I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone. Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Bens beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard. Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didnt know what was about to take place. By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five oclock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift! Well, the point wasnt so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one anothers company. None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Bens garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!21. We can infer that Happy and her husband Ben_.A. dont like spending time with others B. sometimes quarrel with each otherC. live on the food they grow in their garden D. are a generous and warm-hearted couple22. According to paragraph 2, people wish they also had a garden so that_.A. they didnt have to spend so much money on foodB. they could grow vegetables and sell at the marketC. they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in itD. they could spend happy times together with their family in it23. For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden?A. To ask them to attend a birthday party B. To help them get to know each other.C. To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.D. To ask them to share some interesting stories.24. What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?A. It was too long. B. It was wonderful.C. It was not as good as he thought. D. It was too terrible.B The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.25._, our world is becoming much smaller.A.Because of the rise in pollutionB.Thanks to science developmentC.Because the earth is being polluted day and nightD.Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year26.Hundreds of years ago, life was _ it is today.A.much easier than B.as easy asC.much harder than D.as hard as27.Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here it means _.A.rubbish (垃圾) B.noise pollutionC.air pollution D.water pollution28.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because_A.it makes much noiseB.it makes us angry more easilyC.it makes our rivers an lakes dirtyD.it is bad for all living things in the world C It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smart phones become increasingly important assistants in their lives. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, there is now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help, only to find your phone is not around.And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they cant use their smart phones, they get lost and anxious.But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept (无能的). People often bury themselves in their smart phones. As were too absent -minded by whats happening in the virtual (虚拟的) some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes cant even tell whether a person is happy or not.Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12. who had over five hours screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared.The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five - day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.29.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _.A.you are able to turn to others for helpB.others are able to call you anytime and anywhereC.others are unable to get in touch with you by smart phoneD.you are unable to contact others without your smart phone30.The experiment shows that without electronic products, one could _.A.recognize more facial expressions correctlyB.lose the sense of direction frequentlyC.tell different emotions immediatelyD.tell more pictures of faces easily31.Overusing smart phones, people will probably _.A.have no sense of numbersB.fail to find their destinationC.lose face - to -face communication skillsD.weaken their senses of hearing and sight32.Whats the writers attitude towards electronic products?A.Objective. B.Critical. C.Supportive. D.Optimistic D If youd like to go sightseeing, the following World Heritage Sites(世界遗产地）may be your best choices.Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area The Jiuzhaigou Valley, which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province, reaches a height of more than 4, 800 meters, with a series of different forest ecosystems (生态系统).There you can enjoy watching excellent waterfalls. Some 140 kinds of birds also live in the valley, as well as a number of endangered plants and animals, the giant panda included.Khami Ruins National Monument The city of Khami, which developed after the capital of Great Zimbabwe had been given up in the mid -16th century, is of great archaeological (考古的) interest. The discovery of objects from Europe and China shows that Khami was a major centre for trade over a long period of time.Henderson Island Henderson Island, which lies in the eastern South Pacific, is one of the few atolls (环礁) in the world whose ecology has not been touched by human beings. It is especially famous for the ten plants and four land birds that can only be seen on the island.The Old City of JerusalemAs a holy city for three different religions in the Middle East, Jerusalem has always been of great religious (宗教的) importance.

In India,for example,people only eat with their right hands. They take food from one dish on the table.Their left hands stay still. Eating with the left hand is very rude! In western countries,people do not usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his or her own plate of food. They eat with a knife and fork and they should not wave them around when not eating. In addition,they should try not to be noisy when eating.36 When you go to some restaurants in different parts of the world,it is important to know what people think is rude. For example,in China it is OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact,if a restaurant is not noisy,you may think it is not very good.37If a table is too noisy,other customers might not be happy.38In China,one person usually pays for everyone. In western countries,when friend seat together,they usually share the cost. This is called going Dutch. In addition,when westerners pay the check,they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called leaving a tip. Not leaving a tip is very rude. In US,its common to leave tips of 10%,15% or 20% of the check. The amount depends on how good the waiter was.39 The way people eat food is different around the world,but you can find the same kinds of food in many countries.40 A. Good waiters can get a lot of money! B. People think that that is bad table manners! C. Guests usually leave the tips under the plates. D. Paying for the meal is also different from country to country. E. However,in many western countries,restaurants are quiet places. F. Chinese and Italian foods,for example,are popular all over the world. G. Although good manners always make you look good,you can always follow your hosts if youre not sure what to do.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 30 分) A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
