We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually good and there arent too many tourists in October.We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive, we couldnt understand the bus routes, and my wife didnt like travelling on the underground. She said it made her feel sick.We went to look at the places which all tourists see. We saw Buckingham Palace and the National Gallery. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theater. We dont have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad. It is true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already booked again for this year. We are going to take our umbrellas, though. Im sure well need them sometimes.24. The author and his wife got around in London _.A. by taxiB. on footC. by busD. by car25.

The couple enjoyed themselves very much in London.B. London is the best place to visit.C. The couple wont travel in London again.D. It seldom rains in London.CEach high school has its own policy. One good example is that some high schools require all students to wear uniforms (校服), while others do not. I have been to both types of school, and if I have to decide which one is better, I will pick the former.Perhaps every student has this experience: once you are in your school uniform, you will care more about your own behavior. Uniforms give you an identity that always reminds that you belong to a group. What you do will not only represent yourself, but also the group you belong to, as well as the people with you. In other words, you carry the responsibility to maintain the honor of the group. When you are in your own clothes, it may be fine to behave badly in public, but when in your uniform, it is not. For high school students, who are not adults yet, this is a good way to shape their behavior.Moreover, uniforms create an atmosphere of equality. While, permitted to wear their own clothes, students may pay much attention to what they wear, in order to show how rich their families are. While in uniforms, all students, rich or poor, look the same, and will be treated equally.Besides, free from the desire to gain what is new in the shopping mall, wearing uniforms helps students to concentrate on their study.For all the three reasons above, I believe that it is a better choice for high school students to wear uniforms.28. According to the author, high schools that require students to wear uniforms _.A. are more attractive to studentsB. are stricter with studentsC. carry out a better policyD. admit more excellent students29. How many reasons does the author give to support his or her idea?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.30. According to Paragraph 2, wearing uniforms helps students _.A. find the club they belong toB. build up their confidenceC. focus on their studyD. become responsible31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A wise choice: to wear school uniformsB. An honor: to wear your school uniformsC. A difficult choice: in your school uniform or not?D. A difficult choice: which school should we pick?DThe first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually nothing more than a list of about 3,000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition (定义).The author, Robert, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he said, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word.In 1755, a man named Dr Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, both easy and difficult, and he had good meanings. He also gave good sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and in writing. By the end of the 1700s, most dictionary-makers had followed Dr Johnsons example. Dictionaries were getting better and better.The 1800s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England, scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a 20-volume (册) work. One of the most interesting features is its word histories. It traces the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.32. The first English dictionary _.A. defined easy words as well as difficult wordsB. was just a list of difficult words with one-word definitionsC. included a number of everyday wordsD. was considered to be a very valuable one33. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about Dr Johnsons dictionary?A. It was not very valuable.B. It was the first modern English dictionary.C. It included easy words as well as difficult words.D. It gave sentences to show the usage of words.34. The most interesting feature of the Oxford English Dictionary was that _.A. it had a complete list of difficult wordsB. it gave sentences showing how each word was actually usedC. it was a 20-volume workD. it showed the history of each word35. This passage is mainly about _.A. the difference of English dictionariesB. the origin of English dictionariesC. the development of English dictionariesD. the features of English dictionaries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。If you asked a teacher in China what makes a good student, he or she would probably tell you that a good student is someone who gets good grades in exams.It is true that most teachers share this opinion. 36 She says that she hates to see her students study day and night under the pressure of exams. These adolescents have no time to relax or hang around with their friends. It is not right to judge a student only by his grades. 37A good student is honest and kind to others. 38 If he does something wrong, he admits his mistakes, and then will quickly say sorry. Whats more, a good student is always ready to help his friends when they are in trouble.39 He makes full use of his time to learn both in and out of class. Hard work truly comes first no matter how brilliant he is. 40 For example, he can play basketball or join some school clubs. In conclusion, he develops in an all-round manner.A. However, one teacher called Shen Hong has a different attitude.B. In other words, he never tells lies to his friends.C. Shen Hong thinks a good student should have the following qualities.D. A good student is one who focuses on his studies.E. Besides studying, he also likes sport and takes part in after-school activities.F.
