It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunk (树干) .When the land was drained (排水) later, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other. In 1975, the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were made strong again. The tower leans at about five degrees.‎ The Leaning Tower of Pisa ‎ The work of building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使稳固) its foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side. Now it leans just an angle of 3. 97 degrees.‎ Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi ‎ Completed in 2011, the Capital Gate tower in Abu Dhabi was designed to lean eighteen degrees. The building stands next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and contains, among other things, a fine hotel with wonderful views of the ‎ harbour. Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, the tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city.‎ Big Ben of London The building leans 0. 26 degrees to the northwest. This was mainly caused by the engineering projects that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s. The tower, which has been continuously open since it was completed in 1858, has nowhere near the lean of the Tower of Pisa and is still completely safe to enter.‎ ‎11. The underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 2 probably means “__________”.‎ ‎ A. danger B. church C. castle D. treasure ‎12. What can we learn about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?‎ ‎ A. It didn’t lean until ten years after its completion.‎ ‎ B. It took almost two hundred years to complete.‎ ‎ C. It was built on foundations of oak tree trunks.‎ ‎ D. It has been open since it was completed.‎ ‎13. Which of the following towers leans the most according to the text?‎ ‎ A. The church tower of Suurhusen.‎ ‎ B. The Leaning Tower of Pisa.‎ ‎ C. Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi.‎ ‎ D. Big Ben of London.‎ B Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be even more challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads.‎ Here’s an example: You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a “wazzock”? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although there’s nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English – the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these peculiar (古怪的) usages filling its pages.‎ How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don’t like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.‎ In an interview for the BBC’s website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theater’s popularity also created an incentive (刺激) to invent new words.‎ With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” – which both, ironically, mean “nonsense”.‎ While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.‎ ‎14. According to the text, why may non-native speakers find it hard to learn English?‎ A. Dictionaries don’t explain odd usages of many words. ‎ B. A great many strange words make no sense to them.‎ C. The English textbooks they study are usually out of date.‎ D. They are unable to understand the humor in conversations.‎ ‎15. With the example of “spend a penny”, the author intends to _________.‎ A. explain how some strange phrases were created ‎ B. explain the meaning and background of the phrase C. show what typical British sense of humour is D. show British people’s attitude toward strange words ‎16. According to David Crystal, _________.‎ A. many of the words that Shakespeare invented were nonsense ‎ B. Shakespeare’s works are boring because of the odd words involved C. the theatre’s success in the 17th century inspired the birth of many odd ‎ words D. the odd words in Shakespeare’s plays contributed a lot to the theatre’s popularity ‎17. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The development of the British English.‎ B. Shakespeare’s influence on strange words in British English.‎ C. The origin and meanings of British humour.‎ D. Some reasons for the large number of odd words in British English.‎ C Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic (经济的) reasons — why they should be preserved? So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed? ‎ In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.‎ It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.‎ Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky ‎ choice.‎ ‎18. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? ‎ A. Some of them are not attractive.‎ B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.‎ C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.‎ D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.‎ ‎19. Which of the following is TRUE according to the author? ‎ A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.‎ B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.‎ C. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.‎ D. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.‎ ‎20. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “__________”． ‎ A. destroy old buildings B. choose new architectural style C. put things in a different place D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings ‎21. What is the main purpose of the passage? ‎ A. To explain why people dislike change.‎ B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.‎ C. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.‎ D. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.‎ ‎ D It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.‎ ‎“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”‎ ‎ But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.‎ ‎ Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.‎ ‎ “Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”‎ ‎ “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license (执照).”‎ That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty — a thousand dollars for the new engine — not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.‎ ‎22. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?‎ ‎ A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.‎ ‎ B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.‎ ‎ C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.‎ ‎ D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.‎ ‎23. Which of the following statements is true?‎ ‎ A. Someone else was taking care of the injured people.‎ ‎ B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.‎ ‎ C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.‎ ‎ D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.‎ ‎24. The driver of the Firebird __________.‎ ‎ A. took a wrong turn on the way B. had some trouble with his car C. was stopped by the police officer D. paid for the expenses of the accident ‎25. What is probably the best title for the article?‎ ‎ A. Losing His Way? B. Going My Way?‎ C. Fun All the Way? D. Help on the Way?‎ 第二节 选句填空（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项。请将答案按题号涂到相应的答卷题号上。‎ Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit — and that can be a very annoying thing. 26 Read on for some techniques worth trying.‎ ‎1. 27 ‎ People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 28 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.‎ ‎2. Go for a walk.‎ Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 29 ‎ ‎3. Learn something new. ‎ Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and ‎ are physically active at the same time. 30 Or go dancing with your friends.‎ A. Focus on the future.‎ B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.‎ C. It should be something like learning gardening.‎ D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.‎ E. But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with life-changing events.‎ F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.‎ G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.‎ ‎ 第三部分：语言知识及应用（共三节，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、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。‎ For a long time Gabriel didn’t want to be involved in music at all.
