Lonely Planet, the worlds largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but time poor travelers. London and Paris It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades- but each secretly looks up to the other.No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions, such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.In Paris, youll see diners linger(逗留) over red wine. While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.Vienna and BratislavaAustrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train. But since they are linked by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship.

You can appreciate the perfect blending(融合) of architecture and nature in the grand Scholoss Schonbrunn Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee, which has made its way to the worlds cultural heritage.Bratislava is best known for its fine diningthe remarkable UFO restaurant. You can enjoy a meat-filled dinner here in an amazing setting.31. Whats the relationship between London and Paris according to the text? A. They help each other. B. They attack each other. C.

A. they are not expensive to visit B. they are best known to the world C. they are always enemies between each other D. they are close but different in many aspectsBAge plays a major part in people who are infected with cold，ie，in people who suffer from cold infection. A study done by University of Michigan，has shown information that seems to be true for the general population. Babies are the most cold infected group，generally more than six colds in their first year. Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three. After three，girls are easier to get infected with cold than boys，and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys two. The general cold infections continue to get less into adults. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds every year. One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties，especially women，who show a rise in cold infection，because people in this age group are most likely to have young children.The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well. With more and more income，the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower. Families with the lowest income usually suffer about a third ally forces people to live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned by richer people，and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also have an effect on our diet. Many scientists believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection.34Which of the age groups has the highest frequency of cold infection?ASmall babies. BTeenage boys.CAdult women. DElderly people.35The purpose of writing this passage is to_.Agive the readers some tips to avoid cold infectionBshow a carefulmade study on cold infection Creport the major reasons leading to cold infectionDdescribe all the possible dangers of cold infection36How does economy play an important role in cold infection?AFamilies with lower income suffer less from cold infection.BPeople who have lower income enjoy living in crowded rooms.CRich families can have better nutrition and never get infected.DPeople with higher income have fewer chances of infection.37From the passage we can infer that_.Aage is the only important factor that connects with coldsBfamilies with the highest income will more easily get infectedCpeople have lower frequency of infection as they grow olderDa better diet may help people to fight against cold infection CSince the beginning of the year, smog (雾霾) has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe. So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop? Its for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life, ” he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promote W5P2 ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central governments determination to address the environment issue.38The effect of smog doesnt include _.Athe increase of peoples income Bmore people suffering diseasesCthe rising of PM2.5 readings Dpatients increasing in hospital39Why has smog become a common concern?ABecause people have to pay higher prices. BBecause a popular onlinepost discussed it.CBecause we have to develop industry. DBecause nobody can avoid it.40The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to “_”Aspace technologies Bother planetsChuman beings Dindustrial development41From the last two paragraphs we can infer that _.Ahightech can completely solve the problem of pollutionBspace technologies should be developed on a large scale.Cwe can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyedDwe must protect the environment while developing economyDWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while theyre space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.42How do you understand Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, ?A. People dont communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.43Which of the following best shows peoples attitude towards mobile phones?A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.D. Mobile phones are part of peoples life.44It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _.A. the TV screen B. a fax machineC. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone45The best heading for the passage is _.A. Phone Power B. Kinds of PhoneC. How to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共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。Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someones situationIf you want to know how to be a good listener，read on to get started！ 46 Its easy to get lost in yourself and to only consider the impact of the other persons “telling” on youBut active listening is blocked by your inward thinkingOn the contrary，you must look at the problems from the other persons angleDont try to help immediatelySome people think that they should find a quick and easy solution to the persons problem while listeningInstead，you should take the time to think of a “solution” only if he or she is really looking for help in this way 47 Remember what youve been told 48 So，if the person is telling you about his problems with his best friend，you can at least remember his name so you can refer to him that wayIf you dont remember any names，details，or important events，then it wont sound like youre listeningEncourage the speaker with body language 49 Also says little things such as “Yeah” when the person is talking about something that they want you to agree on or “Wow” when the person talks about a tragedy or something bad done against themThese words betray that youre not only listening but paying attentionMake eye contactIf you give your friend the impression you arent interested and are distracted，they may never open up to you again 50 .AWait for the person to open upBPlace yourself in the other persons shoesCShow them that you care by nodding at right times so they know youre listeningDBeing a good listener is to actually absorb the information the person has told youEFocus directly on their eyes so that they will know certainly that you are absorbing every single wordFInstead of the conclusion，let the speaker know that you are ready to listen and to be a sounding boardGIf you start thinking of all of the quick measures for the persons problems，you wont be listening attentively第II卷第一部分第一节 单词拼写.（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分）(注意正确形式)1.His friends were enthusiastic and encouraged him to publish his ideas, but Copernicus was _(谨慎的).2.But she was _(使激动)by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum.3.At first my new _(周围的环境)were difficult to tolerate.4.First well put you as an _(助手) to an experienced journalist.5.You have three layers of skin which act as a _(屏障)against disease, poisons and the suns harmful rays.6.They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and _(财产)as well as their activities and achievements.7.Others try to _（传达）certain emotions.8.You see,
