27、In 1943, when I was four, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska(阿拉斯加), where adventures were never very far away.

We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was wonderful for Mum’s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.

Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mum worked there with him. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took away my matches and drove me home.

Mum and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison until Mum rescued me. I hadn’t turned five yet.

As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal(金属) handrail at school?

As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dogsledder(拉雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹) heavily and well protected from the freezing and blowing cold weather.

In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when eight years later Leonhard paid a visit to Idaho to invite us to attend a gathering of former neighbors in Alaska.

【1】What can be inferred about the author’s family?

A．His father was a cruel man.

B．His parents didn’t love him.

C．His parents used to be very busy.

D．His mother didn’t have any jobs.

【2】What happened when the author was four?

A．He learned to smoke.

B．He war locked in a basement.

C．He was arrested by the police.

D．He nearly caused a fire accident.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Leonhard was famous for being good at driving dogsleds.

B．The author spent his whole childhood living in Alaska.

C．Leonhard often visited the author’s family after 1950.

D．The author suffered much while taking the dogsled in Alaska.

【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A．To look back on his childhood with adventures.

B．To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.

C．To express how much he misses Leonhard.

D．To show off his pride in making trouble.

28、Instead of logging extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well-being than those who are inactive and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn S25, 000 more per year.

Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1. 2 million Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past 30 days, for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, and cycling.

The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, whereas inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days. All exercise types were related to a lower mental health burden. Social physical activities (ie. team sports) had an even more positive effect, although cycling ranked highly.

It is possible to get too much exercise. From Business Insider’s write up on the study, “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren’t particularly physically active. ”The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week, lasting 30 to 60 minutes each. But the takeaway should be that any amount helps, so don’t stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were related to a lower mental health burden than not exercising. ”So just do it.

【1】How did the researchers get the data from the people who participated in the study?

A．By comparing their experiences.

B．By recording their daily activities.

C．By asking questions on exercising.

D．By doing some related experiment.

【2】On average, how many days do the inactive people feel bad per year?

A．17 days.

B．18 days

C．35 days

D．53 days.

【3】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To share some important data from a new research.

B．To recommend some proper methods of doing exercise.

C．To tell people doing exercise will make people more healthy.

D．To introduce some physical activities suitable for people to do.

【4】Where is the passage most probably taken from?

A．A magazine.

B．A textbook.

C．A novel.

D．A diary.

29、The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”

His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from the Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.

A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street—regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry?” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry.

Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry!”

True manners are about being considerate, and today’s constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning.

Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.

【1】Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?

A．To give an example of British modesty.

B．To introduce different ways of saying sorry.

C．To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.

D．To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.

【2】Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?

A．People should not apologize if they are not responsible.

B．Americans care less about manners than British people do.

C．That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.

D．British people care too much about which social class they are from.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．It’s unnecessary for British people to be so polite.

B．The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.

C．People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry”.

D．Using “sorry” more doesn’t necessarily mean people are more polite.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To show the best way of saying sorry.

B．To explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”.

C．To show how saying sorry has changed over time.

D．To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.

31、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

There’s a Museum for Everyone

What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you 【1】 an imposing building in a rather conventional（传统的）design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic 【2】, such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - 【3】 style and falling in line with tradition.

Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to 【4】 the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox（正统的）exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling “... people to 【5】 collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment.” And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.

What about Neil Cole’s Adventures in Science Fiction? This odd museum of classic science fiction was opened by the 【6】 Neil Cole. “Science fiction has become more mainstream so I thought people might want to see this,” says Mr Cole.

If clocks are more to your 【7】, why not visit the Cuckoo-land Museum? Set up by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski, this collection of over 600 cuckoo（布谷鸟）clocks is considered to be the largest of its kind in the world -- and all from the Black Forest region in Germany.

Finally, you could visit the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities in London. This 【8】 institution reverses the trend of educating visitors through 【9】 explanations alongside its exhibits. Instead, it displays all of its 【10】 treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Tom and his friend were walking to work. They were talking about the big football match.

"Are you going to see the match?" Tom's friend asked him.

"No, I must go to work." Tom said.

Tom worked in the office of Mr. Bates. When Tom got to the office a letter was waiting for him. He opened it.

"Dear Tom." the letter began. "I'm writing to thank you for all your help. I'm sending a ticket for the big match. I cannot go to the match because I am ill. I shall see it on TV. You can go to the match with my ticket."

Tom looked at the ticket. He could not believe that he had it. A ticket for the big match!

He looked at the ticket again. "I must go to the match." he thought. "I must. But how can I go? How can I get out of the office? I can't tell Mr. Bates that I'm ill. He will know what I'm doing. He'll know I'm trying to get out of the office and go to the big match."

Tom thought and thought. He could not do any work. Then, at twelve o'clock, he knew what to do. He stood up and walked to a telephone at the end of the street. He spoke to his sister, Jean. "Jean, this is Tom," he said. "I want you to make a telephone call to my office. Ask to speak to Mr. Bates. Tell him you are speaking from a doctor's office. Tell him that my mother is ill."

He put down the telephone and went back to the office. At one o'clock, Mr. Bates came up to him.

"I have had bad news for you, Tom," he said. "Your mother is ill. The doctor telephoned. You must go to her."

"Thank you." Tom said. "I'll go now. I'll come back as soon as I can." He left the office quickly for the football ground. The big match did not start until three but the ground was nearly full. But Tom's ticket was a good one. He could stand near the front. The football match was very good. Many people saw the match on TV. People at home could see everything in the football ground.
