England, Wales and Scotland make up the island of Great Britain, which takes up most of the Britain Isles. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are mountainous. The highest mountain is Ben Nevis in Scotland. Plains and valleys cover much of England. The British climate is mild.‎ About 58 million people live in the United Kingdom. Few other countries are so crowded. Four out of five people live in cities such as Belfast, Glasgow, and London. London is the capital. Great Britain grows half of the food it needs. Its industries help to pay for the food that is bought from abroad. The United Kingdom manufactures a wide range of goods. Service industries, such as tourism, which provide services rather than producing goods, are increasing. Traditional industries, such as coal mining, are declining.‎ ‎25. There are many mountains in .‎ A. Northern Ireland, Scotland and England B. England, Wales and Scotland ‎C.Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland D.Northern Ireland, Wales and England ‎26. In the United Kingdom, about people live in big cities.‎ A. 58 million B. 46.4 million C. 38.8 million D. half ‎27. According to the passage, which of the statements is true?‎ A. Great Britain grows all of the food it needs.‎ B.The United Kingdom manufactures a narrow range of goods. C.The speed of tourism in UK is increasing.‎ D. The coal mining is also increasing fast.‎ C Doctors may now be able to stop many heart attacks. An important new study reports that doctors have a new drug. This drug is called TPA. It may be better than any other heart drugs.‎ Many doctors now use a drug called streptokinase. But this drug sometimes causes problems for patients. It can even cause bleeding（流血）in the brain. Some doctors do not use streptokinase. Streptokinase can save about 1/3 of the people with heart attacks. But TPA will save about 2/3.‎ One reason TPA can help more people is because of time. This new drug is easier and faster to use. It will give doctors more time in hospitals. Then they can study the problem well. People with heart problems can also keep some TPA at home. When a heart attack starts, they can take some TPA right away. Then they will have time to get to the hospital. This is important because about 860,000 people in the United States die before they get to the hospital.‎ This is another reason why TPA is good news for people with heart attacks. According to the study, it is much safer; it doesn’t cause other problems like streptokinase does. TAP works only on the heart. It does not have an effect on the blood or cause bleeding.‎ Doctor plan to do more studies about TAP. They need to test this new drug on many more people with heart attacks. But in a few years, many doctors and hospitals will probably start using this exciting new drug.‎ ‎28. In your opinion, the best title for this passage is . .‎ A. Heart Attacks B. A New Drug for Heart Attacks C. The Cause of Heart Attacks D. A Drug Called Streptokinase ‎29. The story says that TPA . .‎ A. is safer and faster than the old drug B. is very dangerous C. is slower and harder to use than the old drug D. causes many problems ‎30. This new drug may mean . .‎ A. more people will die from heart attacks B. the same number of people will die from heart attacks C. fewer people will die from heart attacks D. no one will die from heart attacks ‎31. Which of the following is TRUE?‎ 14‎ 班级：‎ 考号：‎ 姓名：‎ 考场：‎ 座位号：‎ 第 2 页 共 4 页 14‎ 14‎ A. Streptokinase is the new drug for heart attacks B. TPA can save fewer people with heart attacks than streptokinase C. people who take TPA at home before they go to hospital must be very careful. D. Probably TPA will be widely used in America in the following years.‎ D 线 Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.‎ 题 However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.‎ 答 This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.‎ 封 不 内 得 When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.‎ 封 线 Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.‎ ‎32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .‎ 密 A. the reasons for success. B. the meaning of success C. the standards of success. D. the importance of success ‎33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word "that" refers to .‎ 密 A. being good at something. B. setting a practical goal. C. putting in more time. D. succeeding in life ‎34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?‎ A. Successful people like to show their great skills. B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.‎ D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.‎ ‎35. What is the main theme of the passage?‎ A. Having a goal is vital to success.‎ B. Being good is different from being great.‎ C. One cannot succeed without time and practice. D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.‎ 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。‎ Ways to make a great first impression You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take only a few seconds to make that all-important first impression ( 印 象 ). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.‎ ‎● 36‎ Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 37‎ ‎● Be on time When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 38 It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.‎ ‎● Introduce yourself and ask for names Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way. 39 This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.‎ ‎● Make good conversation To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. ‎40 A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to ‎(产生共鸣).‎ A. Use body language B. Have a proper handshake C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.‎ D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early. E.

I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town,you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic 14‎ ‎ and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving.So, if you don't have a car, you'd better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course,safety should be considered, and that's one area where small towns are better than big cities.Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 第 3 页 共 3 页 14‎ when he thought about helping ordinary people ‎63 (expose) to cholera.
