第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
My husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.
We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer, my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.
Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread (姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.
Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.
The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.

A. will look for a secret garden in the woods

40. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

About 18,000 refugees (难民) from Burma have e to the United States each year since 2007. Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned the language, their parents did not. That made munication with teachers arduous.
At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches English to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s mother, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.
Laurel Conran started classes at the pany to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. It’s once a week, on every Wednesday, from twelve to one o’clock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.
Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. They’re more municative. As parents, they are also more involved in their children’s school.”
Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Mr. Davis hopes the lessons will help these parents feel better about municating with the school. He said, “Even as simple as making a phone call to say that their son or daughter is sick, even if that’s the amount of English that they have got from the program, that truly will help us.”

The world has indeed bee smaller due to the Inter. A freelance (自由职业的) writer can easily get a job from the United States, the United Kingdom or even from Japan. He can travel the world in an hour just by surfing the various places in the world for his work using the Inter.
Looking at the job offers on the various freelance job boards can be tiring especially if you are a first timer.

Britain’s pub landlords (酒吧店主) are looking with a worried eye to the UK Chancellor’s budget for fear that the annual tax gathering round will strike another blow to a traditional industry already reeling (蹒跚). Thousands of pubs have closed since the financial crash in 2007.
The Plough, which was once a coaching house for travelers, has been serving Britain’s famous warm beer since the days of Shakespeare. Now it is under threat too. “Yeah. So many pubs have been closed over the last few years even in this area,” said Derek O’Neil, the manager of The Plough Pub.
Many reasons are the cause―a ban on smoking in public, severe laws against drinking and driving and high taxes have all bined to kill off nearly 10,000 pubs in the last seven years, aording to the British Beer and Pub Association. With the closures, pubs are being redeveloped. Many have turned into supermarkets, where the beer is sometimes cheaper.
Britain’s pubs continue to play an important part in the UK economy, selling thousands of different beers and employing more than a million people. The reality, though, is pubs are suffering something of a hangover (遗留物). In the last 15 years the amount of beer sold in pubs has fallen by eight million barrels to just under 36 million a year. Pub landlords want tax breaks (税务减免).
“People have less money in their pockets, so they can’t go out and spend it and habits are changing―so much alcohol is nowadays drunk at home,” said Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association. “Yeah, I miss the pubs where there’s a lot of character, especially 30 years ago. You know there was great fun in them.”
While pubs are still much loved, they’re discovering that love isn’t enough to survive 21st century economics.
51.Aording to the first paragraph, tax gathering round can 　　　.
A. greatly benefit Britain’s pubs
B. save Britain’s pubs in a way
C. encourage more people to go to Britain’s pubs
D. make the situation of Britain’s pubs even worse
52. What do we know about The Plough?
A. It has been closed.B. It is run quite well now.
C. It is a pub with a long history.
D. It doesn’t face the present threat.
53. Why are some pubs being redeveloped?
A. Because they want to sell cheaper bear.
B. Because their business is being better.
C. Because they want to receive more travelers.
D. Because they can’t continue in the present situation.
54. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. Pubs can’t offer many jobs to people.
B. The UK economy actually depends on pubs.
C. Pubs bee less important in the UK economy.
D. The closures of pubs will damage the UK economy.
55. What is the text mainly about?
A. The future of British pubs.
B. The development of British pubs.
C. The challenges British pubs face.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
How much information can people learn about you by seeing what you look for on the Inter? Too much, say some people with the Inter service from America Online. These people should know. AOL put the Inter search records of more than six hundred and fifty thousand people in a public area on part of its website.
The records included every search these users made between March and May of this year. The pany said the release was an aident. It said the records were meant for researchers. The purpose was to help them study how people use the Inter so search tools can be improved.
To protect privacy, AOL used numbers instead of names to identify the users. But people who saw the records quickly recognized that some users could be identified through the details of their searches.
The New York Times decided to prove it. The newspaper was able to identify one of the users as Thelma Arnold of Geia. The sixty-two-year-old woman was surprised to get a telephone call from the reporter who found her. But she agreed to a story about her searches. Many of them, for example, involved medical conditions. Someone might think she is very sick. In fact, in many cases, Thelma Arnold was searching for information to help friends.
Still, the records from AOL show that Inter searches can tell a lot about what people are thinking. That includes things they might never want others to know. The records could be highly useful to marketers. But some researchers say they will not use them because the information is too personal.
People became angry when they learned that 　　　　　　. AOL took the information off its website. The pany apologized and called the release a big mistake. Some people, however, had already copied the data before AOL removed it.
56. What is the best title of the text? (no more than 10 words)
57. Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words. (no more than 8 words)

58. What do you think of this incident caused by the AOL? (no more than 30 words)
