B.A doctor. C.A photographer. D.A director.‎ ‎25.How did the writer feel after knowing Kathy's disease?‎ A.Anxious. B.Innocent. C.Powerful.

D.He devotes much more to medical care.‎ ‎27.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A.Cancer steals time. B.Kathy's cancer has spread.‎ C.Snowflakes make the family feel cool. D.The author takes a different way of life.‎ C If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day,think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year,a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most,with the average female putting on 61b ‎3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 51b 20z.‎ The report into our eating habits found that,on average,we eat at least two snacks a day,with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men,with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research,by The Village Bakery,found biscuits are the most common vice,with 42 percent regularly opening a pack,closely followed by chocolate (38 percent),crisps (32 percent) and cakes (13 percent).‎ And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition,33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.‎ Simon Staddon,of The Village Bakery,said:"We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really ‎ shocked by the extent to which 'quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general well-being.Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such as biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories,fat and full of sugar,all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain."‎ The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying, compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately,it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.‎ ‎28.According to the passage,women usually put weight on first______.‎ A.on the face B.on the legs C.on the feet D.in the middle ‎29.What's the main reason of eating snacks in the office?‎ A.Colleagues eat them to save money. B.Staff use them to cope with their lunches.‎ C.Colleagues often bring them to office. D.Bosses invite staff to eat them.‎ ‎30.Why do office workers eat a "quick fix" lunch?‎ A.Because it has much of nutrition. B.Because it has little effect on weight gain.‎ C.Because it has little effect on general well-being. D.Because they have a short time to have their lunches.‎ ‎31.It can be inferred that British women are______.‎ A.less likely to lie on snacks than men B.more likely to lie on snacks than men C.more ashamed of eating snacks than men D.less ashamed of eating snacks than men D Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful,there's a natural impulse to catch and own it—which means, in this day and age,that we can't help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.‎ Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.‎ These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.‎ He argued that humans have a born tendency（倾向）to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin's eyes, there's one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesn't matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.‎ Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only "artists" would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.‎ So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly（心不在焉地）.When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.‎ ‎32.What does the underlined word "impulse" mean?‎ A.Interest. B.Urge. C.Habit. D.Reaction.‎ ‎33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?‎ A.An effective solution to storing something nice. ‎ B.Reasons for taking pictures in the first place.‎ C.Problems related with taking photos. ‎ D.Methods of storing pictures in phones.‎ ‎34.It can be inferred that John Ruskin______.‎ A.lived at the origin of photography B.lived at the origin of drawing C.studied the history of photography D.was an English literature critic ‎35.How did John Ruskin advise us to remember our travel?‎ A.By taking photographs. B.By buying meaningful souvenirs.‎ C.By writing some travel notes. D.By trying drawing what we see.‎ 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。‎ Common public speaking problems The use of “I feel”, “I think” and “maybe”‎ ‎ In the question-and –answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”, “I hear”, “maybe” and “perhaps”. These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view. 36 ‎ ‎ Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence. Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ ‎ Don’t stick to the same tone. It can be boring. Try to mix it up. For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles tighter. 38 , rather than just sticking with the same one.‎ Irresponsible answers ‎ 39 . you’re responsible for your words. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don’t want to sound foolish. So you should think twice before you talk. Don’t be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy(盗版), started by saying he supported it.‎ Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it ‎ You should focus on one point and give a clear solution. 40 . is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?‎ ‎ Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion. Remember that ‎ judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.‎ A. Try mixing more than one style.‎ B. Improving your communication skill.‎ C. Using only one speaking style D. It’s important to involve your audience.‎ E. Public speaking is different from personal conversations.‎ F. The key is to work out what question is being asked G. To the judges and audience, this lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable.‎ 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。‎ I became a gardener when I was twelve.
