The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.21. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between _.A. Roman army and North England B. Roman army and the ScotsC. England and Scots D. a brave people and the Scots 22. “We must win or we will die.” What the leader of the Scots said means _.A. they were sure to winB. they couldn't escape from deathC. they would win and then they would dieD. they must try hard to win, otherwise they would be killed 23. The Romans climbed up the hill quietly because _.A. they didn't want to wake the ScotsB. they wanted to reach the topC. they wanted to catch the four guards firstD. they were afraid of the sharp needles of the thistle 24. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. The thistle is a beautiful plantB. The people of Scotland like the thistleC. The Romans are a brave peopleD. The thistle helped the Scots win the battleBTips for Cycle TripsCycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travelCycle travel is a cheap form of transportationDistanceOn level terrain（地形）,without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a dayDistances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visitFor many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activitiesGeographyThe gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your rangeA basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey timeIn hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhillA long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain passHowever, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrainEatFood choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns-there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.SleepWhile you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists.If you are exploring an unfamiliar world, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.25Which distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?A50km. B90km. C130km. D250km.26Form the passage, we can learn that_.Ahigh quality food is easy to get on long tripsBhotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclistsCcycling over a mountain is challenging but worthyDit takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude27We can probably read this passage in_.Aa geography book Ba research reportCa science fiction Da travel magazineCFor more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.Other scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.28According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?A. 5 billion B. 10 billion.C. 15 billion.D. 200 billion29The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about _ .A. how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsB. why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsC. where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planetsD. when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets30The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ _ ”.A. findB. imitateC. check D. form31Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?A. The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.B. Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.C. Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.D. Scientists dont believe that there might be life on other planets.DKing Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted “kings dont give up the throne(王位）, they die in their sleep.” But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So does the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy(君主制) is seeing its last days? Does that mean the writing is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyles?The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy. When public opinion is particularly polarized, as it was following the end of the Franco regime, monarchs can rise above mere politics and symbolize a spirit of national unity.It is this apparent transcendence（超越） of politics that explains monarchs continuing popularity as heads of state. And so, the Middle East excepted, Europe is the most monarch- filled region in the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican City and Andorra). Most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respected public figure.Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside. Symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history and sometimes the way they behave today symbolizes outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is strange that wealthy noble families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic（民主的）states.The most successful monarchies try their best to abandon or hide their old noble ways. Princes and princesses have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses (or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media interference makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image.32. According to the first two paragraphs, King Juan Carlos of SpainA. used to enjoy high public supportB. was unpopular among European royalsC. eased his relationship with his rivalsD. gave up his throne in embarrassment33. Monarchs are kept as heads of state in Europe mostlyA. owing to their undoubted and respectable statusB. to achieve a balance between tradition and realityC. to give voters more public figures to look up toD. due to their everlasting political symbolizing34. Which of the following is shown to be strange, according to Paragraph 4?A. The noble families excessive dependence on inherited wealthB. The role of the nobility in modern democraciesC. The simple lifestyle of the noble familiesD. The nobilitys sticking to their privileges35. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Carlos, a good example of All European MonarchsB. Europe, the most monarch-filled region in the worldC. Carlos, a Lesson for All European MonarchsD. Europe, symbolic heart of modern democracy.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。Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 36 When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. 37 Its likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.Gain a correct view of oneself. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 38 Self-appreciate. Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 39 If you earnestly admire your
