15、eum. org/mettours.BMy six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique(古董),” she said. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.”I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Websters Dictionary and read th

16、e definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, its an object existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valu

17、able. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.”“Im only 67,” I reminded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “Its very old,” I told Jenny. “I

18、try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.”There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now thats an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched(刮坏) and not in very good conditio

19、n. “Sometimes age does that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. Thats something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth.Our tour of ant

20、iques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didnt buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. Theyd been in one home and then another, handed down from one famil

21、y to another, traveling all over the place. Theyd lasted through years and years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored, or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “I dont have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened. “Could I ta

22、ke you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jennys antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.24. Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny in order to _.A. express her disappointment at being called “ant

23、ique” B. change Jennys shallow understanding of antiquesC. tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques D. list all the important characteristics of antiques25. Which of the following information did grandma express to Jenny?A. The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.B. There was usually a s

24、ad story behind each antique.C. The spots on the picture showed its age and value.D. She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up.B. Jenny was too young to know grandmas humor.C. Jenny had a strong desir

25、e for grandmas love.D. Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny.27. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Jennys Antique B. Grandmas AntiqueC. A Tour of Antiques D. A Story of AntiquesCIts really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing(挤) past some

26、one or passing through a crowd in a narrow place, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only d

27、oing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people, and here are some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK.People thank each other everywhere in Engl

28、and, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers

29、 thank their employees for doing their jobs, which is different from Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to m

30、e, my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me. It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and

31、 British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit mean.28. What is the authors feeling of English politeness?A. He thinks highly of it. B. He

32、 thinks little of it.C. He thinks it is unnecessary. D. He thinks it goes too far.29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. British men never treat a woman to dinner.B. British men think its unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.C. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employe

33、es for their job.D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.30. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _.A. like to fight with each other B. treat women more politely than English menC. are as generous as English men D. are unwilling to spend money

34、for women31. The author develops the text through the method of _.A. telling stories B. making comparisons C. giving reasons D. doing scientific researchDThe brain is a remarkable part. Its responsible for thoughts and feelings. Now a new study finds that going through tough times as a kid also can

35、have an impact. The adult brains of people who lived through lots of stress before the age of sixand then became depressed or anxious as teenagerswere different compared with adults who had an easier childhood. It seems that teens changed the shape of their brains by internalizing (使内在化) the stresse

36、s experienced years earlier.Researchers already knew that the shape and size of a childs brain can change in response to lots of stress. They also knew that adults were more likely to be depressed if, as kids, theyd lived in poverty. Some studies showed that these depressed adults had unusual change

37、s in their brain shape. But no one had tested if the early stress and later brain changes were linked.Scientists in England studied almost 500 boys from birth until the ages of 18 to 21.Sarah Jensen is one of the new studys authors. Almost all of the boys her team studied experienced some hard times

38、 as kids. And, she concludes, “This is not necessarily harmful.” To some extent, thats just life. What can be dangerous, she says, is when children experience too many forms of difficulties. Her teams new data suggest that the tougher the childhood, the stronger the impact on the brain might be.What

39、s happening in the world around us relates to how we feel.Her team linked more childhood stress to more depression.Still, she notes, its possible that if you find support for anxiety or depression, you might be able to prevent the changes seen here.“If you can change the environment, you can change

40、the course of things.” Sarah says. So, she recommends, if teens develop anxiety or depression, its good to ask for psychological doctors to give advice.32When people had a hard childhood,_Athey will have a brave attitude to life Btheir way of thinking may be strangeCthey will be good at dealing with

41、 stress Dthe shape of their brain may be changed33What is the breakthrough of the new research?AThe size of the brain can change. BThe brain can be influenced by stress.CPoverty can affect the brains shape in future. DChanges in brain are connected with earlier hardship.34Its a problem when children

42、 _Ahad a lonely childhood Bled a peaceful childhoodCgot different kinds of hardship Dexperienced limited hard times35For teenagers with anxiety, Sarah suggests _.Athey adapt to their life Bthey seek professional helpCthey talk to friends or relatives Dthey become confident and optimistic 七选五 People

43、use colors to express their feelings and describe their world. 36 Lets see if we can figure out where they originated.Black sheep of the familyThe phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is in disgrace (失宠). It probably comes from the days when, in a group of sheep, the black ones were

44、worth less than the white ones at market because their wool could not be dyed (染色) into different colors. 37 Green with envyWhen your friend shows up with the hottest new video game in town, you might feel this way. 38 It was the Greeks who connected it with sickness. They thought that when a person

45、 was ill or envious, his or her body produced too much bile (胆汁), giving his or her skin a greenish color.True blueIs your best friend “true blue”? No, this doesnt refer to a dye job on his hair. 39 Back when all color dyes came from natural sources, such as berries and leaves, blue was the most dif

46、ficult color to produce and often faded quickly. Finally, during the Middle Ages, an English town became famous for a blue dye that produced a nice, rich blue that didnt fade after just a few washings. This reliable color became known as “true blue”.Royal purplePurple is a fairly popular color. But

47、throughout history, it was reserved for royalty and important members of the church. Purple was once the most expensive dye in the world. 40 The resulting purple-colored cloth was costly, and only the richest people could afford to buy it.A. It means that he is honest, faithful, and reliable.B. This

48、 made the black sheep an unwelcome member.C. A person who was envious would make him look green.D. Almost everyone at some time or another has “the blues”.E. Many color-related phrases are a common part of our speech.F. Writers such as Shakespeare used the color green to represent envy.G. The proces

49、s of collecting the dye and processing it was long and complex.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）Children find meanings in their old family tales.When Stephen Guyers three children were growing up，he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 41 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he va
