Spy CampBI remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet fun experience.My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start, pedaling(骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didnt.As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasnt that afraid of falling anymore.Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, l believed I could do well with my granddads help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.34. How was the author when he was on the bike first?A. He didnt know where he would be going.B. He thought balancing himself was easy.C. He was nervous and didnt know what to do next.D. He put his feet on the pedals and started pedaling.35. What does the underlined part in the passage mean?A. Remember what happened this day.B. Make the author feel happy.C. Stop practicing bicycling.D. Go on to ride a bike.36. What is the authors attitude towards his granddad?A. Supportive. B. Grateful.C. Indifferent. D. Negative.37. Which of the following could be the title for the passage ?A. The Experience of My First Riding a BikeB. The Difficulty I Met with My GranddadC. The First Time I Got My Own BikeD. The Great Moment When I Stayed with My GranddadCThere is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US.In 1978, 50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licences. In 2008, according to the US Transportation Department, it was just 30%. The number of those aged 19 and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978, when 11,989,000 had licences. In 2010, it was 9, 932,441, or 4.1% of American drivers.In the UK, 683,273 teenagers have driving licencesjust 1.85% of total licence holders, according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010.But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states, which force drivers aged under 16 to be with licensed drivers of 21 years and older when driving.In recent years, the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever. Car use began falling in 2007, when average petrol prices almost doubled to $ 4.12 a gallon, and the economy became worse.But there are signs that it is getting back to normal and America remains a country on wheels. It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world.“Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America. You have to take into consideration some places dont have access to public transportation. Cars are the only way some people can get around,” says Kristin Nevels. This makes driving necessary in some rural states, where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities.38. The underlined word “declining” in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.A. RisingB. droppingC. improvingD. holding39. In recent years cars are used less than before mainly because of .A. traffic jamsB. harder testsC. expensive petrolD. worst economy40. We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin Nevels .A. doubts the popularity of the car use in the futureB. thinks American people cannot live without CarsC. holds a confident attitude to the cars future in AmericaD. believes America should build up its public transportation41. What can be inferred from the text?A. The UK has more teenager drivers than the US.B. A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US.C. The US has very developed bus transportation systems.D. Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US.DA new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London. Head researcher Dr. Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same thinking tasks. The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr. Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. Its really interesting and shocking.Dr. Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time. This means we do not work at our best. She asked, What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better. The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr. Linnells research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Lets wait to see what will happen.42. What did Dr. Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe?A. Himba people are cleverer than others.B. Himba people arent used to the life in city.C. Himba people focus better in the desertD. Himba people give up traditional farming.43. What happened in the past one hundred years?A. Many people returned to the countryside.B. Big cities attracted many people to live and work.C. Many people couldnt concentrate on one task.D. The way companies operate changed a great deal.44. The underlined word outdoors in the last paragraph probably refers to _.A. villages B. citiesC. towns D. countries45. What is the main purpose of the text ?A. to remind people to focus better.B. to advise people to live in countryside.C. to share a recent study with readers.D. to show the bright future to readers.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。Courtesy in EnglishCourtesy (礼貌) is an art form that shows our moral character. Chinas history is one of a civilization (文明) with a highly developed sense of etiquette (礼仪); therefore, we should speak English as politely as possible when we go abroad.Ordering meals46. _ Beginning your request with “May I ?”, “Could I ?” is considered polite. For example, “May I have a latte?” It is also politer to say, “Ill have ” or “Id like ” instead of “I want ”, because it will be considered as less direct.Asking for helpIf we need to ask someone for help, we should say, “Excuse me”, or “Do you mind if I ask you something?”. 47. _ Instead, for example, we should say, “Could you tell me where the rest rooms are?”48. _Local people in other countries sometimes speak really fast, so it can be hard for us to catch all the words. In such a situation, we can say, “Pardon me?” to ask them to repeat what they said. In my opinion, saying “Can you please repeat that? I didnt follow,” is the politest way.Refusing an invitation49. _ If we really cant make it, we can first say, “Id like to ” and then say, “but I have to work late,” for example. Or “Im afraid I cant ”, or even, “That sounds great, but ”Expressing disagreementWe can use sentences like “I see what youre saying, but I think ”, or “You could be right, but dont forget that ” or even, “Yes, thats true, but Im not sure that ” 50. _A. We should not ask our questions directly.B. It is also important to know how to refuse someones invitation.C. Being polite when you order something is very important.D. Do you know some basic rules of answering the telephone?E. Cant catch whats been said?F. These are great ways to express disagreement politely by being less direct.G. “Please” and “thank you” go a long way when we speak to each other.第三部分 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。As a youngster from the city, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm in western Pennsylvania.I can still _51_ one afternoon when I was eight years old.

He has to learn to do things _64_ himself.”“_65_,” he said to me, “And come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my _66_. Ill never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, “you made this day a special day just by being _67_.
