I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didnt understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调） the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girls test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed very very strange to her that I hadnt talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.1The story took place（发生）exactly _ .A. in the teachers office B. in an exam roomC. in the school D. in the language lab2The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because _ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone3The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy _ .A. to go on writing his paper B. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediately D. to stay behind after the exam4The boy knew everything _ .A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the room BDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork）and beouf （beef） came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-SaxonThe Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, youre on your way to learning French!5French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because _.A. too many French moved to Britain B. French brought animals with themC. the king and his officials spoke French D. the king allowed French to be spoken6Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A. Because English and French share similar pronunciationsB. Because English grammar and French grammar are similarC. Because a large number of English words have French originsD. Because English has great influences on the French language7What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and culture.B. French and English words have nothing in common.C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D. French combines English and the Native Anglo-Saxon. CSince the Internet came into homes, the daily life has never been the same again. But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catch viruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones wont reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system.Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet. Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading troublesome ring tones, etc.,so it is obvious that cell phone viruses are a threat as well.Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak. And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to “see” one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster, because they can come in disguise（伪装）, such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims(受害人) to all use the same operating system, which not enough of us do. Because there is no Microsoft operating system for mobile phones, yet. Thank goodness.8What is the passage mainly about?A. The operating system of cell phones. B. The threat of cell phone viruses.C. The wide use of cell phones. D. Computer viruses.9When _, cell phone viruses can be dangerous.A. all the cell phones work on the same operating systemB. Microsoft operating system for cell phones is createdC. users can see each other on the phonesD. Bluetooth is widely used10What can we infer about Bluetooth according to the scientists?A. It can increase the chances of cell phone viruses greatly.B. It can help us to stop the spreading of cell phone viruses.C. It wont possibly cause the outbreak of cell phone viruses.D. It can make users have close physical relation with one another.11We can learn from the passage that _.A. it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phonesB. cell phones are not well connected with the InternetC. it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phonesD. more than one operating system is used for cell phones now DMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the hurt adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They dont make nests. Instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?12The writer uses the three questions at the beginning of the passage to _.A. ask the readers to answer the questionsB. draw the readers attention to the topicC. seek answers to the questionsD. show he is at a loss about the question.13Which of the following is not an example of animals dishonest behaviors?A. A plover pretended to have a broken wing to protect its baby birds.B. A scrub jay dug out its buried food and reburied it somewhere else.C. The adoptive parents feed their baby birds of cuckoos.D. A losing chimp starts fighting again after taking the winners hand.14The underlined word “sneaky” in paragraph 5 most probably means_.A. selfish B. friendly C. entertaining D. dishonest15What is the common reaction of most chimps when they find their favorite food?A. They let out a loud cry B. They cry in a very low voiceC. They hide their food immediately D. They share their food with other chimps.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。The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 16 Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games._17 Many people enjoy going to markets or stores more and more every day, but its more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are so interested in shopping that they usually buy things they dont need. Even though they dont have enough money, they buy everything they want.The question is why they have this addiction. There isnt a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely. 18 Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty. 19 Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don t have. 20 A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.C. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.D. However, in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.E. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.F. They get deep in debt, and can even go bankrupt (破产) and get sent to prison.G. Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems.第二部分 英语知识运用 （共2节，共45分）第一节 完形填空（共20题，每题1.5分，共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。One afternoon I toured an art museum and I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces(名作).
