travel journal. b. a news report. c. an exhibition review. d. an advertisement.bi wish there would be a way to describe china in simple terms but thats impossible. for the most part chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. they are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest working people i have ever met.in china, family is everything. in my english classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. i teach many students a year, talking to them freely.the cost of living here is very low compared with that of the us. the city of huarong i live in isnt large and i live better. non-imported(非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. the cost of public transportation is very low, too. chinese value education. however, it is reported that many children cant afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in china. but they organized project hope many years ago. it creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. in my opinion, project hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.when we read news of china in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes china has gone through. while it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of china, but we also have the same problems.when i am asked which country i consider better, china or the us, my answer has always been the same, “we are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”24. what does the author think of chinese people?a. he thinks most chinese people hardly work.b. he praises most chinese people a lot.c. he thinks most chinese people are proud.d. he dislikes most chinese people.25. what is the author doing in china?a. he is visiting the places of interest. b. he is teaching english in a school.c. he is studying in a college. d. he is on business.26. what are not cheap in china in the authors opinion?a. imported foods. b. local foods.c. public transportation tickets. d. clothes and shoes made in china.27. we can infer from the passage that the author thinks _.a. the progress of china is seldom reported in the usb. chinas economic miracles have appeared everywherec. the westerners have got to know china welld. the education in rural areas is never cared about in chinacshyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am i making? do they like me? do i sound stupid? am i wearing unattractive clothes?it is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. a persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. in general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. they need faith that they are doing the right thing. shy people are very sensitive to criticism. it makes them feel inferior. they also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. a shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: youre just saying that to make me feel good, i know its not true.” it is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. each one of us has his or her own characteristics. we are interested in our own personal ways. the better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.28. the first paragraph is mainly about_.a. the cause of shyness b. the feelings of shy peoplec. the effect of shyness on people d. the questions in the minds of shy people29. what is the shy peoples reaction to praise?a. they are pleased by it. b. they feel it is not true. c. they are very sensitive to it. d. they feel they are worthy of it.30. according to the writer, self-awareness is_.a. harmful to people b. a weak point of shy peoplec. the cause of unhappiness d. a good characteristic31. we can learn from the passage that shyness can _.a. block our chances for a successful life b. help us to live up to our full developmentc. enable us to understand ourselves better d. have nothing to do with lack of self respectdobama, lady gaga and steve jobswhat do they have in common? they are, of course, all americans. and according to a survey by social networking site baidu. com, they all best illustrate(举例说明) the word “cool”. but just what does it mean to say someone is “cool”? most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd. yale university art professor robert farris thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century west african philosophy. “cool” relates to ideas of grace under pressure. “in africa, ” he writes, “coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.” the modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the us in the period after world war ii. “post-war cool was in part an expression of war-weariness (厌战情绪), it went against the strict social rules of the time,” write sociologists dick pountain and david robins in cool rules: anatomy of an attitude. but it was the american actor james dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie rebel without a cause. dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. he always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies. in the movie, dean showed what “cool” would mean to american young people for the next 60 years. today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics (体育运动) stars. often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. this can be seen quite clearly in movies like varsity blues and john tucker must die. but many teenagers also think being smart is cool. chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools. “call it the harry potterization of americaa time when being smart is the new cool,” writes journalist joe sunnen.32. if you were considered “cool” in africa in the 15th century, you_. a. thought and acted differently from the majority b. didnt observe rules and authoritiesc. had a calm and quiet attitude towards life d. had all kinds of “bad” manners33. the heroes in varsity blues and john tucker must die are likely to be those who _. a. do very well in their studiesb. are good at chess and other thinking games.c. are very skilled at sportsd. have supernatural powers like harry potter34. which of the following is not true according to the article?a. it is generally considered “cool” to be independent-minded and not to follow the crowd. b. “cool” was used as early as the 15th century. c. disobeying ones parents and the authorities is considered “cool” among american young people nowadays. d. getting the first place in an exam can also be considered “cool”. 35. what does the article mainly talk about? a. the changing meaning of the word “cool”. b. the kinds of people who are “cool”. c. the origin of the word “cool”. d. how to be a “cool” person.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。 in so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. some people ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. 36_ still others look for friendship, or even love.unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. _37 so even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.usually, this “faceless” communication doesnt create problems. identity doesnt really matter when youre in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. in fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the internet a great place for exciting conversation _38_but some internet users want more than just someone to chat with. _39 is cyberspace a good place to find love? that answer depends on whom you ask. 40 _ others fail miserably. a. where else can so many people come together to chat?b. instead, a persons thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really matters.c. others buy and sell products.d. theyre looking for serious love relationships.e. but cyberspace is different from the real world in some aspects.f. some of these relationships actually succeed.g. chatting online isnt always reliable.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。we
