Just think of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. There’s nothing he loves more than drinking tea and wearing hats. In my country, some hats are popular for everyday wear while others are just for events. At the yearly British horse racing event, Royal Ascot, women wear hats with flowers and bright colors. The men wear stylish bowler hats (圆顶硬呢帽). Rich men in England have liked to wear bowler hats since Victorian times. This showed they were gentlemen. In the 20th century, the hat was famously worn by the British actor (演员) and comedian, Charlie Chaplin. Another popular British hat is the flat cap (鸭舌帽). Workers wore flat caps as they were light and didn’t get in the way. The hat would stay on their head while doing physical work. By the 19th century, the flat cap had become a symbol (象征) of working-class culture. Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, the orphan child, famously wears a flat cap. Bowler and homburg hats have gone out of fashion. But the flat cap is still popular today and it’s a hat I often wear. My granddad and my dad would always wear these caps and I guess I’ve continued the tradition. 28. This passage is mainly about ________. A. hats fashion B. famous actors C. English history D. daily lifestyle 29. What does the underlined word “events” mean in the passage? A. Film festivals. B. Special habits. C. Fashion shows. D. Important activities. 30. What can we know about the flat cap? A. Workers didn’t wear their flat caps at work. B. Many people in the UK wear flat caps now. C. Rich men enjoyed wearing flat caps as well. D. The writer’s family wear flat caps every day. C One day when Jakey went outside to play, he found a stuck possum (被困的负鼠) in the window well. “We’ve got to get that possum out!” Artie and Danny said. They hurried to their workshop in the barn. When Jakey followed, Artie and Danny were already hard at work drawing up plans. “We don’t want to touch the possum,” Artie said. “It might bite. Besides, it looks too big to just lift.” Artie showed Jakey their plan. “First we’ll build a framework over the window well. Then we’ll build a pulley (滑轮) system, levers (杠杆) and a really long rope. If we stand far enough, we can pull that big furball up. And we’ll lower something possums like to eat and use it to get that possum to walk right into the harness (吊带).” “Right!” said Artie. He pulled half of a sandwich from his pocket. It was greenish and looked disgusting. Any possum who ate that sandwich would get sick. Jakey walked around the barn until he found a nice piece of wood. Artie and Danny were so busy with their plans, they didn’t even notice. Jakey pulled it around the side of the house. He slid it into the window well. He wiggled it around until it was slanted (倾斜) against the corner next to the possum. The possum didn’t seem to like sharing the window well with such a thing. It was angry. Jakey climbed up into his treehouse and waited. The possum smelled it, then poked it with one foot. Then it walked up the piece of wood and out of the window well and into the woods behind the barn. Jakey watched the possum run away into the trees. Then he lay on his back and smiled up at the clouds. 31. How did Artie and Danny feel when they showed Jakey their plan? A. Bored. B. Afraid. C. Surprised. D. Excited. 32. From the passage we know Jakey was _________. A. gentle and shy B. patient and kind C. strong and smart D. friendly and cute 33. Which is the best title for the story? A. Perfect Plan B. Saving Possum C. True Friendship D. Great Teamwork D Once you begin to eat potato chips, you may keep eating until the bag is empty. Have you ever experienced this? Why can’t you stop eating these salty chips? Scientists said it is due to a kind of neuron (神经元). Scientists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston have found that some neurons can make us want to eat salt. The neurons take note of whether our bodies are lacking (缺少) sodium (钠), a main part of salt. Then, they send signals to our brain to encourage us to eat more salt, according to the Daily Mail. How do these neurons work? Scientists did experiments on mice. They found that when mice lack sodium, their body gives off a kind of hormone (激素) called aldosterone. This hormone then makes these neurons become active. More research showed that adding salt to meals makes people enjoy their food more, Time magazine reported. Scientists from Deakin University in Australia asked healthy people to eat the same food for lunch for four weeks. The amount of salt in the food was changed each week. At the same time, the scientists measured how much these people ate. They also asked the people how they felt about the meals; for example, if they felt happy or were still hungry after eating. The results showed that salt made people eat 11 percent more food and calories. When eating low-salt meals, they had better control (控制) over how much they ate. “But when we add salt to that food, all of a sudden those controls are gone,” researcher Russell Keast said to Time. 34. What can we learn about the neurons from the passage? A. They make a hormone active when bodies lack sodium. B. They keep telling the body to get more sugar from food. C. The need of sodium starts the activities of some neurons. D. One can’t stop eating chips because he lacks the neurons. 35. As Time magazine reported, ________. A. adding more salt makes food delicious B. less salt in food makes people happier C. people control their weight by eating less food D. people eat more when there is more salt in food 36. What is the writing purpose (目的) of the passage? A. To share stories of salt history. B. To show facts from some studies. C. To tell reasons of getting fat. D. To discuss ways of losing weight. 37. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. This may cause people to go on eating even if they are full. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph2 C. Paragraph3 D. Paragraph 4 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 五、词汇运用 （本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38. I felt even ________ (饥渴的) after drinking so much cola. 39.
