第3题：
I arrived in the United Stated on February 6, 1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.
Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn't speak a word of English, I couldn't tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn't understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
When I returned to the hotel, I was tired out, but I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings, big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.
1. On the way to his hotel, the writer _____.
A. was silent all the time
B. kept talking to his friend
C. looked out of the window with great interest
D. showed his friend something he brought with him
2. He went to _____ to get something to eat.

B. a pub
C. a café room
D. a nearby restaurant
3. He did not have what he really wanted, because _____.
A. he only made some gestures
B. he did not order at all
C. he could not make himself understood
D. the waiter was unwilling to serve
4. The waiter _____.
A. knew what he would order
B. finally understood what he said
C. took the order through his gestures
D. served the same thing the man at the next table was having

第4题：
Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage One People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like- Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends. People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.
(1).The home matters greatly to Englishmen.
A.T
B.F
(2).They love houses more than gardens.
A.T
B.F
(3).person often likes to use something to mark his / her space belonging to himself / herself.
A.T
B.F
(4).On the train to London, the man beside the writer placed his briefcase on the table.
A.T
B.F
(5).The writer tried to get back his space by taking all his papers out.
A.T
B.F
正确答案: (1).A (2).B (3).A (4).B (5).A

第5题：
I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person，he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.
I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts，talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him，to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.
After almost two years of time，thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls，I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally，contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart，my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.
Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife，with me-and I found out later，with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically，he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.
Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.
It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.
A．the man was a single person in reality
B．the woman was the man's only girlfriend
C．the man had too many girlfriends on the net
D．the woman had countless online boyfriends
正确答案：C

We have all had 17 of feeling separated and lonely. I have felt lonely being in a relationship that was void of 18 connection. Feeling separation doesn′t 19 anything to do with being alone vs. being with people--it is about the human desire to feel connected by being seen and 20 by another person.

We always have a choice 27 whether we move towards separation or connection.

It was a normal summer night. Humidity（湿气）hung in the thick air.

for the next day.My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body.Finally,I gathered enough strength to sit up.I looked
out of my small window into the night.There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky,
giving off a magic light.
I couldn't stand the pressure anymore,so I did what I always do to make myself feel
better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste.I cleaned my
teeth as if there was no tomorrow.Back and forth,up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement,some life.Gladiator,
my cat, frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出）his sad song. He was on the old
orange couch（长沙发）,sitting up on his front legs,waiting for something to happen. He
looked at me as if to say, "I'm lonely, pet me. I need a good hug（紧抱）."Even the
couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch.This couch represented my

As I held Gladiator,my heart started beating heavily.My mind was flooded with

问答题Practice 1 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been strengthened. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.正确答案： 【范文】
One afternoon, the author was driving his car. He was happy at first and sang along with the radio. But after a while his good mood was ended by a piece of news that a rich man had broken the law. Then he came across four bikers who were collecting money for needy children. Because of their goodness and kindness, the author concluded that people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance. At this moment, the man felt happy again.
Nowadays, we often judge others by their appearance. If a person looks rough and dangerous, we tend to regard him as a bad man, let alone speak to him and help him. In my opinion, we mustn’t judge books by their covers. We should learn that looks matter little and actions matter most. When we meet people in need, we should give them a hand even though they look somewhat rough, because kindness may live in their souls.解析： 暂无解析 -

2.C 空格前面是在描述“我”在礼堂外面等候的情况。空格后面说到,他已经超过了五分钟了,使我与他见面的时间只剩下了10分钟。C选项说“我大为吃惊,他的演讲没有在规定的时间内结束”,可见,C选项填在此处与前后文语意连贯。故选C。
3.F 空格前面讲到,“我”在名片后面写了个便条提醒他还有个约会,并推开门,向他走去。根据逻辑分析,接下来就应该是把名片递给他并走回来。因此,F选项填在此处最合适。故选F。
4.A 空格前面说到,百事老总看了看名片,又看了看我,并说出了“我”的名字。由此可推知,他同意和我谈话。因此,接下来理应是介绍他们谈话的相关内容。A选项说“我们在学校的一间办公室见面并关上了门”,天在此处语意连贯。故选A。
5.D 空格前面的句子说到,“我”最珍视的他给与我的就是他鼓励“我”继续按照“我”的做法去做。而根据前文可知,“我”所做的就是有胆量打断一个总裁的演讲。D选项说的就是总裁对“我”所作鼓励的具体内容,填在此处语意连贯,符合逻辑。故选D。解析： 暂无解析 -

第17题：
Years ago，l lived in a building in a large city． The building next door was only a few feet away from mine． There was a woman who lived there，whom I had never met，yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon，sewing or reading．
After several months had gone by，l began to notice that her window was dirty． Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself，"l wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window． It really looks terrible．”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including washing the window on the inside．Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning，l sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest． What a surprise! Across the way， the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible． Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me．l had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window，but all the time I ．was watching hers through my own dirty window．
That was quite an important lesson for me． How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings? Since then，whenever I wanted to judge(评判) someone，l asked myself first，"Am 1 100-king at him through my own dirty window?"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly．
( )11． The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because ________ ．
A． the woman's window was dirty
B． the writer's window was dirty
C． the woman lived nearby
D． the writer was near-sighted

Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night.Humidity（湿气）hung in the thick air.
I couldn't go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations
for the next day.My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body.Finally,I gathered enough strength to sit up.I looked
out of my small window into the night.There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky,
giving off a magic light.
I couldn't stand the pressure anymore,so I did what I always do to make myself feel
better.I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste.I cleaned my
teeth as if there was no tomorrow.Back and forth,up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement,some life.Gladiator,
my cat , frightened me as he meowed（喵喵地唱出）his sad song.He was on the old
orange couch（长沙发）,sifting up on his front legs,waiting for something to happen.He
looked at me as if to say, "I'm lonely, pet me.I need a good hug（紧抱）."Even the
couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch.This couch represented my
parents' marriage,my birth,and hundreds of other little events.
As I held Gladiator,my heart started beating heavily.My mind was flooded with
questions:What's life?Am I really alive?Are you listening to me?Every time I moved my
hand down Gladiator's body,I had a new thought;each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the heat and the next day's surprise.The atmosphere was so full of
warmth and silence that I sank into its arms.Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms,I
felt all my worries slowly move away.The author of the passage could not go to sleep partly because
A:it was too cold.
B:it was too dry.
C:he had a cold.
D:he had a fever.答案：C解析： -
