Our town is in the eastern part of our country. Once a year we choose a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is. All the girls hope to be the winner in an effort to become popular.
It was not an easy choice this year, since there were eight girls to choose from. The elder judge (裁判员) finally decided that either Sara or May would win. Both girls were beautiful with perfect appearance. Besides, they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the earth. Most important, both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast. Eggs were important to people of the east of our town because our economy (经济) depended mainly on the production of eggs.
“Either girl will win,” my father said, “But someone will cry in the end.”
“Either will be fine,” I said, “They are both great girls.”
The final round was held at the east edge (边缘) of our town. Sara lived nearby so she did not need to get up early to arrive. However, she was the first person there. “You know what they say about the early bird,” she said with a big smile.
However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition. “It’s the taxi driver’s mistake,” she said, “I told him to head east, but he was in one ear and thought I said Bread Cheese. You know, Bread Cheese is the name of our neighboring town.”
I thought May would certainly lose because she was late, but to my surprise, she turned out to be this year’s winner. The judges liked her answer to their last question, “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be ” Sara had replied, “World peace.” May, on the other hand, said, “Better market to have our eggs sell well.”
( ) 34. Why was it difficult to make a choice this year
A. The girls just looked alike. B. People had to choose from eight girls.
C. All the girls wanted to get the position. D. The judges couldn’t agree with each other.
( ) 35. In the passage the underlined sentence “You know what they say about the early bird” means ________.
A. she liked the early bird very much
B. she was sure that she would succeed
C. she lived nearby, so she should get there early
D. she wanted to show off her good language knowledge
( ) 36. Why was May chosen in the end
A. Because she arrived late but gave a good explanation.
B. Because she gave a different answer from Sara’s.
C. Because she looked more beautiful and knowledgeable than Sara.
D. Because her answer was more connected with real situations than Sara’s.
( ) 37. According to the passage, which of the following maps is correct
[C]
In our daily life, direct questions are usually used to ask for information we do not know. Direct questions are either yes/no questions such as “Are you married ” or information questions such as “Where do you live ”.
It’s OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions, but they can seem abrupt at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask “What time is it ” or “Can you move ”, he/she may refuse to help you. It is certainly right to ask questions in this way, but it’s very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” to begin your questions. “Excuse me, when does the bus leave ” or “Pardon me, may I sit here ” sounds more polite.
It’s also possible to use “can” in more informal (非正式的) situations. In the past, “can” was not used when asking for something, but only to speak about abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes (出版) English teaching materials with the phrase (短语) “Can you lend me” “Can I have”, etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be not true, especially for written English, and “May I have” is better. Questions with “can” are made more polite by using “could”: “Pardon me, could you help me ”
“Would” can also be used to make questions more polite. “Would you let me borrow your pencil ” is also polite.
Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add “please” at the end of the questions. We can say “Could you help me, please ” “Please” should not appear at the beginning of the questions.
( ) 38. The underlined word “abrupt” means “__________” in Chinese.
A.唐突的 B.温和的 C.严肃的 D.礼貌的
( ) 39. According to the passage, the writer thinks _________.
A. we shouldn’t ask direct questions in daily life B. it’s OK to ask strangers direct questions
C. it’s not enough to just ask right questions D. we must know someone well before asking
( ) 40. From the third paragraph, we can know _________.
A. “can” was only used to ask for abilities before B. people in America like using “can” better
C. questions with “can” are more polite in written English
D. questions with “can” are also polite in informal situations
( ) 41. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. How to make direct questions more polite. B. How to use some phrases in a right way.
C. How to make questions in a right way. D. How to change the ways we speak.

These special new gloves are expensive, but they take the term “handsfree” to a new level. People can talk into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost 1000 pounds a pair.
They come with a speaker in the thumb (拇指) and a microphone built into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phone out of their pocket (口袋) or handbag.
Artist Sean Miles designed (设计) the great gloves. He puts gloves with parts from mobile handsets (电话听筒) recycled (回收的) through O2. Mr. Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves: one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition (展览会) this December and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If need is great, they will then be produced at a larger amount.
O2 Recycle, which backed Miles, says that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. Bill Eyers, head of O2 Recycle, asks people to recycle their phones responsibly.
Designer Sean Miles, the 41-year-old man behind the designs, said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets (小器具). If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than throw them away as trash, I think this project will have lived up to its aim (目标).”
Miles is now working on putting phones together with handbags. So people don’t spend time searching around in their bags to find a phone when it rings.
( ) 42. These new gloves are special because .
A. they can keep hands warm in winter B. they can make people free

( ) 44. How did O2 Recycle back Sean Miles’ project
A. It helped Sean Miles to have the new idea.
B. It provided recycled parts from mobile handsets for Sean Miles.
C. It had an exhibition to show the new gloves.
D. It asked people to sell old phones to Sean Miles.
( ) 45. Which of the following opinions will Sean Miles support (支持)
A. Gadgets should be thrown away.
B. It is impossible to put handbags together with phones.
