They may be got from your father and your father’s father or they can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.‎ From my point of view, reading is very important in our lives. For example, reading is a means of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field; you can express your opinion about a political event at least, because you have read something about that.‎ Reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can dream in the world of the rich or imagine what life will be like in the future.‎ Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do and suffer like us, too.‎ In short, I would like to say that reading is the perfect means of enriching our culture, expressing correctly and having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be an erudite person.‎ ‎1．In the writer’s opinion, some people have many books at home only to　　　　.‎ A. make their houses look more beautiful ‎ B. show that their fathers are wealthy C. impresses others with the fact that they love reading very much D. show that they are rich enough to have such a large collection of books ‎2．We can learn from the fourth paragraph that 　　　　.‎ A. people in stories are always unbelievable B. what we read can be useful in our daily life C. writers are good at dealing with problems in life D. writers often have different experiences in life ‎3．The underlined word "erudite" in the last paragraph probably means "　　　　".‎ A. learned B. enthusiastic C. smart D. creative ‎4.

In her poem, Elizabeth tells a story about how she desperately loves someone but must behave as if she does not. These actions cause her great pain and confusion. After a while she becomes resistant to her feelings until she discovers she can no longer hide them. She is faced with denying her duty or denying her heart. As she talks through her feelings, I have the impression of someone dealing with the death of a loved one. At ‎ first, she is in denial and then becomes somewhat angry. Through the second stanza (节)she moves on to feelings of sadness and regret. Finally, in the third stanza she completes this cycle of copy by resigning herself to her feelings. In her hopes of finding closure, she ends by pleading, "Or let me live with some more sweet content, /or die, and so forget what love e’er meant."‎ In On Monsieur’s Departure, the reader discovers a woman who is apparently distraught (发狂的)over her feelings for a lover she cannot get. Due to Elizabeth’s royal position as queen and the duties that she must uphold, it is no wonder that she would not be permitted to choose any suitor of her liking. She must choose according to what will be suitable to her position on the throne. Elizabeth has to put the concerns of her government and the people she rules ahead of her own wishes. This must have been a terrible burden on her and must have brought on a feeling of isolation (孤独)as well. She did try to find some small escape from these pressures and personal conflicts (冲突)by writing poetry. Through reading On Monsieur’s Departure, the reader is able to grasp the inner struggle Elizabeth has over her feelings for this lover and the knowledge that she cannot have him.‎ ‎8．Why does the author of On Monsieur’s Departure feel sad and regretted?‎ A. She loses the one she loves. ‎ B. She is shouldering a heavy burden and is too busy.‎ C. She can’t choose the one she loves. ‎ D. She is turned down by her lover.‎ ‎9．Which of the following is true about Elizabeth?‎ A. She hates her royal position as queen. B. She must put her duty above her love.‎ C. She is not suitable to be queen. D. She prefers love to power.‎ ‎10．Elizabeth wrote poetry probably to 　　　.‎ A. escape from her pressures and troubled feelings B. sing praise for true love C. enrich her personal life D. express her love for someone ‎11．The passage is probably taken from 　　　.‎ A.a personal journal B.a newspaper story C.a research paper D.a poetry review D I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas，I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.‎ I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in. I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor’s front porches(门廊)on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards：“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”‎ I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.‎ My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call，and a couple even came by to thank me. This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply：Resident，5104 Northumberland Road.‎ The thank—you card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message，“Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”‎ I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry，but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas，but I believe if she knew what had happened，she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly’s last days be more cheerful.‎ ‎12．How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?‎ A. Nine.‎ B. Eight.‎ C. Ten.‎ D. Eleven.‎ ‎13．Where did the friendly lady live?‎ A. She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.‎ B. Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.‎ C. She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.‎ D. The author was not sure about her address at all.‎ ‎14．How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?‎ A. They liked the gifts wry much and were thankful.‎ B. They were thankful and wanted to learn how to make baskets.[]‎ C. They all made phone calls to say” Thank You".‎ D. They all visited him by person to show gratitude.‎ ‎15．What does the author mean in the last paragraph?‎ A. He was regretful that the nice lady didn’t receive his gift.‎ B. He was glad to have made Mr. Kelly’s life more pleasant.‎ C. He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.‎ D. The old lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.‎ 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。‎ Swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, dancing, walking or any of dozens of other activities can help your heart. 　16　Whether it is a structured exercise program or just part of your daily routine, all exercise adds up to having a healthier heart.
