The question is: Will anybody care?Although it hasnt sold a new car in Canada since 1995, the Alfa Romeo brand is one of the oldest in the car industry. It was founded in 1910. It quickly became well-known for making fast, beautiful and expensive sports cars. An Italian state-holding company took over in the early 1930s, but since 1986, the Alfa brand has been owned by Fiat.Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo met fresh competition from Japan. By the mid-1990s, Alfas lone North American offerings were the Spider roadster (单排座敞篷轿车).Many Alfa fans will tell you the brands success is on the racetracks (赛车场). Dating back to 1913, Alfa Romeo has always had a strong factory presence in racing. But since the late-1980s the Italian automaker has become less involved in car races.While Alfa Romeo has shot a few videos of its new mid-engine, two-seat 4C on a racetrack, there are no plans for the car maker to get back into racing.One of the biggest attractions for Toronto Alfa Romeo fan Vytas Svedas is the brands racing past. He currently takes part in many races with his father with a 1966 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT, and he thinks if Alfa wants to be taken seriously as it returns to selling cars in Canada, it has to get back on the racetrack.Of course, not all Alfa fans need a racetrack to enjoy their cars. David Semel is the president of the Alfa Romeo Club of Ottawa. Semels current ride is a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia SS. And, he admits, the main attraction of the Giulia SS is the way the car looks, not how fast it can go.24. What do we know about Alfa Romeo?A. It is quite affordable for the common people.B. It is a brand of a state-holding company.C. It has a history of about a century.D. It entered Canada in 1995.25. Why did Alfa Romeo lose its Canadian market?A. Because the Canadians lost interest in sports cars.B. Because there were fewer car races held in Canada.C. Because it faced very strong competition from Japan.D. Because its quality couldnt meet the local buyers needs.26. Whats Vytas Svedass attitude towards Alfa Romeos not getting back into racing?A. Understanding. B. Unconcerned. C. Pleased. D. Disappointed.27. According to David Semel, Alfa Romeo _.A. will return to racing sooner or later B. has other advantages besides speed C. is not necessarily the fastest car D. is losing lots of its fansCTheGolden GateBridgewas the longest bridge in the world from 1937 when it was completed until theVerrazanoNarrowsBridgewas built inNew Yorkin 1964. Today, it is still the ninth longest bridge in the world.For many years before theGolden GateBridgewas built, the only way to get acrossSan FranciscoBaywas by ship. And by the early twentieth century the Bay was crowded because of them. In the 1920s, engineer and bridge-builder Joseph Strauss believed that a bridge should be built across theGolden Gateto solve the problem.Many groups went against him, each for their own selfish reasons. Besides, the engineering challenge was also hugethe Golden Gate Bridge area often has winds of up to 60 miles per hour, and strong ocean currents (洋流) sweep below the surface. If all that werent enough, it was the middle of the Great Depression, and funds were hard to find.Strauss didnt give up, and the Golden Gate Bridge history began when San Francisco officials approved (批准) $35 million to build the Golden Gate Bridge. After the artistic design and red color were chosen, construction (建造) work began in 1933. TheGolden GateBridgeproject was completed in 1937, an important date inSan Franciscohistory.Strauss was a pioneer in building safety. TheBayBridge, which was being built at the same time cost 24 lives while theGolden GateBridgecost only 12, a great achievement in a period of time when one man was killed on most construction projects for every million spent.28. What do we know about theGolden GateBridge?A. It remained the worlds longest bridge for 30 years.B. It was the widest bridge worldwide when completed.C. It is of the same age as theVerrazanoNarrowsBridge.D. There are only 8 bridges worldwide longer than it now.29. Why did Strauss want to build theGolden GateBridge?A. To prove his artistic ability.B. To build the worlds longest bridge.C. To solve traffic jams atSan FranciscoBay.D. To make crossingSan FranciscoBay possible.30. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The necessity for building the bridge.B. The hard time of the Great Depression.C. The bad weather in theGolden GateBridgearea.D. The difficulties in building theGolden GateBridge.31. Which of the following words can best describe Strauss?A. Honest.B. Patient.C. Warm-hearted. D. Strong-minded.DMy beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining (走得快). But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up (上发条) and it stopped running. The next day I stepped into the jewelers to set it by the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me. Then he said,“She is four minutes slowregulator (调节器) wants pushing up.”I tried to stop himtried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time. But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.My watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated. He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating. After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree. I began to miss trains and my dinner.At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker. He said the kingbolt was broken. To tell the truth, I had no idea what the kingbolt was. He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another. It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker. While I waited and looked on I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance (熟人)a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.“She makes too much steam and .” he said.I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it. And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths; but nobody could ever tell him.32. What did the author say about the jeweler?A. He made a mistake.B. He had a quick mind.C. He had a hearing problem.D. He was a quiet repairman.33. After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, the authors watch _.A. kept perfect timeB. gained faster and fasterC. was unbelievably slowD. ran awhile and stopped awhile34. Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head?A. He was a liar.B. He was talking nonsense.C. He treated the watch cruelly.D. He was an old enemy of the author.35. What did the author learn from his experience?A. Never get a watch repaired.B. He should listen to his uncle.C. Repair work was not an easy job.D. Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Four most important eye expressionsThe language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal (非语言的) communication. 36 Here are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.1. Smiling eyesResearchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles (出现皱纹). But a social, polite smile touches only our lips (嘴唇). 37 For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something. 2. 38 People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then? Anything from shyness to nervousness.3. Friendly eyesWhen you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him: 39 This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.4. “Shut” eyesCovering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “No problem.” 40 .A. Shy eyesB. Empty eyesC. Such behavior is seen with liars.D. You are paying attention to the talk.E. The smile you are given is not in the eyes.F. What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all.G. So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes.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。During a mid-autumn holiday with my family at a fishing spot, I witnessed a fish being41, hopping (跳跃) out of the waters surface, making every effort to42.I could see that the fisher was an expert43he decided to44it struggling (挣扎) in the water so as to work off its45.
