His drawings --- often drawn from memory and at great speed --- are sketched(素描) on the spot at street level.‎ Stephen, who was born in London in 1974, didn't say a word as a small child, and found it hard to relate to other people. At the age of five, Stephen was sent to Queensmill School, London, where it soon became apparent(显然的) that he communicated through the language of drawing. His teachers encouraged him to speak by taking away his art materials for a short time; eventually he said his first words --- "paper" and "pencil" --- but didn't learn to speak fully until the age of nine.‎ Stephen loved drawing and he was seldom to be found without pen and paper. Once he took part in art competitions, news of his great talent began to spread. Early fans included the late Prime Minister Edward Heath who bought his drawing of Salisbury Cathedral, made when Stephen was just eight.‎ But Stephen came to wider public attention when the BBC featured him in the programme, "The Foolish Wise Ones" in 1987, when he was introduced by Sir Hugh Casson (a past president of the Royal Academy), as "the best child artist in Britain".‎ After that, Stephen's reputation(名声) grew worldwide. A second BBC documentary in 2001 showed Stephen flying over London in a helicopter and later completing a detailed drawing of London within three hours, which included 12 historic landmarks（地标性建筑）and 200 other structures.‎ In 2006 Stephen was recognised for his services to the art world, when he was made a member of the Order of the British Empire. Today wherever Stephen goes, people are attracted by his outstanding talent(才干).‎ ‎( )24. What problem did Stephen have when he was a small child? ‎ ‎ A. No schools wanted him. B. No teachers liked him.‎ ‎ C. He couldn’t speak. D. He couldn't spell.‎ ‎( )25. When did Stephen become world-famous?‎ ‎ A. After his second BBC documentary. ‎ B. After the programme "The Foolish Wise Ones".‎ ‎ C. After he met with the late Prime Minister Edward Heath.‎ ‎ D. After Sir Hugh Casson bought his drawing of Salisbury Cathedral.‎ ‎( )26. What is special about Stephen’s drawing of London?‎ ‎ A. It was his greatest work. B. It was drawn in a helicopter.‎ ‎ C. It featured historic landmarks. D. It was finished in a short time.‎ ‎( )27. The text is likely to appear in .‎ ‎ A. a novel B. a biography C. an official report D. a history paper C Mekong fresh water irrawaddy dolphin(短吻海豚) is an endangered species(濒危物种) throughout Asia, with reducing numbers inhabiting(栖息) stretches of the Mekong in Cambodia and Laos, and Bangladesh. The dolphin can live up to 30 years, grow up to 2.5m in length, and can weigh 150kg.‎ Fortunately for travelers, the dolphins have become a popular tourist attraction in recent years, providing a vital development to the local economy. Kratie, a sleepy provincial capital 7 hours by bus from Phnom Penh, is the best place to see them. The irrawaddy dolphins live in deep Mekong pool all year round and can be found at Kampi village 15km north of Kratie town, which has become a symbol of the town's rejuvenation after years of war and neglect. The trip to see the dolphin can be started at any time of the day from Kraie town and travel upstream around 30 minutes by car along a quiet paved road to Kampi, a riverside fishing village.‎ The dolphins can usually be seen right from the river bank, but it's worthwhile(值得的) to take a spotting cruise in one of the wooden long-tail boats available for hire. The irrawaddy dolphins won’t come right up to the boat like their gregarious(群居的) salt-water cousins, but they are easy to find, lying lazily about on the surface, or breaking water with a distinctive puff of spray while chasing fish.‎ The boat trip in drive season is only 60 minutes. The boat men will turn off the motor to approach the dolphins and sail with wooden oars, or simply make fast to a clump off brush when dolphins are nearby. In just over an hour on the boat, you will see the dolphins over a hundred times, at a range close enough to distinguish ‎（辨别） between individual animals.‎ ‎( )28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?‎ A. General information of irrawaddy dolph. B. The protection of irrawaddy dolphins.‎ C. The distribution of irrawaddy dolphins. D. The growth of irrawaddy dolphins.‎ ‎( )29. The underlined word "rejuvenation " in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”. ‎ A. destruction B. reunion C. recovery D. reform ‎( )30. Which of the following is the correct route to see irrawaddy dolphins? ‎ A. Kampi→Phnom Penh→Kratie B. Phnom Penh→Kampi→Kratie C. Kratie→phnom Penh→Kampi D. Phnom Penh→Kratie→Kampi ‎( )31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Irrawaddy dolphins can be watched closely. ‎ B. Irrawaddy dolphins are not afraid of people.‎ C. Irrawaddy dolphins like to come right up to the boat. ‎ D. Irrawaddy dolphins don't live in groups.‎ D Although the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have English as an official language, the United States does not have an official language. This is how it’s possible to become a US citizen without speaking English. Canada also has French as an official language, though it is mostly spoken in the province of Quebec. Because many of the English speakers who originally inhabited(居住) Canada came from the US, there is little difference in the American and Canadian dialects of English. Similarly, Australian and New Zealand English have few differences, except Australia was originally settled as a penal colony(流放地) and New Zealand was not.‎ British colonialism has spread English all over the world, and it still holds prestige(影响力) in South Africa, India, and Singapore, among other nations. In South Africa, English became an official language, along with Afrikaans and 9 African languages, in the 1996 constitution(宪法). However, only 3% of the country's 30‎ ‎ million people are native English speakers. Twenty percent are descendants(后代) of Dutch farmers who speak Afrikaans, and the rest are native Africans.‎ India became independent from Britain in 1947, and the English language was supposed to be phased out(淘汰) by 1965. However, today English and Hindi are the official languages. Indian English is characterized(具有…的特征) by treating mass nouns as count nouns, frequent(频繁的) use of the "isn’t it?" tag, use of more compounds, and a different use of prepositions. In Singapore, Chinese, Malay and Indian languages have an impact(影响) on the form of English spoken. Everyone is taught English in the school system, but there are a few differences from British English as well. Mass nouns are treated as count nouns, “use to” means usually, and no articles(冠词) are used before occupations(职业).‎ ‎( )32. Why can people become a US citizen without speaking English?‎ A. Different languages are spoken in the US. ‎ B. The US doesn’t have an official language.‎ C. They can speak their own language there. ‎ D. They can learn English there.‎ ‎( )33. Compared(比较) with Australian English, the English spoken by New Zealanders .‎ A. is closer to American English B. is a kind of old English C. is very similar in many ways D. is different from British English ‎( )34. What do we know about South Africa?‎ A. It has 11 different official languages.‎ B. English is its only official language.‎ C. 20 percent of its people are native English speakers. ‎ D. English is becoming less important there.‎ ‎( )35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The Indians are poor with English grammar.‎ B. Singaporean English is similar to Indian English.‎ C. People in Singapore tend to(倾向于) misuse count nouns.‎ D. English is a required subject in Singaporean schools.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。‎ ‎ Many people seem to love potatoes however they are cooked. But have you ever asked yourself where they came from?‎ It all started in Peru. There, people grew potatoes over 2,000 years ago. They weren’t like the ones we know today. 36 The first Europeans to try to plant potatoes were the Spanish. In 1537, Spanish explorers discovered people eating what they called “papas”. They brought this strange vegetable back to Spain in the 1550s.‎ People generally didn’t like the potato. Lots of other vegetables were introduced into Europe at the same time, like tomatoes and sweet potatoes, and people preferred those to the unattractive potatoes. 37 Very slowly, they spread through Europe. There is a story that King Louis XVI of France liked the potato and planted them in his royal garden. 38 ‎ So, what about chips? Well, the Belgians claim that they invented fried potatoes, although nobody really knows for sure. The first mention of “chips” in England is by the writer Charles Dickens in 1859. 39 The Americans call them “French fries” because soldiers from America went to France during the First World War and loved the dish. Now, the Americans eat over twenty million tons of chips a year.‎ Crisps are an American invention, although they call them “chips”. Everybody agrees that a Native chef, George Grum, made the first crisps in 1853. One day, a difficult customer wanted fried potatoes, sliced thinly. When they arrived, he said they weren't thin enough. 40 In the end, Crum got annoyed and sliced the potatoes as thinly as he could and fried them, and then added lots of salt. The dish was an immediate success.‎ Next time you are in your favourite fast food place eating chips with your friends, amaze them with your potato knowledge!‎ A. He kept sending them back to be cooked again.‎ B. The original potatoes were smaller and tasted bitter.‎ C. He mentioned “chips of potato” fried in oil in one of his books.‎ D. He asked the fried potatoes to be mixed with butter and cheese.‎ E. They were found to be a good source of vitamins(维生素), surprisingly.‎ F. Ordinary people stole them and planted them in their own gardens.‎ G. They were given to slaves and prisoners, because they were so cheap.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ Many little kids dream of changing the world, but how does someone so 41 make a difference to a place so big?

We need you to come to our Energy Building by 3:00 this afternoon. I can pick you up at Green Park. ‎ M: OK. I know Green Park. It’s next to Grand Hotel.‎ ‎(Text 2) ‎ M: I’ll have to attend a lecture on Wednesday, so let’s discuss this further at the Friday meeting. ‎ W: Unfortunately, I’ll be leaving for London on Thursday afternoon. Maybe we can talk that morning over breakfast. ‎ ‎(Text 3)‎ M: Is it possible to get a guided tour of the islands? W: Yes, just sign up in the same office where you hired the boats. M: I wonder if we can get a cheaper price since there are six of us.‎ ‎(Text 4)‎ M: Celia, I’ve got Mrs. Robinson coming in 10 minutes and I can’t find her file.‎ W: I put it on your desk last night before I left.‎ M: Those are the letters we had this week. I can only find the letters.‎ W: I put the case file as well as the notebook with the letters. Here they are.‎ ‎(Text 5)‎ M: Look! How curly your hair is now!‎ W: Too many curls, if you ask me, I look like a dog. And I don’t like the color. M: Your old style was too straight. W: I liked my hair when it was straight.‎ ‎(Text 6)‎ W: Patrick! Hurry up! We’re going to miss the flight! M: I can’t find my passport. Help me look for it.‎ W: Didn’t you put it in your leather jacket last night?‎ M: Oh yes! Brilliant! Got it! Now we can go. It’s only 4:30. We still have two hours.‎ W: But getting to the airport will take us nearly an hour. And we have to get to the airport by 5:30 for check-in. The bus will take long for sure if we wait for it. Why don’t we take a taxi to the airport?‎ M: It’s too expensive. And if there’s a traffic jam we’ll get stuck in that too. Let’s just take the subway. That’ll be the fastest and we don’t have to worry about traffic jams.‎ W: OK. ‎ ‎(Text 7)‎ W: What would you like? Coffee or tea? M: Coffee, please. How do you see your future, Cathy?
