On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of
New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes,
another customer was approaching their table.
“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked
by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed
up, she also pulled up a chair.
“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my
New York friends were thinking.”
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave,
it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading
back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had
changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.
“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you
know. These are the people that make me write them.’”
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased
with this explanation.
“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.
“I don’t have to.”
Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from
afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson,
Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now
given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly
interesting story.
5. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?
A. Two strangers joined her.
B. Her childhood friends came in.
C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.
D. Some
people held a party there.
6. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s
.
A. readers
B. parties
C. friends
D. stories
7. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?
A. They live in big cities.
B. They are mostly women.
C. They come from real life.
D. They are pleasure seekers.

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see
what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself
is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around
Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples.
To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala
in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in
existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything
special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a
curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best
varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with
perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,
and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and
games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately
gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting
the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
8.What can people do at the apple events?
A. Attend experts’ lectures.
B. Visit fruit-loving families.
C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D. Taste many kinds of apples.
9.What can we learn about Decio?
A. It is a new variety.
B. It has a strange look.
C. It is rarely seen now.
D. It has a special taste.
10. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?
A. A practical idea.
B. A vain hope.
C.A brilliant plan.
D. A selfish desire.
11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show how to grow apples.
B .To introduce an apple festival.
C. To help people select apples.
D. To promote apple research.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those
are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information
is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.
By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread
faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the
University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But
when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want
them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers
analyzing
word-of-mouth
communication—e-mails,
Web
posts
and
reviews,
face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but
that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often
simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility,
Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles
on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for
six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more
likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers
and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative
feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be
aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an
article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious:
Why Things Catch On.”
12 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. News reports.
B. Research papers.
C .Private e-mails.
D. Daily conversations.
13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
14.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A . Sports new.
B. Science articles.
C. Personal accounts.
D. Financial reviews.
15 .What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B .Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

Everyone knows that fish is good for health.
16
But it seems that many people don’t cook
fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat
twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult.
17
This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
18
Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge.
Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.
19
When you have bought a fish and arrive
home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but
fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty
as the fresh one.
There
are
many
common
methods
used to
cook
fish.
20
First,
clean
it
and
season
it
with
your
choice
of
spices(调料).
Put the
whole
fish
on
a
plate
and
steam
it
in
a
steam
pot
for 8
to
10
minutes if
it
weighs
about
one pound. (A
larger
one will
take more
time.) Then,
it’s
ready
to
serve.
A. Do
not
buy it.
B. The
easiest is
to
steam
it.
C. This is
how
you
can
do
it.
D. It
just requires
a
little
knowledge.
E. The
fish
will
go
bad within
hours.
F. When buying
fish, you
should
first
smell
it.
G. The
fats
in
fish
are thought
to
help
prevent heart
disease.

When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant
21
Miller King, who was the best
22
at our school.
Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football
everywhere for
23
.
Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him
after he came back from
24
. He looked very
25
, but he didn’t cry.
That season, I
26
all of Miller’s records while he
27
the home games from the bench.
We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player,
28
I often had crazy dreams in which I was
to blame for Miller’s
29
.
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller
30
going over a
fence—which wasn’t
31
to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the
world he wanted to accept
32 from. But even that challenge he accepted. I
33
him move slowly
over the fence. When we were finally
34
on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t
tell you this during the season, but you did
35
.Thank you for filling in for
36
.”
His words freed me from my bad
37
. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was
more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was
38
ahead of me. I was right to have
39 him.
From that day on,I grew
40
and a little more real.

第二节(共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
In much of Asia, especially the so-called “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea,
41
Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic,
animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might
42
(make)of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine various
hardwoods and metal
43
(create)special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in
large pots, 44
(use) twigs(树枝) to remove it. Over time,
45
the population grew, people began
cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could be eaten
easily with twigs which
46
(gradual)turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius,
47
lived from roughly 551 to
479 B.C., influenced the
48
(develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind
people of killings and
49
(be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally
