Google and Toyota have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road
without a driver. It drives itself. The self-driving car hasn't been on sale to the public, so we don't
know how much it costs. Another thing most people want to know is whether it will be safe
enough to run on the road.
The self- driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can' t drive very quickly—the top
speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system (系统) on the car.
The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car and a UDAR
sensor (激光雷达传感器) on top of it. A computer processes the information and decides what to
do: self- driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it's very easy to use,an
engineer of Google says.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on- December 26th, which is the following day
after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.
Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the
whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the
public holiday.
The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the
Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was
placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would
drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.
Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for
the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until
Christmas.
One more thought is about the Boxplaced in every church on Christmas Day.
Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day
after Christmas: That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of
Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing
gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping
are popular Boxing Day activities now.
23. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to ____.
A. save the poor B. pay for the priest
C. discover new land D. pray for sailing safety
24. What does the underlined phrase
25. The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT ____.
第7页

A. offering gifts to the poor B. supporting families in need
C. spending time with family D. giving money to aid Food Banks
26. The purpose of the passage is ____.
A. to praise the kindness of priests B. to introduce the origins of Boxing Day
C. to call on people to help the poor D. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas
Day
D
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the
world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much
different than that in some Western countries, it appears they are not nice guests, And Western
hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is
always fruit. on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the
West, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual
behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her
guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly,
but. I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American
homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At
the very least, you could ask
can't smoke.
allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to these habits
very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family, she tells me to
buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you
invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
第8页

In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because
you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If Western hosts
invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you
have expected.
27. When a Western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ____.
A. buys some fruit B. feels like a god
C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of tea
28. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?
A. It's OK if you smoke here? B. Let's smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can't smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
29. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase
A. think back to B. get used to
C. look forward to D. keep close to
30. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D. People should understand cultural differences.

七、阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）
阅读短文，根据要求完成文后的题目。
Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner
should do? First of all, successful language learners are independent（独立的）learners. They do
not depend on books or teachers. They find out their own ways to learn the language. Instead of
waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find methods and rules for themselves. They also
look for clues（线索）and get their own ideas by guessing（猜测）. When they guess wrong, they
try again. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.
Successful language learning is active （积极的）learning, so successful learners do not wait
for a chance to use the language. They usually look for such a chance. They find native speakers
and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They
are not afraid to repeat（重复）what they hear or to say strange things.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose（目的）. They want to learn
the language because they are interested in native speakers' lives. It is necessary for them to learn
the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their cultures and
so on.
1. What don't independent learners depend on? (no more than 8 words)

2. What is more important for successful language learners to do than to know the meaning

without a driver. It drives itself. The self-driving car hasn't been on sale to the public, so we don't
know how much it costs. Another thing most people want to know is whether it will be safe
enough to run on the road.
The self- driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can' t drive very quickly—the top
speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system (系统) on the car.
The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car and a UDAR
sensor (激光雷达传感器) on top of it. A computer processes the information and decides what to
do: self- driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it's very easy to use,an
engineer of Google says.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on- December 26th, which is the following day
after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.
Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the
whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the
public holiday.
The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the
Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was
placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would
drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.
Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for
the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until
Christmas.
One more thought is about the Boxplaced in every church on Christmas Day.
Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day
after Christmas: That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of
Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing
gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping
are popular Boxing Day activities now.
23. Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to ____.
A. save the poor B. pay for the priest
C. discover new land D. pray for sailing safety
24. What does the underlined phrase
25. The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT ____.
第7页

A. offering gifts to the poor B. supporting families in need
C. spending time with family D. giving money to aid Food Banks
26. The purpose of the passage is ____.
A. to praise the kindness of priests B. to introduce the origins of Boxing Day
C. to call on people to help the poor D. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas
Day

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the
world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much
different than that in some Western countries, it appears they are not nice guests, And Western
hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is
always fruit. on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the
West, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual
behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her
guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly,
but. I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American
homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At
the very least, you could ask
can't smoke.
allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to these habits
very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family, she tells me to
buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you
invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
第8页

In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because
you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If Western hosts
invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you
have expected.
27. When a Western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ____.
A. buys some fruit B. feels like a god
C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of tea
28. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?
A. It's OK if you smoke here? B. Let's smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can't smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
29. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase
A. think back to B. get used to
C. look forward to D. keep close to
30. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D. People should understand cultural differences.

七、阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）
阅读短文，根据要求完成文后的题目。
Are you learning a foreign language? Do you know what a successful language learner
should do? First of all, successful language learners are independent（独立的）learners. They do
not depend on books or teachers. They find out their own ways to learn the language. Instead of
waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find methods and rules for themselves. They also
look for clues（线索）and get their own ideas by guessing（猜测）. When they guess wrong, they
try again. It is more important for them to learn to think than to know the meaning of every word.
Successful language learning is active （积极的）learning, so successful learners do not wait
for a chance to use the language. They usually look for such a chance. They find native speakers
and ask them for help when they make mistakes. They will try everything to communicate. They
are not afraid to repeat（重复）what they hear or to say strange things.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose（目的）. They want to learn
the language because they are interested in native speakers' lives. It is necessary for them to learn
the language in order to communicate with foreigners and learn about their lives, their cultures and
so on.
1. What don't independent learners depend on? (no more than 8 words)

Recently, our school has been carrying on exploring study. Let me tell you how we have
changed in our study. The teachers used to tell us language points in class and we used to listen to
第19页

them and take notes when it is necessary. However, now our teachers raise questions and we
discuss with each other or we raise questions and answer them by ourselves after discussion. We
used to do a lot of homework after class. But now we have different kinds of after - school
activities, such as reading something we are interested in, reading in the library or looking for
information on the Internet and so on. In my opinion, I like this study way very much because it's
interesting.
