a. he received the authors email. b. he was told that life would go on. c. he would go to cambridge university. d. his life would go back to normal again.32. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the author wrote four emails to her friend. b. the mother of the authors friend died of cancer. c. the authors friend is a teacher in cambridge university. d. the author became relaxed after sending the email.33. from the passage, we can learn that the author is _. a. sincere and warm-hearted b. proud and confident c. serious and friendly d. funny and responsible cif you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. everybody knows this. yet there are many people who do not seem to know that ones memory works in the same way. when someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. when someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.if a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. but if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means practice.have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? why is this? of course, because people who cant read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. they have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time. so if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.34. according to the passage, few people know that _.a. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some timeb. when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong againc. a persons memory becomes weak if he does not practise remembering thingsd. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak35. the author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, _.a. it is his own fault b. his parents are to blamec. he is just unlucky d. his arms must be weak36. from paragraph 3, we can learn that _.a. people who cant read are cleverer than those who canb. people who cant write are cleverer than those who canc. a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memoryd. people who practise remembering regularly have a better memory37. the passage mainly tells us _.a. how to get our arms and legs stronger b. how to improve our memoryc. how to read and write d. how to remember dates and prices第二节garcia,angelica,thomas,wilkins正在谈论准备跟家人到苏格兰度假并打算找一家适合自己需求的旅馆。现在正在阅读相关的旅馆介绍的材料（a，b，c和d），并从中选出符合个人需求的最佳选项。38.gracia:my family want to do several all_day hikes in the mountains during the spring.we like a place with traditional decorations and superb views.39.angelica:i will travel to scotland with two children aged six and ten and will spend july in scotland,my children are interested in animals and plants while i enjoy fashions.40.thomas:i have to use my wheelchair and drive my own car.i enjoy concerts,museums,fine architecture and swimming.my family will spend the first two weeks of october in scotland .41.wilkins:my wife is a teacher.we have a one-year-old daughter,so we want to be in a quiet place during august.we enjoy good food,and like to take long walks(the baby rides in a backpack).a edinburgh post house a popular base for visitors to edinburgh ,this fine hotel stands next to the zoological gardens within easy reach of the many famous sights, shops and entertainments of one of europes most elegant capitals. b gatehouse of fleet,cally hotel this impressive hotel,well-known for its good scottish cooking,is an ideal choice for a relaxing family holiday.set in 100 acres of private grounds,the cally,a former stately home,has something for everyone including its own fishing lake,outdoor heated swimming pools,green lawn, tennis court,childrens playground and sauna baths.cpeebles tontine hotel the tontine had a fascinating beginning-it was built in 1808.this homely hotel has been extended to make it a really comfortable base for exploring the tweed valley and the attractive lowland country.dnorth berwick.marine hotelthis fine hotel overlooks the famous west links golf course and is close to several sandy beaches.the marine has its own open air swimming pool and putting green as well as tennis courts,squash courts and saunas.edinburgh,well-known for its art festivals,is only some 24miles away. 四、单词拼写（共8题；每小题1分，满分8分）根据下列句子及所给单词的首字母，写出各单词的完全形式（每空限填一词）。42. there are 60 m_ in an hour. 43. grandpa often told us some i_stories after supper.44.my mother_u_goes to work at 7:30am in the morni
