The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low-budget(小成本) movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.‎ The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn’t even know existed. In a week I had lost ‎ my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.‎ I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!‎ The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn’t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500.‎ The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after.‎ ‎21.Why did the writer go to Hawaii?‎ A. To realize her childhood dream. B. To free herself from trouble.‎ C. To spend her holiday. D. To make a living.‎ ‎22.Which of the following is the writer’s dream?‎ A. Living in nature with animals. B. Becoming a successful painter.‎ C. Getting close to wildlife. D. Living a free and happy life.‎ ‎23.We can infer from the passage that　　　. ‎ A. the writer’s husband took away most of her money B. the writer wasn’t sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first C. the writer had never done painting before ‎ D. the writer’s parents encouraged her to divorce ‎ B Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom（繁荣）, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.‎ At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.‎ In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too ‎ shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.‎ The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy（大使馆） in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.‎ ‎24.The origin of the tango is associated with　　　. ‎ A. the capital of Argentina B. a Spanish city C. American soldiers D. belly dancers ‎25.Which of the following is true about the tango?‎ A. A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.‎ B. People of the upper classes loved the tango most.‎ C. It was often danced by two males in the beginning.‎ D. It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.‎ ‎26.Before World War I, the tango spread to　　　. ‎ A. South Korea　B. Japan　　C. France　　D. America ‎ ‎27.What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. The Modern Tango Boom B. The History of the Tango C. How to Promote the Tango D. How to Dance the Tango C In the English language there are striking similarities to many of the characteristics present in Spanish, French, and German. So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?‎ English doesn’t necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音)or vowel(元音)sounds than other languages, but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners. There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation. There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound ( like “th” ) when combined. The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.‎ Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense. Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense, sometimes just present and past, which makes it relatively simple to grasp. English, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult in this area. For example, in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present, past, future, past perfect or present perfect. The verb “choose” can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose, chose or chosen. This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp. ‎ Slang（俚语） is more widely used in American English than proper grammar. In the US just knowing the language as it’s generally taught isn’t enough. In every single region or even close neighborhoods, the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language. In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldn’t even be found in the Webster’s Dictionary. They are created by locals and only locals understand them. This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it, especially if they don’t remain in one area for a very long period.‎ ‎28.The purpose of this passage is to　　　. ‎ A. tell us how to deal with slang terms in English B. encourage us to speak formal English C. tell us why English is very difficult to learn D. give advice on how to learn English well ‎ ‎29. According to the passage, the letter “c” in English　　　. ‎ A. is often silent B. has at least two sounds ‎ C. never takes on an “s” sound D. is always stressed ‎30. Compared with other languages, ___________.‎ A. English has very limited changes in verb tense B. English has relatively simple verb tense to grasp C. English has more forms of verbs according to the tense D. English has three more verb tenses ‎31. It can be inferred from the passage that　　　. ‎ A. pronunciation is the most difficult thing in English learning B. all the slang terms should be added to the Webster’s Dictionary C. if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang terms D. people may understand the local language after living in a place for years D Ever wonder how much a cloud weighs? What about a hurricane? A meteorologist（气象学家） has done some estimates and the results might surprise you.‎ Let’s start with a very simple white puffy cloud—a cumulus cloud(积云). How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, did the numbers. “The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons,” she calculates. “Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful...think of elephants.” Assume（假设） an elephant weighs about six tons, she says, that would mean the water inside a typical cumulus cloud would weigh about one hundred elephants.‎ The thought of a hundred elephants’ worth of water floating in the sky begs another question—what keeps it up there?‎ ‎“First of all, the water isn’t in elephant-sized particles(微粒); it’s in tiny tiny tiny particles,” explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air that’s rising below. But still, the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone. “I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh, actually, when I started the calculations（计算）,” she says.‎ So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud—10 times bigger all the way around than the “puffy” cumulus cloud? Again, LeMone did the numbers: About 200,000 elephants.‎ Now, come to the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive. “What we’re doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane,” she explains.‎ The result? Forty million elephants. That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet. Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet.‎ ‎32.The weight of　　　is NOT mentioned in the passage. ‎ A. a cumulus cloud B. a storm cloud C. a hurricane D. a tornado ‎ ‎33.How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations?‎ A. She found it not convincing. B. She thought it needed further calculations.‎ C. She considered the calculations inaccurate. D. She was quite surprised at it.‎ ‎34.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. A storm cloud weights about 200,000 elephants. ‎ B. The water in the cloud is in very tiny particles.‎ C. There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth.‎ D. The water in a hurricane weights more than that in any other kind of cloud.‎ ‎35.What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Surprising Results B. Elephants in the Sky C. How Much a Cloud Weighs D. How Much a Hurricane Weighs ‎ 第二节 信息匹配(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。（注意：E=AB, F=AC, G=AD。）‎ No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with things that go wrong from your customer’s point of view.

In my opinion, it is a good idea to do so, for it can not only help the smokers to smoke less, and it can also do good to other customers’ health. Since you had given up selling cigarettes, the customers who doesn’t like smoking are sure to support you. In addition, smoke in the shopping center may cause fire, which is very dangerous to both your possession and the safety of the customers. In a word, the non-smoking supermarket will not effect your business. To the contrary, it will help you attract more customers who want to keep health.‎ Best wishes!‎ 第四节：书面表达(满分25分)‎ 假设你是李华,你的美国老师Miss Morgan要求你们明天下午去听一个有关美国历史的讲座。你因故不能参加。请你根据以下要点,写一封短信向Miss Morgan请假。‎ 内容要点: ‎ ‎1.表示歉意;‎ ‎2.理由:去机场接从法国回来的舅舅;‎ ‎3.询问:是否有录音,以便补听讲座。‎ 注意: ‎ ‎1.词数100左右; ‎ ‎2.可根据内容要点适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。‎ 一卷 一．听力 ‎1～5.
