It

12、 is said that the ancient library was burned three times over the centuries. A likeness of the ancient library was built in Alexandria and was opened on October 16，2002.Celsus LibraryCelsus Library was built in what had been a monument tomb of the governor of the Province of Asia, Celsus Polemaeanus

13、 in Ephesus, Turkey. It used to be the third richest of ancient times in the world, which had more than 12，000 works of art, but it was destroyed in wars, leaving some ruins. Even so, it is now still so worldfamous for its beautiful structure that many visitors come to see it. There is a statue of A

14、thena at its entrance as she is the Goddess of Wisdom. It remains delicate and appealing.Bodleian LibraryBodleian Library is attached to Oxford University and mainly used as a research library.

18、C. It is one of the famous ancient libraries.D. It is wellknown for its beautiful structure.BThe world can be a scary place when youre young. It can be even scarier when youre a young little blue penguin(企鹅), the worlds smallest penguin.Luckily, there are some humans willing to help, who stepped in

19、to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand. Spotted on Nov. 29 at Moncks Bay, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he hiked home to get his camera.

20、 When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, reading “Hi, Im waiting for my mum to come back. DOC (New Zealands Department of Conservation) knows Im here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks, Billy the baby blue penguin.”Billy, perhaps able to r

21、ead somehow, or just pleased by all the attention, didnt wander far from the sign, and some people had set up “a little penguin protection team” to keep the penguin safe, Mein Smith said.Little blue penguins are primarily found in New Zealand and the southern coast of Australia. The DOC arrived late

22、r that afternoon to pick up Billy. “Its unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day. Normally they are at sea or in burrows(洞穴) during the day，” Anita Spencer, a DOC official said. “The bird is a female penguin, is around 2 months old and is underweight for its age.

23、It weighs a mere 550 grammes, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grammes at this age.

Protecting the Little PenguinCEtymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms. Yet etymologists actually have a uniqu

27、ely interesting job. They are in many ways just like archaeologists(考古学家) digging up the physical history of people and events. The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind.The English language, in particular, is a great

28、field to explore history through words. As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words. This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily. For example, “English” words such as kindergarten(from German), croissant(from French)，and cheetah(from Hindi) have become part of

29、 the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings. So Englishlanguage etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries(谜). No, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like t

30、he great detective Sherlock Holmes. What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words.One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK. Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact be

31、ginning is a puzzle even to this day. Even its spelling is not entirely consistentunless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word.Etymologists have been able to narrow OKs origin down to a likely, although not certain, source. It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Burens ru

32、n for president in 1840. His nickname was Old Kinderhook. What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known. It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source. Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching

33、for the initial source. However, it is clear that OKs popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked.()28. The author mentions the words like “croissant” in Paragraph 2 to indicate _A. words have changed a lot in the two languagesB. what

34、 Englishlanguage etymologists are exploring now C. English has absorbed many words from other foreign languages D. the English vocabulary is difficult to the nonEnglishspeaking people()29. What does the underlined word “pursued” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Looked upon. B. Dug up.C. Put in. D. Set down.()

35、30. We can learn from the passage that etymologists _A. discover the possible origin of wordsB. help detectives to solve mysterious murdersC. write interesting stories for some newspapersD. explore the English language as well as the recent events()31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To p

36、resent the history of English words.B. To explain the procedure of an etymologists job.C. To introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots.D. To teach readers how to distinguish English and nonEnglish words.DWeve all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, A

37、pple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 amand, as we know, “The early bird catches the worm.”But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean its a trait most of them share? And if the idea of having exercised, plan

38、ned your day, eaten breakfast, visualised and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze until next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life?For about half of us, this isnt really an issue. Its estimated that some 50% of the population isnt really morning o

39、r eveningoriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward brighteyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.Numerous studies have f

40、ound that morning people are more selfdirected and agreeable. And compared to night owls, theyre less likely to be depressed, drink or smoke.Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive ability, even whe

41、n they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Nighttime people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning typesand a little bit wealthier.Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material? Dont set your alarm for 5 am j

42、ust yet. As it turns out, overhauling(大修) your sleep times may not have much effect.“If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader，” says Oxford University biologist Katharina W

43、ulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin(褪黑激素). “Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological

44、consequences，” Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose(葡萄糖)which can cause weight gain.()32. What does the author do in the first three paragraphs?A. raising the problemanalysing the problemsolving the problemB. leading in the topicchallenging a viewpointdiscussing about the

45、topicC. presenting authors viewpointproviding supporting proofsmaking a conclusionD. introducing a viewpointraising the questionpresenting authors viewpoint()33. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraphs?A. Morning types are more conservative but more optimistic.B. To beat nighttime people, a

46、sk them to do maths calculation in the morning.C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.()34. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support?A. Dont fall asleep in front of the TV. B. Avoid being

47、regularly late for work.C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am. D. Better not overhaul your sleep times.()35. Why does the author write this article?A. To explain why some people are more successful.B. To compare the differences between early risers and night owls.C. To advise people to get up neither

48、too early nor too late.D. To argue against the view that the early bird catches the worm.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The word “boycott” comes to English through Irish, which can be used as both a verb and a noun.

85、rb, boycott means to refuse to do something as a form of protest(抗议)”可知，“boycott”既能用作名词，也能用作动词。作动词时，“boycott”意思是以抗议的形式拒绝做某事。所以本题要说明它作名词时的意思，故E选项“作为名词，boycott多少有些不一样的意思”切题。故选E项。37. B解析：由空后的“In the mid1800s, a young man, Charles Boycott, worked as a land agent for the owner of a large country farm in

86、Ireland”可知，在18世纪中期，一个叫做查尔斯博伊科特的年轻人在爱尔兰做大庄园主的地产经纪人。所以本题要总说这个单词源于一个人的名字，然后再作具体说明。故B选项“这个单词源于一个人的名字”切题。故选B项。38. G解析：由空后的“Later, the farmers demanded lower rents.”可知，佃农们要求降低租金。所以本题要说明博伊科特的工作职责以此承接下文。故G选项“博伊科特的职责是从在庄园种植庄稼的佃农那儿收取租金”切题。故选G项。39. C解析：由空前的“He suggested to the farmers that they refuse to do bu

87、siness with Boycott.”以及空后的“ Since Boycotts workers and servants refused to carry out his orders, the crops in his fields went bad.”可知，达维特建议佃农拒绝和博伊科特做生意，博伊科特的工人和仆人拒绝执行他的命令，导致博伊科特地里的庄稼都坏了。所以本题要起到承上启下的作用。故C选项“结果证实这种形式的抗议非常奏效”切题。故选C项。40. A解析：由空前的“At the end of 1880，some British newspapers began using Bo

88、ycotts name when reporting on a protest of unfair methods or actions.”以及空后的“By the late 1880s, The New York Times was reporting on boycotts.”可知，1880年底，一些英国的报纸开始用博伊科特的名字来报告与不公平的方法或者行动有关的抗议活动。到19世纪80年代末，纽约时报一直在报道联合抵抗的新闻。所以从1880年到19世纪80年代末这种用法很快就传开了，也就是本题所要说明的内容。故A选项“这种用法很快就传开了”切题。故选A项。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满

90、After some days Mahesh went to the court.”可知，除此之外，国王还答应再给他一个官职。44. A解析：联系“went to the court”和“did not allow him”可知，显然，那个护卫不让麦海士进去。45. D解析：下文多处“reward”有提示，那个护卫认为麦海士会得到更多的奖赏。46. C解析：从空后的“half the rewards he would get from the emperor”可以得出答案。pay sb“付款给某人；付酬劳动给某人”。47. D解析：麦海士进去之后，国王一眼就认出了麦海士是救过自己的人。48.

91、A解析：联系“I expect 50 lashes from you”可知，本来麦海士应该得到奖赏，但是他却要求挨50鞭子，这让朝臣们非常吃惊。shocked“吃惊的”。49. A解析：联系前文的情景，一个人主动要求挨鞭子，在任何人看来他都是疯了。50. C解析：联系前文人们感到吃惊可知，国王问他为什么要这么做。reason“理由；原因”。51. A解析：下文“The guard appeared in front of the king.”有提示，挨了25 鞭子之后，麦海士就请国王派人把门口那个护卫叫进来。52. C解析：由本空后的“at the thought that he was ca

92、lled to be rewarded”推断，那个护卫兴冲冲地进来了，他认为自己肯定能分得一半的奖赏。53. B解析：联系前文“He was _52_ at the thought that he was called to be rewarded.”可知，显然事实出乎他的意料。to ones surprise“出乎某人的意料”。54. D解析：联系“I wanted to teach him”可知，下句就是麦海士给这个贪婪的护卫的一个教训。teach sb a lesson“给某人一个教训”。55. D解析：根据本空后的内容可知，国王命令那个护卫挨25 鞭子，另加五年的禁闭。第二节语法填空(
