everything. none of us had ever worked in a hotel before, but my dad was sure of what guests would like to see.for a month that summer, i served as a waitress at breakfast and dinner, which gave me the middle of the day free for studying. like all the others, i did what the rules said and treated the guests as if they were special visitors in my own home.i soon learned how to deal with the most daunting person in the kitchen: the cook, gordon. he had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason. i avoided him as much as possible and always took the dishes with a cold expression on my face which was turned into a sweet smile in the space between kitchen and dining room.breakfast waitressing was, i found, more enjoyable than the dinner service. the guests came wandering into the dining room, looking with joy at the view of the sea and islands through the dining room window. it was funny how differently people behaved in the evenings, dressed up and talking with louder, colder voices, not always returning my smile. however, that all changed when dad created a special role for me.it began with a few common cakes for the guests packed lunches and progressed to fancy cakes for afternoon teas. this led to the climax: a nightly show known as lucys sweet trolley. every evening, i carried the most amazing collection of cakes and other desserts. most were things i had invented myself and i had cooked all of them. some jacobit grenades, mocha genghis khan and goats milk bavarios to name a few were really strange. it was dads idea that i should dress smartly and stop at each table and repeat the name of each dish.21. what did the people working at the hotel have in common? a. they all understood the guests expectations. b. they all studied at the middle of the day. c. they all had enough experience. d. they all followed the rules.22. what does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3 mean? a. carefulb. nervousc. interestingd. frightening23. why did

beginning of a new day.24. what was special about the food on lucys sweet trolley? a. it was based on traditional dishes. b. it contained a number of new creations. c. it was made following her fathers instructions. d. it was prepared along with the food for lunches.b i was a bit of a bookworm as a child. for every car journey, day trip or family holiday, many books were always packed to keep me busy. since then, ive continued reading all kinds of books but ill always love my childhood favorites. the curious incident of the dog in the night-timemark haddon this childrens mystery novel

to feel at home. the first consideration when buying plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.a general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not in strong sunlight.plants love company. when plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of wet around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions. a group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement. there is no secret to this. just rely on your natural feeling for harmony. watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood, but, again, if you follow a few simple rules, your plants should do well. cold water direct from the tap can have a frightening effect on the roots of delicate(易碎的) plants. slightly warm water is therefore the answer. it is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom. avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals(间隔)- it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.most of indoor plants will be in active growth from march until october, and during this time, the established ones will benefit from regular feeding. this may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. it is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive, when the soil in the pot is dry, or too soon after the plants has been potted up.28. in paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us to_. a. buy plants that help clean indoor air b. create a new environment with plants c. put plants on the sunny side of the roomd. make sure of suitable conditions for plants29. whats the benefit of plants growing together? a. it provides owners good company.b. it helps the air around them slightly wet. c. it makes it convenient to look after them.d. it allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.30. while watering the plants, what should we remember to do? a. use water that is a little warm.b. pour the water into the pot holder. c. give small amount of water at one time.d. consider further watering in dry weather.21. what is the best time to feed the plants? a. when the soil is dry.b. when their growth is active. c. when the temperature is high.d. when they have just been planted.d the mystery of why humans are the only animals to have chins(下巴) may have been solved by scientists who suggest that it is connected to the invention of cooking. a paper from the university of florida tries to explain exactly why humans unlike all other primates have chins. a team led by dr. james pampush collected information from more than 100 kinds of primate and compared it with historical information. computer modelling found how the chin developed. random genetic(基因的) change was ruled out because the chin developed 77 times faster than the average genetic change. and the study finds no evidence that it served a useful purpose. the research, published in the journal of human evolution, suggests the chin is a by-product of another event. in this case, the event could well be the invention of cooking. “the chin began to appear as a result of major changes six million years earlier. the arrival of cooking and softer food meant humans no longer needed big teeth and powerful jaws, and over the next two million years to 200,000 years both got smaller and the chin was born,” said dr. pampush. “my guess is that it most likely happened around two million years ago when there was a jump in brain size. the changes which finally lead to the chin are directly related to cooking, and indirectly related to larger brains and bodies.” dr. pampushs new theory goes against previous suggestions that the chin was an example of sexual selection, with attractive chins marking out men who are likely to make good mates. the fact that both men and women have chins means the theory is unlikely. another theory put forward in the past said that the chin was a way to balance out the stress of chewing(咀嚼), but dr. pampush also threw doubt on that idea.32. the reason why we have chins _.a. is connected to humans action of chewingb. has something to do with cookingc. is random genetic changed. is related to eating time.33. how did the researchers get their result?a. by carrying out experiments.b. by studying scientific theories.c. by examining the human brain.d. by comparing recorded information.34. before developing chins, humans _.a. had bigger teethb. cooked softer foodc. had smaller jawsd. had larger bodies35. according to dr. pampush, the chin most probably appeared around _.a. 6 million years ago.b. 4 million years agoc. 2 million years agod. 0.2 million years ago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，其余两项为多余选项。how to stay focused if you are among those who easily get distracted(分心的) and are unable to make your way back to studies, the following simple study tips may help you stay focused. set study goals. first things first. start with the basics and set your study goals. ask yourself why you are here, at university, possibly (like me) having travelled across the country for this opportunity. having fun is certainly one answer, but not the primary one. 36 make a study timetable. once you know what you want, the next step is to prepare a weekly study timetable. your timetable could include the time you should go to bed, the time you should have your meals, and, most importantly, the time you should spend on studies. there is no hard and fast(非遵守不可的) rule. 37 but please try to stick to your study timetable as best as you can.38 i am not asking you to give up all your social activities. 39 if someone is asking you to go with them to hang out at the mall when you know you should be studying, tell them youre busy and let them know when would be a better time. stay focused on your priorities(优先的事)40 no one else is going to stop you from doing what you want, but youre the one who will face the consequences if you fail to meet your goals. remember you are at school for a reason, and if that reason is lost nothing else will fit well in the equation.a. learn to say no.b. self-help is the key here.c. but you have to take some brave steps.d. knowing your aims completes half the job.e. remove anything that can distract you from your work.f. you will find youre feeling more confident about your studies.g. you should of course allow some flexibility depending on how things go.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
