10 years, according to a recent survey conducted by law firm eversheds.the survey, which interviewed 600 senior business decision-makers in the cities of london, mumbai, new york, shanghai and the united arab emirates, showed that london was facing a challenge from shanghai in terms of its economic role in the world.most of them said new york would continue to hold the top position as the most important economic center.according to london-based eversheds, 91 percent of senior business people in shanghai are confident of their economic future over the next 12 months, mainly based on signs of growth in business, while in london only 22 percent are confident, the lowest figure among the five cities.the report showed that 87 percent of business leaders across the world said the crisis has changed the structure of the world economy, and the established economic centers of the west face a growing challenge from the new economies of the east. china, ahead of the us and europe, has had signs of a recovery from the economic crisis. in march the chinese government decided to try to turn shanghai into an international economic center by the end of 2020.“theres little doubt that shanghai would become a worlds important economic center within the next decade if the chinese economy will become no.1 or no. 2 in the world and because of the growing value of the yuan,” said hubert tse, managing director and head of international business at law firm yuan tat.“shanghais becoming a worlds economic center is affected by when the yuan can be exchanged freely and whether effective laws would be put in place,” tse said.9. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. businessmen in london are least confident of their economic future among the five cities surveyed.b. the economic development of the established economic centers of the west has slowed down due to the crisis.c. chinese economy will surely become no. 1 in the world by the end of 2020.d.

economy.b. shanghai will become the second-largest economic center instead of london.c. new york remains to be the most important economic center.d. the structure of the world economy has been changed completely. din the past, many people depended on horses for transportation, farming and other kinds of work. a lot of people still like to ride horses. and, horse racing is also popular. so it is not surprising that americans still use expressions about the animals.long ago, people who were rich or important rode horses that were very tall. today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.we live in a small town. it does not have any exciting activities to offer visitors. my children call it a one-horse town.last night, i got a telephone call while i was watching my favorite television show. i decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag me away from the television. there was nothing that could stop me from doing what i wanted to do. you may have heard this expression: you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. that means you can give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do.sometimes a person fights a battle that has been decided or keeps arguing a question that has been settled. we say this is like beating a dead horse.another piece of advice is, do not change horses in midstream. you would not want to get off one horse and on to another in the middle of a river, or make major changes in an activity that has already begun. in the past, this expression was used as an argument to re-elect a president, especially during a time when the country was at war.12. the text is mainly concerned with _.a. some expressions about horses b. peoples great interest in horses c. horses influence on peoples life d. the authors attitude towards horses13. the phrase “ get off ones high horse” in the second paragraph is used to _.a. persuade

a horse to water, but you cannot make me drinkb. i should never get off my high horse from now onc. wild horses cannot drag me away from the studyd. i am studying so hard to beat a dead horse15. which of the following statements is true according to the text?a. a wild horse refers to something that people are interested in.b. a dead horse refers to something that people have decided.c. a black horse refers to someone who is working hard.d. a one-horse town refers to a very active town.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。learning a foreign language is a challenge, but it can also be fun. here is some advice on how to learn a foreign language.spend the timethe more time you spend learning the language, the faster you will learn. this means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. this does not mean sitting in class looking out of the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. 16 listen and read every day.listen wherever you are on your mp3 player. read what you are listening to. listen to and read things that you like, and things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. if you keep listening and reading, you will get used to the language. 17 focus on words and phrase.build up your vocabulary, and youll need a lot. start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. 18 gradually you will be able to use them. do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading. 19 if you do not want to learn the language, you wont. if you do want to learn the language, take control. choose the content that you want to listen to and read. seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand in your listening and reading. do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. talk or write when you feel like it. a teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.relax and enjoy yourself. 20 it doesnt matter. you are learning and improving. the language will gradually become clear in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. so sit back and enjoy. just make sure you spend enough time on the language. that is the greatest guarantee of success.a. do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say.b. this means you should willingly spend the time connected to the language you are learning.c. have more practice in listening.d. one hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.e. take responsibility for your won learning.f. learn a foreign language by yourself.g. soon you will run into your new words and phrase elsewhere.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节 完型填空 (共20小题;每小题1.5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，选出最佳选项many years ago, i was working as a
