  I 40 Shanghai and to other Chinese cities many times since then and have watched the fast changes on the roads. There are far fewer bicycles now but 41 cars. The roads are crowded, the government has been forced to limit the number of days some cars can 42 and the traffic jams are almost constant (经常的). So are the accidents. On a recent visit I saw four or five 43 within a two-week period.

  To get a driver’s license in Canada, you must drive, with an examiner, on real roads and in real traffic. However, in China you learn on a closed course, 44 real traffic, get a license and only then are able to drive under real roads.

  六、阅读理解 (每小题2分,共30分)

  A

  Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦).” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

  A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

  Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

  Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

  Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

  What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:

  1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

  2. Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

  3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.

  51. How many people were hungry in the world in 2010 according to the UN World Food Program?

  A. 200 million. B. Six million.

  C. 925 million. D. 625 million.

  52. What does the writer want to show us through Li Hong’s story?

  A. Many Chinese restaurants waste a large amount of food.

  B. Many Chinese people are kind-hearted and ready to help the weak.

  C. Chinese people feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food.

  D. Many Chinese people don’t agree with the behavior of wasting food.

  53. The underlined word “leftover” means in Chinese.

  A. 过期的 B. 剩余的 C. 腐烂的 D.难吃的

  54. According to the passage, we shouldn’t waste food because .

  A. food comes from very hard work

  B. six million children die of hunger every day

  C. there is enough food to feed all the people

  D. Chinese are hospitable and generous

  55. Which of the following is a good way to save food?

  A. Ordering more than you need at a restaurant.

  D. Not eating the food you don’t like even if it’s healthy.

  B

  The NBA playoffs(季后赛) began on April 28, and the next two months will be filled with games decided in the final minutes. The playoffs are also a way to show off the world’s best basketball players.

  There’s a saying from Spiderman: “With great power comes great responsibility(责任).” This is true no matter whether you are a class monitor or a president. A recent survey in the USA asked kids what they would do to make life better for other kids if they were president. “Providing shelter” topped the list.

  May 19, 1613: Xu Xiake, a famous traveler during the Ming Dynasty, started his trip around China, which lasted for more than 30 years. In 2011, China announced its first National Tourism Day, held on May 19 every year in memory of this ancient explorer.

  Do you have female friends that refer to as “guimi”? If you are a girl and the answer is yes, you are a lucky dog. “Guimi” is only used among girls. It refers to your most honest friends. In English, the word to use is “BFF”- which stands for best friend forever. But if you want to say a guy is your close friend or “nanguimi”, you should use “bromeo”, which is made up of “bro” and “Romeo”.

  CHINA is planning to build a national earthquake monitoring and warning system in five years. While the system would never be able to forecast an earthquake, it could detect(探测) quakes and notify people within seconds before seismic(地震引起的) waves actually hit them, and a trial program including nearly 100 monitoring stations is currently being carried out in southeast China’s Fujian Province and has proven successful.

  56. The above five passages may be .

  A. from posters B. from newspapers

  C. from ads D. from novels

  57. From the passage we know May 19 is in China.

  A. the beginning of the NBA playoffs

  B. in memory of Spiderman

  C. Earthquake Day D. National Tourism Day

  58. “Guimi” refers to .

  A. any female friends B. bromeo

  C. your most honest friends    

  D. those friends who can only share happiness

  59. China’s earthquake monitoring and warning system could .

  A. forecast an earthquake

  B. be used in Zhejiang Province

  C. not detect quakes

  D. notify people within seconds

  60. Which of the following is wrong according to the passage?

  A. China will build earthquake warning system in five years.

  B. In English, the word “BFF” stands for best friend forever.

  C. The playoffs can show off the world’s best football players.

  D. “Providing shelter” topped the list in American kids’ survey.

  Hi Brad,

  It’s good to hear from you again. I find that I’m not good at writing compositions. It’s hard for me to prepare the form of a composition and organize sentences. ①Could you tell me how to deal with this problem? I would really appreciate if you offer me some good methods.

  Best wishes,

  Cindy

  Hi Cindy,

  A composition is really a story and any story is told to an audience. There is a form for this and it is in three parts. First, tell them(the audience) what you are going to tell them. Then tell them, and finally tell them what you told them. Parts one and three are short and most of the information is in part two. It works like this.

  Let’s say you are asked to write a 200-word composition about your visit to the Great Wall. You would begin with an opening sentence or two saying something like “The Great Wall of China is a national ②landmark that is famous around the world. I visited it last summer and I want to tell you about it.” That uses about 25 words to tell them what you are going to tell them.

  The second part would be about 150 words and would contain information about the Great Wall such as how long it is, when it was built, who built it and why, the fact that it is one of the seven wonders of the world and you would talk about how you felt and what you thought when you visited this national treasure. This is telling them.

  Finally, you would use about another 25 words to say something like “That was my first visit to the Great Wall and it was a very emotional experience to actually touch something so old and famous. ③每个中国人至少参观长城一次.I plan to go back whenever I can.” Here, you are telling them what you told them in the story and wrapping it all up into a neat package. This formula(惯例)works for both compositions and speeches and I think you will find it helps to organize your thoughts. I hope it’s helpful.

  Best wishes,

  Brad Franklin

  七、短文填空(共12个空,做对一个得1分,共10分)

  Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. We can share (66)s with our friends and turn to them for help when we are in trouble. In a word, it is nice to have a friend to (67)t , laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel (68)l if we never had a friend.

  To make (69)f , you must be friendly. A cheerful person smiles. A smile always makes the others like you. Smile at someone and you are sure to get a smile (70)b from him.

  Try to remember names. It (71)m your new friends feel happy when you call them by their names, (72)b you don’t forget them.

  No two people are just the same. If you don’t agree with other people, you should still be friendly. Do not argue, but (73)d . You always lose friends if you argue too much. And you should think more of others than (74)o yourself. It’s good for teenagers to have one or a group of good friends. This is very (75)i in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss things which are too difficult to say to their family members.

  There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live (76)l than people who don’t have. Why? It could be that they (77)a happier. Being happy helps you stay well and it could be good just knowing that someone cares about you.
