The writer of the passage mainly wants to _. .A. give us information about the services of the hotel B. persuade us to stay in the hotelC. tell us the ways of serving D. promise us good serviceBCan trees talk? Yesbut not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapours(蒸汽)a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesnt need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees somewhere else to find nectar for honey. So why shouldnt trees have ways of sending messages?24It can be inferred from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that .A. have an unpleasant taste B. are lying on the groundC. have an unfamiliar shape D. bees dont like25.

The author believes that the incident described in the passage .A. cannot be taken seriously B. seems completely reasonableC. should no longer be permitted D. must be checked more thoroughly CLast summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, didnt tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didnt know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldnt read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label（标签，商标）, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Maries self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.28. What did the writer do last summer?A. She worked in the supermarket.B. She helped someone to learn to read.C. She helped some single mothers.D. She was trained by a literacy volunteer.29. Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.B. Because she didnt have a bus schedule.C. Because she couldnt afford the bus ticket.D. Because she couldnt find the right bus.30. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.B. She asked others to take her to the right place.C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.D. She remembered the names of the goods.31. Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?A. She could do many things she had not been able to before.B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son.C. She decided to continue her studies in school.D. She helped to build up my self-confidence. DWith the rapid pace of work and living, more and more Chinese are facing a phenomena（现象）: they tend to forget how to write Chinese characters. Some media have described the problem as a crisis（危机） for Chinese characters. So how important is Chinese writing and how can we avoid character amnesia in the future? Texting and typing are replacing the elaborate strokes(笔划) that make up written Chinese. And when it comes time to write down a few words, more Chinese are realizing they cant remember exactly how to write a given character. Professor Meng Man, associate professor of Minzu university of China, is one of the judges of the Chinese writing competition broadcast on CCTV this summer. She says she learned a lot. I was amazed by some competitors because even I couldnt remember how to write certain characters. The writing ability of adults in China falls short of our expectations. This TV programme is really great in drawing peoples attention to writing Chinese characters. This is a strange new form of illiteracy（文盲，无知）. The more cellphones and computers people own, the less often they write with pens. Whether on their computers or texting on phones, most Chinese use a system where they type out the sound of the word in Pinyin, which is commonly used, and they are given a choice of characters to use. Experts say the situation may not rise to the level of cultural crisis, but we need to be aware of the problem. Meng said, Chinese characters are generally square. This is meant to teach people to be upright（正直的，笔直的） and respectable. The computer based typing tends to cut off the Chinese bond with the root of traditional culture. This might be potentially dangerous. To settle this problem, experts suggest people change mobile phone typing from pinyinto handwriting or five stroke typing to help avoid forgetting how to write the character. After all, writing Chinese characters and being a decent（正派的，规矩的） Chinese person are what we need to pass on to future generations.32.What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 1? A. Writing B. Popularity C. Losing memory D. Usage33Which of the following will Professor Meng Man disagree with? A. She thinks highly of the “Chinese writing competition”. B. Most adults writing ability is satisfactory. C. People should pay more attention to the writing of Chinese characters. D. She herself could not write some characters sometimes.34Which is NOT true according to the passage? A. Chinese characters reflects the Chinese culture in some way. B. By changing mobile phone typing to handwriting, one can improve his writing ability. C. Experts hold the opinion that the situation has already caused “cultural crisis”. D. How to write Chinese characters is very important.35. The author wrote this essay in order to_. A. tell people how to write Chinese characters B. introduce the mobile phone typing system - “pinyin” C. encourage people to take part in the Chinese writing competition D. appeal to people to write Chinese characters more often第二节（共5小题，每小题2分）How Can I Fight Laziness? Lazy people find it hard to fight laziness. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation（动力，积极性） once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive（被动的） to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive（积极的，先发制人的） approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread（传播） if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.AOne way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.BKnowing how to fight laziness is important.CFinally，taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.DTo fight family laziness, set an example.EWith strong determination，you will be able to achieve your goal.FCreate a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.GLaziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life. 第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分）I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store.
