a. always tell your friends the truth. b. sharing your mind with your friends is of great value. c. a friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend. d. discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.beasy for one to learn a foreign language? when a student is learning to speak british english, he wonders: can i communicate with americans? can they understand me? learners of english often ask: what are the differences between british and american english? how important are these differences?certainly, there are some differences between british and american english. there are a few differences in grammar. for example, speakers of british english say “in hospital” and have you a pen?”, americans say “in the hospital” and do you have a pen?.pronunciation is sometimes different. americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. speakers of british english do not sound theirs in these words. there are differences between british and american english in spelling and vocabulary. for example, “colour” and “honour” are british, “color” and “honor” are american.these differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. for the most part, british and american english are the same language.chere is something about christmas. every year just after christmas the january sales start. all the shops reduce their prices for two weeks, and they are full of people looking for bargains. my husband and i do not normally go to the sales as we dont like crowds and are short of money as we have to buy lots of christmas presents. last year, however, i took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of london. we both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. when we got to oxford street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. so i left my husband and started looking around the shops. unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. but i did buy a television at a very low price, so i felt quite pleased with myself. when i arrived at the station, my husband was not there. so i sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. i quickly finished my tea when i saw my husband and went out to meet him. he looked very happy. then i saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “oh, dear!” i thought. yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. we shall not go to the sales again.28. in january _.a. lots of people go shopping for something cheaper b. people have a lot of money to spend after christmas c. all the shops close for a two-week christmas holidayd. people dont have enough money to buy new clothesdwith only about 1 000 pandas left in the world, china is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species . thats a move similar to what a texas a&m university researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “noahs ark”.noahs ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos , semen and dna of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. if certain species should become extinct, dr. duane kraemer, a professor in texas a &ms college of vetreinary medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.it is estimated that as many as 2 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will be come extinct in over 100 years. the panda, native only to china, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.this week, chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a japanese white rabbit. they are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.the entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“the nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” kraemer believes. “they will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). it takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. they are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at texas a&m, the first ever attempt at cloning a dog.“they are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in noahs ark. were both trying to save animals that face extinction. i certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. its a research that is very much needed.”32. the aim of “noahs ark” project is to _. a. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasb. save endangered animals from dying outc. collect dna of endangered animals to studyd. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项多余what is your favourite colour? do you like yellow, orange, red? 36_ . do you prefer greys and blues? then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. you tend to be pessimist(悲观主义者). at least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. _37_ . if you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly._38_ . a yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. _39_ . a black bridge over the thames river, near london, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. the number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. _40_ . it is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.a. on the other hand, black is depressing. b. they tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up - we are born with our preference.c. the rooms are painted in different colours as you like.d. if you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.e. light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.f. life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.g. colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it第三部分： 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并标在答题卷的相应位置。everybody has a choice .i believe that i always have a choice. no matter what im doing and what is happening to me. i used to write my books, typing on a keyboard, _41_now i can no longer _42_ my hand. today i am sitting at my computer, speaking these words through a microphone. in 2008, i was diagnosed with als, a(n) _43_ disease, which would weaken and finally _44_every important muscle in my body. that is to say, i will be _45_ unable to move, to speak, and finally, to_46_. only largely depending upon others could i live. i was lost and felt everything around me become dull. i was _47_ to give up writing completely and remained _48_ all day long. in the _49_, some of my friends and ralatives came to _50_ me. however, it wasnt long _51_i became lonely again, wondering the meaning of life. sometimes i came up with the _52_ that id better end my life because i couldnt _53_ the complex(复杂的) expressions on my familys faces. i became depressed, doubtful and _54_. then one day as i was wheeling myself along a nearby street, i found an old guy in dirty clothes with no legs _55_ in the street. i was shocked and woke up at once. i was more _56_ than him. i have thousands of _57_ to live on. when he came to me begging, i was so inspired and offered all that was in my purse. from then on i _58_ to go through the process of learning to use voice recognition software. old woman _59_i was, i wrote more now than ever. every day now i have a _60_ on not only whether i will live, but how i will live. i can choose to see it as an invitationan opportunity to learn who i really am.41. a. and b. soc. but d.until42. a.liftb.controlc.removed.wash43. a.curableb.unknownc.commond.terrible44. a.destroyb.rebuildc.canceld.remove45. a.hardly b.actuallyc.graduallyd.totally46. a.communicateb.behavec.breathed.die47. a.determinedb.forcedc.encouragedd.advised48. a.positiveb.disabledc.dependentd.silent49. a.beginningb.endc.eveningd.hospital50. a.guideb.admirec.entertaind.comfort51. a.sinceb.whenc.untild.before52. a.opinionb.ideac.imaginationd.choice53. a.understandb.guessc.forgived.bear54. a.hopelessb.adventurousc.disabledd.impolite55. a.sleepingb.beggingc.singingd.dancing56. a.unluckyb.miserablec.confidentd.fortunate57. a.chancesb.excusesc.reasonsd.purposes58. a.managedb.continuedc.intendedd.stopped59. a. butb.thoughc.even ifd.that60. a.wayb.methodc.thoughtd.choice第ii卷（非选择题 共50分，答案用黑色水笔写在答题卡相应位置）第四部分 写 作 (共三节)第一节 短文填词（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）根据语境或已给出的词，在每个空格内填适当的英语单词（不超过3个词），所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确，并将该词完整地写在答题卡中相应的横线上。fast food is becoming more and 61_ popular in china, especially among children and teenagers. there are several explanations forits popularity. first, it is very convenient and62 alot of time. you just go into a fast food restaurant to order your food, and your food is readyimmediately. 63 , you can either eat it there or64 it away. third, the environment of fast food restaurants is both clean and65 （comfort）. fourth, excellent servic
