Dont say, “Boy, did you 22 like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting 23 and loud and telling offensive (冒犯的) jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Dont mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you 24 attention from the problem at hand. Moreover, 25 you complain, dont add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will 26 create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really 27 you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that 28 . Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as 29 . This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.Sensible ways to Complain:l Be specificl Stick to the presentl 30 l Complain privately21ATo start withBFrankly speakingCAnywayDNeedless to say22AconductBplayCdoDact23AupsetBboredCdelightedDdrunk24Atake awayBset offCdraw upDcatch up25AbeforeBafterCwhenDunless26AevenBneverConlyDstill27Alisten toBwork forClook afterDwait on28AtimeBmatterCpersonDparty29AjokesBinsultsCcriticismDembarrassment30ADont add insultsBDont mention old offensesCDont lose temperDDont tell embarrassing jokes四. 阅读（共两节，满分30分）(A)To find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of disclosing and controlling more land, of expanding(扩展)trade beyond(超出) their borders and of spreading their faith(信仰) across the world .In 1535, Francois I ,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore(探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead or reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term “Canada” entered the countrys history. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “village” Canada is!41. In the early sixteenth century, the King of France ordered Cartier to _A.find the new world B.build an entirely new countryC.go and visit the American IndiansD.get more information about America and find a way to Asia42. Having reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence Cartier thought _A.he had already got to India B.it was a water way to the New WorldC.it was a water passage to the East D.he had sailed into the Atlantic43. In the early sixteenth century, Quebec was only _.A.an Indian village B.a little town in southern CanadaC.a village at the entrance to the Gulf of St. LawrenceD.the place which we call Canada now44. Pick out the right statements from the following _A.Quebec was a village and Stadacona was anotherB.Cartier mistook Quebec for StadaconaC.Stadacona was a village in QuebecD.Stadacona was what the Indians called Quebec then45. “Canada” was first used to refer to _A.a small town in Stadacona B.the place called QuebecC.a long water passage D.a huge village including Quebec and Stadacona(B)“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkiens becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkiens imaginative work “The Hobbit”.Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.One of Tolkiens students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a childrens book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readersnew and old after their publication.46What can we learn from the text?A“The Lord of the Rings” didnt sell well in the last millennium.BPeople know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.CTolkien was quite familiar with Old English.DTolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.47What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?AHobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.BHobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.CHobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.DHobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.48Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?AOne of Tolkiens students.BStanley Unwins son.CAllen & Unwin.DBilbo Baggins.49What is mainly discussed in the text?A“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.BA completely new masterwork in the new millennium.Ca famous professor at Oxford University.DThe power of the magic ring.50Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkiens life experience?aHe had his “The Hobbit” published.bHe became a member of the lnklings. cHe served in World WardHe became an undergraduate at Oxford.eHis work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.fHe moved to England to live with his aunt.Af-d-b-c-a-eBf-d-c-b-a-eCf-c-d-b-e-aDd-f-c-a-b-e（C） S. H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true? cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S. H.E. fan. After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S. H. E. s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about. The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers English names. Last week S. H. E. announced they would perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15. At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed. I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents dont understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show, said Peng about the Shanghai performance. It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have made audiences much excited. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia. When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. We had never met before, and we didnt talk at all at the beginning, recalled Ella. When asked about the secret of their success, she said, Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters. Its really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing but magical, she said.51.
