She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.

His parents house was in north London, but during the Second World War Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies. When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his fathers old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine. Mathematics was not available at College, so he did Physics instead. After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first class honours degree in Natural Science.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no one working in that area in Oxford at the time. His supervisor was Dennis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge. After gaining his Ph. D, he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University. It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.Professor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982,and was made a panion of Honour in 1989.

Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing.Lets start with the centre, the “Square Mile”. This is the oldest part of London. In the past, it was where all financial business was done. Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day.Moving west, we e to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, and you will see big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high; a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1,000 pounds a week. Further away is West London. This area is more residential(住宅的)and very fashionable.The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the culture of this area very various. London won the bid to hold the Olympics in xx, so many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a collection of villages”, each area with its own character and munity. Put them all together, and you have London, an international capital.28.

D.300, 000 people live there.29. Tom, an American, wants to go shopping in London. He had better go to .A. the East End B. the West End C. the Port of London D. the Square Mile30.

The East End is richer than other parts of London. B. There must be many ships in the East End.C. People living in the East End have good housing. D. Most Londoners are satisfied with their government.DHave you ever had a science class that you look forward to？It doesnt happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Field, its more than a science class. Its a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you dont care about. My experience with Mrs. Field didnt start with science class, but with her as my tutor. I was always a weak reader and wasnt getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored(辅导). One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to drag me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness. We didnt even play a reading game. We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didnt make me read a boring textbook about something I didnt care about. I didnt even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be？To my surprise, She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me, in this way I didnt have to read for long periods of time. As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter. Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it were not for her, I would not be the reader I am today! 32. The writer tutored by Mrs. Field because _. A. he was too shy to talk with others. B. he found science fun but hard. C. he was eager to learn science. D. he lacked the skills of reading. 33. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that _. A. the writer knew Mrs. Field very wellB. the writer was unwilling to be tutored C. the writer felt awkward to read in the library D. the writer went to the library to play a reading game 34. At the library, the writer _. A. chose any book he was interested in B. played a reading game with Mrs. FieldC. was asked to read one chapter after another D. had to read textbooks rather than magazines35. Whats the authors feeling about Mrs. Field according to the last paragraph？ A. unsatisfied B. worried C. grateful D. regretful.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。Millions of people all over the world use the word OKIn fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the worldOK means all right or acceptableIt expresses agreement or approval 36 Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw（乔克托语）The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okayExperts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth centuryBut many people doubt thisLanguage expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960sHe said the word began being used in the 1830s 37Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OKOther people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long agoThey said he put the first letters of his name-O and K-on each object people gave him to send on the train 38 The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840They called their group the OK clubThe letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born-Old Kinderhook, New YorkThen there is the expression A-OKIt is a space-age expressionIt was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan ShepardHe was the first American to be launched into spaceHis flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as plannedShepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” 39 One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been receivedThere are also funny ways to say okay 40 These expressions were first used in the 1930sToday, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another wayHe says okely-doke ASome people say okey-dokey or okey-dokeBStill others say a political organization invented the wordCTherefore, it has bee popular in that area from then onDBut many experts dont agree on what the expression meansEStill, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.FIt was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.GHowever, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age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，掌握其大意，然后从4160各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Several decades of years ago, I ran a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
