One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words.‎ However, let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.‎ We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾) , we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural (复数形式) of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?‎ How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?‎ English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That's why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.‎ 25. According to the passage________.‎ A. there should be eggs in an eggplant B. sweetmeats and sweetbreads are different C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree D. boxing rings should be round 26. What does the author use most to prove his idea?‎ A. Plurals. B. Paradoxes. C. Comparisons.（比较） D. Synonyms.（同义词）‎ 27. The underlined words "a wise guy" in paragraph 3 probably mean "______ ".‎ A. somebody wise B. a valuable chance C. an opposite word D. a stupid person 28. The last paragraph is written to show .‎ A. English is important B. a word may have several definitions ‎ C. human beings are creative D. why people invented English C Sometimes people call each other “scared cat", but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.‎ Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger and regretted later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher or told somebody you were lonely and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.‎ Does this mean that it's always smarter to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings like anger hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are you'd see little fruit flies hovering(盘旋) all over them. They'd be rotten. You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.‎ ‎29. The best title for this article is______.‎ ‎ A. What Happens to An Excited Person B. What Happens to A Frightened Cat ‎ C. Emotions Affect Our Bodies D. Feelings That People Have ‎30. According to the passage, human beings get into trouble because ______.‎ A. they are not as alert as animals B. they always do something wrong to other people C. they sometimes can't control their feelings D. they don't pay attention to their physical changes ‎31. The underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to________.‎ ‎ A. bad emotion B. a bottle C. physical illness D. a rotten banana ‎32. The author mainly intends to tell us to ______.‎ A. make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings B. give us some advice on how to express our feelings C. tell us that it isn't good to keep feelings inside D. make us know that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely D American scientists have developed the first material that repairs itself. The material is a form of plastic that has been engineered to fill breaks in its surface.‎ Plastics are used today in everything. Scientists wanted to find a way to make objects made of plastic last longer. The researchers hope their new discovery can be used to make objects that are difficult or impossible to replace.‎ The surface of plastic objects breaks over time. Very small breaks develop every time a plastic object is used. The researchers wanted to find out how to stop plastic from developing small breaks that weaken and destroy it. They found the answer in the chemical structure of plastic itself. The research team found a way to make plastic that contains very small balloons filled with monomer(单体) liquid. When the new plastic cracks, the monomer liquid is let out and flows into the crack. Thus the break is repaired. The repaired plastic has seventyfive percent of the strength of undamaged plastic.‎ The new selfrepairing plastic is not yet ready for production. But it has several possible uses. One could be in space vehicles where parts cannot be repaired or replaced. Another possible use might be in bridges. And it could be used in people, to replace bone joints that have become broken or damaged.‎ ‎33. The passage mainly talks about_______.‎ A. plastic that repairs itself B. the chemical structure of plastic C. permanent material invented D. small balloons that makes plastic stronger ‎34. We know from the passage that the repair is done as_______.‎ ‎ A. the cracked plastic parts are changed B. the plastic cracks ‎ C. the liquid is put into the plastic cracks D. the plastic is made ‎35. The scientists are planning to use the new material in space vehicles, bridges and people because________.‎ A. the plastic parts in them are required to last longer B. they want to experiment in these places first C. the new material cannot be used elsewhere D. the plastic parts in them are easily broken or damaged 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。‎ Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:‎ 1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37‎ 2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on.‎ Are you making one loaf of bread? 38 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.‎ 3. ‎39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.‎ Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live! A. Try new things.‎ B. Ability is easily improved.‎ C. Make three or four instead.‎ D. Understand your food better.‎ E. Cooking is a burden for many people.‎ F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.‎ G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.‎ 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，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ On August 26, 1999, New York City experienced a torrential downpour.
