M：I want to send this book and these letters to London, please. W：OK, that's two dollars and fifty cents.Do you want to buy any stamps? M：No, thanks. 第二节 Text 6 M：Excuse me.I've come for an interview.The waiter's job.My name is Alex. W：Oh, yes.Mr Kent's expecting you.He's the boss.I'm Maria. M：Hi, Maria.Can I sit here for a minute? W：Of course.You look tired.Haven't you slept well or have you come a long way here? M：Not far but I walked quickly.Could I use the phone? I just want to ring my wife. W：I'm afraid not.We're not allowed to. Text 7 W：Hello, Red Wine Company.May I help you? M：Yes, we've just received the last order of red wine from you and found that it's 5,000 bottles short.We ordered 15,000 bottles but we've just had 10,000 arrived. W：Oh, I do apologize.I don't really understand why this had happened.I'll check with the transport department and call you back within the hour.Is that OK?

W：I need some information for our hospital records.Would you mind if I ask you some questions? M：Of course not. W：Thank you.Do you live with your family or by yourself? M：By myself.My parents died several years ago. W：Do you have any brothers or sisters? M：I only have one sister. W：Is there any type of food that you don't like?

Text 9 W：So what will people in the future be doing？Is there anything different from now? M：Well, for example, we won't be going out to shop in stores anymore.We'll do that on the Internet.Also, people won't be going out to see movies in the cinemas or even to the concerts.They will watch them on computers. W：Sounds amazing. M：Yes.Now the Internet has about five hundred million users, but by the middle of this century more than three billion people will be using the Internet every day. W：It sounds like the whole idea of “going out” will die.How strange! So what does all of this mean for traditional communication? M：I'm afraid people won't be doing much of that.We'll be doing most of our communicating online. W：Do you think we will lose the art of real conversation? M：I think that could be a real problem.I worry that young people will become more lonely without any real face-to-face communication. W：So we shouldn't be glad about the future? M：Well, all I can say is that for better or worse, we'll be leading very different lives. Text 10 W：Hello, everyone.Have you ever been to a cooking class? For one group of children aged between 10 and 15, Saturdays are spent learning the art of serious cooking.Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course.Parents pay $50 for each class where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.Class member Bill, aged 10 says that he thought the teachers would be strict but actually they make the students laugh, especially when the students sit down with the teachers to share the food they've made.Flora is twelve.She says that she loves cooking and she used to do a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed.Then her mother suggested she develop this hobby, instead of doing nothing at weekends.She was happy staying at home, so she wasn't too interested at first.But now, she is really glad she decided to attend the classes.Their teacher, Philippe thinks the course is great fun, and children pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn't always tidy when they're cooking! He suggests that if parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they'll have enough skills to make food for themselves when they leave home. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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。 Top attractions Amsterdam is most famous for its artistic heritage.This tradition is proudly on display in the Rijksmuseum(translates as State Museum)．Once you've taken in all that has to offer, artists, history fans, and families shouldn't pass up the chance to visit the Van Gogh Museum—containing around 700 paintings and drawings by Vincent and his contemporaries, including Gauguin, Monet, and Toulouse-Lautrec. Amsterdam is also home to the Anne Frank Museum, where Anne hid with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.On a lighter note, taking a canal cruise through its extensive waterways is a rewarding way to see the Dutch capital. Art lovers get their kicks at： •The Van Gogh Museum •Rijksmuseum •Museum Het Rembrandthuis Food and drinks Cheese lovers love Amsterdam.You can find an excuse to eat cheese at any time of the day here.Gouda is Holland's favourite, developing a more intense flavour the longer it's aged.Find a selection at the markets, try a cheeseboard at dinner time, or just order cubes with mustard for dipping to accompany a drink. When you're hungry for non-cheese food groups, you'll find Michelin-starred restaurants, vegetarian, and organic restaurants that accompany an array of global cuisine.For old-fashioned and modern Dutch food, try these Amsterdam restaurants: Moeders, Haesje Claes, Loetje, Greetje, and De Silveren Spiegel. Don't leave without tasting： •Patat(hot chips with toppings) •Stroopwafel(waffle cookie) •Chocomel(chocolate milk) Amsterdam Fast Facts Approximate flight times： •NYC/New York 7 hours 20 minutes •Philadelphia 8 hours •Boston 7 hours •Miami 9 hours 45 minutes •Los Angeles 10 hours 15 minutes Entry requirements Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area and have 2 blank pages for entry stamp. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/主要国家地理概况。本文为应用文，介绍了荷兰阿姆斯特丹的旅游景点。 21．Where can visitors see Monet's paintings? A．Rijksmuseum. B．The Van Gogh Museum. C．Museum Het Rembrandthuis. D．The Anne Frank Museum. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段末句可知，参观者在梵高博物馆能看到莫奈的画，故选B项。 22．What is the best choice for a cheese lover? A．Patat.　　　　　 B．Stroopwafel. C．Chocomel. D．Gouda. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据Food and drinks部分首段可知，一个奶酪爱好者的最好的选择是Gouda，故选D项。 23．Who is this tour guide written for? A．Germans. B．Dutchmen. C．Americans. D．Frenchmen. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据Approximate flight times部分可推知，这些都是美国城市，这个旅行指南是为美国人写的，故选C项。 I'd spend every summer vacation with my parents when I was a kid.They used to spend two to four weeks each year travelling.And because we couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, camping was the only way.By the time I left home at 18, I'd visited every province in Canada.As I look back at my camping memories, the one in Battle Harbor stands out most. It takes a long time to drive to Newfoundland from Ontario, especially when you've got six people packed into a minivan.When we arrived on the island, it was raining heavily every day.Therefore, we kept driving north, hoping to avoid it.We jumped onto a ferry(渡船) to Labrador and moved our way up the coast of this less-populated region. The scenery in Labrador is sublime.You can see long white sand beaches along the Atlantic coast that look inviting, but the water is extremely cold.While standing at the top of a lighthouse, my dad said, “This will be the new Caribbean once global warming hits.” We soon discovered Battle Harbor, a historic fishing village.In the mid-1800s it had a population of 350 and was considered the unofficial capital of Labrador.When I was there in 2003, it was more like a ghost town, with some broken fish-drying shelves left, reminding me that fishing trade was common.I clearly remember feeling the furthest from anything that I've ever felt.Multiple ferry rides and 600 miles separated me from the nearest major city of St.John's, which is still considered a remote relative to the rest of Canada. If you're curious about Labrador, I highly recommend a 2013 film called The Grand Seduction.It's a delightful comedy about a small fishing village called Tickle Head that's struggling to figure out its future. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/家庭生活。本文为记叙文，讲述了作家一家在纽芬兰·拉布拉多省旅游时的经历。 24．What happened when the author's family reached Newfoundland?

C．It's a close town to America. D．It's separated from major cities. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段第三句可知，曾经渔业发达的Battle Harbor现在已经变成了“鬼镇”。由此推知，Battle Harbor成了废弃的小镇，故选A项。 27．Why does the author recommend the 2013 film in the end?

The simple answer is no.Not all of Egypt, ancient or modern, qualifies as a desert.Areas near the Nile River tend to be lusher(草木繁茂的), and Egyptians—in both ancient and modern times—have had a successful system of agriculture.However, the environment has changed over Egypt's history, and the construction of the Aswan High Dam across the Nile between 1960 and 1970 changed the landscape greatly. Some areas of Egypt that are now deserts were wetter in the past.One famous example is the “Cave of Swimmers” in southwestern Egypt.Today, the area is very dry, but thousands of years ago, it was wetter, and some of the rock art found in caves in the area appears to show people swimming, according to the British Museum. The Aswan High Dam caused some areas in southern Egypt to flood, leading to the creation of Lake Nasser.Many people had to move, and some archaeological(考古的) sites ended up underwater.The construction of the dam also ended the natural flooding of the Nile.The creation of Lake Nasser also led to more moisture(水分) in the air in some areas of southern Egypt. One effect of the generally higher Nile River levels during the Bronze Age is that around 2,500 BC, when the pyramids at Giza were constructed, the “Khufu branch”， a vanished(消失的) branch of the Nile River, came right next to the pyramids.This branch allowed for materials to be transported to the site by boat, aiding in pyramid construction. The ancient Egyptians who lived by the Nile in some ways viewed themselves as living on an island in the Nile Valley, with the deserts as a sort of great sea. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自然/自然生态。本文为说明文。许多人认为埃及现在的沙漠地区原先一直是沙漠。但是研究表明事实并非如此。 28．What can we know about “Cave of Swimmers”？ A．It used to be very dry. B．The rock art shows it used to be wet. C．It's near the British Museum. D．It shows ancient Egyptians loved art. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，“游泳者洞穴”在数千年前是潮湿的，因为在该地区的洞穴中发现的一些岩画似乎显示了人们在游泳，故选B项。 29．What's the result of the completion of the Aswan High Dam? A．It saves some Egypt archaeological sites. B．It brings in too much trouble for Egyptians. C．It affects Egypt both positively and negatively. D．It leads to more moisture in the air in the whole Egypt. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，阿斯旺大坝对埃及既有积极的影响，如形成湖泊、结束自然洪水、使埃及南部一些地区空气中的水分增加，但也有弊端，如南部一些地区发生洪水导致人们搬迁、考古遗址被淹没在水下，故选C项。 30．How did Khufu branch affect Egypt? A．By making Nile River water level higher. B．By helping people build pyramids more easily. C．By making ancient Egyptians live on an island. D．By leading some branches of the Nile River disappear. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，大约公元前2 500年，在建筑吉萨金字塔时，旁边有一条尼罗河的支流“胡夫支流”，可以将材料通过船运至现场，协助建设，由此可知，“胡夫支流”帮助人们更容易地建造金字塔，故选B项。 31．What is the best title for the text? A．Was Ancient Egypt a Desert? B．Do You Know Deserts in Egypt? C．Was Egypt a Great Country? D．Do You Know Ancient Egypt? 答案　A 解析　标题归纳题。第一段末句提出了文章的主题，然后文章对此问题进行了阐述和解释，因此A项(Was Ancient Egypt a Desert？)是最佳选项，故选A项。 From picture-perfect beaches to mountains, wildlife and iconic structures, New South Wales, Australia, offers plenty to enjoy.This beautiful state is located on Australia's breathtaking eastern coast.Sydney, the capital of New South Wales and Australia's most populated city, accommodates more than 5 million people.

You might enter college with little idea of what you want to study or do after graduation.　38　 A gap year can help you discover your gifts, interests and career direction. One of the disadvantages is that it will use up your savings.An organized gap year program for students can cost up to $10,000 for a three-month trip, according to The New York Times in 2013.　39　 Another disadvantage shows when you get back to school.　40　 Your high school friends will be a year ahead of you in their studies and one year closer to graduation.In order to finish college at the same year as your high school classmates, you will need to take a heavier course load each term. A．Planning a gap year is not an easy job. B．However, there are also potential disadvantages. C．Budget wisely, or you could end up in great debt. D．A gap year provides an opportunity to see the world in person. E．So it's wise to consider all your choices before going to college. F．Returning to school after a gap year can make you feel awkward.

What are you guys doing？” Someone suddenly shouted from behind.Mark and Cody's eyes immediately widened, and without a word they started running.I had no choice but to follow them, getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud.We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down.I stopped to catch my breath and asked, “Who was that？” Mark replied, “The most annoying neighbor ever.If he caught up with us, there's no telling what could happen.He is always making fun of us.I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes.Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes.“Wow! Amazing！” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement.The lake was large and the water was deep and blue, looking so peaceful with tall trees around it. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One possible version： Looking around, we saw a rubber boat floating by the shore.“How about going boating？” Mark asked.“Good idea.” So we three excitedly jumped onto the boat and rowed far out.I was thrilled to find so many fish in the lake.Before I could say a word, Mark had cast the fishing net into the water.“Let's wait and see，” Mark smiled mysteriously.“Look this way.Let me take a photo of you two，” Cody said, taking out the camera.Hearing that, I quickly approached Mark.But all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell into the water. “Help! Help! Help！” I was so frightened and cried for help.However, none of us could swim.Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but in vain.Struggling in the water, I was almost exhausted when I felt myself lifted by someone.It was Mark's neighbor, who followed us there and saw what had happened.Without hesitation, he jumped into the water and I was saved. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
