For a Pass with Merit and Pass, the results slip shows the papers in which you did particularly well; for a Narrow Fail and Fail, the results slip shows the paper in which you were weak.‎ Paper 1 Reading and Writing 1 hour 10 minutes (50% of the total marks)‎ There are nine parts in this paper and they are always in the same order. Parts 1—5 test a range of reading skills and Parts 6—9 test basic writing skills. You write all your answers on the answer sheet.‎ Paper 2 Listening about 30 minutes, including 8 minutes to transfer answers (25% of the total marks)‎ There are five parts in this paper and they are always in the same order. You hear each recording twice.

Let’s have a look at the information below. ‎ Privacy ‎ Chinese people do not have the same idea of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marriage, which Americans think is annoying and makes them uncomfortable.‎ Family In China, elders are traditionally treated with a lot of respect while the young are cherished (关爱). In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.‎ Friends Chinese people think that hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who should give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.‎ Money As is well known, the Chinese like to save. They always plan how to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education.‎ Education Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, while Americans pay more attention to good character and faith.‎ Individualism Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do depends on the greater whole, while in America individual value is celebrated.‎ ‎29. Which do Americans pay more attention to?‎ ‎ A. Privacy, family, education and individual value.‎ ‎ B. Independence, friendship, career and good character.‎ ‎ C. Privacy, independence, good character and individual value.‎ ‎ D. Independence, career achievements, good character and faith.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ ‎ A. Chinese usually think friends are lifelong friends.‎ ‎ B. Chinese pay more attention to education and character.‎ ‎ C. Americans dislike talking about ages, income or marriage.‎ ‎ D. Americans save little money for emergencies and education.‎ ‎31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?‎ ‎ A. American Culture B. Cultural Differences ‎ C. The Value of the Culture D. Exciting and Challenging Experience C One evening about 20 years ago, I watched a documentary about how, in 1947, a “flying saucer” had crashed in Roswell. Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed, including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash. At first, the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed. Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon. I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate (调查) them myself.‎ I have done a lot of research and although I still haven’t discovered the truth about Roswell, I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs. A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons, while others turn out to be natural phenomena (现象) like planets or comets (彗星). By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called “fireball” meteors—slow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.‎ When I’m investigating a UFO report, I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer. I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area. Then I speak to my contacts at local military (军事的) bases and weather station, and then check the witness’ details against my information.‎ In about 95% of the cases I’ve dealt with, the “flying saucers” turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena. That still leaves 5% of that, no matter what, just cannot be explained.‎ ‎32. The writer says that UFOs .‎ ‎ A. always travel across the sky slowly B. usually fly near natural phenomena ‎ C. are always seen near weather balloons D. often turn out to be a kind of meteor ‎33. What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer?‎ ‎ A. He’ll suggest that you contact a military base. B. He’ll take a photograph of you for his records.‎ ‎ C. He’ll ask you to take a photograph of it for him. D. He’ll meet you and ask you to describe what you saw.‎ ‎34. When the writer investigates flying saucers, he .‎ ‎ A. makes sure that someone has taken photos of them B. gives the witness the names of people who can help ‎ C. can’t find a proper explanation about 5% of the cases D. always tells the local weather station before he arrives ‎35. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. To describe how local weather station use balloons. ‎ ‎ B. To explain why she became a flying saucer investigator.‎ ‎ C. To describe how she discovered the truth about Roswell.‎ ‎ D. To explain why she enjoys watching television documentaries.‎ D ‎ Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!‎ In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in ‎ subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too. ‎ ‎ In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.‎ ‎ Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighbourhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world. Although we don’t know what will happen to street art in the future, we can be sure that it is here to stay!‎ ‎36. Graffiti in ancient times includes different kinds of themes EXCEPT .‎ ‎ A. names and tags B. magic spells C. animals and people D. romantic messages ‎37. Which is the correct order according to the passage?‎ ‎① Demetrius wrote his tags on walls.‎ ‎② Many graffiti artists made pictures too.‎ ‎③ Other teenagers wrote their own tags on walls.‎ ‎④ There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries.‎ ‎⑤ More colourful tags appeared on trains, buses and walls.‎ ‎ A. ①③⑤②④ B. ①③⑤④② C. ④③①②⑤ D. ④①③②⑤‎ ‎38.

The main purpose of the article is .‎ ‎ A. to tell why graffiti and street art will disappear B. to tell the development of graffiti and street art ‎ C. to tell what will happen to street art in the future D. to tell the relationship between graffiti and street art 非选择题（共50分）‎ 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41～45的相应位置上。‎ ‎41.

In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October, w 66 in the United States it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. On Thanksgiving Day, families and friends g 67 to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner, and thus Thanksgiving Day is sometimes referred to as “Turkey Day”. But what is Thanksgiving all about?‎ Most people believe that Thanksgiving in America s 68 in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621, when a native-American Indian tribe (部落) helped a group of European settlers—the Pilgrims (朝圣者)—to s 69 the awful conditions in the New World. The settlers were so grateful (感激的) that they shared a three-day harvest feast (宴会) with the tribe. Since then, Thanksgiving has become a long-standing t 70 in America. Unlike the American tradition of remembering the help given by the native-American Indians to Pilgrims in the New World, Thanksgiving in Canada is s 71 a day for Canadians to give thanks for a successful harvest. Because the harvest season falls e 72 in Canada than in America. Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated in October instead of November.‎ As the n 73 of the holiday says, Thanksgiving is about being thankful. It is a time for people to give thanks to God, and it is also a time when everyone is r 74 of the things that they should be grateful for. Some people often think about what they do not have. Thanksgiving m 75 them think about the good things that they do have.‎ Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. However, we should all be thankful for what we have on more than one day a year.‎ 六、书面表达（满分15分）‎ 少年的世界是火热的，因为有憧憬，有梦想。正如一首歌所唱：“I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything …”。《二十一世纪英文报》（21st Century）正在开展以“I Have a Dream”为题的英语征文活动。请你结合以下问题，写一篇80词左右的英语征文。‎ ‎1.
