第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分
A
When I was young, my father had one of the first telephones m our neighborhood. I remember the shiny box on the wall. But I was too little to reach it. I could only listen to my mother talk on it.
I discovered that inside the-wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know.
One day my mother went out. I accidentally hurt my finger when I was playing with a hammer. I walked around the house sucking my finger, finally seeing the telephone. Quickly I dragged a chair over and climbed up.
“Information Please, ”I spoke into the receiver. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.”
“I hurt my finger…”I cried into the phone.
“Isn’t your mother home?” came the question.
“Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed.
“Are you bleeding?” the voice asked.
“No,” I replied, “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.”
“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could.
“Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.” said the voice.
After that, I called “Information Please” for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me her name was Sally.
Then, there was the time my pet canary(金丝雀)died. I called “Information Please” and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families , only to end up as a pile of feathers?” She listened, then said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow, I felt better.
One day when I called “Information Please” again, a different voice answered “Information.”
I asked for Sally. “Are you a friend?” she said.
“Yes,” I answered.
“I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said. “She died five days ago.” Before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”
“Yes.”
“Well, Sally left a message for you. The note said, ‘Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.’” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.

Many of us are used to hearing stories of people being pickpocketed in busy places. But most of us are aware of the dangers, so we are safe – at least, we think we are.
According to a BBC report, a growing number of thieves are trying to “hack (侵入) our mind’s weaknesses” to get their hands on our possessions.
“In fact, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket isn’t having quick fingers,” said the report. By using psychology, some pickpockets are taking advantage of the loopholes(漏洞) in our brains.
Our lack of ability to multitask is one of the most important loopholes used by pickpockets, the report explains. While this can often be a good trait(特点), allowing us to focus on the most important details in our surroundings, “a good trickster can use it against you, ” said neuroscientist Auzana Martinez-Conde.
“It’s all about directing people’s attention toward something else,” said James Brown, who studies the tricks of pickpocketing. Confidence, the power of suggestion, and certain hand movements such as moving your hands in an arc (弧形) are all said to be things that fool us.
Groups of pickpockets use a common trick designed to create a scene and confuse victims.
The first gang member, a “blocker”, walks in front of the victim and suddenly bumps into them. A second member of the gang then bumps into both of them from behind and stages an argument with the “blocker”. In the confusion, both men steal what they can and pass it to a third thief who quickly runs off with the stolen goods.
Some thieves go even further to exploit our psychology by hanging out near signs reading “beware of pickpockets”. Since this is one of the last places people expect to be robbed, many check where their valuables are, giving away their location to thieves.
But according to Brown, as long as we don’t daydream in public, we shouldn’t be worried.
“A street thief will avoid like the plague(瘟疫)” people who are demonstrating(展现)a very open awareness of their environment,” he said.
25.According to the BBC report, the main strategy of a successful pickpocket is________.
A. to distract victims
B. to give themselves multiple tasks to do
C. to focus on the most important details
D. to use swift hand movements
26.When groups of pickpockets use their common trick, ________.
A. it is the third thief’s task to steal what they can from the victim
B. the victim usually doesn’t dare to argue with them
C. the victim usually gets confused and lets down his or her guard
D. two members bump into the victim from different directions at the same time
27.Why do some thieves hang out near signs saying things like “beware of pickpocketers”?
A. They think it is more thrilling to steal in those areas.
B. Normally there are no police officers around.
C. They don’t know common people’s psychology.
D. They have a better chance of locating people’s valuables there.
28.According to James Brown, which of the following types of person is more likely to be pickpocketed?
A. People who look weak. B. People who are walking slowly.
C. People who are absent-minded. D. People who are alert to their surroundings
C
Whether it’s joining a school club, going to a friend’s birthday party, or travelling by train, we can meet new people anywhere and anytime in our lives. However, many of us feel awkward when meeting people for the first time, especially when we aren’t quite sure what to say. The situation feels cold, even icy.
“Breaking the ice” is a term widely used in the English-speaking countries to describe a small talk technique that can help rescue a conversation from certain failure.
So where do you even begin? Well, a good start is to accept that it is perfectly normal to feel a little nervous when talking to someone for the first time. They might look grumpy or scary, but they could turn out to be the nicest person you’ve ever met.
You might think that breaking the ice is difficult. But sometimes just a simple “hello”, followed by a three-second smile, can make all the difference.
Complimenting someone on their garment or accessories(饰品) is also a great, easy way to break the ice. You might say: “I love your jacket. Where did you buy it from?”
Being in an uncomfortable or unpleasant situation with someone new might feel terrible, but it can actually be one of the best icebreakers. By focusing on the situation, you come together to fight the common enemy: the long bathroom queue, for example, or the overcrowded bus.
You can make observations too. “What kind of drink is that?” “That’s a lovely name. What does it mean?” “Do you study here too?” There are opportunities all around you to ask questions that don’t seem weird, as long as you have some follow-up questions in mind.
If you’re feeling extra bold, make a joke. Jokes can be difficult to master but if you get them right, they show the likeable, witty side of your character. “What’s your name?” “Well, people usually call me Mike, but you can call me tonight.”
29. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How to develop friendship with a stranger
B. Advice on breaking the ice when we communicate with a stranger
C. How to become a successful public speaker
D. How to start a conversation with a person
30. The underlined word “grumpy” can be replaced by______.
A. easily annoyed B. gentle C. low-spirited D. cheerful
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. “Breaking the ice” is a small talk technique widely used in our daily communication all over the world.
B. As long as you can smile at others, you will make some friends.
C. Realizing that it’s normal to feel nervous in front of a stranger is a good start to break the ice.
D. Being in an uncomfortable situation with some strangers can be the best icebreakers.
32. According to the passage, making a joke________.
A. can be done with ease.
B. leads to many new friends.
C. can show your wisdom and lovely character.
D. makes you enjoy your life happily.
D
If you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it’s not just overcrowded subway trains.
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can’t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯)in subway stations. “Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.”
Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.
The logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette(礼仪)seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you’re transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.
Many cities’ escalators, including London’s and Beijing’s, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people.(Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.)But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong’s subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying：“If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there’s nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don’t stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.
33.In the second paragraph, the underlined word It refers __________.
A.the author’s living in the big city of Hong Kong
B.being crowded on the subway trains m rush hours
C.people’s blocking the way or chat on the escalators
D.people’s standing on the right side resting
34.What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?
A.Not everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
B.The BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
C.People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.
D.People shouldn’t complain about the crowded escalators.
35.Which of the following statements is the writer’s opinion?
A.People should stand right no matter where they are.
B.People should do as the Romans do and consider others.
C.People should do as they like on the escalators.
D.People. should be seriously critisized when they block the way.

Dear friends, we’re honored to welcome you to our school. Today, we’d like to share our culture with you by introducing the art of Jianzhi, Chinese paper-cutting, which is for celebrations, festivals and home decoration. Two Chinese characters—Fu, good fortune, and Xi, happiness—are our student Jianzhi club’s focus this week. Fu is always posted upside down, which is homophonic with “Fu comes” in Chinese. And Xi often appears in pairs at weddings because double Xi represents double happiness. In a moment, we’ll break you into mixed groups to experience firsthand the joy and history of the traditional craft. After today, I hope you’ll each have a piece of fortune and happiness to keep you company. So please enjoy yourselves!

W: Come on, David. Why so negative? We are thinking of buying a house, aren’t we? Just a trip to look at the place won’t cost us much.

M: Hello, Doctor Green’s office.
W: Hello, I’d like to know what time the clinic is closed?

W: Hello, Mr. Smith. This is Ellen speaking.
M: Who? Just a minute. Let me turn down the TV. Who? Oh, Ellen. I can hear you now, not well though.
W: I’ve been delayed here. The plane won’t take off because of the fog, and I’d like to put off our meeting till Thursday at the same hour, if it is convenient for you.
M: Sure. That will be all right.
W: Oh, that’s great. Could you get in touch with my cousin, Alfred Black, 26 Brown Street and tell him that I won’t be able to attend his party tomorrow because of the delay?
M: Certainly, with pleasure.
W: He has a phone, but I can’t remember the number right now. Thank you very much.
M: You are welcome.
W: I’ll be seeing you on Thursday. Goodbye.

W: Hi, David, you look awful. What’s the trouble?
M: Well, believe it or not, I had an accident in the car this morning. Someone drove into the back of my car.
W: No! How did it happen?[:]
M: I was just turning into my drive when another car came round the corner and drove into the back of mine.
W: Didn’t you see him?
M: No, I didn’t. I looked in my driving mirror and there was no one coming. Not only that, I also looked in the big mirror on the other side of the road.
M: That’s right.

W: Hi, Tiger. I’m going to the beach with some friends. Do you want to come, too?

M: That sounds great! When do you plan to leave?
W: Well, I think at about 4:00 on Friday.
M: Do you have space for me in one of the cars?
W: Sure, we’ll fit you into a car.

W: Hey, George! Where are you heading?
M: Hey, it’s you, Mary. I just came back from an exhibition.
W: A what?
M: An exhibition. To be exact, a fine art exhibition.
W: Really? Is it any good?
M: Yeah, pretty good, I should say. You know I don’t have any artistic ability, but I can appreciate the stuff there. There are portraits, oil paintings and watercolours. It’s really amazing. Sometimes they can fool your eyes—you have to look really closely to see that’s not a photo or something real. It’s a great exhibition.
W: What paintings do you prefer?
M: I would have to say the oil paintings. They’re just so colourful and alive.
W: Yeah, that’s one thing that I like about oil paintings. But I can’t stand the traditional style. I find it so boring.
M: Yeah, I’m a little tired of that style, too. I’m crazy about art, and I wish that I were able to paint as well as these artists. You should go and have a look at this exhibition if you can afford a day. It’s really delightful.
W: Well, I was just thinking about what to do for the weekend. Now you’ve given me a good idea. I’m really looking forward to it!
M: Trust me, it’s worthwhile and the ticket is not expensive.
W: OK. See you. I’ve got to go and get the tickets.

W: Pleased to be here today. My name’s Joan, and I’d like to share with you something about my French learning. I still remember when I first started to learn the language I didn’t really have a problem with the pronunciation. I just had a hard time memorizing words. But I made a great effort and soon I was scoring ten out of ten in all of the tests. By the time I got to university, I could do some writing and translations without much difficulty, and I actually enjoyed learning the grammar rules. Then as part of my university course I had to go and live in France for a year. As soon as I arrived, I realized I didn’t know how to order the type of coffee I liked, and trying to find somewhere to live or stay was something difficult to deal with. I called people about information in the paper, but I had to keep putting the phone down because I couldn’t understand a word they were saying--they all spoke so quickly! I could see then that there’s no point in just knowing words if you can’t hold a conversation with a native speaker. The ability to speak freely is what helps you get a job, hold a conversation or just buy the things you need.[:.]
