It is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has already climbed about the horizon; the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food. But some of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, putting off the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day's work in the fields after a sleepless night.‎ Throughout most of her life, Bridget Mary, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just left. Twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home. The eldest son, heir (继承人) to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work (they employ no farm laborers); the youngest daughter is still at school. Two years ago, Bridget Mary went to England to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband, Terry. He himself is an Irishman who used to live in Dublin and now has a wellpaid job in a light engineering works in England. They got engaged and started saving. Now they are thinking of buying a small house near Terry's factory.‎ The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning. Another couple were being married at the same time. Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations：four luxurious cars brought bride, bridegroom, family and friends home, and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny livingroom, hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures. A big meal was given; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or sherry(葡萄酒). And while the remains of the feast were being cleared ‎ away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside.‎ ‎21. What makes it clear that this is a country wedding?‎ A. People are up so early. B. Birds are singing.‎ C. The people's occupations. D. The bride is one of a large family.‎ ‎22. From the passage, we know that _________．‎ A．nobody worried about the cost of the wedding because the two couples who got married at the same time would share the cost B．the family is too poor to employ any farm workers C．the author thought much of the country wedding D．the author left the moment the wedding ceremony was completed ‎23.The young couple will not live on the farm after their marriage because ________.‎ A. there is no room for them B. they have a house in England C. it's the bride's brother who will inherit(继承) the farm D. they are both employed elsewhere ‎24. Why were the guests taken for a ride round the countryside?‎ A. To give them an opportunity of seeing the surroundings. B. To get them out of the way.‎ C. To enable the neighbours to see the married people. D. As a way of passing the time.‎ B One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word ＂Poems＂ appeared in big, hot pink letters.‎ ‎ ＂Is it good?＂ I asked her.‎ ‎ ＂Yeah,＂ she answered. ＂There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.＂ I leaned forward.‎ ‎ ＂‘Patty Poem,’＂ she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:‎ She never puts her toys away,‎ ‎ Just leaves them scattered① where they lay,… ①散乱的 The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:‎ ‎ When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重 ‎ I’ll miss her harum-scarum③ noise, ③莽撞的 ‎ And look in vain④ for scattered toys. ④徒劳地 And I’ll be sad. ‎ ‎ A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.‎ ‎ ＂It’s you, honey,＂ My mother said sadly.‎ ‎ To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the ＂she＂in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying. ‎ ‎＂What’s wrong?＂my mother asked.‎ ‎＂Oh Mama,＂I cried.＂I don’t want to grow up ever!＂‎ She smiled.＂Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?＂‎ ‎＂Okay,＂I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.‎ ‎ I have since fallen in love with other poems, but ＂Patty Poem＂ remains my poem. After all, ＂Patty Poem＂ gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.‎ ‎25. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?‎ A. It was a thick enough book. B. Something on its cover caught her eye.‎ C. Her mother was reading it with interest. D. It has a meaningful title.‎ ‎26. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ___________ at first.‎ A. sad B. excited C. horrified D. confused ‎27. The writer’s mother liked to read ＂Patty Poem＂ probably because ___________.‎ A. it reflected her own childhood B. it was written in simple language C. it was composed by a famous poet D. it gave her a hint of what would happen ‎28. It can be concluded from the passage that＂Patty Poem＂leads the writer to ___________.‎ A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles C. find her eagerness to grow up D. experience great homesickness C It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of the thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.‎ Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts ，but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (发觉) something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a sixyearold child learns to swing a baseball bat.‎ Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for strong data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instantaccess memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “word” —ready for instant use. An average US teenager probably recognises the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider，for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognise on sight.‎ The use of words is the basis of the advanced problemsolving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.‎ ‎29. According to the passage，memory is considered to be ________.‎ A. an ability to store experiences for future use B. the basis for decision making and problem solving C. an intelligence typically possessed by human beings D. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words ‎30. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being A.Computers have better memory than a child does B.Computers are as intelligent as a teenager ‎ C.Computers can understand as many as 100, 000 words D.Human beings are far superior to computersshows that ________.‎ ‎31. The whole passage implies that ________.‎ A. only human beings have problemsolving intelligence B. a person's memory is different from a computer's in every respect C. animals are able to solve only very simple problems D. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence ‎32. The topic of the passage is ________‎ A. What Would Life Be Like Without Memory? B. Memory Is Of Vital Importance to Life C. How Is A person's Memory Different from An Animal's Or A Computer's ?‎ D. What Is Contained In Memory?‎ D I was born and raised in France into this way of life: French women don't get fat. There is a very good reason for that. Among the French middle and professional classes, it is totally unacceptable for a woman to be fat. Little girls, from a very young age, learn not to eat too much. It is mainly a class thing. When I read that “French women love to shop and prepare food”， I laugh. Many of us who work and have a family would rather put our feet up with a good book. To describe France as the country of slender women is a lie. A quick trip to Calais or any town of the industrial north is guaranteed to be an eye－opener.‎ Yes, at 44, I am still amazingly slim. This is hardly surprising; apart from the time when I was pregnant, I think I have been underweight for most of my life. There is no glory in this, since the truth must be said: I eat very little, not out of force, but mostly out of habit.‎ Yes, I shop and cook like a traditional Frenchwoman, but I don't think this is something you can easily pass on to British women. I tend to go to local shops every day and this is not something people are used to doing here, mainly because it takes a lot of time. I can afford to do so, since I work only on a part－time basis.‎ Of course, I still enjoy a good meal at a (French) restaurant, and I will have a glass of wine at dinner, but only one glass, since drinking other than with food is a social taboo for women in France. To be seen drunk for a woman is a social embarrassment from which she is not likely to recover.‎ Dear British friends, do not believe that patronizing(自认为高人一等) myth about French women. The thing is that many of us French women are probably unaware of how little we eat, simply because it has become second nature.‎ ‎33. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?‎ A. It's totally acceptable for a French woman to keep slender.‎ B. Most of French women in the industrial north are actually fat.‎ C. Most of French women are forced not to eat too much for figure.‎ D. A French women will feel embarrassed when seen drunk in public.‎ ‎34. Why did the author mention the fact that “French women don't get fat”？‎ A. To point out a fact. B. To support her opinion C. To give an argumentative topic. D. To tell her own experience.‎ ‎35. What is the conclusion of the author in this passage?‎ A. French women love to shop and prepare food.‎ B. French women don't get fat because they eat less from a very young age.‎ C. French women aren't used to going shopping, not to speak of preparing food.‎ D. French women spend much less time shopping and preparing food than British women.‎ 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。‎ How to teach kids responsibility We'd all like our kids to develop into responsible people. How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility? Here are some ideas：‎ Start them with tasks when they're young.‎ ‎___36___ They can do a lot more than you think if you're patient and creative. Encourage them to begin at an early age, and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life.‎ Don't use rewards with your kids.‎ If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility, they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves. ___37___‎ Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.‎ If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere, let them deal with the consequences. Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game. ___38___ If you rescue them every time they make a mistake, they'll never learn responsibility.‎ ‎___39___‎ This is where they'll learn it from. Take care of your stuff. Try to be on time. They're watching ‎ you very closely.‎ Give them an allowance early in their life.‎ Let them make their own money decisions from an early age. They'll learn their lessons in a hurry. ___40___‎ A．Model responsible behavior for your kids.‎ B．Maybe they have to buy a new one if it's lost.‎ C．Don't help them out if they run out of money.‎ D．Train your kids to be responsible and careful.‎ E．They won't learn that if they're focused on what they're going to “get”．‎ F．Young kids have a strong desire to help out, even as young as age two.‎ G．They'll pick up on this belief and they'll tend to rise to the level of expectation.‎ 第三部分　英语知识运用(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。‎ ‎ Last weekend I decided to treat myself to relaxation by reading a magazine.

Western festivals, especially Christmas, are now welcomed by/gain popularity quickly among Chinese, especially the new generation. Should we Chinese celebrate these festivals? I would like to say we Chinese should not be too eager and excited to observe Christmas, because we should value our own culture and tradition first. Although celebrating western festivals shows China’s opening up to the world, over appreciating other cultures will have a bad effect on keeping our own. So my suggestion is that we regard Christmas as an opportunity to shop and to enjoy ourselves, but at the same time realize that our traditional festivals are more precious.‎
