Here are some letters from our readers.‎ ‎■ Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.‎ People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade （避让）them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.‎ The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.‎ ‎— Michael Horan ‎  ■ I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.‎ I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.‎ The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.‎ The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!‎ The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的）jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.‎ ‎— Carol Harvey ‎■ Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.‎ I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.‎ Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?‎ It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.‎ ‎—JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.‎ ‎11. Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that ___________.‎ A. drivers should be polite to cyclists B. road accidents can actually be avoided C. some pedestrians are a threat to road safety D. walking while using phones hurts one’s eyes ‎12. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should ___________.‎ A. be provided with enough roads B. be asked to ride on their own lanes C. be made to pay less tax for cycling D. be fined for laughing at policemen ‎13. What is a complaint of JML?‎ A. Very few drivers are insured.‎ B. Cyclists ride fast on pavements.‎ C. Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.‎ D. Horse riders disrespect other road users.‎ ‎14. The underlined word “they” in the third letter refers to ___________.‎ A. accidents B. vehicles C. pedestrians D. cyclists ‎15. The three letters present viewpoints on ___________.‎ A. real sources of road dangers ‎ B. ways to improve road facilities C. measures to punish road offences ‎ D. increased awareness of road rules B An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time. ‎ In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. ‎ In Chicago, the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. ‎ The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on ‎ one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. ‎ Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.‎ ‎16. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?‎ A. To invite authors to guide readers. ‎ B. To encourage people to read and share.‎ C. To involve people in community service. ‎ D. To promote the friendship between cities.‎ ‎17. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?‎ A. They had little interest in reading. ‎ B. They were too busy to read a book. ‎ C. They came from many different backgrounds. ‎ D. They lacked support from the locate government.‎ ‎18. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?‎ A. In large communities with little sense of unity. ‎ B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.‎ C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population. ‎ D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.‎ ‎19. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ___________.‎ A. exchanged ideas with each other ‎ B. discussed the meaning of a word ‎ C. gamed life experience ‎ D. used the same language ‎20. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by___________.‎ A. the careful selection of a proper book ‎ B. the growing popularity of the writers ‎ C. the number of people who benefit from reading D. the number of books that each person reads C When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars ‎ going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.‎ This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.‎ Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.‎ There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.‎ When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.‎ The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.‎ ‎21. The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, ___________.‎ A. he would have been shot by a gun ‎ B. he would have become confused ‎ C. he would have been attacked by wild animals ‎ D. he would have been in great danger ‎22. According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, ___________.‎ A. he will worry about being laughed at B. he will push himself to find his way out C. he will feel sorry that he didn’t prepare well enough D. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends ‎ ‎23. What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?‎ A. Intelligence. B. Observation. ‎ C. Direction. D. Chance.‎ ‎24. The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who___________.‎ A. go into the woods by themselves B. keep their head when they are in trouble ‎ C. are frightened when they think they are lost D. don’t know how to signal for help properly ‎25. What is probably the best title for the passage?‎ A. A Man Lost in the Woods B. Timely Rescue in the Woods C. Don’t Panic When Lost in the Woods ‎ D. A Pathfinder in the Woods 第二节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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项。‎ Children art education is something that is much encouraged for the child’s creative growth. This is necessary because a child can have a sense of appreciation of the arts and along with all the other things that they learn in school. 26 ‎ Children art education should be designed from a very early age so that they are allowed to express themselves freely in whatever way that they wish to. 27 ‎ However, the task of children art education is not a very easy one, because you have to find the right way in which you can help them get interested in what you are trying to teach them. 28 ‎ The physical space where the art education is to be carried out should also be carefully decorated to make it attractive to the children. Use of colors should be made in abundance (丰富) as that is what attracts a child first to it. ‎ Displaying examples of artwork that you think would be important enough to influence the children is also a good idea. Of course, a photograph of a painting of the Madonna (圣母马利亚) is something that children might not appreciate. 29 This will be a source of inspiration for the children to try them out as well.‎ The creative process is something that you must not interfere with (干涉) during a children art education class. 30 But after that, you must wait for the children themselves to come up with something meaningful to their ability. As long as the end result is connected with the topic, every child’s art work is worth praising.‎ A. You can just give them a topic for drawing.‎ B. A trip to an art museum can be an inspiration to many students.‎ C. They also have a place where they can express all their feelings. ‎ D. The reason for this could be the lack of interest in the teacher.‎ E. This is the only way that art can be appreciated as children grow up.‎ F. So creating the right environment for children art education is very important.‎ G. Instead, put up paintings that children will be fond of.‎ 第三部分 语言知识及应用（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，掌握其大意，然后从31—50各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family’s only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. 31 was tight, and he became even more 32 when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had 33 the gold wrapping paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.‎ ‎ 34 , the next morning the little girl, filled with 35 , brought the gift box to her father and said, “This is for 36 , Daddy!”‎ ‎ As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his 37 overreaction.‎ ‎ But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again 38 . “Don’t you know, young lady,” he said 39 , “when you give someone a present there’s supposed to be 40 inside the package!”‎ ‎ The little girl 41 at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: “Daddy, it’s not empty.

If you ask me to tell the difference between American and Chinese culture, in my opinion, there are mainly three. First of all, while shopping in the supermarket, customers are provided with plastic bags free of charge in the USA, but we have to pay for recycled bags in China. Second, in terms of the tipping system, it’s better for them to leave 10% of the bill for the waiter or waitress while we don’t have to do so. What’s more, in order to encourage more people to use the same car together, the government sets up Carpool Lane for cars with two or more passengers, which helps them avoid traffic jams. However, in Foshan we are lucky to have the Green Lane, specially (designed) for bicycles.‎ I have to stop here.

Am I going to have any free time?‎ M: A little, but it’s going to be a pretty busy day.‎ W: OK. Let’s start with the morning. ‎ M: All right. From 8:00 to 9:00 you’re going to have breakfast with the department managers. Then you’ll drive to the new factory. After you get there, around 10:00, there will be a tour of the new building. ‎ W: How long is that going to take?‎ M: About an hour, and after that, at one o’clock, the managers from Chicago and New York will be here for a meeting.‎ Question1: Who will Ms. Reynolds have breakfast with next Monday? ‎ Question2: How long will it take to tour the new building?‎ ‎3-4题 M: Excuse me. How much is this suit?‎ W: It’s on sale today for $750. It’s normally $900.‎ M: Wow, that is pretty expensive! I was thinking that it might be four or five hundred.‎ W: This material is imported from Italy. It’s the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at any department stores, you would pay about two thousand dollars.‎ M: Uh-huh… but isn’t that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides, I saw a suit just like this one at another store, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that was too expensive.‎ W: It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material. And our price is definitely the lowest anywhere in the city.‎ Question3: How much is the suit on sale?‎ Question4: What is special about the material of the suit?‎ ‎5-6题 M: Hello, I’d like to buy some plants and flowers for my garden, but I’m not really sure what to buy. Could you help me figure out which plants would work well in my garden?‎ W: Sure. How big is your garden?‎ M: Hmmm…it’s hard to say because it’s not in a very regular shape. I suppose it’s about 100 square meters in total.‎ W: Oh, so you’ve got quite a bit of space. That means you can choose many different ‎ kinds of plants and flowers for different seasons. Another question: how much light does your garden receive?‎ M: Well, the front of the house gets a lot of light all day. On the sides of the house, there is light in the morning, but by early afternoon, it’s all shade.‎ Question5: Why is it hard for the man to tell the size of his garden?‎ Question6: Which area of the man’s garden gets a lot of light all day?‎ 第二节 One day, Jack’s parents told him that his grandpa was going to retire after working for forty years .They were going to have a surprise party for him. Jack loved his grandpa and wanted to do something special for him. He remembered the business card his grandpa had given him two years before. He knew that his grandpa would no longer have the position on that card, so he decided to get a new one for him.‎ When the day came, Jack was ready. But he didn’t want to put his gift together with others. He carried it around with him the whole evening. When all the other people left, he took his grandpa’s hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift. As Grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. Jack gave him the greatest gift he had ever received! They were business cards with his new position: “FULL-TIME GRANDPA”! Jack said, “Now your full-time job is my grandpa!” “Well, how much do I get paid?” his grandpa asked, smiling. “As many hugs as you want!” With these words, Jack gave Grandpa a hug. “Well, I guess that means I’m the richest man in the world!” said Grandpa.‎ Question7: How many years had Jack’s grandpa been working before he retired?‎ Question8: How did the family plan to celebrate grandpa’s retirement?‎ Question9: When did grandpa give his business card to Jack?‎ Question10: What new position did Jack give to his grandpa?‎
