We can laugh , we can gasp, we can only wonder1. Think before you chewIn Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. This rule was introduced because of the high cost and difficulty in removing stuck chewing gum from public premises. In particular, chewing gum stuck on the Mass Rapid Transit train doors stopped the train from moving. It happened a few times and those were a few times too many.2. Lighten upDrivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on. Youd think this law would apply to night driving but it doesnt . It is considered essential during the day as well or they may face a fine of up to 100.Studies have shown that this has helped a lot to avoid road accidents in Denmark.3. To failto jail In Bangladeshi, children 15 and older can be put in jail for cheating on their final examinations. Every year, Bangladeshi government takes strong measures to stop cheating and carries out a massive media campaign to forewarn students through print and television.4.Sue(控告) them pants! In France, it is still against the law for women to wear pants. The law reportedly has been on the books since 1800. It was amended several times: once in 1892 to allow women to sport trousers while riding horses and again in 1909 to permit the ladies to wear pants while on bicycles.5. The law with a flaw In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped, modified, or altered in such a way as to cause the pedal in its lowermost position to be more than 12 inches above the ground, nor shall any bicycle be operated if so equipped . The question is :Who would ride such a bike?6. One Two Three Go! In Massachusetts at a wake(守丧),mourners may eat no more than three sandwiches. It is one of those laws that was written in books and never removed since then. Bad manners, one might consider it, but in Massachusetts it is a criminal offense.21. How many laws are mentioned in the passage?A . Two B .Three C. Six D. Five 22. In which country is chewing gum not allowed ?A. Singapore B. America C. France D. China 23. Which is Not true according to the passage ?A. In Bangladesh, children 15 and younger can be put in jail for cheating.B. In Georgia no bicycle shall be equipped .C. In France it is still against the law for women to wear pants.D. Drivers in Denmark are supposed to drive vehicles with their headlights on.BNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France . The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are wiped out . They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are . Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser , a medical ethicist.24.The passage is mainly about A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill -C. a way of wiping out painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill25. The drug tested on people can A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiences C. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. wipe out the emotional effect of memories 26.We can infer from the passage that A. people doubt the effect of the pills B. the pills will certainly stop peoples emotional memories C. taking the pill will do harm to peoples physical health D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US27. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin peoples lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories .C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others. D. The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.CWith around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule. All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep. This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight . Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.28. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?A. Many students are absent from class.B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.B. Students dont sleep well because of alerting systems.C .Ones body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.D. Adolescents delayed sleep/wake cycle isnt the preferred pattern.30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?A. Criticized B. Grouped C. Organized D. Named31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock. B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. Human beings sleep behaviour. D. The school schedule of “early birds”.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earths surface. The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!What you needA hard-boiled egg without the shellA bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the eggA piece of paper A matchMethodCheck that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happened As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.32. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.33. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can .A .equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle34. How did the egg get into the bottle?A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. The experiment is carried out to prove .A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterB. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forceD. the air pressure is not equalized around us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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。False Fear of Big FishMany people believe sharks are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans. 36A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium(水族馆) in Baltimore, US, proves this. Visitors can touch young sharks, see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around a huge tank.Most people fail to realize that attacks dont happen very often. Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. 37 There , kids can learn, from an early age, not to fear sharks. “People fear what they dont know,” said Nancy Hotchkiss, an organizer of the exhibition. “Sharks have been around for 400 million years and play an important role in the oceans food chain. We want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection.”38 A study, published in January in the US magazine, Science, found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past 8 to 15 years.Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods, such as shark fin (鱼翅) soup. And many others get caught in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish. 39 “Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks,” said Dave Schofield, the manager of the aquariums ocean health program. 40 A. They can watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers.B. A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.C. In fact, 94 percent of the worlds 400 species are harmless to humans.D. It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.E. And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children.F. More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than one meter long.G. . Sharks can smell and taste blood , and trace it back to its source.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）阅读下面短文，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的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My husband ,Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse(松鸡) .It s 41 for a grouse to have any contact with people.
