英语试题卷
注意事项：本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，总分120分，考试时间100分钟。
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）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Restaurants in the USA
Steve’s Pizza
So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成份). New branches of Steve’s are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.
Opening hours: 11am-3am
Cattleman’s Steakhouse
This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.
Opening hours: 5pm-10pm
Absolute Baking & Cafe
The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs – it’s made from scratch, as are the organic(有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake.
Opening hours: 7am-2pm
Walt’s Wharf
Everybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA), Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire–grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.
Opening hours: 11am-3:30pm
1 The new branches of Steve’s Pizza are mainly intended for_________.
A. New Yorkers B. the locals C. tourists D. foreigners
2 Cattleman’s Steakhouse offers the wonderful _________as well as good food.
A. view B. wine C. discount D. service
3 Which restaurant serves both breakfast and lunch?

A young man returns to his hometown of Aracataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, "I will start my life over again. I will become a writer."
This man is the world famous writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928. During his early life, Garcia Marquez's grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says that his grandmother's way of storytelling later influenced his own methods.

And in 1955, he published his first book called "Leaf Storm".
For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather's house in Aracataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez's future success.
In 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was given the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book "One Hundred Years of Solitude", making him the first Colombian and the fourth Latin American to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.

C
Looking back on my childhood，I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War Ⅰ we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.
I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.
Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only selfdiscipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds.
8.ccording to the author,a born naturalist should first of all be_________.
A.full of ambition B.self-disciplined C.full of enthusiasm D.knowledgeable
9.he first paragraph tells us the author________.
A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn’t like his brothers and sisters
D．was born to a naturalist’s family
10.e author can’t remember his relatives clearly because________.
A．he didn’t live very long with them
B．the family was extremely large
C．he was too young when he lived with them
D．he was fully occupied with observing nature
11.e author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he________.
A．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B．lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C．just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
D．comes up with solutions in a most natural way
DIn a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too． There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at all． Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem，which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers, for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere． Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still, the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.12.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA. Internet connections have been popular everywhere． B. Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(农村的)customers． C. The problem of Internet access hasn’t been completely dealt with. D. Computer can’t become popular in developing countries． 13.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.A .make TV and telephone available everywhere B. bring great change to people’s everyday life C. bring faster Internet connections to users D. make it possible for more people to use the Internet14.at may eventually settle the “last mile” problemA. The broadband connection’s getting faster． B. The rapid progress in cell phone technology． C. More and more Internet connections． D. More and more Internet users.15．The best title for this passage may be________． A. Internet Connection Problems B. Internet Connections Need Improving C. Progress in Internet Connections D. Internet Connections Today

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。
Organizing Your Time
You can set a budget for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you’re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it，go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使…最大化)your personal time，rather than cramming(塞满) as much as you can into each day.
● Set a sleep schedule 16 Give yourself a one-hour target window for bedtime in the evening，and set a strict time to get up in the morning．Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need．17
●Take care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care， commuting(乘公交下上班)，work，shopping，eating，and chores(家务).Add in time for anything else you do most days，such as homework，exercise，or an active hobby.18All the time left over is your free time，to use for relaxation or whatever else you want．
● 19 For example，you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip
For many people，an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult．20
A. However, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day．
B．Stick to it，even on weekends
C．Try to combine trips outside the home to maximize your free time
D．Different days call for different approaches．
E．Therefore．you won’t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you’ll fall asleep on time．
F．Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.
G．Put them in a specific order that works for you

Long long ago, there was a large mountainside, where 41 (rest)an eagle's nest with four large eagle eggs. One day 42 earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chicken farm 43 (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind enough to care for the eagle's egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (哺育) and raise the large egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 44 , the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 45 a chicken. The eagle loved his present family, but his spirit cried out 46 more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to notice a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds."
The chickens roared with 47 (laugh), “You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 48 (dream) that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams known, he was told it couldn't be done. That is 49 the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle, follow 50 dreams... not the words of a chicken.

Yesterday, I saw the old lady fall down when I was hurrying to school. I was about to help her up while suddenly a passer-by stop me, saying that I might be accused of knocking her down. Heard his words, I began to hesitate and slowed down my steps. At the same time, another student, that saw everything, went up to help. The old lady said nothing but lots of thank to the good boy.

I have made my mind to reach out my hand without hesitation next time.

Dear Jane,
I am sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in maths and have lost interest in schoolwork. In my opinion, maths is difficult for most students, so there is no need to feel too bad. At this moment, you should cheer up and find ways to reduce your anxiety. Why not go on an outing with your friends or find time to listen to your favorite music? If you can talk to the teachers who you respect most, they may give you some practical advice that helps you to improve. Probably it’s time for you to explore a new learning method which is better and more suitable for you.
Anyway, I hope you can rebuild your self-confidence soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
