This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.‎ Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising. The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.‎ Friday, March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.‎ ‎21. Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. The writer is working in Thailand.‎ B. The writer left Chiang Mai for Chiang Rai by bus C. The writer dislikes the food in Thailand.‎ D. The writer will take a bus to Chiang Mai.‎ ‎22. The people in the village __________.‎ A. like to speak English B. live a very busy life ‎ C. hope to live in the cities D. are friendly to others ‎ ‎23. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. My First Travel B. Traveling in Thailand ‎ C. My Trip to Chiang Mai D. The Outside World B When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).‎ Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.‎ At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in ‎ others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.‎ Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.‎ There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.‎ When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!‎ ‎24. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?‎ A. honesty B. reliability ‎ C. understanding D. a sense of humor ‎25. If you have fair weather friends __________.‎ A. you will be refused when you get into trouble B. you will become rich C. you can be sure that you get real friends D. they will give you all that they have when you need help ‎26. Good friends need to __________.‎ A. be helped with money ‎ B. always point out each other’s mistakes ‎ C. have money or luck D. understand each other’s feelings ‎27. This passage mainly discuss _________ .‎ A. where to choose friends B. the qualities of a friend ‎ C. how to get along with friends ‎ D. the importance of having a friend C Interviewing is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease as when you try it for the first time, you'll probably never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he or she may be too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct（天赋）, which can all be learned with experience. ‎ ‎　　The basic tools for an interview are paper and two or three well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook or paper out of sight until you need it. There's nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad．Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you're dealing with, getting him or her to trust you.‎ Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record．If it's an actor, know what plays he has been in. You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.‎ ‎　　Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions and have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. The fear is almost 100 percent unnecessary. Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him.‎ ‎　　Most men and women lead lives that are uninteresting, and they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen. ‎ ‎　　This doesn't necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, and they will get used to the process（程序）awkwardly（笨拙地）, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day; it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy it—proof that you aren't forcing your victim to do something he doesn't really want to.‎ ‎28. The word "reveal" could best be replaced by________.‎ A．ask　　 B．give　　　 C．question　　　　　　D．look ‎29. According to the passage, during an interview notebooks or paper should________. ‎ A．be used only when necessary B．never be used　　　　　　　　　‎ ‎　 C．be kept at home　　　　　　　　 D．be given to the interviewer ‎30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that most men and women ________.‎ ‎　 A．are afraid to meet interviewers　　‎ B．hate being interviewed C．fear to speak to outsiders ‎ D．like being interviewed　‎ ‎31.According to the passage, if a person being interviewed is too uneasy to give you anything useful, what should you do?‎ A．Give him or her a bad score.‎ B．Arrange another interview.‎ ‎　 C．Wait until he or she calms down.‎ ‎　 D．Try to make him or her trust you.‎ D So you think you know your dog. But how well does your dog know you? She probably recognizes you when she sees you. But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.‎ Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, harsh voice, dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area. Researchers have found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and a frown. The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval.‎ Researchers performed a series of experiments. They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper of lower half of a person’s face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry. The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training. Once the dogs learned to recognise which image was happy or angry, they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.‎ Corsin Muller, who led the study, says future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions—for example, whether a frown shows that someone is angry. “What we can say with our study is that they can tell these ones are different. But what we cannot ‎ be sure of at this point is what exact meaning they are associating with these different expressions.” “Of course it seems likely that they would associate (联系) some positive meanings with the smiley face and they would associate some rather negative meanings with the angry face. But what exactly they are associating with these expressions we cannot know at this point.” Corsin says.‎ ‎32. The passage tells us mainly about __________.‎ A. what are the best ways to train our dogs B. why it’s necessary to know our pet dogs well C. whether dogs can recognise our facial expressions D. how dogs communicate with each other ‎33. We know from the second paragraph that a dog __________.‎ A. pays little attention to its owner’s looks B. is very sensitive to its owner’s voices C. has to be trained to recognise our voices D. will feel guilty if their owner frowns ‎34. According to Corsin Muller, it’s been proven that dogs know __________.‎ A. the exact meaning of a frown B. a frown is an angry expression C. human looks carry different meanings D. a smiley face may have negative meanings ‎35. In which part of a website does the text probably appear?‎ A. education. B. language. ‎ C. economics. D. technology. ‎ 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。‎ Problems, which are a part of our lives, come in different shapes and colors and feelings. We’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born. 36 . Now read on to know how to solve your problems. ‎ Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problems can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.  37   ‎ Write your problems. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. 38   By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.‎ ‎39  No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.‎ ‎ Remember your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.  40   Your problems might just seem bigger and worse, but in reality they can be removed.‎ A. Don’t lose faith and hope. B. Talking helps you move on and let go. C. But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. D. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?　 E. Go and solve your problems because every problem always has a way out. F. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. G. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、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。‎ I had arrived at the airport about 30 minutes before the checkin.
