They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.‎ The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters (猎手) than the males (雄狮). But the males don’t mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.‎ Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, it’s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.‎ When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.‎ Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on another’s back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.‎ ‎29. By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions _______.‎ A. are cruel animals ‎ B. are clever animals C. like to take advantage of other animals D. like to take every chance to eat ‎30. According to the text, which of the following is true?‎ A. Lions make most kills in the daytime.‎ B. Males care more about eating than active killing.‎ C. Lions are curious about things happening around them.‎ D. It doesn’t take lions too much time to make a kill.‎ ‎31. How can we know that lions are social animals?‎ A. They depend on each other. ‎ B. They look after each other well.‎ C. They readily share what they have. ‎ D. They enjoy each other’s company.‎ ‎32. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Powerful Lions ‎ B. Lions at Work and Play C. Lions, Social Cats ‎ D. Lions, Skilled Hunters D.‎ Sleeping in is one of the best parts of the weekend. After a long, exhausting work week, sometimes all you want to do is sleep. On Friday night, you slide under the covers, smiling in ‎ anticipation. Now you can finally catch up on your sleep. Except you can’t. When you open your eyes Saturday morning, it’s still early. If this were a weekday, you’d be up before your alarm. So what’s the deal? We hate to break it to you, but you’ve pretty much done this to yourself. Your body is very good at recognizing patterns and adjusting accordingly. If you’ve got a 9-to-5 job, you’re getting up early five days a week. This effectively sets your body clock to wake you at a certain time each day. You can shut off your alarm clock, but your body clock will just keep ticking. There’s another reason that you probably don’t want to think about: You’re just not as young as you used to be. We need less sleep as we get older. Babies need between 16 and 20 hours. Teenagers should (but often don’t) get nine hours a night. Younger and middle-aged adults need eight. In general, the older you get, the harder it is to snooze the day away. Even if you do manage to sleep in, you may never fully catch up on your sleep. If your body needs eight hours every night and you only get six or seven from Monday to Friday, you’d have to sleep an extra five to ten hours on Saturday to make it up. And experts say even that may not be enough. The bottom line: Sleep when you can, and enjoy those extra weekend morning hours. Who doesn’t want a longer weekend? 33．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1? 　A. You know that you will oversleep on Saturday morning. B. You needn’t get up early on Saturday morning, so you will have a better sleep. C. Since you don’t work on Saturday, you needn’t go to sleep as usual. D. You know that even though you needn’t get up early on Saturday morning, you will wake as usual. 34．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. If you have a 9-to-5 job, you are likely to develop a flexible body clock. B. Once you have set your body clock, it is not easy to change it. C. The author will not break the pattern, but you will do it yourself. D. If you adjust your body clock accordingly, you are healthy. 35．Which is the best title of the passage? A. Why can't I sleep in on weekends anymore? B. Why can’t I catch up on my sleep? ‎ ‎ C. How to turn off my body clock on Saturdays? D. How to get more sleep on Saturday mornings?‎ 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。‎ No matter what type of business you run, it has to deal with things that go wrong from your customer’s point of view. Complaints can be a great source of information for organizations to make corrections as well as further improvements. 36． ‎ ‎1.You should listen actively to what the customer has to say by maintaining comfortable eye contact. 37． ‎ ‎2. 38． It’s important for you to know that your apology must appear sincere to the customer, and not an empty excuse. And also you should show the customer you’ve accepted the responsibility and provide him with choices or you’ll do something about his complaint. ‎ ‎3.Talk with the client and discover the best means to resolve his problem. 39． In this case it’s important to let your customer know an estimation(估计)of how long it will take to take action on his complaint. ‎ ‎4.A simple “thank you” is one way to let the customer know you appreciate the time and effort they’ve taken to inform you about a problem with your company’s service or product that you need to know about.‎ ‎5.Create a procedure for recording different types of customer complaints. 40． ‎ A. They are a valuable source of information to determine various root causes that need to be addressed within your company.‎ B. You should also show your customer that you do understand him by giving full attention.‎ C. When you have received a complaint, you should apologize for the failure the customer has identified.‎ D. Listen to your customer’s complaints and you can improve your service.‎ E. So it’s important to learn to deal with customer complaints efficiently.‎ F. Don’t feel ashamed of the failure in your service or products.‎ G. There will be times when you’ll be unable to resolve the issue immediately.‎ 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。‎ ‎ When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race.
