They do everything together and help each other. But they often play jokes on each other. The school year was over last month and they decided to travel through the country in America. They drove a car and could stop wherever they were interested in and started whenever they wanted. Of course they enjoyed themselves. It was very hot one day and they were both hungry and thirsty. They stopped in front of a restaurant by the road. They came in， sat down at a table and ordered some dishes. Robert looked around and found there was a small bowl on the table. He thought there was some ice cream in it and took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth. Immediately he knew it was mustard(芥末)，but it was too late. Tears ran down his face， but he pretended nothing had happened. The other young man， seeing his friend crying， asked， “What are you crying about， Robert？”“Im thinking of my father who was hanged twenty years ago，” was a reply.After a while Peter made the same mistake. Tears ran down his cheeks， too. And his friend asked him why.“I wonder why your father hadnt been hanged before he got married！”21. Robert didnt tell Peter it was some mustard in the bowl because .A. he wanted his friend to repeat the mistake B. he didnt know his friend hated itC. he thought his friend knew what it was D. he thought his friend was interested in it22. Peter made the same mistake because .A. he often took some mustard B. he was too hungry to wait for their dishesC. he was much braver than his friend D. he wasnt afraid to be played a joke on23. What do Peters last words mean？A. Roberts father would be hanged earlier.B. It was wrong to play a joke on a friend.C. He must give his friend a lesson. D. His friend wouldnt be born.24. The writer mainly wants to tell us in this passage.A. not to trust your friend B. a joke C. not to mistake mustard for Ice cream D. its wrong to lie to friendsBHave you ever hear a saying， “Never judge a book by its cover.”？ This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper， he can express himself better than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating(高估) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams， he may score near the bottom of the class.In a word， you cant judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see， the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Dont judge a book by its cover.25. The passage suggests that _.A. a good writer may not be a good speaker B. a good writer is always a good speakerC. a speechless person always writes wellD. a good writer will find himself speechless 26. According to this passage， a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class _.A. is an intelligent student B. may not be an intelligent studentC. will score better in exams D. will not be a good student27. The passage suggests that we should judge a persons intelligence through _.A. his teachers B. his deeds in the classroomC. his appearance D. his reactions to different situations28. The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to_.A. judge a book by its coverB. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupidC. overestimate a students intelligenceD. judge a persons intelligence by his appearance CHow to Be a WinnerSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病)Believing my career was over， I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was itthe encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasnt finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day， 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary.

Trust yourself， write down your goals for the day， however small they are， and youll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When things are getting hard， a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve something. Then，there are other distractions， such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate.

DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5 year-old boy， I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course， he delivered more than milk. There was cheese， eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order， my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then， the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There exited a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house， for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors， so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table， having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production cheaper milk， thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Beside， milk is for sal everywhere， and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently， an old milk box the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. Took it home and planted it on theback porch(门廊).Every so often my sons friend will asked what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood， and of milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.32. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out his coin changer.A. to show his magical power B. to pay for the delivery C. to satisfy his curiosity D. to please his mother33. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house？A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.34. Why dose home milk delivery no longer exist？A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.35. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box？A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能可以填入空白处最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。 We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life， but most of us dont do a very good job. 36 So， you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous， you forget what you want to say， you stumble over words， you talk too long， and you bore your audience. Later you think， “Thank Goodness， its over. Im just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.” Cheer up！ 37 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion？ Why are you speaking？ Then， gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible， and use pictures， charts， and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 38 Dont talk over their heads， and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject， your audience， and the occasion. Be brief. 39 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps， you will see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact， you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches！ Youre not convinced yet？ 40A.It doesnt to be that bad.B.Take several deep breaths before your speech.C.This article gives some advice on how to give good speech.D.Say what you have to say and then stop.E.Dont say what you arent familiar with.F.Never forget your audience.G.Give it a try and see what happens.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Whenhighschoolstarted，BeckyandIbecamebestfriend.
