第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Online shopping is very popular among most Internet users. Almost 85 percent of Web users in the U. S. shop online. Korea, with 99 percent, is one of the countries where shopping online is very popular. Online shopping is easy, fast and convenient because users can shop from their homes using their computers. While online shopping is easy, there are also things you should be careful about. If you are shopping at an online store, make sure to have your credit card handy. Many people are hesitant(有顾虑的) to give out sensitive information on the web but this is the easiest way to buy clothing without having to wander through a mall(商场). When shopping online, do some research to ensure that the online store you are going through has an easy return policy. Shopping for clothes online is easy and convenient but it's good to know that if something doesn't fit correctly, it won't be a huge hassle to return the purchase. The Internet has become so common that for some, it is an everyday pastime(消遣). It is more convenient for most people on a busy schedule, and the savings in time and gasoline from driving around town make it hard to pass up. Using the Interact puts vast amounts of information at your fingertips. It's like being at the mall without crowds. With a couple of clicks of the mouse you can book a hotel, make airline reservation, send gifts to friends and family, buy that designer handbag you have always wanted, or order tens of thousands of other items. Another benefit you won't find shopping in a store or at the mall is that the internet is open around the clock, Seven days a week... 24 hours a day. 56. We can learn from the passage that _____. A. 85 percent of Americans shop online B. every online store has a return policy C. using credit cards is the only choice when buying things online D. online shopping is more popular in Korea than in the USA 57.

What to Expect The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. Accommodation Zones Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground. Meal Plans Available ♢ Continental Breakfast ♢ Breakfast and Dinner ♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品)，bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee. Friends If you wish to invite a friend over to visit. you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. Self-Catering(自供伙食的) Accommodation in Private Homes Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much. 61. The passage is probably written for _________ . A. host willing to receive foreign students B. foreigners hoping to build British culture C.

To enrich their knowledge of English. C. To entertain friends as they like. D. To experience a warmer family atmosphere. C “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belie, the founder of parkour(跑酷). Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from Walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royaler Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide. Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that. Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy (理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.” Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. 66. Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of _____ . A. its founder, David Belle B. the film Casino Royale C. its risks and tricks D. the varieties of participants 67. The underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “ ”. A. barriers B. streets C. objects D. roofs 68. Which of the following is TRUE of parkour ? A. It is a team sport. B. It is a good but boring sport. C. It needs special training. D. It challenges human abilities. 69. As its participants move around a city , _____. A. they can ask for help B. they may choose to escape C. they should run to extremes D. they must learn to survive 70. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour ? A. Sports and extremes. B. Dreams and success. C. Determination and freedom. D. Excitement and popularity. D Leaving a tip in a restaurant has become a custom in most countries. The word “tip” came from the Latin word “Grais”, meaning free. Tips are defined as small gifts of money for service in addition to the payment due. Believe it or not, the practice of tipping has a little interesting history. The custom can be traced back to the Roman era. The Romans were the first civilization to use coins. It is possible that the word “tip” came from the word “stipend”. “Stips” in Latin means gift. A more common belief is tips were first given in the 18th century England. A popular coffee house equipped each table with a coin box. The label of each box read, “To insure promptness.” Dropping a coin into the box would result in quick service. Also, the first letter of each word is T. I. P.-tip. In America and Europe, it is customary to tip anywhere from 10% to 20%. Taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges, hotel boys, doormen, and disco coat check girls, all expect a little something. People working at these jobs usually receive a low basic salary. Tips are quite necessary to supplement their income. Today most people decide the size of tip according to the quality of the service. If the service and food are not satisfactory, a small tip or possibly no tip will be left. For excellent food and service most people are quite happy to leave a tip. The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders. Surprisingly, rich people are not “big tippers” unless entertaining guests. It is no use showing off if nobody is there to watch, right? Many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening “on the town”. People who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends. It is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success. Nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends. Over-tipping also gives some satisfaction just to see the waiter’s reaction. For whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries. Tipping does have its place in our modern society. It will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude. 71. What is the meaning of the word “Gratis” according to the passage? A. free of obligation B. free of charge C. plenty in time D. free from tax 72. When were tips first given in England? A. In the 17th century. B. In the 18th century. C. In the 19th century. D. In the 20th century. 73. Which of the following statements is true? A. Most people think that tips originated in England. B. Most people think that tips originated in Rome. C. Today most people decide the “size of tips according to their mood.” D. According to the author, the practice of tipping does not have an interesting history. 74. How do you understand the sentence “The world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders.” in the 4th paragraph? A. All people in the world have a lot of money. B. No one in the world has a lot of money. C. Many people spend a large sum of money every day. D. The number of people who either have a lot of money or who pretend to be rich is great. 75. Why are people who cannot afford tipping the biggest tippers in front of their friends? A. Because they have a lot of money. B. Because they sympathize with taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges and disco coat check girls, etc. C. Because of their vanity(虚荣). D. None of the above. 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 [1] Electronic devices(装置)are changing the way people listen to music. But studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long. And experts say sound levels on these devices need to be set lower. [2] Researchers did a study with three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. They were asked about their use of portable music devices. Forty percent of the students and adults said they set the sound levels high on their players. But students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would not probably limit listening time. [3]The study found that more than half of the students and less than forty percent of the adults had at least one kind of hearing loss. Some reported difficulty hearing parts of a discussion between two people. Others said they had to raise the volume on a television or radio to hear it better. And, some experienced ringing in their ears or other noises. [4]Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say larger earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than smaller earphones that come with most music players. Hearing loss may not be obvious for years, however, once it happens, there is little chance of curing. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises. [5]The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is working with companies and government officials on setting rules for the use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is to , limit listening time and use earphones that block out outside noises. 76. What is the best title of the passage?
