My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these clerks have. They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was clear that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was touched by our idea so that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing his story, ideas of kindness may have come into the minds of many people.
24. Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?
A. It was very warm and fine.
B. His glasses were missing.
C. His old glasses were broken.
D. He forgot to wear his glasses.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair.”可知,Charlie的眼镜坏了,又买不起新的,所以就没戴眼镜。故选C。
答案:C
25. What can we infer about Charlie from the text?
A. Charlie was a young man with skills.
B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses.
C. Charlie completely accepted the money for the new glasses.
D. Charlie couldn’t support his family with enough money.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“... that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was clear that he was having a difficult time.”可知,Charlie挣钱少,家里需要钱,他没有足够的钱养家。故选D。
答案:D
26. What does the underlined word “waived” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Took up. B. Gave up.
C. Cut down. D. Put off.
解析:词义猜测题。此处指医生被“我们”的举动所感动,于是没有要检查费,眼镜也只收了半价。waive是动词,意为“放弃”,与B项同义。故选B。
答案:B
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Customers’ Gift to an Employee
B. A Friendly Clerk—Charlie
C. The Wonderful Feeling of Helping Others
D. An Expensive Pair of Glasses

答案:A
C
This Monday, the nation will start to celebrate Presidents’ Day, just seven days before George Washington’s birthday. Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washington’s birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents’ Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washington’s birthday. Confused yet?
George Washington was elected the country’s first President on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington’s birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates, making Washington’s birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879, Congress made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birthday. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law didn’t change the holiday’s name. It was still called Washington’s Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to include Abraham Lincoln, whose actual birthday is February 12.
Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honoured for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honour Washington, the country’s first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids wouldn’t know about the Father of Our Country.
Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term “George Washington’s Birthday”. But none of those laws have been passed. Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term “Presidents’ Day”. Many stores also use it to promote holiday sales.
Should the holiday honour Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents? Write to tell us what you think.
28. Who was Presidents’ Day originally designed to honour?
A. All Presidents.
B. Abraham Lincoln.
C. George Washington.
D. Washington and Lincoln.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,美国开始庆祝“总统日”是为了庆祝首任总统华盛顿的生日,而且当时节日的名字是Washington’s Birthday。故选C。
答案:C
29. What can we infer from the text?
A. Washington’s birthday is the same as Lincoln’s.
B. The change in the calendar system was not wise.
C. “This Monday” in paragraph 1 is the third one of this February.
D. The new act changed the holiday’s name.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第三句话可知,依照1968年国会通过的法案,这个节日定在了二月份的第三个星期一。再根据文章的第一句话可知,C项正确。
答案:C
30. What’s the main argument about this holiday?
A. Where to celebrate the holiday.
B. When to celebrate the holiday.
C. How to celebrate the holiday.
D. Which President(s) to honour.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段前三句话可知,人们对这个节日的纪念对象应该是谁,看法不一。故选D。
答案:D
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. To Celebrate Presidents’ Day or Not
B. Why People Celebrate Presidents’ Day
C. Colourful Activities on Presidents’ Day
D. The History and Debate Behind Presidents’ Day
解析:标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了美国“总统日”的历史信息,其中针对该节日应该纪念谁,人们产生了分歧和讨论,所以D项最能概括文章大意。
答案:D
D
Britain is a nation of drama lovers and in the land that brought you Shakespeare, you’ll never be far from some of the best and most varied theatres in the world.
You could start with the shows and musicals in London’s historic “Theatreland” where 40 theatres draw your attention.

If you’re in Cardiff, a visit to the Wales Millennium Centre is a must. It hosts everything from touring West End musicals to ballet and modern dance in a high-tech building that’s worth a look in itself. If you don’t have time for a show, have a drink in the bar. Free concerts are held daily in the front hall.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Culture means any human behaviour that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. 36. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system. 37. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a group of wolves in the forest. 38. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala (the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. 39. Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behaviour—by taking part in a cultural community. 40.
A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.
C. These children were the ghosts described by the local people.
D. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.
E. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.
F. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
G. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behaviour through their membership in a certain cultural community.
36. 解析:根据上句“All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning.”可知,文化中所有有意义的部分都会传给下一代,这就意味着所有的人类群体都有自己的文化。故选A。
答案:A
37. 解析:根据下句“Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society.”可知,有很多的例子来证明这一点,下面列举了其中之一,故选B。
答案:B
38. 解析:根据空前内容可知,有两个孩子和狼群生活在一起,当地人把这些孩子当成鬼了。故选C。
答案:C
39. 解析:根据上句“Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders.”可知,这里是对这两个狼孩外貌的描述。故选F。
答案:F
40. 解析:根据上句“Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior—by taking part in a cultural community.”可知,不同的环境对他们有了不同的影响,他们的身上既有人的行为也有狼的特点。故选G。
答案:G

We tried to 43 what we were looking for, and he said, “Oh, yes, yes,” and 44 us, with our backpacks on in the middle of the heat of the day, down all these little crooked(弯曲的) streets. It seemed like we walked for miles. Finally, he pointed us toward a building without any name on it. But when we 45 , it turned out not to be the post office.
When we came out and were again standing around looking 46 , someone else soon came up. She asked if we 47 help. Again, we tried to explain 48 we were going. The woman said she 49 where the post office was. We headed off as she 50 us to another building which also had no 51 and which also turned out not to be the post office.
At this point we decided that 52 we didn’t know where we were, we were not going to listen to anybody else. But then another person came up and said, “I can 53 you.” We said “No, thank you,” but he was very insistent. He actually grabbed me by the hand and dragged me through the streets. Circling around, we came back to the first 54 we had been standing on when we began.
The 55 pointed across the street, and there was the post office.

Dear Sarah,
Thank you for your letter asking about the rebuilt Qianmen Street. Here is something about it.
Qianmen Street, more than 800 metres long, is a famous street with a history of over 600 years, along which there are more than 300 shops. As the street is in the centre of Beijing, just to the south of Tian’anmen Square, it is very convenient to get there by taking buses No.17, 69 or 59 besides Subway Line 2. Qianmen Street is a pedestrian street, but there are trolley cars to take you not only to the shops, but also to theatres and teahouses. I’m sure you’ll like it.
Yours,

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was late spring when my mum and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with mum. However, little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mum pulled over. “What are you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case. My mum hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently, I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mum reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the waiter.” “What?” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially those who haven’t received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we went on with our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about mum’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mum nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

答案:
I let out a sigh while my mum rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, mum and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them. While we were laughing and talking merrily, we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I asked mum to pull over and paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send mum the sweet flowers. Mum tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger at her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
