One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.‎ ‎“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”‎ The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun‎ ‎Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”‎ At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.‎ ‎21. The doctors would be beaten if __________.‎ A. the baby daughter didn’t drink their medicine B. they refused to obey the king’s order C. the baby daughter grew to the right size D. the baby daughter became a monster ‎22. The old doctor wanted to keep the king’s daughter for twelve years because ___________.‎ A. they needed a lot of different plants B. they need a lot of different minerals C. this would give the baby time to grow up D. they had to dig a mineral the snow melted for the second time ‎23. The doctors thought it impossible __________.‎ A. for them to change the king’s order B. for them to prepare the medicine in twelve years C. for the small baby to drink the medicine D. for them to make the baby have teeth and hair or grow teeth at once ‎24. ______the king wouldn’t have given them expensive presents.‎ A. Had the doctors not brought back a beautiful girl B. Had the doctors not found the minerals C. Had the doctors not been able to prepare the magic medicine D. Were the daughter still a monster twelve years later B A Spanish company Siesta&Go has opened the first public napping (小睡) space in Madrid. It promises people a quiet rest in the middle of the city’s business center.‎ Napping spaces are nothing new; places to rest are already set up in other big cities in the world. But the idea would appear to work well with the culture of Spain, where people traditionally take an afternoon nap, called siesta.‎ The Madrid nap space recently opened with 19 beds. People can use them by the minute or by the hour, and they can also choose either a private or shared room. An hour of napping inside a private room costs about $15.‎ Siesta &Go provides all bedding, clean nightshirts and other materials. Nippers can request to be woken up when their time is up. It also offers areas to work, with armchairs, newspapers and coffee for those not wishing to sleep.‎ Philip &Go is one happy customer. Marco says he gets tired during the day because of hard work. He says a siesta is the perfect way to build up energy. “I come for about 30 minutes or something like that. That ‎ is usually enough for me to be full of energy.”‎ While many Spanish people love their naps, others like Carlos Villarroja say they are just too busy to keep the tradition. “It’s a Spanish tradition, but I think it’s more of a legend (传说) than a tradition. Because of the lifestyle and the working hours, we have very little free time for a siesta at least during the week.”‎ But many health experts believe there is evidence that taking a short nap can be very good for the body and mind. Scientific studies show that taking a siesta can also prevent illness and lower blood pressure.‎ ‎25. What is not allowed for customers to do?‎ A. Sleep for free B. Choose a private room C. Use it as an office D. Share a room with others ‎26. What does Philip Marco think of the Madrid nap space?‎ A. Costly. B. Helpful. C. Comfortable. D. Convenient ‎27. What’s Carlos Villarroja’s opinion on siestas?‎ A. It is not necessary to take a nap. B. They can treat high blood pleasure.‎ C. People have no time to take a nap. D. It’s not true that Spanish people like naps.‎ C What are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There are diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population? Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems.‎ If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of a amazing things that are actually interesting!‎ Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order to improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.‎ Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.‎ ‎28. Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.‎ A. suggest they are impossible to be solved B. introduce the causes of these problems C. show the writer’s worry about the future world D. show scientists play an important part in solving them ‎29. What is needed to solve these problems?‎ A. Advanced weapons B. Enough energy C. New technologies D. A growing population ‎30. Most people think the life of scientists is _______.‎ A. amazing B. boring C. colorful D. unreal ‎31. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Owing to military technologies, there has been no wars B. For those interested in cooking, food technologies may be a choice C. Forensic scientists play an important part in dealing with crimes D. Most athletes can achieve greater achievement with the help of sports scientists D Why do so many tourists come to Easter Island? Because it has world-famous stone statues（雕像）. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders (柱状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades（十年）.‎ Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.‎ On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano（火山）using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.‎ The early islanders probably worshiped (崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In ‎ 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors（胜利者）of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.‎ Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presents a challenging task.‎ ‎32. What do we know about Easter Island?‎ A. It is a big island‎ of ‎Chile.‎ B. It is located in ‎North Pacific Ocean C. Its early inhabitants were Polynesians D. It was named after a Dutch explorer ‎33. Scientists are still uncertain about __________．‎ A. why people built the statues B. how people transported the statues C. where people made the statues D. how many statues there are on the island ‎34. What happened in 1680?‎ A. The islanders started a war against outsiders B. Another 15 statues were put up C. People began to worship the statues D. Many statues were damaged ‎35. The purpose of the text is to __________．‎ A. inform B. advertise C. entertain D. persuade 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。‎ ‎ It’s well-known by all the people to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ____36____ However, what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone tend to believe the look on your face or the way you behave?‎ Recently, scientists have dealt with these questions. They found that when a person is staring at your face, he might not believe what he sees if your body doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.___37___ Previous study had showed that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words spoken. For example, most people are more likely not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”‎ When talking about emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies that showed anger or fear. ____38____‎ An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A frightened face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. ____39____A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to fight back.‎ These results told the researchers that mixed messages can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language surely influences the emotion they read.‎ ‎____40____ And if you want to be understood it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.‎ A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.‎ B. So, your body language is important for telling people your feelings.‎ C. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that puzzles people.‎ D. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.‎ E. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.‎ F. They also showed pictures where angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.‎ G. When doing this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you are happy to see them.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） ‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ It is not often that a person has sympathy for someone who stole from him / her.
