Despite(尽管)its name, Boxing Day has nothing to do with competition sports. While the exact origins of the holiday are unclear, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages. Some historians say the holiday developed because servants(仆人)were asked to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers(雇主)would present them with gift boxes. Another theory is that the alms boxes in churches were opened and the money was given to the poor on December 26th. Still some believe that, centuries ago, on the day after Christmas, members of the merchant(商业)class would give boxes containing food and fruit, clothing and money to businessmen and servants. The gifts were an expression of thankfulness, much like today when people receive bonuses(奖金)from their employers because of a welldone job.These gifts, given in boxes, gave the holiday its name，“Boxing Day”. Traditionally, Boxing Day is a day when families get together. It is a day of watching sports games with family. In the past, hunting was one of the favorite activities on this day. People usually went hunting for wrens or foxes. Today, Boxing Day is spent with family and friends with lots of food and sharing of friendship and love. Government buildings and small businesses are closed but the malls are open. Shopping is a popular Boxing Day activity, and the malls are usually filled with bargains. Besides these activities, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping an individual family that is in need.Boxing Day has mainly become an extension of the Christmas holiday, giving working families one more day as the happy time of a year. 26.On Boxing Day servants probably _.

A.Because it is a kind of traditional activity. B.Because only malls are open on that day. C.Because things can be bought at a low price. D.Because people buy things to donate to the poor. C Mrs Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, so she went to her doctor about it. He could not find anything wrong with her, however. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests direct to Mrs Blacks doctor, and the next morning he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she could not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble. Mrs Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a ladies meeting. When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, “Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you. ”“Done all my shopping? ”she asked in surprise. “But how did you know what I wanted?”“Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone, ”answered her husband. “So I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down. ” Of course, Mrs Black had to tell him that what he had thought were all the things the doctor did not allow her to eat. 29.

It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four oclock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her, and so teatime was born.34.Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain? A.The Britons got expensive tea from India. B.Tea reached Britain from Holland. C.The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea. D.It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.35.This passage mainly discusses _ A.the history of tea drinking in Britain B.how tea became a popular drink in Britain C.how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea D.how teatime was born36.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because _ A.it tasted like milk B.it was good for health C.it became a popular drink D.they tried to copy the way Madame de Sevigne drank teaE Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grownup world.“Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school，” said Eleanor Fulham, 17.She brought the pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. “Its like youre not cool if you dont have a car，” she said. According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985.Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay. Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car. But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learners permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky，” he said, “But Id rather be alive than driving, and I dont really trust my friends on the road, either.”In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?37.Which may serve as the BEST title of the article? ACars Helping You to Grow-Up BDriving into the Grown-Up World CTeenagers Driving in America DRecognized Point of Becoming an Adult38.Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car? AHow well off the family is. BWhether the kid is old enough. CWhether its practically needed. DWhat traffic condition there is around.39.16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _ Athey want to show themselves off Bthey are never experienced drivers Colder people always drive better Dthey never drive carefully on the road 40.The passage mainly gives information about _ Aan American culture Ba cultural difference between America and China Ca change in the Chinese culture Dthe relationship between driving and a persons developmentIII.语法填空。（每空2分，共20分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans.They go to the movies to escape their 1._(bore) everyday existence and experience a life more exciting than their own.They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they 2._(hear)that the film has a good story.But the main reason 3._people go to the movies is to escape.Sitting in a dark theater，4._(watch) the images on the screen，they enter another world that is very real to them.They became involved 5._the lives of the characters in the movie and for two hours they forget all about 6._(they)own problems.They are in the dream world where things appear to be more romantic and 7._(beauty) than in real life.The biggest dream factories are in the Hollywood.The American movies are popular because they tell interesting stories and they are wellmade.They provide the public with 8._(hero)who do things the average person would like to do but often cannot.People have to cope 9._many problems and frustrations in real life.So they feel 10._(encourage) when they see the good guys win in the movies.IV.短文改错。（每个2分，共20分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线(/ )划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。Dear Brown，Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children.I have told one more worker will be needed in this year and I think you are fit for it.How about join us？The camp is at the foot of a small hill closed to a river.It is such beautiful a place！We can hear birds singing happy all around.Everybody sleeps in tents，that is very exciting.We usually work only five hours a day，so we will have plenty of spare time visit the area and have fun.I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience.If you have interests in it，reply to me soon.Yours， MaryV.书面表达。（共30分）假设你的朋友Linda ，现在正感到生活不快乐，不健康，有压力，可又不知道如何改变自己的生活方式，于是写信给你，请求你提些建议。下面是你提的几点建议，请按照以下内容给Linda回一封信(约100词左右) 1.要有足够的睡眠，至少8小时，这样才能精力充沛(energetic)、学习积极(active)。 2.多锻炼是非常重要的。 3.多吃水果和蔬菜，禁止吃垃圾食品(junk food)。 4.学习之余听听音乐可以减轻压力。 5.尽可能地微笑，它会帮助你快乐、忘记烦恼。Dear Linda，If you want to be healthy and happy，you need to have a healthy lifestyle.
