[解析] 17-20 Could I have your attention please? Thank you. As I told you this morning, this afternoon is our shopping afternoon. If you have a look at the back page of your tour programme, you'll see a little map of the city centre, with the names of some of the shops marked. As you won't have too much time, I'm just going to explain to you what they sell. We're now in the Friendship Shopping Centre. On your right is Larp's, a very good place for shoes and boots, rather than gloves, bags, clothes or others. Opposite that is Li Ning, a good place for sports goods, not cheap, but really pretty. Next door to Li Ning is a place for books. They have got books on almost every subject anyone has ever written about, airplanes to animals, but Chinese only--so none of your English books I'm afraid. If you walk along, there are shops which sell cameras, radios, and so on, which you won't buy, I'm afraid. If you are tired or would like to have a nice cup of afternoon tea, I suggest Splend Tea Shop, where you can have British afternoon tea, with very good home-made cakes, chocolates and others. The shop is two blocks away from here, but within walking distance.
13. What does Larp's sell?
A.Bags.
B.Shoes.
C.Clothes.

A We walked so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed to a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to have a seat. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop(拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse said. She looked at mum strangely and said," But aren't you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until I couldn't see her and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book. After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She rapidly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, mum told me. "Dagmar is fine. No fever." "You saw her, mum?" "Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."

B In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (慧星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth' s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rashes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities On the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are mined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙)were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
1. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094?
A.The whole world becomes extremely cold.
B.All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed.
C.The whole mankind becomes extinct.
D.The visit of the comet results in wars.

C
[解析] 作者在这篇科幻小说中描述了2094年7月17日彗星撞击,地球后的情形。在倒数的第二段作者说,“A year later civilization has collapsed.No more than 10 million people have survived”,而不是人类在地球上灭绝了。extinct 的意思是“灭绝”。所以正确的答案为C。
2. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?
A.Because they could only live in the warm climate.
B.Because they once dominated the earth.
C.Because their extinction indicates future disasters.
D.Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.
C It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.
1. It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to______.
A.how much education one has received
B.whether one is single or married
C.how old one's children are
D.where one lives
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。题干意为“文章提到,一个人应该根据什么来缴税?”由文章的第一段第一句话看出,一个人所缴税款是由很多方面决定的。whether the man is married 是其中的一项:,所以正确的答案为B。
2. The word "proper" in the first line of the second paragraph means______.
3. After a lot of work, the artist thought that he had paid the government______.
A.less tax than he should have
B.more tax than he should have
C.as much tax as usual
D.just enough tax
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。题干意为“经过计算后,艺术家认为这次他缴纳的税款如何?”从文章的第三段内容可知,He believed that he owed the government something.根据意思,他认为自己仍欠政府的钱,缴纳的应该比实际缴的多。所以正确的答案为A。
4. Why did the tax-collector send a letter to the artist?
A.To send him a new tax form.
B.To return the money over-paid.
C.To remind him of paying the tax.
D.To explain the rules of tax-paying.
A B C D
B
[解析] 判断推理题。题干意为“为什么税务官给艺术家钱?”由文章的最后一句话可知,too much had been paid,他的税额交多了,因此,多余的税款现在退还纳税人。所以正确的答案为B。
D It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness(近视). As more children have got eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to one's eyes should start with the exercise on one' s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows: Firstly, don't fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loose socks or walking barefooted at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation (循环) easier. Secondly, walking on tiptoes will help improve one's eyesight, and prevent nearsightedness. Figures show that few ballet (芭蕾舞) performers are nearsighted. Thirdly, rope skipping also does good to one's eyesight. When skipping the rope, one has to react quickly, which excites the brain as well as the eyes. It will also help make one grow taller. Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one's ears. Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the pressure on one's eyes soon.
1. To cure nearsightedness, people don't usually______.
A.depend on medicine
B.use equipment
C.think of foot exercises
D.pay attention to correcting the way children read and sit
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。从文章第一自然段第二句... their parents hope to cure the disease by medicine,equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit 暗示了当人们进行眼部保健时,很少有人能想到要进行足部锻炼。
2. What is the main point the writer is trying to make about the first method?
A.One should let one's feet be free.
B.One should protect one's feet to protect one's eyes.
C.One should protect one's eyes to protect one's feet.
