Two thieves came to a house to steal something. They dug a hole in the wall of the house. There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house. “Look! In comes one.” she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted, “In come two. Catch them! ” The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they？I will catch them tonight.” The two thieves started running away at once.

sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At the time, the man couldn’t wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up.

Introduction
Blenheim Palace is one of the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces. It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke (公爵) of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XIV’s army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River.
The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Winston Churchill
- 2 - B. Terrible Mice D. A Clever Couple
In 1874, the palace was the birthplace of the duke’s most famous descendant, Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK’s Prime Minister (some would say Britain’s greatest 20th-century politician ) and Nobel Prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908.
A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man’s life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace.
Opening Hours & Admission
Blenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round (although the park is). The palace opens its doors to visitors from 12 February to 11 December. Entry to the palace, park and gardens cost ￡11.50 during the low season and ￡13 during the peak season (Easter weekend and from 28 May to 11 September), or ￡6/￡8 for the park and gardens only.
The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm (last entry). Admission is ￡2.50 for adults and ￡1.50 for children.

A. It is the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.
B. It is the largest royal building in England.
C. It is now one of the world’s heritage sites.
D. It was built in honor of Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

C I miss the Internet. I know that, technically, the Internet still exists. But I miss the old days before money invaded the Internet—the early 2000s when I created the literary blog. Back then, nothing you did mattered. And that gave you freedom. Back then, the online book culture was run mostly by enthusiasts and amateurs, people who were creating blogs simply for the pleasure of it，rather than to build a career or a brand. Once advertisers showed up, offering to pay us to do the thing we were doing just for fun, it was very hard to say no. The problem with doing what you love as a day job is that you have to make compromises in order to make money. When you’re just an enthusiast, you can write about anything you want. Your only restriction is the limit of your curiosity. But you probably won’t get much attention. And in the world of online publishing, attention is everything. Your profit is linked directly to how many clicks and page views you got. In order to make enough money to run a real publication, you have to write about books everyone has already heard of. You have to narrow your conversation down to the one that is already happening elsewhere. It’s not just the publications that prefer these voices, it’s the readers themselves. I have given up making money on the site, and I would just shrug and continue to publish the voices I am interested in. I am lucky because I have a side business as a consultant, so the advertising dollars are not essential. But for those who do rely on this income, they have to adjust their coverage to their audience’s desires. There is a way to strike a balance: do the shallow things that you know will get money, and let that pay for your favorite projects.
A. a writer
C.￡l1.5 D.￡13 B. an advertiser C. an actor D. a teacher - 4 -
29. Why does the author miss the Internet in the early 2000s? A. He could earn a lot of money. B. He had free access to the Internet. C. His literary blog was very popular. D. His interest was not affected by money. 30. Which of the following could get the most clicks? A. Compositions written by students. B. Reports about advanced science. C. Articles about popular topics. D. Reviews about books few people have read. 31. What advice does the author give in the text?
A. Think twice before you act. B. Never do things against your will. C. Earn money to do your favorite things. D. Follow your dream until you achieve it.
D
Uganda’s lion population has fallen by 30 percent in the last ten years. Experts are warning that the big cats could soon disappear from the country. That could hurt Uganda’s important and money-making tourism industry.
We are in one of Uganda’s national parks. There are grasslands as far as the eye can see. And there are many travelers from around the world. They have woken up early -- before the sun rises -- and their camps are now empty. They are hunting, not with guns but with cameras.
Lions are growing harder to find throughout Uganda. Last month, the non-profit organization Wildlife Conservation Society said now only a little more than 400 lions remain in Uganda. That is one third less than ten years ago.
Tutilo Mudumba is a researcher with the Wildlife Conservation Society, or WCS. He says lions face many threats, such as hunters and local farmers. He says if no action is taken to reduce these threats, lions could one day disappear from Uganda. He said, “If nothing is done and the population keeps going down, then it will not be likely that we will have them. If they reduce by 30 percent every 10 years, then of course those are the number of years left for you to have zero.”
The disappearance of lions from Uganda could hurt the country’s economy. In 2006, the WCS studied the expectations and spending of visitors to Uganda. It found that each lion was worth $13,500 a year to the economy. The study also found that only 60 percent of tourists would still visit Uganda’s national parks if there were no lions left. The World Bank estimates tourism brought 1 billion dollars to Uganda’s economy last year.
32. How would the disappearance of lions affect Uganda?
A. No tourists would go there again. B. Its economy would break down.
D. The balance of nature would be C. It would greatly damage its tourism.
broken.
33. Where did the travelers go in the second paragraph?
A. They left to tour the large grasslands. B. They were hunting lions with guns.
C. They went out to search for lions.
went home.
34. How many lions were there in Uganda ten years ago?
A. About 600. B. About 500. C. About 450. D. About 800. D. They finished their trips and
35. Which of the following threatens lions in Uganda?
A. Too many tourists from abroad. B. Hunting by hunters and farmers.
C. Polluted environment in Uganda. D. Competition with other wild animals.
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填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 36 It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator (电梯) music” because we - 6 -
often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 37
If you listen to muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 38
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of muzak in the background. 39 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
40 They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear muzak!
A. Some people don’t like muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

One possible version：
Dear James,
My name is Li Hua, a senior school student. I read your post on a social website and I am glad to know that you are interested in the life and study of Chinese students.
Generally speaking, our life is stressful. Faced with the pressure from the College Entrance Examination, we all work very hard. However, we do have a rich and colorful school life. In school, we have a variety of activities, such as speech contests and singing competitions. After school, we often do voluntary work to serve the community, through which we gain some social experience and happiness. I hope you can come and study with us, experiencing our life in person.
Looking forward to seeing you in China!
Yours,
Li Hua
