Sam is not happy today. He doesn’t do well in his English test this time. Now he is sitting alone in his room.
Seeing this, his grandmother comes and talks to him to make him feel good. She sits down next to Sam and
gives him a pencil. Sam looks at his grandmother and doesn’t take it. “Things like this are only for students who
do well. I don’t do well!” Sam says.
Sam’s grandmother says, “It’s not a present for you. I want you to learn something from it. The pencil is just
like you. It gets a painful sharpening(痛苦的削磨), just like how you get the pain of not doing well in your test.”
“But it will help you be a good student. See, all the good things coming from the pencil are from itself. And
you too will find something good in yourself. Finally just as the pencil will make its mark (痕迹) on the paper,
you will also leave your mark on anything you choose to do. Just ‘sharpen’ yourself and do well next time!”

C
Two thousand years ago, the ancient Roman city of Caesarea had the largest harbor on the eastern coast of
the Mediterranean Sea. It was a wonder of engineering for its time. Then disaster struck. Written records say a
huge wave destroyed the harbor. What kind of wave caused it? Did it ally happen? No one had ever found the
evidence of the wave... until now.
Dr Goodman is part of a team of scientists studying samples at Caesarea to figure out what happened in the
past. A sample is taken by striking a tube into the seafloor. When the tube is pulled up, it contains sediments (沉淀
物) that have collected on the seafloor for hundreds or thousands of years. Looking down through the mixture of
sand, stones and other sediments is like looking back in time.
That’s what Dr. Goodman was doing when she found something astonishing. It was a layer (层) of shells —
all came from the time the harbor was destroyed. Dr. Goodman knew this shell layer had a story to tell.
Usually, shells are part of the mixture of sediments collected on the seafloor. A shell layer is as thin as your
finger. Yet Dr. Goodman was staring at a layer nearly 1 meter thick! Almost all the shells were broken.
The thick layer of broken shells meant a sudden, powerful event swept these shells into the area. The broken
shells were evidence that a huge wave really did destroy the harbor. Dr. Goodman could even tell the direction of
the wave from the way the shells lined up.
Here’s what Dr. Goodman thinks happened. First, an earthquake struck north of Caesarea along the coast.
Energy from the movement of rock during the earthquake caused a tsunami. This huge wave raced across the sand
and kicked up shells along the way and broke them into pieces. Finally, the wave crashed into the harbor and
destroyed it.
Dr. Goodman plans to gather evidence for other ancient tsunamis along the Mediterranean coast. This will
help her predict what areas are likely to be struck by future tsunamis. Then people can avoid building in these
areas.
8．What can be learned about the Caesarea harbor?
A．It was the largest in the world.
关注精品公众号【偷着学】，免费获取更多高中精品资源、最新网课、讲义等B．It was destroyed by a tsunami.
C．It is a mystery whether it existed.
D．It is studied by many engineers now.
9．How did Dr. Goodman obtain the sample at Caesarea?
A．By studying underwater. B．By analyzing the mixture.
C．By digging for ancient shells. D．By collecting sediments in a tube.
10．Which is the evidence to solve the historical mystery?
A．The direction of the wave. B．The diversity of sediments.
C．The way the shells lined up. D．The thick layer of broken shells.
11．Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．Shells Tell the Story B．Scientists Predict Disasters
C．Underwater Clues for Future D．Sea Exploration of Mediterranean
D
It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique
characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the “decline of class” and “classless society” in Britain.
And in modern Britain everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90
percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of
British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally
and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of
stratification.
One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his
class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as
the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded “educated” and “soft”. The accents placed at the
bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as “common” and
“ugly”. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some
regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards
accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice (偏见).
In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional
accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995
pop song “Common People” puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may “want to live likecommon people” they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.
12．What can be learned from the recent study of public opinion?
A．In modern Britain it is time to end class distinction.
B．In modern Britain most people belong to middle class.
C．In modern Britain it is easy to recognize a person’s class.
D．In modern Britain people regard themselves socially different.
13．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “stratification” in Paragraph 3?
A．variety B．division C．authority D．qualification
14．What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A．British attitudes towards accent date back to long time ago.
B．British attitudes towards accent are based on regional classes.
C．British attitudes towards accent are shared by the Americans.
D．British attitudes towards accent have changed in recent years.
15．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The middle class is expanding.
B．A person’s accent reflects his class.
C．Class is a key part of British society.
D．Each class has unique characteristics.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In China, people like to joke that there is no problem 36 a hot pot cannot solve. The fire from a
hotpot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart. Over a hotpot, people can talk and
share not just food, 37 friendship.
The most popular kind of hotpot is the Sichuan hot pot. What makes Sichuan hot pot different 38
other hot pots is the use of huajiao (花椒).This spice is hard to describe. Some people say it has no taste at all, and
others think it 39 (taste) bad. It has the strange effect of mouth-numbing, making red peppers taste even
40 (hot).
Other famous hot pots include Beijing hotpot, Northeast hotpot and Guangdong hot pot. The Beijing hotpot
has lighter taste, using just plain water as its broth (高汤). The pot is also different 41 (make) of brass
(黄铜) with chimney in the middle.
The northeast hotpot usually contains pork and cabbage while the Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish
broth, known for its wide range of 42 (ingredient), including seafood.
With a hot pot, you can put in whatever ingredient you like. The same pot can serve all the people 43
(sit) around the table. No one 44 (leave) out, and everyone gets to eat as much or as little as they want.
This shows the Chinese 45 (culture) values of openness.

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling
a little uncomfortable, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I overslept and as a result, was a bit late for
school. We got into the car hurriedly. The roads were already jammed with traffic. It appeared that everyone was
late as well.
My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery
road. I was lucky she was such a determined and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the
school, we witnessed an accident.
It all happened in an instant, as most accidents do. A car took a left turning without signaling and a school
bus crashed into it heavily. A few cars behind the school bus hit the bus as they could not stop in time and soon it
became a pile-up. The car was damaged badly while the school bus also had some damage. And the already
crowded road became more jammed with vehicles, which came to a mess. We wanted to help the victims. My
sister drove to a stop at the roadside not too far from the accident spot.
The scene that greeted us was terrible. I first rushed to the car. The driver, a lady, lay trapped behind thewheel, unable to move. Three schoolchildren were in the back seat, their faces white with fear. Two of them were
seriously hurt and bleeding from the head and hands. They were conscious although too weak and frightened to
realize what had happened. We called an ambulance and while waiting, we tried as much as possible to help the
victims. As a result of our joint efforts, the driver and the children were moved to safety and taken care of.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Then, I rushed to the bus filled with children’s cries.
