The Quad is located right in the heart of Greenwich ‎ Village, perhaps the most charming and interesting neighborhood in the city. Here are some attractions we recommend, all within a comfortable walk from the Quad: Washington Square ‎ As one of the best-known of New York City’s 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. Come on a Sunday when it’s most lively and festive.‎ New York University It surrounds Washington Square. See the impressive Bobst Library and visit the amazing bookstore. NYU is now considered one of the most powerful universities in the world. Judson Memorial Church ‎ Located on Washington Square south between Thompson Street and Sullivan Street, opposite Washington Square Park, this beautiful church was completed in 1892. The Judson is most famous for its vocal participation in social events. Washington Mews ‎ It is a hidden, private street in New York City between Fifth Avenue and University Place just north of Washington Square Park. It was first developed as a mews (row of stables) that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing, offices and other facilities for New York University. Jefferson Market Courthouse Built in 1833 as a market, it was later changed to a courthouse, and in the 1950s it was emptied and close to being destroyed. It was saved and turned into a library. Many consider it to be the most beautiful building in the village. 24. What does the author want to tell in the passage?    A. To introduce some attractions in the Quad.    B. To suggest the Quad Cinema is the best place.    C. To imply the Quad attracts a lot of visitors.    D. To tell readers to enjoy their life fully.‎ ‎ 25. The author mentions Washington Square because_______.    A. it is in the center of Greenwich Village B. it has a history of more than 100 years    C. it is a landmark in the Manhattan   D. it has witnessed so many incidents 26.

When Washington Mews came into being______ .    A. it was designed for a university   B. it was intended for keeping horses    C. it was filled with free facilities    D. it was used as a park for horses C My decision to travel around China lay merely with my curiosity about the place. Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.‎ After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town----Xiahe in Gansu Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the un-uniformed policeman. I got ‎ into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket.‎ This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out—kindness. In the west we seem to lack the foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "alien"?‎ A. Unfriendly.  B. Familiar.   C. Strange.   D. Attractive.‎ ‎29. What can we learn from the second paragraph?‎ A. The author doubted the so-called policeman.‎ B. The third man could speak English fluently.‎ C. The author followed a student to another bus station.‎ D. A police car took the un-uniformed policeman away.‎ ‎30. Why did the un-uniformed policeman disappear after the author got off the bus?‎ A. He hurried to buy a ticket for the author.‎ B. He went to get a car to pick the author up.‎ C. The author didn't behave in a friendly way.‎ D. The author found a uniformed policeman to help him.‎ ‎31. According to the text, what impressed the author deeply in China?‎ A. Beautiful scenes. B. Terrible transportation.‎ C. Troubles in small towns. D. People's kindness.‎ D Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.‎ However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary ‎ schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.‎ During the nine-month experiment, 14- to-16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.‎ The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”‎ ‎ Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognized that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.‎ ‎32. We can infer from the first paragraph that       .                 ‎ ‎     A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phones ‎     B. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needs ‎     C. students are free to use their mobile phones at school ‎    D. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school ‎33. When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they       .‎ ‎     A. all enjoyed the project very much ‎     B. didn’t know what they were used for ‎    C. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phones      ‎ ‎     D. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools ‎34. Who benefited most from the project?‎ ‎     A. Older pupils.                             B. Pupils who were not confident.‎ ‎     C. Younger pupils.                         D. Pupils who were confident.‎ ‎35. The purpose of the text is to tell us that       .‎ ‎  A. mobile phones can actually help students learn ‎     B. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schools ‎     C. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problems ‎     D. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 ‎ Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that ? Fashionable ? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look?   36‎ The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. __37 .‎ But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.‎ ‎_38.  “we do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “ but extremes (极端)of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.‎ ‎_39.  Ludovica Gaudio,14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf.   40  “‎ ‎ I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “In winter , when dressed like that ,it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”‎ A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.‎ B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.‎ C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.‎ D．Most students have simply ignored the request.‎ E．Another 14-year-old girl said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons.‎ F．Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools’ requests.‎ G．Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.‎ 第二部分英语知识运用 (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、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ There was a rich foreign merchant who had 4 wives.
