A
The most welcome sight on a
cold, wet winter night in London
is the
familiar shape of a London taxi cab approaching
with its
yellow “for hire” sign shining
brightly. That shows it is ready
to pick you
up. Travelling by taxi in London is not just a way
of going from one place to another. It is an
experience to be
enjoyed and remembered.
The main reason for this is the drivers, who
are called
“cabbies.” Many of them are true
Cockneys. This means they were
born in the
heart of London and speak their own special
dialect
(方言) of English. All of them know
every street and famous
building in the city,
and all of them love to talk. A simple
twenty-
minute journey across town can become very
interesting.
You may have a discussion about
the government and its leaders
or a friendly
talk about the driver’s Aunty Nellie! One thing
is for sure, it will never be boring. Cabbies
know all the latest
news about film stars, the
Royal Family, government leaders, and
popular
singers or actors and actresses.
They also
know the best places to eat, shop and relax. And
they
can take you straight to any large hotel,
department store,
theatre or museum. They know
the shortest way possible without
even looking
at a map, because everyone who wants to become a
taxi
driver must pass a very difficult
examination in order to get a
license to drive
a taxi. The exam is called “The Knowledge.”
It
is a written test, and in it drivers are asked the
shortest
way from one place to another. They
must take into account the
time of day — in
rush hour, a longer route (路线) may be
quicker—and describe the best way. Moreover
they must never
forget the one-way streets!
21. From what can we tell that someone
is a Cockney?
A. Their interest.
B. Their manners.
C. Their speech.
D. Their appearance.
22. What does
the author suggest by mentioning “Aunty Nellie”
in paragraph 2?
A. Passengers are
full of curiosity.
B. Cabbies’ topics
are wide-ranging.
C. Aunty Nellie is
popular in London.
D. Londoners are
friendly to each other.
23. What is the
purpose of “The Knowledge”?
A. To
qualify one to drive a taxi.
B. To
assess one’s driving skills.
C. To test
drivers’ ability to write.
D. To check
taxi drivers’ memory.

This month millions of American kids can
forget about
classroom bells and set off for
grandparents’ homes, sleep-away
camps and
lifeguard stands. But summer vacation hasn’t
always
been a birthright of . schoolchildren.
Before the Civil War,
schools operated on one
of two calendars (日历), neither of which
included a summer vacation. Rural (农村的)
schooling was divided
into summer and winter
terms, leaving kids free to help with the
farm
work in the spring planting and fall harvest
seasons. Urban
students, meanwhile, regularly
had as many as 48 weeks of study
a year, with
one break per quarter.
In the 1840s, however,
educational reformers like Horace Mann
moved
to combine the two calendars out of concern that
rural
schooling was not enough and that
overusing of young minds could
lead to nervous
disorders. Summer appeared as the obvious time
for a break: it offered a rest for teachers,
fit in the farming
calendar and reduced
doctors’ concern that packing students into
hot classrooms would promote the spread of
disease.
But people’s opinion about the modern
. school year, which
averages 180 days, is
still divided. Some experts say its pleasant
but lazy summer break, which took hold in the
early 20th century,
is one of the reasons math
skills and graduation rates of . high
schoolers ranked well below average in
two international
education reports published
in 2007. Others insist that with
children
under increasing pressure to devote their downtime
to
internships (实习) or study, there’s still
room for an
institution that protects the lazy
days of childhood.
24. What did the rural
school calendar before the Civil War allow
children to do?
A. Enjoy a summer
vacation.
B. Take a break each quarter.
C. Have 48 weeks of study a year.
D. Assist their parents with farm work.
25.
What did the educational reformers do in the
1840s?
A. They introduced summer
vacation.
B. They shortened rural school
terms.
C. They promoted the study of
farming.
advocated higher pay for
teachers.
26. Why are some people unhappy
about the modern . school year?
A. It
pushes the teachers too hard.
B. It
reduces the quality of education.
C. It
ignores science instruction.
D. It
includes no time for internships.

C
I start every summer with the best of
intentions: to attack
one big book from the
past, a classic that I was supposed to have
read when young and ambitious. Often the
pairings of books and
settings have been
purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day
cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain”
in a New England
beachside cottage with no
locks on the doors, no telephones or
televisions in the rooms, and little to do
beyond row on the salt
pond. Attempting “The
Man Without Qualities” on a return to
Hawaii,
my native state, however, was less fruitful: I
made it
through one and a quarter volumes (册),
then decided that I’d
got the point and went
swimming instead.
But this summer I find
myself at a loss. I’m not quite
interested in
Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” There’s
always “War and Peace,” which I’ve covered
some distance
several times, only to get
bogged down in the “War” part, set
it aside
for a while, and realize that I have to start over
from
the beginning again, having forgotten
everyone’s name and social
rank. How
appealing to simply fall back on a favorite — once
more
into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which
feels almost like
cheating, too exciting and
too much fun to properly belong in
serious
literature.
And then there’s Stendhal’s “The
Red and the Black,” which
happens to be the
name of my favorite cocktail (鸡尾酒) of the
summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy
and Back Forty. It
is easy to drink, and
knocking back three or four seems like such
a
delightful idea. Cecconi’s theory: “I take
whatever’s fresh
at the greenmarket and turn
it into liquid.” The result is a pure
shot of
afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful
and
peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass
with eyes shut, sun
beating through the
lids...
27. What can we infer about the author
from the first paragraph?
A. He has a
cottage in New England.
B. He shows
talents for literature.
C. He enjoys
reading when traveling.
D. He admires a
lot of great writers.
28. What do the
underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph
2 mean?
A. Get confused.
B. Be carried away.
C. Be
interrupted.
D. Make no progress.
29. Why does the author say reading his
favorite books feels like
cheating?
A. He finishes them quickly.
B.
He should read something serious.
C. He
barely understands them.
D. He has read
them many times before.
30. What can be a
suitable title for the text?
A. The
Books of Summer
B. My Summer Holidays
C. To Read or Not to Read
D.
It’s Never Too Late to Read

Some people are so rude. Who sends
an e-mail or a text message
that just says
“Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message
rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact
easily found on the
Internet? 31
Maybe
I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s
little
courtesies (礼节). But many social norms
(规范) just don’t make
sense to people drowning
in digital communication.
Take the thank-you
note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor
of
Emily Post’s Etiquette
, asked, “At what
point does showing
appreciation outweigh the
cost?”
32 Think of how long it takes to
listen to one of those
messages. In texts, you
don’t have to declare who you are or even
say
hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The
worst are those
who leave a voice mail and
then send an e-mail message to tell
you they
left a voice mail.
This isn’t the first time
technology has changed our
manners. 33
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested
that people say, “Ahoy!” Finally, hello won
out, and the victory
sped up the greeting’s
use in face-to-face communications.
In the age
of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask
once-acceptable questions about: the weather
forecast, a
business’s phone number, or
directions to a house, a restaurant,
or an
office, which can be easily found on a digital
map. 34 And when you answer, they respond
with a
thank-you e-mail.
How to handle
these differing standards? Easy: Consider your
audience. Some people, especially older ones,
appreciate a
thank-you message. 35 In
traditional societies, the young
learn from
the old. But in modern societies, the old can also
learn
from the young. Here’s hoping that
politeness never goes out of
fashion but that
time-wasting forms of communication do.
A.
Then there is voice mail.
B. Others, like
me, want no reply.
C. But people still ask
these things.
D. Don’t these people
realize that they’re wasting your
time?
E. Won’t new technology bring about changes in our
daily
life?
F. Face-to-face
communication makes comprehension much
easier.
G. When the telephone was invented, people
didn’t know
how to greet a caller.

The Caffeine Catch
Caffeine, a chemical
typically found in coffee, has caused
a lot of
concern because it is one of the few drugs that
show up
regularly in our food supply. You
probably 56 (use)
caffeine since
childhood. Caffeine 57 (be) in your
first
Coke. If you ever enjoyed a chocolate bar, you ate
caffeine.
Soft drinks are the major
source (来源) of caffeine for most
children and
even some adults. 58 (recent), caffeine
has found its way into orange, apple, and
other flavored drinks.
Small amounts of
caffeine — a cup 59 two of coffee
a day —
seem safe for most people. However, some people
have
trouble with even small amounts. One cup
of
coffee 60 the late afternoon or evening
will
cause 61 (they) to stay awake almost
all night. Larger
amounts of caffeine can
cause a
problem 62 (call)
caffeinism
. You get very nervous and
you can’t sleep.
It is possible 63
caffeine may cause birth defects
(缺陷) in
humans, too. One study showed that 64 (woman)
who drank a lot of coffee, like eight or more
cups per day, while
they were pregnant were
more likely 65 (have) children

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It’s a really good idea to visit colleges
before you apply
because their websites can
all start to look and sound the same.
Nothing
will give you the sense of what it will actually
be like
to live on a college campus (校园) like
visiting and seeing for
yourself the dorms,
classrooms and athletic equipment and, of
course, the students. It seems a little crazy
once senior year
hits to find the time to
visit college campuses, and it can also
be
pricey if the schools you are applying to happen
to be more
than a car ride away. But keep in
mind that you are making a
decision about the
next four years of your life, and do all the
research you can to make sure you are making
the right one.
There’s no excuse not to visit
the schools in your local area.
In fact, a lot
of college applications even ask if you have
visited
campus, and obviously, if you live
across the country that won’t
be as much of a
possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it
out!
If campus visits aren’t going to
happen before you apply, at
the very least you
should find some time between applying and
getting your acceptance letters to visit the
schools you’d like
to attend. It can save you
a lot of heartache if you rule out now
the
things that you don’t like about certain campuses,
things
that you wouldn’t know unless you
actually visit.
Now, if time and money are
making it impossible, then check
out the
online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive. It’s a
chance
to chat online with admissions
officers, students, and college
counselors
(顾问), and it won’t cost you a penny! You can
register
for its online college fair at .
While visiting an online college
fair can’t
take the place of an actual campus visit, it can
be
a very useful tool that along with all your
other research will
help you make an informed
decision about which colleges or
universities
you’d like to attend.
