It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money！” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.21Where is the writer most probably from?ABritain.BThe USA. CItaly. DGreece.22Generally, in May the weather in London is _.Awarm and dry Bcold and dry Ccool and rainy Dhot and wet23The writer mainly tells us_.Ahow to make life easier Bhow to be well prepared for a tripChow to enjoy ourselves on the trip Dhow to schedule our tripBRoberto Clemente was born in Puerto Rico. When he was eight years old, he started working on a sugar farm. Clemente worked many hours. But he always found time to play baseball. Even when there were no games, Clemente would throw whatever he could find a bottle top or an old shoe.Years of practice made Clemente a skilled player. When he was 18 years old, he became a professional (职业的) baseball player. In 1954, the Pittsburgh Pirates asked Clemente to play for their team. However, playing for the Pirates was not easy at first. Many of the other players treated (对待) Clemente poorly. Most of the players were white, and Clemente was a black. But his attitude and skill helped him become the leader of the team.In 1971, Clementes team competed in the final game of the Baseball World Series. By this time, Clemente was one of the oldest players on the team. However, he was also still one of the best. Clemente had been hurt all season. But he believed in his skill and in his team. He promised his team that they would win. Clemente kept his promise and the Pirates won the World Series.After the World Series, Clemente became famous for more than just his baseball skills.On December 23, 1972 there was a big earthquake in Nicaragua. Clemente decided to go to Nicaragua himself and give supplies to people there. But Clemente never had a chance to do so. On December 31,1972, his airplane crashed (坠毁) over the ocean. Clemente was only 38 years old.In his life, Roberto Clemente cared about many things. He loved baseball. He loved his country. And he loved helping other people. Clemente gave his life serving others. He died as a hero. One of his friends said, “If he had died as a baseball player, only people who love sports would remember him. But he died helping other people. And now people will remember him as someone who used his life to help others.”24Clemente was badly treated in the Pirates because of _.Ahis ageBhis poor skills Chis race Dhis bad attitude25During the final game of the World Series, Clemente _.Awas in good health Blet his team members downCwas the oldest player on his team Dwas sure of winning the competition26While trying to help people in Nicaragua, Clemente _.Alost his life Bdied in an earthquakeCgave up playing baseball Dgave supplies directly to them27The author writes the text to tell us that _.AClemente loved baseball more than his life BClemente was much more than a great baseball playerCthe honor of Clemente was not easily won Dthe story of Clemente was not just about a promiseCHave you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Lets have a look.People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.28What is this passage mainly about?AWhat pants mean in English. BSome special English expressions.CSome funny English expressions. DSome expressions related to clothes.29Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous?AGet caught with ones pants down. BHave ants in ones pants.CWear the pants in the family. DBurn a hole in ones pocket.30If we say someone has to tighten his belt, we probably mean he _.Ahas done something wrong Bused to live a rich lifeCis short of money Dhas put on the wrong pants31Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably_.Adoesnt save money Bearns much moneyCnever wastes his money Dspends more than he earnsDTo help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead (铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children. Now, theres a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags.“When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag，” Charles Schumer, a government official said.“Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.”The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix supermarkets from Florida supermarkets to test them for lead. The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials. Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbish. Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food. But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be freed.The affected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores across America. Publix says that its bags dont break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce (降低) the lead levels in them.The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead. People worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be reused.32What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags _.Acant be reused Bcan be a danger to peopleCare a waste of money Dare as bad as paper bags33The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “_”AbagsBFoods Csupermarkets Dofficials34Lead in shopping bags will probably come out when _.Afood is put in them Bthey are thrown awayCthey are put with other rubbish Dthe paint is separated from them35Whats the best title for the text?AThe return of paper bags BTime to invent greener shopping bagsCLook out for reusable shopping bags DThe safety of shopping bags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。How to deal with your homeworkWrite it down. _36_ Make a note on your notebook.
