第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
（ A ）
If you plan to stay at a hostel (招待所），you're probably on a budget They’re generally cheaper than hotels and have the added benefit of providing free facilities such as a kitchen, laundry and Internet service. It’s an excellent cash saver. I’ve stayed in many hostels around the world and I continually use the tips below to keep the wallet full：
Enjoy a free breakfast
I don’t eat until just before 10 am so I can combine breakfast and lunch together to save some money. I’ve found the breakfast offerings quite good when travelling, so fill yourself up on the free breakfast so you needn’t think about lunch. - 3 -
th
-
Use the kitchen facilities
Any hostel should have a kitchen available to its guests. If you need to save some cash, stop eating out. Go to the local market, buy some delicious local ingredients and make yourself a lovely home cooked meal. Ask the front desk for tips
In most cases people working at the front desk will be a local and if not，they would have been living there long enough to know all the local deals. Pick their brain to find out the best and cheapest places to eat and drink and also find out the best trips to go on.
Drink and eat at the hostel bar
It’s a hostel, so they know their customers are travelling on a budget so their bar prices should show this. Most hostels have food and drink specials on most nights to draw the hungry crowds. Use the free Internet
If you cannot have access to free WiFi in your room you can have access to free WiFi in the common area or kitchen. Having free WiFi is important as you can save money by making cheap international calls online. 21. What is the text mainly about? A. How to book a proper hostel. C. How to enjoy meals in a hostel.
B. How to avoid cheats in a hostel. D. How to save money in a hostel.

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people ,who have low self-esteem(自尊),are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance(安慰）that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise .A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one:” You’re just saying that to make me feel good .I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely got rid of ,or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths, for example, not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to absence of inferiority. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves. the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
25.The first paragraph is mainly about ___________ A.the thoughts of shy people
B.the cause of shyness

B. They feel it is not true

I hadn’t walked across our old farm in fifteen years. Fifteen years ago，rain or shine, I used to walk this path each day to see Greta. She always made me smile, even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel. I would help Greta with her chores(家务）. Then we would enjoy her delicious homemade chocolate cookies and ice cream. Being confined to a wheel chair didn’t stop Greta from being a great cook. Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received. First, she taught me how to read. She also taught me that when I forgave Sister for our quarrels, it meant I wouldn’t keep feeling like a victim. Instead, I would feel sunny.
Mr. Dinking, the local banker, tried to take away Greta’s house and land after her husband passed away. Thanks to Pa and Uncle Johan, Greta got to keep everything. Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta’s homemade cakes, pies, breads, cookies, and ice cream. Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr. Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends. That’s just what Greta was. She could turn anyone into a friend!

If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. - 7 -
-
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is
33.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______ A. provide some key facts about Confucius

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。
Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear. Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning. F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea. - 9 -
-
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

Good morning, everyone,
My topic today is how to live a low-carbon life. As we all know, the earth is becoming warmer and warmer due to the global climate change. Many people may think that low-carbon life is far away from us. However, every one of us can reduce our daily carbon emissions by doing something.
Firstly, changing our previous living habit of wasting things is the first step. We can use energy-saving electricity lights instead of the traditional lights, and turn them off when we don’t use them. Never leave the water running when we don’t use it. When we need to contact someone , it’s better to send an e-mail than use paper to write letters.
Use the public transport or ride your bicycle instead of driving private cars when we travel somewhere. Even if we have to drive, we’d better plan it well in advance to avoid wasting fuel.
It is believed that the global climate change is due to the human activities. Only if we know what we do in our daily life and live a low-carbon life can we make a difference.
