But the other night an old woman shattered my belief that a glib（非诚恳的）response could smooth over the rough spots of dealing with other human beings.‎ ‎        The moment she entered the store, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. On a zero-degree night, she was wearing only a faded print dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined legs.‎ ‎        After strolling around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up some corn niblets and stared with a strange intensity at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good employee and asked her if she needed help.‎ ‎        “I need some food,” she muttered（嘟囔）in reply to my bright “Can I help you?”‎ ‎        “Are you looking for corn, ma’am?”‎ ‎        “I need some food,” she repeated. “Any kind. But I can’t pay.” She said. ‎ ‎        For a second, I was tempted to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind. I responded dutifully, “ I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t give away anything for free.”‎ ‎        The old woman’s face collapsed a bit more, and her hands trembled as she put the can back on the shelf. She shuffled（蹒跚）past me toward the door, her torn and dirty clothing barely covering her bent back.‎ ‎        Moments after she left, I rushed out the door with the can of corn, but she was nowhere in sight. For the rest of my shift, the image of the woman kept coming to my mind. I had been young, healthy. She had been old, sick and desperate. Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than a robot, I was saddened to realize how fragile a hold we have on our better instincts（本能）.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined world “shatter” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. Maintain.  B. Hold.  C. Break.  D. Lose.‎ ‎25. What do we know about the old woman according to the text?‎ A. She was attracted by the shiny store with neatly arranged shelves.‎ B. She left the store in disappointment without any food.‎ C. She declined the writer’s offer of a can of corn.‎ D. She was very healthy and was not afraid of the cold weather.‎ ‎26. Why didn’t the writer give the old woman the food for free?‎ A. He was actually very mean.‎ B. He followed the employee rules.‎ C. He disliked the woman’s appearance.‎ D. He wanted to give her after she went out of the store.‎ ‎27. What’s the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. A Lady and I   B. Working at A Store ‎ C. Sadness   D. If Only …… ‎ C People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.‎ The Oxford English Dictionary(OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to expand its record of the language.‎ Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means a left-handed person.‎ Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the response has been great. Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.‎ These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimming costume, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in ‎ Scotland.‎ The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” to people in New Jersey and New York City.‎ The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”.‎ ‎“The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify regional words. The terms are more often spoken than written down.‎ The appeal is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier.‎ ‎28. Which local word of the following is most likely from regions of the United Kingdom?‎ A. cuddy wifter B. frog-drowner C. agley D. brick ‎29. Which of the following statements is true？‎ A. “Dookers” is closest in meaning to “freezing”.‎ B. The Oxford English Dictionary is planning to add new words by itself. ‎ C. Some regional words are more often written down than spoken .‎ D. The OED is searching for regional differences in English around the world.‎ ‎30.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. It is challenging to create a complete collection of regional words.‎ B. People are not committed to responding to the appeal for regional words.‎ C. People use regional words only when they are home or with close friends.‎ D. Having an understanding of regional words can be helpful when communicating.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?‎ A. It’s time to trace the source of local words.‎ B. The same English words can be used to say different things.‎ C. Oxford Dictionary will include more regional words from around the globe.‎ D. Oxford Dictionary aims to enlarge its collection to appeal to locals.‎ D DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.‎ The evidence suggests that megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted as graves for family groups in northwestern Europe thousands of years ago. The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this region—a history that has long been hidden in mystery.‎ For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomes—the complete set of genetic material in a cell—of 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.‎ This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 B.C. and 2,600 B.C., according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were closely related via family ties.‎ The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland.‎ ‎“The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the European Neolithic expansion,” Magdalena Fraser, co-first author from Uppsala University, said in the statement.‎ ‎32. What’s the significance of the new findings?‎ A. It reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.‎ B. It indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.‎ C. It implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.‎ D. It suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.‎ ‎33. How did the researchers reach their findings?‎ A. By interviewing individuals. B. By travelling to different regions.‎ C. By studying the burial sites. D. By analyzing genes.‎ ‎34. Which is true according to the latest findings?‎ A. All the people buried at megaliths had family relationships.‎ B. Some people buried in the tombs were related to farmers.‎ C. Few people buried in the tombs were genetically different.‎ D. People buried in the Ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.‎ ‎35. What’s the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Megaliths served as tombs thousands of years ago.‎ B. People buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.‎ C. Stone-Age people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.‎ D. Latest findings shed light on a mystery about burials.‎ 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。‎ The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. It’s important to have a good understanding of different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person. 36 ‎ One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture. Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. 37 ‎ Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language. 38 A person can choose a language she has always wanted to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language. Besides, one can enroll in a foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.‎ ‎ 39 Seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain deep understanding into a particular cultural group’s way of life.‎ Communicating with people from other countries through email or snail mail is another useful way to become familiar with different cultures. 40 Various websites offer pen pal services, offering to connect individuals with pen friends around the world.‎ A. The Internet has made it possible to communicate with others from different countries.‎ B. There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures.‎ C. Trying authentic food from a specific cultural group is also a great idea.‎ D. One way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world.‎ E. Stories based on a local culture expose one to a different culture.‎ F. Making contact with native speakers of the language allows one to gain firsthand knowledge.‎ G. A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs is available.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 (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A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。‎ My father was born in a small town in the US.
