He was always borrowing things from them.“Its not right,”Mr.Connery said to his wife one evening. “At some time or another that man has borrowed nearly everything we have. Almost every day he comes over to borrow something.”“Youre quite right,”his wife replied,“and most of the things hes never returned.”“What I want to know,”her husband said,“is why cant he buy the things he needs, like everyone else?”“Because people like us are foolish enough to lend him what he needs,”she replied. “As long as we are willing to lend, hell keep on borrowing.”“Then well never lend him anything again,”Mr.Connery said.“The next time he asks to borrow something, Ill say no.”“We must have a good reason for saying no,”his wife said, “and we must always try to be polite to him.We dont want to make an enemy of the man.”It was not long before their decision not to lend their neighbor anything ever again was put to the test.The next morning there was a knock on the door. Mr.Connery went to answer it. Their neighbor was standing there. Mr.Connery knew he was going to ask to borrow something, and was ready to refuse him politely. “Good morning ,”their neighbor said,“Im sorry to trouble you, but I wonder if I could borrow your garden scissors.”“Im sorry,”Mr.Connery said,“but Im afraid my wife and I will be using them today.Well be spending all day working in the garden.”“Oh, I see,”the neighbor said,“in that case, may I borrow your golf clubs?

Today, the sheepskin boot has taken the world by storm.A fan described the boot like this：“Its like getting to know a young man. At first he might not be that attractive. But after a few dates and you get really comfortable, you just cant be without each other. Well, thats how I feel about my UGG boots.”UGG is now a word that can be understood in any language. In fact, the UGG boots or just UGG is a term for sheepskin footwear which is worn in Australia and New Zealand for almost two centuries.This name for the sheepskin boot is actually short for “ugly”as the appearance of the boot is big, strange and unusual. At first, UGG is a slang(俚语)term in Australia and local people all prefer to call these sheepskin boots the UGG. Comfortable and warm, these boots can do a great job to keep the wearers feet and even the lower leg against the cold.However, the story of this shoe from Australia is a legend(传奇). During the World War I, these UGG boots on sale were the favorite of pilots, who wore these sheepskin boots to keep warm. When they took these boots home and even gifted their families or friends, the boot started to become well received. In the 1960s, the worldwide surfing(冲浪运动)made many a man gather on the beach of Australia and enjoyed themselves with surfing. When the surfers found a strange and big footwear was worn by Australian surfers, they made a note to bag themselves a nice pair and fell in love with it soon. However, this is just the beginning of the story. Many years later, they were seen on the streets of Paris and California worn by some famous people like Kate Moss, Madonna and Pamela Anderson.41.The underlined phrase in the first paragraph can be replaced by _.A.disappeared in the world B.destroyed the world by stormC.become well-known for stormD.attracted worldwide attention 42.Whats the main idea of the second paragraph?A.How to wear UGG.B.The meaning of UGG.C.The production of UGG.D.Why UGG is famous.43.Surfers from other countries crowded the beach of Australia_.A.in the 1960s B.during the WWI C.before 1960 D.before the WWI44.What makes UGG boots popular is that they are_.A.ugly B.expensive C.strange D.comfortable45.UGG boots_.A.were liked by pilots during the WWIB.became world-famous overnightC.are worn only at homeD.are out of date today CSlow FoodYouve heard of fast food. But what about Slow Food? Slow Food is an international movement. It promotes(促进)home cooking, and the use of fresh, unprocessed produce. It was founded as a reaction to the popularity of unhealthy fast food.It also encourages people to buy food from local businesses, rather than large supermarkets.The movement began in 1986. At the time, McDonalds wanted to open a restaurant in the centre of Rome(Italy).Food writer Carlo Petrini, along with others, was against this. So the Slow Food Organisation was born. Today, it has over 100,000 members in 132 countries. And its symbol(象征) is one of the worlds slowest moving creatures, the snail. The organisations website explains,“The snail was chosen because it moves slowly, and calmly eats its way through life.”But Slow Food isnt just about the food we eat. Its also about how we eat it. Slow foodies ay that in our fast food world with very little time, weve forgotten that eating should be a home activity. They believe families should eat together and talk, rather than watch TV with their dinner on their laps. In fact, research has shown that if children grow up in a family that eat together at the table, they are more likely to do well in school, and less likely to have behavioural problems or develop eating disorders.And theres more! Slow Food has sparked an entire Slow Movement. This encourages people to slow down the pace of their busy lives. And now, within the movement, theres Slow Money, Slow Travel and Slow Art, among many others. In 1999 the World Institute of Slowness was formed. One of the Institutes slogans is“Everything worth doing in life, is worth doing slowly.”said by the famous American actress Mae West. Do you agree? No need to answer straight away. Have a long hard think about it. Take your time. And get back to us when you can.46.Slow Food movement promotes_.A.eating in restaurants B.cooking at homeC.buying food from supermarketsD.using fresh and processed produce47.The snail was chosen as the symbol of the Slow Food Organisation because_.A.it is a moving creature B.it eats lessC.it moves slowly D.most people like it48.The underlined word“sparked”in the last paragraph means“_”.A.parked B.caused C.stopped D.increased49.So far, the World Institute of Slowness has existed_.A.more than 20 years B.over 25 years C.less than 10 years D.over 10 years50.Which of the following is not mentioned within the Slow Movement?A.Slow Money. B.Slow Travel.C.Slow Parenting. D.Slow Art.DThe carpenter that I hired came to help me repair an old farmhouse. When he had just finished the first day on the job, a flat tyre made him lose an hour of work. Besides, his electric tool got something wrong and his old truck refused to start. So I decided to drive him home.While I drove him home, he sat in completely silence. On arriving, he invited me to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused(暂停)briefly at a small tree, touching the tips(树梢) of the branches with both hands. When opening the door, he made an amazing change. He wore a big smile on his face and hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Then, he introduced his family members to me happily. I had a good time in his home. Afterward, he and I walked to the car. We passed the tree and it reminded me of the carpenters touching before entering his house. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. “Oh, thats my trouble tree.”He replied.“Trouble tree? How interesting! Does it bring lots of trouble to your family?”I was very puzzled. I believed that there must be a story.“I know I cannot help having troubles on my job, but one thing for sure is that, troubles dont belong in the house with my wife and children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again.” The carpenter continued.“The funny thing is,”he smiled,“when I come out in the morning to pick these troubles up, there arent nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.”I was grateful that I had the chance to drive him home and to know his trouble tree. Then, I learned that there are always a lot of troubles in our lives, but the problem is whether they control you or you control them.51.The writer hired the carpenter to repair_.A.a flat tyre B.an electric tool C.an old truck D.an old farmhouse52.When opening the door, the carpenter_.A.touched the tips of the branchesB.paused briefly at a small treeC.changed his facial expression D.blamed his wife and children 53.The carpenter touched the tree because_.A.he believed that the tree could grow faster by touching B.he thought that the tree could bring him good luckC.he wanted to build himself up D.he tried to control his trouble 54.We can learn from the passage that_.A.the writer planted a trouble tree, too B.the carpenter loved his children and wifeC.the carpenter worked for the writer for freeD.the writer and the carpenter became good friends 55.Whats the best title of the passage?A.The Trouble TreeB.The Happy FamilyC.Carpenter and Boss D.The Hard-working Carpenter第卷 (非选择题 分25分)第四部分 书面表达（共1小题，满分25分）Iris Chen is a student from Beijing, China.
