One afternoon Mrs. Green’s husband wanted to catch the 3:30 flight to London to have an important meeting. She was very surprised when he telephoned her at 5 o’clock and said that he was still at the airport.
“What happened to you?” asked Mrs. Green.
“Well,” said Mr. Green, “Everything was going fine. I got my ticket, checked my luggage and waited in line at the gate. I walked across the runway to the airplane and I saw my friend Jack Scott, who was an airplane engineer. I shouted to him and a policeman caught me.”
“Why did he catch you?”
“I don’t know,” said Mr. Green, “As soon as he heard my shout, he ran towards me and caught me.”
“What did you shout to your friend?”
“All I said was ‘Hi, Jack’ . You know that’s the usual way we say hello to our friends.”
“But you don’t know the sentence ‘Hi, Jack ’ also means to take control of a plane by force（武力）.”

Passage Five
Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on talking about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting, "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny."
Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned a lot. "I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she nswered. "He's never said anything about this to me!" Mrs. Green looked at Danny. "How long has this been going on?" She asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to play with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.
52. We learn from the reading that______.
A. Danny was not a good student
B. Danny's mother talked too much about the school
C. Danny's teacher knew something about Danny's problem before
D. Danny wanted to get away from Rick
正确答案：D
52．答案为D 此题为推断题。阅读全篇短文后，可以推断Danny是想要摆脱Rick，因此选D。但他又不想失去一群小伙伴儿，所以最后一句说到Danny很难下决心。 -

Passage Two
"Yes, I'll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again. "It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robson hated to admit (承认) that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had prided herself on her independence (独立生活 ). She had continued to live in their little house, alone.
On this evening, however, she was standing at her living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Naturally she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale (出售) of the house, she had bought a little flat there.
She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the room. One or two pieces of furniture remained, covered with sheets (被单). The floor was bare boards, and all her pictures had been taken from the walls. There was a small fish-tank, with two goldfish circling in it. When asked why, her husband used to say, "It's nice to have something alive in the room." Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had "something alive in the room".
Tim next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, "Kate, you won't forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It's...""I know," Kate interrupted (打断) gently. "It's nice to have something alive in the room."
But in the little house, the two goldfish had stopped their circling. They were floating (漂浮) on the water, in the room with its bare boards and silent walls.
40. Mrs. Robson ______.
A. was a very proud person
B. was helpless
C. did not like asking people for favors
D. wanted to live without her husband
正确答案：C40．答案为C 此考题为细节题，根据文章第1段的...but Mrs．Robson hated to admit(承认) that she needed help．Since her husband had died ten years before，she had prided herself on her independence(独立生活)．She had continued to live in their little house，alone，我们可以认定C为正确答案。

第5题：
Text l Cycling in London is less pleasant than in many European cities.Main roads teem with lorries;winding back streets are hard Lo navigate.The number of bicycle journeys has nonetheless doubled since 2000.Nationally,just 2qo pedal to work.In Hackney,in London's East End,fully 9%do.But only 2%of women cycle to work in London,compared with 5%of men.Blacks and other ethnic minorities are reluctant to do it,too.Bori6 Johnson,London's mayor,oversaw the introduction of a bike-hiring scheme,which was started by his predecessor but quickly became known as the"Boris bike".He pushed for bright blue cycle paths on some busy roads.But the new cycle highways are far more ambitious and permanent.One will run east-west through the City and the West End.Another will run two miles from Elephant and Castle in the south to Farringdon in north London.Four existinE;routes will also be improved,while around 30 0f the city's busiest junctions wiU be made a bit less dangerous.The new superhighways ought io be much safer than London's existing cycle lanes.A raised pavement will keep cyclists away from cars and lorries.Junctions will be redesigned and some parking bays-including a rew for the disabled-will be removed.Cars will be prevented from turning down certain streets.Similar schemes exist elsewhere:since 2007 around 30 miles of protected cycle lanes have been created in New York.In Amsterdam,where lanes have existed for decades,old people and women are far more inclined to cycle.Greens have long lobbied for cycle paths on the grounds that movin8 people out of cars cuts air poUution.A series of highly publicised accidents,including one involving a newspaper journalist,and several deaths in the city have also put pressure on the mayor to make London safer.And the social transformation of the capital has encouraged officials to smile on cyclists.The population of inner London is rebounding as affluenL folk move in.The new inhabitants want cleaner streets and fewer cars,which are viewed as suburban.Cycling was once a means of transport for the poor.But it has become an imporlant marker of an affluent world city,argues Isabel Dedring,the deputy mayor for transport."There's more pressure on cities to be nice places to live,"she says.
The Green Party's aLtitude towards cycling is——A.optimistic
B.impartial
C.critical
D.favorable答案：D解析：态度题。根据Green Party定位到第四段首句Greens，该词指的就是Green Party“绿党”。该句的cycle paths“自行车道”指题干的cycling，故确定该句为本题答案句：Greens have long lobbied for cycle paths on Lhe grounds that moving people out of cars cuLs air pollution.”绿党基于人们不开汽车可以减少空气污染的观点，很早就在游说要建设自行车道。”其中，lobbied for cycle paths可以说明绿党的态度，该党派为建设自行车道而lobby“游说”，可见该党派支持骑自行车。选项[A]opLirrustic“乐观的”；[B]impartial“不偏不倚的”；[C]cntical“批判的”；[D]favorable“支持的”。显然[D]为正确答案。 -

第16题：
An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communities?with the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world．
The people in the five regions in Europe,Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100?have a lot going for them．Genes probably play a small role,but these folks also have strong social?ties,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise．
As we?were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones,as described in author Dan?Buettner′s latest book,The Blue Zones Solution,we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in?these regions．In fact,Buettner′s Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized from?his 15 or so years of studying these places—is:“Drink coffee for breakfast,tea in the afternoon,wine?at 5 p．m．”
Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea．Researchers are most enthusi-astic about the components in green tea,as well as foods like cocoa．Why might they help so many?Okinawans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart?disease and several cancers．One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve?metabolism(新陈代谢)．
If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria,the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won′t be offered any tea made with tea leaves．Instead,Ikarians typically make their daily cup of?tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary,wild sage,oregano,marjoram,mint or dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory(消炎的)properties,which may help lower blood pressure．This could explain Ikaria′s very low dementia(痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease．
According to Paragraph?3,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?《》（）A.In the morning．
B.Any time of a day．
C.In the early evening．
D.In the afternoon．答案：D解析：【考情点拨】事实细节题。
【应试指导】由第三段最后一句中的“tea in the afternoon”可知，喝荼的建议时间是下午，故选D。 -
