A good example of this is the type of cup youre given after ordering a coffee. Order a coffee in any caf in America and youre almost sure to receive that coffee in a paper cup. Americans like getting their coffee to go. Whether they are on their way to school, work, or simply taking a walk through the city, many of them often take their coffee with them. Order a coffee in any European caf and youre sure to get that coffee in a ceramic (陶瓷的) cup with a package of sugar (and possibly a cup of water and a chocolate, depending on where you are). Many cafs only offer paper cups for special occasions when more people than chairs are expected.Europeans generally dont have coffee “to go” since they consider coffee drinking to be more of a social activity. If you go to a caf in Europe, you will find that people drink their coffee with ease. Some have conversations while others read the daily newspaper. Most American coffee shops provide a broad range of choices that satisfy different customers (顾客). In Europe, you arent given as many choices because locals are all about several basics. Waiters in the U.S. are careful to keep a close eye on their tables to provide quality service. Travelers will be surprised to find European waiters a little less attentive. If you want something, you have to flag down your waiter. It doesnt mean that European waiters are impolite; its quite the opposite. They are simply giving you space to enjoy your meal. Americans often pay attention to good service, while Europeans pay attention to the social aspect of the meal.36. Ordering coffee in the U.S., people will . A. drink it slowly after taking it awayB. spend a relaxing time with friendsC. be given coffee in paper cupsD. be served with a good meal37. Which of the following is TRUE about coffee drinking in Europe? A. More attention is paid to the service of coffee shops.B. It is considered as an important part of their daily life.C. More people choose to drink coffee on special occasions.D. It is treated as a social activity and enjoyed with ease.38. What does the author think of European waiters?A. They are so helpful and friendly.B. They respect customers own space.C. They are very patient and polite.D. They serve customers with heart.39. The underlined phrase “flag down” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.A. wave to the waiter to serve your tableB. shout to the waiter for your orderC. ask the waiter to make suggestionsD. give your praise for his service40. The text is mainly talking about .A. the cultural difference between the U.S. and EuropeB. the restaurant culture between the U.S. and EuropeC. the coffee culture between the U.S. and EuropeD. the social activities between the U.S. and EuropeBThe volcanic ash cloud caused great chaos (混乱) in European flying zone not seen since 9 / 11. Here is an outline of the effect of the volcanic ash cloud.Around 17,000 flights were expected to be cancelled (取消) on Friday, with airspace closed across much of Europe. “The volcanic ash is costing airlines more than USD$200 million a day,” air industry body International Air Transport Association (IATA) pointed out. Passengers had to choose other ways for their travels. The Eurostar, which runs trains between London and the European continent, said trains were operating at full capacity and it might offer additional trains if necessary. London taxi firm Addison Lee said it had taken requests for journeys to Paris, Milan, Zurich and Salzburg in Austria.Airlines are expected to get little help from insurance firms. Most airlines are neither insured against cancellations nor business disruption (扰乱) at airports. Insurer Munich Re said it could offer cancellation insurance to airlines if necessary. “Up to now there has not been demand in the market,” said a spokeswoman. “Maybe that will change now.”The World Health Organization warns the dust could cause problems for those with breathing difficulties. A Scottish expert said that the volcanic ash, with its tiny sharp edges, is a big harm done to health when inhaled in the lungs. Volcanic ash is not all harmful, though. Not just a natural disaster, the falling ash from volcanic eruptions enriches the soil in the surrounding areas, making it very rich. 41. The volcanic ash had the biggest ill effect on . A. the insurance firms B. the agriculture C. the health of patientsD. the air transport 42. It can be inferred from the text that due to the volcanic ash, the Eurostar . A. got an unexpected benefit B. would get fewer passengers than usual C. got a good chance to prove its safety D. would win the competition with the airlines 43. Why are the airlines expected to get little help from insurance firms? A. Because the insurance firms had nothing to do with the volcanic ash. B. Because the insurance firms cannot afford the cost. C. Because cancellation insurance hadnt been offered to airlines. D. Because no airlines insured themselves against the cancellation.44. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The volcanic ash cloud caused great chaos in European flying zone not seen since 9 / 11.B. Around 200 flights were expected to be cancelled on Friday.C. The Eurostar runs trains between London and the European continent. D. Volcanic ash is not all harmful.45. The best title of this text should be . A. Volcanic ash, a big danger to environment B. Health effects of Icelandic volcanic ash C. Impact of volcanic ash on Europe D. The great harm of the volcanic ash C In England one night a year comes alive as colourful fireworks explode in the night sky and smoke from giant bonfires (篝火) floats across the land. All the noise and fires are made to remember the countrys greatest traitor (叛国者), named Guy Fawkes.It is called Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night and is held on November 5. Across the country parties are held where people light big fires. Often they throw models of Guy Fawkes on to the fire. Fireworks are also an important part of the evening, with many local governments holding big displays.This tradition was started after an attempt was made to blow up Parliament and murder the king in 1605. Guy Fawkes was found in a room under the Houses of Parliament in London with a large amount of gunpowder.He was immediately arrested and later tried in court and killed. Over a period of months other people in the “gunpowder plot” were discovered and killed too.Fawkes and his friends were very angry because of a law that said they could not follow their religion. They were Catholic (天主教徒) at a time when the king, James I, and most people in England were Protestant (新教徒) and violently opposed to them. On the night the people found out the king had been saved and the traitor caught, they lit fires in celebration. This has become a tradition continued to this day.46. On Bonfire Night, people light big fires to Guy Fawkes.A. warm B. burn C. thank D. bless47. Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why Guy Fawkes was killed?A. He sold a large amount of gunpowder.B. He attempted to blow up Parliament.C. He attempted to murder the king.D. He encouraged his friends to fight against the government.48. Why did Fawkes want to turn against his government?A. Because he wanted to be the king.B. Because most people in England were Catholic.C. Because he thought the king robbed him of the right to follow his religion.D. Because the king wanted to kill him.49. This passage tells us the of Bonfire Night.A. birthB. celebrationC. ceremonyD. end50. What is the best title of the passage?A. History celebrated with fire B. Guy Fawkes, a traitorC. James I, a murdered kingD. Bonfire Night, a certain ChristmasDHave you ever played the game Telephone? You sit in a circle with a group of people and one person whispers a phrase to the person next to him or her. Then, each person keeps whispering the phrase around the circle until it reaches the last person, who repeats the whispered statement out loud. What started out as “Pizza tastes great” can end up as “Petes a great ape!” Its funny to laugh at how twisted the sentence became as it got passed around. Gossip can work the same way, but its not so funny. In fact, it can be very hurtful. When you say mean things, tell stories that youre not sure are true, or let out information you know is supposed to remain private, youre spreading gossip. What if you saw funny Jake go into the principals office and you started wondering if he was in trouble. Theres nothing wrong with wondering that, but what if you started telling other people you think Jakes in big trouble. You really dont know why he was in the principals office, right? But before you know it, everyone is talking about how Jake is in trouble and imagining why. Maybe he put his rubber snake in the teachers desk, someone says. Maybe he hit a kid who didnt laugh at one of his jokes, another person suggests. Jake doesnt come back to class for a long time, but when he does, everyone wants to know what happened in the principals office. Jake might be a little angry or confused about all the questions, especially when he explains, “I went to the principals office because my mom was there to take me to a doctor appointment.”Thats how rumors work. They start small and often blow up into something different from the truth.51. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us .A. a very interesting game B. what gossip is C. the harm of gossipD. the relation between gossip and rumors52. The first paragraph is written to .A. give an example of gossiping B. show how the game Telephone is played C. discuss the difference between a game and gossip D. show how gossip works 53. Jakes example is to show that gossip can start when you .A. say bad things about somebodyB. let out private information about somebodyC. are curious about what somebody is doingD. tell something you are not sure about54. We can infer from the third paragraph that . A. gossip can hurt one deeply B. gossip can hurt no one if everyone knows the truth finally C. gossip is always started by several causes togetherD. gossip can turn into reality finally 55. The underlined word “twisted” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.A. being passed from one to anotherB. being changed in a wrong way C. being repeated several times D. being corrected at last四、书面表达 (共两节, 满分45分)第一节 阅读表达(第56题2分，第58、59、60题每题3分，第57题4分，满分15 分)阅读下面的短文并回答问题 (请注意问题后的词数要求)。Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that. These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial (金融的) experiences with other young people. Nineteen-year-old Alice Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year. She said, “I have to save for all my college money because my parents cant afford it. So, I have to rely on my own savings.” But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web-based banking service. She said, “When I do that, I overcome the impulses (冲动) to just spend the money.” Michael Ferrari developed SmartyPig with a friend in 2007. SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific financial goals. Mister Ferrari says SmartyPig opened after he started a college savings account for his new baby. That experience helped him realize the power of saving for a specific goal. Helping other savers pay attention to their goals is the idea behind his on-line company. He says, “For example, youre saving up for a vacation. You want to save $5,000 and meet this goal in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You dont have to move from your bank; well actually go in and get the money every month and put them into your SmartyPig account.” The website also allows outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. Perhaps your birthday is coming up, and rather than _, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals.56.
