One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th,1958,Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying,“I promised you a gift,and here it is.” What an honour!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning,however,I found its bed empty.My doll was gone!I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days,I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful”,and “dying”,which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming.“Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said,pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.“If your baby brother lives,that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke,his eyes filled with tears.I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say,“What?He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs.“The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”
“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home.I ran downstairs.My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty;they were filled with love!

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from“100 places to visit” to “100 books to read ”.Aren’t you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”:
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities.However,not every dolphin will welcome having their busy,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water.Worse yet,when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists,they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret.Dolphins look like smiling at you,but actually they’re just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile.The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong,after all.But they can be quite annoying,standing in front of you,holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything.In fact,it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours,many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate,she wouldn’t just be smiling,she’d be laughing.
So,still long to see the Mona Lisa?If you want to find out more about the list,read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die.Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.
60.According to the passage,swimming with dolphins 　　　. 
A.is the world’s most popular tourist activity
B.gives fun to both tourists and dolphins
C.will make tourists busy and tired
D.can cause danger to dolphins
61.What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A.It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.
B.It is not as satisfying as expected.
C.Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.
D.Queuing for hours is worthwhile.
62.The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author 　　　. 
A.thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists
B.believes other lists are not humorous enough
C.intends to persuade people to read more lists
D.wants to provide a list different from other lists
63.What is the main purpose of the passage?

D.To recommend tourist activities.

C
(2012重庆,C)
There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle.When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary,“I never saw a lovelier spot.” And she didn’t even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined.In certain moments,this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes.When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light,the rivers,teeming with fish,can turn into streams of gold.As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy,near the Inverlochy Castle,any frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water.It’s just you and purple,pink,white flowers,seeking a perfect harmony.If you are a new comer to fishing,learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun.For many,fishing is more than a sport;it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day’s fishing.Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland,the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains.Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains,and reaching its 1,343-metre top is a challenge.But it’s not just what goes up that matters;what comes down is unique.More than 900 metres high,on the mountain’s north face,lies an all-important source of pure water.Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh” or “water of life”;and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in scotland’s best known drink:whisky.
64.The story of Queen Victoria is to show that 　　　. 
A.the Queen is rich in tour experience
B.the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C.tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D.1873 is a special year for the Queen
65.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By giving descriptions.
B.By following time order.
C.By analyzing causes.
D.By making comparisons.
66.What is Ben Nevis special for?
A.The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.
B.The beauty of its surroundings.
C.The water from the mountain.
D.The challenge up to its top.
67.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B.To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C.To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D.To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

D
(2012重庆,D)
To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians(基督教徒)have ever cooked up.For them,the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil(邪恶的).So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America,a land mistakenly considered to be Eden,everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion.Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden,the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake,a plant that was thought to have come from Hell (地狱).What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits.Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit,the general population considered them one and the same,too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato,and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet.In the 1880s,the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruit — or is it a vegetable?” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an“evil fruit”.
But in the end tomatoes carried the day.The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson,and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820,people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead.“What are you afraid of?” he shouted.“I’ll show you fools that these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato.Some people fainted.But he survived and,according to a local story,set up a tomato-canning factory.
68.The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because 　　　. 
A.it made Christians evil
B.it was the apple of Eden
C.it came from a forbidden land
D it was religiously unacceptable
69.What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A.The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down.
B.There was little progress in the study of the tomato.
C.The tomato was still refused in most western countries.
D.Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato.
70.What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?
A.To make himself a hero.
B.To remove people’s fear of the tomato.
C.To speed up the popularity of the tomato.
D.To persuade people to buy products from his factory.
71.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A To challenge people’s fixed concepts of the tomato.
B To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato.
C.To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato.
D.To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence.

In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”,John Keynes,a famous economist,wrote that human needs fall into two classes:absolute needs,which are independent of what others have,and relative needs,which make us feel superior to our fellows.He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的),this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority.He was greatly mistaken,however,in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods,including even basic goods like food.When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner,for example.the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them.Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality.For example,Porsche,a famous car producer,has a model which was considered perhaps the best sports car on the market.Priced at over $120,000,it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration.But in 2004,the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration.People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting.To get them,however,they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands,Keynes actually reduced such demands.However,the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
72.According to the passage,John Keynes believed that 　　　. 
A.desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B.absolute needs come from our sense of superiority
C.relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D.absolute needs are stronger than relative needs
73.What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
A.They want to show their superiority.
B.They find specialty important to meals.
C.Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.
D.Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.
74.What does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Understanding.
B.Increase.
C.Difference.
D.Study.
75.The author of the passage argues that 　　　. 
A.absolute needs have no limits
B.demands for quality are not insatiable
C.human desires influence ideas of quality
D.relative needs decide most of our spending

21.B　考查代词。第一句对Thursday和Friday进行了选择,而第二句中“I’ll be off to London then.”,清楚地表明了上面说的那两天都不会去,所以表示两者都不,故用neither。either用于两者之中任何一个都行;both “两者都”;none 表示三者及三者以上都不。句意:——约翰,什么时候我们再见面,周四还是周五?——那两天都不行。在那期间我要到伦敦去。
22.B　考查时态。由第二句中“I’m waiting for the result”可知,考试已经结束,故用一般过去时。句意:——凯文,你看起来很忧虑,有什么事吗?——哦,我考了一次试,现在正在等结果。故选B项。
23.A　考查非谓语动词。由后半句中“I missed a wonderful film”可知,那晚上加班已经发生,而不定式表将来,所以排除B、D两项;ask与I 之间应为被动关系,故用现在分词的完成被动式。句意:那天晚上要求我加班,所以我错过了一场好看的电影。故选A项。
24.D　考查冠词。“manager of the engineering department”在句中作主语补足语。表示独一无二的头衔作同位语、主语补足语和宾语补足语时前面不加冠词;take the place of “代替”,为固定短语。句意:萨姆已经被委任为工程部的经理来代替乔治。故选D项。
25.C　考查情态动词。由第一句可知说话者正忙着,不满意对方的打搅,must表示与说话者主观愿望相反或表示一种不耐烦的情绪,常译成“偏要,偏偏”。can表示可能性;should表示应该;would表示将要,要,都不符合题意。句意:——你现在偏要打搅我,难道你没看见我正在打电话吗?——对不起,先生。但是有急事。故选C项。
26.A　考查交际用语。由上句中可知现代艺术展已取消了,以及下句中的“no”可知,这是后者不愿看到的事情,故选A项表示遗憾。It doesn’t matter “没关系”;I knew it already “我早知道了”;It’s not interesting at all “一点也没意思”,三项都不符合题意。句意:——在市博物馆举行的现代艺术展已经取消了。——哦,别,真遗憾啊。故选A项。
27.B　考查时态。run out “(被)用完,耗尽”,没有被动语态,故排除C、D两项;由后句中的“before there’s none left”可知,现在粮食还有,并没有耗尽,故排除A项;run out用于进行时表示将来。句意:洪灾区的食物供给快要没有了,我们必须赶在食物耗尽之前行动起来。
