aanimals need care bprison culture is important ccaring makes us human deveryone needs to be cared for27in paragraph 2，the author mentioned that “several times i saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners” to_ ashow us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other bshow us the officer and prisoners all like the catcshow us the american prison culture does need improvement dshow us the american prison culture is great c the origins of the apple tree are in asia. we know that 8,500 years ago apples were being grown and eaten in ancient jericho, a city near the jordan river. in some parts of the ancient world apples could only be afforded by royalty (王室成员) and their courts, and were a popular dessert as long ago as 4,500 years. now the apple is the most popular fruit in the world. you probably know that theres a tradition for students to bring shiny apples to their favorite teachers. but why? no one knows for sure. the idea of an apple for the teacher has been with us since the late 1800s. perhaps the custom grew out of the fact that apples are ripe (成熟的) in september, when the school year usually begins. in earlier times, students, particularly those in rural areas, could pick apples from trees on their way to school. they were easy gifts for children to give. however, the lovely practice took on a dark note if the other children thought the gift-giver was trying to buy the teacher into giving him or her better grades. apple polisher came to mean someone who tries to please a superior (上级) in return for special treatment. it was a popular college slang (俚语) term in the 1920s, but the term isnt used much any more. its true that apples can be very attractive. the apple is americas favorite fruit, as shown in the phrase, as american as mom and apple pie. after all, who ever says, a banana a day keeps the doctor away or youre the banana of my eye? and who brings a banana to his or her teacher? nobody.28. what do we learn about the apple from the passage? a. it has been popular worldwide since 8,500 years ago. b. it has been a popular dessert for about 4,500 years.c. the origins of the apple tree are in america.d. everyone could enjoy this fruit in the ancient world. 29. why did students give their teachers apples? a. apples were ripe when the school year began. b. apples were the most popular fruit.c apples were expensive enough as gifts. d. teachers liked to get apples from students.30. which of the following is true about the phrase apple polisher?a. it is used to praise someone for his / her performance.b. it is still as popular nowadays as before.c. it may mean something good or bad, depending on the situation.d. it refers to someone who wants to please a leader.31. what do we learn from the last two paragraphs? a. apples are related to mothers in america.b .apple is a popular word, and used in many phrases.c. apples are attractive because of many stories. d. nobody wants to use the word banana. done of the special features of english people is self-discipline (自律). generally, english people are polite and always want to please others. on the other hand, they dont like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. imagine the scene! some english people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. anybody else would be anxious to run away. the english would just try to hide their emotions. not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces. we often hear of the english reserve(矜持). on a long railway journey, with four englishmen sitting together, often there wont be a single word spoken during the whole journey. the english think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. that wouldnt be the case in america. in a short ride in new york, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of england he has visited, too. the english value privacy (隐私) very much. an englishmans house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors. an englishmans house is his castle. finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the scottish (苏格兰的) people the scottish dress. scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume the kilt. this short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men. the kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in scotland.32. when the english are in a dangerous situation they usually _. a. laugh at other people b. behave very bravely c. hide their emotions d. run away immediately 33. in the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in new york to _. a. explain what a personal question is b. show the bad manners of americans c. show that english people are not very polite d. show the reserve of the english34.what do we know about the kilt in the last paragraph? a. its long and just like a skirt. b. its worn by both men and women. c. its made of a special type of cloth in scotland. d. its a traditional costume all over great britain.35. what can we learn about the english from the passage? a. they are not very confident. b .a house with a fence all around makes them feel safe. c .they usually dont respect others privacy. d. they prefer a house with a garden to a flat. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。（请将此部分答案填涂到答题卡71-75题相应位置） although it is fashionable to say that everyone should share the housework equally, in many homes parents do most of it. _36_it is true that young people spend most of the day at school or college and they also have large amounts of homework to do when they come home. _37_ in my view, family life is more pleasant when everyone shares the responsibility for cleaning and tidying because it takes less time._38_ but in my opinion, young people should learn to do them as preparation for the future.teenagers should share the housework because learning how to do it will help them when they have you look after their own family in the future. _39_ but if they learn to do some basic housework when they are old enough to do it, they wont be worried about doing the housework in their new grown-up life.finally, housework is boring if you do it alone. but when families do it together, it gives parents and children a chance to talk to each other about the things that matter to them. _40_for all these reasons, i think that everyone should share the housework.a. in fact, sharing the housework equally is impossible.b. they think they have an important role in their family.c. on the other hand, parents go out to work and come home tired.d. people often argue that parents do the cooking and cleaning better.e. in my opinion, i believe people of all ages should do their fair share.f. too many young adults leave home without knowing how to cook or clean.g. this greatly improves family life and makes young people more responsible.第三部分完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 it was a hot, sunny day in a national forest. unfortunately, my best friend, ned, and i got _41_. once we realized that we were separated from our group, we _42_ tried to find a safe place to set up our base. we found a small area next to a _43_. then we started a fire with some leaves and sticks _44_ nearby.while i was _45_ the fire, ned brought more _46_, which were put in the water and then slowly thrown into the fire. the _47_ leaves created a lot of smoke. then we started to write some _48_ notes saying, “we are lost! if you find this _49_, you will find us upstream. we are keeping up a(n) _50_ fire. please find us!” they were made into paper _51_ and sent downstream, one every five minutes. we _52_ that these boats would draw somebodys attention._53_ our group was well on their way, we wanted to be ready for them. ned and i started to _54_ two hollow logs (空心圆木) and some strong sticks. our small fire _55_ produced plenty of smoke. soon we were very _56_ to hear whistles (口哨) far in the distance. it must have been the smoke that worked. now it was time to start _57_ on the hollow logs. we enjoyed this part _58_ we got to sing and shout along with the beat (节拍). soon after, we were _59_ by our group and we headed back to our camp with a (n) _60_ story to tell.41. a.hurt b.drunk c. punished d.lost42. a.immediately b.possibly c. suddenly d.recently43. a.car b.room c. stream d.factory44. a.missed b.collected c. bought d. borrowed45.
