When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their 33 often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic.Those of us 34 do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is 35 we are not really interested in food. We eat to live. We do not live to eat. So we dont generally spend the necessary time and effort 36 (need) to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook or ready food which only needs heating up 37 eating.You can find the best English food in the country far 38 from the large towns, where life is slower and people are not in such 39 hurry. But of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come 40 (介詞) the food, so why should they complain about it? 第三部分：閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）第一節(jié)：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。ADespite the cold morning wind in Montreal last weekend, Ahmad AI-Bahely was busy handing out candies. He was overjoyed at hearing that Saddam Hussein had been sentenced to death.Thats how we celebrate in Iraq, said the 15-year-old high school student. AI-Bahelys family was forced to leave Iraq in 1991 after the first Gulf War (海灣戰(zhàn)爭). They fled life under Saddam Hussein for a new beginning in Canada. We are proud that this terrible man will get what he deserves.”An Iraqi court has sentenced Saddam, 69, to death after a 13-month trial. He was found responsible for the killings of 148 people in a village, north of Baghdad in 1982. The murders were carried out in revenge for an attempt on Saddams life.Thousands of Iraqis oppressed (被壓迫的) during Saddams 24-year rule took to the streets to celebrate. Meanwhile, groups near Saddams hometown of Tikrit gathered to support the former president. Well avenge you, Saddam, the crowd shouted.But many simply remained calm. Whether Saddam lives or dies is not important to me. said Imad Mohammed, a computer engineer. Im not even sure whether my family and I will live or die.Iraqis were not the only ones to have different views on the courts decision. The international community was also divided over the sentence.US President George W. Bush called the trial a milestone in the Iraqi peoples efforts to replace a tyrant (暴君) with the rule of law. But many European countries said Saddam should not be put to death. The Catholic Church called the sentence eye for an eye revenge.Islamic leaders warned that hanging Saddam could lead to revenge by Saddams supporters, deepening the rift (不和) in the war-torn country. According to new research by a leading US university, over 650,000 Iraqis have been killed since the 2003 Iraq War began.They blame Saddam for killing people. But who will judge the leaders for the killings that happen every day now? said 30-year-old Bahjat. He refused to give his full name out of fear.The sentence is just an important settlement with the past, but the big challenge for Iraqs people is the future. Big compromises are required for lasting freedom and secured peace, said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt.41. From the story, we can conclude that the death sentence given to Saddam is _.A. to cause controversy among people around the worldB. good news for the world peaceC. bad for Iraq because it will cause more fightingD. what Iraqis have expected for a long time42. What can we learn from what Abroad AI-Bahely said?A. Many people in Iraq hated Saddam.B. He sells candies as his part time job.C. Only students in Iraq hated Saddam.D. Some people felt sorry for Saddam.43. Which of the following statements about Saddam Hussein is WRONG?A. He is 69 years old.B. He killed over 650,000 Iraqis.C. He ruled Iraq for 24 years.D. He will probably be hanged.44. According to what Imad Mohammed and Bahjat said, we know that _.A. they care more about their present and future livesB. Iraqis dont value their lives very muchC. some Iraqis dont care about the future of their countryD. Iraqis are opposed to the death penalty45. The passage is mainly about _.A. how people reacted to Saddams death sentenceB. why Saddam was sentenced to deathC. what kind of life Iraqis are living nowD. what effect the death of Saddam will haveBThis year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers (young people aged from13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交換)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活動).Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(個人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. I suppose I should criticize(批評)American schools, he says. It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. 46. This year _ teen-agers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.A. twenty three hundred B. thirteen hundredC. over three thousand D. less than two thousand47. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages48.

What is particular in American schools is that _ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car50. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to studentsC The Cave of Lascaux It was Thursday, September 12, 1940. Four French teens were out exploring in the woods off the northern slopes of the Pyrenees. Many years before, an old pine tree fell and left a large hole in the ground. The teenagers were curious and they started to explore the area and fell into one of the most important archeological（考古的） finds of the twentieth century! There are over a hundred limestone（灰?guī)r）caves in this region of France. Some were inhabited by humans thousands and thousands of years ago. Between 15,000-17,000 years ago, humans painted lively creatures such as cows, bulls, horses, and even cats on the walls of the cave. Why did they mark these walls? Was it to tell a story? Was it to record a famous battle? There are many mysteries and ancient secrets still waiting to be discovered in the cave of Lascaux. There were dots in many of the paintings. What do these dots mean? Were they meant to record time, a calendar? Deep in the cave, there is a drawing of a birdman. What does this mean? Was it a place for sacred ceremonies? No one knows for sure. The actual cave of Lascaux was closed in 1963 due to the over-abundance of tourists visiting the site. The carbon dioxide that people were breathing out was causing damage to the fragile(易損的) cave paintings. Up till now the Lascaux cave is still closed for tourists. Only a specialist can visit the cave by a special order that must be made out almost a year in advance. Not more than six persons can enter the cave per day. Two days a week, the cave is completely closed. Due to the great interest of numerous tourists, in 1983 Lascaux II was opened for tourism. It is an exact replica of the cave of Lascaux,51.

A. tourists were destroying the cave paintings B. there were too many tourists visiting the cave C. tourists were taking photos and causing damage to the paintings D. it was very difficult for people to breathe in the cave55. Nowadays not more than _ experts can visit the cave each week.
