French fries are commonly found in typical American fast-food burger joints and cafeterias. French fries were introduced to the US when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his presidency from 1801 t0 1809. Potato chips are popular with consumers as well.‎ The humble potato is more than just a kind of food. In many ways it's part of the American pop culture. Let's take a look at some pop culture potatoes.‎ Mashed Potato dance The Mashed Potato dance is a craze that began in 1962. The name of the dance came from the song it accompanies, Mashed Potato Time, performed by American R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp. The move vaguely resembles that of the Twist dance style, by Sharp's fellow Philadelphian,Chubby Checker.‎ Hot Potato!‎ Hot Potato! is an action puzzle video game released in 2001. In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings. The potato beings are either red or blue; when two like-colored potatoes touch each other, they disappear. .Over the years, Hot Potato! has received mostly positive reception from critics.‎ Mr. Potato Head Mr. Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949. The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands, feet, ears and mouths. In 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy advertised on television. This commercial revolutionized marketing and caused a boom that solidified this toy's place in American pop culture.‎ 21. Which is the newest to the American pop culture?‎ A. French fries. B. Mashed Potato dance.‎ ‎ C. Hot Potato! D. Mr. Potato Head.‎ 22. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. French fries were popular in US when first served in the White House.‎ B. Mashed Potato Time came from Mashed Potato dance.‎ C. When two different-colored potatoes touch, they disappear.‎ D. Mr. Potato Head can be taken apart.‎ 23. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Enjoy American Fast Food B. Have Fun with Potatoes C. Different Uses of Potatoes D. American Food Culture B Bottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planet’s health, and people’s health may be suffering from it.‎ The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottle—sometimes more clean, sometimes not.”‎ It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesn’t have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say that’s behind the recent rise in bad teeth.‎ Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals into the water.‎ ‎3 4‎ According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down.‎ In terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.‎ So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth, you can take the following steps.‎ ● Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine.‎ ● Get a container. Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses.‎ ● Keep it cool. Don’t drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, don’t store it near chemicals, and don’t reuse plastic bottles.‎ ● Choose glass containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle!‎ 24. What is the main idea of the article?‎ A. Drinking tap water is the only choice for people.‎ B. Glass containers are better than plastic bottles. C. Plastic bottles are harmful to the environment. D. Bottled water may not be as good as we think.‎ 25. What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article?‎ A. They break down in less than 300 years. B. They can be used for many other things.‎ ‎ C. They are a risk to the environment. D. They are cheap to make.‎ 26. According to the article, we can know that bottled water is __________.‎ A. no problem for the environment B. more expensive than tap water ‎ C. always safer than tap water D. better for babies C The UN Environment Program says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.‎ Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龟) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.‎ Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.‎ With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.‎ Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:‎ ‎· the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and ‎· the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.‎ The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behavior, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.‎ 27. What is the main topic of the text?‎ A. The effect of climate change on migrating animals.‎ B. How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.‎ C. The actions required to save migrating animals.‎ D. The need for government policies to prevent global warming.‎ 28. By saying "the clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_______”.‎ A. it may be too late to save some animals B. it is time to start protecting the animals C. there is not much time to solve the problem D. it takes time to complete the actions 29. According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future? A. They will only produce female babies.‎ B. Their food supply will gradually disappear.‎ ‎5 6‎ C. Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer.‎ D. They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms.‎ 30. Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures? A. More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.‎ B. ‎20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.‎ B. Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.‎ C. Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.‎ D A whole year had gone by since Tyler and I’d hung out together and I’d grown used to people reporting bad things about him. Mostly I just signed. I’d accepted the fact that he was no longer the lad I once knew. He’d chosen the wrong kind of people to hang around with and had got into trouble. I knew these things only too well. Still, the news that he was in hospital shook me all the same. It was Beth’s brother who told me.‎ ‎“Wait for me outside the station, Ashe,” Beth had said. She was late and I kept looking at my mobile to check the time.‎ The odd thing was that I’d been thinking about Tyler since the previous afternoon. I’d seen him while walking home from college. He’d got out of a car about ten meters in front of me. It had taken me only a second to recognize who it was and I’d darted into the doorway of a closed shop to avoid coming face to face with him.‎ When eventually I’d peeked out, he was standing on the pavement speaking on the phone and his free hand was cutting the air as if he was making points while talking. He was looking around but his attention was on the call. Suddenly, he brought it to an abrupt end and slipped the mobile into a pocket. To my dismay, he spotted me. “Ashe!” he’d called, “What are you up to?” I stumbled out some words about looking for a gig to go to. I’d no idea what my hair looked like or if I’d got a spot on my chin. “I’ve got to be somewhere,” I said, stepping out of the shop doorway and making off. “ See you, Ashe,” he’d called after me.‎ I’d thought about him on and off during the previous evening. Now, while waiting for Beth, I thought about him again! I wondered what he was doing. I pictured the funny brown glasses he’d worn to read with and wondered if he still read books by George Orwell. Beth was very late. A couple of cars started hooting and there were some raised voice from a group of pedestrians. I looked through the shoppers to see if I could see Beth’s cheery face but there was no sign. I took my mobile out of my pocked again and stared at the screen, but again drew a blank. Something must have happened. Beth wouldn’t just leave me standing in the freezing cold for no reason. Tyler came into my mind again.‎ That’s when I saw her brother walking towards me.‎ 31. In the first paragraph, Ashe is surprised to discover that Tyler A. has got into trouble again. B. has made unsuitable friends.‎ ‎ C .has been admitted to hospital. D. has been the subject of rumors.‎ 32. How did Ashe feel when she’s first seen Tyler the previous day?‎ A. unsure if it was him. B. surprised that he was driving.‎ ‎ C. worried that he should see her. D. upset that he didn’t recognize her.‎ 33. When Tyler finally noticed her, Ashe felt A. relieved that he was smiling. B. sure he’d been waiting for her.‎ ‎ C. offended by something he said. D. concerned about her appearance.‎ 34. After meeting Tyler the previous day, Ashe had felt A. sorry that she’d been rude. B. curious about his current life.‎ ‎ C. guilty about refusing his invitation. D. convinced that she would see him again.‎ 35. The phrase “drew a blank” in the last paragraph suggests that A. Beth had left no message. B. Ashe’s mobile wasn’t working.‎ C. Ashe had decided to wait no longer. D. Beth was just being typically unreliable. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)‎ 根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出每段的最佳标题。选项中有一项为多余选项。‎ ‎ 注意： E 涂 AB F 涂 AC A. When a child should learn to read B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading C. What if a child has reading problems D. How you prepare a young child for reading E. What is the best way to teach a child reading F. Whether reading early promises later achievements ‎36.‎ Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents' minds at least – that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological ‎7 8‎ problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.‎ ‎37.‎ Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.‎ ‎38.‎ Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.‎ ‎39.‎ You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.‎ ‎40.‎ Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分 45 分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，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。‎ I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took the subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. The following account of what happened to me has taught me much about culture 41 .‎ Since all the 42 were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. 43 I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash it was 44 . I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or any 45 . My heart sank and I began to 46 .‎ I glanced around the car only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my 47 . I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to 48 it up, she quickly grabbed it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any 49 of the situation. Trying not to cause a(an) 50 , I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as best as I could, but she 51 my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how 52 it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to 53 me.‎ At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, 54 it on her lap. They didn’t talk; 55 this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.‎ As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman 56 handed me back my bag. But 57 I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.‎ Sadly, this considerate custom was more 58 to me than if I had been robbed. Everyone back home had heard of being robbed—that was 59 city behavior—but having a stranger hold onto someone’s bag out of 60 , in a city of twelve million people—that was truly unusual.‎ 41.

Some people do nothing but wait, while others face them bravely and conquer them. Personally, I think we should learn to face difficulties positively and make every effort to overcome them.www.21-cn-jy.com My memory drew me back to four years ago when I was a junior middle school student. At that time, I had great trouble studying English. First of all, I felt it hard to memorize English words. Besides, I didn’t dare to say anything in class when the teacher asked questions though I knew some answers. What annoyed me most was that I failed exams constantly. I was about to give up when my English teacher found problem. He encouraged me and gave me some good advice. Inspired by him, I was determined to defeat it. Following his advice, I made progress gradually.‎ From my experience, I can draw a conclusion that difficulties are weak if you are brave enough. So keep up and try to defeat them whenever you have any. Never wait for the storm to pass. Instead, learn to dance in the rain.‎
