Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays” is vacaciones. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said VACANCLES, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said NO VACANCLES, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word DIVERSION means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more. However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that Thank you in French means No, thank you.21.My Spanish friends wanted advice about _.

Robert Waller wishes to rent a room _ .A. near the school B. far away from the schoolC. inside the school D. outside the cityCAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a sweet smell was added to the vitamins enriched water, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were changed to the clear water. In time（最后）, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In classic experiments, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a room, with a wide choice of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well balanced diet.So in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them. Obviously, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by old habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how many they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going around them.29In the experiment on rats, a sweet smell was added to the rats drinking water to _.Aencourage rats to drink vitamins enriched waterBfind out rats preference in flavour(口味)Ctest whether rats know which drink is good for themDshow the vitamins are tasteless30Talking about their eating habits , babies and rats are similar in that _.Aboth prefer flavoured food and drink Bboth have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietCboth have the same eating patternsDboth develop a taste for the same kinds of flavours31In the classic experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were _. Aprovided with various kinds of baby foodBgiven many choices of drinksCplaced and fed in a cafeteria Dtrained to select a balanced diet32According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _.Aadults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their healthBadults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods.Cadults eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsDadults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns DWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldnt understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know we re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, dont fight it. Its a natural and healthy emotional response.33. Why didnt the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesnt give the reason.34. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. crying does more good to health than laughingC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health35. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of Tears B. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We Cry D.

We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people. 37 Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food. Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing（祝福）They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well，or to bless a new-born baby. 38 It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries，it may mean that you hate someone.When we go to visit someone we say“Hello！”Or“How are you? or things like that. But if you are visiting an East African village，everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly，without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. 39 In a village in Arab，a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front，he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. 40 A. It is rude to refuse.B. Its a big country with different customs.C. From the time we were babies we have been taught manners.D. In most other places，spitting means something completely different.E. Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else.F. Eating quickly is a bad habit.G. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第二节 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。Some time ago，two navy officers made a journey to the very deepest point on the earthThe two men went down seven miles to the 41 of the Pacific Ocean 42 a small ball to find out if there are any signs of life They set 43 early so that the ball would come to the surface in 44 and so be easily found by the mother shipThe drivers began preparations at dawn and soon afterwards the ball 45 under the surface of the waterIn time，the temperature dropped to freezing point and the men trembledThey kept in 46 with the mother ship by telephone describing how they feltAt a 47 of 3000 feet，the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut 48 from the outside worldAt 30 000 feet，the men were shocked by a sudden loud 49 even the smallest hole in the ball would have 50 instant deathLuckily，it was only one of the outer windows that had broken Soon afterwards，the ball 51 the soft ocean floor, 52 a big cloud of “dust” made up of different kind of small, dead sea animalsHerepowerful lights it up the 53 waterThe men were 54 to see fish swimming just above them，quite 55 by the very large water pressureBut they did not 56 to leave 1ights on for long, as the great 57 from them made the water boilQuite 58，the telephone began working again and the weak 59 clear voices of the officers were heard on the mother shipAfter a 60 of thirty minutes the men began their journey up，arriving and getting out of the ball three hours later41A. foot B. base C. bottom D. tip42A. with B. inside C on D. under43A. up B. down C. out D. on44A. evening B. days C. secret D. daytime45A. disappeared B. floated C. threw D. flew46.

On the morning I usually got up early and take a walk in the garden. After the breakfast, I began reading English and did some exercises in maths. I worked quite hardly and made good progresses. I spent nearly the whole afternoon outside. I went swim in the river and didnt come back when it was about five or six. Sometimes a friend of me would come to see me and we would spend some hours listened to music. In this way I spent my vacation happily. I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer.第二节 书面表达（满分25分）（注意：请在后面答题纸上作
