In the early 20th century, Dubai was a successful trading port. People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business. But it was still a small city, and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen. Then in 1966, oil was discovered. This brought a lot of money into the area, and soon Dubai began to change. Today Dubai is one of the worlds most important business centers. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil. Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad. They come to relax on its beaches, and every year, millions visit just to go shopping! Dubai is also one of the worlds fastest growing cities. Many tall buildings are built in months. The city also has many man-made islands. One of these, the Palm Jumeirah, is like a palm tree and is very beautiful. The city is still an amazing mix of people from different countries. People from 150 countries live and work in Dubai, and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives by eight to one! Many people welcome the citys growth. But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change. As a Dubai native says, “We must always remember where we came from. Our kids must know we worked very, very hard to get where we are now, and theres a lot more work to do.”21. Why did people stop in Dubai in the early 20th century?A. To relax. B. To buy oil. C. To do business. D. To go shopping.22. In the last paragraph, what does the underlined part mean?A. We should always visit Dubai. B. We should learn from foreigners.C.

Many tall buildings are built in months.D. Many tourists come to relax on Dubais beaches.B I got into the teaching profession purely by choice. I was then in 9th grade, when my mathematics teacher asked me to take a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the entire teaching session. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.After my graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public section in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. In fact, I felt it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as aLecturer, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that taking lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before going to the classes.I loved to explore their young minds, and read their inquisitive(爱探究的)faces when a particular topic seemed tough. It was extremely challenging to motivate them to participate in the classroom, think critically, question and also respect others point of view. Though things never seemed easy, it was extremely exciting to make sure that they really can. That is the reason why I love to teach.24. From the first paragraph, we can know_.A. the authors maths teacher was strict with herB. the author felt happy to teach the studentsC. not all the teachers like students to ask questionsD. the author in the beginning thought teaching was boring25. Why did the author refuse to work as a software developer?A. Because the salary was lower than that of a teacher.B. Because the working conditions were quite bad.C. Because she didnt feel the same satisfaction as being a teacher.D. Because she wanted to try more chance to challenge her value.26. The author hopes to be devoted to education because she can_.A. inspire more kids to learn with real curiosityB. make more younger friends as she gets olderC. earn more than a software designer in her cityD. know more about others point of view 27. Whats the best title of the passage？A. Choosing your job according to your interestB. How to build a good relationship with studentsC. An unforgettable teaching experienceD. Why I love to teachCThere seems to be a general assumption(假设)that brilliant people cannot stand routine and that they need a varied, exciting life in order to do their best. It is also assumed that dull people are particularly suited for dull work. We are told that the reason why the present-day young complain so loudly about the dullness of jobs is that they are better educated and brighter than the young of the past.Actually, there is no evidence that people who achieve a lot desire to live colorful lives. The opposite is nearer the truth. Einstein worked out his theory of relativity while serving as a clerk in a Swiss patent office. Immanuel Kants daily life was dull routine. The housewives of Konigsberg set their clocks when they saw him pass, on his way to the university. He took the same walk each morning, no matter whether it rained or shone. The greatest distance Kant ever traveled was sixty miles from Konigsberg.It may be true that work on the assembly line(流水作业线)dulls the abilities and empties the mind, and the cure is only fewer hours of work at higher pay. But during fifty years as a workman, I have found dull routine coexisting with an active mind. While doing dull, repetitive work by the water，I could talk with my partners and compose sentences in my mind, all at the same time. Chances are that had my work been too interesting I could not have done any thinking and composing at work or even in my own time after returning from work.People who find dull jobs unbearable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves at leisure. Children and mature people will get used to dull routine, while the adolescent, who has lost the childs ability to concentrate and who is without the inner resources of the mature, needs excitement and novelty to get rid of boredom.28. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that_.A. great minds hate to live colorful livesB. Einstein worked out his theory in a universityC. Kant only took the same walk on rainy and sunny daysD. Kant might pass Konigsberg every day at the same time29. How does the author feel about his repetitive work by the water？A. It made his mind empty.B. It was too dull to think of anything else.C. It worked well with his active mind.D. It was well-paid but too demanding.30. The reasons why youngsters dislike dull work include the following EXCEPT that they_.A. are not mature enoughB. think themselves smartC. often complain about othersD. dont know how to spend spare time31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To argue for the benefits of dull work.B. To present some facts about dull work.C. To share his own dull working experience.D. To persuade young people to live a dull life.DReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills（读写能力）, With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudg-mental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard-reading as a headache.” said Lisa Myton, manager of the childrens department.Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three or four of the classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.32. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. A special reading program. B. Advantages of raising dogs.C. Service in a public library. D. Childrens reading difficulties.33. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _.A. dogs are young childrens best friendsB. children can play with dogs while readingC. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children D. children and dogs understand each other34. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea,” the writer means thelibrary _.A. uses dogs to attract children B. has decided to train some dogsC. has opened a childrens departmentD. accepts the idea put forward by ITA 35. The underlined part “a paw graphed book” is most probably _.A. a book used in Saturday classes B. a book written by the childrenC. a prize for the children D. a gift from parents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。EAB F-AC GAD Its normal to wake briefly during the night. 36 But if youre waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position.

One day, a man in rags begged from door to door along the street. With an old wallet in his hand, he was asking for a few coins to buy something to eat.
