A
In ancient times, there was a painter. He was good at painting flowers and birds. But he never stopped practicing until he became very famous.
An emperor (皇帝) of China also loved paintings, especially roosters (公鸡). So he asked the famous painter to paint a rooster for him. He wanted the rooster to be the best among all his collections.
The painter promised to do so. The emperor waited and waited for one year, but he didn’t get the picture. He couldn’t waited to see the painter. He became angry and wanted to kill him. So the painter hurried into the palace with paper, paint and a brush. In five minutes, a perfect rooster was on the paper.
After seeing this, the emperor became much angrier. “Since you can paint a rooster in five minutes, why did you keep me waiting for over a year ” he asked.
“Your Majesty (陛下), ”said the artist. “I will let you know why. But you’ll have to come with me.” he invited the emperor to his house. There, there were piles and piles of paper. On every piece of paper was a painting of a rooster.
“Your Majesty (陛下),” said the painter. “It took me more than one year to improve my painting skill in order to paint a perfect rooster for you.”
1. According to the writer, the emperor ________ .
A. loved beautiful paintings B. did very well in painting
C was good at painting roosters D. was very kind to the painter
2. The painter spent ________ practicing painting roosters for the emperor.
A. only a few months B. only five minutes

My house is made of wood, glass and stone. It is also made of software.
If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you, which is in fact a computer.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that several years from now on, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.
4. The writer’s house is NOT made of ________.
A. bricks B. wood C. glass D. software
5. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.
C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.
6. Why is the writer’s new house different from ordinary ones
A. Because it has your favourite music following you.
B. Because you can make a telephone call anywhere.
C Because the writer is able to change his new idea into practice.
D. Because it has been controlled by computers.
7. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage
A. An IT expert. B. A famous engineer.
C. A game player. D. An experienced teacher.
C
I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say.
And who cares Why do people want things to be perfect Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
8. What is this passage about
A. Italian pizza. B. Italy’s problems.
C. How the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name. D. Why the writer likes Pisa.
9. The writer used to think Pisa______.
A. in Spain B. not very famous C. not the same as pizza D. the same as pizza
10. Which of the following about the Leaning Tower of Pisa is true
A. It’s modern B. It’s falling down C. It’s 600 years old D. It’s 60 years old.
11. The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because________.
A. it’s old B. it’s perfect C. it sells pizza D. it’s imperfect
D
It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, “If I finish my work, I’ll meet you in the cafe at 7 o’clock.” Is she saying “yes” or “no” to his invitation
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional (有条件的) structure. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question. If the girl doesn’t want to go out with the boy, she won’t turn up at the cafe. She will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn’t want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional that shows probability; she is quite likely to turn up at the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
The conditional is often used by people in the news — politicians, for example — who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, “If we could pay you more, we would.” The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
“If” is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the First — probability — if I can come to your party, I will; the Second — improbability — if I saw you tomorrow, I’d give you the book; and the Third — impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened) — if you have told me, I would have helped you.
12. The using of the conditional can make a speech ________.
A. clearer B. quicker C. more polite D. more exciting
13. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
D. The word “if” can show different meanings.
14. According to the author, what does the underlined sentence probably imply
A. The workers will make more money. B. The workers probably won’t get any pay rise.
C. The spokesman keeps his word. D. The workers’ problems aren’t difficult.
15. This passage is mainly talking about ________.
A. the conditional in communication B. how to invite a girl in Britain
C. British people and their life D. some language points in daily English

In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional (有条件的) structure. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question. If the girl doesn’t want to go out with the boy, she won’t turn up at the cafe. She will let him understand she is still working.

It can show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the First — probability — if I can come to your party, I will; the Second — improbability — if I saw you tomorrow, I’d give you the book; and the Third — impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened) — if you have told me, I would have helped you.( “If”是一个很小的单词，在英语中经常出现。它可以表现出礼貌、间接引语和条件句，比如第一种——可能性——如果我能来参加你的聚会，我就来;第二种——不太可能——如果我明天见到你，我会把书给你;第三个——不可能(意思是已经发生的事情已经来不及改变了)——如果你告诉我，我会帮助你的)”可知，D选项“if这个词可以表示不同的意思”正确。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.(虽然说话者使用的是第二条件句，但这里条件句的使用为争论留下了空间，这表明了不可能性。因此，工人们不太可能得到加薪)”可知，工人们可能得不到任何加薪。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional (有条件的) structure. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question.(从语法上讲，她使用的是条件句结构。通过使用条件句，说英语的人可以避免对问题给出“是”或“否”的回答)”结合文章主要说明了条件句的三种含义以及使用情况。可知，这篇文章主要讨论了交际中的条件句。故选A。

【16题详解】
本句在文章的开头，可以推测出该句子是一个能够概括本文中心且起到承上启下的作用。又根据该空前面的The answer is-to be a volunteer（答案就是做一名志愿者）可以判断出本句内容应该是对volunteer做出详细的解释，在备选项当中只有F项符合。所以选择F项。

He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right be hind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third.

【答案】Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
