Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries. "It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride, " said the woman. The British Geological Survey said the 4. 3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel. Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about l0 to l5 seconds. “I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me.”said Hendrick van Eck,27, of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London. “I then heard the sound of cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down.” There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4. 8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham. The country's strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931, measuring 6. l on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger 1 / 9 撷墨教育 墨盒自考 Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France. Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum. 1. During the April 28 earthquake, the whole England was left without power. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 2.

People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting, metropolitan atmosphere. Squares, plazas(广场)and arcades(拱廊）form the heart of Europe's cities. Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco—a beautiful square surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. London's Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians, acrobats(杂 技演员)and artists by night. The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive. In London, they serve as a beautiful backdrop（背景）to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames. These vibrant(有活力的)hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently.“The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don't see all the mistakes.”said Garreau.“Those have all been removed.” Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car. So bars, restaurants and cafes were near to people's homes. Today, the focus of many Europeans' life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention, there are still those who hold onto traditional ways, living and shopping locally. These people, together with tourists, provide the city centers with their reason for existence. Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espressos(浓咖啡)and cigarettes. Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People in Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets. Cafes and bars in the surrounding streets. An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo. The huge marble cathedral in Florence, Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops, and caters not only to the tourist crowds, but also the local community. 3 / 9 撷墨教育 墨盒自考 11.lt can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe A. has many large squares B. has many very magnificent sky-scrapers C. draws tourists in large numbers every year D. has a center where tourists meet their spouses 12.

A person who shows that he wants everything for himself is bound to be a lonely wolf. ②The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted that there always will be people around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point, however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them. ③Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don’t know them. When the game is over, you will all go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win. ④An experience of this kind gives the clue to what companionship really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection. Companions become friends when these ties are formed. ⑤When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances, you may not know with whom you will make friends, but you can be sure that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that you really like people.

However, one true loyal friend may be the only friend you need. A term used on the popular Facebook site is B.F.F. This acronym means best friends forever. Are they really your best friends forever? You might ask yourself this question, “Will they share my private matters with others on the pages of Facebook, or perish the thought, engage in gossip about me with other?” 27 Maybe not, even for a day. I choose to have a B.L.F., a best loyal friend, for those of you who may be challenged by the use of acronyms during this age of technology and fast-talking Loyalty found in a friend is akin to making a deposit in a bank account. 28 A loyal friend attracts another loyal friend. In essence, water does seek its own level. If you were a B.L.F. way before Facebook gained notoriety, then I'm sure you understand the premise of loyalty in a friend. 29 These are not the traits of a best loyal friend. A best loyal friend does not care who is invited to your party. 30 . A. Loyalty consists of a friend, who will stick by you , through thick and thin. B. More often than not, your deposits gain interest, an interest in your well- 6 / 9 撷墨教育 墨盒自考 being and welfare. C. They will attend your party and celebrate you,just in the way a best loyal friend should do. D. You should never exploit your B. L.F. to gain more friends or make yourself seem more important to others. E. However, this new trend may lead to disasters. F. If the answer to that is, “I don't know”, more than likely, they will not be your best friends forever. 第五部分:填词补文(第 31-40 题，每题 1.5 分，共 15 分) 下面的短文有 10 处空白，短文后列出 12 个词，其中 10 个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其 分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。 Talking to Kids about SARS School age children may be learning about SARS from adults and the media, but may not know what to make of the situation, says a national health charity. The Lung Association says parents should take time to talk to their 31 and explain the facts about SARS and how to avoid the illness. The following is based on recommendations 32 Thursday by the Lung Association: Ask your children if they have heard 33 SARS at school,from friends,from TV,etc. Finding out what they already know can be a good 34 to start the conversation and to clear away any wrong ideas they might have about the illness and how it is spread. School age children are usually old 35 to understand concepts such as getting sick from germs and how to avoid illness. A simple reminder 36 to cough on people and to wash their hands often may be sufficient for younger kids. All children should be shown how to 37 their hands properly. Remember to keep it simple so 38 not to overwhelm children with information, but answer them truthfully. Kids can tell when you're not being honest or if your're hiding something, and sometimes the unknown can be more frightening than the 39 . Parents with anxious children will know how thein kids will handle information on SARS and can tailor their discussion accordingly. One way to explain the illness is to tell children that SARS is like a bad breathing problem. It is 40 from a cold, but people can catch it in the same ways—such as coughing on someone, not washing your hands or sharing a glass with a sick person. 7 / 9 撷墨教育 墨盒自考 A. about B. different C. as D. way E. not F. truth G. children H. enough I. how J. wash K. pass L. released 第六部分:完形补文(第 41-50 题，每题 1.5 分，共 15 分) 下面的短文有 10 处空白，每处空白后的括号内有一个词，请根据短文内容将其正确的形式 填入文中，以恢复文章原貌。 Qualities of Friendship To have a friend, be a friend；be 41 （friend). A friend is like a ship that carries us, 42 (stand) by us unchangingly, through the calm and rough seas of life. Is there any 43 (pure) relationship than friendship? It is 44 (condition) loyalty and love. Friendship is a kind of 45 (accept) that allows us to be who we are, fully, without fear that love will be withdrawn. Over a lifetime, it is the bond of friendship that allows us to explore our 46 （deep) with supports. Sometimes, the friendship we give is not 47 (return), but we benefit in another way: the process of extending friendship expands our consciousness. While 48 (give) we feel a sense of connection. Once we experience the connection we feel while giving with care, we know that it is not just what we receive in life that makes us happy. It is mainly the connection that we feel when our own boundaries of self-centeredness break down through our lovingness, that we feel our internal sense of peace and happiness. Honesty is a quality that allows us to look in the mirror and see the 49 (reflect)of how we really are In honest we see clearly and can make adjustments. If we live each day in accordance with our con- science, our reflection in the mirror and how others see us will be well-balanced. Loyalty is a quality that develops our consciousness. Loyalty leads us deep into a situation, through it, 8 / 9 撷墨教育 墨盒自考 and out the other side-emerging as a more 50 (develop) person. It is essential in friendship. People become friends through mutuging as a more al loyalty. 第七部分:短文写作(第 51 题，30 分) 51. 1.你业余时间的娱乐活动有哪些； 2.描述其中一项活动。 注意: 词数不少于 120。 9 / 9
