he successfully elbowed the swinging diningroom door, but the back bird dropped onto the diningroom floor.the boy stood rooted, the guests staring at their plates. moving only her head the hostess looked at her son，“no harm, daniel”， she said，“just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen” . she enunciated (发音) clearly so he would think about what she was saying .“and bring in the other one.”a wink and aoneliner instantly changed the dinner from a redfaced embarrassment to a laughter.21what is the main idea of the passage?ahumor is the key to success in our work and lives.bhumor enables us to deal with difficult situations effectively.chumor is the best way to criticize someone without losing his face.dhumor makes fun of any difficult situation.22what caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?athe backward movement of the door.bthe sons rude behavior.csomeone happened to be at the door.dthe bird raised by the family.23what do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?ait would make the embarrassing situation worse.bthe son would refuse to serve the guests any more.cthe son would talk back and make the mother all the more angry.dthe guests would leave before the dinner was over.bgrasse has always been associated with smell. in the middle ages it smelt particularly unpleasant due to its leather tanning (制革) industry. the nobility (贵族) only rarely visited the pretty and charming town to pick up their handmade and tanned leather gloves. compared with the large area of land in the surrounding countryside, grasse was certainly a necessary evil with no selfrespecting noble owning buildings there.molinard, a grasse tanner himself, created the first grasse perfume. word spread like wildfire amongst the nobility about the designer perfumed gloves. molinard offered a pair of his gloves to catherine de medici (the queen), who gave plenty of praise to her grasse fragrant (芳香的) gloves; she almost singlehandedly assured grasses reputation as the perfume capital of the world. thanks to catherine de medici, grasse merchants were encouraged to grow the fragrant plants that tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to the nobility.grasse has four perfume factories and perfumeries as well as a perfume school and a perfume museum. fragonards perfume museum is situated on the first floor of its perfume factory and displays an amazing private collection of perfume bottles, presentation boxes, documents and equipment that tell the history of perfume making from its earliest beginnings to the present day. the perfume museum is open every day, sundays and public holidays included.grasse is certainly a fragrant heaven, a_far_cry from its smelly beginning as a leather tanning town. now famous for a far sweeter smell, grasse is surrounded by fields of jasmine, roses and so on.those looking for real estate in france would have to go a long way to find anywhere more charming than grasse with the city of nice and its airport just a short drive away and plenty of activities to enjoy in the surrounding countryside. real estate in grasse is situated between the southern alps and the cote dazur, allowing owners the best of both worlds.24. why was grasse considered to be necessary although it was an “evil”？ait produced leather gloves.bit was a beautiful and attractive town.cit made the nobility look respectable.dit beautified the surrounding countryside.25according to para.3, fragonards perfume museum _.ahas several perfume factoriesbis famous for its perfume schoolcshows visitors the history of grassedcan be visited all the year around26what does the underlined part “a far cry” in the last but one paragraph mean?aa long cry.ba great surprise.cvery different.dvery distant.cfive years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a us ambassador to the netherlands were found.dawn arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. however, the misplaced gems (宝石) had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. staff were unaware that the jewels were worth d|s9m.the world is full of forgetful people. a man in the english town of reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. the dish ended up in the lost property office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.a walker in the lake district had his food in his mouth but . what about his teeth? after climbing a hill in 2007, david packer stopped for a chocolate bar. he took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. it took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.over the past 78 years passengers on londons transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from world war . since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200,000 items a year. recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners. but if you find something and cant locate the rightful owner, is it finders_keepers? it depends on whats found and how, says john spencer, professor of law at the university of cambridge.“if you pick up a coin, you can keep it unless you saw someone drop it, as you wouldnt be able to find the owner by taking reasonable steps.”if its a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours. one mans loss is another mans gain!27dawn arnall is mentioned in the first two paragraphs to _.aattract readers attention to the jewellerybintroduce the topiccmake a summarydget people think28how should you deal with the money you pick up according to john spencer?akeep it to yourself. bfind the rightful owner.ctake reasonable steps. dreport it to the police.29what does the underlined part in the sixth paragraph mean?ait depends on the law whether to keep something you find.bone mans loss is another mans loss too.cits immoral to keep something that doesnt belong to you.dwhoever finds something can keep it.dred roses were her favorites; her name was also rose. and every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. the year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. the card said,“be my valentine(情人)”, like all the years before.each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, “i love you even more this year, than last year on this day. my love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” she knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. she thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. he always liked to do things early. then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. she cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. she would sit for hours in her husbands favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting there.a year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. loneliness and solitude had become her fate. then, the very hour, as on valentines day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. she brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist(花匠）shop. the owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.“i know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,”the owner said,“i knew youd call, and you would want to know. the flowers you received today were paid for in advance. your husband always planned ahead. he left nothing to chance.”“there is a standing order that i have on file down here. and he has paid, well in advance; youll get them every year. there is also another thing that i think you should know. he wrote a special little card . he did this years ago.” “then, should ever, i find out that hes no longer here. thats the card . that should be sent to you the following year.” she thanked him and hung up the phone ，her tears now flowing hard. her fingers shaking, she slowly reached to get the card. inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. then，as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote: “hello my love, i know its been a year since i was gone. i hope it hasnt been too hard for you to overcome. i know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. if it was the other way, i know how i would feel. the love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. i loved you more than words can say. you were the perfect wife.”“you were my friend and lover; you satisfied my every need. i know its only been a year, but please try not to grieve. i want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. that is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”“when you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. i have always loved you and i know i always will. but, my love, you must go on; you have some living still.”“please . try to find happiness, while living out your days. i know it is not easy, but i hope you find some ways. the roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your doors not answered, when the florist stops to knock. he will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. but after his last visit, he will know without a doubt. to take the roses to the place, where ive instructed him, and place them where we are, together once again.”30. how did rose feel when she received roses a year after her husbands death?a. puzzled and disappointed.b. happy but confused.c. proud but frightened.d. sad and surprised.31.what can we know about roses husband when he was alive?a. he knew his wife loved roses more than himself.b. he preferred to make arrangements ahead of time.c. he gave his wife a pleasant surprise every valentines day.d. he was so busy that he had to order roses in advance each year.32. the writer presents many details of the note intended for rose to show that_.a. true love is permanent whatever happensb. remembering the happy times is inspiringc. sending roses is the best way to express loved. forgetting about the past means a sense of relief33.the underlined word “grieve” (paragraph 7) is closest in meaning to_a. kill yourself b. feel deep sorrow c. marry again d. buy roses34.it can be inferred from the last paragraph that_a. roses wont be delivered anywhere if no one answers the doorb. rose wont be able to get through the difficult days without her husbandc. someday roses will be sent where rose and her husband are buriedd. sometimes the florist comes five times a day to check whether rose is out35.which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. roses for roseb. be my valentinec. an unexpected giftd. a loving couple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）last year i went to america and stayed there with an american family for two months.as is said, “the best house is in america, the best wife is in japan, and the best food is in china.” so i36pride and pleasure in “the best food” i37for my american family. each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, i would do something in a38way: changing the dishes color, the meats type or the soups style. thus, my american friends could discover the39of eating chinese food. because of my “40” job, i was often rewarded by their41of thanks such as “very delicious”, “excellent”, etc.42something funny happened yesterday when i cooked sichuan style fish for dinner. i was43with my work.when the whole family sat round the table, they first looked44at the fish, then looked at me. “why do all the fish only have their45?” they asked, “its terrible!”46or terrible? i cant understand. but i do know that fish heads are delicious. the head is the47part of fish;
