Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.‎ ‎9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P. , 47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.‎ ‎9:50 Mrs F. , 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old-age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.‎ ‎10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out. D. father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up four children, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.‎ ‎11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctors wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two ‎ dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.‎ ‎21. What did Henry P. do when he was caught?‎ A. He damaged the pub. ‎ B. He attacked the police.‎ C. He bothered other customers. ‎ D. He quarreled with his boss.‎ ‎22. How would the author feel about Mrs F.’s life?‎ A. Active. B. Amusing. C. Pitiful. D. Ridiculous.‎ ‎23. Who had the unclear motivation for his/her crime?‎ A. Henry P.. B. Mrs F.. C. Peter D.. D. Mrs A..‎ B The full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?‎ The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.‎ The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.‎ There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.‎ ‎24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?‎ A. It looks different. B. It becomes large.‎ C. Its color disappears. D. Its shape changes.‎ ‎25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?‎ A. It turns orange. B. It comes nearer.‎ C. It goes farther. D. It gets through dust.‎ ‎26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?‎ A. They are low on earth. ‎ B. They are large objects.‎ C. They can affect our judgment. ‎ D. They can attract our attention.‎ ‎27. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. The size of the moon often changes.‎ B. We do not see the moon as it really is.‎ C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.‎ D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.‎ C The sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him.‎ Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe(烟斗) and its magic power meant nothing.‎ Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.‎ Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.‎ ‎“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”‎ ‎“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”‎ Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.‎ ‎28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?‎ A. A poor life. B. A new life. ‎ C. A happy life. D. A modem life.‎ ‎29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?‎ A. He felt sorry for his mother.‎ B. He couldn’t help the family.‎ C. He had run away from school.‎ D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.‎ ‎30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?‎ A. It’s broad. B. It’s warm. ‎ C. It’s false. D. It’s secret.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. An Interesting Pipe B. A Powerful Smile C. Unconditional Love D. Magic Trust D The next time your face turns red after tripping(绊倒) over your own feet in public, don’t try to hide it—a new study finds that showing your embarrassment actually makes other people view you as more reliable.‎ Researchers at the University‎ of ‎California have carried out the study and found that embarrassment is a good signature of a person to whom you can entrust valuable resources.‎ Not only are the findings useful for people seeking cooperative and reliable team members and business partners, but they also make for helpful dating advice.“Moderate(适度的) levels of embarrassment are signs of virtue. Our data suggests embarrassment is a good thing, not something you should fight.” said Matthew Feinberg, who led the study.‎ While the most typical gesture of embarrassment is a downward gaze to one side while partly covering the face, a person who feels shame, as distinguished(区别) from embarrassment, will typically cover the whole face, Feinberg said.‎ The results were got from a series of experiments. In the first experiment, 60 college students were videotaped describing embarrassing moments, such as making incorrect assumptions(假想) based on appearances. The college students also participated in the “Dictator Game” which is used in economics research to measure altruism(利己主义). For example, each was given 10 raffle tickets(奖券) and asked to keep a share of the tickets and give the reminder to a partner.‎ The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, showed that those who showed greater levels of embarrassment tended to give away more of their raffle tickets, indicating(﹦showing) greater generosity. ‎ ‎ 32．According to the passage, which of the following is thought to be reliable?‎ A．A person who feels shame.‎ B．A person who hides his embarrassment.‎ C．A person who shows his embarrassment.‎ D．A person who gives away more raffle tickets.‎ ‎33．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.‎ A．it’s useless to fight our embarrassment B．people should try to overcome their embarrassment C．embarrassed people are not good at doing business D．people who show embarrassment can be good business partners ‎34．The “Dictator Game ” is used to _________. ‎ A．measure the students’ economic status B．test whether a student is generous or not C．determine the different levels of embarrassment D．record how each student reacts during embarrassing moments ‎35．We learn from the last paragraph that those who showed greater levels of embarrassment ____.‎ A．proved to be more generous B．kept more of the raffle tickets C．didn’t care for raffle tickets D．were less reliable 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。 ‎ In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game. In the fine department stores, of course, buyers pay the prices listed on the tags (标签). 36 ‎ Suppose a merchant is a Mexican shopkeeper who sells handmade silver jewelry to tourists. 37 The merchant（商人） names a price. Immediately the tourist makes a much lower offer. The price the merchant puts on an article is not usually the price which will finally be paid. But the merchant pretends to be shocked. 38 It takes a long time to make such remarkable earrings. But at great sacrifice the merchant will let the tourist have the earrings at a lower price. The two bargain. The tourist comes up a little, and then the merchant comes down a little. At last they agree on what both consider to be a fair price.‎ ‎ 39 The merchant may talk about life in the village or mention interesting sights the tourist should see before leaving Mexico.‎ The merchant’s way of doing business is much older than the supermarket way. It dates back to Old World times when the town market was the only place where people could exchange news and visit with friends. 40 ‎ In Mexico today, bargaining still makes life interesting for some merchants.‎ A. The buyers found bargaining really interesting.‎ B. Bargaining made their lives a little more colorful.‎ C. While the two bargain, they speak of other things as well.‎ D. Among the items of jewelry is a pair of earrings a tourist wants to buy.‎ E. But in most villages, bargaining is a game both buyers and sellers enjoy.‎ F. While in mountain areas, the buyers and sellers have to bargain every day.‎ G. The tourist is told that the earrings are real silver, made by people living in the mountains.‎ 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。‎ Walking across campus(校园) with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in 41 of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed. And I, 42 , felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus 43 with a false smile plastered (粘贴) across my face. I was simply 44 to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get 45 , smile. No matter where you are, a smile will always be understood. A smile is 46 .

They did so 65 (part) because they know that in a few years, his parents will move in with them.
