“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let(出租) at last?”
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.
“You want to tell me, and I have no objection(反对) to hearing it.”
This was invitation enough.
“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr. Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
“What is his name?”
“Bingley.”
“Is he married or single?”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of all.”
“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”
“It is more than what I should do, honestly speaking.”
“But consider your daughters. Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”
But in fact Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr. Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always lying to his wife that he would not go.
(Adapted from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen).
24．How did Mrs. Bennet feel when she heard that Bingley would move there?
A．Excited and hopeful. B．Surprised and crazy.
C．Nervous and curious. D．Pleased and proud.
25．Why did Mr. Bennet show no interest in Mr. Bingley’s moving there when his wife talked about it?
A．Because his daughters were not pretty enough.
B．Because his wife was prettier than his daughters.
C．Because he didn’t want to show his true feelings to others.
D．Because he didn’t care about his daughters’ happiness.
26．Why did Mrs. Bennet mention “Sir William and Lady Lucas”?
A．To show Mr. Bingley was well worth visiting.
B．To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were their friends.
C．To show it was polite for a couple to visit a new comer together.
D．To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were too proud to get along well with.
(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.
The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”
“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”
“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”
27．Where did the story happen?
A．In a restaurant. B．In Chicago. C．In the West. D．In New York.
28．In which order did the following events take place?
a. Bob found out his new man wasn’t his friend.
b. The tall man gave Bob a note from Wells.
c. Bob waited at the door of a shop.
d. They had a talk about Bob’s life in the West.
e. The new man came to meet him.
A．c-e-d-a-b. B．e-b-c-a-d. C．c-d-a-e-b. D．e-c-a-b-d.
29．What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A．Time may change a good man into a bad one.
B．The police would make some notes on Bob.
C．Bob came from the far West to meet his friend.
D．They promised to meet each other 20 years ago.
People usually become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be?The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”
Generally the information was not rather personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.
Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not quite new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.
Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “If you don’t know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”
30．The subject discussed in this passage is ________.
A．how to communicate at work B．how people do research studies
C．how people open up when emailing D．how to discuss and solve a problem
31．The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that ________.
A．they couldn’t see each other
B．they had to discuss a question
C．the cameras on the computers were turned on
D．they didn’t talk about very personal thing
32．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The telegraph B．The computer. C．Face-to-face talk. D．Emailing.
33．In Dr. Johnson’s opinion, one should ________.
A．focus on oneself when emailing B．consider how one uses emails at work
C．talk more freely in emails than usual D．discuss any subject that one wants to

四、阅读回答问题（共10分）
Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?
First, you had to learn how to balance yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power-you’d stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time-you did it!
Now, the next step-walking. You’d seen others do it. It didn’t look that hard-just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong-more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again, you understood how to walk.
If people around you found you walking, they cheered, “Oh, look at what the kid is doing.” This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child-how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn’t wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself.
So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。
34．What was the first step in learning to walk for you?
__________________________________________.
35．How did you feel about the new power?

__________________________________________.
37．Who cheered for you when finding you walking?
__________________________________________.
38．What should you do if you want to succeed in doing something?

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.
___39___ When someone says they have to “face the music”, it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept the punishment of an action.
___40___ For example, “I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy.”
“In life, you must face your fears.” Face used in this way is very common. Back to facing the music: Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her expensive sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely（极其）fast car.” ___41___ You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. ____42____ It could be losing her friendship or paying to repair her car—or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
___43___ To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and how you have to experience the results!

32．推理判断题。根据“So emailing has become the modern way of talking…this style of talking is not quite new…Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely. ”可知，发邮件这种交流方式并不算新颖，19世纪就已经通过电报这种方式让人们更自由地交谈，因此划线处指的是和电报一样让人们交谈变得更容易的方式—发邮件。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据“Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company.”可知，博士认为人们更应该知道邮件如何应用于工作。故选B。

【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了小孩学步的步骤，告诉我们，如果想在某件事上取得成功，就要不断地尝试和鼓励自己。

37．根据第四段“If people around you found you walking, they cheered”可知，当你学走路时周围的人会为你鼓劲，故填People around me/us。
38．开放性题目，答案不唯一，言之成理即可。根据最后“So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something”可知，如果想成功做某事，你就要不断地尝试和鼓励自己。故填Keep trying and encouraging myself/ourselves。

【导语】本文主要介绍了李白和他的朋友汪伦之间的故事。
44．句意：24岁时，他离开了家，开始在中国各地旅行。根据“At the...of 24”以及首字母提示可知是在24岁时，at the age of“在多少岁时”。故填(a)ge。
45．句意：在他的一生中，他写了一千多首关于自然、友谊和许多其他美好事物的诗。根据“wrote more than one...poems”以及首字母提示可知是写了一千多首诗歌，thousand“千”，具体数字前thousand不加s。故填(t)housand。
46．句意：《赠汪伦》是李白的一首诗。根据“ ‘To Wang Lun’ was one of Li Bai’s”可知《赠汪伦》是他的一首诗，one of后加名词复数poems“诗歌”。故填(p)oems。
47．句意：据说，汪伦尊重李白的才华，并梦想见到他。根据“Wang Lun respected Li Bai for his talent and...of seeing him”以及首字母提示可知是梦想见到他，dream of“梦想”，句子用一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填(d)reamt。
48．句意：当他听说李白要去附近的一个地方旅行时，他给李白写了一封信，邀请他参观他的家乡。根据“a letter to Li Bai”可知是写了一封信，write“写”，句子用一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填(w)rote。
49．句意：当他听说李白要去附近的一个地方旅行时，他给李白写了一封信，邀请他参观他的家乡。根据“invite him to visit...hometown”以及首字母提示可知是参观他的家乡，修饰名词用形容词性物主代词his“他的”。故填(h)is。
50．句意：在信中，汪伦将家乡描绘成桃花绵延十里，酒屋万间。根据“peach flowers”可知此处指桃花，peach flowers“桃花”。故填(p)each。
51．句意：李白来的时候找不到汪伦描述的场景。根据“he arrived”以及首字母提示可知是当他到达的时候，用when引导时间状语从句。故填(w)hen。
52．句意：汪伦解释说，“桃花”是一个水池的名字，“万”是酒家老板的姓。根据“‘peach flowers’ was the...of a pool of water”以及首字母提示可知“桃花”是一个水池的名字，name“名字”，此处用名词单数。故填(n)ame。
53．句意：他明白汪伦很想见他，两人成为了好朋友。根据“wanted to see him”以及首字母提示可知是真地想见他，修饰动词用副词really“真地”。故填(r)eally。
54．development
【详解】句意：随着科技的发展，未来乘宇宙飞船去火星可能只需要大约20分钟。根据“With the ... (develop) of technology”可知要用名词，develop的名词形式development意为“发展”，不可数名词。故填development。
55．the ugliest
【详解】句意：——这是我见过的最丑的小鸭。——不要以貌取人!有一天它可能会变成一只美丽的天鹅。ugly adj. 丑陋的。观察句子，这里应该是形容词作表语，根据“I have ever seen”，可知应该是最丑的“ugliest”，形容词最高级前有the，故填the ugliest。
56．survivors’
【详解】句意：你知道这些背包是那些幸存者的吗？survive“幸存”，词性是动词。名词为survivor，空前有those修饰，使用名词复数survivors，这里表示的是“幸存者的背包”，所以使用名词复数所有格的形式。故填survivors’。
57．successfully
【详解】句意：谭盾成功地将中国音乐和西方音乐结合在了一起。success“成功”，名词；根据“Tan Dun has ... brought Chinese music and Western music together.”可知，此处要用副词successfully“成功地”，修饰动词。故填successfully。
58．communicating
【详解】句意：你无法想象我和他沟通有多么困难。结合语境和空前“how much difficulty I had”可知，本句用短语“have difficulty doing sth做某事有困难”，所以填提示词communicate的ing形式。故填communicating。
59．imagined
【详解】句意：你比我想象中的要更加努力。动词imagine表示“想象”，根据“You seem to be much more hard-working than”可知是比想象中的要更努力，因此从句时态应用一般过去时，imagine用过去式。故填imagined。
60．through
【详解】句意：请帮我接通经理的电话，我有重要的事情要向他汇报。through“（电话）接通着”，此处是副词。故填through。
61．smoothly/successfully
【详解】句意：为了打破沉默，我讲了一个笑话，谈话很快就顺利地进行了。
“顺利地”在英文中表达为“smoothly/successfully”，因为went on是动词短语，所以后面用副词来修饰。故答案为smoothly/successfully。
62．general
【详解】句意：普遍的期望是他会赢。实际上他输了。结合所给提示与空格前的不定冠词a，可知应用辅音音素开头的形容词，general是辅音音素开头，表示“普遍的”。故填general。
63．例文：
World Book Day is coming. However, it’s a pity that only a few students do some reading after class. Here are some reasons.
First, students have too much homework to do, so they don’t have time for reading. Second, they don’t have a good habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet. In fact, reading makes a full man. It can not only increase our knowledge and improve our abilities, but also open up a whole new world to us.
To solve this problem, I think teachers should give less homework to us so that we can have more time to read. Moreover, we can join reading clubs and share books with each other.

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let(出租) at last?”
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.
“You want to tell me, and I have no objection(反对) to hearing it.”
This was invitation enough.
“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr. Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
“What is his name?”
“Bingley.”
“Is he married or single?”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of all.”
“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”
“It is more than what I should do, honestly speaking.”
“But consider your daughters. Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”
But in fact Mr. Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr. Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always lying to his wife that he would not go.
(Adapted from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen).
24．How did Mrs. Bennet feel when she heard that Bingley would move there?
A．Excited and hopeful. B．Surprised and crazy.
C．Nervous and curious. D．Pleased and proud.
25．Why did Mr. Bennet show no interest in Mr. Bingley’s moving there when his wife talked about it?
A．Because his daughters were not pretty enough.
B．Because his wife was prettier than his daughters.
C．Because he didn’t want to show his true feelings to others.
D．Because he didn’t care about his daughters’ happiness.
26．Why did Mrs. Bennet mention “Sir William and Lady Lucas”?
A．To show Mr. Bingley was well worth visiting.
B．To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were their friends.
C．To show it was polite for a couple to visit a new comer together.
D．To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were too proud to get along well with.
(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)
There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.
The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another dinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”
“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”
“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”
“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”
“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.
At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.
The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”
27．Where did the story happen?
A．In a restaurant. B．In Chicago. C．In the West. D．In New York.
28．In which order did the following events take place?
a. Bob found out his new man wasn’t his friend.
b. The tall man gave Bob a note from Wells.
c. Bob waited at the door of a shop.
d. They had a talk about Bob’s life in the West.
e. The new man came to meet him.
A．c-e-d-a-b. B．e-b-c-a-d. C．c-d-a-e-b. D．e-c-a-b-d.
29．What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A．Time may change a good man into a bad one.
B．The police would make some notes on Bob.
C．Bob came from the far West to meet his friend.
D．They promised to meet each other 20 years ago.
People usually become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be?The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”
Generally the information was not rather personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.
Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not quite new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.
Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “If you don’t know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”
30．The subject discussed in this passage is ________.
A．how to communicate at work B．how people do research studies
C．how people open up when emailing D．how to discuss and solve a problem
31．The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that ________.
A．they couldn’t see each other
B．they had to discuss a question
C．the cameras on the computers were turned on
D．they didn’t talk about very personal thing
32．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The telegraph B．The computer. C．Face-to-face talk. D．Emailing.
33．In Dr. Johnson’s opinion, one should ________.
A．focus on oneself when emailing B．consider how one uses emails at work
C．talk more freely in emails than usual D．discuss any subject that one wants to

四、阅读回答问题（共10分）
Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?
First, you had to learn how to balance yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power-you’d stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time-you did it!
Now, the next step-walking. You’d seen others do it. It didn’t look that hard-just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong-more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again, you understood how to walk.
If people around you found you walking, they cheered, “Oh, look at what the kid is doing.” This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child-how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn’t wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself.
So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。

五、阅读还原6选5（共5分）
There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.
___39___ When someone says they have to “face the music”, it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept the punishment of an action.
___40___ For example, “I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy.”
“In life, you must face your fears.” Face used in this way is very common. Back to facing the music: Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her expensive sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely（极其）fast car.” ___41___ You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. ____42____ It could be losing her friendship or paying to repair her car—or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
___43___ To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and how you have to experience the results!

59．imagined
【详解】句意：你比我想象中的要更加努力。动词imagine表示“想象”，根据“You seem to be much more hard-working than”可知是比想象中的要更努力，因此从句时态应用一般过去时，imagine用过去式。故填imagined。

World Book Day is coming. However, it’s a pity that only a few students do some reading after class. Here are some reasons.
First, students have too much homework to do, so they don’t have time for reading. Second, they don’t have a good habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet. In fact, reading makes a full man. It can not only increase our knowledge and improve our abilities, but also open up a whole new world to us.
To solve this problem, I think teachers should give less homework to us so that we can have more time to read. Moreover, we can join reading clubs and share books with each other.
