for?A.Teachers.B.Parents.C.Students.D.Scientists.B Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said,“Ooh,isnt it cold?”,and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather.In fact,the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy.Not necessarily a long conversation just an exchange of greetings.It is not always quite that obvious,but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules.The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on,or perhaps most importantly,agree about.We have already established that weather-speak greetings like“Cold,isnt it?”require the response expressing agreement,as in“Yes,isnt it?”.It would be very rude to respond with“No,actually its quite mild.”or“Its pretty hot to me.”If you deliberately break the rule,you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward.There may be an uncomfortable silence.Most likely,they will either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely,if coldly,ignoring your faux pas.There is,however,one situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument,particularly the pub-argument.In the special environment of the pub,constant disagreement not just on the weather,but on everything else as well is a means of expressing friendship.While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather,foreigners are not allowed to criticize it.Indeed,this brings us to the weather as family rule.In this respect,we treat the English weather like a member of our family:one can complain about the behaviour of ones own children or parents,but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable.The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and unashamedly patriotic(爱国的).24.Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy?A.To build up friendship.B.To begin a casual chat.C.To send seasonal greetings.D.To express dissatisfaction.25.What does the underlined phrase“faux pas”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Improper response.B.Careless attitude.C.Rude interruption.D.Frequent complaint.26.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Male bonding in pubs.B.Argument about weather.C.Exception to the agreement rule.D.Making friends by disagreement.27.What is the best title for this text?A.Politeness Tips for Foreigners B.Accepted Rules in Social Life C.English Politeness in Weather Conversation D.Hidden Rules of English Weather Conversation C In Old Town Alexandria,Virginia,you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument,the glass harp(竖琴).A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses,each filled with water.Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.By doing so,each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.Jamey Turner is 78 years old.Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six,when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years.Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands,which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound,while the larger ones produce a lower,deeper sound.Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶)and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses,he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument.There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music,even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days,but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube.He hopes the next generation will continue making its music.28.What do visitors think of Jamey Turners performance?A.Boring.B.Attractive.C.Special.D.Common.29.How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses?A.By beating the glasses in different parts.B.By placing the glasses on a wooden board.C.By adding or reducing water in the glasses.D.By holding different glasses with rubber bands.30.What may be Jamey Turners real worry about the glass harp?A.Little music is written for the instrument.B.People are trying to play the instrument online.C.Few people are playing the instrument these days.D.The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.31.What is the best title for this text?A.Making Music by Playing Glasses B.Special Sounds from Glasses C.Devotion to Playing Glasses for Fun D.Fingers over the Tops of the Glasses D Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩)use to communicate.They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a“vocabulary”of 66 gestures.The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda,and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr.Catherine Hobaiter,who led the research,said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom.Only humans and chimps,she said,had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.“Thats whats so amazing about chimp gestures,”she said.“Theyre the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animals call,the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages.This was a significant difference between calls and gestures,Dr.Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate.In one case,a mother presents her foot to her crying baby,signalling:“Climb on me.”The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together.”The big message from this study is that there is another species(物种)out there that is meaningful in its communication,so thats not unique to humans,”said Dr.Hobaiter.Dr.Susanne Shultz,an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester,said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language.But,she added,the results were“a little disappointing”.“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate,or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,”she said.“Moreover,the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication.So,it seems the gulf remains.”32.What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr.Hobaiter?A.Memorizing specific words.B.Understanding complex information.C.Using voices to communicate.D.Communicating messages on purpose.33.What did Dr.Shultz think of the study?A.It was well designed but poorly conducted.B.It was a good try but the findings were limited.C.It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.D.It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.34.What does the underlined word“gulf”in the last paragraph mean?A.Difference.B.Conflict.C.Balance.D.Connection.35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough B.Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills C.Chimpanzees:the smartest species in the animal kingdom D.Chimpanzee language:communication gestures translated 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Figures published by the UK government in 2006 revealed that:42%of marriages in the UK end in divorce:24%of children grow up in single-parent families:the average number of children in a British family is 1.9.36 Is it an endangered species?With the average number of children in a British family falling beneath an average of 2.0,the population of the UK has been falling for quite a few years.The size of the British workforce is declining and the average age of the workforce is rising.37 Why arent the British having as many children as they used to?38 One of them is that British people are now having their children at a much older age than previously,meaning they have fewer years in which they can have children.39 Well,houses are incredibly expensive in the UK,so many people are forced to stay with their parents early in their careers.And no one wants to start a new family when they are still living with their parents!So its not until people are about 30 years old that they can afford to move out,buy their own home,and then they can start to think about setting down and having children.So what is Britain doing to try and save the British family?40 There have been increases in Child Benefit money families can claim from the state.Also,there is an increasing amount of government subsidy(补贴)for nursery schools,so that parents do not need to pay so much for childcare.In addition.there are now laws allowing parents to take more time off work so that they can look after their children themselves rather than having to pay others to do it.A.Well,there is a whole range of reasons.B.So what is happening to the British family?C.What about marriage and buying a home?D.This trend is quite worrying for the British economy.E.Its a bad“work-life balance”and is damaging British society.F.First of all,the government is trying to make it cheaper to have children.G.The main reason is that it is relatively expensive to bring up a child in the UK.第三部分 英语知识应用（共两节，满分 50 分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 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各个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白出的最佳选项。In January this year,a fire destroyed the building that
