(you should put them on your plate with fingers.)dont use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.dont talk with much food in your mouth.dont ask others to have more wine. (this is quite different from that in china.)after dinner, use your napkin(餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. and your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.21. where are you most likely to have the

money for a long time. some africans once used elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt as money.the first metal coins were made in china. they were round and had a square hole in the center. different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. later, some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.but even gold and silver were inconvenient(不方便) if you had to buy something expensive. again the chinese thought of a way to improve money. they began to use paper money. the first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money

and found i didnt have much to offer. i just accepted that i wasnt the type to have a career. i then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. it wasnt too bad at first. but the problems began when i agreed to live in, so that i would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. we agreed that if i had to work extra hours one week, shed give me time off the next. but unfortunately, it didnt often work out. i was getting extremely tired and fed up, because i had too many late nights and early mornings with the children. one sunday, i was in the park with the children, and met megan who used to go to school with me. i told her about my situation. she suggested that i should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书) if i wanted to work with children. i didnt think i would be accepted because i didnt take many exams in school. she persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. my experience counted for a lot and i got on a part-time course. i had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten. now ive got a full-time job there. i shall always be thankful to megan. i wish i had known earlier

operating system but a good many of them still havent started. the latest numbers from netmarketshare show that windows xp still makes up around 29.5% of all desktops in use even though microsoft is due to end support for the 13-year-old platform on april 8th. zdnet reports that microsoft plans to force remaining windows xp users to start next week by sending them notices reminding them again that it will end windows xp support within a month.however, as computerworld reports, microsoft may have a hard time convincing some windows xp users to upgrade because its trying to sell them on windows 8, the newest operating system that has angered many longtime pc users by removing the traditional start menu and by adding the interface(界面) a special feature. computerworld writes that many windows users expressed anger last month when microsoft asked them to help switch as many people as they could from windows xp to windows 8 partly because microsoft hasnt offered any sort of discount for windows xp users making the switch. this is particularly tiresome, these users said, because switching from windows xp to windows 8 wont just require a software upgrade but will instead likely force them to buy new machines which are able to run microsofts new operating system. some users were also annoyed that microsoft only mentioned windows 8 and not windows 7 as upgrade possibilities. in the end, it looks like when microsoft ends support for windows xp next month, there will be a large part of the desktop pc users who are still using the platform. hackers(黑客) who have been saving up all their best new malware(恶意软件) for the day when windows xp support ends are about to have a field day.32. what problem does microsoft have now?a. windows 8 runs worse than windows xp.b. lots of users refuse to switch from windows xp to windows 8.c. no people like to upgrade their operating system.d. windows xp is out of date and needs improvement.33. how will microsoft remind users of the stop of windows xp support?a. by sending them daily emails.b. by adding the interface a special feature.c. by sending them notices.d. by removing the traditional start menu.34. which is probably one of the reasons why users dislike windows 8?a. they like windows 7 more than windows 8.b. microsoft hasnt offered any discount for it.c. microsoft refuses to offer them a new machine.d. its impossible for them to use the new operating system.35. what does the underlined phrase have a field day probably mean in the last paragraph?a. show up without warning.b. make rapid progress.c.come to an end completely.d. make full use of the opportunity.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。teaching a child good manners will help him be liked and respected by adults as well as his peers, which will give him more confidence. here are some ideas that you can use to help your child practice good manners.36 if we forget to say “please” and “thank you” when we want our children to do something for us, how can we expect them to remember when they want something?37 to get this idea across, you could ask your child to say the same sentence in different tones of voice. for example, you could ask him to say” i want some juice” in a requesting tone, a pleasant tone and a whining tone. if you record this into a tape recorder, and play it back to him, it will help him learn how to speak pleasantly without whining.have a special drawer with note lets, writing paper, nice pens and envelopes to make it easy for your child to write thank-you notes after he receives a gift or when someone has done something nice for him. 38 people always think that handwritten thank-you notes are more real.once your child is getting close to the age of being old enough to answer the phone, why not play games that help him understand how to talk politely over the phone? 39 and your child will make a good impression on the caller.remember to praise your child as soon as possible. to encourage good manners, tell your child how proud you are of him when he is polite and helpful. 40 often hearing your praise, he will want to be that way more and more often. a. it can be a real shock to hear our child repeat something rude.b. remember to be polite to your child.c. tell him repeatedly how much you are grateful for his good manners.d. these words mean so much more when they are said with true feeling.e. the tone of voice we use is just as important as which words we say.f. even in this age of electronic communication, everyone loves getting a handwritten note.g. simple phrases like “wait a minute, please” will make the caller feel comfortable.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。a few years ago, when i
