(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中, 选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑amore and more pupils are giving teachers presents, but the practice only creates insecurity in parents and staff.ive certainly noticed some pupils being feverishly overgenerous of late. last year, i received not one bottle of wine but four for helping a disaffected pupil through his gcses. by and large, my colleagues report the gifts differing along gender lines. gentlemen get ties, mugs, booze and, if theyre really lucky, tickets to football matches. the ladies are often presented with flowers, jewels, chocolates and so on.when my son was at private school, i noticed there was a real competitiveness between the students about giving presents to teachers, with expensive baskets from fancy stores and huge bouquets being handed out on the last days of term. since my wife and i only let my son give thank-you cards, it was clear we were not “classy”. now he is at an inner-city primary, weve noticed that this kind of nonsense seems to have more or less disappearedfor one thing, there isnt that kind of money floating around but there isnt that kind of competitive culture either.personally, i think gifts to teachers should be banned beyond the thank-you card they cause many more problems than they solve, creating insecurity in both parents and staff. perhaps the recession and the lack of money in peoples pockets might be a good excuse for the government to issue some guidelines to schools that gifts shouldnt be accepted by teachers.the gifts that i really value are the cards which say a genuine thank you. i still keep them in a file at home.21what can the author most probably be?aa teacher. ba school nurse.ca researcher. da gift shop owner.22the underlined word “nonsense” in paragraph 3 refers to the fact that _.athe son only gives thank-you cards to teachersbthe author and his wife are not classycthe son goes to an inner-city primarydthe students give gifts to teachers23to solve the problem, the author thinks its a good way to _.aforbid the students to give any gifts to teachersbcreate insecurity by giving thank-you cardscmake people have less money in pocketsdissue some guidelines by the government24which of the following can be the best title?adont forget to give gifts to your teachersbpresents wont make pupils teachers petsclearn the competitive culture of giftsdrefuse presents from your studentsbmany of us are used to hearing stories of people being pickpocketed in busy places. but most of us are aware of the dangers, so we are safe at least, we think we are.according to a bbc report, a growing number of thieves are trying to “hack (侵入) our minds weaknesses” to get their hands on our possessions.“in fact, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket isnt having quick fingers,” said the report. by using psychology, some pickpockets are taking advantage of the loopholes(漏洞) in our brains.our lack of ability to multitask is one of the most important loopholes used by pickpockets, the report explains. while this can often be a good trait(特点), allowing us to focus on the most important details in our surroundings, “a good trickster can use it against you, ” said neuroscientist auzana martinez-conde. “its all about directing peoples attention toward something else,” said james brown, who studies the tricks of pickpocketing. confidence, the power of suggestion, and certain hand movements such as moving your hands in an arc (弧形) are all said to be things that fool us.groups of pickpockets use a common trick designed to create a scene and confuse victims.the first gang member, a “blocker”, walks in front of the victim and suddenly bumps into them. a second member of the gang then bumps into both of them from behind and stages an argument with the “blocker”. in the confusion, both men steal what they can and pass it to a third thief who quickly runs off with the stolen goods.some thieves go even further to exploit our psychology by hanging out near signs reading “beware of pickpockets”. since this is one of the last places people expect to be robbed, many check where their valuables are, giving away their location to thieves.but according to brown, as long as we dont daydream in public, we shouldnt be worried.“a street thief will avoid like the plague(瘟疫)” people who are demonstrating（展现）a very open awareness of their environment,” he said.25according to the bbc report, the main strategy of a successful pickpocket is_.a. to distract victims b. to give themselves multiple tasks to do c. to focus on the most important details d. to use swift hand movements 26when groups of pickpockets use their common trick, _.a. it is the third thiefs task to steal what they can from the victim b. the victim usually doesnt dare to argue with them c. the victim usually gets confused and lets down his or her guard d. two members bump into the victim from different directions at the same time27why do some thieves hang out near signs saying things like “beware of pickpocketers”?a. they think it is more thrilling to steal in those areas. b. normally there are no police officers around. c. they dont know common peoples psychology.d. they have a better chance of locating peoples valuables there.28according to james brown, which of the following types of person is more likely to be pickpocketed?a. people who look weak. b. people who are walking slowly. c. people who are absent-minded. d. people who are alert to their surroundingscwhether its joining a school club, going to a friends birthday party, or travelling by train, we can meet new people anywhere and anytime in our lives. however, many of us feel awkward when meeting people for the first time, especially when we arent quite sure what to say. the situation feels cold, even icy.“breaking the ice” is a term widely used in the english-speaking countries to describe a small talk technique that can help rescue a conversation from certain failure.so where do you even begin? well, a good start is to accept that it is perfectly normal to feel a little nervous when talking to someone for the first time. they might look grumpy or scary, but they could turn out to be the nicest person youve ever met.you might think that breaking the ice is difficult. but sometimes just a simple “hello”, followed by a three-second smile, can make all the difference.complimenting someone on their garment or accessories(饰品) is also a great, easy way to break the ice. you might say: “i love your jacket. where did you buy it from？”being in an uncomfortable or unpleasant situation with someone new might feel terrible, but it can actually be one of the best icebreakers. by focusing on the situation, you come together to fight the common enemy: the long bathroom queue, for example, or the overcrowded bus.you can make observations too. “what kind of drink is that?” “thats a lovely name. what does it mean?” “do you study here too?” there are opportunities all around you to ask questions that dont seem weird, as long as you have some follow-up questions in mind.if youre feeling extra bold, make a joke. jokes can be difficult to master but if you get them right, they show the likeable, witty side of your character. “whats your name?” “well, people usually call me mike, but you can call me tonight.”29. which is the best title for the passage? a. how to develop friendship with a strangerb. advice on breaking the ice when we communicate with a strangerc. how to become a successful public speaker d. how to start a conversation with a person30. the underlined word “grumpy” can be replaced by_. a. easily annoyed b. gentle c. low-spirited d. cheerful31. what can we learn from the passage? a. “breaking the ice” is a small talk technique widely used in our daily communication all over the world. b. as long as you can smile at others, you will make some friends. c. realizing that its normal to feel nervous in front of a stranger is a good start to break the ice. d. being in an uncomfortable situation with some strangers can be the best icebreakers.32. according to the passage, making a joke_. a. can be done with ease. b. leads to many new friends. c. can show your wisdom and lovely character.d. makes you enjoy your life happily. d if you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and its not just overcrowded subway trains.vicky zhao is a mainlander working in hong kong. for her, one thing she cant put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator（自动扶梯）in subway stations. “escalators help us move faster and save time. it isnt a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “i often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. it annoys me to no end.”admitting she is not the patient type, zhao says things are much better in hong kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.the logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette（礼仪）seems obvious. even though you may want to catch your breath while youre transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.many cities escalators, including londons and beijings, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people.（australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.）but some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. in hong kongs subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.but the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. the bbc quotes one stander as saying：“if the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? even when the escalator is packed and theres nowhere to move, i see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, dont stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.33in the second paragraph, the underlined word it refers _.athe authors living in the big city of hong kongbbeing crowded on the subway trains m rush hourscpeoples blocking the way or chat on the escalatorsdpeoples standing on the right side resting34what can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?anot everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.bthe bbc is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.cpeople should be patient and take the stairs if possible.dpeople shouldnt complain about the crowded escalators.35which of the following statements is the writers opinion?apeople should stand right no matter where they are.bpeople should do as the romans do and consider others.cpeople should do as they like on the escalators.dpeople. should be seriously critisized when they block the way.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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 schools are never perfect and not all teachers are perfect, either. if you meet a difficult teacher, or if you cant get along with a
