Having around 2,143 windows, 1,252 fireplaces, and 67 staircases, the castle is one of the most visited attractions in France.‎ As a fine example of 18th-century French art, this historic building has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for 30 years.‎ At first it was just a hunting house built by Louis XIII. But Louis XIV chose the site to build the palace we know today, the symbol of royal absolutism (王权专制) and classical French art. The castle lost its standing as the official seat of power in 1789, but got a new role in the 19th ‎ century as the Museum of the History of France, which was founded when Louis-Philippe became the king in 1830.‎ This historic castle with its beautiful architecture and gardens, and long history, is a must-visit sight on a sightseeing trip to Paris.‎ Opening Times:‎ High season: 1 April – 31 October Every day except Mondays 9.00–18.30. Last admission (准许进入): 18.00.‎ Low Season: 1 November – 31 March Every day except Mondays 9.00–17.30. Last admission: 17.00.‎ Entry to the Palace: ‎ To get to the palace of Versailles by RER C rail line, make sure to buy a “Paris–Versailles Rive Gauche” ticket (zones 1-4).‎ With a Paris Pass you can visit the palace free of charge — that’s a saving of 18 Euros. Please note that Versailles is outside zone 3, but a single RER train ticket to Versailles will cost you only €3.25.‎ With a Paris Pass you don’t need to queue up, but can use privileged Pass holder entry, a great benefit if you are visiting during the busy spring or summer seasons.‎ Note: Your entry does not include the musical fountain shows. When the water shows are taking place you will be unable to visit the gardens unless you purchase a separate ticket.‎ ‎21. What can we learn about the Palace of Versailles? ‎ A. It was used as a museum at first.‎ B. It was built in memory of Louis XIV.‎ C. It was the official seat of power in 1830.‎ D. It is not so busy in November as in October.‎ ‎22.

The text is most probably taken from _____. ‎ A. UNESCO’s World Heritage List B. an ad for an art festival C. an architecture textbook D. a travel guidebook B When a tornado struck the small town of Otwell, Indiana, in May 2006, Kathryn Martin, 32, who lived 60 miles away in Evansville, couldn’t get the news of it out of her mind. “I kept thinking about those poor people. Somebody had to help them,” she says. She knew firsthand what they were going through. ‎ Six months earlier, in the middle of the night on November 6, 2005, a tornado had struck her town, taking the lives of her 2-year-old son, C.J., her mother-in-law and her grandmother-in-law. The three had been having a sleepover at her grandmother-in-law’s mobile home. Kathryn, her three other children and her husband survived. “It was the most terrible experience of my life,” she says. “That pain will never go away, and it broke my heart to think about what other families were going through in Otwell, especially the children.” ‎ So Kathryn loaded her car with juice boxes, snacks and toys and drove to Otwell. She dropped off the items with the Red Cross. On the drive back to Evansville, Kathryn came up with an idea to help more kids. She spent the next few months organizing homegrown fundraisers: carnivals, car washes, walk / runs. Finally, in August 2007, she unveiled (使公诸于众) C.J.’s Bus, a 35-foot school bus-turned-mobile-playroom. Stocked with bins of video games and DVDs, toys, books and much more, the bus travels to disaster-torn towns, giving the children there a safe place to play while their parents simply take a break. To Kathryn and her team of 39 volunteers — some of them fellow tornado victims — “it’s just keeping it normal for kids.”‎ So far, C.J.’s Bus has traveled to three states affected by tornadoes or floods, cheering up more than 756 children, ages 3 to 13. ‎ ‎24. Kathryn wanted to help others after the tornado mainly because _____.‎ A. she wanted to recover from pain B. she had experienced the same disaster C. she had enough experience of first aid D. she was one of the members of the Red Cross ‎25.

What can we know about C.J.’s Bus?‎ A. It provides fun for children in disaster-struck areas.‎ B. Parents can play games with children in it.‎ C. Children can eat various snacks in it.‎ D. It costs lots of money to produce it.‎ ‎27. Which word can best describe Kathryn?‎ A. Unusual.                   B. Imaginative.              ‎ C. Self-centered.           D. Kind-hearted.‎ C The origins of pizza can be traced (追溯) back to the Romans, who baked a type of bread called “picea”. Around 1,000 AD, the name “pizza” had already become accepted. However, it took a long time before the real Neapolitan pizza with tomato sauce, fish and cheese came into existence. ‎ A recipe from 1858 describes something much more like the popular food we know as pizza today. This early recipe describes a piece of dough (the pizza “bread”) rolled out into a flat, round shape, covered with any food available, topped with oil, and then baked in a stove. The recipe also lists other ingredients, such as chopped garlic, cheese, herbs and thin slices of fish. ‎ For a long time, pizza remained a specialty. Other products from the south of Italy spread slowly at first to the north, but pizza was slower to travel. It first made a detour (绕道) to New York in the USA, where people bought the dough bread with its delicious toppings from street vendors (小贩) and ate it as a snack between meals. The first Neapolitan pizzeria opened in New York in 1905. Sixty years later, pizza had become popular not only in the USA, but was also eagerly eaten in northern Europe. It was only in Italy — with the exception of Naples (a city in southeast Italy) — that pizza was still little-known. This nutritious snack did not make its entrance into Rome and the northern parts of Italy until the 1970s and 1980s.‎ Today pizza is eaten all over the world. Even in the most remote towns and villages, there is often somewhere to buy pizza, and, in large cities, a whole army of pizza-delivery restaurants advertise their products. If you want to try your skills, your local market is sure to sell all the necessary ingredients. By the way, it varies a lot as for the ingredients people choose in America, Russia, India and many other countries.‎ ‎28. As a recipe from 1858 says, a piece of dough _____.‎ A. was rolled out in the shape of a circle B. was baked in a stove for almost one hour C. was covered with as much food as possible D. was mixed with few ingredients we see today ‎29. We can learn from the text that pizza _____.‎ A. has a history of only a few hundred years B. spread slowly across Italy at the beginning C. was not accepted at all at first in New York D. is popular in every part of Italy except Naples ‎30. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is to show _____.‎ A. the taste of pizza B. the spread of pizza C. the origins of pizza D. the benefits of pizza ‎31. What is most probably to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?‎ A. Different recipes for pizza. B. Different kinds of fast food.‎ C. Natural ingredients for pizza. D. The secrets of pizza deliveries. ‎ D Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless (wi-fi) connection? Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop and using an unsecured (无安全保护措施的) wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it.‎ For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is ‎ involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.‎ ‎—by Sandra Wilkins Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem? It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone else’s firework display. It’s not stealing.‎ Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router (路由器). And finally, haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve? They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous.‎ ‎ —by James Hoarley ‎32. Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested?‎ A. For stealing someone’s laptop.‎ B. For surfing the Net in the street.‎ C. For destroying others’ wireless connection.‎ D. For using an Internet service without permission.‎ ‎33. What does Sandra Wilkins think of people using others’ Internet service?‎ A. He thinks it is unacceptable.                   ‎ B. He thinks it is necessary sometimes.‎ C. He thinks it requires good computer skills.             ‎ D. He thinks it is good for Internet service providers.  ‎ ‎34. In James Hoarley’s opinion, _____.‎ A. Internet service should be improved B. it is hard to secure one’s wireless connection ‎ C. people should leave their wireless connection open ‎ D. using others’ Internet service is not stealing at all ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Wireless connection   B. Wireless worries C. Internet service         D. Internet users 二． 七选五（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。‎ Gift therapy Once, at a conference in Denver, one of the speakers talked about personal, innate (天生的) gifts. I was impressed by his words: We all have them, but they are not ours to keep.   36   Since that day, I’ve been thinking about how I can give them away throughout my life. ‎ About three months ago, I visited a nursing home as a professional therapy (心理疗法) student. Inside, I met my partner for the day, and asked her name. In a very low voice, she responded “Annabelle” followed by “Do I have to do this?”‎ ‎  37   For a half hour Annabelle refused to make crafts (手工) with me and just sat in her chair, watching others make their crafts. Just then my mind suddenly flashed back to the words on gifts at the conference.   38  ‎ So I turned to Annabelle with a smile and started asking her about her life, and listened. She told me all about her life-lessons and her future plans. After a short while of sharing her life stories with me, she began to put her snowman together.   39   ‎ As our time together nearly ended, Annabelle showed me pictures of her family and crafts made by her grandchildren. As I left the nursing home, she said, “Thank you for everything. I hope that you come back someday.”‎ ‎  40   We shared many gifts that day: memories, happiness, trust and listening. Our gifts made our relationship a special experience.‎ A. Smiling, she admired her finished craft.    ‎ B. I put her craft aside trying to calm her down. ‎ C. Could I possibly give away one of my gifts today?‎ D. Not once had I considered giving my gifts away before.‎ E. The activity was clearly not part of her “to do” list that day.  ‎ F. That day turned around for both of us, through the power of gifts.    ‎ G. As a future therapist, I’m determined never to ignore the power of gifts. ‎ 四．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。‎ When the Egyptians built the pyramids (金字塔), they included mazes to catch thieves.

Each new pattern(图案) was first  51  on a computer, and the one used in 2001 had to be  52  eighteen times before it was just right. After it was finished, Donnie Fulks and his sons took a detailed  53  of the pattern divided into squares, and then started the cutting job. ‎ People from all over the country come out to the Belvedere Plantation to try to find their way through the Fulks family’s maze. It is  54  while the corn is tall, from mid-July through early November. Visitors are given flags to  55  their progress and to wave for help if they are  56 . It always makes people  57  when they find their way to the end. Built into the 2001 maze were several  58 . Sixty speakers provided music throughout the journey.
