You did not reply to that letter. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.‎ I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now on until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.‎ Please send no more books, send no more bills, and send no more angry letters demanding payment．Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid． Yours faithfully,‎ Simon Walker ‎21.The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for          .‎ A.fifteen pounds and fifty pence B.unlimited number of Cosmo Books C.a set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare D.a book containing all the plays and poems of Shakespeare ‎22.Another two weeks passed, and them there arrived .‎ A.there sets of books and a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence B.a third set of Shakespeare, a second of Dickens and a set of Moliere C.three sets of books including one in French D.the same set of Shakespeare, the novels of Moliere and a set of Dickens ‎23.Simon Walker wrote this letter to .‎ A.show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd B.complain about getting books he didn’t want C.advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd D.ask for the final solution to the problem with the unwanted books B Planning a visit to the UK?Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS  Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of hotel expense and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15. If you want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as What son when.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to ‎ find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more because of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months ahead of time, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.  LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. So it will be a good choice to consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults. 24.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may .‎ A.help travelers pass time B.attract lots of travelers to the UK C.allow travelers to make flexible plans D.cause travelers to pay more for hotel expense ‎25.“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably .‎ A.a hotel away from the train station B.the tube line to Covent Garden C.an ideal holiday destination D.the name of a travel agency ‎26.The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.‎ A.lies on the ground floor B.is located in central London C.provides cooking facilities for tourists D.costs over £100 on average per day in late September The main purpose of the passage is .‎ A.to tell visitors how to book in advance B.to supply visitors with hotel information C.to show visitors the importance of self-help D.to offer visitors some money-saving tips C It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间) when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, Can I please have a room of my own I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.”  It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could-or should-know everything about him. It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again-you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no door closed here-they had all opened up again. As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.‎ ‎29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage . A. John was moving to live with his brother. B. John was eager to get a room of his own. C. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John. D. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room ‎29.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “______”. A. Jeff finally flew out of the house B. Jeff would have less to do with his family  C. Jeff needed his right to privacy D. Jeff got tired of those familiar stories 30.How did the author feel about her children’s sense of independence?‎ A. Delighted. B. Jealous.（嫉妒的） C. Confused. D. Embarrassed.‎ ‎31.It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. the children did not like to live with adults  B. all her three kids made the author feel ‎ depressed C. none of the members in the family thought the same way D. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids ‎ D Think again before raising an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling or colleague as they could help make you smarter.‎ ‎ New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be lifted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching careers. The study challenges the common belief that intelligence is static by the age of 18. Current scientific consensus（共识）suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.‎ After this point IQ scores stabilize.But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at a university of New Zealand, argues that people can "upgrade" their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation from others is crucial as the "brain seems to be rather like a muscle-the more you use it, the stronger it gets". However, the opposite is also true - so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.‎ ‎ He found the. "cognitive （认知) quality" of a family changes the IQs of all members, especially children. It can "lift" or hold back, depending on the "gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents". A bright ten-year-old with siblings of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.‎ Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Therefore, the best way to boost IQ level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.‎ ‎32.We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. as the age grows, you will become smarter B. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18‎ C. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a sibling D. after 18, you still have the possibility to become smarter ‎33. The underlined word "static" in the 3rd paragraph probably means  .‎ A. unstable   B. fixed   C. varied   D. repeated ‎34. James Flynn holds the belief that       .‎ A. intellectual stimulation from others can change one's IQ B. people should completely avoid those intellectually challenged C. one's IQ could be held back if he has bright brothers or sisters  ‎ D. one's IQ is least influenced by the understanding level of a family ‎35.What's the best title for the passage?‎ A. Genetics Determines Intelligence.   B. Watch Out for Intelligence Falling.‎ C. Bright Siblings Make You Smarter.  D. Brain's Just Like Muscle.‎ 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。‎ A garden ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, ‎ Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts?  36  . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. ● 37    Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers.  38  . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years. ●Recall your childhood memories    Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important.  39  how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth.  40  then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.‎ A. Know why you garden B. Find a good place for your own garden C. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers D. It’s our experience of the garden that matters E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too G. For each of those gardens, writer down the strongest memory you have ‎ 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 Make the Most of What You Have Got ‎ For Nick Vujicic，life was going to be difficult from the day he was born．When Nick arrived into this world，he   41  everyone．He was not like the other babies.
