Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.1.

According to the writer, a good driver should .A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want toD. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel3.

Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹饪) landscape.According to Taobao, Chinas biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.However, one cant help but believe that the documentarys popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film .Formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long” A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in peoples lives. Yet Chinas food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didnt work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations. As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China-it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.9. The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_.A. beautiful clothes B. latest technology C. delicious food D. great inventions10. The second paragraph mainly talks about_.A. the producer of the document B. the content of the documentC. the history of Chinese gourmet D. The popularity of the document11. We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well received article that _.A. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food cultureB. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the realityC. the price of food is too high for many common peopleD. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director12. According to the passage, Chinas food industry is full of faking and cheating because_.A. there are still so many poor people at the present timeB. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isnt serious enoughC. the Chinese government encourages it to do soD. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countriesDFor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “Youll feel great.” Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, Im not alone in my opinion. First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasnt just the first week; it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? I dont jog any more, and I dont think I ever will. Im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. Im getting exercise, and Im enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and Ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.13. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.A. heart attacks B. back problems C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses14. What was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful.15. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。选项中有两项为多余选项。Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till its too late. 16 Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success. Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 17 Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy? 18 Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. Thats because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until its too late. 19 In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date. 20 Im pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, youll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior. A. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals. B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action. C. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun. D. If its the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.E. Its a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.F. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分55分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher?
