My best friend who lives in another city will have her 30th birthday party this weekend, but she hasn’t invited me. Last year, she flew up to my city for my 30th birthday. She was also one of my bridesmaids (伴娘) at my wedding. We have never had any arguments, and I am not sure why. At this point in our lives, would she be pulling away from me? Our another friend who lives in the same city as me has been invited and she told me about the ‎ party.‎ About three days ago, I emailed my friend and asked if she would have a party. I have not received a response up to now. When should I do? Should I contact her and let her know how I love to go and celebrate with her? I really don’t want to lose such a dear friend. Please help!‎ Yours Elyse Hi, Elyse,‎ You must have felt very sad about it. And you did absolutely the right thing by asking. Your friend not to respond at all is rude, but is there any possibility that your message got lost in cyberspace (网络空间)? Can you send it again?‎ Your friend hasn’t told your mutual (共同的) friend not to say anything about the party to you, has she? You should make clear whether she didn’t want to invite you or there were some other reasons why you were not invited? Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.‎ If your friend truly hasn’t invited you, you can write to her and make your friend know she is an important person in your life. And tell her that you are hurt without her invitation to her birthday party to celebrate her special day. When your friend knows she is so important to you, she may want to continue your friendship with you.‎ Best,‎ Irene ‎21．What is Elyse’s problem according to her letter?‎ A．She had an argument with her best friend.‎ B．Her best friend has decided to move to another city.‎ C．She hasn’t been invited to her best friend’s birthday party.‎ D．Her best friend has made a new friend and wants to leave her.‎ ‎22．It is implied in Paragraph 2 of Irene’s letter that Elyse’s friend .‎ A．misunderstood her B．kept her party a secret C．only invited a few people D．might have sent her an invitation ‎23．How did Elyse feel when writing the letter?‎ A．nervous and sure.

Different people have different tastes, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact (影响) on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, comforting, energizing, and many more.‎ There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better but it’s just their own opinions.‎ Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. The lyrics (歌词) sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives. Music can also serve as a motivation for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open minded because they’re exposed to different people like the artists.‎ People can use music to express themselves in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art. You can usually tell how someone feels by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts and shows to what their interests and liking are and you see how many people have similar likings as you.‎ ‎24．What can we know about music according to the first paragraph?‎ A．All people like listening to music in some way.‎ B．Preference for music varies from person to person.‎ C．There are four kinds of impact music can bring about.‎ D．Different types of music have the same impact on people.‎ ‎25．People are likely to become friends because of ________.‎ A．the same taste of music B．the good impact of music C．the attraction of different ideas D．the arguments about music style ‎26．Music can serve as a motivation for new ideas by ________.‎ A．giving listeners controversial lyrics B．setting up role models like the artists C．opening listeners’ mind to new thoughts D．impressing listeners with familiar ‎ images ‎27．What can we know from the last paragraph?‎ A．The music you like shows who you are.‎ B．Music expresses oneself better than behavior.‎ C．The music one listens to determines his or her feeling.‎ D．Music is tool to make different people become friends.‎ C The tornado last 4 minutes, to us, it felt like a lifetime.‎ No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado from the TV than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The wind began to roar through the house. We had three flights of steps to get to the first floor. The closet down there is underneath a brick staircase, which seemed like the strongest place in our house to wait things out.‎ It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Glass flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.‎ We got close to the staircase only to hear the loud sound of our garage door coming off. The back wall of the house followed and tore off into the darkness outside.‎ By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I gripped Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay. All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over.‎ The storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.‎ ‎28．Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?‎ A．They decided to hide in the brick staircase because it was the strongest place to hide.‎ B．It was hard to make it to the first floor because there was no floor underneath them.‎ C．Their house was one of the houses in the unit that were completely destroyed.‎ D．If the tornado hadn’t stopped in time, Jimmy would have been blown away into the darkness.‎ ‎29．What’s the right order of following events?‎ a. The back wall of the house tore off into the darkness outside.‎ b. Jimmy lifted off his feet and was thought to be gone.‎ c. The author felt no pain although her knees were full of glass.‎ d. A tree branch whipped through the doorframe and flew over their heads.‎ e. The garage door came off.‎ f. The author was pushed down to the closet by Jimmy.‎ A．deafcb B．deafbc C．dfeabc D．daefcb ‎30．Which of the following words can best describe their experience?‎ A．Thrilling and smooth.

D．Painful and unfortunate.‎ ‎31．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A．An unforgettable experience B．Tornado on the way C．Love defeats everything D．The life-long 4 minutes D Not long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up 20 percent every year. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.‎ Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programs for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programs their food can never be approved organic.‎ India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries,‎ ‎ India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing food that is healthy to mankind.‎ ‎32．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．Countries all want to make money from organic farming.‎ B．Organic food has become much more common.‎ C．People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.‎ D．Farming organically is growing around the world.‎ ‎33．Why do people want to increase organic farming?‎ A．Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.‎ B．More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.‎ C．Profits from organic farming help make approval programs.‎ D．There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.‎ ‎34．From the passage, it can be said that __________.‎ A．China and India have the same amount of organic farmland B．India uses the least land to farm organically C．the US is the fourth largest organic farming country D．Brazil uses less land to farm organically than China ‎35．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A．there will be fewer organic farms if demand for organic food goes down B．people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan C．India will soon become the largest grower of organic food D．more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse 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。‎ ‎ Do you have a hard time saying no to others? Do you say "yes" when you really mean no? You're not alone. Many people end up saying "yes" to something they don't really want to do for several reasons. It is necessary to learn how to say "no".‎ ‎"I'm sorry. I just don't have the time at the moment."36．After all, your own work comes first. The other person will understand, especially if they also have a busy job.‎ ‎"I don't think I'm the best person to help you out. Why don't you try...?" If you think you can't be of any help then simply say no. 37．Recommend that person instead. This is a good one to use at work.‎ ‎"Let me get back to you." Sometimes you first have to check your schedule before you can make a promise. 38． This will waste the other person's time, which could have been spent finding someone else who would say yes.‎ ‎"I would rather refuse than say sorry later." 39．The other person will appreciate your honesty. You could even say, "I'd rather say no now than I'm sorry later." However, you must never offer to do something in the future if you don't mean it. This will turn out to be much worse than simply saying no in the first place.‎ ‎"No". This is the simplest and most direct way. Simply say "no". 40．We spend so much time thinking of good excuses when being direct is often the simplest and best way.‎ A．There is no doubt you have said no a few times.‎ B．If you are too busy then let the other person know.‎ C．There is no need to add any derails unless asked for.‎ D．You might be asked to do something when you are busy.‎ E. Maybe you know someone else who would be better suited for the task.‎ F. When you know you won't be able to do the best job you can, simply say so.‎ G. But it's not a good idea to say this when you really mean no in the first place.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （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。‎ ‎ One small mistake changed Sonia’s life.
