So was a girl in my class named Paris. Thats where the similarities ended.I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasnt. I couldnt stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.One day, she invited me over and I said yes I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies which was my next surprise. I would have thought shed outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. Thats when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations.We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each others houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.Paris, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.36The writer and Paris were similar in that .A. they were both new students B. both of them were friendlyC. both of them were tall D. they were both the youngest in class37In the article the writer described Paris as a girl who was .A. awkward and shy B. fashionable and proudC. quiet and lonely D. friendly and lovely38What did the writer learn from Paris?A. How to make best use of her neighborhood. B. How to dress and look fashionable.C. How to become a good writer. D. How to make friends.39From the article, we can see that through her friendship with Paris, the writer .A. found she and Paris had more similarities than differencesB. was able to fit in at her new school with Paris helpC. was not so awkward or shy as beforeD. learned more about fashion herselfB“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face”. A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”, means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”, meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in stature on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors.The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.“It is meaningful, to allow the capital show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world. Michael Lu, vice-president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.”He believed signs were very important in public services. The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation,” on the subject. About 50,000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies to the languages vitality and inclusiveness, said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University.40How did Chinglish come into being?A. Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.B. Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.C. Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.D. Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.41What Shi Anbin said means .A. there are many French and Spanish words in EnglishB. English is the language with vitality and inclusivenessC. Chinglish enriches English and shouldnt be got rid ofD. Chinglish has greater effect on English than French and Spanish42According to Oliver Radtke, Chinglish .A. shows how Chinese people think B. does damage to the English languageC. shows the great humor of Chinese people D. should be sold to all over the worldCDogs can know the meaning of a human perspective, say researchers. Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a humans point of view than has previously been recognized, according to researchers. They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see. This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners perspective had changed. The study, published in Animal Cognition, conducted tests on eighty-four dogs. The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners. It wanted to see if dogs had a flexible understanding that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human. It found that when the lights were turned off, dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food. The study says it is unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room when there was no light. Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them. Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances. Dr Juliane Kaminski, from the University of Portsmouths psychology department, said the study was incredible because it implies dogs understand the human cant see them, meaning they might understand the human perspective. Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs faces, this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions. “Humans constantly attribute certain qualities and emotions to other living things. We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive, but thats us thinking, not them,” said Dr Kaminski. “These results suggest humans might be right, where dogs are concerned, but we still cant be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others minds. It has always been assumed only humans had this ability. 43According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries.B. Dogs always obey and dont steal forbidden food.C. Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances.D. The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light. 44Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Dogs-Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most.B. Dogs Are Our Best Friends.C. Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way, Researchers Say.D. Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings, Researchers Say.45. Where can we probably read this kind of articles? A. Textbooks. B. Advertisements. C. Instructions. D. Magazines.46This passage can be classified as .A. an argumentative writing B. a feature story C. a dog show review D. a research result DIn every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.The furniture may often be “antique”, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the towns main trade. There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death.Although the British do not worship their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.47Books found in second-hand book shops may _.Abe copies of the earliest printing Bbe on sale for the first timeCnever be worth very much Dnever be rare48Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because_.Athey are too expensive for average buyers Bthey remind you of the original ownerCthey are now neglected Dthey are sold for charity49Which of the following word can best take the place of the word “antique” in the second paragraph?Ainvention Bpossession Cmaterial Drelic 50According to the passage, the British people_.Ado not respect old things because they are not fashionableBlike to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do soClike to buy new things because they are fashionableDdo not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable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。College life can become a great struggle because students have to balance school, a social life, and sometimes a job as well. The following steps could help the grades of college students. Go to class. Why did your parents pay for your tuition or why are your parents paying their taxes for financial aid? Even when you dont feel like attending class, just go. 51 Many classes have in class assignments, pop quizzes, and case studies that only could be taken in class. If you are not there, you might lose points. 52 College is all about multitasking. Planners can really help you to balance homework, due dates and tests. You should try to get your work done early, then you will have less stress. Be business-like about your education. If you had a job you would have to go to your job at 9am and stay there until 5pm. 53 If you did the same thing in college, you would be great. Go to class, go to the library, study seriously, at 5pm put away the books and go home. Once in a while you might have to work late, just like at a real job. 54 Everyone studies in different ways. Some can study with a lot of noise and others want silence. Some cant even study with music on and some need dead silence. Some like the library and some like to study with friends, or even outside. 55 AStay organized.BAlways try to keep a positive attitude and have confidence.CYou might get participation points, and the professor will also get to know y
