They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books --- especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound（装订）between hard covers. There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet! Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand books, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small hand carts. And the collectors, some professionals and some amateurs, have been waiting for them. In places like this they can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds. 21. “Londoners are great readers” means that _____. A. Londoners read a lot      ‎ ‎ B. There are a great number of readers in London C. Londoners are readers who read only great books   ‎ ‎ D. Londoners are great because they read a lot  22. According to this passage, Charring Cross Road _____. A. is famous for its bookshops           B. is in the suburbs of London C. contains various kinds of shops        D. is the busiest street in London 23. In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean? A. buy books in a most busy street        B. take a risk of losing one’s life ‎ ‎ C. waste time looking for books          D. move away from a busy street 24. On Farringdon Road, ____. A. you can find fine bookshops for the latest books                  ‎ ‎ B. you can see book sellers selling books on hand-carts ‎ ‎ C. there are only small bookshops for the second-hand books D. the same books as the ones in the bookshops of Charring Cross Road are sold B ‎ The scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, where global warming could soon turn the global climate into a new ice age may never occur, according to new research.‎ ‎　　The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data obtained from the Antarctic（南极）ice.‎ ‎　　Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to -40℃,has at least 900, 000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.‎ ‎　　The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740 000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global condition today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15 000 years.‎ ‎　　Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide levels are the highest for at least 440 000 years.‎ ‎　 “If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into ice age otherwise, our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages... and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.”‎ ‎　　Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “In 440 000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,” said Dr Wolff.‎ ‎25. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found that____.‎ ‎ A. the lowest temperature there is -40℃ B. the depth of ice is 3000 meters ‎ C. snowfalls are kept in certain patterns D. the ice has existed for 15,000 years ‎26. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through ____.‎ ‎ A. separating carbon dioxide from the air ‎ B. examining the growth rings of trees ‎ C. comparing temperatures in different areas ‎ D. studying the ice and air caught in each layer ‎27. We can infer from Eric Wolff's words that____.‎ ‎ A. there is something wrong with the data ‎ B. greenhouse effect is always a bad thing ‎ C. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future ‎ D. a new ice age will not come in the near future ‎ C ‎ Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance. Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis(足底筋膜炎) in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation(拯救) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it. Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat(静修), and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.  Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and worries. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension. Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga. 28. What would be the best title for this passage? A. What’s Yoga?       B. The Benefits of Yoga   ‎ ‎ C. How I Do Yoga Poses  D. The Varieties of Yoga 29. People feel tired after yoga because _____.                               A. they respond well to yoga poses  B.they force themselves into yoga poses. C. they spend too much time on yoga      D.they consume energy in practicing yoga ‎ ‎30. If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?  A. Yoga as a means to keep fit.                        B. Different yoga poses. C. Popularity of yoga all over the world.         D. Encouraging people to do yoga.‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分, 满分10分）‎ 信息填空: 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。‎ ‎__31__ Many things can become distractions(分散注意力的事).

Greetings involving kissing embarrassed me, and hugging generally just made me feel 37 .‎ Then one hug 38 all that. One month before my 40th birthday my dad had a heart surgery.

I felt like a little girl at his bedside, 52 to talk to him yet again. I became fixated (异常依恋) with his fingers—fat and soft, lying gently beside him. Slowly they transformed from fleshy sausages to stone—white and immovable. It was his fingers 53 told me he had gone from this life. ‎ ‎ 54 time moving on, my sadness and anger at his untimely death began to fade. I realized that his statement of me from his deathbed had filled a gaping hole of insecurity I had constantly carried around.‎ ‎ Dad's hug had a great effect on me. It carried me along a path from childhood to adulthood, At last I am my own woman and one who loves   55 better than a good old-fashioned hug．‎ ‎36. A. None B. Neither C. Each D. Both ‎37.

Therefore, our dustbins are all overfilled with plastic rubbish, which will float everywhere with the wind. This not only dirties our campus but also results in white pollution, causing damage to the environment. I think it’s high time we should take action.‎ First of all, the school canteens should stop using plastics for food packing. Secondly, we should make rules that ban students from taking food into classrooms. Thirdly, we can hold an exhibition presenting the harmful effects of white pollution. With more students knowing the harm of plastics and fewer students eating and drinking in the classrooms, the use of plastics will be effectively controlled.‎ Hope my suggestions will be useful. I am glad to do something for the improvement of our school environment.‎ ‎ Yours sincerely,‎ ‎ Johnson
