28、uld第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AThe UK is a tolerant, democratic society, where different beliefs and political views are respected. You will find that many people might dress in the same way and eat the same kinds of food you would in your own country. In the larger cities, there are shops that sel
29、l every imaginable type of food from around the world, from halal(清真屠宰的)meats and Asian vegetables to kosher (符合犹太教饮食规定的) desserts.As the UK has welcomed people from all over the world, it has also imported their cooking styles, foods, sauces and recipes. British cooking traditions of England, Scotl
30、and, Wales and Northern Ireland. Supermarkets offer vegetables, fruits, spices and other ingredients from all over the world and numerous smaller shops specialize in international foods.International students staying with British families can expect to eat the same sort of food as their host family.
31、 Host families will, of course, take into account any special dietary restrictions you may have for religious or other reasons.Meals and diets in the UK tend to vary to reflect the changing seasons of the year. For example, in winter, stews(炖肉或菜) and roasts tend to be popular, while in summer, salad

35、ost families.BThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeares time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealan
36、d. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the w
37、orld who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situation in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate workin
38、g knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the important works in science, technology, and other fields are
39、 being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number
40、of developing countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.59. What
41、would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning English.B. International Communications.C. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language.60.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowle

45、the United States.C. Former colonies of Great Britain.D. Countries where international conferences are held.CQueen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother of Britain, died on March 30, 2002, just a little over four months short of her 102nd birthday.Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon was born in 1900,
46、when Queen Victoria was still living. Her family was from the Scottish aristocracy(贵族). In 1923 Elizabeth married Berite(Albert), the shy and awkward son of George V. At first, she had turned him down, unsure whether she wanted to marry into the duties of the Royal Family.Her first daughter, born in
47、 1926, was also named Elizabeth. A second daughter, Margaret, was born four years later.In 1936, George V died, and his eldest son became King Edward . However, Edward gave up the throne soon afterwards. Albert ascended the throne(登基) as George , and was crowded with Elizabeth at his side the follow
48、ing year.During World War, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, the Queen refused to leave England. She, the King, and the young princesses stayed in London to share the danger with other Londoners, instead of spending the war years safely in Canada. This earned her respect and admiration.George died of
49、lung cancer in 1952, and their first daughter ascended the throne as Elizabeth . The senior Elizabeth took the title Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Later she said she was happy to be known simply as “the Queen Mum”.Her favorite grandson, Prince Charles, called her “the most wonderful example of f
50、un”. She enjoyed gin as well as champagne, planned official engagements around the houseracing calendar the expressed an ambition to become Britains oldest woman.64.

Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bower-Lyon married Albert.A. b, e, c, d, aB. e, c, b, d, aC. e, b, c, d, aD. b, a, c, d, eDThe latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, its p
54、urposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practicing their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, youd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldnt have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of dist
55、inction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea
56、 of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give
57、her a primary knowledge of her field. Shed be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practicing in this way, she delays the automatically performed skills. By prac
58、ticing slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problemshow do I get characters into a roomdoze
59、ns and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary quality our young write possesses is not some mysterious genius. Its the ablility to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest res
60、earch takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what were “hard-wired” to do. And its true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves th
61、rough behaviour.68. The passage mainly deals with_.A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writerB. the relationship between genius and successC. the decisive factor in making a geniusD. the way of gaining some sense of distinction69. By reading novels and writers stories, the girl could_.A. come t
62、o understand the inner structure of writing B. join a fascinating circle of writes somedayC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security70. In the girls long painstaking training process, _.A. her adviser forms a primary challenging
63、force to her successB. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceC. she acquires the magic of some great achievementsD. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write71. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in ones success.B. A respons
64、ible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C. As to the growth of a genius, I.Q. doesnt matter, but just his/her efforts.D. What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.EUnlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes t
65、o watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs fossils(恐龙化石) because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. Its very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results
66、 can be got from the same fossils. Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入) all at once, or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few c
67、enturies. Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “Thats pretty much settled at this point,
68、” says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distance together. As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living re
69、latives of dinosaursbirds and crocodilesfor possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but
70、we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaurs scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.72. Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by_.A. studying dinosaur fossilsB. examine mo
71、dern animalsC. watching dinosaursD. using telescopes73. What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?A. Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.74. Dinosaur scientists can probably k
72、now whether dinosaurs were good parents by_.A. watching many kinds of animalsB. studying dinosaurs living relativesC. following the tracks left behindD. working on dug-out dinosaur eggs75. Which of the following is true according to the 4th paragraph?A. Birds hardly pay attention to their young.B. B
73、aby crocodiles can look after themselves well.C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.第卷(非选择题，共35分)第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题; 每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右边横线上画一个钩（）； 如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右
