第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节:(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A It was 7:00 am in Kyoto, Japan, and the taxi company had just called a second time to say they couldn’t find my house. Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow. I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my flight leftand it was an hour and a half trip to the airport.
Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only here times a day. The telephone rang again. “Terribly sorry,” began the man at the taxi company. Then I realized that the taxi company, flooded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house. Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A car went by, the driver and passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour. Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A young man threw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in.
In the most polite Japanese, the man said he was called Mike, with who I had spoken three times that morning. He had left his post in the office and raced here in his personal car. He apologized again, but didn’t explain why a taxi would not pick me up. Delivering me straight to the airport, he refused the 2,000 yen I pressed into his hand.
A few hours later, as the storm-delayed 727 took off, I opened the newspaper. On the second page my eyes caught the headline of a short article: Taxi Strike Begins This Morning in Kyoto. 1. Why did the writer call a taxi early in the morning? A. He wanted to catch a plane.

B. He as unable to find the airport. C. There were few taxis in town.

D. All the buses stopped because of the rain. 2. What was the reason for the taxi company not being able to pick him up? A. More people were riding in taxis on rainy days. B. The writer didn’t give the correct address.
C. The taxi drivers refused to work. D. The taxi drivers didn’t like to drive long distance. 3. The writer got to the airport ____________. A. by riding in Mike’s car from the taxi company
B. with the help of Mike from the post office
C. by getting a lift in a passing car
D. with the help of a taxi driver sent by his company 4. We can learn from the text that the driver was _____________. A. quick-minded at taking action B. a self-employed driver C. unwilling to drive to the airport
D. warm-hearted toward people
B One night Mrs. Riley, an elderly woman, was walking along a dark London street. She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two young men. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard.
The two young men waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs. Riley. The tall one held her from behind while the other one tried to seize her handbag. Suddenly Mrs. Riley threw the tall one over her shoulder. He crashed into the other one and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs. Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag and walked calmly away. The two surprised young men were still sitting on the ground when Mrs. Riley crossed the street towards a door with a lighted sign above it. Mrs. Riley paused, turned round, smiled at them and walked into the South West London Judo Club.

Electric Shocks Can Be Fatal Government statistics recently showed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number of people are killed after contact with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid techniques to deal with such emergencies. What to do? If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch them!
If they are still holding the appliance that has given them shock (e.g. a hair dryer, unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances will you try to move the
appliance with your hand! If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper. The victim must remain lying down. If they are unconscious, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is absolutely necessary.
It is essential to maintain the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation(恢复呼吸. Keep the victim’s head low until professional help arrives.

If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater. 8. What kind of passage is it? A. An advertisement. B. A horror story. C. A news report.
D. First aid emergency advice. 9. The underlined sentence, Under no circumstances will you try to move the appliance with your hand!” implies that
.
A. you should move the appliance that caused it B. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricity C. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your hands D. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands 10. If you can’t turn off the power, you cannot separate the victim from the appliance or the power source by using _________. A. a folded newspaper B. a blanket

C. a broom handle D. a chair

11. When a person has got an electric shock, you should . A. separate the victim from the appliance and let them sit up B. keep the victim warm and help them breathe again C. move the victim onto their side if they have got neck injuries D. keep the victim’s head high until professional help arrives
D A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “What’s the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”
This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren. It reflects Britain’s famous dry and satirical way of seeing the funny side of life. This unique sense of humor is often cited as one of Britain’s defining national characteristics.
“The famous British sense of humor has long been our most cherished national characteristic,” says the British journalist Leo Mckinstry. “We have valued it above historic military victories and great works of literature, above our rich scenic landscape and our talent for invention.”
The British sense of humor differs from other countries because it is generally more negative.
When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more effective than a socially inappropriate joke. Popular British comedy shows such as Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and The office are full of sarcasm(讽刺, teasing and self-deprecation(自嘲. It reflects the culture where mocking, moaning and ridicule is part of everyday life. While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners are often puzzled by them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain found that the British are “arrogant, unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor”.
Do foreigners not understand British humor or are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Mckinstry certainly thinks the British are funny. “Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce that its cars are down-market.” he says.
12. What does the doctor actually mean by the remark, “You’re not eating properly”? A. What you have had is the cause of these problems.
B. You are not having the right food. C. You don’t eat the way people usually do. D. You eat with the wrong cutlery(餐具
13. The word “dry” in Paragraph 2 means _________. A. without water or liquid inside

B. special and popular among school children C. dull and meaningless

D. pretending to be serious when really joking
14. Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain , think that the British are unfriendly? A. Because the British always take things seriously.
B. Because the British have no sense of humor. C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with
D. Because the British have a different sense of humor 15. Which of the following are NOT the characteristics of British humor? A. Dry and satirical B. Negative and mocking C. Encouraging and gentle D. Clever and witty 第二节 (5小题; 每小题2, 满分10

for you to create a more comfortable place for readers. First, there are few new books on the shelves, and most books are not popular today. Second, some books are not sorted in proper order, making it difficult for readers to find what they want quickly. Third, the assistants didn’t offer good service. Instead, they were chatting. In addition, they took no notice of the fact that a light wasn’t working. Leave this state of affairs to stay the same, and I’m afraid there will be fewer and fewer readers in your library. So, for the sake of readers, I suggest that you change all these as soon as possible. Yours, Li Hua
