On the Twentieth Century.BMy family moved around a lot when I was growing up. In 2nd grade, I lived here in Washington DC, where I made an amazing group of friends. I was upset when my parents told me we were moving again and I would have to leave all my best friends behind.In 7th grade, we moved back to Washington DC. And I could not have been more excited and I felt like I was finally home again. But things had changed. There were two new girls, who decided that they didnt like me, which meant no one else could, not even all my former best friends.And then one day during school, I opened my locker, only to find a note lying on the floor. The note said：Die. Nobody likes you.My heart started beating faster and I felt the blood rushing to my face. I had no idea what to do. The note wasnt signed and I had no idea who had written it, but I figured the new girls were behind it. I had to sit in class all day with my head down, wondering who else knew about this shame. I felt horrible and sure that nothing would ever be good again.I decided that the perfect way to end all of this was with another note, left on the bathroom mirror at school.Its sad for someone to bully (欺负) other classmates to make themselves feel better or look cool. Bullying others is a way to impress others. Its common, but that doesnt mean its Okay. Looking cool is not worth making others feel bad. Obviously Im very happy now, but it doesnt mean Ill ever forget about that note or how it made me feel. And to those of you that are current victims of bullyingknow that you are NOT alone. It will get better. I promise.24Why was the author unhappy when she left Washington DC?AShe couldnt adapt herself.BShe had to leave her best friends.CShe was growing up there.DShe hated traveling a lot.25When the author opened the locker, she felt_.AsurprisedBannoyedCamusedDashamed26In the end, the author turned things around_.Aunder her teachers guideBby compromising to othersCwith her best friends helpDthrough her own efforts27What suggestion does the author give to the teens?AMeet friends whenever possible.BMake efforts to fight back hard.CGo easy on yourself and others.DBe optimistic and let a thing slide.CThe hit movie Notting Hill (诺丁山) begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant knocks into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After it happened, Grant repeatedly says, “Im so sorry. Im so sorry.”His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts were from Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as welleven if it were not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they ran into someone in the streetregardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, the British use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry？” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No, I am sorry！” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete for who is the most sorry.Why are the British so sorry? Mark Tyrrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for not really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry！”True manners are about being considerate, and todays constant useof apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.28Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?A To give an example of British modesty.BTo introduce different ways of saying sorry.CTo show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.DTo draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.29Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrrell agree with?APeople should not apologize if they are not responsible.BAmericans care less about manners than British people do.CThat British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.DBritish people care too much about which social class they are from.30What can be inferred from the passage?AIts unnecessary for British people to be so polite.BThe overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.CPeople should give up the traditional use of the word “sorry”DUsing “sorry” more doesnt necessarily mean people are more polite.31What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo explore the best way of saying sorry.BTo explain why the British overuse the word “sorry”CTo show how saying sorry has changed over time.DTo suggest many British people lack traditional manners.DRegarded as one of the English languages most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that focused on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didnt receive much formal literary education, his own studies and love brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middleclass family, the young John didnt attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his familys friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his fathers death in the early 1800s, followed by his mothers passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply blamed by a magazine. However, the negative response didnt stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律)John Keats next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boys hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrativebased and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” linked to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.32John Keats attitude towards life changed because of _.Ahis early education from schoolBthe deaths of his parentsCEdmund Spensers poetryDthe criticism of a magazine33What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?AThey died of the same disease.BThey had a bad childhood.CThey read many books.DThey showed strong interest in poetry.34While seeking his dream of becoming a poet first, John Keats was _.AdeterminedBexperiencedCknowledgeableDimpatient35What do we know from the passage?AKeats received much formal literary education at school.BKeats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.CIn 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.DEndymion was about a real love story.第二节 七选五(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。One morning last week I looked out of my study window and saw that it was a fine day.
