A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
Pubs are an important part of British life. Pubs, formally public houses, are common in towns
4
and villages in England. People usually talk, eat, drink, meet their Mends and relax there. You can order soft drinks like orange juice, cola or coffee, but many people go to pubs to have an alcoholic drink. Many types of alcoholic drinks are available, but the most popular drink is beer.
Traditional English beer comes in a variety of local flavours and is called \"draught Deer. All draught beers are served from a hand pump on the bar rather than in bottles or cans. Unlike American or other European beers, it is served cool but not cold. Nowadays, a lot of English people enjoy a European beer called lager (淡味啤酒). This is lighter, more refreshing (清新的) and is served cold. Beer is sold in pint or half-pint glasses (a pint is just over half a litre ). When you order a drink, ask for a 'pint' or a 'half' of the beer you want to try.
There is no waiter service in an English pub. You go to the bar and place your order to the bar staff. They will pour your drinks and pass them to you. They will then tell you how much to pay. You have to pay for your drinks there and then. After receiving your change, you can carry your drinks back to a table to enjoy. It is usual for friends to take turns buying drinks for each other. This is known as 'buying a round'.
Pubs sell cheap food too. The choice of food ranges (设计) from small bar snacks such as crisps and peanuts, to three-course meals. A popular meal during the summer months is a 'ploughman's lunch'. This is a dish of bread, cheese or ham, and salad which is served cold. You will often find a pub's menu written on a blackboard. There may even be daily specials for you to try.
You must be at least 18 years old to buy alcohol (含酒精的饮料) in England. Children under 14 years old are not usually allowed inside a pub, but families with children can sit outside in the garden, known as the beer garden, when the weather is warm. Parents are allowed to buy soft drinks for their children.
Pubs are places where people go to enjoy themselves. People like to drink, eat, talk with friends and have a good time. If you go to an English pub, you will get a true taste of English life. 69. Traditional English beer is ______.
A) served slightly cold B) served in pint glasses only C) served by waiters D) called lager 70. The bar staff ______.
A) are called waiters B) expect you to tip them C) pour your drinks before you pay D) pour your drinks after you pay. 71. If you 'buy a round', you ______.
A) pay for your drinks at the end of a meal B) taste a variety of beers C) share the cost of drinking with friends C) pay for your own drinks 72. Pub food ______.
A) is cheese or ham B) doesn't cost much money C) is called a 'bar snack' D) is special English meal 73. Children ______.
A) are allowed in pubs B) cannot drink alcohol
C) must not eat pub food D) must buy rounds of drinks 74. English pubs ______.
A) serve only alcoholic drinks B) are for families only
C) serve both food and drink D) are no longer common in England

\"Uncle Sam\" is usually used to refer to the United States or the US government. It is the nickname of the country. It is hard to believe that this nickname became known quite by accident and there was a man 75 \"Uncle Sam.\" However, not many people have ever heard of such a man. Not even most young Americans.
The man was called Samuel Wilson. He was born in Arlington, Massachusetts, September 13, 1776. At the age of 14 Sam joined the American Revolutionary (美国革命) War, and 76 in the army under George Washington until the end of the war. He then moved to Troy, New York State, and began a meatpacking business. He earned a reputation (赢得了声誉) for being honest and hard working. He was locally respected and admired, thus greeted as Uncle Sam.
One day in 1812, a group of visitors came to Sam's meatpacking plant (肉类加工厂). Among them was Government official. He 77 the capitalized letters (大写字母) EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A worker replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson, the businessman for whom Sam was working. And he added 78 that US (actually it was the short form for United States) stood for Uncle Sam Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all army supplies were from \"Uncle Sam\".
In May 1813, this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York. Since Uncle Sam was an example of a hard-working man and a lover of America, the idea of \"Uncle Sam\" as the name of this kind of man became well-known rapidly. Uncle Sam was ready to help 79 and place the interest of the nation (国家利益) above all - this is in line with (与„„相符) the American spirit. This makes the Americans consider Uncle Sam 80 the symbol of the USA. In 1961 the US Congress made a decision that \"Uncle Sam\" is the America's national symbol. 75. A) was B) named C) asked D) was called 76. A) served B) stayed C) joined D) entered 77. A) saw B) observed C) studied D) noticed 78. A) surprisingly B) seriously C) jokingly D) carefully 79. A) other B) others C) everyone D) another 80. A) to B) for C) like D) as
C) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分） We are now living in the modern society. Most of the energy which we are using for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料) . These are carbon-based fuels (碳基燃料 from oil, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p 81 the energy.
There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g 82 effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n 83 left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃发动机)that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.
Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel - hydrogen (氢) . There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e 84 surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more
6
efficient than carbon-based fuels.
Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c 85 , if it is too expensive, we cannot afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely (非常) low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S 86 these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities (大量) of cheap coal, and there are still 1 87 oil and gas reserves (储备) elsewhere, the effects on the planet's climate will be catastrophic (灾难性的) if they are used. D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Uniforms, used for identifying people, are seen almost everywhere in the world. They are a part of everyday life. Let's look at some of the reasons why people wear uniforms and the types of people that wear uniforms.
Many children have to wear a uniform at school. Boys and girls must wear the same coloured clothes and a school tie. There is often a school badge on the jacket or shirt. There are many reasons for having a school uniform, Firstly, the uniform shows that the children attend the same school. It is important for children to feel they belong to a school and that they identify with their school. Secondly, the uniform makes it easy for other people to tell which school the children go to. They know they must be on their best behaviour because people know which school they go to and the children are proud of their school. Thirdly, school uniforms are comfortable, smart clothing. Finally, it is cheaper for parents to buy one set of clothes for their child. Most parents cannot afford to buy lots of expensive, fashionable clothes for their children.
It is not only children who wear uniforms. Think about police officers, bus drivers, security guards, chefs, waiters, and bank clerks. They all wear special clothes for their jobs. These clothes are comfortable and practical for their daily work. Their uniforms also allow the public to recognize them at once.
Many other people wear uniforms too. A business person usually wears a dark suit, a white shirt, a tie, and carries a briefcase to the office. A builder wears jeans, strong shoes and a T-shirt. The clothes a person wears tell other people the kind of job the person does.
Go to a shopping mall at the weekend. You will see groups of teenagers wearing blue jeans, colourful T-shirts and baseball caps. These clothes say, ‘We are young and free. We do not need to work.’ But they are all wearing the same clothes as part of the same group. Although they may not like the uniform they have to wear at school, they like to have a group identity. At the weekend, they have a group identity by wearing the same styles of clothes as their friends. This is also a uniform-----the uniform of youth.
Clothes communicate many thing about the wearers: their jobs, their social groups, even their attitudes. What do you want to tell people through the clothes you wear? 88. Are children the only people who ware uniforms?
_____________________________________________________________________. 89. Why are children on their best behaviour when they wear their school uniforms ?
_________, ___________________________________________________________. 90. Why do police officers wear uniforms?

Mrs. White went to cook the lunch, leaving her 3-year old son, Tommy, playing alone in the garden. Suddenly, she heard a sharp cry of Tommy. Mrs. White rushed into the garden and found a big snake rolling the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Mrs. White was frightened and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake's mouth.
It was a fearless mother's love that made Mrs. White forget what danger she was facing. When she heard the boy's voice and breath become weaker, her heart was broken and she nearly went mad.
Without thinking, she threw herself onto the snake, opened her mouth and bit into the snake's back. But it was useless. The boy's voice became much weaker now. Mrs. White was really mad. She picked up a big stone and hit it at the head of the snake madly. Blood was running out of the snake's body. The snake was badly hurt. It let go off the boy and moved back into the woods. (15.

Hans Christian Andersen was born in Denmark, on April 2, 1805. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother was a washerwoman.
Even as a child he always loved the arts, and he left home at age 14 in 1819 to make his fortune. He was an artist, a singer, and an actor, but he was not a success at first until he found his talent in writing fairy tales. His first book of fairy tales was published in 1835, and he followed it with many other volumes of children's stories, almost one a year, right up till 1872. Because of his wonderful fairy tales, Andersen became one of the most beloved children's writers in the world. In his lifetime, he wrote more than one hundred and fifty fairy tales, and his stories have been translated into over 100 language!
Hans Christian Andersen was tall and thin with a big nose. He always thought that he was very ugly. But his stories teach us that appearances can tell lies, and that there is a magical beauty even within the most ugly people.
