阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节 （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。ait was on the early afternoon of a mid-october day in 2012. bismark mensah, who came to america several months ago, was collecting carts (手推车) outside a walmart in federal way. it was a part-time job for him. he earned $9.05 an hour in charge of getting carts out of the parking lot.he was used to finding stuff in carts that customers had somehow forgotten keys, credit cards, wallets. and he turned them into a customer service. but a particular item stood out. it was a white envelope with a clear window in the middle, and there was a lot of cash in it, around $20,000. mensah turned them into customer services.because of what he did that afternoon, mensah is now the winner of walmarts national 2013 “integrity(正直) in action award”.bismark mensah says that since the story ran, he has become the model the youth in ghana (his native country).he is now employed full-time at the federal way walmart, earning $10.95 an hour, up from the $9.05 an hour he earned working part-time.mensah, 33, no longer collects carts and such. he is in the backroom, dealing with inventory(库存). “i want to learn everything about operating a store like walmart store,” he says. he plans to return to ghana to run some shops owned by his family. he also plans to go to college and earn a degree in business administration.21. what does mensah do in walmart now? a. collect carts. b. deal with inventory. c. checks out the groceries. d. ensures walmarts security.22. whats mensahs future plan? a. to teach in college. b. to run his own shops. c. to earn a degree in arts. d. to work in a big factory.23. what can be inferred from the passage? a. mensah comes from a poor family in ghana. b. mensah can hardly make himself understood in america.c. mensah will help set up some walmart branches in ghana. d. mensah has set an example for the youth in his own country.24. what lesson can we learn from the story of mensah? a. its never too late to learn. b. dont judge by appearance. c. honesty is a valuable quality. d. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.bsince the invention of guitar hero and similar computer games, it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the beatlesyou can come together with them in the virtual world.bill wyman, former bass player(贝斯手) in the rolling stones, has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. my own opinion suggest quite opposite.last year, i bought guitar hero for our 14-year-old son, jack. jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.a few months later, while i was away on tour, a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. playing guitar hero had taught them how to play along the track. now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. jacks friends taught him how to play along to his favorite songs using just his index finger (食指)on the bass string. he got it right away.guitar hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar playershow to strum(拨弄) the strings with one hand while making chord(和弦) shapes with the other. he never plays guitar hero now, preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument, it was guitar hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognizable sound the first time he played it.so lets not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and, in our sons case, gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.25. whats bill wymans attitude towards music video games? a. curiousb. approving.c. negative.d. unconcerned.26. which statement is true about jacks first playing with a real electric guitar? a. he did it successfully. b. he taught his friends how to play. c. he didnt know how to play along to a song. d. he didnt know how to strum the instruments.27. what can we infer from jacks case? a. parents should encourage their kids. b. computer games are harmful to kids. c. kids should learn an instrument. d. guitar hero is a useful game.28. whats the best title for the text? a. a new computer gameb. the story of a guitarist c. in defense of guitar hero d. the best way to play guitarci first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in boone, n.c., where i ate at f.a.r.m (feed all regardless of means) caf. you can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpaypaying it forward for a future customers meal. my only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. so as soon as healthy world caf opened in york in april, i signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).f.a.r.m and healthy world are part of a growing trend of community cafs. in 2003, denise cerreta opened the first in salt lake city. cerreta now runs the one world everybody eats foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.“i think the community caf is truly a hand up, not a handout,” cerreta said. she acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically dont feel good about going there.“one of the values of the community caf is that we have another approach,” she said. “everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”the successful cafs not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood whether its a place to learn skills or hear live music. some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.my 10 am-1pm shift at world-healthy-caf began with the caf manager one of the two paid staff members. our volunteer crew wasnt the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. at the end of my shift, i ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. after lunch, i walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.29. what did the author do at f.a.r.m caf last summer?a. she enjoyed a meal.b. she ate free of charge.c. she overpaid for the food.d. she worked as a volunteer.30. what is the advantage of community cafs compared with soup kitchens?a. people can have free food.b. people can maintain their dignity.c. people can stay as long as they like.d. people can find their places in society.31. why are community cafs becoming popular in the neighborhoods?a. they bring people true friendships.b. they help to bring people together.c. they create a lot of job opportunities.d. they support local economic development.32. how did the author feel about working at healthy world caf?a. it paid well.b. it changed her.c. it was beneficial.d. it was easy for her.dmost people dont notice im polite, which is the point. i am big and look less energetic. still, every year or so, someone takes me aside and says, “you actually are polite, arent you?” im always thrilled. they noticed. thats the thing. actually, when we talk about politeness, we usually think of please; thank you; i like your hat; etc. all we need to do is to hear, not to notice.when i was in high school, i read etiquette manuals(礼仪手册). no one noticed my politeness except for one kid. he yelled at me about it. “its strange that you are always so polite,” he said. i took that as praise and made a note to hide my politeness further. real politeness, i believed, was invisible(看不见的). it adapted itself to the situation.politeness leaves door open. ive met so many people whom, if i had trusted my first impressions, i would never have wanted to meet again. yet many of them are now great friends. one of those people is my wife. on our first date, she told me in detail that she had an operation to remove a cyst(囊肿)from her body. of course, it killed the chemistry. but when i walked her home, i told her id had a great time. we talked a little after that. i kept everything pleasant and brief. much later, i learned that shed been having a very bad day in a very bad year. people silently suffer from all kinds of terrible things. the good thing about politeness is you can regard these people exactly the same and wait to see what happens. you dont have to have an opinion. you dont need to make a judgment.last week, my two-year-old son, abraham met a foreign woman in the playground. out of curiosity, i suppose, he asked, “whats your name?” the woman told him. then he put out his little hand and said, “nice to meet you!” everyone laughed and he smiled. he shared with his firmest handshake, like i taught him.33. why do many people think the author is impolite?a. because he doesnt look polite.b. because he seldom says polite words.c. because he doesnt listen to others politely.d. because he doesnt behave politely towards strangers.34. what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? a. the authors good mangers.b. the authors strange behavior. c. the author always making notes.d. the author reading etiquette manuals.35. what can we learn about politeness according to paragraph 3? a. it can help people make friends. b. it can keep everything pleasant. c. it can be good for peoples health. d. it can give people second chances.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。the guy who tried to edit englishthe english vocabulary is not only huge, it is also full of words that mean practically the same thing. get, obtain, acquire. shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. 36 that was the thinking of a british writer named c.k. ogden, who in the 1930s promoted a new form of english with a vocabulary of just 850 words. he called the project basic english. 37 ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation. the words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 38 because any verbal (动词的) idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators” words like come, go, take, have, make, be and do ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. in basic english, eat is “have a meal” and forget is “go from memory.”winston churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak english, and he encouraged the bbc to use it. 39 roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that churchills famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears and sweat” to his country wouldnt have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the british people only blood, work, eye water and face water, which i understand is the best that basic english can do with five famous words.” 40 churchill didnt use it either. when seeking to express ourselves, we dont necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. so its our benefit to have a large supply of words on hand. a. do we really need them all?b. how many words are there in english?c. ogden himself didnt actually use basic english.d. plenty of seeming basic words did not make the list at all.e. he also tried to persuade president franklin roosevelt to promote it.f. he believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.g. despite attention from world leaders, basic english never got as far as expected.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，掌握其 大意，从短文后所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。many sports players have not only accomplished incredible acts of
