Do you think that is true？The British and the Americans both speak English as the official language. However，each uses some different words. We Americans are similar to the Britain. After all，our country was once owned by Great Britain，so we have a lot in common. But there are many differences between us.Great Britain has a king or queen，and the leader of the government is the Prime Minister.The United States has no kings or queens.Our leader is the President.Both the British and Americans use pounds and ounces，pints，quarts，and gallons. Both use miles，yards，and feet. Our money is different，though. The British use pounds and pence. Americans use dollars and cents.Driving in a car is very different in England. They drive on the left side of the road. We drive on the right. What we call the hood of the car，the British call the “bonnet”British cars run on “petrol”，which we call gasoline.In our everyday lives，we do many of the same things as the British.But we describe them differently.A young mother here might push a baby in a baby carriage.A British mom pushes a“pram”The British watch the“telly”，while we watch TV.We like to eat French fries，but the British call them “chips”Millions of Americans drink coffee，but most British prefer tea.So we are different in many ways.But we stay friendly anyway.1Winston Churchills words mean that_.ABritain and the US are very similarBthe people of Britain and the US are friendlyCthe languages of Britain and the US are the sameDthere are many differences between Britain and the US2The British and Americans both use_.Amiles and dollars Bpints and penceCgallons and feet Dyards and cents3Which of the following is used by the British?ATV. BPram.CHood. DFrench fries.4What is the best title for the text?AWe stay friendlyBA common language?CEnglish as the official languageDDifferences between Britain and the US语篇解读：本文是说明文。作者在文中主要介绍了英国和美国的一些异同点，特别是语言方面的异同。1A解析：推理判断题。作者先提出问题“Do you think Great Britain and the United States are alike？”紧接着便引用了丘吉尔的话，目的是为了说明英国和美国很相似。2C解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的Both the British and Americans use pounds.and gallons.Both use miles，yards，and feet.可知选C项。3B解析：细节理解题。根据第四、五两段可知，四个词中只有Pram是英式英语。4B解析：标题归纳题。作者在文中主要介绍了英国和美国在语言使用方面的一些异同。B项以反问的形式表达了“英美语言有差异”之意，形象、准确地概括了本文的主要内容，作为标题很贴切。A、C两项片面；D项太泛，且未涵盖“相同之处”。BQuestion：Id like to know about fluency.What can I do to feel better when Im talking to other people？Do you have some ways to learn it faster？Please help me!Roberto in BrazilAnswer：Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English，and this is something you want to be able to do “fast”First，if you get to meet English speakers much，the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English，but also to very good users of English.If you dont，then listen to the radio，TV or films in English.The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do，which makes them sound fluent.The first trick(诀窍)is to probably have confidence.Some people think they might make mistakes.Dont worry about that.Your listeners will usually try hard to understand youa few grammar mistakes arent going to worry them.What you do need to worry about is pronunciation，especially stress(重音)When you learn a new word or expression，learn it with its stress.Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary.Another good thing that speakers of English do is to_have_a_few_ tricks_up_their_sleeves(袖子)for when they need to give themselves thinking time. Sometimes they use “filler sounds” like er，um and so on.It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them interestedand this is often done by asking questions like“What do you think？”“How do you feel about this？”and so on.So，to become a fluent speaker，youll need to put into practice all these kinds of things.And theres the key：practise，practise，practise.Susan Fearn5Roberto wants to know how to_.Alearn EnglishBspeak English fluentlyCtalk to other peopleDbecome confident6When mentioning pronunciation，Susan pays special attention to_.Astress BexpressionsCdictionaries Dwords7What do the underlined words“to have a few tricks up their sleeves”probably mean?ATo wear a lot of clothes.BTo have a secret plan or idea.CTo hide some tricks into their sleeves.DTo have sleeves covering their whole arms.8What do we know from the passage?AOne can only learn stress from dictionaries.BGrammar mistakes worry ones listeners a Int.CAsking questions can make ones conversation attractive.DOne can become fluent if one practises one of the suggestions.语篇解读：每个学习英语的人都渴望知道怎样把英语说得很流利，本文就此介绍了几条好的建议。5B解析：细节理解题。根据Roberto所问的问题及Susan回答的第一句话可知，Roberto想知道如何能更快更流利地用英语交流，B项符合题意。6A解析：细节理解题。根据What you do need to worry about is pronunciation，especially stress可知A项正确。7B解析：词义猜测题。根据“他们需要时间思考时”及“有时，他们会用一些哦、嗯之类的填充音”可知，这是他们用到的一些技巧。have/keep sth.up/in ones sleeve意为“有锦囊妙计，留有一招”。8C解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，通过问问题的方式可以将其他说话人吸引到自己的谈话中。CPeople living on parts of the south of England face a serious problem.Last year the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered，to their horror，that their gardens had disappeared overnight.The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built.While experts were studying the problem，the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether，sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion(侵蚀)of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years.Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept father and farther inland.Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people，forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes.Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases，this is impossible.New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast，shifting the problem from one area to another.The danger is likely to continue，they say，until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock，which will not be eaten as limestone is.Meanwhile，if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future，apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England.You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.9What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?AThe disappearance of hotels，houses and gardens.BThe experts lack of knowledge.CThe rising of the sea level.DThe washingaway of limestone cliffs.10The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England_.Awill soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandBhas now become a threat to the local residentsCis quickly changing the map of EnglandDcan be stopped if proper measures are taken11The experts study on the problem of erosion can_.Alead to its eventual solutionBprovide an effective way to slow it downChelp to prevent it from worseningDwarn people whose homes are in danger12It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because_.Ait is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasBthe government is too slow in taking actionCthey will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsDhouse agents along the coast do not support the idea语篇解读：本文介绍了生活在英格兰南部海岸附近的人们面临着花园、房屋被淹的问题。该问题一直存在，但最近几年越来越严重。9D解析：细节理解题。第二段的第一句提出导致问题的原因：沿英格兰南海岸的白色峭壁被海水侵蚀。原文中的erosion对应选项D中的washingaway。10B解析：细节理解题。第二段第一、二句指出：沿英格兰南海岸的白色峭壁被侵蚀，这是一直存在的问题，但近年来这一问题更加严重。许多房屋被吞没，海水日益侵入内陆。11D解析：推理判断题。第二段最后一句指出：专家们研究了受影响最大的地区，为当地人勾画了一幅地图以预报何年他们的家园会被海水吞没。12A解析：推理判断题。由第三段第二和第三句可知，“政府观察家们已指出，在大多数情况下，不可能筑起海水防护堤墙，因为这会花费数以亿计的英镑，而且这只会使海浪沿海岸进一步推进，使问题从一个地区转向另一地区。”DWe all，at one time or another，have pretended to be a rock star，singing and dancing along to our favorite song.Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults，in the privacy of our homes.Me？I love to do that when I drive！I turn on the radio，find a song that I can sing along and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm(节奏)Most of the time，I do this on my way to work.Yes，that is true.I will be in my nice work clothes，jamming(堵塞)while driving or stopping at a traffic light.I get strange looks from some people and others laugh.Personally，I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!The definition for the word silly，according to the dictionary，is：stupid，foolish.I know many people do not want to look foolish.So they walk around all serious，which in all honesty，is foolish！No one is perfect，I repeat：No one is perfect.I dont care how educated，how thin，how beautiful，how simple，how frugal(朴素的)，how rich，and so on.No one is perfect！So why pretend to be something you are not？Life is so short.You never know when this beautiful journey will be over，so why waste a single second being so serious？Here is a quote by Souza，which I think is of great importance for life：“Dance as though no one is watching you，Love as though you have never been hurt before，Sing as though no one can hear you，Live as though Heaven is on Earth.”When we were kids，we had no idea of what limitations(限制)were and we had no care for the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared in the eyes of others.However，as we grew up，we lost that childlike innocence(天真)So dont lose the child that still lives within you.The next time you feel down，go to turn on your favorite song，and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow.Or watch something that makes you laugh.Laughter is the best medicine to whatever troubles you and nothing is better than laughing hard.Trust me，you will feel a whole lot better，and who doesnt want to feel good?13Why do we lose childlike innocence when we grow up?ABecause we have lost interest in the music.BBecause we have pretended to be something we are not.CBecause we dont care about the opinions of others.DBecause weve known what limitations ace.14What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AListening to music makes us forget worries forever.BActually，everyone is not willing to grow up.CWe should hold optimistic attitudes to our daily life.DThe author has no worries to our daily life.15The passage mainly tells us about the_.Aattitude towards lifeBdifferent ideas about lifeCways to cheer up in lifeDways to enjoy life语篇解读：人的一生，短短数载，不够时间计较，不够时间事事明细，不必在思前想后中消磨时间，而要保持真我，享受快乐。13B解析：推理判断题。从第二段可知，随着我们成长，我们伪装并表现出实际上并非真我的我们。14C解析：推理判断题。文章最后一段，我们可以推理出：我们应该拥有乐观的人生态度。譬如：笑声、唱歌和跳舞，都能使自己摆脱沮丧。15A解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者的生活态度保持真我，享受快乐。因此答案应该选择A。第二节(共5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。ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research._16_Try the following steps：Calm yourself._17_You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does no intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way._18_Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者)Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you._19_If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself._20_But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you dont do it.AWhy should you forgive?BHow should you start to forgive?CRecognize the benefits of forgiveness.DTry to see things from your offenders angle.EFor some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.FTo make your anger die away，try a simple stress management technique.GIf you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time.语篇解读：本文为说明文，主要向读者介绍了如何开始宽恕别人或自己的方法。16B解析：第一段说明了宽恕的意义，该空格后的各段说明了宽恕的具体方法，由此可推断该空格处应为一承上启下的过渡句，故选B项。17F解析：根据段落中心句Calm yourself.和下文的关键信息think of something that gives you pleasure可确定答案。18G解析：根据关键词apology可迅速确定答案。19D解析：根据关键信息write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view可确定答案。20E解析：根据段落中心句Dont forget to forgive yourself.中的关键信息forgive yourself可确定答案。第二部分：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，在短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Everyone enjoys a fitting reply；it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right

counselors and career planners who all _24_ me to have“a backup plan” in case writing didnt work out.Id never even _25_ a different career path，so I was very _26_ and worried.After much thought，I

Ralston.Morning after morning，I showed up in Mr Ralstons classroom and _29_papers for him.Sometimes，I even _30_ a lesson or two.It was fun，and the students seemed to like me，so I was surprised when it came time for my _31_.Mr Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked，“Do you really want to teach？”“Had I really been that _32_？” I thought.“Dont misunderstand.Youll do fine in teaching，”he continued.“But，is your _33_ really in it？”“Not really，” I _34_.“I want to write.I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much more.but Ive been told its tough to make it as a writer _35_ I thought maybe I would teach and then use my summers _36_ to pursue writing.”As I shared with Mr Ralston my hopes，dreams and carefully plottedout backup plan，he smiled and said，“Why are you preparing to _37_ with this backup plan？If you want to be a writer，go for it！Pursue writing！”Mr Ralstons _38_ to follow my dreams was the little nudge I needed to help me push past my _39_ of not making it as a writer and simply “Go for it！”Thats what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in _40_ season.So，lets try and be like Mr Ralston and speak that word of encouragement at just
