Scotland has nearly 800 islands, but people only live on some of them. About five million people live in Scotland, which is 8.5% of the UK population. Most people live in the south of the country, in and around the cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and Dundee.‎ Language In Scotland, most people speak English and Scots and a minority speak Scottish Gaelic, an old Celtic language which is very different from English. Scots is spoken by young and old people and sometimes people mix Scots and English. Some words in Scots are the same as in English and some are different. ‎ Sport The most popular sport in Scotland is football and famous teams include Celtic and Rangers, from Glasgow, Scotland’s biggest city. Another popular game, golf, was invented in Scotland in the Middle Ages. You can go skiing in winter at Scotland’s five mountain ski fields and any time of the year at snowsports centres around the country. ‎ Food When people think of Scottish food, they often think of haggis, a type of sausage made from parts of a sheep. However, Scotland is also known for its variety of seafood and beef.‎ Symbols Blue is a colour which is often connected with Scotland. The Scottish flag is blue with a white X-shaped cross called the Saint Andrew’s cross. St Andrew is the Patron Saint(守护神) of Scotland. Everywhere you go in Scotland, you will see tartan(苏格兰格子呢), kilts and bagpipes. Also, look out for the national animal, the unicorn, and the thistle, the national flower of Scotland.‎ ‎21. What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ A. The Scottish live separately on 800 islands. ‎ B. Most of the Scottish live in big cities.‎ C. 8.5% of the UK population live in Scotland. ‎ D. Scotland lies to the north of Great Britain.‎ ‎22. How many languages are there in Scotland?‎ ‎ A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.‎ - 15 -‎ ‎23. Which of the following is Right according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Scotland is the birthplace of golf. ‎ B. Celtic and Rangers are famous golf clubs.‎ C. The special Scottish food is its seafood. ‎ D. The Scottish flag is white with a blue cross.‎ B Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, brother, sister or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter. New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.‎ Scientific consensus (共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation(刺激) from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle---the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true --- so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.‎ Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.‎ Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.‎ ‎24. According to the text, it is commonly believed that ______.‎ A. people’s IQ levels fall as they age ‎ B. it is wise to share family members’ views C. people can’t improve their intelligence during adulthood D. doing something challenging is good for one’s intelligence ‎25. The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______‎ A. vary B. develop C. change D. fall ‎26. Which of the following can help improve one’s intelligence according to Professor Flynn?‎ - 15 -‎ ‎ A. Making many friends B. Staying with smart people ‎ C. Doing exercise every day. D. Learning from brothers or sisters ‎27. The purpose of the text is to ________.‎ A. inform B. advertise C. entertain D. persuade C On a July afternoon in 1937, 15-year-old Betty Brown was playing with her father’s shortwave radio at home in Florida. She was searching for her favorite songs so she could copy the lyrics down in a notebook. While daydreaming, Brown casually turned the dial on the radio until she heard something that made her stop. It was a voice that sounded familiar. Back in those days, news clips (新闻摘要) were played at movie theaters. Brown recognized the voice from one of the news films she had seen. ‎ ‎ “ I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,” Brown recalled in a 2007 interview. “ She was saying, ‘This is Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.”‎ Brown quickly began writing down what she heard---parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earhart’s navigator (领航员)，Fred Noonan. As the signal faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled (潦草地写) away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising water. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls (求救信号) stopped.‎ ‎ Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made, and Brown eventually stopped trying to tell people what she heard. But she kept her notebook. In 2000, people from an organization researching Earhart’s disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Brown’s notes were reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of an American hero.‎ ‎28. Betty Brown stayed by the radio for so long because she _______.‎ A. was waiting for her music to come back on B. enjoyed recording people’s conversations C. wanted to gather more information about Earhart’s situation D. wanted to take notes for a book about Earhart ‎29. From the Coast Guard’s reaction to Brown, we can infer that the Coast Guard ________.‎ A. did not want to look for Earhart ‎ B. did not believe Brown heard Earhart C. wanted Brown to help them find Earhart ‎ - 15 -‎ D. already knew where Earhart was ‎30. Why did Brown most likely keep her notebook for so long?‎ A. She hoped that it would be worth some money.‎ B. She felt Amelia Earhart would someday be found.‎ C. She wanted to write a song about Amelia Earhart.‎ D. She believed it contained valuable information.‎ ‎31. Which word can best describe Brown?‎ A. Determined B. Forgetful C. Independent D. Careless 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选项。(答题卡涂在36-40题上，32-35放空白)‎ It’s 4 a.m. The clock ticks, the dog snores and you just stare. And you know you shouldn’t be staring – you should be sleeping! 36 , and it’s hard to fall asleep when you’re mad .‎ So what do you do? The tips below might help you sleep easier. Here’s the advice of Eric Olson and Harneet Walia, two doctors from the Cleveland Clinic’s Sleep Disorders Center:‎ ‎·Get out of bed When you lie awake in bed, you send yourself the wrong message. As Walia says, you’re basically training your body not to sleep in bed, but to lie there and not sleep. 37 . Olson puts it another way: “The longer we lie there and get frustrated in that environment, the more we come to expect it next time we’re there. 38 . ”So if you’re unable to sleep, slip into your bunny slippers and out of the room.‎ ‎·Try relaxation techniques Use whatever relaxation tips you know to fight against this inappropriately timed wakefulness. 39 . You simply note the rising and falling of your breath, and focus on the parts of your body where you feel your breath, whether it’s in the lungs, tip of your nose or elsewhere.‎ ‎· 40 ‎ Sometimes the sleeplessness arises from worry. Your brain is overworking, thinking about your bank account and the big meeting tomorrow. For people who consistently have trouble quieting the mind at night, Olson suggests trying to train your mind to think about those things at more appropriate times of the day.‎ A. Erase anxiety B. Figure out appropriate times C. Your mind can get used to that D. Try your favorite calming yoga pose E. You need to develop a regular sleep schedule F. We come to associate the bedroom with not sleeping well G. The frustration that you cannot go to sleep will make you feel angry - 15 -‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 15 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。 ‎ You can never imagine how big and complex the inner world of a three-year-old child is，even as a mom．Yesterday afternoon I went to   41   Nicole from her daycare center．On the way home，she looked   42    in the beginning，telling me about the daytime activities，while later when   43   and quiet came back to her，she looked tired． After we   44    the bus，there was still another 15 minutes of climbing up along a hill to our    45   ．She asked me where her daddy was．I told her that daddy was still working．She  46  the fact and sighed with” Okay…" ，somewhat 47   ． On the way back，she was not as cooperative as usual．Sometimes she   48  to walk，but to stand in the middle of the road．Sometimes she stepped  49   to the grassland and tried to kick off the snow    50  the bare grass could be seen．And she kept ___  51    all the way．Finally we arrived．All of a sudden she    52   tears and lost her temper outside the door．"Why are you crying so sadly？Tired？"The last sentence caused an even louder   53  ，"Mommy can't carry me!

Do you know how many men do housework? Recently, a European official group tried to discover what people’s ideas were about the women’s movement. As part of their survey , they asked many men and women the question, “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women! The housework they asked people about was: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and baby sitting. 48% of British husbands said they did this kind of work. 51% of Danish men said they helped in the house. 15% of Italian men said they did the housework. But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives complained that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men didn’t tell the truth! The group found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’.‎ - 15 -‎ - 15 -‎
