第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing.

Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up.

She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, clearning up and holding on.

31. What made Kate angry one evening?

A. She couldn’t find her books.

B. She heard the author shouting loud.

C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.

D. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.

32. The author tidied up the room most probably because ______.

A. she was scared by Kate’s anger B. she hated herself for being so messy

C. she wanted to show her care D. she was asked by Kate to do so

33. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?

A. By analyzing causes. B. By showing differences.

C. By describing a process. D. By following time order.

34. Which word can replace the underlined word “sobbing” in the third paragraph?

A. laughing B. crying C. talking D. moving

35. What might be the best title for the story?

A. My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays Off

C. How to Be Organized D. Learning to Be Roommates

B

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?

In my opinion, understanding is the most important quality in choosing a good friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experiences and learn from each other. A good friend has a sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone that is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a good friend.

36. In the opinion of the writer, what is the most important in choosing a good friend?

A. A sense of humor. B. Sharing experiences.

C. A good listener. D. Understanding.

37. If you have fair-weather friends, ______.

A. you will be refused when you get into trouble.

B. they will give you all that they have when you need help

C. you will become rich

D. you can be sure that you get real friends

38. Good friends need to ______.

A. have money or luck B. understand each other’s feeling

C. be helped with money D. always point out each other’s mistakes

39. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. how to get along with friends B. where to choose friends

C. the qualities of friends D. the importance of having a friend

40. The underlined word “reliability” means someone that you will ______.

A. rely on B. call on C. go on D. hold on

C

The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.

When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred (神圣的). The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.

The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving (演变) thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.

The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word “err.” The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word “her.” Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like “air.” Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.

Of course, many slang words (俚语) have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by main stream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.

41. When we begin to learn English, we think ______.

A. it is interesting to pick up a new language

B. English rules are wrongly presented in fact

C. grammar and speiling rules are unchangeable

D. only adults have the ability to affect a language

42. The underlined word “accurate” in Paragraph 2 means ______ in every detail.

A. correct B. wrong C. different D. similar

43. From paragraph 3 we can know that ______.

A. we can change the English language

B. many languages are changing over years

C. English has changed little in the past 1,000 years

D. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation

44. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?

A. Because people choose the way to pronounce them.

B. Because those words are too difficult to pronounce.

C. Because the spellings of words change.

D. Because technology develops greatly in modern society.

45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Foreign words involved in English. B. Slang words reshape the English world.

C. English language is changeable. D. British speaks differently from Americans.

非选择题(满分25分)

第四部分：写作(共两节，满分25分)

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and friendlier? If your answers are ‘yes’, ‘yes’ and ‘yes’, then read on! A local organization is carrying out a project, giving money to groups of teenagers who want to become active citizens. Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.

Meeting the neighbors. Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.

Neighborhood watch. It is very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer.

Lending a hand. There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their gardens for them or maybe walk their dogs!

No littering. Nobody likes picking up other people’s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable!

Just tell us what you want to do. Then we’ll send you more information.

46. What is the aim of the project? (no more than 15 words)

________________________________________________

47. Who is asked to take part in the project? (no more than 15 words)
