life is the finding things. he holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live，laugh and love together. but things are not going to be perfect. you still have to face difficulties together，working hard for your relationship.26before the age of eight，the author_.areceived no formal educationbtook no interest in reading bookscdidnt read any books of fairy talesdwas forced to improve her reading skills27what happened to the author after she attended public school?ashe started to like reading.bshe was crazy about fairy tales.cher mother always took her to the library.dher mother didnt allow her to read books of fairy tales.28whats the authors understanding of fairy tales at first?athey reflect part of the real world.bthey are unreal but worth reading.cthe major characters always have a happy ending.dthe major characters will be rewarded for their kindness.29how does the author mother like fairy tales?aa must for her kid.bunnecessary for her kid.ceasy for her kid to understand.dhelpful in building her kids character.30the authors mother intends to explain that_.alife is not perfectbno pains，no gainsclife is about sharingdone needs to live on his/her own bthe meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishessoup then will be served （unless in guangdong style restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplingsif you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at allperhaps one of the things that surprises a western visitor most is that some of the chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guestsin formal dinners，there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticksthis is a sign of genuine friendship and politenessit is always polite to eat the foodif you do not eat it，just leave the food in the platepeople in china tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumedwhen you have had enough，just say soor you will always overeat!31the main difference on dinner table between china and west is _.ayou have your own plate of food in west while in china everyone shares the dishes.bon chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork.cyoure treated to a formal dinner for the first time.dthe host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.32if you have a dinner in a chinese home，in which order will the food be served in china?aa set of four cold dishes.bstaple food such as rice，noodle or dumplings.cthe main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.dserving soup.aacbd bcabd cacdb dcadb33according to the passage，we can infer that _.achinese think it impolite for guests to leave food in the plate.bchinese think it polite to put food into the plated of the guests with their own chopsticks.cpeople in china tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.dchinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.34the sentence，in paragraph 2，“you should say so in good time” means _.ayou should say so early byou should say so happilycyoud better say so dyou should say so kindly35the “public chopsticks and spoons” are used for/to _.ashow the politeness to the guests bshare the food togethercshow the genuine friendship and politeness dput food into the plates of their guests cyou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. but lee gray, phd, of the university of north carolina, us, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. he is known as the “elevator guy”. “the lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” gray told the bbc. “they elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” we walk in and usually turn around to face the door. if someone else comes in, we may have to move. and here, according to gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. he told the bbc what he had observed. he explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box. if there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. when a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. and when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. a fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle. new entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. once in, for most people the rule is simple look down, or look at your phone. why are we so awkward in lifts? “you dont have enough space,” professor babette renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the free university of berlin, told the bbc. “usually when we meet other people we have about an arms length of distance between us. and thats not possible in most elevators.” in such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “the easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.36.the main purpose of the article is to _. a. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator b. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette c. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride d. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator37. according to gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _. a. turn around and greet one another b. look around or examine their phone c. make eye contact with those in the elevator d. try to keep a distance from other people38. which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? _ 39. the underlined phrase “size up” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _. a. judge b. ignore c. put up with d. make the best of40. according to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _. a. someones odd behaviors b. the lack of space c. their unfamiliarity with one another d. their eye contact with one another dshes not afraid of anything. snakes? no problem. walking alone in the dark? easy. were not talking about a superhero here - sm is a 44-year-old mother. and shes fearless because she happens to be missing part of her brain: the amygdala(扁桃腺). shaped like a pair of almonds sitting in the middle of your brain, the amygdala helps control fear and anxiety. a rare condition called urbach-wiethe disease left sm without her amygdala, and seems to have completely erased her sense of fear. to try to understand how the amygdala works, a team of researchers made their efforts to scare sm. they showed her horror movies and took her to the waverly hills sanatorium haunted house in kentucky. she pushed out one of the monsters(巨物) and laughed. sm said she didnt like snakes, but at a pet store full of poisonous creatures, she kept asking to touch them. when asked to rate her feelings, sm reported feeling surprised or disgusted, but never fearful. “she tends to approach everything she should be avoiding,” says justin feinstein of the university of iowa. this means the amygdala could control deeper urges to approach or avoid danger. other scientists have a different opinion, though. “i dont believe you can make a general statement about what the amygdala does by a single case study,” elizabeth phelps said. in 2002, phelps published a study on a similar patient with amygdala damage who still showed fear.it may sound like fun to be totally fearless, but we get scared for a good reason. “the nature of fear is survival and the amygdala helps us stay alive by avoiding situations, people, or objects that put our life in danger,” feinstein said. sm was once followed in a park after dark by a man with a knife, and she simply walked away. “it is quite remarkable that she is still alive,” said feinstein. 41. sm dares to walk alone in the dark mainly because _. a. she is a superhero b. she has experienced such conditions a lot c. she is a mental patient d. she has no sense of fear 42. researchers tried their best to frighten sm in order to find _. a. the function of a particular organ b. sms reaction of fear and anxiety c. the process of removing amygdala d. a special way to get along with monsters 43. what do we know from the research on sm? a. it was easy for her to avoid danger. b. sm never felt fearful but disgusted. c. sm was frightened by nothing except monsters. d. sm got along well with the snakes.44. what is elizabeth phelps attitude toward the function of the amygdala based on the research on sm? a. indifferent b. supportive c. disapproving d. interested 45. what can we infer from the last paragraph? a. people can remove their amygdala to be fearless. b. sm will be admired because of her bravery. c. no one can survive if their amygdala is removed. d. the sense of fear is crucial to humans.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。把答案填涂在答题卡上相应的题号的答案标号上，如答案是e把ab同时一起涂黑，如答案是f把 cd同时一起涂黑。首先，请阅读下面的应用文a. chinooks at salmon bay (ballard/crown hill) this casual seafood restaurant practically a city institution is always dependably family-friendly, and its food is always satisfying. its a great place to take visiting friends and families too.b. matts in the market (downtown) the most romantic feature about this cozy closet of a restaurant in the pike place market is its size. it might also make it tough to get into without a wait.c. st. clouds (madison park/ madrona / leschi) youngsters get special attention from kind staff, and sweet-treatment extends to the kids weekend brunch menu and their dinner options.d. rocksport bar & grill (west seattle) everything about rocksport is big: the seating area, the menu, and last but not least, the wall-sized projection tv screen.e. canlis restaurant (queen anne/seattle center) canlis is the place to go when you want to plan a really, truly special experience (marriage proposals, big anniversaries, etc.). the food, service and setting are all spectacular.f. red-hot bakeriesno matter where you go in this wide, wide world, one thing holds true: people absolutely love fresh-baked bread. our little corner of the planet boasts more than a few bakeries that make breads and delectable pastries worth falling for.请阅读以下就餐者的信息，然后匹配就餐者和适合他们的餐厅。46. the carpenters often take their kids out to have dinner in a restaurant on weekends. they havent visited a lot of restaurants. but sometimes they are rejected because of the children. the weekend is coming again. whatever restaurant they visit, it is essential that it should welcome kids, especially their five-year-old daughter. and their elder daughter doesnt like fish or lobster.47. fanny just got to know that anna, her former classmate, and she worked in the same office block. they havent seen each other since graduation. they plan to meet each other at lunch hour. but they have only one hour for lunch. as both of them like cakes and bread, a bakeshop might be a good choice.48. leo and his wife have been married for five years. they hope to have a celebration in a fine restaurant. these days a restaurant like this is always packed with lovers. they wouldnt like to wait for a table.49. after going shopping with her boyfriend in downtown for the whole afternoon, charlene is looking for a comfortable place to sit down and just enjoy being together.50. gary and his football team are going to have a get-together. they want to find a place where they can drink beers while enjoying some sports program.iii 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 基础写作（共1小题，满分15分） 你校学生会准备办一期英语墙报，介绍我国著名的科学家。请你根据下列提示写一篇英语短文。写作内容 钱学森简介人物身份杰出科学家和我国航天事业的先驱。生平活动* 1911年12月11日出生于浙江杭州一个富裕之家，少时天资聪颖，被称为“神童”。* 1934年毕业于上海交通大学，其后前往美国深造并获得航空学博士学位。* 1955年回国，毕生从事航天科技事业，参与火箭和导弹的开发研制，开启中国航天时代。* 2009年11月，于北京逝世。成就/评价成就斐然，被誉为“中国航天之父”和“火箭大王”参考词汇：航空学 the science of astronomy, 航天科技事业 ana industry, (astronomy and aircraft), “神童” a super-talented boy题目：a brief introduction of qian xuesen写作要求 ：只能使用5个句子表达全部内容评分标准 ：句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结构连贯。第二节 读写任务 (共1小题，满分25分)阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的
