第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，共30分）
A
I have been in England for three months now. I hope you don’t think I’ve forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I’ve not had much time for writing letters.
I shall soon be starting my studies at King’s College in London. So far I’ve been learning about England and British ways of living. There are lots of books you can read and lots of pictures you can look at about this famous city. I’m sure you’ll be more interested to know what I think about life here．
I find some of the customs interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in the mainland of Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other．
21. The writer came to London ______.
A. for sightseeing only. B. to make a living.
C. to learn British ways of living. D. to study.
22. The writer came to London from ______.
A. Asia. B. America. C. the mainland of Europe. D. Africa.
23. The writer did not write the letter earlier because ______.
A. she had forgotten her friend.
B. she was too busy to write.
C. she was lonely and sad in this strange land.
D. she was too busy studying at King’s College.
B
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out.” Said Rebcca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

24. The passage is mainly about
A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill
C. an argument about the research on the pill D. a way of wiping out painful memories
25. The drug tested on people can
A. prevent body producing certain chemicals
B. stop people remembering bad experiences
C. cause the brain to fix memories
D. wipe out the emotional effect of memories
26. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?
A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.
B. People want to get rid of bad memories.
C. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.
D. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
27. We can infer from the passage that
A. the pills will certainly stop people’s emotional memories
B. people doubt the effect of the pills
C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s physical health
D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US

C
The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment!
What you need
●A hard-boiled egg without the shell
●A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg
●A piece of paper
●A match
Method
Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.
Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.
Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.
Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.
Result
Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.
Why it happened
As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle，so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.

28. The experiment is carried out to prove .
A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater
B. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force
C. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere
D. the air pressure is not equalized around us
29. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?
A. The bottle could break.
B. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.
C. The egg needs to be shelled.
D. You need to light the paper with a match.
30. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can .
A. finish up the oxygen inside the bottle
B. make a seal in the neck of the bottle
C. equalize the air pressure inside and outside
D. Produce more oxygen inside the bottle
31. How did the egg get into the bottle?
A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.
B. It became soft without the shell.
C. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.
D. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.

D
In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690. Published without permission, it was immediately banned, and all copies were destroyed. Indeed, it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library.
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter, begun by John Campbell in 1704. Although it was heavily supported by the government, the experiment was nearly a failure, with the limited number of published newspapers. Two more papers were published in the 1720s, in Philadelphia and New York. Just before the Revolutionary War, some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies(殖民地), although Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years. Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent.
When the war ended in 1783 there were forty-three newspapers in print. The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation. Many more newspapers were started, representing all kinds of political opinions, and America’s newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs. Growth continued in every state. By 1814 there were 346 newspapers.
The price of a year’s worth of newspapers was usually over a full week’s pay for a worker. It had to be paid in full and in advance. This cheap, interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading, which is now taken for granted.

32. The main force to affect public opinion in America for America’s independence was _______.
A. different kinds of newspapers B. the appearance of more papers
C. the articles in colonial newspapers D. the centers of American printing
33. Why did the author say Boston News- Letter was a successful newspaper? ______.
A. Because it was the first newspaper supported by the government.
B. Because it was immediately accepted by the American people.
C. Because it published a large number of newspapers.
D. Because never before was one newspaper published.
34. Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published? ________.
A. Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time.
B. Because only the British Library had the right to publish it.
C. Because it was published without the permission of the government.
D. Because no one in America could read newspapers at that time.
35. What was the situation for newspapers in America after the war ended in 1783? _______.
A. They were banned just as before.
B. It was hard to say how they developed.
C. It played a more important part in daily life.
D. All the people in America bought at least one newspaper.

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。
A credit card is a piece of plastic with a magnetic strip that you can use when you have no cash. A credit card allows you to buy now and pay later. 36 If the entire balance is not paid in full，the credit card issuer(发行者)can legally charge interest fees on the unpaid portion.
Customers may seek either a secured or unsecured credit card. 37 An unsecured credit card is generally issued to those who have a good credit history and have showed an ability to repay the debt on time. Credit limits are determined on an individual basis and may be raised or lowered based on performance.
Credit cards，if used properly，can be useful and convenient and can even help build a strong credit history that will help you with future activities like home buying，paying for higher education，and even finding a job.
38 For example，because of its convenience，people are easily tempted to spend more than they can really afford. Then some may have to get another credit card to pay the bill on the first one，and then another one after that，ending deep in debt and with a bad credit. 39 Because the merchant not only has all of your credit card details，but also a copy of your signature.
A credit card is not a requirement for successful living，but even those who only pay for goods or services with available cash often find a credit card to be a convenient f
