the signs are not promising. tie wearing seems to be rare among entrepreneurs(企业家) in the internet and new technology industries. many political leaders，including british prime minister tony blair, now go without ties. this shows they are men of the peoplebut not the people wearing ties.up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. that changed with the election of john f. kennedy to the presidency of the united states. kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was“hatless jack”. seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. perhaps“tieless tony”(uk prime minister tony blair) will have the same effect as “hatless jack”21in britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a persons_.a. personality b. job c. social position d. favorite hobby22in the business world，wearing a tie was necessary because_.a. it showed you were welltrained b. it showed you got a good salaryc. it showed you were an employer d. it showed you were a brainworker23the writer may hold the opinion that_.a. millions of people will go to work without a tieb. kennedy is the best leader in the worldc. blair is the best leader in the world d. people will wear hats instead of tiesbtwelve years ago, i arrived in central florida from puerto rico. i had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it. but it never became a reality. i quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in. once my limited funds ran out i became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of orlando. apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, i had to face another challengehunger.for the first time in my life, i, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the desperation someone feels when they dont get enough to eat. i clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm. once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arisewhere to find a place to sleep for the night. fortunately, local programs like the coalition for the homeless, second harvest food bank and the wayne densch center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience. with the assistance of these programs, i was accepted by a college scholarship program through the coalition and obtained two degrees from valencia. my experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. today, i am employed as childhood hunger programs manager at second harvest foodbank and oversees the summer feeding, hi-five kids pack, and kids caf programs. i am also proud to be able to distribute(分配) food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.24. what can be inferred from paragraph 1? a. it was impossible for the author to get a job then. b. many local people were out of work in florida. c. florida is not a good place for people living there. d. the author rejected many chances to get a job in florida.25. why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions? a. because he didnt want to be late for work there. b. because he desired to get some free food to eat.c. because he went there to help the poor.d. because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.26. before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author_.a. had lived with his relatives happily. b. had won his degree in a university.c. had been struggling financially. d. had lost hope of facing the future.27. from his experience, the author learned that _.a. misfortune may be an actual blessing. b. a friend in need is a friend indeed.c. where there is a will there is a way. d. one good turn deserves anotherc london has become a cycle-friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. it has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central london. so how does it work? first you have to sign up for the scheme to be sent a key. the key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at docking stations in and around central london. you have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as go for the length of time you use the bike. transport for london, which runs the scheme, is hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking station in place by the end of the year. the new hire system is hoping to ease congestion(拥挤)in london and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. london mayor boris johnston launched the scheme and said london had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”. however, there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last friday. on the first day some people found they couldnt dock their bikes properly and that their usage of the bikes had not been registered. transport for london did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and said they wouldnt charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles. despite the comments, the green-thinking london mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, ”my campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”28.london mayor boris johnston launched the new bike hire scheme in order to _. a. reduce the air pollution of the city b. deal with the citys traffic problems c. increase employment opportunities d. encourage the citizens to take exercise29.if you want to hire a bike, in which order will you do?a. pay for the key to a bikeb. sign up as a member to get a keyc. cycle in and around central londond. pay according to the time you use the bikea. b-a-c-d b. b-d-c-a c. d-c-b-a d. d-b-c-a30. all the following are the problems of the scheme except_.a. the high cost to hire a bike b. docking the bikes properlyc. not registering their usage of the bikes d. not charging for the first day of the scheme31. from the passage, we can infer that _.a. the cycling revolution is not successfulb. all the citizens in london support the schemec. the london mayor is confident of the schemed. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsdhere is an astonishing and significant fact: mental work alone cant make us tired. it sounds absurd. but a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). to the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! if we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. but if we took blood from the brain of an albert einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. so far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. the brain is totally tireless. so what makes us tired? some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. one of englands most outstanding scientists, j.a. hadfield, says, “the greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. in fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” dr. brill, a famous american scientist, goes even further. he declares, “one hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.” what kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? joy ? satisfaction ? no! a feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated-those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. we get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.32. what surprised the scientists a few years ago? a. fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood. b. albert einstein didnt feel worn out after a days work. c. the brain could work for many hours without fatigue. d. a mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins.33. according to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired? a. challenging mental work. b. unpleasant emotions. c. endless tasks. d. physical labor.34. whats the authors attitude towards the scientists idea? a. he agrees with them. b. he doubts them. c. he argues against them. d. he hesitates to accept them.35. we can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _. a. have some good food. b. enjoy their work c. exercise regularly d. discover fatigue toxins第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容从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。请把36-40的答案依次涂在答题卡71-75相应位置。as a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. _36_ a child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others, but also learns to respect others. show him respect.this is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important it is in communication. _37_the more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation. agree to disagree._38_ explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. disagreeing with you doesnt necessarily mean disobedience(不顺从)。 control your impulse to overreact.when a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. _39_ praise ,praise, praise.so much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his accomplishment are not celebrated enough. _40_a teach manners by using polite requests and responses.b try to remember that a child wont always agree with you.c response is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.d if he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.e a child may act as he pleases, and he will live a happy life.f seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows how proud you are of him.g respectful behavior is always accompanied by bad behavior as a child.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，然后从各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。i used to believe in the american dream, which meant a job, a mortgage(按揭)，credit cards, success. i wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us _41_chasing the same thing.one year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell _42_. i found myself homeless and alone. i had my truck and $ 56. i _43_ the countryside for some place i could rent for the _44_ possible amount. i came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road _45_ the potomac river in west virginia. it was _46_, full of broken glass and rubbish. i found the owner, rented it, and _47_ a corner to camp in.the locals knew nothing about me, _48_ slowly, they started teaching me the _49_ of being a neighbor. they dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began _50_ around to chat. they started to teach me a belief in a _51_ american dream-not the one of individual achievement but of _52_.what i had believed in, all those things i thought were _53_for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. _54_ on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my _55_ with my neighbors.four years later, i moved back into _56_. i saw many people were having a really hard time, _57_ their jobs and homes. i managed to rent a big enough house to _58_ a handful of people. there are four of us now in the house , but over time ive had nine people come in and move on to other paces. wed all be in _59_ if we hadnt banded together.the american dream i believe in now is a shared one. its not so much about what i can get for myself; its about _60_ we can all get by together.41.a. separatelyb. equallyc. violentlyd. naturally42.a. offb. apartc. overd. out43.a. crossedb. leftc. touredd. searched44.a. fullestb. largestc. fairestd. cheapest45.a. atb. throughc. overd. round46.a. occupiedb. abandonedc. emptiedd. robbed47.a. turnedb. approachedc. clearedd. cut48.a. butb. althoughc. otherwised. for49.a. benefitb. lessonc. natured. art50.a. stickingb. lookingc. swingingd. turning51.a. wildb. realc. differentd. remote52.a. neighborlinessb. happinessc. friendlinessd. kindness53.a. uniqueb. expensivec. rared. necessary54.a. upb. downc. deepd. along55.a. cooperationb. relationshipsc. satisfactiond. appointments56.a. realityb. societyc. townd. life57.a. creatingb. losingc. quittingd. offering58.a. put inb. turn inc. take ind. get in5
