If youre lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the clock hits 00:00am. But how New Years Day would look in another country? Listed below are four of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbors DoorDenmark A strange Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbors door. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large crowd of loyal friends.2. Talking to SpiritsMexico Mexicans strongly believe that they can municate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Years Eve is considered the best time to municate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka DotsPhilippines Imagine people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year in Phillippines. And they believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.4. Burning Scarecrow DummyEcuador Ecuador has a custom of crafting scarecrows and burning them. As midnight approaches, gathering outside, each family burns their own scarecrow filled with newspapers and pieces of wood. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness. The world is large but different. People of all nations may celebrate New Years Day much differently, but a lot of general themes are to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the ing new year.21. People generally celebrate New Years Day in the following ways except _.A. sharing the time with their family B. getting together with their friends C. participating in the ball drop D. spending the time with their lovers22. Which of the following cant describe the 4 unique New Year traditions properly? A. The more broken plates, glasses, cups you have at your door, the more good friends you have according to Danish New Year tradition. B. By paying $15 in Taos Inn, Mexicans can municate with the souls of their dead loved ones. C. Wearing polka dots can help people in Philippines to gain wealth. D. People from Ecuador make and burn scarecrows to win good luck and happiness.23. What can you infer from the last paragraph?A. No matter how we celebrate New Year, increasing our wealth is very important.B. The traditions will be changed with the time going by.C. We seldom experience different traditions to celebrate New Year.D. Celebrating New Years Day means looking forward to a happier and better ing year.BWhen you are absorbed in something for a long time, even a phone call may shock you. That is what happens to me after I am on line for a whole day. My boyfriends foreign accent suddenly seems too hard to understand pared with his clear words on screen. Now I am a telemuter, editing articles and sending them by e-mail as well as municating with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in Scotland; so much of our relationship is puter-mediated.Staying inside, I can order food, and manage my money, love and work, through which my needs are almost satisfied. But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though Ive bee part of my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. Its like attending the graduation ceremony with everyone bare to the waist. We have bee the Net opponents worst nightmare.What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to puter, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has bee an avoidance，a lack of self-control. And once you start replacing real human contact with online interaction, ing back out of the cave can be quite difficult.At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to make a sound in the background, something that Id never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then the advertisement is a headache to me. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline”, “Nightline,” CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.24. What is the main reason why her boyfriends accent is hard to understand?A. He is a foreigner. B. His words are clearer than his accent.C. She is surfing the Internet. D. She is lost in the network and cant e to herself instantly.25. The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 probably means _.A. we dont like to attend the graduation ceremonyB. we dont like the way people deal with each other in real lifeC. we want to attract others attentionD. it is a way to show our dislike for people outside26. What does the last paragraph mean?A. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.B. Having worked on the puter for a long time, she became a bit strange.C. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information.D. Sometimes TV programs give her fort and even makes her forget her work.27. What is the authors attitude to the puter?A. She likes it because it is very convenient.B. She likes it because it provides an imaginary world.C. At first she likes it but later bees tired of it.D. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive. CWith tourism developing fast, youd expect greater understanding between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of munication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each others countries at a reasonable cost. What was once the “grand tour”, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybodys grasp so that modern travelers enjoy a level of fort. But whats the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world keep ignoring each other?Many tourist organizations deliberately set out to protect their travelers from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a sheltered life, such as living at international hotels, eating food and sipping drink there. However, he stares at the natives from a distance. Guided tours to places of interest are carefully planned. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more, and language also holds them back. So he is only too happy to be protected in this way. The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the continuance of national stereotypes. That is, we dont see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your previous knowledge. You leave with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, “Latin peoples shout a lot”. You only have to make foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?28. Which of the following can best describe the“grandtour”now?A. At a reasonablecost. B.It is still reserved for the very rich.C. Travelersenjoythefirst-classforts. D.It is accessible to everyone.29.What can prevent tourists from better understanding another country?living in an international hotel eating and drinking in an international hotelcarefully planned places of interest keeping the natives at a distancebeing unable to speak their languagebeing too happy to be alonenational stereotypes A. B. C. D. 30.Whatistheauthorsattitudetowardtourism?A. Neutral. B. Negative.C. Objective. D. Critical.31.The author wrote this passage to tell us _.A.whentraveling, younoticecharacteristicswhichconfirmyour previous knowledgeB. guidedtourisdisappointingC.thewayoftouringshouldbechangedD.nationalstereotypesshouldbechanged DIt has been known that the octopus has many special skills, such as using hard shells for mobile homes and protection, disabling their suckers, plotting escapes, and even predicting World Cup soccer game outes. Cant we say it is a mysterious creature?While all these talents are impressive, they pale pared to its ability to “disappear” from plain sight. Researchers have long known that this is possible because of the presence of the organs under their skin, which expand or contract to produce a series of colors, patterns and even skin textures in just milliseconds.Scientists had always believed that such a reaction was directed by a signal from the octopuss large, human-like eyes or brain. But a recent report published in the Journal of Experimental Biology by researchers from the University of California at Santa Barbara, indicate that the animal does not have to wait for a signal from its eyes or brain. It can “see” the light with its skin!UCSB doctoral student Desmond and Professor Todd said they have seen reports about octopus skin changing colors in response to light with no signal from the eye or brain. However, there had been no follow-up to find out why this was the case and the two decided to see what they could uncover.They began by taking skin samples from a couple of California octopuses and exposing them to colors, ranging from violent to orange and found that their skin is equipped with the same light-sensitive protein as is found in the cells in the retina of the eyes. Thanks to these proteins, the octopus can “see” the light and react without having to wait for a signal from the eyes or brain, thus enabling it to begin the escape process.Another research by University of Maryland researchers discovered that cuttlefish and squid share the same talent. Thanks to these findings researchers now know that their skin color can be controlled by both. What is still not clear is how the two e together to manage the whole process. The doctoral student plans to get to the bottom of the mystery. 32. Which of the octopuss skills impresses people most according to the passage?A. Their ability to escape from the sight of their enemy.B. Their large human-like eyes and brainsC. Their shells that can move and make predictions. D. Their ability to use shells as their houses.33. What does UCSB research find?A. Skin sample can be taken from California octopuses.B. Octopuses have protein similar to cuttlefishess. C. Octopuses can “see” things by using its skin.D. The skin of octopuses expands to disable an attacker.34. What does the underlined word “both” (in the last paragraph) refer to?A. Signals from the brain and the proteins under their skin.B. The two research teams in UCSB and UM. C. The cells in the retina of the eyes and their good eyesight.D. Cuttlefish and squid.35. What is the next aim of Desmond on octopuses?A. Whether octopuses and cuttlefish have the same ancestor. B. How the signals from their brain work with the proteins.C. When the two teams will cooperate on their research.D. What octopuses will do to disable their enemies.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 book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. 36 But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.1. If youre obese, blame your genes. 37 Yet, between 1980 and xx, the number of Americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2. If youre obese, you lack self-control.Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. 38 Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be good controllers of themselves.3. 39 Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nations population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.4.The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we dont exercise.Michelle Obamas “Lets Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. 40 In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased. A. Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.B. Obesity rates have increased.C. Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.D. But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.E. People hold different views on obesity.F. People benefit a lot from physical activities.G. Our world has bee so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we cant understand.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）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、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。In my childhood, I envied my classmates very much as my absence from school was not allowed due to my strict parents.
