第二部分：阅读理解（共2-小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint — free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf — over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
36. According to the passage, there is a small charge for _______.
A: attending the masters' class
B: working with local artists
C: learning life drawing
D: seeing an exhibition
37. "Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are _______.
A: common insects
B: impressive plants
C: rarely seen snakes
D: wildlife-enthusiasts
38.Wen can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.
A. to feat pet bears
B. to like walking
C.to be a heavy drinker
D.to finish university in 1805
39. In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake _______.
A: surrounded by fields
B: owned by Lord Byron
C: located in Grantchester
D: discovered by Virginia Woolf
40. What is the passage mainly about?
A: Some places for weekend break.
B: A way to become creative in art
C:. The colourful life in the countryside.
D: Unknown stories of Cambridge University.
B
Grey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass. The ground is white. The day is June 10. It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains. Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail-95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail.
When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass,140 miles south of Missoula, on Aug 12, 1805, he was astonished by what was in front of him; "high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow." Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.
Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures: the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的) gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.
The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to the Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken, I sit on a rock on top of the ridge(山脊). There is no light visible in any direction, not even another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy. In our imagination, we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.
41.According to the passage ,the word "trek " in Paragraph 1 is clothest in meaning to ____
A. a comfortable walk in a separate country B. a pleasant journey across the countryside
C. a journey over untraveled pathways D. a long ,hard journey over rough areas
42. We learn from the text that before 1805 _______.
A: The Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snow
B: There were no people living in the western part of America
C: No Americans knew of the existence of the Rocky Mountains
D: The Appalachians were the western frontier of the United States
43. We learn from the text that the Lolo Pass _______.
A: remains much the same as it was 200 years ago
B: is the meeting point of three cultures
C: has changed a lot since 1805
D: now attracts a large number of tourists to visit
44. Judging from the text, Lewis and Clark were most probably _______.
A: two native Indians
B: explorers of the early 19th century
C: merchants who did business with the Indians
D: travelers whose curiosity took them over the Lolo Pass
45. We can infer from the text that when crossing the Lolo Pass the author _______.
A: was attempting the impossible
B: was trying to set a world record
C: was following the trail of Lewis and Clark
D: was fighting with weather and taking unnecessary risks
C
There's a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too—that's why it made Nov 16 "International Day for Tolerance".
But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (1694—1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance "is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other's folly—that is the first law of nature."
Nobody's perfect. When we're tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don't realize that they're intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN's campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don't put themselves in the shoes of women.
It's worth thinking a little about the words "tolerance" and "intolerance". Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we're speaking here? To agree to be "tolerant" of someone isn't necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there's something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to "tolerate" people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to "tolerate" them?
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That's the reason we should be tolerant.
It's a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: "Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away."
46.According to Voltaire, tolerance is ________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)
D. accepting each other's weaknesses
47.Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?
A. They are used to finding faults.
B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty.
C. They don't see things from the angle of others.
D. They are intolerant of themselves too.
48.In what sense is "tolerance" similar to "generosity"?
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
49.The underlined word "this" in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. giving things to others
B. forgiving others
C. different attitudes toward love and hate
D. the fact that humans are imperfect
50.What's the text mainly about?
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley's song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.
D
Don't we all know a "Happy Meal" when we see one—the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, kid-sized French fries, fruits and milk, served with a toy that's extremely popular with children who love to collect them?
A Happy Meal is a form of kids' meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979. A toy is
included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer, since the company will replace toys with books, and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.
Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you
consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of "catching its customers young"—a move that has paid off very well for the fast food company.
Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and
continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent on caring for these health problems. On November 2, 2010, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law requiring that children's meals sold in restaurants must meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys, to overcome the problem of childhood obesity—in other words, the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.
While some people believe that the fast-food company, with its large following of children,
can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.
51．The aim of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is to ______.
A. give a surprise to the toy lovers
B. make readers think about the answer
C. call on readers to buy boxed meals
D. get readers' attention to the article
52．Books will be added into Happy Meals to______.
A. introduce the use of the toys
B. increase the cost of the meals
C. help kids learn about nutrition
D. spread the message of fast food
53．According to Paragraph 3, Happy Meals ______.
A. cost more money than ordinary meals
B. help the customers stay young
C. c have achieved the desired result
D. receive approval from health supporters
54．What is the author's opinion about Happy Meals?
A. They do no actual good to children's health.
B. They teach children a lot about nutrition.
C. They bring much fun to children.
D. They are popular with the young and the old.
55.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?
A. happy meal – a new advertising method B. the links between and health
C. the importance of eating healthy food D. are happy meals really happy ?
第三部分： 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Seven years ago, my wife told our 6-year-old daughter about our wedding weekend. My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family.
As I was tucking our daughter in (把女儿的被子掖好) later that night, she asked if she could "come home like mommy did" when she got married one day. (Hopefully, one day far off into the future...) I told her our house would always be open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely happy.
After a few seconds, I could see her mind churning (思绪翻腾)—the happiness dissipated. She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low spirits, "Your belly is too big and you are too fat. I don't know if you are going to make it."
I was shocked. It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was building Contegix. I had not thought of it as destroying a future with my family. A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed.
I decided to run a mile the next morning. I couldn't make it 1/4 mile. I didn't give up and went out the next morning.
Seven years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons. I attempted my first 100 miles last August, but I missed the terminal point at mile 87 after running on a torn hamstring (腿筋撕裂) for the previous 79 miles.
Yet, the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the aisle (结婚) one day. I would not make it if it hadn't been for the honesty and innocence of a 6-year-old.
（56）Why was the author's daughter happy? (no more than 15 words)
（57）What does the underlined word "dissipated" in Paragraph 3 mean? (one word)
（58）What happened to the author as he was building Contegix? (no more than 10 words)
（59）What does the author regularly do seven years later? (no more than 5 words)
