When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.
When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.
A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to
teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.
Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another’s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.
I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn’t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case
where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I
feel rich, and thank you for
being a good friend,” she
said, and we were both a bit
teary.
I went home and remembered a little wallet I
had that I’d never used, and
thought, “I’ll give that to
my friend.” I opened it, and
inside, found $ 100.
25. What did the 1937
crown coin from the author’s
father mean to her mother?
A. His concern for her.
B. His pity
C. His care and love for
her. D. His prid
26. Where did the
author’s friend keep the
$ 100 dollar-bill?
A. In the back of her wallet.
B. In a little pencil case.
C. In the pocket of her
raincoat.
D. In the layer of her suitcase. 27. What can be inferred
from the last paragraph?
A. The author became rich
all of a sudden.
B. The author’s friend
would receive a wallet as a
gift.
C. The author’s friend
was not touched by her story.
D. The author felt
uncomfortable when receiving
the bill.
28. What can be the best
title for the text?
A. A crown coin
B. The hel
C. A hard life
D. A gift fr
C In China, chain restaurants — especially the big multinational ones — are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also , “I’m cosmopolitan （见多识广的） enough to be part of g lobalization.” Where I come from in the UK ，however ，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet （美食的）. Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is
open，or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing “I’m huuungry!” any lon ger. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.
In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent café) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.
Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.
I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.
29. Many Chinese people
like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.
A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
30. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.
C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.
D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
31. We can infer from the article that ______.
A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza Hut
B. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends
C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D. many Britons don’t like big corporations
D
Darwin noted that some
human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.
The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.
“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another in dividual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”
Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward
communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa aren’t convinced.
The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because he’s cold and wants his mother to know.
“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If you’re willing
to call this crying, then
certainly other animals show
this emotional response.” he
says, “Some of us take
seriously that animals do have emotions.”
32. According to the first paragraph, what kind of
emotion does “exposing the
teeth” express?
A. Disappointment.
B. Excitem
C. Anger.
D. Happin
33. Which is one probable
reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?
A. They meet their
brother.
B. They have nothing to
eat.
C. They are being
breast-fed.
D. They are parted from
their mother.
34. Under what
circumstance will baby rats cry
just like humans’ sneeze?
A. Their blood flow is
decreased.
B. They feel cold and long
for affection.
C. Their blood flow is
increased.
D. Their mother brings
them back home.
35. Where is the passage
most likely taken from?
A. An animal journal.
B. A physiology book.
C. A health magazine.
D. A cultural newspaper. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） Apologizing can be very difficult. It takes maturity to put aside your pride and own up to your faults. 36. , it’s easy to make mistakes. 37. . For the other person to heal, address the expression and acknowledge your actions were out of line. Take a careful look at the part you played in the fault. While you could offer some context or explanation for how things went wrong, you shouldn’t let that negate(否认) your apology. If you aren’t coming across as sincere, you are just
not going to win in the apology department. 38. , and can focus on your tone and sincerity when it comes time to deliver them. In the long run, not being genuine just creates more distrust instead of repairing the damage.
Waiting too long to apologize can make a bad situation worse. Do it sooner rather than later. However, apologizing too quickly can also be problematic. Sometimes people need a minute to cool off, and if someone’s t rying to hound(催促) them to give them an apology, it’s not going to work. If time has passed, you can still attempt to right a wrong. 39. .
Saying “I’m sorry, but…” is one of the worst ways to say you’re sorry. When you use the word “but”, it negates or cancels everything that goes before it.
40. . Even if your intentions were good, you still have to own up(老实承认) to the harm you caused.
A. And when you do express an apology
B. It’s important to apologize face to face if possible
C. The old saying holds true — better late than never
D. Although it’s hard to generalize when it comes to apology timing
E. Practice your apology beforehand so that you’re comfortable with the words
F. Apologizing is about owning up to your mistakes, not making excuses for them
G. It is generally a signal that the really important part of the sentence is coming up 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with ￡400 in cash would be a source (来源) of temptation (诱惑). But the 41 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless T om Smith 42 more remarkable.

Yesterday was Monday. My friend Li Hua went to school without his homework finishing. He played online games all over the weekend. It was too late when he founded he had homework to do. To avoid punished, he told his teacher that a dog eats his homework. Obviously, it was
just an excuse he made to cover the fact which he hadn’t done his homework. The teacher certainly knew about that and made them stay after school. Sometimes we think we can avoid trouble by making excuse when we do something wrongly. However, we are really making problems worse instead of.
