We thought we would find a motel (汽車旅館) on the way and had not made a booking. As it was getting late, we started looking for a motel, only to find that all were booked.Finally, around 9p.m. we stopped at a gas station to fill up on gas. My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel. He tried for 15 minutes. When he was unsuccessful, the woman, Linda, said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night at her home, My husband was stunned at her offer. She called her son to direct us, since she had to hold fort at the gas station till midnight.When we reached their home, her husband greeted us. He took out two sleeping bags for the children. He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wile. When she came back, we asked if we could slip away in the morning so as not to disturb them. They said we were now guests and we would have to have breakfast with them.We woke up to table set for breakfast. Theyd made a mountain of pancakes and bacon. We ate breakfast, and when we were leaving, my husband asked if he could offer some payment. They insisted we were their guests. We left moved by their spirit of hospitality(好客). We were amazed that they would take in a family of total strangers from a different country. We kept in touch for many years. Over the years, we lost touch, but have never forgotten their kindness.24.What made the author upset at first? A.They got lost in Canada. B.They ran out of gas.C.They had nowhere to stay.

Yelp is paying $134 million for the pany$75 million in cash and the rest in stock. Eat24 works with 20,000 restaurants in more than 1,500 cities all over the U.S.On Yelps reviews site, you can find new restaurants to suit your tastes, and now that the pany is acquiring Eat24, the idea is that it will also let you take the next step: order food to your door.“If youre looking at a restaurant, you want to be able to book that restaurant,” Yelp cofounder and CEO Jeremy said in a Tuesday interview. “If we can integrate(融入) that into the Yelp experience, it makes the site much better.”The move is just one way that some of Internets most recognizable names are branching into online food delivery to improve their existing business. Last August, payments pany Square bought Caviar, a highend quick food delivery service. And that same month, Uber tested a fast food delivery service called UberFRESH, which aimed to deliver meals from local restaurants to customers in less than 10 minutes.In each case, food delivery can provide an added source of ine, and it can also help these panies push the use of their existing services. The market for food delivery is hardly small, and mobile technologies can speed up the process, potentially expanding the business even further.28. How does Yelp pay for the pany Eat24?A. Totally by cheque. B. Totally in cash. C. Partly in stock. D. Only in credit.29. What can customers NOT do on the new Yelps website?A. Finding the restaurants they like. B. Booking a restaurant they like.C. Ordering food to their door. D. Enjoying much cheaper food.30. What does the underlined word “acquire” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Bargain. B. Claim. C. Request. D. Purchase.31. From the passage, we can infer that many panies _A. begin to set up their own food branches B. make little money from their existing businessC. begin to attach importance to food delivery makingD. give up the present business and turn to food makingDPeople have different ways of dealing with a mon cold. Some take over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (療法) like herbal tea or chicken soup.Yet here is the tough truth about the mon cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, Professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believe that its medicine-rather than time-that deserves the credit(贊譽), USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can tackle much more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so mon as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why.To understand it, you first need t know how antiviral( 抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw( 拼圖 ) puzzle, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until xx. All three of them contribute to the mon cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmcnberg at University of Wisconsin- Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed(高清的) 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses. With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for mon cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont really work.32. The author thinks traditional home remedies the mon cold. A. actually have no effect on B. are slightly helpful in fightingC. are effective against D. still need to be improved to work on 33. We can learn from the article that todays antiviral drugs work mainly by .A. absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same timeB. changing the surface structures of known cold virusesC. preventing colds from developing into serious diseasesD. breaking up cold viruses directly34. We can infer from the article that . A. scientists have already found a cure for the mon cold B. the surface of cold viruses look quite similarC. scientists were unaware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently D. understanding the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure 35. What does the article mainly talk about? A. How scientists found a previously unknown cold virus. B. How drug trials helped scientists find cures for mon cold. C. Why current cold remedies are useless.D. Why the new 3-D model of the cold virus is significant.第二節(jié)（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，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Why we still need to read DickensWalk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens works still sell well today. 36 As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 37 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickenss writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 38 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with plete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences. 39 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickenss novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, thats the explanation I had sought for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. 40 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.A. Then a hand shot up.B. I know that wasnt really the reason.C. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.D. That question was never more troubling.E. Thats why we still need to read him today.F. I already know who it is Ill meet in those novels.G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.第三部分 英語知識運用第一節(jié) 完型填空（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四個選項（A、B、C和D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。Have you ever heard of an old saying?
