As we enjoyed our coffee, a man called the waiter and placed his order, “Two cups of coffee, one on the wall.” We got interested and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter attached a piece of paper to the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee.” Similar occasions took place twice while we were there. It seemed that this gesture was quite normal at this place. However, it was something unique and confusing for us.After a few days, when we again enjoyed coffee there, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard or the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from his looks. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.Now it was no surprise for us; the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by people in this town moved us to tears.Coffee is not a necessity. However, the point is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who also appreciate that specific blessing but cannot afford.Note the waiter, who gets the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face. Think about the man in need: he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-dignity; he has a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about who has given this cup of coffee to him; he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left. Besides, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of people in this town.24. What made the author interested as well as confused?A. The waiters making normal gestures.B. Customers buying coffee for the needy.C. The waiters attaching coffee orders on the wall.D. Customers paying for coffee and having it put on the wall.25. The author thought the man in need was _.A. not properly dressed B. obviously poorC. not right to leave without paying D. strange to order coffee from the wall26. In the authors opinion, coffee is _.A. necessary in our lifeB. respect shown for the needyC. a blessing to someone who cant affordD. a blessing everyone should have英语 10-4 （全卷共10页）27. The passage is mainly concerned about _.A. learning from the waiterB. buying coffee for othersC. caring more about the people in needD. analyzing the characters in the coffee shopCCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young ( less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs ), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission (服从).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.28. Which below is closest in meaning to the word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1?A. Smoothly. B. Briefly. C. Quickly.D. Early.29. When are some cats and dogs likely to fight with each other?A. They are introduced at an early age.B. They are cold to each other.C. They misunderstood each others signals.D. They stared at each other.30. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.A.are less different than we thought B.have common interestsA. are less intelligent than we expected D.have a common body language英语 10-5（全卷共10页）31. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. To live in peace with animals.B.To live in harmony.C.To know more about animals. D.To learn body signals.DHow crowded your neighborhood is can affect the health of our planet, a new study finds. Scientists measured the effect that people have on the environment using a carbon footprint. That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas that is sent into the atmosphere because of peoples daily activities.Carbon footprints tend to be low for citizens. Living in a suburb outside a city, however, can be opposite.People living in the city centers have low carbon footprints, the researchers found. “It is much easier to have a low carbon effect if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,” explains Jones. Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide compared with moving people by cars. And cities with bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping the amount of greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs may offer better schools to kids. But those homes are usually far away from where owners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances.The average household in a large city sends out about 40 tons of carbon dioxide per year. The average suburban household, however, sends out close to 50 tons of carbon dioxide per year.The New findings are an important contribution to climate research. They would give scientists a better feel of how culture might mix with locations to influence our carbon footprints.You may not have any control over the location of your home. Still, everyone can take steps to shrink their carbon footprints. Thats because how much we pollute is influenced not just by where we live, but also by how we live.To shrink your footprints, start small. Turn off lights when theyre not in use. Recycle or reuse things instead of throwing them away. And as people get used to making small changes, the leap to bigger ones will get easier.32. Why do people living in suburbs have higher carbon footprints?A. Because they often drive to work, play or do other things.B. Because their homes take up too much space.C. Because they often use buses and subways to travel great distance.D. Because they have to send their kids to schools by car.33. How are Paragraph 3 to 5 mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following time order.D. By explaining processes.英语 10-6 （全卷共10页）34. We can infer from the passage that _.A. people living in big cities produce more carbon dioxideB. culture plays the most important role in influencing the environmentC. any process of making new products may pollute the environmentD. ones small step can make a big difference to the environment35. From which part of a website could this passage probably be taken?A. Health.B. Sports.C. Culture.D. Environment.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。Nowadays an increase in cyber-attacks and identity theft make the Internet seem like a scary place these days. This raises a question: How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information? Here are several tips that can help you protect against cyber-attacks:Make your password harder to hackHard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. 36 . They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pets name or the name of a family member.37A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. Hackers are better able hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password. A password management service, like Dashlane or PasswordBox, can help you keep track of hard passwords. 38 .Do not use free WIFIAn increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet. 39 . These services might be useful, but theyre also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.40For many people, not using a public computer can be difficult. Those without a computer or Internet access at home often use Internet cafes to get online. However, the more different people use a computer, the more likely a virus has infected it.A. Watch what you click.B. Change your password regularly.C. Try not to use public computers.D. Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks.E. They should be at least eight characters in length.F. These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.G. They can also spread viruses easily across computers and networks.英语 10-7 （全卷共10页）第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I work as the reception manager at my hotelA(n) 41 came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that the guest would be travelling with her 42 fatherJust so that we would be aware when 43 with them when they arrived as his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as 44 as possibleUpon seeing this note and noting I would be the one to 45 them in，I decided to learn some basic 46 languageI greeted the guest in my usual way， 47 for the surname on the bookingOnce I heard the name I 48 immediately who was standing in front of meI had been learning for over two 49 how to say “welcome to IrelandMy sign language is 50 ，but if you need anything during your 51 just let me know and we will help you”I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me，turning to the father who I greeted in sign language and began the bit I had 52 for himThe father smiled and was so 53 Seeing his reaction was 54 for meIt was so worth the last few weeks of learning basic sign languageOn check-out I sadly wasnt 55 ,but they had left a gift for me with a note saying “thank you very much for what you did on check-inMy father has been in 56 form since you checked us in and insisted we get you a 57 before we leftYou have no idea how much this 58 to my father and me and we cant thank you enoughYouve made his trip very special with one simple 59 ”They wrote a letter to the general manager also asking to give me a raise which I really 60 I cried for a solid 5 minutes when I came to work today to find this gift in my locker.41Aguest Binvitation Cbooking Dwarning42Adeaf Bblind Cforgetful Dstubborn43Adiscussing Bdealing Ccooperating Dbargaining44Asoon B1ong Cformal Dsmooth45Aguide Binvite Ccheck Ddrive46Abody Bsign Cofficial Dforeign47Aasking Bpaying Ccharging Dapplying48Agreeted Bdecided Cforgot Drealized49Ahours Bdays Cweeks Dmonths英语 10-8（全卷共10页）50Afluent Bterrible Cstandard Dhelpful51Astay Btravel Cstudy Ddinner52A1earned B1eft Cbooked Dbought53Akind Btired Cpolite Dhappy54Afair Benough Cnatural Dregular55Asleeping Bnoticing Cworking Dwaiting56Ahealthy Bnormal Camazing Dhopeful57Ajob Bgift Csurprise Dchance58Ameant Bdevoted Cattached Dowed59Aword Bnote Ccomment Dgesture60Adeserved Bdoubted Cappreciated Dsuggested第卷第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Chinas homegrown sci-fi blockbuster(大片）The Wandering Earth scored at the Spring Festival box office.
