第1题：
The Extended Family
Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a 'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local authorities when her old house was demolished.
She came from a large family with six girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother than by herself, because she always worked.
As the family grew, they moved out of their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still that of the extended family. "All my family used to live around Denby Street," said Mrs Sharp, "and we were always in and out of each other's houses." When she went to the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or in the market.
"You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday, either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said.
When her babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and neighbours would help – they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with everyone, whatever they were like."
1.Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas? ()
A.Because she had to work there.
B.Because she didn’t like the old place at all.
C.Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.
2.When she got married, she lived ______.
A.together with her parents all the time
B.together with her parents for some time
C.far away from her parents’ house
3.Why did she know so many people? ()
A.Because she was easy going.
B.Because they were either her relatives or schoolmates.
C.Because she was good at making friends with people.
4.The sentence “I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business.” in the last Para. means ______.
A.I had one neighbour who was always warm-hearted.
B.I had one neighbour who was always ready to help us.
C.I had one neighbour who always showed her interests in our private affairs.
5.What does this passage mainly deal with? ()
A.What the extended family is like.
B.The relationship between Mrs Sharp and her neighbour.
C.How Mrs Sharp brings her children up.

第4题：
B
I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
41. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.
A. she uses English in foreign trade
B. she is fascinated by languages
C. she works as a translator
D. she is a writer by profession
正确答案：D

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence,Italy,while her wealthy English parents
were traveling in Europe.As a child,she traveled to many places with her family and
learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17,she told her family that she was going to help sick people.
Her parents did not approve,but Nightingale was determined.
She traveled to hospitals all over Europe.She saw that doctors were working too hard.
She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care.Nightingale felt that
women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more,they needed special training in
how to take care of sick people.Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing.
Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called
Gentlewomen During Illness.These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854,England was fighting a war with Russia.War reporters wrote about the
terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded.People demanded that
something be done about it.A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take
some nurses into the war hospitals.So,in November 1854,Nightingale finally got to work
in a hospital.
She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first,the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their
hospitals.They did not believe that women could help.But in fact,the nurses did make a
difference.They worked around the clock,tending the sick.Thanks to their hard work,
many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war,Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes.Finally,in 1860,
she started the Nightingale School for Nurses.In time,thanks to Florence Nightingale,
nursing became an important part of medicine.Florence Nightingale was born into a rich

Britain's Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight,going out on sailing trips with her aunt.She loved it
so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18,she
sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year" award.
But Ellen really became famous in 2001.Aged only 24,she was one of the only two women who entered
the Vendee Globe round the world solo race,which lasted 100 days.Despite many problems,she came second
in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality.When she was younger,
she lived in a kind of hut（棚屋）for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a trails-
atlantic race.Then she took a one-way ticket to France,bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht,slept
under it while she was repairing it,and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997,alone
for 33 days.
Ellen has had to learn many things,because sailing single一handed means that she has to be her own cap-
tamn,electrician,sailmaker,engineer,doctor,journalist,cameraman and cook.She also has to be very fit,and
because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time while she's in the middle of the ocean,she has
trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage. Once,In the middle of the ocean,she had to climb the mast（桅杆）of a boat to
repair the sails一at four o'clock in the morning,with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many
hours to make the repairs;Ellen says:"I was exhausted when I came down.It's hard to describe how it feels
to be up there.It's like trying to hold onto a big pole,which for me is just too big to get my arms around,with
someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off."
But in her diary , Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile（值得的）:" A beautiful
sunrise started the day,with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.I have a very strong feeling of
pleasure,being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this.I just feel lucky to be here."According to Paragraph 4,which of the following statements is NOT true?
A:She has to be her own teacher.
B:She has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
C:She has to be very fit.
D:She has to learn to repair sails.答案：A解析：短文第二段提到“她是进入Vendee Globe环球个人帆船比赛的两个女选手之一”,“尽 管遇到了许多困难，在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名。"C选项与文章内容相符，因此，答 案为C。
短文第三段第二句指出：“为了努力获得赞助去参加穿越大西洋的帆船比赛，她在一个 棚屋里住了三年。”选项D中的短语get financial support for a race与文章中的短语get sponsor-ship to compete in a transatlantic race同义。因此，D为正确答案。
solo意为“唯一的；单独的”,single-handed意为“单人完成的；独自”。
仔细阅读短文第四段可以判断出选项A“她必须是自己的教师”没有在这一段出现。 因此，这个选项不符合文章内容。
短文最后一段记述了Ellen当时的心情，清楚地表现了Ellen快乐的心情。因此，答案 为D。第5部分：补全短文 -
