: Well, Mr. Taylor, (13) I keep it dark because it helps the children be calmer. ‎ M: That’s a very bad idea. The children will just be less happy. They need more sunlight. Please keep the curtains open all the time. (14)‎ W: But then they act very wild! (14) They run around a lot and fight with each other.‎ M: Do you take the children outside to play on the playground?‎ W: Usually, I don’t. It takes away time from their lessons.‎ M: You should take them outside for at least an hour during the day. (15) If you do that, the children will be more likely to sit quietly while you teach them. My students are very quiet after they run around outside. (13) (16)‎ W: OK, I’ll try it. M: I hope you will. If you don’t, I’ll have to tell the headmaster.‎ Text 10‎ Jurong Bird Park is Southeast Asia’s largest bird park. (17) It’s home to over 5000 birds from all over the world. Jurong Bird Park is one of the most famous places to view birds. The birds live in areas within the park that are just like their natural environments. Located at the west end of Singapore, the park has a lot of room for visitors to walk around. (18) This way, guests have a good opportunity to see the birds. In one area of the park, there is a 30-meter-high waterfall and over 100 types of plants. (19) Visitors can enjoy getting close to the birds during several different daily feeding time and shows. One, called Breakfast with the Birds, runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Another is the All Stars Bird Show. It happens in the evening, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (20)‎ ‎ ‎
