Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on that evening because all the magpies have left to form the bridge in the heavens with their wings.The legend has been handed down for more than 2 millennia. The story has been recorded as far back as the Jin Dynasty (256420 AD). Poets composed hundreds of poems on the love story and many types of Chinese opera tell the story.The Chinese people believe that the star Vega (織女星), east of the Milky Way, is Zhin and, at the constellation of Aquila, on the western side of the Milky Way, Niulang waits for his wife.Compared with love stories in Western legends, the story of Niulang and Zhin seems not as intense (激烈的) or passionate. Love doesnt kill or break up the barrier between them. They just wait patiently on the riverbank, believing that their love can withstand their time apart.It is faith and emotional connection instead of physical attraction and desire that are emphasized in the story as well as in many other Chinese folk tales about love.Unlike St. Valentines Day in Western countries, there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers or kisses. Instead, the girls in China prepare fruits, melons and incense (香) as offerings to Zhin， hoping to get high skills in needlecraft, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands.In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhin and Niulang are talking about.語篇解讀：七夕坐看牽牛織女星是民間的習俗。相傳，每年的這個夜晚是織女與牛郎在鵲橋相會的日子，所以七月初七也被稱為中國的“情人節(jié)”。4Which of the following statements is NOT true?ANiulang and Zhin lived in the Jin Dynasty.BVega is on the east of the Milky Way.CThe constellation of Aquila is on the western side of the Milky Way.DAncient artists created many works to tell this love story of Niulang and Zhin.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知，關于牛郎和織女的故事記載最遠可以追溯到晉代，但并非是牛郎和織女生活在晉代。5The sixth paragraph implies that _.AWestern people love more patiently than ChineseBNiulang and Zhin believed that their love could last foreverCNiulang and Zhin had a cool head for their loveDthere was no barrier between Niulang and Zhin解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段內(nèi)容可知，牛郎和織女在感情上并不狂熱，他們在困難面前保持著冷靜的頭腦，在銀河兩岸耐心地等待著，相信他們的愛情能經(jīng)得住分離，故選C項。6What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph probably mean?AStick to.BGive up.COperateDStand.解析：選D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第六段內(nèi)容可知，畫線詞所在句指牛郎和織女相信他們的愛情能經(jīng)受得住(withstand)他們之間的分別。stand“容忍，忍受”，與畫線詞意思相近。7The last but one paragraph mainly tells us that _.ASt. Valentines Day in Western countries is very romanticBtraditional celebration of the Chinese Valentines Day shows best wishes of Chinese girlsCWestern girls are more openmindedDChinese girls wish to find ideal husbands解析：選B段落大意題。從倒數(shù)第二段的敘述來看，該段描述的是中國的女孩們對美好生活和美好未來的向往。CWhat are the qualities of a good journalist? Heres what I have found.First, a good journalist should be alert (警覺的). If youre not, how can you find news? You should always stay alert. Only in this way can you find valuable news. Dont think you can just sit in the office and wait for phone calls about information. It doesnt work.Second, you should have an inquiring mind.For example, when something happens, you should think why it happens, what consequences (后果) it will lead to, and so on. Dont just report what you see. Dig deeper to find more information.Third, a good journalist should be quick. It means you should report quickly what you have discovered during your missions. If you report the news too tardily,_then it is not news, right?Fourth, as a good journalist, you should be accurate. I remember that a singer was said to be in a relationship which he was not in a few years ago. The journalist reported it just because of a rumor. Luckily for the singer, he is a very lovable person, and the large audience of that newspaper did not believe what the report said. That happened in his case, but there are many other people who can have their entire careers ruined because of some bad rumors. So never report something just based on a rumor.Also, to be a good journalist, you need to be brave and willing to sacrifice. I have to tell you that the life of a journalist is not easy. Lets say your boss tells you that from the next week, you will go to a war area and stay there to send back valuable information for two months. Would you quit and look for another job? I hope not. This is not what we want from our journalists.8According to Paragraph 2, a good journalist should _.Await for phone calls about informationBgo out and look around on the street every dayCget valuable news from his/her colleaguesDknow it once something worth reporting happens解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“First, a good journalist should be alert.”可知這一段是講好的記者應該具有警覺性，即應該第一時間知道發(fā)生了什么。9What does the underlined word “tardily” in Paragraph 4 mean?AFast.BLate.CLazilyDBoringly.解析：選B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段的“Third, a good journalist should be quick.”可知這里是指如果報道“晚”了，那就不叫新聞了。10The singers story is mentioned to show that a good journalist should _.Abe able to find news everywhereBbe able to find exciting newsCreport news to entertain the publicDmake sure the report is correct解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的“I remember that a singer was said to be in a relationship which he was not in a few years ago. The journalist reported it just because of a rumor.”可知提到這位歌手的事是想表明記者應該確保所報道的事情是真實的。11What is the text mainly about?AHow to report news quickly.BHow journalists usually work.CWhat makes a good journalist.DWhat makes a good news story.解析：選C主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容，可知文章是圍繞一位好的記者應該具備哪些素質展開的，故選C項。DDoes Happiness Have a Scent?When someone is happy, can you smell it?You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug.But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell.For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them.All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain_from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions.Only women were selected to smell the samples, obviously because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling.“When a person is happy, his sweat brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，” said study coauthor Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others.The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too.This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.Researchers have yet to isolate (分離) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be.Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented.Scent therapies (香味療法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.語篇解讀：最新的一項研究表明，愉快的心情是有氣味的，并且這種氣味能夠被人們所感知。12What is the main finding of the new research?AMen produce more sweats.BWomen are more sensitive to emotional signaling.CPleasant feelings can be smelt out.DNegative emotions have a smell.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句“Surprising new research suggests that happiness does have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell.”可知，新的研究表明，快樂是有氣味的，并能夠被人們聞到。故選C項。13The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”ApracticeBavoidCtryDenjoy解析：選B詞義猜測題。由第三段第二句“All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers .”可知，所有參加實驗的人員必須是健康的。由此可推斷，研究期間，他們不能喝酒和吃味道大的食物，以免影響研究結果。故選B項。14. What is a potential application of the new research?APerfumes could help people get closer to each other.BScent therapies could be produced to cure physical diseases.CSome smells could help us fight against psychological problems.DSome smells could be created to improve our appearance.解析：選C推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第二段講述了此項研究的實際用途。由該段最后兩句“Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented.Scent therapies (香味療法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.”可知，發(fā)明快樂香水或香味療法都能幫助人們對抗沮喪或焦慮等問題，即psychological problems (心理問題)。故選C項。B項physical diseases (身體疾病)與原文不符，故排除。15Which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with?ASocial surroundings can influence our emotions.BWomen can definitely smell ones happiness because of their better sense.CPositive feelings have already been proved to have a smell before.DResearchers have developed happiness perfumes and scent therapies.解析：選A推理判斷題。由最后一段中的“how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us”可知，此項研究帶給我們的最大驚喜在于加深了我們對社會環(huán)境如何影響我們個人情緒的理解。故選A項。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。The Lost Rules of EtiquetteEtiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. _16_ Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.Opening the DoorIn days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. _17_ This has now almost entirely disappeared and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. It seems to be confusing manners with chauvinism (大男子主義)Writing ThankYou NotesIn days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, he would write a thankyou note as soon as possible. _18_ Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thankyou note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thankyou note would be laughed at._19_We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. _20_ After all, a party normally has a guest of honor this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.AArriving on TimeBLeaving at the Right TimeCPeople leave with various excuses.DIt enabled people to get on well with each other.EThis rule was true even if the giver was a relative.FIt could be the lady he was driving, or a stranger.GWeve thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.答案：1620DFEBC.完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。One of Fatahs close friends had several farms.
