Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom (繁荣), and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didnt pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) appeared. At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes (阶级). It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there many fewer women than men, so if a man didnt want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper (上层) classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable（受人尊敬的）. In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident（明显的） in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dance from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafs. Though not everyone approved of (赞成) the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular. The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy (大使馆) in Seoul (首尔) hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador(大使), and promote（发扬） tango dancing throughout South Korea.24.

It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy. B. People of the upper classes loved the tango most. C. It was often danced by two men in the beginning. D.A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.26. Before World War I, the tango spread to . A. America B. France C. Japan D. South Korea27.What can be the best title for the text? A. How to Dance the Tango. B. How to Promote the Tango. C. The History of the Tango. D. The Modern Tango Boom. CThe other day I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background (背景) at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar (撒谎者).Surely, my friend is not the only one. Approximately (大约) two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Days “Report on Guilty (愧疚，有罪的) Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and all kinds of authors, which people have lied about reading, and as Im not one who lies too often (Id hate to be caught out), Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984. I think its really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him, but havent lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” (留下印象) someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky(棘手的) if the conversation became deeper.But when asked which writers they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted (承认) they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (Ill come clean: I do this and am surprised that 58 percent said they had never done so).28. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By looking into his background. B. By judging his way of speaking. C. By talking about the book itself. D. By mentioning (提及) a famous name. 29. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.30. By lying about reading, a person hopes to .A. appear knowledgeableB. control the conversationC. learn about the book D. make more friends31. What is the authors attitude to 58% of readers?A. supportive.B. Uncaring.C. Doubtful.D. Friendly.DThe technology is great, without which we wouldnt have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the oceans depths or eat microwave sausages (香肠). Computers have revolutionized (革新) our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can cause more problems than it solves. Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients whove come into their surgery (诊疗室)waving an Internet print-out, believing that they have some rare (罕见的) incurable (无法治愈的) disease, say, throat cancer (喉癌). The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they dont have throat cancer, and its just that their throats are swollen (肿的). Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee (保证) accurate (精确的) self-health-checks. One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample (样本) and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know whats wrong; Ive got throat cancer. I know theres nothing you doctors can do about it and Ive just got to wait until the day comes.” As a matter of routine (惯例) I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasnt right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I havent been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms (症状) fitted (吻合), so I knew thats what I had.” However, some of her symptoms, like the bad cough and weight loss, didnt fit with itbut shed just ignored this. I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed (证实) it wasnt the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did. Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to make sure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “Im so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact (接触) with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?32. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because _. A. she graduated from a medical schoolB. she had bought medicine online C. she thought she knew it well D. she had been treated by local doctors33. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond _. A. to have contacted many friends B. to have recovered in a short timeC. to have her assumption (猜想) confirmed D. to have her disease identified in time 34. Mrs. Almond said “Im so embarrassed” (Para. 7) because _. A. she had caused unnecessary trouble B. she had not trusted her close friends C. she had to refuse the doctors adviceD. she had to tell the truth to the doctor35. By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove _. A. its a must to take a break at workB. its unwise to simply rely on (依赖) technology C. its important to believe in IT professionals（专业人士） D. its a danger to work long hours on computers第二节 （共5小题；每小题两分，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As one of the worlds most powerful empires (帝国), Ancient Rome has a history more than 2,000 years. The Romans ideas about roads, laws, government and buildings still influence us today. The Coliseum(斗兽场) in Rome was built during the time of the Roman Empire, in the first century A.D. 36 It is a popular tourist attraction today.Italy is shaped like a boot. It is well-known for its designers, who create cars, handbags, clothes, shoes and other items that are in need for their style and fine workmanship (手艺).Today, the economy of Italy is stronger than in the past. 37 Today, manufacturing (生产) and tourism are the main sources of income. There are some big companies, but Italy has many smaller companies, too. 38 The southern part does not offer as many manufacturing jobs, so it is not as prosperous. Italy is a member of the European Union, a group of countries that join together for better trade. The currency, or money, they use is called the “euro”.Food and eating good meals are important to Italians. 39 Popular foods include pasta, risotto, minestrone and pizza. McDonalds is also popular there. Many families still eat their main meal in the middle of the day. 40 Families spend a lot of time together.

It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually well learn how 72 （express） ourselves in English.
