There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college. King’s Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. The Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byron’s Pool Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf ,a famous writer,—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 21.The main idea of the passage is __________. A. interesting stories of Lord. Byron B. an approach to becoming creative in art C. the colorful life in the countryside D. some places for weekend break 22.If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you’d better go to__________. A. Byron’s Pool B. the Botanic Garden C. King’s Art Centre D. Cambridgeshire 23.According to the passage, the following statements are wrong except __________. A. There is a small charge for attending the masters’ class B. Byron liked swimming naked in the lake C. Byron seemed to like keeping pet bears D. Hissing Sid and Flytrap are impressive animals 24.The author’s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show__________. A. she was a famous writer B. she was keen on swimming C. she was Byron’s admirer D. Byron’s Pool is a pleasant place【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】 B Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering around the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”. Showrooming is something I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I’m not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013. Amy Cashman, head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying ”. She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around. But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts. We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen, but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds! 25. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ________________. A. introduce the topic B. give two examples C. compare different opinions D. get answers from readers 26. According to Amy Cashman, which is not the reason for showrooming? A. The lack of time. B. The comfort of the sofa. C. The shortness of money. D. The security of the product. 27. The author’s attitude towards showrooming is __________________. A. critical B. neutral C. casual D. supportive C When the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces, I started to worry that maybe we had made a mistake. That afternoon, my dad had stood on the deck ( 露 台 ) of our home and laughed as our neighbors packed up their cars and headed inland. They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm. Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado (龙卷风) was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad. Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind. “Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled (爬) beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror. My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away. “Next time, we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s. Okay?” my dad said. 28.What did the family do before the storm came? A. They left the motels. B. They stayed on the beach. C. They packed up the cars. D. They visited their neighbors. 29.What was the family’s immediate action when they saw the tornado approach? A. Running away at once. B. Praying in silent terror. C. Crawling on the ground. D. Closing their eyes tightly. 30.Where did the family stay in the storm? A. Inside the car. B. In a basement. C. Under a deck. D. Behind a door. 31.What can be the best title for the text? A. Life on the beach B. Surviving a Storm C. An Unusual Cottage D. My Admirable Family D I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but just before I, the youngest of four children, turned sixteen, my belief was painfully tested. My father, who used to share in the chores around the house, gradually started becoming downhearted. From the time he came home from his job to the time he went to bed, he hardly spoke a word to my mom or us kids. The strain on my mom and dad’s relationship was very evident. However, I was not prepared for the day that Mom told us that Dad had decided to leave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced family. It was something I never thought possible, and it grieved me greatly. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t going to happen, and I went totally numb when I knew my dad was really leaving. The night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time. I prayed and I cried and I wrote a long letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and how much I would miss him. I told him that I was praying for him and wanted him to know that, no matter what, Jesus and I loved him. I told him that I would always and forever be his Krissie...his Noodles. As I folded my note, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard: “Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.” Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sneaked out to the car and slipped my letter into one of his bags. Two weeks went by with hardly a word from my father. Then, one afternoon, I came home from school to find my mom sitting at the dining room table waiting to talk to me. I could see in her eyes that she had been crying. She told me that Dad had been there and that they had talked for a long time. They decided that there were things that the both of them could and would change and that their marriage was worth saving. Mom then turned her focus to my eyes. “Kristi, Dad told me that you wrote him a letter. Can I ask what you wrote to him?” I found it hard to share with my mom what I had written from my heart to my dad. I mumbled a few words and shrugged. A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, my dad and I. I guess I always figured that it was something that was a secret between us. 32. What happened to the author’s parents when she was sixteen? A. They left her alone. B. They got divorced. C. They shared in the chores together. D. They had a good marriage. 33. What is the meaning of the underlined word “grieved” in Para.1? A. made sb. angry B. made sb. delighted C. made sb. sad D. made sb. greedy 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. The author handed the letter directly to her father. B. Her father wrote back to the author when he finished reading the letter. C. The author’s letter made a difference to her father. D. The author shared what she wrote with her mother. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Promise Kept B. A Letter C. A Broken Family D. A Great Daddy 第二节：（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June, followed by summer vacation. 36___ Because long ago, young people had to help their families harvest summer crops, At least this is what people today may think. 37___ A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar. In the early days of the United States, children were not required to attend school School calendars depended on local needs. 38____ They worked on family farms during the other months, City schools were often open much longer, some for eleven months of the year. After the Civil War, more and more people saw the need for a system of required education. __39_______Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break, The schools were often crowded. There was no modern air conditioning. Hot days would make it difficult to learn. Many rural educators, however, pushed for a longer school year. They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child-labor laws. So the traditional school calendar was a compromise (折中). The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days. Times have not changed much. 40____ But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer. A. Why such a long break? B. Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days. C. Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar. D. Most schools had similar school calendars. E. But the reason has more to it. F. Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year. G. But they had different ideas for the calendar. 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） I was in desperate need of a break.

No matter how much we stress the importance of "inner beauty", looks are undoubtedly 61 advantage in the dating game. That the 62 (excellence) woman he admires will realize her error in judgment after having been rejected by a handsome fellow and notice him 63 (be) the dream of every average-looking guy. Well, such a dream is highly unlikely, according to newly 64 (publish) research. The study, 65 focused on the responses of 126 female undergraduates after romantic rejection, 66 (lead) by psychologist Geoff MacDonald. Researchers found women’s distancing 67 an unattractive man — even when that unattractive man offered acceptance — was also a 68 (consequent) of rejection by an attractive man. In other words, after being refused by a handsome fellow, women were found to be more likely to reject a less attractive man, thus 69 (make) the pain caused by the initial rejection even worse. The indication here is obvious: Looks are 70 (close) associated with status, at least in the dating world. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 短文改错(共 10 小题:每小题 2 分，满分 20 分) 71.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共 有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(  ) 并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 After the Spring Festival, there arises some hot topics, and lucky money is including as well.

Besides, lucky money is the more attractive part for children, it forms the good memory of our childhood. The rest, however, think bad of it. For one thing, the amount is grown bigger and bigger, making it a heavy load.
