However, a project carried out by The Observer suggests that people regard these spaces as a place of refuge (避难), a window in their tightly scheduled lives.‎ Ella Doroudy, Margate Station We were at the beach for the day, and now are on our way home. We don’t have to wait very long, because we checked the timetable so we got here in time for the train. I just chat with my mates, really, and listen to music until the train comes. Waiting with other people is easier because you can kill time when you’re talking about stuff.‎ Caroline Lacey, Streatham Dental Center I don’t really get nervous about seeing the dentist, but since these two fillings (补牙的材料) came out I’ve been in sharp pain. It’s very bright and airy here, so it’s quite calming. Usually I kill time by reading magazines. I’ve been coming to the dentist as and when I need to, but now it’s got to be regular.‎ Katie Hawkins, Model Casting I was a bit late today, which I’m quite pleased about because some of these girls have been waiting ages. I can’t help but look at everyone else a bit — I look at the other girls and think: “I wonder if they’ll like her better than they like me.” While I’m waiting, I’m thinking: “Oh come on. I do have a life!”‎ Paul Thomas, Royal London Hospital I feel pretty indifferent (满不在乎的)  while I’m waiting here, to be honest. It’s something I’ve got very used to since my motorbike accident seven years ago. I’ve had ‎ about 32 operations so far. It’s no good rushing in thinking you’re going to escape in five minutes, so I just sit back and people-watch, really.‎ ‎21. What is Ella doing at Margate Station?‎ A. Checking the timetable. B. Catching the train to the beach.‎ C. Meeting and picking her mates up. D. Waiting for the train to return home.‎ ‎22. How does Caroline feel after she enters the waiting room?‎ A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Relaxed. D. Nervous.‎ ‎23. What kind of feeling does Katie probably show when she is thinking “I do have a life!”?‎ A. Impatience. B. Satisfaction. C. Amazement. D. Confidence.‎ ‎24. Who enjoys looking at the people around him or her while waiting?‎ A. Paul Thomas. B. Ella Doroudy.‎ C. Katie Hawkins. D. Caroline Lacey.‎ B Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their search for the truth.‎ Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn’t stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.‎ In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements including chlorine (氯), though he didn’t get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death.‎ Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist. He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jupiter. In 1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot. Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there — he is the only person who has had this honor.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Brief. B. Slight. C. Lasting. D. Ordinary.‎ ‎26. What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments?‎ A. Tasting chemicals. B. Staying in the empty lab.‎ C. Experimenting in darkness. D. Working together with others.‎ ‎27. What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death?‎ A. He was buried in the Tanami desert.‎ B. Some of his ashes were placed on the moon.‎ C. One comet of Jupiter was named after him.‎ D. A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter.‎ ‎28. The text is mainly about three great scientists’ _____.‎ A. special honors B. great achievements C. famous experiments D. suffering in the job ‎ C Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素)and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. ‎ So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or ‎ even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?‎ Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情感的)attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. ”Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems. ”‎ What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. ‎ ‎29.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?‎ A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.‎ B. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.‎ C. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work D.A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.‎ ‎30. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?‎ A. Challenging mental work. B. Unpleasant emotions. ‎ C. Endless tasks. D. Physical labor.‎ ‎31.What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?‎ A. He doubts them. B. He agrees with them. ‎ C. He argues against them. D. He hesitates to accept them.‎ ‎32.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to　　　.‎ A. enjoy their work B. have some good food ‎ C. exercise regularly D. discover fatigue toxins ‎  D The English language is full of phrases about the weather. Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If you say you “hit ‎ rough weather”, you may not be struck by a real storm, but you do experience difficulties or problems. If you don’t know what such phrases mean, they might leave you “in a fog (雾)”!‎ In English, you can “shoot the breeze”, or have an informal chat. But things can also be a breeze. If you take an exam and find it very easy, you’d tell your friends: “It was a breeze!” The wind can also bring information. You can “get wind of” a piece of news, and if someone “knows which way the wind blows”, they have a good idea about how things will work out. But don’t “throw caution (警惕) to the wind” — that means taking a great risk!‎ Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone “sees a cloud on the horizon (地平线)”, there may be problems ahead. And if someone is “under a cloud”, then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad; in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. You may even end up “on cloud nine”, which means you are very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”, not paying attention to reality.‎ No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so it’s no surprise that phrases about them are generally negative. When someone says “it never rains but it pours”, they are complaining (抱怨) that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about “weathering a storm” just want to get through a difficult period or situation.‎ ‎33. It may be dangerous when you _____.‎ A. know which way the wind blows  B. find that something is a breeze C. get wind of a piece of news  D. throw caution to the wind ‎34. If you look at something in a positive way, you may say _____.‎ A. you are under a cloud  B. your head is in the clouds ‎ C. every cloud has a silver lining  D. you see a cloud on the horizon ‎ ‎35. Phrases like “it never rains but it pours” and “weathering a storm” are related to something _____. ‎ A. changeable  B. unfavorable C. acceptable  D. unbelievable 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。‎ Time is on your side How frequently do you say “I don’t have time”? Quite often, I guess. Every time we say those words, they make us feel weak and out of control. You are in control of your hours and your life.  36 ‎ I know it’s not as easy as simply turning off the TV. But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side.‎ ‎★ 37 ‎ Be honest: do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day? Are you spending time with people that you don’t really like just to please them? Are there meetings you attend that you can politely refuse?‎ It’s time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing. Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful.  38 ‎ ‎★Change your language.‎ Words matter. They have power. Saying “I don’t have time” is an excuse for not wanting to do something. Here are some good, empowering alternatives (选择):‎ ‎“I choose not to start that project until next year.”‎ ‎“ 39 ”‎ ‎“I’d love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first.”‎ Get better at saying no.  40  Use little pockets of time (friend running late, car stuck in traffic, meeting ending 10 minutes early) to do some productive thinking. All these things can add up over time more than you believe!‎ A. Identify your blocks.‎ B. But you are likely wasting a lot of it!‎ C. I really don’t have enough time to do it.‎ D. Replace them with things that satisfy you.‎ E. Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone.‎ F. I’d love to read that book — I’ll get to it after my homework is complete!‎ G. When you don’t have a plan for your life, someone else will plan it for you.‎ 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.
