We have just been talking about Africans New Paints, so it is not surprising that you got the wrong title.Text 2W: What are the requirements for the course?M: Therell be a quiz every Monday and a final exam. Also, youre required to go to the language lab two hours each week.Text 3W: You can change planes in either Chicago or Denver.M: You mean theres no direct flight from New York to Phoenix?Text 4M: Professor Atkinson，can I see you after this class?W: Im due at a meeting thenhow about the same time on Friday?Text 5M: Now，this one shows the view right out of my hotel room.W: Wowit looks just like a postcard!Text 6W: When did you start smoking?M: Well, I started when I was, er, about sixteen, and I really started because I . well, I think my family smoked and that really made me want to, er . really, somehow it was like growing up.W: Yeah.M: And，of course，my friends around me were smoking. I do remember when I first started that I didnt really draw cigarettes at all because I didnt really know how to do it and I didnt think it was very pleasant; and its only as time goes by you get more and more used to that until finally youve realized you, you cant give up. And, in fact，when I first started I used to pretend that I couldnt give up, because it was like being a grownup. And, of course, by the time it really happens, its too late.Text 7W: Do you like pop music，Carl?M: Yes，when Im willing to. Have you got a large collection?W: No, not very many. Weve only ever played them at parties. Were jazz fans really. Theres a lot of good jazz on the radio at the moment. Do you listen to any of them?M: Sometimes, when Im not working.W : What are you studying here, anyway, Carl?M: Im doing a year at the Slade, and Im also trying to learn some English.W: I dont know about the Slade, but your English is excellent.

Personally, I think itll cost them more to collect the money than theyll get back in return. But still, children will get in free as before and the money is supposed to be used to buy new pictures, isnt it?Text 8M: Is there a problem with learning a language?W: Mmm . my brain . No, I get, um . er . yeah, no, I dont think what it is actually, is that my English language grammar, er, isnt good enough, and I can talk in the present tense, in French, but, er . I dont know the English tenses well enough to know what it is that Im trying to do.M: But when you speak English do you think of the grammar?W: No, because it comes naturally.M: But isnt that the way you should learn French，too?W: Probably.Text 9W: Here it is.

Ill just get my coat.Text 10If you ask some people “How did you learn English so well？” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep！” These are people who have taken part in one of recent experiments to test learnwhileyousleep methods.Scientists say that this sleepstudy method speeds language learning greatly. In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio. Each lesson lasted 12 hours from 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. The first three hours of English grammar and new words were given with the students awake. At 11 p. m. a light music was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next 3 hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a. m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. Then soft songs sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 oclock the noise woke up his sleep and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.答案：15BCCAC610CBBCB1115BABCA1620ABBAC第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。ALowCost Gifts for Mothers DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mothers health friend.

Anderson spotted the nickelgray Toyota Camry(银灰色丰田凯美瑞) and used her daughters key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home without realizing that the car wasnt her daughters.When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed,_but when the police couldnt find a record of it, they took a theft report.The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasnt hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansants name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, “It sounded real suspicious at first, like maybe she wanted to hold the thing for ransom(赎金)，” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to police report, the case was closed “because of mistaken car identity”， Anderson wasnt charged.Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief”. “Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition(点火装置) as wellso highfive for Toyota. I guess.” he said.24What does the underlined word “towed” mean in Paragraph 3? Aremoved Bdamaged Cstolen Dsold25Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular (心血管的) Prevention showed further evidence of the potential health benefits from tea already linked to a reduced risk of a range of cancers and other conditions.The study showed that green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries (动脉) to relax，said Charalambos Vlachopoulos，an expert at the Athens Medical School in Greece who worked on the study.Other studies have shown that black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health.The Greek team said they believed green tea might be even better because it had higher quantities of beneficial substances called flavonoids (类黄酮)some of which are lost in the oxidation (氧化) process that black tea undergoes.Flavonoids are also found in cocoa，tomatoes and grapes. “A couple of cups a day would probably be good for people，” Vlachopoulos said. “This is the first study to show these effects for green tea.”The researchers gave 14 healthy volunteers either green tea，coffee or hot water and then measured the function of endothelial cells (内皮细胞)These cells help relax arteries and ease blood flow. “What is important is these effects are evident within 30 minutes，” Vlachopoulos said.The measurements taken 30,90 and 120 minutes following consumption showed an almost immediate benefit among people who had drunk green tea，he said. While the researchers looked only at a shortterm effect，Vlachopoulos said the teams studies suggest the protection is longlasting.“Green tea is consumed less in the Western world than black tea，but it could be more beneficial，”he said.28What would be the best title for the passage?ABenefits from black teaBDifferent kinds of teaCGreen tea protects against heart diseaseDGreen tea reduces the risk of cancer29According to the study，green tea can do the following EXCEPT _.Aimprove blood flowBbenefit cardiovascular healthChelp relax arteriesDincrease the oxidation rate of flavonoids30Which of the following statements is TRUE?AGreen tea is better than black tea because it has been processed.BGreen tea contains more flavonoids than black tea.CVlachopouloss study is based on many years research.DVlachopouloss study is the first to show green teas benefits.31We can learn from the passage that _.A14 volunteers with heart disease joined in the experimentBit takes an hour for green tea to take effectCgreen tea has a longlasting effect according to VlachopoulosDWesterners prefer green tea to black tea答案与解析：28解析：归纳标题题。本文主要介绍了每天喝几杯绿茶有助于预防心脏病。第一段是主题段。答案：C29解析：细节理解题。由第二段的green tea improves blood flow and the ability of arteries to relax以及第三段的black tea also has benefits for cardiovascular health可知，绿茶能够促进血液流动，并能增强动脉疏通能力，对心血管健康也有好处。D项与文章第四段内容不相符。答案：D30解析：细节判断题。由第四段可知，研究人员认为绿茶的心血管保健功效可能会更强，因为绿茶中所含的一种名叫“类黄酮”的有益物质较多，而这种物质在红茶氧化过程中会部分流失。答案：B31解析：细节判断题。 由倒数第二段可知，尽管研究人员只探究了绿茶的短期功效，但维拉科珀罗斯称，他们的研究表明，这种保护功效是长期的。答案：CDA typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in peoples mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭子) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but its mostly for show. In reality, its the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lions face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more) only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesnt have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is to focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become .take immediate action. If youre clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.32Why does the lion tamer use a chair?ATo trick the lion. BTo show off his skills.CTo get ready for a fight. DTo entertain the audience.33In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?AThey feel puzzled over choices. BThey hold on to the wrong things.CThey find it hard to make changes.DThey have to do something for show.34What is the authors attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3? ATolerant. BDoubtful. CRespectfu
