As we know, in the past years our school held many competitions successfully every year, like Singing Competition and Dancing Competition. In fact I do know most of the students will want to have the Reading Competition as was held last year. But now, well have something that may be much more fun. Its the Pet Competition! Well, in fact, it aims at letting all students know the importance of loving animals. Nowadays, too many people cant treat animals so well. They do not think carefully before getting a pet.At the competition, you will not be disappointed because our teachers will not give you boring lessons to ask you to love animals. Instead, we can all learn something from a relaxing environment. Theres a dog beauty contest and we will choose the best dog. The competition will be based on the dogs ability. Unfortunately this competition is not open to your pets this year. Our school has selected five dogs for this competition. That means, we can just sit back and enjoy. So please come to join this event and vote for your favorite dogs! How can you afford to miss such an educational and fun event of the year?第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AThe Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom)The term “Union Jack” possibly dates from Queen Annes time, but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the “Jacket” of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form “Jacobus” or “Jacques”； or as “jack” once meant small, the name may come from a royal proclamation (声明) issued by Charles that the flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit (船首)The Union Jack was originally a royal flag (when the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the Kings forts and castles, but not elsewhere); today it is flown above Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle when the Queen is not in residence. On news of a royal death, the Union Jack will be flown at halfmast (下半旗)The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queens command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queens official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation (休会) of Parliament; it is also flown on St Davids Day, St Georges Day, St Andrews Day, and St Patricks Day.Although the Union Jack originated as a royal flag, it is now also flown by many people and organizations elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Its use as an emblem has extended beyond the form of a flag and the Union Jack is frequently shown on other objects.语篇解读：本文讲述了英国国旗的起源和使用场合。21The reason why the national flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union Jack is that _.Athe flag is made of jacketBthe flag combines the emblems of three countriesCthe flag shows the symbol of unityDthe flag originated from the existence of the United Kingdom解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段可知，the Union Jack是三个国家象征的徽记集合。22The second paragraph mainly talks about _.Athe origin of the national flagBthe history of the national flagCthe reason why the Union Jack has become the national flagDthe way how the Union Jack has become the national flag解析：选A段落大意题。第二段的第一句为本段的主题句。即讲述the Union Jack的起源。23What is the best title for the passage?AThe Union Jack EverywhereBThe Union Jack at AnytimeCNational Flag, the Union JackDThe History of the Union Jack解析：选C标题归纳题。A、B、D三项文章均有说到，但属以偏概全，C项概括了文章的内容，故选C。BIn Britain, many theatres put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatreineducation team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way.Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience (观众) to join in.“Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking this is where the English word “mime” comes from. A pantomime is always based on a wellknown childrens story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principal boy” and this principal boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume (服装). Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isnt looking.Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue (争论) with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isnt，” the audience always responds with “Oh yes, it is！” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited to help one of the characters during the show.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了英国每年圣诞节期间颇受欢迎的一种童话剧。24The theatreineducation teams_.Aare made up of famous local actorsBwrite plays for the same age groupCoften give plays in their own theatresDusually allow children to join in a play解析：选D细节理解题。由第一段中的“the children often take part in the play”可知，D项说法正确。25According to the text, a pantomime_.Ais designed to make people laughBis made up of three charactersCis especially popular with grownupsDcan be watched all year round in Britain解析：选A细节理解题。由第三段中的“this principal boy is always played by a pretty girl” “the comic older woman . is played by a man”和“It is funny”等信息可知，圣诞童话剧以逗笑为主，故选A项。26When the dame says, “Yes, it is”， the audience should_.Afollow her and singBstand up and danceCrepeat what she says Ddisagree with her loudly解析：选D细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Members of the audience have to . argue (争论) with the character (usually the dame)”和“When she shouts，Oh no，it isnt， the audience always responds with Oh yes, it is！”可知，观众应该说些和女人的话相反的话，故选D项。CI always pictured myself graduating from college, getting a cool job and even having a cute little place of my own. So far, I have a masters degree and the coolest job ever as a physician assistant. But instead of waking up in a pretty apartment, I hear the earlymorning sound of my parents making coffee downstairs.At 27, I still live with my parents, and I love it.My decision to live at home was not one of absolute necessity. As a physician assistant, I make a good salary and would be able to live on my own comfortably if I needed to do so. By the time I finished graduate school, I had had a D|S150,000 debt from both undergraduate and graduate education. With several of these loans earning a 7.9% interest rate, my father calculated that my loans were increasing by D|S15 a day in interest alone. At this rate, it would take me 30 years to pay off my student loans, with much of the payment going straight to interest. At last, I decided to live with my parents. Beyond the endless supply of homecooked meals, the best thing about moving back home is that I am not alone. Several of my physician assistant friends are in the same boat as I am we are all highly educated, whitecollar employees who live at home. Our coworkers in the medical field think it is a great idea because many of them are facing the same piles of debt. They often say if they could do it all again, they would do the same thing.Theres a stigma (耻辱) that comes along with this arrangement. Some people might assume that we are too lazy to find a job. I dont think my neighbors understand it, as they continually ask me when I am going to graduate and if I am old enough to look after their children. My mom just tells them that Im successful, welleducated and that I save lives.I love living at home. Now Ive paid off D|S68,000 of my student loans. Our new relationship is symbiotic (共生的). My parents benefit from having an extra set of hands around the house to help with housework and a constant source to explain all popculture references.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者毕业后和父母住在一起的故事。27The author once imagined _.Ahaving her own beautiful house Bhaving her parents pay off her loansCliving with her parents after graduationDalways being taken care of by her parents解析：选A细节理解题。由第一段第一句“I always pictured myself . even having a cute little place of my own.”可知答案。28Why did the author decide to live with her parents?ABecause she missed them very much.BBecause she couldnt cook by herself.CBecause she needed to repay a huge debt.DBecause she was not able to support herself.解析：选C细节理解题。由第三段可知，作者为读本科和研究生欠下了巨额债务，为尽快偿还贷款，她决定和父母住在一起。29What is the authors coworkers attitude towards her living with her parents?ACritical.BApproving.CDoubtful. DUninterested.解析：选B推理判断题。由第四段最后两句的“Our coworkers in the medical field think it is a great idea . they would do the same thing.”可推知，作者的同事赞成她和父母住在一起。30The authors neighbors ask her to look after their kids mainly because _.Athey know she is a helpful ladyBthey know she is welleducatedCthey think she doesnt have a jobDthey think she is popular with kids解析：选C推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“Some people might assume that we are too lazy to find a job. I dont think my neighbors understand it”可推知，邻居们让作者照顾孩子是因为他们以为作者是因为没有工作才住在父母的家里。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What I learned watching dentist at workI would like to be a dentist in the future. _31_ The patient, tender dentist comforted me, a 7yearold girl at the time, and persuaded me to stop crying and to accept his treatment._32_ Recently, our teacher gave us the homework of experiencing a kind of job on the weekend. I chose without hesitation to live a day as a dentist at my friends older brothers workplace.I got to Dr Tans clinic at 7：45 am, 15 minutes before office hours began on Saturday. Dr Tan, who has been a dentist for five years, sat in his consulting room with a mask on his face and waited for his patients. I didnt really understand his diagnoses or treatments, but I could see that Dr Tan was a responsible doctor. He explained conditions and therapies (治疗方案) to patients at length to remove their doubts. He paused operations to let patients rest if the treatment was taking too much time. _33_ Dr Tan worked for almost the whole morning without a break. He only made a phone call to his wife to remind her to have an antenatal (产前) examination. Yes, he will be a father in five months, but he still cannot keep his wife company at the weekend. _34_ They try to ease others pain anytime and anywhere, despite the cost to their own time and life.As the last patient said goodbye to Dr Tan in the afternoon, my visit came to an end. I now feel that I understand more about doctors. _35_AMy dream has finally come true.BThey are the heroes I admire most.CDoctors are ordinary people, yet they are also angels.DIt helps me to reduce stress, find friends and learn new skills.EI thought it was a dream that was almost impossible to fulfill FThats all because of a dentist I came across during my childhood.GHe also gave a doctors advice to his patients carefully before they went out the door.语篇解读：文章讲述了作者儿时看牙医的经历，使作者有了当牙医的愿望。长大后作者的亲身体验使他对牙医有了更深层次的了解，并且成为一位真正的牙医。31选F第一段第一句说到“我想要做一名牙医”，空后一句讲述“我7岁时看牙医的经历”。那位牙医给我留下了深刻的印象，这才使我有了当牙医的愿望。故答案选F。32选A根据上文“我想要做一名牙医”和本段最后一句“I chose without hesitation to live a day as a dentist”可知，“我终于有机会实现愿望了”。故选A。33选G空处前面几句都是在介绍Dr Tan的工作态度，空处后面的句子是总结Dr Tan整个上午的工作状态，故选G项。34选C根据空后一句“They try to ease others pain anytime and anywhere”可知，他们试图在任何时间、任何地点减轻他人的痛苦，与C项中的“angels”相对应，故选C项。35选B作者根据自己的亲身体验更加了解牙医这个职业，所以此处应用一句总结性句子进行概括。故选B项。第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The assessor approached a farmhouse.
