Paris is the capital of France, a country in the west of Europe. It is also one of the most beautiful and most famous cities in the world.

    Paris is called the City of Light. It is also an international fashion center. What modern women are wearing in Paris will soon be worn by many women in other parts of the world. Paris is also a famous world center of education. For instance, the headquarters of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, is in Paris.

    The Seine River divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. The oldest and perhaps most well-known is the Pont Neuf, which was built in the sixteenth century. The Sorbonne, a famous university, is located on the Left Bank (south side) of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the Right Bank (north bank) of the Seine.

    There are many other famous places in Paris, such as the famous museum the Louvre as well as the cathedral of Notre Dame. However, the most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower.

    Paris is named after a group of people called the Parisii. They built a small village on an island in the middle of the Seine River about two thousand years ago. This island, called the le de la Cite, is where Notre Dame is located. Today around eight million people live in the Paris area.

When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now,” I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was immediate.

I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it. “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mix of confusion and maybe even embarrassment.

I was torn. Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being delivered just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a rush for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I signalled at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. Obviously, I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of total confusion.

This experience faded from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a fluency in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken literally (照字面地); its meaning changes greatly with context. As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when refusing an offer.

Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for appointments, but when I’m not, I don’t panic. Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before.

28．Why did the author believe that his ice-cream’s arrival was immediate?

A．Because the seller told him that it would be served soon.

B．Because he was confident of the direct translation of “ahorita”.

C．Because the ice-cream shop was not crowded.

D．Because he asked about it again and the seller answered the same.

29．What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the third paragraph?

A．tired. B．too hungry to move. C．unable to decide. D．thirsty.

30．What should be paid attention to when understanding “ahorita”?

A．A fluency in the culture. B．A fluency in the language.

C．Translating it literally. D．Its unchangeable meaning.

31. Which is the best title of the passage?

A．The importance of understanding foreign cultures

B．The different meanings of “ahorita”

C．How interesting Spanish is

D．The confusing way Mexicans tell time

                        D

Cats are very smart. They are one of the smartest animals. The brain of a cat is large.  It is highly developed. This may be why cats have good memories. Cats remember kindness and cruelty. It is a good idea to treat a cat well. Cats can “speak” too. They meow for attention. Often they stand by a door. Then they meow. Then they look over their shoulders. They want to see if their owners are coming. Cats make other noises also. They purr(猫发出的咕噜声)when they are happy. They hiss when they are angry.

Cats have a lot of pride. They don’t usually do silly tricks. Almost all cats want to have their own way. They are mostly true to only one person. They don’t switch loyalty easily. Cats were free in the wild. They want to stay that way. They like to be their own masters. When a cat is left alone, it can go back to caring for itself. It can live in the wild again. This is different from dogs. Dogs will switch their loyalty. At one time dogs were loyal to the leaders of their packs. Now, they will transfer allegiance(忠诚)to their owner. They do not like to be alone.

With kindness, a cat can be trained. Cats can learn to do many things. Some cats can learn to open doors. Some can ring doorbells. Some can even turn on water tap. Then they take a drink. Cats are very smart. Before drinking, they put a paw in the water. They test whether the water is hot or cold.

32.What is the best title for this passage?

A．The Difference Between Dogs and Cats.      B．The Characteristics of Cats.

C． Loyal Animals.                         D． How to Keep Cats?

IV语法填空（每小题1分，共10分）

Located in the north-cast of Italy, Venice is     56   (know) as “The Floating City”. Venice is not a single island. It is made up of over 100 small islands,    57    are connected by waterways and bridges. Even today, boats remain the most common way to travel around. Look anywhere in Venice,     58    you will see     59    (tradition) boats called “gondola”.

    60    (fortunate), water is also putting Venice in great danger. The Floating City is, in fact, sinking. But these floods could now be a thing of the past, thanks     61    a new flood prevention project. Dozens of gates have been built to hold back the sea. Each of these gates     62    (be) 20 meters wide, with the longest about 30 meters long, which will be raised to separate the city from the sea.

But only time will tell if this project is the right solution. The important thing is that action is being taken     63    (protect) the city’s future    64   (generation). And if it works, it means     65    longer, drier future for Venice.
