visit her mother. expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite tv talk show on his first day off in months. “this will be like a walk in the park，”hed told his wife. “ill look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids” mike, randy, and alex came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.”when food had not appeared within thirty seconds，randy began using his spoon on alexs head as if it were a drum. alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). mike chanted “wheres my toast, wheres my toast” in the background. brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.life became worse after breakfast. mike wore randys underwear on his head. randy locked himself in the bathroom，while alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. someone named “not me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. brad knew the talk show had already started.by ten oclock, things were out of control. alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.at exactly 11：17, brad called the daycare centre (日托所). “i suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away. can i bring the boys over in a few minutes？” the answer was obviously “yes” because brad was smiling.1.when his wife left home，brad expected to _.ago out for a walk in the parkbwatch tv talk show with his childrencenjoy his first day off workdread the newspaper to his children2which of the following did randy do?adrawing on the wall. beating apple jam.cfeeding the fish. dreading in a room.3why did brad ask the daycare centre for help?abecause he

comparisoncby process dby timebeating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. but there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. in one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. a separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the us. environmental protection agency (epa) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.the authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. however, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. so stricter regulation by the epa of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health. 5the text mainly discusses the relationship between _.aheart problems and air qualitybheart problems and exercisingcheart problems and smokingdheart problems and fatty food6the underlined word “modest” in paragraph 3 most probably means _.arelatively high bextremely lowcrelatively low dextremely high7what can we learn from the text?aeating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.bthe epa conducted many studies on air quality.cmoderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.dstricter regulations on pollutants should be made.8the authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _.ainform bpersuade cdescribe dentertaincif confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his september 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.while many people in china will remember confucius on his special day, few people in the united states will give him a passing thought. its nothing personal. most americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.but this doesnt mean that americans dont care about confucius. in many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of china.in the past two decades, the chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in western universities. more recently, the chinese government has set up confucius institutes in more than 80 countries. these schools teach both chinese language and culture. the main courses of chinese culture usually include chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). some social scientists suggest that westerners should take advantage of the ancient chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of western philosophy. students in the united states，at the same time, are racing to learn chinese. so they will be ready for life in a world where china is an equal power with the united states. businessmen who hope to make money in china are reading books about confucius to understand their chinese customers.so the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.today china attracts the west more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce confucius and chinese culture to the west.as for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west，even if his birthday is.9the opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.aprovide some key facts about confuciusbattract the readers interest in the subjectcshow great respect for the ancient thinkerdprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations10we can learn from paragraph 4 that american students _.ahave a great interest in studying chinesebtake an active part in chinese competitionsctry to get high scores in chinese examsdfight for a chance to learn chinese11what is the best title for the passage?aforgotten wisdom in americabhuge fans of the chinese languagecchinese culture for westernersdold thinker with a big future12the passage is likely to appear in _.aa biographyba history paperca newspaper da philosophy textbookdyouve just come home, after living abroad for a few years. since youve been away, has this country changed for the better or for the worse?if youve just arrived back in the uk after a fortnights holiday, small changes have probably surprised you anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobilephone shop to someone in your street moving house.so how have things changed to people coming back to britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? what changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed or now take for granted? to find out, we asked some people who recently returned.debi: when we left, cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middleclass families all very conservative (保守的). the town is now home to many eastern europeans and lots of australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. there are even several shops only for foreigners.having been an immigrant(移民) myself，i admire people who go overseas to find a job. maybe if i lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, id think differently, but i believe foreign settlers have improved this country because theyre more openminded and often work harder than the natives.christine: as we flew home over britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. but the differences between the place wed left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.to see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening in cyprus（塞浦路斯）, theyre very relaxed and i got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metalmade buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. everyone seemed to be on guard. even the airport carhire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.but anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. i just wish more people would appreciate what theyve got.13after a short overseas holiday, people tend to _.anotice small changes bexpect small changescwelcome small changes dexaggerate small changes14how does debi look at the foreign settlers?acautiously.bpositively.csceptically. dcritically.15when arriving at the airport in britain, christine was shocked by _.athe relaxed policemen bthe messy arrivals hallcthe tight security dthe bank robbers第二节 七选五。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。（每题3分，共15分）weve all made the excuses.

small意思相近，c项正确。extremely“极其”，不合题意，此处说：两项研究均强调，与诸如吸烟和高血压这样的危险因素来说，这些危险因素(呼吸污染或质量不高的空气的危险)的危险性对健康的人来说相对低一些。7.答案与解析：da项由第一段中future一词可排除；b项文章未提及；第三段首句表明一般的空气质量比吸烟危险性低，c项错误；文章最后一句表达了作者的看法：环境保护局对污染物质的严格规定或许不仅能提高环境空气质量，而且可能会成为保护公众健康的必要因素。由此推理可知，应该对污染物质做出更严格的规定，d项正确。 8.答案与解析：a作者以具体的调查研究数据和分析说明空气更会即时地导致心脏疾病，是客观上有理有据地让读者有所了解，而不是主观上的劝告，也不是描述，更非为了娱乐。a项正确。10.答案与解析：b第四段的第一句就是本段的主旨句。这一段讲述了孔子文化在西方国家的受欢迎程度，由此我们可以得出答案。11.答案与解析：d全文讲述了孔子学院在西方国家受欢迎的程度。它架起了一座东方文化向西方传播的桥梁，因此是古老的思想家与未来的结合。c项有一定的干扰性。本文主要介绍了孔子思想在西方国家的传播，因此c项的范围过大。14答案与解析：bcautiously意为“谨慎地”；positively意为“积极地；肯定地”；sceptically意为“怀疑地”；critically意为“批判性地”。根据第五段最后一句.but i believe foreign settlers have improved this country because theyre more openminded and often work harder than the natives.中的improved this country，openminded和work harder可以看出作者对外来定居者持积极的态度，所以选b。15答案与解析：c从文章的倒数第二段可知答案选c。从倒数第二段第一句话to
