The next morning, he went to thank the innkeeper. ‎ ‎“You have served me well, innkeeper,” said Napoleon. “I wish to reward you. Tell me what you want.” ‎ ‎“Sir, we want nothing,” said the innkeeper. “But will you tell us something?” ‎ ‎　“What is it?” Napoleon asked. ‎ ‎　“We have heard a story,” said the innkeeper, “that once during the war, a small village was taken by the Russians. You happened to be in the village. You hid while they looked for you. Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you?” Napoleon looked very angry. He called in two of his soldiers. Then he pointed to the door. The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard. ‎ ‎　 At the end of the yard was a wall. The innkeeper and his wife were led to the wall. The soldiers tied the hands of the innkeeper and his wife. Napoleon watched, saying nothing. ‎ ‎　 “Please, sir.” begged the innkeeper, “Don’t kill us! We meant nothing!” The soldiers moved back. The innkeeper saw them raising their guns. Then Napoleon called: “Ready! Aim!” The wife screamed. “Stop!” said Napoleon. He went to the innkeeper, “Now, you know the answer to the question you asked me just now, don’t you?”‎ 21. Why did the innkeeper ask Napoleon to tell him how Napoleon felt when he was being looked for?‎ A. He wanted to know the difference between a general and an ordinary people.‎ B. He looked down upon Napoleon, for he thought a great man shouldn’t be defeated.‎ C. He showed his sympathy(同情) to Napoleon in time of danger.‎ D. He was interested in others’ failure, especially Napoleon’s.‎ ‎22．Why did Napoleon ordered his men to tie the couple?‎ A. Because he wanted to teach the innkeeper a good lesson for bothering him.‎ B. Because he wanted to kill the couple to get rid of his anger.‎ C. Because he wanted to show that he was so admiring a general that nobody could upset him.‎ D. Because he wanted to made the innkeeper know that a general like him had the same feeling as the ordinary people in face of danger.‎ ‎23. Which is the best title of the text?‎ A. Napoleon’s Trick B. Napoleon and an Innkeeper C. Napoleon’s Anger D. Napoleon’s ride B ‎ Some of the best things in life don’t happen until you grow old enough to recognize them. I can say that about tea.‎ I didn’t start to drink tea until I was 35.The first time I felt a genuine urge to drink tea was in 2003, when I stayed briefly in the United Kingdom. After a time of consuming local food, I started to really like strong black tea.‎ I took packs of green tea with me as gifts but was disappointed to find my British friends preferred much stronger black tea from Sri Lanka. Later I learned that although people know China for its tea, it ranks only third among the world’s black tea exporters, after Sri Lanka and Kenya.‎ After I came back to China and started to cover food stories, I met friends in the tea-drinking circle and learned more. Although the majority of the rest of the world drinks black tea, which the Chinese call "red tea", China produces and drinks mostly green tea.‎ I feel lucky to be Chinese because of the great variety of tea available in the country. It is estimated that there are more than 2 000 tea in China if you divide them geographically, including more than 600 locally famous tea. A more simple way to categorize it is by color and extent of fermentation (发酵). That comes down to six main categories — green, white, yellow, dark greenish (oolong), red and black tea.‎ Tasting tea can be compared to our life. It can be plain and predictable but sometimes it is full of pleasant surprises. Occasionally it can even seem too good to be true. The best thing is, you know there’s always more to explore.‎ ‎24．Which country ranks first among the world’s black tea exporters?‎ A. China B. Sri Lanka C. Kenya D. United Kingdom ‎25. The writer of the passage works as a ______.‎ A. journalist    B. manager C. scientist    D. tea grower ‎26．All of the following statements about tea in China are true EXCEPT 　　　.‎ A．varieties of tea is planted and produced each year in China B．tea in China can be divided into more than 2 000 categories geographically C．tea in China can be categorized by color and extent of fermentation D．all tea in China can be divided into six categories with no exceptions ‎27．What column does this passage belong to in a newspaper?‎ A．World. B．Business. C．Lifestyle. D．Travel.‎ C In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.‎ I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs. In their singleminded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.‎ However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.‎ ‎28．What does this passage mainly talk about?‎ A．Competition helps to set up selfrespect.‎ B．Opinions about competition are different among people.‎ C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development.‎ D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition.‎ ‎29．The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ________.‎ A．those who try their best to win B．those who value competition most highly C．those who are against competition most strongly D．those who rely on others most for success ‎30．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？‎ A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.‎ B．One's success in competition needs great efforts.‎ C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.‎ D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried.‎ ‎31．Which point of view may the author agree to?‎ A．Every effort should be paid back.‎ B．Competition should be encouraged.‎ C．Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter.‎ D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.‎ D Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.‎ These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.‎ Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them ‎ is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.‎ The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem.‎ ‎32．According to the passage, Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes ?‎ A．Because the garden are important public places.‎ B．Because they are polluting the city.‎ C．Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.‎ D．Because they’re threatening the survival of trees and other plants.‎ ‎33．In order to get rid of the flying foxes, what are people doing?‎ A．They are shooting them.‎ B．They are using rubbish containers.‎ C．They are shaking the trees hard.‎ D．They are cutting some trees down.‎ ‎34．Which of the following can replace the underlined “agitate” in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Excite B．Kill C．disturb D．discourage ‎35．What does the writer imply from the last paragraph?‎ A．The bats will still stay in the gardens.‎ B．Some area will have to deal with the bats.‎ C．The grey-headed flying fox often eat trees D．The damage caused by the bats is serious 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。‎ Habits Of Highly Successful Students Never Over-Study When you spend too much time studying you will quickly lose focus and the time spent in studying will become ‘junk time’. You think you're studying but you're just sitting there re-reading the same sentence about 100 times and you're not getting anywhere. Instead, take regular breaks. 36 . Besides, it will give your mind some time to take in what you have been doing.‎ ‎ 37 ‎ Top students don't just randomly sit down and complete work. They actually plan what they are going to do: They actually plan the time they will study and they set goals for what will be achieved. If you want to be successful, do as successful people do. Set a plan and, set a goal and stick to it, which will create a routine and a routine is the first step towards developing a habit. 38 ‎ Front Up To The Toughest Work First Many of us like to do the easy things first to build our confidence. That’s fair enough. The only challenge with this approach is that you use up your primary energy at the start of any study period and so if you are dealing with the easy parts with your primary energy your batteries will be low when it comes the time to deal with the hard part. So what happens then? 39 We all do it. We really shouldn't, though. So develop the habit of giving your primary energy to the hard tasks and completing the easy stuff last.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ Do we really have to explain this? Just turn them off for an hour, we promise the world will still be there when you log back in! Don't text your friends, don't chat while doing memory activities, don't make phone calls, just focus on what you're doing. Even if you focus on work for 15 minutes followed by 5 mins of chatting, it’s better than 30 minutes of work while also chatting! You get that right?‎ A．Plan Your Study B．Achieve Your Goal C．Positive habits decide future success.‎ D．Taking breaks can make you get everywhere.‎ E. You get tired and impatient and just give up.‎ F. Get Off Social Networking Sites And Turn Off The Phone G. Taking breaks will make you energetic again and refresh your mind.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Once a wise man and his student traveled to a remote, mountainous place.
