Mi Ni said she and her sister wanted to visit the gardens at Buckingham Palace, just like Peppa Pig and her friends did in the cartoon program.The British Ambassador answered their call with her own video, inviting the twins to her house in Beijing. “Hello Mi Ni and Mi Ai，” she said. “Im the British ambassador. Id like you to come and visit me in my house in Beijing and we can perhaps have tea and cookies in a British style.” The twins accepted the ambassadors invitation and joined her for a traditional afternoon tea on Monday, when they ate cake and drew pictures of their favorite characters from Peppa Pig.The ambassador has made arrangements for the girls and their parents to tour the UK.

The queen has not yet said if she will have time to welcome the girls.The Peppa Pig series, introduced in the mid2000s in China, has become extremely popular among Chinese children and adults.

Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People may go to parties, dress in formal clotheslike tuxedos (小礼服) and evening gowns, and drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise.It is also a common Western custom to make a New Years promise, called a resolution. New Years resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the New Year.Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the New Year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away from bad luck in the New Year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the New Year.Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the New Year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Years Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the New Year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck in the New Year. In the United States, some people eat blackeyed peas (豌豆) for good luckbut to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。不同的文化有着不同的庆祝新年的方式，例如，有的国家是在午夜开始庆祝新年的到来，而有的国家是以在清晨观看新年的第一缕阳光的方式来庆祝新年。24What does the underlined word “resolution” in Paragraph 3 mean?ASomething you say.BSomething you eat.CSomething you burn.DSomething you wear.答案：A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“It is also a common Western custom to make a New Years promise, called a resolution.”可知，resolution是make a promise (诺言)，是你说的话，故选A项。25What is the topic of the fourth paragraph?ABringing good luck.BRemembering the past.CPlanning for the next year.DKeeping away from bad luck.答案：D段落大意题。根据第四段第一句“Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year.”可知，本段主要讲的是如何避免坏运气，故选D项。26What can be inferred from the passage?ABlackeyed peas taste bad.BThe peas are very difficult to cook.COne pea brings one day of luck.DIt is bad luck to eat a lot of blackeyed peas.答案：C推理判断题。根据最后一段末句可知，一年有365天，要吃365个豆子，说明一个豆子只能带来一天的好运，故选C项。CLike all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a plan to improve the situation.Under the Velib plan (Velib comes from vlo libert， or bicycle freedom) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first halfhour on the bike is free, but if you dont return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But its only 1 a day or 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a plan like this. But not everybody thinks its a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they wont use a bicycletheyll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle plan wont solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There arent any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了巴黎的共享自行车骑行方案，鼓励人们为了环境和自己的身体健康，多骑自行车。27What can we learn about the Velib plan?AIts bikes have no baskets.BIts bikes are light and colorful.CIt aims to make traveling easier.DIt owns more stations than the subway.答案：D细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets.”可知，A、B两项错误；根据第一段中的“Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a plan to improve the situation”可知，自行车计划的目的是改善交通拥堵和废气污染的问题，故C项和原文不符；根据第二段最后一句“So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations！”可知，自行车车站要比地铁站多得多，故选D项。28If you use a Velib for 1 hour, how much should you pay?A.1. B.30.C.29. DNo money.答案：A细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“The first halfhour on the bike is free, but if you dont return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But its only 1 a day or 29 a year！”可知，前半个小时是免费的，超过半小时需要付费，一天1欧元。因此骑自行车一个小时，需要付费1。29Why do some people disagree with the Velib plan?AThe cost is rather high.BIts hard to find a Velib station.CIts not suitable for a long journey.DThe distance between two Velib stations is long.答案：C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“These bicycles are only for short journeys.”可知，这些自行车仅仅适用于短期旅途。由此可推断出，一些人反对自行车计划的原因是自行车不适用长途旅行，故选C项。30Whats the city spokesmans attitude towards the bicycle plan?ADoubtful. BPositive.CUncaring. DWorried.答案：B推理判断题。根据最后一段中城市发言人说的话“The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.”可知，他认为自行车也可能帮助人们过一种更健康的生活。由此可以推断出，他对自行车的骑行的态度是积极的，故选B项。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。Ways to Have a Joyful Chinese New YearIn many cultures, January 1st marks the beginning of a new year. _31_ It is one of the most important occasions for family reunions.Usually, the Chinese New Year celebration lasts for three weeks, starting from the 23rd day of the previous years 12th month of the lunar calendar until the 15th day of the New Year.Here are some centuriesold traditions shared by the Chinese community in order to promote blessings of health and wealth in the New Year.Spring cleaning. _32_ It is widely believed that a freshly cleaned house will bring good luck to people._33_ People will make red paper cuts, Chinese characters or red lanterns that mean luck, happiness and blessing, and stick them onto doors and windows.Setting off fireworks.
