British roads are some of the safest ones in the world. A study in 2010 that compared more than 30 countries found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the U.K. This number was lower than that in any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the U.K.
●People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries do this. Don’t forget that. This also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts(环岛）.
●British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic, then don’t try to push past the vehicles in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn, otherwise people may get angry with you.
●You must stop at traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn’t any other traffic around. In the U.K. you could have lots of trouble if you do this.
●If other drivers flash their car’s lights at you, then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first. British people don’t like to use their car horn much and they think people who do that are rude.
●If you are involved in an accident, then don’t try to pay the police. The police in the U.K. never take money. And if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday by visiting a British prison.
1.When you are driving in the U.K. , what should you do?
A. Drive past slow cars in front of yours.
B. Drive on the right around roundabouts.
C. Sometimes pay the police to avoid trouble.
D. Not go past red lights even when turning left.
2.What do drivers usually mean if they flash their car lights at you when you are driving in the U.K. ?
A. You have done something rude.
B. They would like you to go first.
C. There are possible dangers ahead.
D. They want you to wait for them.
3.What’s the text mainly about?
A. Special traffic rules in the U.K.
B. Advice for safe driving in the U.K.
C. How to deal with traffic accidents.
D. Tips for making the U.K. travel plans.
B
My dog died. Yes, she was very old, deaf, and partially blind. She had long lost her youthful energy. Watching her settle into her bed was as painful for me as it was for her. In the past few months, she had begun to bark at strangers and neighbors. But she used to be friendly even if a child pulled her tail. Knowing her decline doesn’t lessen the loss, however.
My husband had found her abandoned on his farm and brought her home. She was a black and dirty bag of bones who got nervous when we approached. I like to think that the 13 years she spent with us were filled with love. Every so often, though, my husband would remind me that her days were counted, and we agreed that if she showed any signs of pain, we would put her down. No need for her to suffer, no need for us to cling(紧紧抓住）. I prepared myself for her departure.
Yet, when it came on a bright, hot Tuesday afternoon, I wasn’t ready. I was angry about the unfairness of it all. I wanted my two youngest sons, who live out of state, to say their goodbyes. It appears as if we could negotiate with death, with fate. It seems to me that no matter what the circumstances are, we always think we have more time. We fool ourselves to prove our behavior correct. We can’t really live every day as if it were our last. It would be exhausting.
We do love our pets, don’t we? They become a necessary part of the family. So I can’t help but cry. I still look for her in my home office, where she slept. I still expect her to come and sit at my feet or to scramble(快速移动）to the front door when one of the children stops by. And I miss my routine of the walks, the feeding and the bathing. I miss her presence and the sense of her being around the house, but more than anything I miss the knowledge that she loved me so unconditionally and without question.
4.How was the author’s life with her dog?
A. Surprising. B. Boring. C. Joyful. D. Troublesome.
5.What does the author think about living every day as the last day?
A. It is meaningless and exhausting. B. It makes people behave themselves.
C. It helps people value every day. D. It makes people refuse death.
6.How did the author feel when her dog died?
A. She was at a loss about how to deal with death.
B. She was happy that the dog was now free from pain.
C. She was calm because of the preparations for the day.
D. She was heartbroken as if she had lost a family member.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To persuade people to keep a pet.
B. To persuade people to raise a dog.
C. To tell people to cherish their loved ones.
D. To advise people to accompany their pets.
C
Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong actions films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S. and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop groups. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop group in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan ---a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name---and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan---little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. “Be formless, shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
8. What does “ a silly belief ” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. All Chinese people can do kung fu. B. China is most famous for its kung fu.
C. Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture. D. Many Westerners admire kung fu.
9. What inspired the author’s interest in kung fu?
A. Hong Kong action movies. B. A TV program about kung fu.
C. Kung fu stars in Hollywood. D. A US hip hop group.
10. What do we know about the Wu-Tang Clan?
A. They have Chinese culture in their songs.
B. They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.
C. They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.
D. They showed the author the way to live in China.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The author was sorry that he couldn’t do kung fu.
B. The concepts of kung fu change over time.
C. The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.
D. Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.
D
You may not like it, but learning English is absolutely necessary if you want to succeed abroad. Not just that, you have show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency(精通）tests: the IELTS or the TOEFL.
Which test you should take depends on your goal. The TOFEL remains the top exam in the U.S. But the IELTS is gaining ground in the U.S. and it has already been the preferred test in the U.K. and Australia. There are also differences in the tests themselves. They both measure the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, the tests are very different in their form and methodology. “Compared with the TOFEL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explained IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.
The key reasons for this are that the IELTS test required fill-in answers besides multiple choice(选择题）, and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. The examinee is given a topic related to daily life. “The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction(互动）, which reflects real academic and workplace situations,” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai.
What scores do I need? For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs. For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7. When it comes to the TOFEL, there is a range. It all depends on the colleges. Ordinary schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60. For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upward of 100 points on your TOFEL.
12. What does Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. The TOEFL score is preferred in Australian universities.
B. Universities in the U.K. mainly see students’ IELTS scores.
C. The IELTS is more widely accepted than the TOEFL by US schools.
D. In the U.S. , the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was.
13. Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS?
A. There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests.
B. The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills.
C. The IELTS interviews test-takers on the computer.
D. The TOEFL checks four English skills, while the IELTS doesn’t.
14. What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview?
A. More exams should take this exam form.
B. It is helpful in one’s studies and at work.
C. This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed.
D. A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well.
15. Which of the following is correct if you want to go to a top university in the U.K. or U.S. ?
A. A 7 on the IELTS is probably a must.
B. A score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough.
C. You should take both the TOEFL and the IELTS.
D. You need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs.
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。
In today’s fast-paced and sometimes uncaring society, it can be challenging to find anything to lift your spirits when you feel sad. In spite of how bad things may appear, there are some things you can do to get happy and enjoy your day. 16
Get yourself an attitude of gratitude. For centuries, people over the world have recognized how powerful gratitude is when it comes to lifting one’s spirits. Frequently we are so caught up in what we lack that we fail to recognize all that we possess. Often, we are only reminded of the blessings present in the world when we meet someone worse off than we are or when those blessings are no longer a reality. 17 Keep a list of things for which you are grateful-in case you need to jog your memory.
Brighten someone’s day. It may be you who are feeling the blues, but when you brighten someone else’s day, yours automatically becomes brighter Smiles spread easily. 18
Get some fresh air. Fresh air refreshes the senses and makes you more likely to get up and do something rather than sit there in an unpleasant mood. 19 Even just walking in your flower or vegetable garden will do the trick.
___20 Because the heart rate and breathing rate increase during exercise a greater amount of oxygen is delivered to the body tissue. In addition to relieving stress, heightened physical activity will decrease the level of the stress hormone(荷尔蒙). As such, your mood can quickly change from a state of stress to one of joyfulness.
A. Get some exercise.

Dear Committee,
I am writing to provide some feedback related to the marathon I have just attended. Having trained myself for nearly one year, I signed up for the marathon held in our city, during which I not only appreciated the beautiful city scenery and convenient city transportation, but also enjoyed the local audience’s enthusiasm. Moreover, the reasonable racing track and the adequate supply insured the possibility of gaining a better running performance for us. It raining a little bit, I still successfully achieved my personal best.
However, since it’s the first time to hold such a professional event, our ciyt still has a long way to go. I’m wondering if we could pay more attention to organizational details, such as the number of toilets for runners during the race and the training for some inexperienced volunteers.
Hoping our city’s marathon better and better!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
