The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening,getting ready for the next day, and while they were busy working, they saw the bright colour of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning,it had become so bright that one of the servants,Jane, woke Peter up to see it. Peter went to the window to watch it. It seemed far away,so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it seemed that the fire had gone out, though he could still see some fire.So he began to tidy his room. While he was doing this,Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one; three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Peter went out to see for himself.He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Peter could see that it was indeed a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The officer of the Tower told him that the fire had started in the baker shop in Pudding Lane. The baker's house had caught fire from the hot oven and then the fire quickly moved to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London,a fire that went on for nearly five days,which destroyed most of the old city.第二部分:閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的4個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A(2014·湖北)London's newest skyscraper (摩天大樓) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖頂). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅桿) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a fivestar hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city. 文章大意:本文介紹了倫敦最新的摩天大樓碎片。介紹了其設(shè)計(jì)理念,未來用途以及批評家們對它提出的批判。21London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _.Aits cost Bits sizeCits shape Dits height答案:C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段信息So the building has an unusual shape.

Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said: “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (實(shí)習(xí)) with worldfamous firms such as Honda.”“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (論壇)The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (問題) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

The daughter of Hong Kong immigrants (移民), Kwan watched her older brother play ice hockey as a kid. She began skating when she was five, and entered and won her first figure skating competition at seven. She won the world title in the 1994 World Championships at the age of 13, and earned a spot as an alternate (候補(bǔ)者) for the 1994 Olympic Games. Kwan went on to capture the world title in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003.At the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998, Kwan was believed to win gold, but ended up with a disappointing silver medal when fellow US skater Tara Lipinski surprisingly took first place. Shortly before the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002, Kwan, who was then the reigning world champ, surprisingly fired both her choreographer (編舞者), Lori Nichol, and longtime coach, Frank Carroll. Once again, she failed to get the gold medal when she finished third behind Irina Slutskaya of Russia and US skater Sarah Hughes, who took first.As a student at the University of California at Los Angeles, Kwan has continued to compete since her defeat (戰(zhàn)敗) in Salt Lake City. In February 2006, she was unable to take part in the Olympic Games in Torino, Italy because of a serious injury. Though Michelle Kwan did not compete during the 20062007 figure skating season, she has turned down an offer to work for NBC Sports and says she is not retiring.29The underlined word “capture” in the first paragraph means “_”Aenter BwinClearn Dfind答案:B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段的She won the world title in the 1994 World Championships. Kwan went on to. 可知這里是指她繼續(xù)贏得世界冠軍的頭銜。30What happened to Michelle Kwan in 2002?AHer coach didn't want to train her any longer.BShe went to study at the University of California.CShe failed to take part in the Olympic Games in Torino, Italy.DShe failed to win the gold medal in the Olympics again.答案:D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的Once again, she failed to get the gold medal.可知她在2002年的冬奧會上再一次與奧運(yùn)金牌失之交臂。31Which of the following may NOT be a world champ?ALori Nichol. BMichelle Kwan.CTara Lipinski. DSarah Hughes.答案:A推理判斷題。根據(jù)surprisingly fired both her choreographer, Lori Nichol可知Lori Nichol只是一個(gè)編舞者,而Michelle Kwan、Tara Lipinski、Sarah Hughes都獲得過世界冠軍。DThe first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was The Daily Courant (每日新聞). It came out in March, 1702.In 1690,Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士頓新聞通訊), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (發(fā)行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新聞). It sells more than 11 million copies every day.32The first daily newspaper came out in _.A59 BCB700'sC1609 D1620答案:A事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段第二句可知答案應(yīng)選A。33The first printed newspaper in America came out in _.AWashington BNew YorkCBoston DNew Orleans答案:C事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第三段第一句可知答案應(yīng)選C。34Today there are about _ daily papers printed in the United States.A1,621 B1,704C1,760 D1,800答案:D事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第三段最后一句可知答案應(yīng)選D。35Which is NOT true according to the passage?AThe first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam.BEnglish language newspaper sells more than 11 million copies every day.CEurope didn't have a regularly published newspaper in 1608.DThe first daily English newspaper came out in March, 1702.答案:B推理判斷題。從最后一段的最后兩句可知,日本的朝日新聞每日的銷售量多于一千一百萬份,故B項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。I know just how you feelDo you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion._36_In the mid 1800s, Darwin divided the emotions into six typesanger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide._37_The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions. The project was designed by a Cambridge professor. His research team first had to define an “emotion”_38_Using this definition, 412 emotion terms were identified and discussed, from “afraid” to “wanting”Then each expression is acted out by six different actors. “It was really clear when the actors had got it right,” says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. “Although they were given some direction, the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move._39_” Someone who has tried to set such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who built database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements. Ekman has also found that it may not be possible for people to reproduce them artificially. The most difficult expressio
