Click here www.bridgesinbritain.com.‎ ‎21．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．The 1831 London Bridge is now in the USA.‎ B．Tower Bridge is much less frequently lifted today than before.‎ C．Cars and buses are not allowed to cross Millennium Bridge.‎ D．Westminster Bridge is for walkers only.‎ ‎22．The passage is most probably taken from a ．‎ A．school report　　　　　　 B．website article C．teenage magazine D．science fiction ‎23．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．William Wordsworth wrote many poems of the bridges on the Thames River.‎ B．Millennium Bridge wasn't built strong enough so that it had to be pulled down and rebuilt.‎ C．That all the traffic is kept left in Britain was from a rule of an old London Bridge.‎ D．Tower Bridge is the symbol of London because it is the first bridge on the Thames River.‎ B Dear strangers，I remember you.‎ Ten months ago，when my cellphone rang，you were walking into Whole Foods，prepared to go about your food shop.But I had already abandoned my cart full of groceries and I stood in the entryway of the store.My brother was telling me my father was dead.And as we hung up the phone，I started to cry and scream as my whole body trembled.‎ Overwhelmed with emotions，I fell to the floor and you，kind strangers，you were there.You could have kept on walking，ignoring my cries，but you didn't.You could have simply stopped and stared at my primal (原始的) display: of pain，but you didn't.Instead you surrounded me as I yelled through my sobs.‎ I remember in that haze of emotions，one of you asked for my phone and asked who you should call.I remember that I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband for me，leaving an urgent message on his answering machine for him to call me.‎ I recall hearing you discuss among yourselves who would drive me home in my car and who would follow that person to bring him back to the store.You didn't know one another，but it didn't seem to matter.You encouraged me，a stranger，in the worst moment of my life and you gathered around me with common purpose，to help.‎ I told you that I had a friend，Pam，who worked at Whole Foods and one of you went in search of her and thankfully，she was there that morning and you brought her to me.I remember the relief I felt at seeing her face familiar and warm.She confronted and cared for me so lovingly until my husband could get to me.‎ ‎24．Before the author's brother called her，she ．‎ A．was driving and crying B．was talking with the strangers C．had filled her cart with groceries D．had paid for the groceries in her cart ‎25．The author develops the third paragraph mainly ．‎ A．by process B．by example C．by comparison D．by classification ‎26．What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?‎ A．One of the strangers knew the author's husband.‎ B．One stranger reached the author's husband easily.‎ C．The strangers wanted to know the author's secrets.‎ D．The author's husband didn't answer the phone call.‎ ‎27．Which of the following can best describe the strangers?‎ A．Kind and helpful. ‎ B．Clever and outgoing.‎ C．Cautious and optimistic. ‎ D．Careless but kindhearted.‎ C American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment，ethnic diversity and plural religion，which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more，these elements are still influencing the American culture.‎ The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892.Frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise，opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life.So ‎ individualism，selfreliance，and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America.‎ In history，people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on，different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture was formed，a common cultural life with commonly shared values.‎ The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism(多元化); almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.‎ Nowadays，we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.‎ ‎28. We can learn from this article that________.‎ A. the population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups B．the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture C．people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture D．the American family members don't get along well with each other ‎29. What's the author's attitude towards American culture?‎ A．He is critical of it.‎ B．He admires it very much.‎ C．He just states the facts.‎ D．He looks down upon it.‎ ‎30．The last paragraph is about ________.‎ A．the family structure in American society B．the influence of the three elements in the current American society C．the new life style of American family D．the reason why American people like to change residences ‎31．What might be the most suitable title of this article?‎ A．The Immigrants in America B．Why American Culture Is Unique C．The Influence of American Culture D．Plural Religion and American Culture ‎ D Genetically modified(转基因) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today.This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world.From the seed dealers，to the farmers that buy the seeds，to the workers that the farmers sell to；all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.‎ Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately.There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods.They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe，the US and the rest of the world.They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process.Since they are a new product，and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country，these tests are very necessary.‎ These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation.Begun in May of 1997，the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EUwide premarket system for all novel foods.A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past.By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.‎ There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food.Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use—GM soybean and GM maize (玉米)．‎ Despite any safety checks，many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods.By providing these people with the necessary information，we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.‎ ‎32．What do we know about the novel food?‎ A．It's very popular in EU.‎ B．It's bad for people's health.‎ C．It's a new kind of food.‎ D．Its story has been published.‎ ‎33．Genetically modified foods are allowed to be sold if they are ________.‎ A．tested for safety　　　　 B．of high quality C．more nutritional D．grown in Europe ‎34．From Paragraph 2，we can learn that genetically modified foods ________.‎ A．do no harm to people B．have caused some problems C．are well received after being tested D．are criticized and attacked by many people ‎35．What's the writer's attitude towards genetically modified foods?‎ A．We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.‎ B．We should give people information about them so that they can decide whether to buy them.‎ C．We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.‎ D．We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ Overcome Culture Shock in the Classroom Culture shock occurs in a classroom when students are exposed to a new situation. 36 ．However，it can also happen to students moving from a small town to a large city，to home schooled students starting formal school education or to students progressing from one level of education to another.There are several strategies that teachers can use to help students overcome culture shock.‎ Make group rules Brainstorm group rules with the class as a whole to create a safe space and good learning environment. 37 .Rules could include respecting differences，listening when someone is speaking and not teasing，for example.‎ Provide a partner Find a partner for the new student in the adjustment period. 38 ．A good partner is someone who is friendly，outgoing and patient.The partner ‎ should show the new student around the school，spend time with him or her after class and eat lunch with him or her.‎ Know the source of a problem Identify problems early and work with the student and his or her family to deal with them. 39 ．It can also be caused by overseas or homeschool environment.Students and parents need to be aware of all the rules and customs that apply.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ Create lessons that include information about different countries and traditions.These could include story reading，geography，cultural studies and history.Encourage the student to share some information about himself or herself.‎ A．Create special lessons B．Respect other cultures C．They have lost their own language and culture D．Explain the rules and require everyone to follow them E．A partner can help him or her quickly adapt to the new environment F．Classroom culture shock is often caused by the very different environment of a classroom G．Typically，this happens when a new immigrant(移民) arrives in a classroom
