It was perfect, as they were visiting the birthplace of my grandparents where Id always longed to go.The tour started off well in London. However, the next morning I began to feel unwell during the tour and was admitted to Warwick Hospital. On regaining consciousness two days later, I realized with horror that the tour had gone ahead, leaving me alone and barely able to function, surrounded by strangers thousands of kilometers away from my home in a country where no one can be contacted for help.As I stared across the room, another patient and her male visitor smiled. Introducing themselves as Sue and Roger, they said they had been told of my troubles, and offered to contact my relatives in Australia. Ten days later, I was discharged but was still too weak to travel. Sue and Roger suggested I stay at the Falcon Hotel. Each morning they came with magazines, books and special treats. I then spoke of a friend in New Zealand who also over the years had been to my home to listen, advise and assist whenever needed and I explained he was a famous retired surgeon in Auckland and I told them more information about him. Sue suddenly shouted “Don Martin!” Martin turned out to be Rogers stepbrother. We sat staring at each other surprisingly before shouting how this miracle had brought us together in a hospital when I was so much in need. How lucky I was!Ever since the bond between us has grown. We keep in contact and hope very much to meet again.24. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _.A. introduce the life of the author herselfB. praise the scenery of the UK and IrelandC. indicate the reason for the special tourD. express satisfaction with the tour firm25. What did the author realize after her consciousness?A. She was able to catch up with her tour group.B. She was surrounded with her tour companions.C. She was left where there was no way to contact.D. She was exposed to an absolutely strange world.26. What does the underlined sentence “I was discharged ” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. I had a successful operation there.B. I was permitted to leave hospital.C. I was urged to pay for the treatment.D. I failed to afford the medical fees.27. Which would probably be the best title for this passage?A. Timely and Generous HelpB. A Precious and Instructive LessonC. Friends in Ned from My Tour GroupD. Joy from An Unforgettable TourCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist（免疫学家）, encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.28. Why did the kings of France and England in the 16th century close bath houses?A. They lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. They thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in.C. They considered bathing as the cause of skin disease.D. They believed disease could be spread in public baths.29. Which of the following best describes Henry IVs attitude to bathing?A. Curious.B. Approving.C. Afraid.D. Uninterested.30. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By following the order of time.C. By making comparisons.D. By following the order of importance.31. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To call for attention to the danger of dirt.DSome bats sing just as birds and humans do. But how they learn their calls and melodies is a mysteryone that scientists will try to solve by researching the genes of more than 1,000 bat species.The project, called Bat 1K, was announced on 14, November at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California. Its organizers also hope to learn more about the flying mammals echolocation abilitythe ability to find directions in the dark; their strong immune systems that can defend against Ebola, a deadly virus; and their relatively long life spans.“The genomes of all these other species, like birds and mice, are well-understood,” says an expert at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. “But we dont know anything about bat genes yet.”Some bats show babbling behavior, including barks, chatter, screeches, whistles and trills, says Mirjam Knrnschild, a behavioral ecologist at the Free University of Berlin. Young bats learn the songs and other sounds from older male tutors. They use these sounds during courtship and mating, when they seek food and as they defend their territory（领地）against rivals.Scientists have studied the vocal sounds of only about 50 bat species so far, Knrnschild says, and they know much less about bats communication than birds. Four species of bat have so far been found to learn vocal sounds from each other, their fathers and other adult males, just as a child gradually learns how to speak from its parents.Genetic studies have discovered at least one gene in bats that is linked to speech and language, called FOXP2. The gene is also known to have a role in how people learn language, and in vocal learning in song-birds. Researchers working on the Bat 1K project expect to find that other genes are also involved in communication, and that many more bat species have the ability to learn songs, calls and other sounds. “Its not a rare trait,” Knrnschild says. “Im becoming convinced that all bats are more or less the same in vocal learning.”32. The project, Bat 1K is carried out mainly to _.A. do research on the genes of more bat speciesB. study the way bats learn their calls and songsC. learn more secrets about bats longer life spansD. research bats ability to find directions in the dark33. What can we infer from Para 5 and 6?A. Scientists have studied only approximately 50 bat species so far.B. Only four species of all bats learn vocal sounds from each other.C. More than one gene linked to speech and language has been discovered.D. The gene FOXP2 has something to do with human language learning.34. Which of the following is the word “trait” in Paragraph 6 closest to in meaning?A. Habit. B. Behavior.C. Quality.D. Gene.35. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Scientists seek keys to bats vocal sounds.B. Scientists try to know more about bat genes.C. Bats sing just as birds and human beings do.D. All bats are almost the same in vocal learning.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）The Lost Rules of Etiquette Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 36 Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared. Opening the Door In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 37 This has now almost entirely disappeared-and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义) Writing Thank-You Notes In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. 38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at. 39 We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. 40 After all, a party normally has a guest of honor .This is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.A. Arriving on Time.B. Leaving at the Right Time.C. People leave with various excuses.D. It enabled people to get on well、with each other.E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.G. Weve thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）I grew up believing Sahara Desert to be a faraway paradise of charm and freedom.
