This was about the number of words a six-year-old should be able to read. The story is about a cat who tries to entertain two children on a rainy day while their mother is away from home. The cat is not like normal cats. It talks. The book was an immediate success. It was an interesting story and was easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today, many adults say it is still one of the stories they like best.24. What do we know about Dr Seusss first book for children? A. It was Dr Seusss worst book. B.

After all, they speak the same language, dont they? If you ask a British or an American person, he will probably tell you that there are differences. And the differences are quite great.What do British people think American people are like? The British think American people are very strange. They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly. They are rich, and they only think about money. But the British do say that American people are kind, and friendly people. Theyre happy to help you if you are in trouble.What do Americans think of the British? Well, they think the British are cold and very unfriendly. They are not interested in success or in making lots of money. They think British is the best country in the world. They look down on other countries. But Americans say that the British are quite hard workers. They are brave and honest. And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans. But when American and British people become friends, they usually find things are not as bad as they expected.28. Are there any differences between British and American people?A. Yes, the differences are very small. B. Yes, the differences are quite great.C. No, there isnt any difference between them.D. Some people think there are, but some people dont think so.29.What do British people think Americans are like?A. They are selfish. B. They are poor.C. They are strange people. D.

A. when they become friends B. when they become enemiesC. after they fight D. after they quarrel DA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.32. More and more students favor laptops for notetaking because they can _.Aunderstand lectures betterBdigest concepts betterCget higher scoresDwrite more notes33. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be _.Amindless Bskillful Cthoughtful Dtireless34. The author of the passage aims to_.Aexplain the process of taking notes Bpromote the use of laptops Cexamine the importance of longterm memoryDstress(强调) the benefit of taking notes by hand35. The passage is likely to appear in _.Aa science magazine B. a finance reportCa newspaper advertisement D. a physics textbook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。 When friends have problems that seem never-ending, you can sense that hopelessness. Most of the time, when someone comes to you, theyre not expecting you to have all the answers or even talk to them. 36 Here you can be helpful to people in their hardest times. 37 When you care about someone and think you know how to improve their situation, you want to give them some advice at once. However, you should ask them, “Do you want some ideas to improve the situation?” This way they have the choice to say no, and theyll likely give you more attention when theyve agreed to take your advice. Be honest. 38 You cant say, “I know how you feel.” Let them know you havent been there before, but youll try to put yourself in their shoes to help as much as you can. You can still be an ear, take some time to think about it, and then share your thoughts later. Never promise. Even if youve been there before, you wont know the final result. Your friend could approach his or her boss exactly like you did for a raise and end up being demoted (降职), at which point he or she might blame（责备） you. 39 Help her weigh the possible results, so that she can decide if its worth the possible reward. Plan a trip. People can often find answers when they go on a trip. 40 Let themselves relax and clear their head for a while. A. Offer long-term support.B. Advise with permission（许可/允许）.C. So plan a fun-weekend trip with your friends.D. You dont always have to have the right words.E. If you dont know how someone feels, you cant lie to them.F. If your sister wants to take a risk, make sure she knows it is a risk.G. They just want someone to help them through hard times.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A little boy wanted to meet God.
