第二节 读写任务 (共1小题,满分25分)

    阅读下面的一封信,然后按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的回信。

Dear Abby,

Last month my son was told that he no longer has to attend weekend classes at his school.  Since then he spends his weekends going out with his friends to play sports or watch movies.  When he is at home all he seems to do is surf the Internet or play silly computer games. I really think he is just wasting his time having fun when he should be studying. I sometimes ask him if he has homework or extra study to do, but he always says that he has already completed it all. This change makes me very worried. I feel that this free time is encouraging him to be lazy. He isn’t studying long enough and this will reduce his chances of getting into university. I also think it will cause problems when he begins to work because he will not be able to concentrate well and will think more of having fun than his job. I have considered going to the school principal and asking him to change their decision but my son says if I do so his classmates will laugh at him. I don’t want to embarrass my child but I don’t want him to fall behind either. 

Please help.

Concerned Mum

Dear Concerned Mum, In your letter you say that the extra free time your son has is causing him to become lazy and neglect his studies. You fear that this will affect his future both at university and at work.  I quite understand how you feel but still I think you may be worrying unnecessarily. The extra free time may actually help his studies. Using this time to relax and have fun can refresh both his mind and his body, allowing him to study more effectively. Remember the quantity of study isn’t as important as the quality of study. Spending more time with his friends will also help him develop his social skills. This is very important when he finally enters the workforce.  Naturally you don’t want your son to fall behind. But wait until his next exams before judging the effects of the change. If you find there’s a problem then you could send him to private weekend classes or even make him to spend 3 hours on each day of the weekend at home doing extra study. Yours sincerely   Abby 【解析】

阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。

首先请阅读下列餐馆的信息:

A. Pasta House – new Italian restaurant located in the heart of the city. Simple but delicious inexpensive meals. Also has a good range of vegetable-only meals. It’s always crowded so be ready to order take-away or share a table. Open 11 a.m. to midnight.

B. A Taste of India – famous for its spicy curries and many southern Indian dishes using chilli. You will usually be able to find a table during the week but if you’re planning to go on the weekend make sure you book a table in advance. Open noon to midnight.

C. Paris Match – this is the finest French restaurant in the city. Wonderful food you can enjoy in luxurious surrounding. The perfect place to have a romantic meal or impress a business partner, but be prepared for a large bill. Open noon to 2 a.m. Booking essential.

D. Mountain Diner – not fancy but tasty. Excellent Asian and European dishes. Countryside location surrounded by forest. It’s at least an hour’s drive from the city so you might want to stay at the nearby Mountain Hotel overnight. Open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

E. Owl Café – open 24 hours a day the café has a large selection of set breakfast, lunch and dinner meals for you to choose from, or you can enjoy one of their many delicious snacks and desserts over a cup of freshly made coffee.

F. Greek Bistro – a lively restaurant that serves great-value Greek food and has live Greek music played by a local band. Customers are encouraged to take part in the entertainment so be ready for a night of loud fun and laughter. Open 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.

 

以下是五个人的选择要求,请匹配每个人拟选择的地方:

56. Bill – was late getting up today so hasn’t had time to make breakfast. He wants to pick up something to eat before he goes to work so he has enough energy to last through to lunch time. 

57. Julie – works in the city and wants to get some lunch. She doesn’t want anything too special so long as it is tasty and not too expensive. Julie likes all kinds of food but because she is on a diet she wants to avoid anything containing meat. 

58. Sally – has friends visiting her from out-of-town and wants to take them to dinner. She wants to take them somewhere they can enjoy the atmosphere and have fun. She is a university student so doesn’t have a lot of money and doesn’t like her food too hot. 

59. Albert – is a businessman who will meet an important European client for a business dinner next week. Want to book a table at a quiet restaurant that will impress his guest with both its food and its surroundings. 

60. Robert – is meeting his friend Ben for lunch today (Tuesday) and wants to take him to a nice restaurant. Both Robert and Ben enjoy good quality spicy food. Robert doesn’t like arranging things in advance so he hasn’t booked a table.

There is a scene that is repeated up and down the land during the month of June. Outside a church in some Scottish town or village a small crowd has interrupted its daily affairs to gather on the pavement. Near the west door a dozen or so overdressed people are glancing impatiently at their watches. The men seem a little self-conscious in their hired kilts; the women hold their wind-blown dresses and loudly admire each other’s hats. They are all lively and talkative, yet at the same time strangely reserved. The crowd ignores them, barely noticing when they disappear into the church. Even the arrival of the groom rouses little excitement. These participants are not the main attraction. We are waiting for the bride.

Whatever her age or appearance, everyone will smile and express approval. By convention, all brides are beautiful. Nobody says so, but the spectators feel cheated unless she steps out of a car, dressed in white from head to toe. The nearer she matches their image, the greater their satisfaction. This event is not merely a wedding; it is a tradition, and such occasions are potentially dangerous. Participants must pay strict attention to detail. An untraditional bride destroys the magic.

When the crowd has left, some bystanders will remain to watch the bride walk out of church on the arm of her groom. The guests troop out behind the happy couple and all gather on the pavement with an obvious air of relief. A piper strikes up Mairi’s Wedding and the guests start shouting and jumping everywhere, putting the photographer off his work. Before bride and groom lead their party to the reception, someone is sure to disobey the priest and scatter forbidden confetti (五彩碎纸).

The particulars of this scene are modern; yet three elements are present that have existed since marriage in Scotland began—ancient Roman law redefined in a Christian context, Celtic tradition, and pre-Christian tradition.

51. Why is the scene mentioned in this article often seen all over Scotland in June?

A. It’s hot in June so men can wear kilts and women can put on beautiful dresses.

B. A lot of Scottish people like getting married at that time of the year.

C. In June people can get away from their daily affairs and go to church.

D. June is considered the luckiest month of the year.

52. The underlined word “them” (in Paragraph 1) refers to ________.

   A. the overdressed people     B. the bride and groom

   C. the people on the street     D. the people’s hats

53. Please put the following in correct order.

a. The bride arrives.

b. The couple walks out of the church.

c. A piper plays some music.

d. The groom arrives.

e. The bride and groom lead people to the reception.

f. People wait outside the church.  

A. f, d, a, c, b, e                 B. f, d, a, b, c, e

C. d, f, a, b, e, c                                      D. d, a, f, b, e, c                

54. The underlined part “putting the photographer off his work” (in Paragraph 3) most probably means _____.

A. making the photographer feel relieved

B. giving the photographer a chance to rest

C. disturbing the photographer when he is taking pictures

D. having the photographer taken away from his duty

55. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Women going to a wedding ceremony pay most attention to each other.

B. Spectators of a wedding ceremony are particularly interested in the groom.

C. Confetti is forbidden at the wedding ceremony because it is not all white.

D. If the bride is dressed all in white traditionally, she is considered beautiful.

                                  Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.

The book’s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.      

Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.

The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills and challenge them.

Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.

The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the thing under the bed that’s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”

Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don’t want bad dreams over a book that’s extremely wonderful,” Davis said.

46. Teachers and professors like the book Where the Wild Things Are because it helps children ________.

A. learn to draw their own pictures

B. understand their own fear

C. develop more quickly

D. become more imaginative

47. What is the intention of using the larger words in the book?

A. To add to the difficulty while children are reading.

B. To help challenge the children’s reading skills.

C. To cause the children some confusion.

D. To help children get involved in the story.

48. Which of the following is TRUE about the book?

A. The character Max is brave enough in the story.

   B. Max was sent to the forest as punishment.

   C. It is suitable for people of all ages.

   D. It is the most popular children’s book ever published.

49. What does Davis think of the movie?

A. She thinks children of all ages will love it.

B. She encourages children to see it to fight against their fear.

C. She worries that it might be too frightening for some children.

D. She believes it will be a better choice for children than the book.

50. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To suggest ways to improve children’s reading.

B. To comment on a famous children’s book.

C. To encourage children to read scary stories.

D. To introduce a movie based on a children’s book.

Ⅲ 阅读 (共两节,满分40分)

第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

                              6ec8aac122bd4f6eSchool phobia is a type of illness which causes students to be afraid to go to school. This condition is most commonly seen in children, typically between the ages of 8-13, and it can be very upsetting, especially if it is allowed to progress. Symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.

This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes. Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying (欺侮), an unrecognised learning disability, and poor self-image. Understanding the cause of a school phobia is an important step in providing treatment.

A child with school phobia usually refuses to go to school, or protests violently. He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. When the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioural problems in class and on the playground. When school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.

Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia, but research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. As soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. Like other phobias, school phobia gets worse the longer it is left untreated, and it can interfere with a child's success in school. Adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help. If bullying is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.

Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies that will help them to feel good about themselves. Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.

By following these methods we can help children to dispel their school phobia.

41. Which of the following topics is NOT discussed in the passage?

A. The definition of school phobia.

B. The history of school phobia.

C. The causes of school phobia.

D. The effects of school phobia.

42. What is a useful treatment for school phobia according to the passage?

A. Parents should allow their children occasional days off.

B. Teachers should be stricter with students.

C. Children should be helped to develop a sense of achievement.

D. Children should be regularly sent to psychologist.

43. The underlined word “dispel” (the last paragraph) probably means “________”.

A. accept                    B. realize       C. forget                        D. overcome

44. Which of the following statement might the author agree with?

A. School phobia is most often suffered by middle school students.

B. School phobia may have bad influence on children’s future life if neglected.

C. Children with school phobia should not be given medical treatment.

D. Most children with school phobia are pretending to be ill.

45. What are some of the reasons for school phobia mentioned in the passage?

   A. Bullying, recent devoice and moving to a new area.

   B. Learning disability, impatience and poor concentration.

   C. Stomachache, poor school performance and aggressive teachers.

   D. Shaking, lack of confidence and few friends.
