I am not going to ask this. I respect my fathers wishes too much.”His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw (退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish,not mine.”“Mine?” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?”“A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. “There is a change in me.” His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.“What change?” he asked, trying to appear calm.“When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will youforgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“I wish you to understand”, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things,” he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,” she added quietly.“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,” he said.25. How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A. Angry.B. Calm.C. Nervous.D. Excited.26. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Laura had once promised to marry PercivalB. Lauras father wished to end her marriageC. Percival had been married to Laura for two yearsD. Percival asked to be released from the marriage27. The passage is probably taken out of_.A. a novel B. a report C. a diary D. a biography (传记)(C)Whenever we see a button (按钮), we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts“close” buttons are a plete scam, at least in the USthe doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons arent pletely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “Having a lack of control is associated with depression.”Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said, Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, Ive got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”28. What was the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.B. To analyze(分析) the functions (作用) of fake buttons.C. To explore people different habits when it es to pushing buttons.D. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.29. What does the underlined word “scam” mean?A. Trick.B. Tool.C. Button.D. Joke.30. According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons _.A. dont know that what they press is fake B. should give up this habitC. consider what they do to be meaningless D. probably do so to kill time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。Could you imagine what it would be like if there were no other ways to get around except by using your feet?

Although 56 was impossible to count the exact number, at least 5,000 people visited it each day.This narrow lane, 57 (call) Liuchi Lane in Chinese, won greater popularity after the story behind it was broadcast on a CCTV show.

In the early Qing Dynasty it served 60 the boundary (边界) between Zhang family and Wu family. They quarreled 61 (fierce) over which family had the right to build a wall on the dividing line. After 62 (fail) to make a promise, the Zhangs turned to Zhang Ying, a family member of Zhangs and also a top official in the emperors court. To 63 (they) surprise, Zhang Ying did not provide the support they needed. He called for his family to step back 1 meter from the boundary. Seeing that, the Wus 64 (agree) to move back another meter, thus Liuchi lane was born.In reality, the story of Liuchi Lane is not only about how to get along with others, 65 also a guideline for all the officials in China.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分)假如你是李华，你的朋友Tom原计划暑假来你所在的城市旅游，为此你提前为他在一家酒店预定了一个房间，但他来电说因故要推迟一周。请你给美籍酒店负责人写一封电子邮件，内容包括：1. 表示歉意；2. 说明情况；3. 改订日期。注意: 1. 词数80左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节, 以使行文连贯。Dear Sir or Madam,I booked a room in your hotel for my friend Tom yesterday. _I am looking forward to your early reply.Yours sincerely,Li Hua第二节 概要写作 (满分25分)阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, its better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done.The main reason that convinces us to be against doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrong in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they cant make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste.” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly.Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives.Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises
