Washington D.C. is wonderful at this time of year. I would like you to come to my place and meet my people at the end of your journey. You cant leave America without visiting New York. My brothers hobby, as you know, is taking pictures. He has a big album(相册)of pictures of the United States and of New York. Im sending some of them to you. When you look at them youll understand why New York is a city of islands. In fact it lies on three big islands: Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island. There are many small islands in the city. The most expensive part of New York is Manhattan. This island is famous for its skyscrapers(摩天大楼).Broadway is a famous street in New York. It is known for its theatres and you can see wonderful shows there. There are many museums and art galleries(画廊)in New York. Pupils often visit museums and have their art classes there. School children often visit the Bronx Zoo. It is the largest of the New York City zoos. It opened in 1899 and since then has always been a favorite place for animal lovers and children. In 1789, New York became the first capital of the United States of America but it remained the capital for only one year. Now, as Im sure you know, Washington, D.C. is the capital of the country.50. The underlined word “them” in Para.2refers to_. A. cards B. albums C. pictures D. letters51. From the passage we know that_. A. Manhattan is known for its skyscrapers B. New York is famous for its wonderful shows C. the Bronx Zoo has the longest history among the zoos in America. D. New York contains three islands in total52. We can infer that the text is probably_.A. an advertisementB. a letterC. a travel journalD. a geography report53. The writer writes this passage to _. A. persuade his friend to visit New York B. introduce Washington D.C. in America C. describe three islands in New York D. show his brothers album C Some people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know, someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. I dont think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member. My hero is younger than me, but we are related. His name is Marcus. He is my cousin. He isnt necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day, but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life. I am now in 11th grade. When I was in 8th grade, Marcus had a brain tumor (脑瘤) which had to be removed. Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的). When the doctors removed it Marcus lost his sight. He felt down only once. Ever since then, he has been an extremely happy second-grader. He is very typical of a nine-year-old. He likes to tell jokes, play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people, just like children at his age. I love spending time with him. We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him every chance I get. I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life. He doesnt have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. I can do everything I need to. If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy, then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.54. It can be inferred that the author has_. A. the same idea about heroes as others B. a different idea about heroes from others C. the idea that a hero must be older D. the idea that a hero must be a close friend55. Why does the author consider his cousin as a hero? A. Because his cousin is a very wise person. B. Because his cousin does great things every day. C. Because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life. D. Because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.56. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Marcus looks older than his age. B. Marcus isnt nine years old at all. C. Marcus is different from the other students. D. Marcus is the same as the other children at his age.57. What makes the author think himself lucky? A. Marcus simple life. B. Marcus serious illness. C. Marcus blindness. D. Marcus recovery.D Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1. 000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite. But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself. Hot pot isnt just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; its also a social experience. Its a theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot. Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often, considered an evenings entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions （份额）, although the experience is still a social one. A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want. For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre（古怪的）. But having given hot pot a time, I find its now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience. When the chilly （刺骨的） wind is blowing outside, just grab some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in. For me its like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds（味蕾）and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends. 58. According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because _. A. it is a fun social experience B. it has been developing for over 1,000 yearsC. it involves many unique ingredients D. it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative59. We can conclude from the article that generally British people _.A. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot potB. find it interesting to cook their own food in restaurantsC. dont like sharing food with othersD. dont mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner60. What is the tone of the article?A. Appreciative B. Longing C. Humorous. D. Serious. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。A.ActB.Accept YourselfC.Maintain a DiaryD.Reflect on the PastE.Focus on Yourself F. Give Yourself a break. How to Find YourselfDo you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody elses life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.61. _ If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everythingwork, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.62. For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didnt have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didnt have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, then think, what you would want others to describe you asan honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.63. Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Th
