假期学习成效检测卷·英语 (时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分60分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 阅读理解 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。 Settled by the Celts, invaded by the Romans and the Normans, and ruled by the English, Wales’ population has regularly changed over the ages. Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot (熔炉) of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coal mines of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce (劳动大军) there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay. But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas. The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a lack of housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe. As so many Welsh people have moved to other countries over the last 200 years, it’s really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh’s development. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside. 1. Why was South Wales so attractive to people in the early 20th century? A. Because its coal industry needed a large number of workers. B. Because it was rich in many different kinds of culture. C. Because people could buy holiday homes there. D. Because people could get the highest pay there. 2. What does the writer want to tell us in the second paragraph? A. Many people got tired of city life at this time. B. The working conditions were terrible at this time. C. Welsh workers couldn’t get any pay for their work. D. The number of rural population of Wales grows slowly at this time. 3. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Wales a land with a promising past and future B. Wales, a land with a population on the move C. Wales, the biggest melting pot of Europe D. Tourism, the main income source of Wales 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了威尔士在不同时期因为不同因素而造成的人口迁移情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句“”At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coal mines of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce (劳动大军) there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay.可知起初，来自英格兰、爱尔兰和威尔士农村地区的工人涌入南威尔士的煤矿。到1911年，来自爱尔兰、意大利和西班牙的工人加入了那里的工业劳动力队伍。这些新来者中的许多人已经准备好接受较低的工资。20世纪初，为什么南威尔士对人们如此有吸引力是因为它的煤炭工业需要大量的工人。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas.”可知，1891年，威尔士的农村人口约为61.6万。到1911年，有超过64.9万人在这些地区生活和工作此时威尔士的农村人口数量增长缓慢，故选D。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了威尔士在不同时期因为不同因素而造成的人口迁移情况。所以短文的最佳标题为“ 威尔士，一个人口流动的国度”。故选B。 B The name England comes from the words “Angle land”. The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left. The French name for England is Angleterre, which also means “Angle land”. There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called Anglo－Saxons. The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany). England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West－Saxon). The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example, the name Sussex comes from South－Saxon, Essex from East－Saxon, and East Anglia from East－Angle. The Vikings then came from Denmark, and later the Normans invaded from France. Eventually England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were united, forming the United Kingdom. The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents. It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings). There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language, mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire). 4. What's the first paragraph mainly about? A. The origin of the name England. B. The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason. C. Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes. D. Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany. 5. In the history of England, ________ once was the strongest kingdom. A. Sussex B. Wessex C. Essex D. East Anglia 6. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. English words are hard to spell and to pronounce. B. England had been invaded by most of the countries of Europe. C. The English language was influenced by several foreign languages. D. It's hard for people who have different English accents to communicate. 7. Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays? A. Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school. B. Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future. C. Because they have moved from other countries. D. Because they have worked in other countries. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英格兰的历史，包括英格兰名字的由来以及外来人口对英语语言的影响。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The name England comes from the words “Angle land”. The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left. The French name for England is Angleterre, which also means “Angle land”. (英格兰这个名字来源于“天使之地”这个词。盎格鲁人是5世纪和6世纪时罗马人离开后从德国北部来到这里的。英格兰的法语名字是Angleterre，意思是“天使之地”。)”可知第一段内容主要是介绍英国这个名字的由来。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West－Saxon). (英格兰最初成为一系列王国，其中最强大的是威塞克斯(这个名字来自于西撒克逊)。)”可知威塞克斯曾是英格兰诸多王国中最强大的王国，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents. It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings).(英语是整个英格兰的主要语言，尽管有许多不同的口音。有些英语单词很难拼写或发音，因为这种语言一直受到拉丁语和希腊语（罗马人时代使用的语言，直到最近也还一直用于宗教和教育）、德语（盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人的语言）、法语（诺曼人的语言）、盖尔语/苏格兰语（凯尔特语）的影响语言）和丹麦语（维京人的语言）的影响。”可知第三段主要介绍了英语受到了Latin,Greek,German, Gaelic, Scots, Danish等几种外国语言的影响，故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language, mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire).(现在有很多人在英国讲一门外语作为第一或第二语言,主要是由于移民来自欧洲或英联邦(国家曾经是大英帝国的一部分)。)”可知，现在很多英国人都说外语是因为他们是从其他国家移民过来的。故选C项。 C It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries. Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours’ property while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes have been set up in the UK. The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger. When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone’s house if they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows. Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are also being made. 8 The “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme in Mollington was started ________. A. as the first of its kind in the UK B. after 50,000 burglaries in the area C. because the police were short of hands D. because it was a popular holiday centre 9. The job for members of a “Watch” group is to ________. A. do their best to catch burglars B. ask strangers to leave at once C. help those who are in trouble D. report a burglary to the police 10. What does the author think of the scheme? A. He doubts it. B. It is worrying. C. It is successful. D. He is uncertain about it. 11. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To advise. B. To discuss. C. To educate. D. To introduce. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国“社区守望”计划的起源、目的及成效。该计划起源于莫林顿村，旨在通过村民自发组织互相监视邻居财产，预防盗窃等事件发生。计划实施后，盗窃案件减少，社区凝聚力增强，促进了邻里间的相互关心和友谊。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours’ property while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ schemes have been set up in the UK. (村民们想出了一个办法，那就是当他们外出度假时，他们可以亲自照看邻居的财产。从那时起，在政府和警方的帮助下，英国已经建立了5万多个“社区守望”计划)”可知，Mollington的“社区守望”计划是作为英国同类计划中的第一个开始的。故选A项。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the police who check out each report and find out what is happening. (每个加入该计划的村民都同意尽自己最大的努力阻止任何人在村里偷东西。一切都平静而仔细地进行着——警察检查每一份报告，并找出发生了什么事情)”可知，“守望”小组成员的工作是向警察报告盗窃事件。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Since the ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are also being made. (自“社区守望”计划实施以来，盗窃案件减少了，社区精神也焕然一新。它使人们前所未有地团结在一起，鼓励人们互相关心。新的友谊也在不断建立)”可推知，作者认为这个计划是成功的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries. Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours’ property while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ schemes have been set up in the UK. (这一切都始于几年前莫林顿这个安静的村庄发生的一系列盗窃案。村民们想出了一个办法，那就是当他们外出度假时，他们可以亲自照看邻居的财产。从那时起，在政府和警方的帮助下，英国已经建立了5万多个“社区守望”计划)”及结合文章主要介绍了英国“社区守望”计划的起源、目的、作用以及实施效果。由此推知，本文的目的是介绍“社区守望”计划。故选D项。 D C Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture. In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They build themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s. The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hiversum. Most radio stations called in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town. In the early 1900s, modern architcts W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characters. His masterpiece, Hilversum Town Hall, was built in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum. 12. Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that ______. A. it has a large population B. it is cut off from big cities C. it has many beautiful gardens D. it is in a hilly area with sandy soil 13. What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum? A. Building a railway link to Amsterdam B. Helping its textile industry to develop C. Constructing large villas for the poor D. Assisting its agricultural industry 14. The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of ______. A. a radio factory B. the medial capital C. a radio station D. a TV station 15. What is known about W.M. Dudok’s Hilversum Town Hall? A. It consists of approximately 75 buildings B. It looks like an open air museum in the city C. It is a classic example in architecture textbooks D. It has shaped most of 20th century Hilvesum. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了荷兰Hilversum这一地区的地貌特征、工业发展和现代建筑。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段第二句“Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually a hilly area”可知Hilversum不同于荷兰其他地方之处在于它属于沙土丘陵地带。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第三句They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.可知, 他们在纺织业取得巨大成功后搬了进来，并帮助了希尔弗瑟姆的纺织业。所以 Brennikmeijers为Hilversum 的纺织业做出了巨大的贡献。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段首句The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hiversum. 可知, 向媒体经济的转变始于1920年，当时Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF)在Hiversum建立了一家无线电工厂。所以Hilversum传媒业兴起的兴起是以一家无线电厂的建立为标志的。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第三、四句It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks可知，它具有广泛的国际声誉，并被列入许多建筑教科书。所以W. M. Dudok’s Hilversum Town Hall是建筑教科书中的一个典范。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文作者描述了家中通信工具的变化，指出人们现在很少面对面交流，并建议人们合理利用科技，创造更美好的生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her.(我最早的记忆之一是看着我妈妈用我们的旧电话说话。我很着迷于她能和一个不在房间里的人说话。)”可知，作者对于妈妈能够和一个与她不在同一个房间的人说话感到好奇，这吸引了作者，空处承接上文，因为被吸引了，所以会在妈妈走后盯着电话。G项：When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.(当她离开房间时，我慢慢地走到电话前，盯着它看了一会儿。)符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart phones. These days I can send an e­mail around the world in a second.(后来，我们有了可以在房间里随身携带的手机。然后是电脑和智能手机。现在我可以在一秒钟内发送一封电子邮件到世界各地。)”可知，作者阐述了随着时间的变化，家中的通信工具也发生了变化。A项中的“a long time ago”和下文中的“later”，“then”，“these days”对应。A项：That was a long time ago.(那是很久以前的事了。)符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.(很少有人愿意花时间面对面交谈。我们盯着屏幕，而不是看着我们所爱的人的眼睛。似乎联系最紧密的一代人也是最孤独的一代人。)”可知，本段主要讲述现在我们很少面对面交流了。F项：However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.(然而，令我困扰的是，现在我们彼此很少交往。)符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Don’t let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on.(不要让科技占用我们的时间，毁了我们的生活。腾出时间来见面、祈祷和彼此交流。和朋友在沙滩上散步。关掉电话，开着心进行长时间的交谈)”可知，作者认为我们不能让科技占据我们太多的时间，我们应该花时间见面交流。B项：Connect offline as well as online.(既要网上联系，也要网络之外联系。)符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据下文“But when it can’t, turn it off.(但是当它不能的时候，把它关掉。)”可知，空处和下文形成转折关系，说明使用科技的情况。E项：When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.(当你的技术可以帮助你做这些事情时，那就使用它。)符合语境。故选E。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.

I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags. My mother had to shop every carefully as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia (百科全书) caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase. All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia. “Could we get one?” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninety-nine cents.” I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia,” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset. The next Saturday. my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped (扣上拉链) up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious. Paragraph1: My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. I paid the dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder. It was a big detective. “You stole something. You will be searched.” he announced. Horrified, I slid the book out from inside the shirt and handed it over. “An encyclopedia?” he asked, somewhat surprised. “Yes,” I whispered, trembling. “Why didn’t you ask your parents to purchase it?” “I did, but they didn’t have the money.” With a sigh, he made me promise to tell my parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave. Paragraph 2: Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. Unexpectedly, she didn’t explode as usual. She fell silent, looking extremely anxious. Consumed with guilt, I gathered my courage, apologized and promised that it would never happen again. “All will be OK!” said my mother, wrapping me in her arms. Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should play outside. Hours later, when I was back home, I noticed a bag with my name on it. I opened it and packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia, volume I. 【解析】 【分析】本文以百科全书为线索展开，讲述作者和妈妈一起去买东西时，在货架上看到了百科全书。但是家里的经济条件负担不起这本书，所以妈妈拒绝给他买书。在那之后，有一次他自己去买东西的时候发现只剩下一本，所以他偷了书，结果被警察抓住。他把偷书的事请告诉了妈妈，承认了错误，最后妈妈给他买了这本百科全书。 【详解】1. 段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“我朝收银台走去，心跳得很快。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要偷书，内心恐惧不安，最后被警察抓住。 由第二段首句内容“回家后，我把对警察的承诺告诉了妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写作者把偷书的事情及对警察的承诺告诉妈妈，最后妈妈给作者买了书。 2. 续写线索：偷书——被抓——承诺——回家——告诉妈妈——妈妈买书 3. 词汇激活 行为类 买：paid for/purchase 让/使：made/let 说：said/announced/told/whispered 情绪类 惊奇：surprised/horrified 【点睛】[高分句型1] I paid the dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder. （由when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Consumed with guilt, I gathered my courage, apologized and promised that it would never happen again.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句作promised的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 假期学习成效检测卷·英语 (时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分60分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 阅读理解 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。 Settled by the Celts, invaded by the Romans and the Normans, and ruled by the English, Wales’ population has regularly changed over the ages. Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot (熔炉) of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coal mines of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce (劳动大军) there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay. But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas. The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a lack of housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe. As so many Welsh people have moved to other countries over the last 200 years, it’s really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh’s development. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside. 1. Why was South Wales so attractive to people in the early 20th century? A. Because its coal industry needed a large number of workers. B. Because it was rich in many different kinds of culture. C. Because people could buy holiday homes there. D. Because people could get the highest pay there. 2. What does the writer want to tell us in the second paragraph? A. Many people got tired of city life at this time. B. The working conditions were terrible at this time. C. Welsh workers couldn’t get any pay for their work. D. The number of rural population of Wales grows slowly at this time. 3. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Wales, a land with a promising past and future B. Wales, a land with a population on the move C. Wales, the biggest melting pot of Europe D. Tourism, the main income source of Wales B The name England comes from the words “Angle land”. The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left. The French name for England is Angleterre, which also means “Angle land”. There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called Anglo－Saxons. The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany). England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West－Saxon). The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example, the name Sussex comes from South－Saxon, Essex from East－Saxon, and East Anglia from East－Angle. The Vikings then came from Denmark, and later the Normans invaded from France. Eventually England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were united, forming the United Kingdom. The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents. It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings). There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language, mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire). 4. What's the first paragraph mainly about? A. The origin of the name England. B The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason. C. Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes. D. Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany. 5. In the history of England ________ once was the strongest kingdom. A. Sussex B. Wessex C. Essex D. East Anglia 6. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. English words are hard to spell and to pronounce. B. England had been invaded by most of the countries of Europe. C. The English language was influenced by several foreign languages. D. It's hard for people who have different English accents to communicate. 7. Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays? A. Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school. B. Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future. C. Because they have moved from other countries. D. Because they have worked in other countries. C It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries. Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours’ property while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes have been set up in the UK. The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger. When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone’s house if they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows. Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are also being made. 8. The “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme in Mollington was started ________. A. as the first of its kind in the UK B. after 50,000 burglaries in the area C. because the police were short of hands D. because it was a popular holiday centre 9. The job for members of a “Watch” group is to ________. A. do their best to catch burglars B. ask strangers to leave at once C. help those who are in trouble D. report a burglary to the police 10. What does the author think of the scheme? A. He doubts it. B. It is worrying. C. It is successful. D. He is uncertain about it. 11. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To advise. B. To discuss. C. To educate. D. To introduce. D C Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture. In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They build themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s. The change to a media economy started in 1920 when the Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hiversum. Most radio stations called in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town. In the early 1900s, modern architcts W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characters. His masterpiece, Hilversum Town Hall, was built in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum. 12. Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that ______. A. it has a large population B. it is cut off from big cities C. it has many beautiful gardens D. it is in a hilly area with sandy soil 13. What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum? A. Building a railway link to Amsterdam B. Helping its textile industry to develop C. Constructing large villas for the poor D. Assisting its agricultural industry 14. The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of ______. A. a radio factory B. the medial capital C. a radio station D. a TV station 15. What is known about W.M. Dudok’s Hilversum Town Hall? A. It consists of approximately 75 buildings B. It looks like an open air museum in the city C. It is a classic example in architecture textbooks D. It has shaped most of 20th century Hilvesum. 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone.

I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags. My mother had to shop every carefully as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia (百科全书) caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase. All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia. “Could we get one?” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninety-nine cents.” I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia,” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset. The next Saturday. my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped (扣上拉链) up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious. Paragraph1: My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
