Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news. As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.Thats how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch (信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Mens Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.21. This passage is mainly about _.A. the past and present of British pubs B. the decline of British pubsC. the long history of British pubs D. the importance of British pubs22. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?A. The credit crunch. B. The ban of smoking.C. The present closing time. D. Having no spare money.23. We can infer from the passage that _. A. British people used to like drinking slowlyB. closing the pubs early will reduce social problemsC. binge drinking means drinking less beer D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking24. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _. A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs B. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause fewer social problems D. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you needBI am 26. Im clear that Im never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, its up to us.Im single and have no kids. Ive flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but its the little things that make a difference.Were not robots. Its hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isnt. Ive seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, its like, “It was really nice to help you, but Im ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You cant wait to turn off the flight attendants voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, its huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. Were up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.25. Whats the authors attitude towards Mother Teresa?A. Grateful.B. Fearful.C. Doubtful.D. Admiring. 26. How did the author like her roommates job?A. It was the same as hers.B. It was more interesting than hers.C. It was easier than hers.D. It was more serious than hers.27. Why does the author fly every Christmas?A. Because she has nowhere to go.B. Because shes trying to be a helpful co-worker.C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.D. Because shed like to earn more money.28. What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “Were not robots”?A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.C. Flight attendants get tired while robots dont.D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.CWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest dont want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed(束缚). A smart person who cant stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slackers(偷懒的人) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people. They figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves dont want to do.Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They dont like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonalds complex, but in fact, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that cant be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isnt going to help you unless you can use your talent to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more choices you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.So, dont be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.29. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe _.A. the work is not divided equally B. they can perform better than others C. the group projects are too stressful D. average students are unwilling to take part 30. McDonalds is used as an example to prove that _.A. a business calls for smart peoples talent B. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business31. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people _.A. have fewer choices in a company B. risk more when starting business C. are unwilling to put money to a business D. can have a good income in many different fields32. What is the best title for the passage?A. Potentials for Success B. Bases for BusinessC. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success? D. Talent Means Successful Business?DAlone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs. Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.33. The author mentions coconuts falling to .A. show his lonelinessB. add beauty to the jungleC. express his love of natureD. stress the absolute silence34.Whats the right order of the following vents?a. I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.b. I went to the jungle.c. I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.d. I lay on the ground to have a break.e. I picked fruits and chopped firewood.A. b, c, e, a, dB. e, c, b, d, a C. b, e, d, c, aD. e, d, c, b, a35. How does the author feel about the ant?A. He admired its attitude toward work.B. He was amazed at its tireless efforts.C. He showed sympathy for the little ant.D. He was content to have it as a companion.36. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably .A. work harder than beforeB. talk to the man on the horseC. make his way homeD. stay in the valley37. We can learn from the passage that the author .A. enjoyed being aloneB. experienced a world of quietnessC. missed his busy life in the cityD. had an unforgettable adventure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。(请将答案写在答题卷上。)There is difference between reading for information and reading for understanding. 38 The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 39 Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we dont have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the readers understanding. 40 Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here, learning means understanding more, not remembering more information.What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. 41 Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality to some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved. 42 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.A. The writer should have a better communicating skill.B. Such communication between unequals must be possible.C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.D. The writer must be superior to the reader in understanding.E. Thus, we can employ the word reading in two different senses.F. Reading for entertainment can increase our understanding of information.G. Besides gaining information and understanding, theres another goal of reading entertainment.第三部分 英语知识运用( I ) -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 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。 Peer（同伴）pressure can be a powerful force, and sometimes a positive one. For example, making friends with active peers may lead kids to 43 more, making a childs social network a way of promoting healthy habits and 44 obesity without being aware. The scientists studied networks of a group of students aged 5 to 12 and 45 how the youngsters made and dropped friends, and what 46 these changing relationships had on their physical activity level.In fact, children 47 their exercise level little by little to better 48 those in their circle; children who 49 more active students were more 50 to increase their physical activity levels, 51 those who befriended more sedentary(久坐不动的) children became 52 active. The children were mirroring, following or changing to be 53 their friends before they knew it.The encouraging 54 suggest a potentially effective way to change childrens behavior. 55 relying only on organized exercise programs to get moving, perhaps introducing sedentary kids to more active ones might help more kids 56 the couch. Its believed that this is a possible new approach to obesity 57 . The social environment does carry more power than we have given it 58 for, so we should make use of that intentionally to influence kids.Considering that children are 59 connected to one another, 60 through face-to-face interactions or virtual（虚拟的）ones, their 61 networks can clearly have a deep effect on many aspects of their behavior- help kids 62 the long run by turning them into healthier adults.43.
