house to my son's flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability,I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.       Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately, I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.       At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing. "You've hit the car parked behind you," they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car's windscreen,giving my phone number.       I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. "Just charge me," I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he'd witnessed others in this state before. "How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive it back? " he asked.       He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful. （1）The man felt_ to have delivered the furniture himself.A. gratefulB. regretfulC. proudD. confident （2）The man trembled violently because_.A. he caused a terrible traffic accidentB. driving the lorry was too difficult for himC. he was afraid to see the three peopleD. the furniture was too heavy for him （3）The man said he was a bad man most probably because_.A. he made the traffic accident on purposeB. he parked the big lorry on the pavementC. he shouldn't have driven the lorry himselfD. he shouldn't have caused trouble for the disabled （4）The writer intended to suggest that_.A. it was exciting to drive a lorryB. it was hard to avoid accidentsC. being too confident is foolishD. the boss was expert in driving 3.     If you were bringing friends home to visit, you could show them the way. You know the landmarks - a big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Could you still find your way home? A loggerhead turtle（海龟）could.       According to Dr. Ken Lohmann,loggerheads have a magnetic（磁力的）sense based on Earth's magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and their home beaches.       Scientists already know that several other animals,such as whales and honeybees,can detect（探测到）magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however, is the way they learn to use their magnetic sense. Young whales and honeybees can learn from adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs.       As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, what helps them figure out how to use their magnetic sense?  Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.       Baby loggerheads hatch only at night. However,a small amount of light reflects off the ocean. The light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them get quickly out to sea,where they can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic "compasses"（罗盘）. He and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swam. Around the tank,the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earth's. They set a weak light to the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go.       At first,the newborns swam toward the light. After the scientists turned off the light,the turtles that had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed（颠倒）the magnetic field, these turtles turned around and swam toward the new "east".       This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside world to set their magnetic "compasses" and then remember the "correct" direction. If a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach, that would damage its magnetic sense forever and make survival hard for the turtle.       Lohmann's work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species. Yet many questions about these creatures remain unanswered, and researchers have a lot to study. （1）Loggerheads and whales differ in the way they_.A. detect magnetic fieldsB. recognize landmarksC. learn to find directionsD. bring up their young （2）In the experiment,after the newborns' magnetic sense was set,their moving direction was determined by_.A. the lightB. other unknown factorsC. the magnetic fieldD. the light and the magnetic field （3）What is the significance of Lohmann's research work？_A. It enables researchers to keep track of turtles.B. It contributes to the studies of the magnetic field.C. It helps protect the loggerheads' living environment.D. It offers a new solution to environmental pollution. （4）What could be the best title of the passage？_A. Comparison of Loggerheads and Other AnimalsB. Experiments on LoggerheadsC. The Survival of the Sea TurtleD. The Loggerhead's Built-in "Compass" 4.     One of the best parts of the school day is the time spent in the playground. It's a chance to be with friends,run around and have fun. However,at the Rudyard Kipling Primary School in Brighton, things were getting too hard,so the teachers decided something had to be done. The school's new rules,which restrict（限制）physical activities and encourage pupils only to touch if they are playing friendlier games,have attracted a lot of attention.       Most people say that they are a bad restriction. Parents of children at the school,in Brighton,East Sussex,talked about the bizarre rule -  saying their kids were now bored at playtime. A teacher for the school defended（辩护）the rues, saying,"We want to make sure the playground is a happy,safe and calm place where everyone can enjoy their lunchtime running around and getting the exercise that we know is important to them."       Some people say that Rudyard Kipling Primary School's decision is a good one because it makes the playground more fun for everyone. Not all children enjoy playing rough（剧烈的）games or sports at playtime. Friendlier games ensure everyone can join in. The teachers only have the pupils' best interests at heart,so they should be trusted to make the right decision. Besides,if someone gets hurt in the playground,that could distract（分心）the teachers from other accidents.       However, some people think it's an overreaction. Sometimes physical games can lead to injuries,but banning（禁止）such activities is unreasonable. In fact,it is only during physical games that you can build up your ability to recover quickly from falling over. Even if these physical activities aren't your favorite way to spend break time,it's difficult to see why they will be completely banned. Each pupil should be able to decide what they want to do. Besides,schools should be happy that their students want to exercise between classes as this will keep them fit and healthy, and teachers should encourage this, not prevent it. （1）What was the result of the rule made by the Rudyard Kipling Primary School？_A. It was made into law.B. It was supported by parents.C. It encouraged students to do sports.D. It made the school widely discussed. （2）What does the underlined word "bizarre" in Paragraph 2 mean？_A. Simple.B. Strange.C. Important.D. Reasonable. （3）What is one reason why some people think the school made a wise decision？_A. It saves more lunchtime.B. It helps students pay more attention to their study.C. It brings more fun to every kid.D. It makes students more independent. （4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph？_A. Physical games can injure kids.B. Physical games are good for students health.C. Teachers should do sports with students.D. Restricting physical activities is unreasonable.第二节（共1小题；每小题10分， 共10分）根据短文内容， 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。  When you go to a foreign country, you often enter a new culture. The differences between cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adjust to the new surroundings, which is usually called "culture shock".    The psychological and physical symptoms of culture shock may appear depending on the individuals. Some often feel anxious while adjusting to a new culture-even more so when the cultural distances are wide.（1）_They remain so homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends back home that they long to return, especially within the first year.    （2）_People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely because the language barrier makes it hard to create new relationships. Furthermore, having trouble with the native language often makes them unwilling to interact with other people.    （3）_You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history,customs, and religious beliefs,rather than on what to see and where to go, so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours. Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures.（4）_    A local club provides the perfect environment to get to know people who have a similar focus, so join one so that you can meet some locals and develop new friendships.（5）_There are other travelers who have the same experiences in a foreign country. Talk with them, sharing feelings, tips and insight.A. Still, the most important change is communication.B. They may lose appetite and have sleep problems.C. They make a lot of effort to get used to the new surroundings.D. Learning about your future destination is a great way to get over culture shock.E. The more of it is understood, the more of the new culture can be understood.F. Actually, staying in a foreign country helps you to know more of the new culture.G. Plus, remember that you aren't alone in your struggle to adjust in a new country. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分， 满分30分）阅读下面短文， 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。  As I held my father's hands one night,I couldn't help but notice their
