第三部分 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。 More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in the UK rather than travel abroad. In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn't very good, even in summer, so a lot of British people left the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget was the "package holiday", where the cost of flights and hotels were offered as one discounted price by travel agents. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average, or at least had more money left after they spent on the living cost. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go abroad to find good weather. Also, the credit problem has affected the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK. This year, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a 40 percent increase in booking compared with last year. That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, however, foreign tourists are now finding the UK cheaper to visit than previously. In the UK, the national tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country — is healthier than it has been in decades. The UK has always been famous for its international explorers. It is only just starting to discover itself, however. 1. The underlined phrase "package holiday" in Paragraph 2 means a holiday________. A. offered by hotels B. with a package C. including flights D. with less expense 2. We can infer from the passage that________. A. the value of British pound has become a huge problem B. young people in the UK spend more than their parents C. British people think of a hot summer as good weather D. many Greek people leave for the UK for their business 3. Why do some British hotels have an increase in booking this year? A. Because many people have seen the Lake District. B. Because hotels in the Lake District are very cheap. C. Because more British spend their holiday home. D. Because foreign tourists have found these hotels. 4. What's the writer's attitude towards the British tourism industry? A. Optimistic. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Noble.

Drinking a lot of water does not do any good to the body, according to two experts in the United States. In fact, they warn, drinking too much water could be, in certain Cases, harmful. In a study, Dr Stanly Goldfarb and Dr Dan Negoianu, both of the Renal, Electrolyte and Hypertension Division at the University of Pennsylvania, the United States, have denied the popular belief that drinking a lot of water clears body toxins (毒素) better, improves skin, and helps reduce weight. Dr Goldfarb and Dr Negoianu say that they found little proof to support the public opinion that drinking 8 glasses of water every day benefits health. At the same time, they found little proof of harm in drinking 8 glasses of water every day. It is widely believed that in some cases — such as athletes, people who live in hot, dry environments, and those with certain medical conditions — drinking a lot of water indeed helps, but no studies have been done to prove the benefits of this practice in average, healthy people, the website medheadlines. com reports. The study at the University of Pennsylvania also examined reports that some people experienced increased headaches when their consumption of water was low. In one small study, which the doctors reviewed, the group drinking the most water reported fewer headaches than the control group, “but the difference in the number of headaches was so small between the two groups as to be considered unimportant.” The researchers concluded that there is no scientific proof to support that average, healthy people need to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. The website medheadlines. com says that, according to an Indian doctor, drinking too much water is harmful. If water enters the body more quickly than it can be removed, problems can occur. 1. What’s the key message delivered in the passage? A. Drinking too much water might bring harm. B. Whether to drink enough water makes no difference. C. Drinking too much water may cause headaches. D. Average, healthy people should drink more water. 2. We can learn from the passage that 8 glasses of water every day ________. A. proves good for the body B. has scientific proof of harm C. is sure to reduce headaches D. is generally considered necessary 3. Who may agree that drinking lots of water helps to lose weight? A. Two experts. B. General public. C. An Indian doctor. D. A website. 4. According to the passage, we know that ________. A. the website medheadlines. com is developed by an Indian doctor B. the study was carried out by two experts with an Indian doctor C. the two experts performed the study at the University of Pennsylvania D. drinking 8 glasses of water every day can cure certain diseases

For more than two decades, Oprah Winfrey has been the change-your-life champion who ruled over daytime television much like Johnny Caron once ruled late night. However, now she’s ready to say goodbye, Wimfrey told viewers Friday that The Oprah Winfrey Show would close in September 2011 after 25 years on the air. “I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye,” Winfrey said, holding back tears. Winfrey’s show “is one of daytime television’s very foundations,” said Larry Gerbrandt an analyst for the firm Media Valuation Partners in Los Angeles. “Stations build their schedules around her. They gave it the best time period and used it to promote other shows.” Winfrey offered no specific plans for the future, except to say that she intended to produce the best possible shows during the final two years. “I just wanted to say whether you’ve been here with me from the beginning or you joined me last week, I want you all to know that my relationship with you is one that I hold very dear,” she said. “Your trust in me and the sharing of your precious time every day with me have brought me the greatest joy I have ever known.” The Oprah Winfrey Show’s open atmosphere and frank conversation determined the talk show style and made Winfrey one of the most influential women in the US as well as the wealthiest black woman in the world. “She has had great effects on today’s society. She’s just part of every one’s life,” said Yasmeen Elhaj, a 19-year-old student from Chicago. 1. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. Winfrey’s Contributions to TV Show B. Winfrey’s Show to Close in the Year 2011 C. Winfiey’s Great Influence in the USA D. Winfrey’s Support for Black People 2. Winfrey’s talk show has lasted________. A. nearly 25 years B. less than 20 years C. no more than 20 years D. more than 25 years 3. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Winfred will change her show style in the coming years. B. Winfrey will have some other specific plan for the future. C. Winfred does promote some other shows after her retirement. D. Winfrey appreciates every moment she has with her viewers. 4. Which of the following can best describe Oprah Winfred? A. Energetic and funny. B. Friendly and clever. C. Frank and influential. D. Active and changeable.

Bored by the Chinese courses he was majoring in, Zuo Cheng, 18, couldn't imagine having to drag himself into class day after day, week after week, for four years. The Beijing Language and Culture University student decided that enough was enough. After rounds of examinations and interviews, he managed to transfer (转移) to the Department of International Accounting. "It may seem like I've wasted a year and have to start college all over again, but now that I've settled on a field, I'll be able to concentrate." Zuo said. Zuo is not alone. At the China Three Gorges University in Yichang in Hubei province 53 out of 59 students in the Physics Department took transfer exams last term. Unfortunately only 22 of them got a place on another major. Jiang Xin, 20, who was able to switch to electrical engineering and automation from physics, said that physics graduates had few other choices besides going into teaching. He added that a career in education just didn't suit him. "I should have better job prospects (前景) and the chance to earn more money once I graduate," Jiang said. Many first year college students find their majors uninteresting. However, Shao Yanfang, who works at the admissions office of a university, advised students to consider both short-term and long-term goals. "After graduation do you want to find yourself in a job very specifically related to your college major? Or, would you like to possess the knowledge and skills that will enable you to work in many areas? These are the questions students need to consider. Above all, your choice of major should be based on your own interests, abilities and personality," Shao said. 1. After Zuo Cheng managed to transfer the collage major, he felt________. A. sad B. happy C. nervous D. pitiful 2. Which of the following statements is true? A. A lot of students are not accustomed to the life on campus. B. Students who attend university want to earn more money. C. Students can change their major based on their interests. D. Students who are weak in their study can change their major. 3. In the passage, Paragraph 3 functions as ________. A. an example B. an introduction C. a conclusion D. an explanation 4. According to Shao Yanfang, students are supposed to think about ________ when changing majors. A. present knowledge and skills B. short-term and long-term goals C. future earnings and jobs D. relationship between friends 5. The text is written mainly for those ________. A. Company managers B. Job hunters C. Collage directors D. College students

第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共35分) 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：表格中的每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。 Being lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous. But according to a recent survey, the situation is all too common. Loneliness and other anxiety problems — worrying about life's pressured — can even lead to self-murder. An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high-level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled (溺爱的) and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express 'thank-you'.” Well, how do you like that! First, I don't think China's youth are exactly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes. Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to honestly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. It's easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness? Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as Kaixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world. And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.
