Whether you're making a one-off trip to London or you're a regular visitor, using an Oyster travel smartcard is the easiest way to travel around the city's public transport network. Simply touch the card on the yellow card reader at the doors when you start and end your journey.     Advantages of a Visitor Oyster Card     A Visitor Oyster card is one of the cheapest ways to pay for single journeys on the bus, Tube, DLR, tram, London Overground and most National Rail services in London:     ● Save time----your card is ready to use as soon as you arrive in London.     ● It's more than 50% cheaper than buying a paper travel card or single tickets with cash.     ● There is a daily price cap----once you have reached this limit, you won't pay any more.     ● Enjoy special offers and promotions at leading London restaurants, shops and entertainment venues----plus discounts on the Emirates Air Line cable car and Thames Clippers river buses.     Buy a Visitor Oyster card     Buy a Visitor Oyster card before you visit London and get it delivered to your home address. A card costs  ￡3  (non-refundable) plus postage. Order online and arrive with your Oyster in hand!  You can also buy a Visitor Oyster card from Gatwick Express ticket offices at Gatwick Airport Station and on board Eurostar trains travelling to London.     Add Credit to Your Visitor Oyster Card     You can choose how much credit to add to your card. If you are visiting London for two days, you can start with ￡20 credit. If you run out of credit, add credit at the following locations:     ● Touch screen ticket machines in Tube, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail stations.     ● Around 4,000 Oyster Ticket Stops found in newsagents and small shops across London.     ● TFL Visitor and Travel Information Centers.     ● Tube and London Overground station ticket offices.     ● Emirates Air Line terminals. 21. When can you use your Visitor Oyster Card? A. After you become a regular visitor.          B. Only when you end your journey. C. Once you arrive in London.                D. Before you leave home. 22. What can we learn about the Visitor Oyster card?     A. It can reach you before your journey to London.     B. It requires you to pay as much as the daily price cap.     C.

At Gatwick Express ticket offices.                                       B Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy – they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices. 24. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore? A. His dream of being an inventor.            B. The support of his wife. C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.  D. Millions of exciting titles. 25. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence? A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.  B. He would be very excited if he tried it out.  C. He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.    D. The decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him. 26. We can know from the passage that ______________. A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author B. the author wanted someone else to try the idea C. the author might not regret if he failed the idea D. the author might go back to his boss if he failed 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cleverness and Kindness            B. The Starting of Amazon C. Following My Passion              D. We Are What We Choose                                 C Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when MR. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. ‘‘I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?”says Ballmer. There was just a complete gap in taste. Music was not the only distance. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectation: earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.     Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families: Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.   No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friend."      But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening," says Kerne, a psychology professor, at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents." Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic（民主） process that encourages everyone to have a say. “My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today's parents, the 40-year-olds were on the ‘after’ side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now." 28. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?          A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities. B. Parents put more trust in their children's abilities. C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs. D. Parents share more interests with their children. 29. The change in today's parent-child relationship is ________. A. more confusion among parents B. new equality between parents and children C. less respect for parents from children D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents 30. By saying "today's parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side", the author means that today's parents ______________.          A. follow the trend o f the change B. can set a limit to the change C. fail to take the change seriously D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change      31. The purpose of the passage is to ______________. A. describe the difficulties today's parents have met with B. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship    C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship            D. compare today's parent-child relationship with that in the past                                 D Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music． Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(男子气概)，the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(传统观念)，a US study says． Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions，rather than feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”． The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls．  Tony Little，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls．He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls． The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills． But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the study’s author, Abigail James of the University of Virginia． Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them．Because boys generally have sharper vision，learn best through touch, and are physically more active，they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around．“Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism(性别歧视) are major themes.” James wrote． Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships．“In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported. 32．The author believes that a single-sex school would    ________    ． A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men” B. help to form masculine aggressiveness in boys C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely D. naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys 33．It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys    ________    ． A. perform relatively better                B. grow up more healthily C. behave more responsibly              D. receive a better education 34．What does Tony Little say about the British education system? A. It fails more boys than girls academically． B. It focuses more on mixed school education． C. It fails to give boys the attention they need． D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls． 35．According to Abigail James，one of the advantages of single-sex schools is   _____      ． A. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit B.boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-minded C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys 第二节 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。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online.      36      Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread.       37      If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner.      38       You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.     39    Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.      40       At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions. A. Everyone was new to the network once. B. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. C. But try not to do so. D. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. E. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. F. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. G. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. 36. ___________ 37.____________. 38.___________39.___________40.__________ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共三节, 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四个选项（A、B、C和D）,  选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,  并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Pooja Dhingra should have been a lawyer.
