As a country with a history of more than 5000 years, China is rich in civilization and culture. What best represents China?Confucius (551BC - 479 BC)Confucius was a teacher and philosopher from the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. The philosophy of Confucius stresses individual morality including kindness, fairness, politeness, and sincerity. Confucius principles have a broad basis in common Chinese tradition and belief.DragonA dragon is a legendary creature, typically with winding (蜿蜒) or crawling (攀爬) characters. The dragon symbol is frequently used on ancient Chinese emperors items including chairs or clothes. It is considered to symbolize power.The Great WallThere is an old saying that goes, “He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.” The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of the world, is a place one must see when visiting China.21.

What must you do when coming to China according to the passage?A. Learn to exercise Qigong.B. Appreciate Peking Opera.C. Pay a visit to the Great Wall.D. Experience the treatment of cuppingBI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started shouting. She shouted back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression (表情) one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.24. What made Kate so angry one evening?A. She couldnt find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the authors shoes beneath her bed.25.

My Friend KateB. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be OrganizedD. Learning to Be RoommatesCSometimes very odd things show up in ordinary places. In the 1800s, a strange sight began to be reported by farmers. Then in the 1970s, this strange event began to happen more and more often. People traveled for miles to stand in the fields and take photos of something they couldnt easily explain. What were they looking at? It was the crop circles large and complex designs set into the middle of ordinary farm field. No one could understand how these huge designs were made.Crop circles are found most often in fields of wheat, corn, or rice. They are usually created overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. They have been seen all around the world, in more than 70 different countries. Scientists have found that the plants inside a crop circle are drier than the ones outside it. The plant stems (茎) are bent and not broken in most crop circles, and sometimes the soil in the design has more iron than the soil outside of the design. Unfortunately, these facts alone do not help scientists answer their questions about crop circles. These facts only make them more mysterious.Some people believe crop circles are made by UFOs landing in farm fields. Others think aliens are leaving us messages in the beautiful designs. Still others believe Earth energy under the ground makes plants bend over in designs. Some people say they actually made the crop circles with special equipment. Scientists have found some crop circles that are certainly made by people, but they are usually a little different from other crop circles. So who makes crop circles and why they make them cant be explained to this very day.28.

Earth energy is one reason for crop circles appearance.B. UFOs help create some crop circles.C. There actually are crop circles made by aliens.D. Some crop circles are man-made.DWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say “Im just a housewife”. I dont understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home? Is income the only mark of being proud of what you are doing and how you are spending your life?How could you be “you are just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? Isnt it surprising that even if your day starts before everyone and ends after everyone, you still dont feel that you have achieved anything? A housewife works for the longest hour, shelling out every responsibility of the house, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, entertaining family and friends, keeping a pleasant environment at home, remembering things that others have forgotten, looking after each and every requirement of the family members, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and consultant, nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Dont think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offerthe love and affection (挚爱) of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the satisfaction in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; its time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I am a housewife”. Kick that “just” out. 32. How do housewives feel when they say “Im just a housewife”?A. Nervous. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Satisfied.33. Listing the housewifes duties, the author implies (暗示) a housewife _.A. usually leads a terrible lifeB. does not achieve anythingC. does not always get her rewardD. plays an important role in family life 34.If a housewife worked outside, she would _.A. have the same life like beforeB. set a comfortable home for her familyC. absorb her familys stressD. lose the satisfaction that she is enjoying35. What is the authors attitude toward housewives?A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Tolerant.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。Beach volleyball is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. 36 And all you need is sand, a net and a group of people, of any age or fitness level, who want to have fun. Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team, making a total of four people. 37 The more players you have, the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players, each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley (空中截球). If you are looking for a relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams. 38 However, even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface, play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball, he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. 39 This improves the players ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.Whether you are in it for the competition, or just to have a great time with your friends, beach volleyball can be extremely exciting and fun. 40 A. Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules.B. Strengthening his legs is extremely important.C. Beach volleyball is played in many countries now.D. Its really easy.E. Beach volleyball is much more difficult to play than ordinary football.F. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.G. However, if you are less skilled, it will be easier to play with a larger team.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。There was once a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much that he became an apprentice (学徒) to a master puppet-maker. 41 , the young man was not so clever, and his 42 and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would 43 nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he 44 day after day to improve.
