I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. Ive slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think its an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. Youre forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafs are not terribly nice. As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb (a lot of money) on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 pm. I used to use it, but now Im afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and thats typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.41The writer doesnt like London because she _.Ais not used to the life there nowBhas lived there for seventeen yearsCprefers to live in an old-fashioned houseDhas to be polite to everyone she meets there42Where do people usually meet their friends in England?AIn a caf.BIn a restaurant.CIn a nightclub.DIn a pub.43The underlined part “it” (in paragraph. 4) refers to_.Aa taxiBthe moneyCa bombDpublic transportBAbout one-third of a typical homes heat loss occurs through the doors and windows. Energy-efficient doors are insulated（隔热的） and seal tightly to prevent air from leaking through or around them. If your doors are in good shape and you dont want to replace them, make sure they seal tightly and have door sweeps at the bottom to prevent air leaks. Installing insulated storm doors provides an additional barrier to leaking air. Most homes have many more windows than doors. Replacing older windows with new energy-efficient ones can reduce air leaks and utility bills. The best windows shut tightly and are constructed of two or more pieces of glass separated by a gas that does not conduct heat well. If you cannot replace older windows, there are several things you can do to make them more energy efficient. First, caulk(填以防漏) any cracks around the windows and make sure they seal tightly. Add storm windows or sheets of clear plastic to the outside to create additional air barriers. You can also hang insulated window curtain on the insideduring the winter, open them on sunny days and close them at night. During the summer, close them during the day to keep out the sun. 44If you dont want to replace the door, you can_.Aseal the door tightly Bmake door sweeps at the bottomCdo nothing.DBoth A and B45If you dont want to replace the windows, you can do except_.Aseal the windows cracks tightly.Binstalling storm window or sheets of clear plastic outsideChang insulated window curtain insideDmake windows sweeps at the bottom46When in the summer, we should do_.Aopen the windows on days and close them at nightBseal the door tightlyCclose the windows on days and open them at nightDseal the windows cracks tightly47What is the purpose of writing this text?ATo tell people how to save energy.BAdvertise the Energy-efficient doors and windows.CTo tell people that they should reduce the number of windows.DEnergy-efficient doors and windows are useful to decrease heat loss. CThe bumpy（凹凸不平的）structure of walnuts is similar to the brainSome Chinese believeeating walnuts will make them smarter because of thatBy the same logic，they believe eating pig brains will increase their intelligenceThis kind of food myth is true to Americans，too. Some Americans regularly eat uncooked eggs to keep their minds sharpMost doctors dont recommend eating either raw eggs or animal brainsThen, what food is good for your brain? Scientists have found a relationship between diet and a healthy brainIts becoming pretty clear that the right food can increase brain powerhelp you pay attention, keep you motivated，improve memory, and defuse stressPerhaps even prevent brain agingThe health of your brain depends not only on how much（or little）fat you eat but on what kind it isIntellectual performance requires the specific type of fat found most commonly in certain fishBesides oily fish，you should introduce lots of dark green leafy vegetables and colorful fruits into your dietMost people lack the special vitamins that these brain foods provideBut you wont do well on your test just because you ate fish the night before. You must eat brain foods regularly48Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “defuse” in Para.2?AConfuse. BAvoid. CLessen.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to thema form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an illrespected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a wellrespected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.52The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that_.Abright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.Bchildren from wellrespected schools tend to have good jobsCpoor children with certificates are favoured in job markets Dchildren attending ordinary schools achieve great success53What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?ASchools for bright children would lose their reputation.BThere would be more opportunities and excellence.CChildren from poor families would be able to change their schools.DChildrens job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.54The opponents of the examination system will agree that _.Ajobs should not be assigned by systematic selectionBcomputers should be selected to take over many jobsCspecial classes are necessary to keep the school standardsDschools with academic subjects should be done away with 55The passage mainly focuses on _.Aschools and certificates Bexamination and equality Copportunity and employment Dstandards and reputationIV单词拼写 （10%）1He was so f_ with her beauty that he only wanted to marry her.2I hope people will be c_ enough to speak out against this injustice.3Im not going to give you a formal lecture, but just a few c_ remarks.4Does the idea of studying abroad a_ to you?5Usually a senior three student will buy a lot of r_ books so that he can do more practice.6I hope you will keep us i_ of how you are getting on with the work, so lets keep in touch.7It rained cats and dogs but I forgot to bring my raincoat; t_ I got wet through.8Im waiting for his apology while he is u_ of his mistake at all.9The people for the experiment were chosen completely at r_ rather than on purpose.10Some of the garments we wear have brand names a_ to them which turn us into walking advertisements.V. 短文改错 （10%）I worked like a postman for a short time, but I 1._was afraid of the dogs and I had a lot of trouble. 2._One day, I managed to send a postcard to a big house. 3._No sooner had I got my bicycle than a large dog ran 4._towards the gate, barking loudly at me.
