It was during the noon lunch hour and the streets were filled with the noise of people and cars. Suddenly, the Native American said, “I hear a cricket (蟋蟀).”‎ His friend said, “What? You must be crazy. You couldn’t possibly hear a cricket in all of this noise!” “No, I’m sure of it,” the Native American said, “I heard a cricket.” “That’s crazy,” said the friend.‎ The Native American listened carefully for a moment, and then walked across the street to a big wall. There they saw bushes (灌木). He looked into the bushes, and sure enough, he found a small cricket. His friend was quite amazed. “That’s unbelievable,” said his friend. “You must have superhuman ears!”‎ ‎“No,” said the Native American. “My ears are not different from yours. It all depends on what you’re listening for.” “But that can’t be!” said the friend. “I could never hear a cricket in this noise.”‎ ‎“Yes, it’s true,” came the reply. “It depends on what is really important to you. Here, let me show you.” He reached into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and dropped them on the sidewalk. And then, with the noise of the crowded street still in their ears, they noticed every head within 20 feet turn and look to see if the money was theirs.‎ ‎“See what I mean?” asked the Native American. “It all depends on what’s important to you.”‎ ‎50．The Native American was ______ with his friend when he heard a cricket. ‎ A. taking a walk B. watching people walking C. looking for crickets D. looking for important things ‎51. His friends felt _____ after they found the cricket.‎ ‎ A. unsure B. crazy C. relaxed D. amazed ‎52. The writer wants to tell _______. ‎ A. people pay more attention to what is important to them B. people wonder what is important to them C. people can hear different sounds D. people believe what they heard ‎ C British Humor Is it true that the British laugh at different things from people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in Britain.‎ To the British, the powerful and important are often figures of fun. It’s not just politicians (政治家) who make us laugh quietly，but anyone whose job it is to tell other people what to do and who take themselves too seriously. We giggle at authority(权威), but also, kindly with anyone who is treated unfairly. We know they can’t win, but if they do so sometimes, it’s even funnier. Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things—and winning. ‎ The British laugh when other people might feel very worried. People say that the British are cold and unwilling to show their feelings and this is expressed in our humor. I don’t really think that’s true but I know that we do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). “Not very pleasant”, we say after some terrible experience. Along with this, is our love of understatement (轻描淡写). “It’s a bit windy today” we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or “There’s a slight problem” when something has gone very seriously wrong.‎ A British comedian will often begin by saying “Have you ever noticed…..?” We find humor in ordinary,‎ 14‎ ‎ boring life, especially its negative aspects. As well as this, we find it amusing to tell jokes about things that have gone wrong for us, rather than not mentioning them in case we look stupid. Our funny stories might start with “I’m such an idiot, I did something really stupid yesterday”.‎ Another thing that can make it difficult to understand “British humor” is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often “keep a straight face” even when we’re making a joke.‎ So, is the British sense of humour unique? Well, probably not. It is the combination of all these features that make the British laugh and make so many other people ask “Why is that funny?” ‎ ‎53. Which of the following is the British humor?‎ ‎ A. The British laugh at themselves.‎ B. The British laugh at things that are rude.‎ C. The British laugh when they meet boring people.‎ ‎ D. The British laugh when they think things are funny. ‎ ‎54. The underlined phrase “keep a straight face” means the British_______.  ‎ A. look confused      B. stop laughing C. make a face    D. seem expressionless   ‎ ‎55. The writer thinks ______.‎ A. the British politicians are funny people B. the British sometimes laugh when others might cry C. the British like to tell jokes in pleasant situations D. the British humor is easy for other people to understand ‎ ‎ ‎ D For eight weeks last summer, scientists from several universities and government weather laboratories carried out the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS). They set up a center in Goodland, Kansas, home to some of the heaviest thunderstorms（雷暴雨） in the United States. In this area, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico meets hot, dry air from the southwest, resulting in storms so huge that they can last for days as they move east across the country. ‎ The scientists working in Goodland were trying to learn as much as they could about these disordered storm systems. They already knew that the combination of strong winds, large amounts of moisture(潮湿), and big differences in temperatures could produce thunderheads, known as Super Cells. They also knew that super cells could produce terrible weather, including tornadoes（龙卷风）. What the scientists did not know, however, was why some super cells produce heavy rain, lightning, and tornadoes, while others produce large hail（冰雹）that can destroy a wheat crop or a roof. The scientists supposed that the physical characteristics of storm clouds would give the reason for such differences.‎ To study the storm clouds, the researchers in Goodland met each morning and studied weather data(数据), hoping for bad weather. Their cars, equipped with weather instruments, were ready. Whenever a storm came near, some scientists drove toward the storm front and began collecting data on winds, temperature, air pressure, and humidity. During the storm, they also calculated the time and place of every lightning strike.‎ At the same time that the scientists on the ground were collecting their data, researchers in the air were operating a special radar station that would help them measure（计量） the shape and size of the water drops inside the clouds. These scientists rode in a single-engine plane specifically designed to fly through terrible weather systems. While the pilot guided the plane through heavy wind, lightning, hail, and ice, the scientists on board collected their storm data.‎ Researchers say that it will take years for them to understand all the data they have collected. ‎ 14‎ Their hope is that by comparing the conditions on the ground with the conditions in the air, it may be possible to learn much more about how lightning is produced, why some storms produced baseball-sized hail, and why others produce floods and tornadoes.‎ ‎56. According to the passage, large, disordered storm systems can be caused _______.‎ A. by tornadoes B. by large hail and ice C. when humid air and hot, dry air meet ‎ ‎ D. when water drops make clouds grow too large ‎ ‎57. Which of the following actions did the scientists carry out first?‎ A. They collected storm data.‎ B. They waited for bad weather.‎ C. They measured water drops.‎ D. They drove toward the storm front.‎ ‎58. The research data collected by the scientists in Kansas _____.‎ A. was so great that it will take time to sort out properly ‎ B. has provided clear answers to the scientists’ questions ‎ C. will lead to other research projects at the STEPS labs ‎ D. has explained why some storms produce hail and others do not ‎ ‎59. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. How scientists used what they knew about storms in their research. ‎ B. How the scientists tried to learn more about serious storm systems.‎ C. How scientists collected different data on land and in the air.‎ D. How scientists chose Goodland Kansas as their research base. ‎ 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分） ‎ ‎ Maria Martinez is remembered today as the maker of beautiful pottery. Her pottery is in museums all over the world. ‎ ‎ 60 She lived in New Mexico in America. As a young woman, Maria was known for the fine pots she made. Maria and the other village women made pots for their families. They also sold pots to visitors. ‎ In 1908, some archaeologists (考古学家) found broken bits of pottery in Maria’s village. They belonged to Americans who lived there 700 years before.‎ ‎ 61 They were thinner than Maria’s pots. The finds influenced her art. Maria decided to make such a pot. Her husband helped her. They had to find a way to make the pot thinner. Maria knew the clay she used would not work. A thin pot made out of that clay would crack (破裂) easily. Maria mixed different amounts of clay, sand, and water. 62 Maria produced many pots in her lifetime. 63 They are keeping the old ways alive just as Maria had done before.‎ A. Her son and grandson also learned how to make beautiful pots.‎ B. At last, she discovered a mix that would not crack.‎ C. Maria taught her husband how to make pots.‎ D. Then the archaeologists showed them to Maria.‎ E. Maria was born around 1881.‎ 八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分） ‎ 14‎ ‎ As mobile phones grow in popularity, telephone booths have become fewer in German cities. But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology — books. ‎ Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BücherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details, about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany. These libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books. It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.‎ Each of Berlin’s three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away. ‎ ‎ Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BücherboXX system relies on trust and the community’s good will.‎ One woman named Petra Rücker, a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rücker said. “It looks interesting.” This time, she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said.‎ ‎64. Are telephone booths very popular in Germany? ‎ ‎65. How long does it take to replace the old books? ‎ ‎66. Why are there no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow?‎ ‎67. Did Petra Rücker leave the booth with a book or without a book?‎ ‎68. What are the main points about the passage? ‎ ‎ 书面表达 （共25分）‎ 九、完成句子。（共10分，每小题2分）‎ 根据中文意思完成句子。‎ ‎69. 我对所犯的错误感到抱歉。‎ I ______ my mistake.‎ ‎70. 麦克和安迪学习一样的努力。‎ Mike studies _____ Andy. ‎ ‎71. 太晚啦，你今天或明天去体育中心都行。‎ ‎ It’s too late.

I remember we had ‎ really cold winters in my home town that made travelling difficult, so I’d turn on 14‎ ‎ the TV to see when we’d have good weather. My science teacher was surprised ‎ how much I knew during our lessons on weather at school!‎ M: And you started a weather club at your school. What happened there?‎ W: Well, my teacher asked me to help other pupils learn about the weather, so I ‎ started the club in May, 2008. The school already had a mini weather station, so ‎ we used that to make a daily weather diary. And I found the information very useful for school projects I worked on!‎ M: So finally, Lucy, what’s your favorite weather?‎ W: Well, everyone likes it when it’s sunny, and I do, too, but when it’s raining hard ‎ outside you get great grey clouds that are really beautiful, so I usually rush out in ‎ the wet! Fog is interesting, too, the way it suddenly appears, but it’s a bit ‎ ‎ dangerous, so I can’t say I really like it.‎ Dear Jack,‎ ‎ I’m glad to hear that you will come to Beijing and stay here for 2 days. It’s my honor to be with you and show you around Beijing, but to tell you the truth, two days is really short if you want to have a good look at the wonderful city. Next, I will tell you about my plan for your two-day stay here.‎ ‎ On the first day, I am going to take you to my school and study with me. I am sure you will fall in love with my school, because the courses and activities are enjoyable and interesting, especially the after-school activities. Students can not only open up their eyes to the world by reading books about science, history and so on, but also take exercise and relax themselves. Moreover, they can have doing what they love to do, such as playing chess, singing, making models and so on.‎ ‎ On the second day, I plan to have a bus tour. It is a good idea to enjoy the sight on the top deck of a double-deck bus. Then we will get off at Tian’an Men Square, where we can feel the perfect mixture and the past and the present. After walking on the magnificent square, we can visit the Place‎ ‎Museum, where the ancient emperors lived. Here you can see some wonderful buildings and learn about Chinese history better. ‎ So, what’s your decision? I just can’t wait to meet you and you’re always welcome！‎ 14‎
