Am I in the right place？” “Well, we have baskets, but they are not Easter baskets for kids; theyre food baskets，” I explained.That morning I arrived at St. Michaels Church in Carmichael, California to help give the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one, we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham, potatoes, bread, vegetables, and a pie enough food to help feed a family for a week.“Why dont you come in？” I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said, “I cant . My daughter is waiting for me over there. I am grateful for the food, but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter . Well, I thought they would be Easter baskets for children.” He continued, “I promised my daughter one, and I wanted to surprise her.”I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number，and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge in one of the baskets caught my eye. “What is that？” I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely, I could see, unmistakably, an Easter basket filled with candy, chocolate, and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake! I thought. Then I looked at the mans number in my hand. Well, hell be .“Happy Easter，” I said to the man, handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside the very same basket with his number on it. “Someone knew just what you needed.”21The young man had thought that _.A. he would have an Easter basket and a food basketB. there would be Easter baskets for childrenC. there would be childrens toys in the food basketD. he would get enough food for the whole year答案与解析B根据第一段I am here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter.可知，答案为B。22What did the author do at the church?A.

The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots，or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plants, which are the parts used for processing (加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required. For black tea, the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry. This process removes much of their water and the leaves become soft. After this, the leaves are passed through heavy rollers. This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both colour and taste.Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment (发酵) under wet conditions. Fermentation develops the dried leaves with a hotair blower until they become rolledup black leaves. The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.25. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “pruning” means “_”A. regular cutting of the plantsB. frequent wateringC. regular use of chemicalsD. growing the plants high in the mountain答案与解析A由第一段“The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high.”可知为“修剪”之意。26. One of the reasons why women are employed to do the picking is that _.A. they work harder than men do in the pickingB. they can throw their pickings more easily into the basketsC. their fingers fit them better for the jobD. they can more easily find the twin leaves答案与解析C由第二段第三句“Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves .”可知。27. How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Three. B. Four.C. Five. D. Six.答案与解析C由最后一段内容可知。28. What is the writers purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce various methods of tea processing.B. To persuade readers to buy tea from Sri Lanka.C. To tell a story that have happened in the tea gardens.D. To inform readers of tea growing, picking and processing.答案与解析D由文章的主题大意可判断。CImagine that you live on a street where there are broken windows, graffiti painted on buildings, and waste on the ground. Would this environment lead to other acts of property damage or crime?European researchers say the answer is yes. The researchers say they found strong evidence that shows disorder can lead people to carrying out criminal acts or bad behavior. The researchers work at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. They reported their findings in Science Magazine last November. Their report is called The Spreading of Disorder.The idea of observing disorder has an effect on peoples behavior is not new. In 1982, American researchers James Wilson and George Kelling wrote a report describing what they called the broken windows theory. They believed that signs of crime, such as broken windows in a building, led to other acts of crime.In the 1990s, New York City officials started a campaign to remove signs of disorder like broken windows, graffiti markings, and rubbish. Soon, the rate of minor crimes in New York began to drop. Other cities around the world also began to use this crimefighting method.But the broken windows theory was also questioned. Experts said there was still no experimental evidence to prove that the drop in crime was a direct result of efforts to clean up city neighborhoods.They said other influences could also have caused the drop in crime. Moreover, the broken windows theory did not fully examine the exact conditions of disorders that appeared to lead to crime.The study from the Netherlands now provides the experimental information to support the broken windows theory.29The underlined word “graffiti” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”A. rude drawingsB. formal displaysC. public signsD. interesting advertisements答案与解析A根据句中的broken windows和waste on the ground可推断， graffiti“涂画；涂鸦”。30Other cities followed New Yorks example because _.A. there was no crime in New York at that timeB. there were fewer crimes in New York after the campaign was startedC. the rate of minor crimes in New York fell to its lowest level everD. the environment in New York was relatively clean答案与解析B根据第四段Soon, the rate of minor crimes in New York began to drop可知，答案为B。31What can we know about the experts questioning the broken windows theory?A. They didnt agree to take rubbish away from cities.B. They thought other influences contributed to the drop in crime.C. They thought cleaning up city neighborhoods was useless.D. They have written an article about questioning the theory.答案与解析B根据第六段They said other influences could also have caused the drop in crime.可知，答案为B。32The author of this passage mainly wants to tell us that _.A. some efforts should be made to punish those who commit a crimeB. more evidence should be provided to support the theoryC. signs of disorder can lead to criminal actsD. acts of property damage or crime are common答案与解析C通读全文内容和第二段. shows disorder can lead people to carrying out criminal acts or bad behavior可知，答案为C。DThe weather is very important to farmers. The calendar might say“August”， but the weathers more like October. For some farmers the cool weather is a good thing. For others, its a cause for concern.At Apple Hill, the cooler weather was giving the Boeger Winery a chance to concentrate on bottling instead of picking. “Things were really maturing，it has just been a welcome relief to have more time to prepare，”said Greg Boeger of Boeger Winery.But down in the Delta, the earlier hot weather has them two weeks ahead of schedule. Their harvest actually started on Tuesday, and this cooling trend is a worry. There have been no problems yet, but for each of the last two years heavy rain right after Labor Day was a problem, one that Don Pylman would not like to see repeated.“If it doesnt start raining, were in good shape，” said Pylman. “If the sun comes out and clears up we can get right back to work, but if we do get rain, the rots will start.”The kind of grape (葡萄) makes a difference as well. Thinskinned grapes like the chardonnay variety are much more sensitive to rain than some of the others. Theyre also more difficult to dry off.33. The weather change _.A. shows that the calendar lacks scienceB. does good to farmersC. shows that the globe is more and more warmingD. doesnt always make farmers worried答案与解析D参见第一段第三句话。34. From the second paragraph we know the Boeger Winery _.A. isnt prepared for the weather changeB. has his wine bottled earlier than usualC. has no chance to pick the grapeD. in fact，doesnt welcome the weather change答案与解析B第二段的第一句话说，天气转凉使他们有更多的时间来做葡萄酒，而往年这时他们还在摘葡萄。35. The underlined “them” in the third paragraph refers to “_”A. the grapesB. the family of WineryC. the farmers at Apple HillD. the farmers in the Delta答案与解析D这句话的意思是说，天气比往年转冷的要早，这使得三角洲的农民计划不得不提前两周。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。I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier (收银台) in her general store. _36_ I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”At first I was paid in candy. _37_ I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 am. to 7 pm.

My coworkers were excitedly _41_ their plans. “Doing anything special？” they asked me. I _42_ my head.I was 3,000 miles from my family in Hawaii, pursuing my lifelong _43_ of becoming a nurse. I attended classes all day, and then went straight to my fulltime _44_ job at night. My weekly plan left me extremely tired and homesick.I had _45_ looked forward to the holidays. But this December I felt unable to go on. Rent, textbooks and other expenses left me with no _46_ cash. Money to go home? I hardly had money to eat.Im on my _47_. “Cover for (顶替) me, will you？”asked Mavis，another waitress，as she _48_ me on her way to the employees room. “_49_， theres this guy at Table Five，”she said. “Hes been _50_ there for more than an hour, not making any trouble but not _51_ anything either.” She paused. “Its like hes _52_ for somebody.”I looked in the corner. _53_ enough, there was a slim, goodlooking man _54_ in a worn shirt, and a black baseball cap，just sitting alone. I went over, trying to _55_ a smile. “Im sorry，” I said, “please let me know if you want anything.”I was turning to walk away _56_ the man spoke. He had a soft, low voice, but somehow I could hear it clear and plain in the _57_ restaurant. “Id like an order of chips，” he said, “and a glass of water.”My heart _58_.Chips were the cheapest thing on the menu, which I wouldnt get much of a(n) _59_. But maybe this guy was broken, and I surely knew how he felt. _60_ I decided to try my best to make him feel okay.41A. expressing B. changingC. discussing D. announcing42A. used B. liftedC. nodded D. shook43A. mind B. dreamC. satisfaction D. demand44A. waitress B. actressC. assistant D. maid45A. seldom B. alwaysC. merely D. hardly46A. other B. restC. any D. extra47A. way B. dutyC. break D. work48A. stepped B. ignoredC. passed D. jumped49A.

But B. OtherwiseC. So D. Or答案与解析41C圣诞节的前五天，我的同事们都在兴奋地讨论他们的节日计划。express“表达”通常不与plan连用；同事们不会都改变计划，不符合常理；announce一般用于宣布重大的事情。42D同事问我节日期间有没有什么特殊的安排，从下文可知，我的节假日仍然是在打工，所以没有什么特殊安排，故我的反应应该是摇头。其他选项都不符合上下文的文意。43B我远离家乡追寻着做护士的理想。satisfaction“满意”，demand“要求”都与pursue不能搭配。44A由第42空后的another waitress可知作者晚上要在餐馆打工做服务生。maid“女仆”，不用于指餐馆中的服务员。45B我一直都期待着假日，但这次无法去度假了。其他选项都表示否定，和后面的but不能顺接。46D之所以无法过这个假期，是因为租金、教科书和其他的花费使我的钱所剩无几了。other表“其他的”，与文意不符；rest一般不作形容词。47C根据常识，服务生一般在休息时才交谈。on the way“在路上”；on duty“值班”。没有on ones work的用法。48C当她从我旁边经过时询问我是否能顶替她。两个人一直在进行对话，所以只能是她从旁边经过时。其他选项都与逻辑和文章不符。49A前面Mavis说让“我”顶替她，这里就是又补充了一句，故用By the way“顺便说一句”。空前后两句话不是表示相反、强调和转折的逻辑关系。50B他一直坐在那儿一个多小时，没有制造任何麻烦也没有点吃的东西。由下文的“just sitting alone”可排除其他选项。51D他一直在一个人坐着，又没点东西才说他好像在等某个人。52B他一直坐着也没有点吃的，所以说他好像在等人。long for“渴望”，不如等某人更符合“只坐着而不点吃的”的状态。53D上一段中Mavis说5号桌那坐着一位客人，这里作者向角落里看了看，确实看到有一个年轻人在那里，故选D项。Sure enough“的的确确”。“兴奋地”“幸运地”“拼命地”都与文意不符。54A由后面的a worn shirt, and a black baseball cap可知应该用穿着。dressed in sth.可以表达穿着某件衣服。用wore的话，应该把后面的in去掉。55A我过去竭力保持微笑着同这位男士说话。force在这里表示“强装出来”。contribute a smile不符合搭配。56B我正要准备走开时，这位男子说话了。when和过去将来时连用表示“正要那时”while虽然也有“当的时候”，但一般不与过去将来时连用，其后面常接一般进行时态。57A虽然他柔和而低声地说话，但我还是能很清楚地听到，说明这个餐馆很安静。wonderful“极好的”，餐馆很好和作者能听到小的声音没有必然的联系。58A土豆片是菜单上最便宜的东西，自己将不能得到很多小费。所以说自己的心沉了一下。heart和beat常连用，但不符合此处语境。59B按照常识，在餐馆里，顾客要了最便宜的菜，侍者自然会得到很少的小费。pay“工资”，prize“奖金”，一般不用于餐馆顾客给服务生的额外的奖励。60C因为确实知道他的感受，所以我尽最大努力使他感觉好一点。其他选项不符合正确的逻辑关系。第卷第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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。Alice always wanted to be a singer.
