三、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选
项中，选择最佳选项。（共26分，每小题2分
A
One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no one called Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor. But Americans would call it the second floor.
The story shows that there are some differences in culture between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans like to use soccer, rubber and post.
When we go to other countries, we’d better go online to search for something about the cultures there. It’ll be helpful for the trip.
21. Simon went to London to _________.
A. have a meeting B. study English
C. spend his holiday D. visit his friend
22. Which picture shows us where Rick’s flat was?

23. According to the passage, the British usually spend their time ______ on the train.
A. playing cards B. talking loudly
C. doing some reading D. singing and dancing

On a warm day in 2050, Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house and turn on the computer in their bedroom to get the latest news. They used to read The Guardian, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
Frank first reads some news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars. Then they turn to sports news. As they watch the screen, Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them.
Then Frank disappears into another room to join a video meeting with his business partners around the world. Frank is a computer engineer. Mary is still in their bedroom. She picks up the video phone to talk to her assistant(助理). Mary also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have office jobs in London, but in 2040 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.
Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise. She goes to school only three days a week, mainly to ask her teachers questions, discuss her homework or play with other students. Some classrooms disappeared in 2035 because there was no longer much need for them. The Internet had made it easier to learn at home.
Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They share many things online.

Do you need to “edit(编辑、剪辑) your friends”? Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don’t really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answer yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.
Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don’t have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our life gets busier, it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see, people we love and who really love us. But usually we don’t have any time to get together with them.
Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to choose between necessary things and unnecessary ones. It says you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends.
What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it’s an old friend, somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but when you meet now, you have very little or nothing to say to Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think “Do I really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no, say no and make an excuse. In that way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends.
27. People need to edit their friends when ___________.
A. they have moved to a different area
B. they have no time with their real friends
C. their friends have gone out to work or school
D. their friends have got on quite well with them
28. People don’t need to edit their ___________.
A. old friends B. new friends
C. real friends D. young friends 
29. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A. We should often ask questions.
B. We should treat our friends well.
C. Most of our friends are not necessary at all
D. We should ask ourselves who our real friends are.

D
Sometimes parents spoil(溺爱) too much their children, because they offer them too much attention and try to carry out all their wishes. It is true that a good mother wants her child to be happy and to spend the most time with him or her. Anyway, it is sometimes suitable for mothers to leave their children much time alone, because he or she needs to create his or her own personality without the influence of the others around. As a child, what do you think of that? Do you like the time your parents spend most with you or the time your parents leave you alone?
Mothers’ behavior can be, at times, negative for their children if they spoil them too much. Children should also know that things cannot always happen the way they want, and they have to accept this. Crying and yelling aren’t always the perfect ways to attract their mother or father, in order to make them do a certain thing. Therefore, mothers who used to spoil their children too much should not give up their jobs in order to stay at home with their children, because they give a negative education to these children. A girl won’t be able to make her bed, iron a pair of trousers, tidy up her room and so on, because it’s her mother’s duty to do those for her, while she can do other things like playing with her mobile phone, watching TV, listening to music or wearing some make-up to go out with her friends. What about your mother? Does she go to work or stay at home to take good care of you? Can you do some chores for yourself or do some housework for the family?
In my opinion, a good mother knows what education should be given to her child without giving up her job. Moreover, a mother is a good mother she is able to combine the both things: the education of her child and the job. Even if she doesn’t have much time to spend with her child, a good mother knows what advice should be given to her child, for example, to listen to his or her problems, to help a little with homework and to offer him or her the independence he or she needs. What’s your idea? Would you like your parents to get jobs? So, what should you do to make them believe that you can grow up as a person?
30. Which of the following shows that a mother spoils her children?
A. She cares for them too much. B. She brings them with her.
C. She leaves them alone at home. D. She tries to realize her own dreams.
31. According to the writer, a spoil child usually thinks that ____________.
A. his parents are always very negative
B. his parents will do everything for him
C. he can express himself in the perfect way
D. accidents always take place in the same way
32. The underlined word “combine” in Paragraph 3 probably means ____________.
A. provide B. protect C. complain D. connect
33. The last paragraph of this passage is mainly about ____________.
A. the education and the job B. how to be a good mother
C. children’s early education D. the importance of the independence

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
Today at 11:00 I will be doing something that some people told me that I would never be able to do. I am graduating from college. When I graduated from high school, my family had a business so I never thought about getting a college degree. I went straight to work for my father. After 24 years of ups and downs (mostly downs), I decided that I went to return to school and earn a degree in Business Administration.
Some people told me that it was too late. Some told me that I was too old. Others told me that I would never be able to pull it off, because I had to work full time and as a mother, I had to look after my children, too. Anyhow, almost everyone around me didn’t think I could finish college. But inside I was told something different.
I began to look for chances to go to school. One day while looking up information on how to go about getting into college, a little window popped up (弹出) on my screen. It said, “Do you think you are too old to go back to school?” I was so excited that I clicked on the box at once and there I found an online college. I spoke to someone in the school. They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted so that I could go to work. I also found out that I could have classes at home so that I could be there for my children.
Now today, almost 2 years later, I will not only be graduating with honors. I have been on the Dean’s list for almost the whole time I have been in college. And I also got very good scores in every exam.
So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible, remember this: if I had listened to those people who told me, I couldn’t do it then. The man who has made up his mind to win will never say “impossible”.
34. Why didn’t the writer go on with education after graduating high school?
35. How many years later did the writer decide to return to school?
36. Did the people think the writer could finish college?
37. Where did the writer have classes?
38. What does the writer
