One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers once again and drank quietly. This repeated several times and shortly after the locals were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once. A couple of weeks later, the barkeeper decided to clear this out and asked, “I wonder why you order three beers all the time. Could you explain this?” The man replied, “It seems strange, doesn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment. We have made an agreement that every time we go to a pub, each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keep up the family bond.” Soon all the town have heard about the man’s answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity in the town. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man. However, one day the man came to the pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The barkeeper served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town were talking about the news. Some people prayed for the soul of one of the brothers; others felt grieved. When the man came to the pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the barkeeper said to him, “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother.” The man considered this for a moment and then replied, “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. It’s just because I promised myself to give up drinking.” 24.Why did the locals whisper about the man? A.He always ordered three beers at once. B.He always ordered beers in the same pub. C.He quietly drank the three beers he ordered. D.He always drank the beers with the barkeeper. 25.What did the man say about his ordering two more beers? A.It helped keep his family bond. B.It was a good way to stay healthy. C.It helped him drive away loneliness.

C The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history. “The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.” According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power. The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China. There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.” Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife. “The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.” 28.What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery? A.To develop people’s interest in cultures. B.To attract a lot more visitors to China. C.To make Chinese ancient culture known. D.To draw wide attention to modern China. 29.What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special? A.Their special shapes. B.Their nice decoration. C.Their unique materials. D.Their producing method. 30.What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors? A.The greatness. B.The history. C.The application. D.The significance. 31.What might be the best title for the text? A.Learning about China from a gallery B.Researching the culture of ancient China C.Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D.Visiting an amazing museum in China D In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy. One popular option is hotstone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins. Another popular option is hotstone bath. The hotstone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45 ℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as antiaging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted. Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hotstone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America. The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hotstone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain. 32.How does hotstone massage help people discharge their bodies’toxins? A.By making people sweating. B.By relaxing people’s muscles. C.By improving blood circulation. D.By having people’s energy recovered. 30.What is a must when taking a hotstone bath? A.Steam. B.Hot water. C.Thick clothes. D.Heated stone. 34.What can be learned about the hotstone therapy? A.It successfully cured many people of cancer. B.It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American. C.It is popular with people with its excellent effects. D.It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer. 35.In which part of a magazine can we read this text? A.Art. B.Education. C.Society. D.Health. 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。 No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. 　36　 From the day you leave your parents’house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make. If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. You can blame other people for your lack of happiness all life long. 　37　 Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life. The biggest enemy to success is the path of the least resistance. If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. 　38　 If success was easy, everybody would be successful. 　39　 People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future. But that is not the case. Your life changes only to the extent that you change. Nothing will ever change if you don’t change what you do daily. A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office? 　40　 A.However, it doesn’t change anything. B.No one else is responsible for your life. C.Now these questions seem like magic to you. D.Anything else can be the drive for your success. E.That’s because great success requires great efforts. F.There is nothing you can’t achieve with hard work. G.Once you answer these questions, you know what to do. 第三部分　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,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month. My wife Catherine and I were driving along what some people called moose (麋鹿) alley. It was so 　41　 that there were few cars on the road. 　42　, a moose jumped out across our path. I had been driving for years and was 　43　 in driving. In order to avoid 　44　 the moose, I made a quick 　45　 to the other lane. Had I not done that, the moose might have been killed, and my wife and I might have got 　46　, too. A few seconds later, when I stopped and looked back in my rear view mirror, the moose was getting up and then ran into the bush. Shaken but 　47　, we both looked at each other with a surprised expression. From then on, I often thought about the 　48　 between humans and wildlife. We know that animal species have appeared and disappeared 　49　 since life began on the Earth, which is a 　50　 phenomenon. However, animal species have been 　51　 at a much faster rate for about a century now due to human 　52　. Certain philosophers and scientists keep 　53　 that if we don’t save animals, we can’t save ourselves. A better 　54　 of animals gives us a better understanding of our own species. And all animals play roles in nature and have a right to 　55　. Therefore, I think we should try our best to save endangered animals, because humans cannot live on the Earth alone. 41.A.secure B.peaceful C.early D.straight 42.A.Expectedly B.Suddenly C.Eventually D.Obviously 43.A.upset B.gifted C.involved D.experienced 44.A.knocking into B.coming across C.depending on D.searching for 45.A.turn B.profit C.recovery D.decision 46.A.lost B.shocked C.injured D.arrested 47.A.exhausted B.sound C.thrilled D.nervous 48.A.distance B.communication C.circumstance D.relationship 49.A.exactly B.apparently C.continually D.instantly 50.A.strange B.natural C.familiar D.recent 51.A.disappearing B.developing C.remaining D.changing 52.A.rights B.promises C.activities D.crises 53.A.warning B.wondering C.complaining D.remembering 54.A.treatment B.control C.world D.knowledge 55.A.escape B.survive C.refuse D.choose 第二节　(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Have you ever heard about the Italian people using their hands, feet, and all the other parts of their body while they’re talking? Your answer is: Yes? No worries if you haven’t heard this about German people. 　56　 only reason for this is that we’re not that 　57　 (express) with our body gestures and body languages like other nations are. But have you heard about German eye contact? They like to keep eye contact 　58　 (constant). I’ll tell a little side story 　59　 (help) you understand nonverbal communication in German: My grandparents travelled in Africa for three months last year. They don’t speak any French or English at all. All they know is German. After they came back home, I asked them what they 　60　 (do) if they wanted to make themselves 　61　 (understand) to the locals. Their answer was: Boy, 　62　 our hands and feet. 　63　 I want to show you here is that body language plays such a significant part in our daily life. When you master the common expressions in German, your 　64　 (interact) with locals will improve immediately. Body language isn’t often covered by German language teachers. 　65　 (learn) some basic principles and gestures will help you right from the start. 56.　　　　　57.　　　　　58.　　　　　59.　　　　　60.　　　　 61.　　　　　62.　　　　　63.　　　　　64.　　　　　65.　　　　 第四部分　写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节　(满分15分) 假定你是李华,你校举办了一场主题为“五彩缤纷的秋天”的摄影展。请你为校英文报写一篇报道,介绍这次展览,内容包括: 1.时间、地点; 2.作品介绍; 3.活动意义。 注意:写作词数应为80左右。 Photos of colorful autumn _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节　(满分25分) 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us 17-year-olds had any idea what to do. “Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times,” answered Brian with a frown. Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally I decided to speak. “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on?” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding. I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive. Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... It...” I let out a long breath. “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...” “Hmm.” My dad thought out loud. “There’s a seniors’home close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.” I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacular (绚丽的) New Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Next Sunday evening, our youth group met. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ On New Year’s Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’home in the snow. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ 参考答案 听　　力 1~5　BAABC　6~10　CBACB　11~15　ACBBA　16~20　BACBC 阅　　读 A 文章介绍了四个世界知名的主题公园。 21.A　根据Everland部分第2句可知,该公园有非洲狩猎之旅和许多惊险的游乐设施,因此喜欢刺激和狩猎的游客可能会选择Everland。 22.D　根据Blackpool Pleasure Beach部分可知,该公园的与众不同之处是它拥有世界上最大的室内骑乘设施。 23.D　根据末段第2句可知,这个位于Costa Daurada的西班牙主题公园分为六个主题区域,其中包括中国区。 B 有一个人为了维系家庭纽带,每次去酒吧都点三杯啤酒(其中两杯是为他远在国外的兄弟而点的)。后来有一天这个人点了两杯酒,于是人们以为他的某位兄弟去世了。而实际情况是,这个人想要戒酒。 24.A　根据第1段最后一句可知,这个人每次去酒吧,都是一次性点三杯啤酒,当地人对此有些议论。 25.A　根据第2段末句可知,这个人认为多点两杯啤酒的做法能维系家庭纽带。 26.B　根据第3段可知,当地人知道情况后,把他的故事讲给来小镇的游客听,甚至邀请他们去酒吧看这位每次都点三杯啤酒的人。由此推测,当地人非常敬佩这个人。 27.D　根据最后两段可知,人们误以为他的某位兄弟去世了。由此推出,一些人为此感到悲伤。 C 位于加利福尼亚州丹维尔的黑鹰博物馆中国展厅,让人们得以了解中国古代的艺术、文化和历史。 28.C　根据第2段第1句可知,黑鹰博物馆中国展厅的目的是让更多的人了解中国古代文化。 29.D　根据第5段第2、3句可知,这里的馆藏艺术品的制作方法和中国古代工匠使用的方法一致,这是其特别之处。 30.A　根据末段可知,Greg Gregory从兵马俑的制作时长以及兵马俑给他带来的震撼等方面谈论兵马俑的伟大之处。 31.A　本文主要介绍位于加利福尼亚州丹维尔的黑鹰博物馆中国展厅这里向游客展示中国古代的文化。 D 作者主要介绍了热石疗法对人的身体健康的益处。 32.A　根据第2段第3句可知,热石按摩能通过促进人体排汗帮助人们排毒。 33.D　根据第3段可知,进行热石浴时,人们不需要热水,也不需要蒸汽,只需要穿上舒适的衣服躺在温度约为45摄氏度的石块上即可。 34.C　根据末段可知,热石疗法能治疗许多疾病,广受人们的欢迎。 35.D　本文主要介绍了热石疗法对人的身体健康的益处,因此我们可能在某杂志的健康版块读到这篇文章。 补 全 短 文 36~40　BAEFG 完 形 填 空 在一次差点和麋鹿相撞的经历之后,作者开始思考人类与野生动物的关系。他认为我们应该保护野生动物,因为保护它们就是在保护人类自己。 41.C　根据上文可知,该处指早上太早了以至于路上几乎没有车。 42.B　根据下文可知,一只麋鹿突然跳出来。 43.D　根据上文可知,作者开车数年,在驾驶方面有经验。 44.A　作者迅速转向另一个车道,目的是避免和麋鹿相撞。 45.A 46.C　如果作者没有那样做,这头麋鹿可能就被撞死了,作者和妻子也可能会受伤。 47.B　作者和妻子没有撞到麋鹿,虽然受到惊吓,但没有受伤,安然无恙。 48.D　根据下文可知,作者考虑的是人和野生动物之间的关系。 49.C　我们知道,自生命在地球上出现以来,物种就不断出现和消失。 50.B　结合常识可知,物种的出现和消失是自然现象。 51.A　然而,由于人类的活动,物种在近百年内消失的速度快得多。 52.C 53.A　哲学家和科学家不断地发出警告,如果我们不挽救动物,我们就无法挽救自己。 54.D　更好地了解动物,才能更好地了解我们人类。 55.B　所有动物在自然界中都有自己的角色,它们都有权利生存。 语 法 填 空 56.The　57.expressive　58.constantly　59.to help　60.would do　61.understood　62.with 63.What　64.interaction(s)　65.Learning 写　　作 第一节 One possible version: Photos of colorful autumn A photographic exhibition, named “Colorful Autumn”, was held in the Art Center of our school this afternoon.

The photos express the colorful autumn scenery in many ways, such as beautiful red leaves, fallen leaves against the blue sky and white clouds, and various flowers that bloom in autumn.

They’ve also brought us closer to nature, inspiring us to appreciate and protect nature. 第二节 One possible version: Next Sunday evening, our youth group met. My fellows put forward several suggestions and I also contributed Dad’s idea for discussion. To my pleasant surprise, the New Year light tour won their hearts. We called the seniors’ home and they were thrilled about our proposal. The following weeks, we were busy lining up everything for the tour, including the bus to drive the seniors along the planned route. On New Year’s Day, the bus we rented arrived at the seniors’ home in the snow. Despite the cold, the snow added a magical white blanket to the neighborhood. All residents slowly found seats on the bus and the tour began. The spectacular light displays lit up their faces and I even saw some eyes filled up with tears. Returning to the seniors’ home, they couldn’t stop talking about all they’d seen and thanked us again and again. Looking at their excited and grateful faces, we felt warmer than before. 附: 听力部分录音材料 (Text 1) M:Mary, it’s ten past ten now. When will you get home for the party? W:It’s still early.

The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger, and contains thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper stage to perform concerts and plays. Despite all these changes, the school rules remain the same. Be respectful, be on time, and always do your best. Thank you. ( 第 20 页 共 20 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
