minutes late for my appointment.I went to the manager's office，knocked and walked in.The manager was sitting behind his desk.He was the man who had taken my parking space.‎ Text 10‎ M：Hello.‎

W：Well，let's see.Did you know that it's harder to forget smell than to forget facts？There have been experiments where people can pick up a particular smell 30 days after smelling it for the first time.‎ M：Really？So smells can bring about more memories than...say music?‎ W：That seems to be the case.‎ M：That's interesting.So what's your favorite smell?‎ W：Oh，I have lots of different ones.The smell of the sea reminds me of happy family holidays and the smell of roses makes me think of my friend's house.Strangely enough，I like the smell of aircraft fuel at airport.And I know I'm going to flight to somewhere exciting.But it's the general smell of my garden in the rain that I really like the most.That means I am at home where I should be.‎ 第二部分　英语知识运用(共两节；满分45分)‎

A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.‎ Mirrors have a very particular __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a __37__ mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__ do all of the people in our lives. ‎ When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden __39__ a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n) __40__ of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply __41__ into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”. __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've __43__ each other for a long time. That feeling can come from __44__ similarities.‎ Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵). __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly __47__ about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend __49__ time. ‎ Often, when we __50__ qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's __51__ to us.‎ At times we meet someone __52__ and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted. __53__ we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or __54__ to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to __55__ what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more selfawareness.‎ ‎36．A.target　 　 B．style　　　‎ C．function　　 D．color ‎[解析]根据下一句可知，本句是说镜子具有独特的功能或作用，因此选择function，意为“功能”。‎ ‎[答案]C ‎37．A.medical B．physical ‎ C．chemical D．mental ‎[解析]就像人们可以从有形的镜子中看到自己，生活中的所有人也同样可以反映自己。physical“有形的”。‎ ‎[答案]B ‎38．A.so B．then ‎ C．nor D．neither ‎[解析]本句是把我们生活中的人比作镜子，因为前面的句子是肯定形式，因此选择so，表示“某人或某物也……”。 ‎ ‎[答案]A ‎39．A.focuses on

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A ‎(2010·浙江高考)Below is a housing guide for students going to London.‎ University accommodation(住所)offices Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords(房东)．Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem.The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.‎ Property papers：Loot and Renting Loot is an important source(来源)of information about private housing for corenters.The offers are from private landlords，agencies and individuals looking for other corenters.They also have a website：www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.‎ Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.Their website is at www.renting.co.uk.‎ Accommodation agencies The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirement and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters. ‎ Noticeboards Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted.These will either be from landlords or from students.Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation.However，advertisements from landlords can be problematic.‎ Word of mouth ‎ Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.However，don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.‎ Family Faced with the very high rents charged in London，some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.‎ ‎56．What is the advantage of using Loot?‎ A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.‎ B．It gives you personal information about other corenters.‎ C．Their website is designed mainly for students.‎ D．There are some good bargains.‎ ‎[解析]细节理解题。根据文章中第二部分第四句“The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.”可知应该选择D项。bargain“廉价物”，在这里指Loot提供一些租价低廉的房屋的信息。‎ ‎[答案]D ‎57．A good agent can help you________.‎ A．know more people B．find cheap accommodation C．get the right accommodation quickly D．get free information about most accommodations ‎[解析]细节理解题。根据文章中第三部分第三句“A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.”可知应该选择C项，意思是“能够帮助你快速地找到合适的住宿的地方。”‎ ‎[答案]C ‎58．The information passed on by word of mouth is important because________.‎ A．it is better than that found through any other source B．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised C．the final year students always offer better information D．the landlords have little valuable information ‎[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第五部分第一句“Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.”可知应该选择B项。‎ ‎[答案]B ‎59．For students going to London for the first time，which of the following provides the most reliable information?‎ A．University accommodation offices.‎ B．Loot and Renting.‎ C．Noticeboards.‎ D．Family.‎ ‎[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第一部分第一句“Many university accommodation offices ‎ have their own list of registered landlords.”可知，许多的大学住宿机构都有自己的房东清单。由此推断大学的住宿机构能提供最可靠的信息。‎ ‎[答案]A B Compared to adults, children seem to be moving constantly. So it's no surprise that most parents who are quizzed about their child's physical activity level describe their children as fairly active. But a new study of nearly 2000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical activity their children are really getting. ‎ The researchers equipped 1892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that measure all physical activity during a given time period. The research，known as the Speedy study collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk，England, between April and July 2007.‎ A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity. Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a_sizable_minority_of_children_were_not. Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an hour of physical activity each day.‎ But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child's activity level，the vast majority—80 percent—described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Interestingly, the children themselves had more awareness about their lack of physical activity. Overall, 40 percent of children overestimated their physical activity.‎ But it wasn't the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical activity levels. The parents who were most out of touch about their child's physical fitness were more likely to have children who were slim. Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical activity. The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity for children even if the child is not overweight.‎ ‎“Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately active.”the study authors reported. “Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change.”‎ ‎60．According to the Speedy study，what kind of children can be judged physically inactive?‎ A. Slim children.‎ B. Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity.‎ C. Overweight children.‎ D. Children out of touch with their parents for a long time.‎ ‎[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话可知，如果孩子一天的运动时间少于1个小时，那么他就被认为是不好动的。‎ ‎[答案]B ‎61．What does the writer probably mean by saying “a sizable minority of children were not”in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The amount of children's physical activity is far from the writer's satisfaction.‎ B. Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.‎ C. A small number of children didn't overestimate their physical activity.‎ D. The minority of children were not studied at all.‎ ‎[解析]句意理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，本句不是要强调大部分孩子得到了足够的锻练，而是要让人们注意到还有一些孩子的运动时间没有达到标准，由此可以看出作者对孩子的运动量并不满意。‎ ‎[答案]A ‎62．The passage is intended to________.‎ A. encourage parents to fairly judge their children's physical activity levels B. persuade parents to keep an eye on their children's weight C. urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise D. advise parents to keep in touch with their children ‎[解析]推理判断题。根据文章的第一段最后一句可知许多父母过高地估计了孩子的运动量，因此本文的写作目的就是要求父母能够客观地判断孩子的运动量。‎ ‎[答案]A C ‎(2010·上海春招)A 69yearold grandmother with no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal battle to stop a Scottish regional council(政务委员会) adding fluoride(氟化物)chemical to the public water supply.‎ In a case which has already cost the taxpayer ￡1,000,000，the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay.‎ At her home last night Mrs Catherine McColl said, “I did what I thought was right and I would do it again，too.”She claimed that adding fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup.“Where would it stop？”she asked.“They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.”It was a horrible poison，she said，that could have caused all kinds of diseases，including cancer.‎ The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on public health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its use was greatly favoured by the dental profession, he could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs McColl in particular，might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to ‎ improve public wellbeing without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority's legal duty to provide“wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink，did not，he said，extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means.‎ ‎63.

While we get on well with a number of people, __71___ .‎ Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”.

Opinions vary from person to person.__________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎[答案]‎ One possible version：‎ Recently,_people__are__having__an__argument__on_whether_a_subway_should_be_built_or_not_in_the_city._Opinions_vary_from_person_to_person.‎ Some people think it necessary to build a subway. For one thing, building a subway can help solve traffic problems and people will enjoy a more convenient life. For another，it provides a new means of transportation，which is environmentally friendly.‎ On the other hand, others hold the opposite opinion. From their point of view, the long process of construction is bound to influence the city's traffic. What's more，too much money will be spent building it, and it will take a long time to get the money back.‎ Weighing the pros and cons，I support the idea that a subway should be built because not only will the environment be protected but also more space will be saved.‎
