M：I can find only one physics lesson in the timetable. You have it on Monday afternoon. I
have it on that day, too. The other one is on Friday morning.

morning, because I have math lessons.
M：I don't like that subject because it is too boring to me.
(Text 10)
Do you dream of winning the lottery? Millions of people do. What happens if you win the lottery?
Let's look at three lottery winners. Lisa wanted to be an artist, but she didn't have enough money
to go to an art school. She was working at a job she didn't enjoy. On August 1st, Lisa bought
one ticket and won two million dollars. She quit her job three weeks later and now she is attending
an art school. Mark was a car salesman. He worked seven days a week and had little time for his
family. After he won the lottery, he quit working. Now he spends his time bowling, working in
the garden, and fixing things in his house. But he's bored. He doesn't want to sell cars again,
but he isn't sure what he wants to do with his life. Jack is one of the small number of winners
who did not quit his job. Jack still teaches at a school near his home. But now he and his wife
take their children on an interesting vacation every year. And they won't worry about the charge
for their children in colleges. They say that money brings security and gives opportunities, but
it doesn't bring happiness.
第二部分 阅读理解
(满分40分，限时35分钟)
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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Tired of eating at the same boring restaurants? Looking for a change? Here are some restaurants
that offer an original restaurant experience. See for yourself which ones you fancy.
An Exciting Dinner
Looking for something adventurous? The Archipelago in London is just the thing for you. One
of the most popular dishes in this restaurant is crocodile. Yes, you read it correctly, crocodile.
If that is not daring enough for you, there are plenty of other dishes on the menu.
A Restaurant with a View
Want to enjoy the sights while you're eating? Try the Top of the World Restaurant. At about
244 meters above Las Vegas, diners can enjoy a wonderful view of Las Vegas in this revolving (旋
转的) restaurant. However, the real adventure starts at the end of the meal. That's when the
customers are taken from their seats at ground level to the observation rooms in elevators that
travel at a remarkable speed.
A Theatrical Experience
Longing for having dinner when some drama is put on? Dine at Mime in Manchester. The service
is unique. Your waiter will communicate your order in mime (哑剧) and keep you entertained with
performances between courses.
An Unusual Setting
Don't care about presentation? You'll be fine at the Modern Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan. The
theme of this restaurant is the toilet, and you would be surprised how many people queue up for
the experience of eating on toilet seats.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了四家奇特的餐厅。
21．What would you expect at the Top of the World Restaurant?
A．A free ride.
B．An interesting menu.
C．A show during the meal.
D．A bird's eye view of Las Vegas.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据A Restaurant with a View中的“At about 244 meters above Las Vegas,
diners can enjoy a wonderful view of Las Vegas in this revolving (旋转的) restaurant”可知，
在Top of the World Restaurant，顾客们可以鸟瞰Las Vegas，欣赏Las Vegas漂亮的全景。故选D项。
22．Which restaurant requires customers to order in an unusual way?
A．The Archipelago.
B．Top of the World Restaurant.
C．Mime.
D．Modern Toilet Restaurant.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据A Theatrical Experience中的“Your waiter will communicate your
order in mime(哑剧)”可知，顾客与服务员交流菜单时要用哑语，这就是这个餐厅的特殊之处。故选C项。
23．Where is the passage likely to be taken from?
A．A research paper.
B．An entertainment magazine.
C．An exciting novel.
D．A fashion magazine.
解析：选B 文章出处题。根据对四个餐厅不同的奇特之处的介绍可推知，本篇文章有可能出自娱乐
杂志。故选B项。
B
When it comes to the British royal family (王室), one thing is almost always true: They have
a pretty puzzling set of official rules. For example, the royal family doesn't have a last name.
When attending formal daytime events, all women must wear hats. And don't forget the fact that
Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.
If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. According to British
custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a “princess”. Kate
is an example of the latter. She is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge because she married
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and
Prince Louis, also bear official royal titles.
However, while Prince George's and Prince Louis' future children will also carry their
father's royal status (身份), any children that Princess Charlotte has will not naturally be
considered princes or princesses. Why? According to royal custom, royal titles are passed down
through sons, but not daughters.
“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children, they
would not naturally inherit the titles HRH (his or her royal highness), Prince, or Princess，”
Lucy Hume, director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told
Town
&
Country
.
Of course, exceptions can and will be made. The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal
children in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although
Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, refused, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be
provided the_same_offer when her own children are born.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了英国王室有一些让人很难理解的规矩。
24．Why does the author give three examples in Paragraph 1?
A．To tell us the difference of the royal family.
B．To introduce the most important official rules.
C．To show some royal customs are difficult to understand.
D．To prove British royal family keeps its traditions very well.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“They have a pretty puzzling set of official rules.”
可知，作者举的三个例子是为了说明王室的一些规矩让人很难理解。
25．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．Kate got her title because of her sons.
B．Princess Charlotte's title comes from her father.
C．A prince's wife is called the Duchess of Cambridge.
D．Prince William got his title because of Princess Kate.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段的“ ... only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife
may be considered a ‘princess’”可以推知，Princess Charlotte的头衔来自她的父亲。根据第二段
的第二、三句可知，凯特因嫁给威廉王子而得到王室的地位，成为凯特王妃，故排除A和D。文中提及Duchess
of Cambridge只是说明了凯特的另一个身份，不能推出王子的妻子被称为Duchess of Cambridge，故排除
C。
26．What do Lucy Hume's words show?
A．A princess' son is also called a prince.
B．A prince's children are more important.
C．All of a prince's children can inherit titles.
D．Princess Charlotte's children are different.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons ... ”
可知，王子的所有孩子都能继承王室的头衔。
27．What does the underlined part “the same offer” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Being provided with HRH status.
B．Anne and her husband's decision.
C．Inheriting a royal title from a prince.
D．Anne's children having the same title as her.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据上文的“The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal children
in the past ...”可知，这里是说Princess Charlotte的孩子也有可能得到王室头衔。
C
It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries
(盗窃). Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye
on their neighbours' property (财产) while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help
of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes (项目) have been
set up in the UK.
The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in
any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop
anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the
police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the
group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger.
When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice
is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most
burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone's house if
they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also
know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted
good locks to their doors and windows.
Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there
is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people
to care for each other. New friendships are also being made.

When it comes to the British royal family (王室), one thing is almost always true: They have
a pretty puzzling set of official rules. For example, the royal family doesn't have a last name.
When attending formal daytime events, all women must wear hats. And don't forget the fact that
Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.
If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. According to British
custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a “princess”. Kate
is an example of the latter. She is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge because she married
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and
Prince Louis, also bear official royal titles.
However, while Prince George's and Prince Louis' future children will also carry their
father's royal status (身份), any children that Princess Charlotte has will not naturally be
considered princes or princesses. Why? According to royal custom, royal titles are passed down
through sons, but not daughters.
“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children, they
would not naturally inherit the titles HRH (his or her royal highness), Prince, or Princess，”
Lucy Hume, director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told
Town
&
Country
.
Of course, exceptions can and will be made. The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal
children in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although
Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, refused, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be
provided the_same_offer when her own children are born.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了英国王室有一些让人很难理解的规矩。
24．Why does the author give three examples in Paragraph 1?
A．To tell us the difference of the royal family.
B．To introduce the most important official rules.
C．To show some royal customs are difficult to understand.
D．To prove British royal family keeps its traditions very well.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“They have a pretty puzzling set of official rules.”
可知，作者举的三个例子是为了说明王室的一些规矩让人很难理解。
25．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．Kate got her title because of her sons.
B．Princess Charlotte's title comes from her father.
C．A prince's wife is called the Duchess of Cambridge.
D．Prince William got his title because of Princess Kate.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段的“ ... only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife
may be considered a ‘princess’”可以推知，Princess Charlotte的头衔来自她的父亲。根据第二段
的第二、三句可知，凯特因嫁给威廉王子而得到王室的地位，成为凯特王妃，故排除A和D。文中提及Duchess
of Cambridge只是说明了凯特的另一个身份，不能推出王子的妻子被称为Duchess of Cambridge，故排除
C。
26．What do Lucy Hume's words show?
A．A princess' son is also called a prince.
B．A prince's children are more important.
C．All of a prince's children can inherit titles.
D．Princess Charlotte's children are different.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Royal titles are inherited (继承) through sons ... ”
可知，王子的所有孩子都能继承王室的头衔。
27．What does the underlined part “the same offer” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Being provided with HRH status.
B．Anne and her husband's decision.
C．Inheriting a royal title from a prince.
D．Anne's children having the same title as her.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据上文的“The Queen has provided HRH status for other royal children
in the past ...”可知，这里是说Princess Charlotte的孩子也有可能得到王室头衔。

It all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries
(盗窃). Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye
on their neighbours' property (财产) while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help
of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes (项目) have been
set up in the UK.
The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in
any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop
anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully — it is the
police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the
group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger.
When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice
is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most
burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone's house if
they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also
know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted
good locks to their doors and windows.
Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there
is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people
to care for each other. New friendships are also being made.
