26、nese saying has it: “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” But tea is so much more than just a hot drink.Take tea bag art for example, which has become increasingly fashionable. Japanese artist Mari Omori takes used tea bags and fashions

27、 them into bizarre (奇异的) but amazing sculptures.Omori says her success is down to her Asian heritage and love of a good cup of tea. A lot of the used tea bags in her work come from cups of tea she has drunk. The etiquette (礼仪) that often accompanies (伴随) sharing tea with guests in Asian cultures inf

28、luences her work.While tea bag artists may be impressing wealthy collectors, Chinese people have perfected the simpler, but much broader ranging, art of enjoying tea. The association of artistry (艺术性) and drinking tea can be best seen in the Chinese tea ceremony, in which there is an obvious intrica

29、cy (复杂) and creativity in preparing, serving and tasting the tea. But the fact is you dont need a tea ceremony to appreciate tea. The familiar taste of Chinese green tea is warm and welcoming when drunk from a taxi drivers tea flask, from a thermos in a guesthouse in a small town on a cold night or

30、from your favorite cup in your apartment after a long day out. Tea is something of a liquid equalizer. Everybody drinks it locals, newcomers, migrant workers, office workers and top authorities. People drink tea with meals and they drink it on its own. They drink it by themselves and they drink as a

31、n excuse to socialize (社交). Although tea is a commonality, it also highlights how dissimilar they can be. Tea in China is like wine in France every region, with its different climate and different soil, produces a different type of tea. When many people are all drinking the same pot of tea, there ar

32、e sometimes differing opinions on how long to let it steep (泡茶). Some like it strong enough to knock your socks off, others prefer it lighter.One thing is certain nothing is more typically Chinese than a cup of tea, whatever type it is and however strong it may be.51. What is the point of the articl

33、e?A. To promote Chinas tea bag art.B. To introduce the Chinese art of enjoying tea.C. To explain how tea influences culture in China.D. To introduce the etiquette around sharing tea with guests.52. What does Japanese artist Omori owe her success to?A. Her fashion sense. B. Her social circle.C. Her C

34、hinese heritage. D. Her fascination with tea.53. Which is TRUE according to the article?A. To appreciate tea, you have to observe a tea ceremony.B. Green tea is more common in China than other kinds of tea. C. Popular as tea is in China, tea varies from area to area.D. People from different social c

35、lasses drink tea in different ways.54. By saying “Tea is something of a liquid equalizer”, the writer means that _.A. tea is beneficial in many different ways B. people from different regions enjoy similar types of teaC. people who love tea have a lot in commonD. no matter what their social status i

36、s, all kinds of people enjoy tea B New year is here, but are you prepared for the coming 12 months? Its a good idea to think about what you want to achieve in 2011. Why not make a list of 30 books you would like to read? And perhaps you could lose some weight. How about trying to drop 10 kilograms b

37、efore the new semester begins? But, baby steps, guys. Baby steps. Most of us default on our new years resolutions(决心), and its hardly surprising. We aim too high and expect immediate results. Experts say its time to reexamine our approach. “The way we go about resolutions doesnt really work,” says M

38、ike Robbins, a US life coach and author. “People have these great intentions but they dont have any support to make them happen.” Robbins suggests making clear, goal-oriented resolutions. Your goals need to be more specific than, “work harder next semester,” he says. “What you should be doing is mak

39、ing specific actionable promises to yourself that you can actually keep,” says Trisha Calvo, executive editor of Shape magazine. Be sure to write down your resolutions. Tape them to the wall. Share them with someone, and check with every few months to stay on track. Below are some examples of realis

40、tic resolutions. Weight loss Dropping double-digit (两位数的) kilograms in two months can be unrealistic. Instead, decide to walk an hour seven days a week, or trade an afternoon cake for an apple or banana, Calvo says. See the changes as a new lifestyle. Remember, each kilogram of weight loss should be

41、 celebrated. “Congratulate yourself with small rewards a new book, a relaxing day, great running shoes,” she says. When it comes to eating healthily, eating more slowly, and not eating in front of the TV are obvious resolutions. “When you sit down and focus on your meal, you get more than the substa

42、nce (营养),” Calvo says. Keeping a journal This year, make it a new years resolutions to spend a little bit of each day writing down the highs and lows. Perhaps that sounds difficult, but think that in the future you will be able to look back on your journal and have a vivid sense of what your life wa

43、s like in the crucial adolescent (青春期的) years.55.The article is mainly about _.A. how to keep track of new years resolutionsB. how to make practical resolutionsC. the reasons why it is difficult to keep resolutionsD. unrealistic ways to go about resolutions56.The underlined word “default” means _.A.

44、 keep changing B. work hard C. fail to realize D. dont like making57.According to Trisha Calvo, _.A. people dont intend to keep their new years resolutions B. friends and family can be asked to help monitor work toward resolutionsC. resolutions shouldnt be too general and should be easy to put into

45、practiceD. it is necessary for those who want to keep their resolutions to think in terms of specific dates58.Which of the following is suggested in the article?A. Losing weight by double digits before the beginning of the New semester.B. Keeping a journal on progress toward realizing resolutions.C.

46、 Changing lifestyle rather than making unrealistic plans. D. Congratulating oneself when a resolution has been achieved. CThe days of the hunter are almost over in India .This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill ,and partly because some steps have been taken ,mainly by bannin

47、g tiger-shooting ,to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter .I disagree with this view .Surely out earliest forefathers ,who at first possessed no weapons ,spent their time digging for roots ,and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating a

48、nimals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals .Of course ,there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing ,and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and

49、 the beauties of the wild countryside .There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design ;these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers ,even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat .I can respect reasons like the

50、se ,but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives(动机).One of them wrote.“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animals own terr

51、itory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day .This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive ,by other animals ,Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing not if you respect the

52、 thing you kill ,not if you kill to enrich your memories ,not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand such beliefs ,and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail .But this is very different from many tigershoots I have seen ,in

53、 which modern weapons were used .The socalled hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants .Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.59.Theere is no more hunting in India now partly because_.A. hunters want to protect animalsB. there are few animals left t

54、o huntC. it is dangerous to hunt thereD. hunting is already out of date60.The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly_.A. to gain power and influenceB. to improve their healthC. to make the countryside safeD. to earn peoples admiration61.What do we learn about the big-game hunters?A. They hunt for

55、foodB. They hunt for moneyC. They hunt old animalsD. They mistreat animals62.What is the authors view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?A. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigersB. Modern hunters should put their safety firstC. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-faceD. Moder

56、n hunters should use more advanced weapons DWe think we know pandas. They are the endangered animals that live in the forests of China. They spend their days chewing bamboo. They dont reproduce(繁殖) very often. But did you know that pandas quite like meat? Did you know they can climb trees and swim?

57、Pandas are actually a lot more mysterious than people think, researchers say. Lets find out some more about them. Pandas eat meat While ninety-nine percent of the pandas diet is bamboo, it also eats rice, carrots, apples and sweet potatoes. Pandas sometimes eat rodents (啮齿动物), deer, insects, honey,

58、eggs and fish. In 2009, scientists studied the panda genome (基因组). They found a gene that means pandas probably cant taste flesh. But they also found genes for digesting (消化) meat. This may explain why they dont seek meat out that often. However, when the opportunity presents itself, pandas will hap

59、pily eat meat. Pandas climb and swim Pandas are good climbers. Even panda cubs (幼兽) can climb trees. They can also swim, though they spend most of their time on land. Pandas dont often show these two abilities. Instead, they spend most of their time resting and eating. Unlike other bear species, pan

60、das do not hibernate (冬眠) during the winter months. Pandas attack Pandas are passive animals. When they are frightened, they will try to escape an area immediately or they will climb the nearest tree. But when they are provoked they can become violent. They show their anger by lowering their heads a

61、nd staring at their opponents (对手). They may use their paws (手掌) and mouths to attack. Pandas locate each other by smell Pandas have an unusual breeding (繁殖) system. Females are fertile for just one or two days a year. This means its difficult for a female panda to become pregnant. Yet during this i

62、mportant period, males and females show a great talent for finding each other, so much that females appear to get pregnant in the wild at almost every opportunity. Researchers have found that this success comes down to their sense of smell. Pandas leave “scent posts” (气味布告) throughout the forest by

63、urinating (小便) on trees. Those posts give information about their owners, including their identity, sex and age. When other pandas pass they can get an idea of which other of their species have been the same way. 63. Which of the following statements is a misunderstanding about pandas according to t

64、he article?A. Pandas never eat meat.B. Baby pandas know how to swim.C. Pandas are still endangered animals. D. Bamboo makes up of most of pandas diet.64. According to the article, pandas may attack people when they are _.A. afraid B. angry C. excited D. hurt65. According to the article, pandas dont

65、give birth often because _.A. female pandas can only get pregnant on just one or two days in a yearB. male pandas have great difficulty finding female pandasC. many pandas dont have the right gene to give birthD. female pandas dont like the smell of male pandas66. What does the article mainly tell u

66、s?A. Why pandas are an endangered species.B. Efforts by Chinese scientists to save endangered animals.C. Some interesting facts people dont know about pandas.D. A discovery about how pandas give birth. EWhile Christmas shopping in a jewelry (珠宝) store, I discovered a clearance (清仓) table of gilded (

67、镀金的) ornaments. So beautiful in design, each had a personality all its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, picked out a few and took them home. Deciding they were much too pretty to disappear among the small gifts of a Christmas tree, I used them instead to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood

68、back to admire my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldnt some of our family and friends like these, too? I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been reduced even further. This time I bought dozens as I thought of the many people who might enjoy one for the ho

69、lidays. I eagerly began my creative project. For days, my family tiptoed around and slept among the miniature (微缩的) masterpieces. While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind wandered to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so fortunate. Som

70、e people in our community didnt have a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didnt bother with holiday decorations. Some never left their homes to celebrate the season. I nodded my head in determined satisfaction. They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath. My husband joined

71、 me in the plan, and we set out together to put it into action. We visited the aged. We visited the widowed (寡居的). We visited the lonely. Each one was thrilled with our cheery stop and immediately hung our small gifts often the only signs of celebration in their homes. After several days, I realized

72、 we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with love and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. And I came to the simple realization that we were actually the ones who received the greatest blessing that year. We had found our Christmas

73、 spirit in the doing and giving.67.What attracted the writer when she was shopping in a jewelry store?A. A gilded table. B. A golden wreath.C. Ornaments on sale. D. Beautifully designed necklaces.68. It can be inferred from the article that _.A. the ornaments the writer was very fond of sold well be

74、fore ChristmasB. the writer returned to the store to find the price of the ornaments had gone down C. the writer went to buy more ornaments because her family liked themD. a Christmas tree and wreaths are not a tradition in the writers family69. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 6 refers to _.

75、A. the writers friends B. the decorations C. those who didnt have a family in the communityD. the less fortunate people in the writers community 70. What message does the writer intend to convey with the story?A. Giving can be rewarding.B. Realizing how unhappy some are makes us feel happier.C. The

76、Christmas spirit should be spread as widely as possible.D. Its fun to exchange gifts with the people around you.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。71.
