Last summer I was a volunteer at a
shelter for the homeless, a place for
homeless
people to sleep at night. I wasn’t working that
summer and was 16
only two classes in
summer school, so I had some free time.
Three
nights a week, I helped in the kitchen of the
shelter along with other
four volunteers. We
planned and 17 hot meals of vegetables, chicken,
fish and
fruit for 45 people. The homeless
people needed this good food because many of
them usually don’t eat well. They were very
grateful.
I 18 this volunteer work very much
and made 19 with the four volunteers
in the
kitchen. One was a very nice elderly housewife,
one a movie actor, another
a young teacher,
and the other a college student, like me.
I
talked to a lot of the homeless people at the
shelter. Their life stories
filled me with
sympathy. Some of them had 20 with alcohol or
drugs while others
only had bad luck. One
woman worked for almost 30 years for a small
company, and
then she lost her 21 . She
looked for a new job, but couldn’t find one, as
she

was too 22 . She
could do nothing but sell her furniture — sofas,
chairs, and
tables so that she could pay for
her 23 .The woman went on job hunting, but
she still couldn’t find one. She had no money
for her 24 and had to sleep in
her car. Then
she had to sell her car. Alone, 25 , and
homeless, she finally
came to the shelter.

三、阅读(共两节;满分45分)
第一节
阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项
涂黑。
(A)
It was meant to be the holiday of a
lifetime—my first trip abroad alone,
without
my parents. I had organised everything myself and
I would show them how
independent I could be.
I had arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside
a village in southern Italy.
My schedule said
that the plane would arrived in Italy at five
o'clock in the
afternoon and it was a thirty-
minute drive from the airport to the village. I
wanted to get to my destination before it got
dark, so I could have a drink,
3
B.
friends C. food D. furniture
B.
cottage C. building D. flat
B. shy
C. shocked D. mad
watch the
sunset and enjoy an evening meal.
The problems
began at the airport. My plane was three hours
late taking off. I
walked around the airport,
looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the
cafes. I
didn't eat anything. That was a
mistake! When the plane finally took off, they
gave me a cold, tasteless meal which I could
not eat.
We arrived in Italy in the early
evening and I was feeling lightheaded from
the
lack of food. The sun was setting as I was
collecting my bags! I missed it
completely! I
went to the desk to find my hire car and that was
when I discovered
the next problem. The
receptionist couldn't find my name in the computer
and
there were no more cars. There were no
buses or trains to the village, and the
taxis
were in strike.
The receptionist felt sorry
for me. She phoned her brother, Alessandro, who
agreed to take me to the village. I waited for
Alessandro at the front gate and
he arrived
driving a very old car with smoke pouring out of
the engine. We set
off. Fifteen minutes later
we broke down. I was tired and depressed, and
very,
very hungry. I began to think my parents
were right. Maybe I was too young to
travel on
my own. Luckily, Alessandro was a mechanic. After
an hour, he fixed the
car and we started
driving again.
It was nearly midnight when we
arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the
door and smiled. “Come in,” he said. “We have
been waiting for you.” I sat
with a group of
the friendliest people I've ever met and had a
meal that was
absolutely wonderful. And I'm
glad to say that the rest of my trip turned out to
be exactly the same.
26. What time did
the plane finally arrive?
A. 5 pm. B.
5:30pm. C. 8 pm. D. 8:30pm.
27. How did
the writer feel when he landed in Italy?

(B)
Which are the best cities to shop in? Writer
Ellie Clare, has been to five
cities around
the world to find out. This week she writes about
Paris.
I went to Paris in June. It's a
lovely city for sightseeing at that time of
year, but it's also a great place to find
high-quality fashion. I started in the
speciality stores and visited all the top
names, including Cartier, Chanel and
Christian
Dior. I've never seen such beautiful things, but
they are, of course,
very expensive. I bought
some perfume and moved on to the huge department
stores
in Paris. Two of the most famous are
Primtemps and Galleries Lafayette and they
are
definitely good places to visit. One place I found
disappointing was the
Champ-Elysees, the most
famous street in Paris. In the old days, it was a
great
place for fashion, but now there are too
many fast-food restaurants, banks,
airline
offices, shopping centres and cinemas aimed at
tourists. Don't waste your
time there!
After the shops I tried the markets. One of
the most famous places to find
treasures in
Paris is the flea market. There are three main
flea markets --- each
selling an unbelievable
range of old and second hand goods. They are
located
5
around the old
gates to the city. I spent hours walking around
these fascinating
places and while I was there
I discovered the meaning of the name 'flea
market'.
Hundreds of years ago, the royal
family gave away their old clothes, which were
then sold by people at these markets. But the
clothes were full of little insects
--- fleas
of course! One of the stall sellers told me that
the best time to find
treasures at the market
was before the crowds arrived, usually between 5am
and
6am. But that was a bit early for me. I
was enjoying the Paris night life too
much!
There are also open-air markets all around the
city where you can buy
flowers, clothes, pets,
food and many other things. And if you want to buy
a book,
visit the rows of bookstalls along the
River Seine. You can find some great
bargains
there, or you can spend hours just looking.
If
you want to buy half of Paris or if you just want
to walk around and look,
you'll love the
experience. Paris is a great place to shop!
31. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To advertise some of the famous Paris
stores.
B. To inform readers about the best
places to shop in Paris.
C. To introduce some
of the famous tourist attractions in Paris.
D.
To compare shopping in Paris to shopping in other
French cities.
32. Why was the writer
disappointed with the Champ-Elysees?
A. There
were too many tourist-oriented businesses there.
B. There were no clothes on sale there.
C.
There were too many tourists in the area.
D.
The stores kept changing too often.
33. What
is sold at the Paris flea markets?
A. Insects.
B. Old things.
C. The clothes of
kings. D. Expensive jewellery.
34. Why didn't
the writer go to the flea market at the best time?
A. It was too crowded. B. It was too early.
6
C. She was too busy. D.
She was too excited.
35. Where is the best
place to buy books according to the writer?
A.
The book shops in the large department stores.
B. The open markets all around the city.
C. The flea markets near the city gate.
D.
The stalls along the River Seine.
(C)
Did
you know that 7 out of 10 students have cheated at
least once in the past
year? Did you know that
50 percent of those students have cheated more
than twice?
This shocking data is from a
recent survey of 9,000 U.S. high school students.
Incredibly, teachers may even be encouraging
their students to cheat! Last
year at a school
in Detroit, some teachers were found to have
provided their
students with answers to
statewide standard tests. Students at the school
told
police that they were promised pizza and
money if they cheated on the test.
Similar
reports at several schools in San Diego county
have prompted an
investigation by the
Education Department. A student at a local high
school says
she sees students cheating on
almost every test, and the teachers don’t do
anything about it. In response to the claims
of school-assisted cheating, the
head of the
National Association of School Principals said
that while cheating
should never be accepted,
it showed the pressure that schools were under.
“Because school funding is now decided by
students' test performance, there is
incredible pressure on school to raise marks
in any way they can.”
But schools are not
the main problem. Many students claim that they’re
tempted to cheat because of peer pressure and
intense competition to get top
grades. Many
kids also say that their parents are setting a bad
example by
cheating on income taxes, lying
about age to pay lower admission prices, or
cheating their way out of speeding tickets.
They are sending a message to their
kids that
it is okay to cheat and lie.
. So, what can be
done? In our school’s math classes, each student
has
different problems on their test papers,
so it is useless to look at someone
else’s
answers. Teachers could also randomly mix the
problems throughout the
page. Another solution
is for adults to lower their expectations. Chances
are
7
that students believe
cheating is the only way to meet unreasonably high
expectations. Perhaps it is time for parents
and teachers to seriously examine
whether
higher test results are important enough to
encourage cheating.
36. What does
the writer think of the levels of cheating in
American schools?
A. It is an extremely
serious problem.
B. It is no worse than other
countries.
C. He expresses no clear opinion.
D. It is mainly the fault of local school.
37. Which of the following causes of cheating
is NOT mentioned?
A. Pressure from others.
C. Strong competition.
B. Too much work.
D. School funding.
38. Why are some schools ignoring their
students cheating in America,
according to the
passage?
A. Because schools will get better
students.
B. Because teachers will then
receive a higher salary.
C. Because schools
will get more government money.
D. Because
schools fear parents will be very angry.
39.
According to the 3 paragraph , how are parents
encouraging their children to
cheat?
A. By
putting too much pressure on their children to
succeed.
B. By criticising their children too
much when they fail.
C. By urging them
directly to be dishonest.
D. By failing to
behave honestly themselves.
40. In the last
paragraph the writer _________.
A. offers
possible solutions to the problem
B. describes
the causes of the problem
8
rd
B. outlines the results of the student
cheating
D. suggests some of the reasons for
cheating
(D)
You could say it’s the
budget traveller’s ultimate prize: knowing exactly
when to book a flight to get the cheapest
fare. But now one flight comparison
website,
which analysed 7.5 billion airfares on its top 100
routes worldwide,
believes it has found the
answer.
According to the research by
,
the ideal time to book a flight
is 53 days in
advance, a move that may save an average of 33% on
the normal fare.
For example, a flight from
London to Lisbon, when booked 52 days in advance,
costs on average £209—compared to the average
price of £287.
Cheaper fares also depend on
the time of the flight. Evening departures
between 6pm and midnight are typically
cheaper, while Tuesday is generally the
cheapest day to fly.
As for the most
expensive, fares are at their costliest three days
before
departure, while
Friday is
normally the most expensive day to take to the
air. It is also
suggested that travellers
should avoid afternoon flights if they are looking
to
save money.
“In general, it pays to
book flights two months in advance,” says Momondo
spokesman Lasse Skole Hansen. “We found these
trends consistent across the board,
so bargain
hunters should consider flying at night and on a
Tuesday, if they want
to save money on their
travels.”
Momondo’s research is consistent
with previous studies into the age-old
traveller’s dilemma of when to book. In
January Skyscanner published the results
of a
three-year study, which found that on average five
weeks in advance is the
best time to find the
cheapest fares.
However, Skyscanner also found
this varies according to destinations. The
cheapest flights to Greece, for example, were
found to be available just three
weeks ahead
of departure.
The new study by
coincides with their launch of an interactive
tool, Flight Insight, which allows travellers
to assess the best time, day and
season to
travel.
46. The research mentioned in the
article based its information on ______.
A.
interviews with travellers
9
B. discussions with travel agents
C. studying of ticket price lists
D.
inspections of national airports
47. Which of
the following is NOT discussed as a factor
affecting airplane ticket
prices?
A.
Booking time.
C. Flight time.
B. Flight day.
D.
Flight company.
48. According to the
information in the passage which of the following
tickets
would be the most expensive?
A. A
ticket booked three days in advanced for a Friday
afternoon flight.
10
B. A
ticket booked one day ahead for a Friday afternoon
flight.
C. Tuesday morning ticket booked two
months in advance.
D. A ticket for a Friday
flight during the summer holiday.
49. If the
advertised price for a plane ticket from London to
Paris tomorrow
was 90 pound, how much would
the buyer expect to pay if he booked the
ticket 52 days earlier?
A. 30 pounds. B.
60 pounds. C. 90 pounds. D. 120 pounds.
50.
What is the purpose of the article?
A. To
explain why flight price vary.
B. To inform
readers how to travel cheaply.
C. To tell
readers where to buy cheap tickets.
D. To
identify which airlines offer the best value
tickets.
