Beer is sold in pint or half-pint glasses (a pint is just over half a litre).When you order a drink, ask for a ‘pint’ or a ‘half’ of the beer you want to try.There is no waiter service in an English pub.You go to the bar and place your order to the pub staff. They will pour your drinks and pass them to you. They will then tell you how much to pay.You have to pay your drinks there and then. After receiving your change,you can carry your drinks back to a table to enjoy. It is usual for friends to take turns buying drinks for each other.This is known as’buying a round’.Pubs sell cheap food too.The choice of food ranges(涉及) from small bar snacks such as crisps and peanuts ,to three-course meals.A popular meal during the summer months is a ‘ploughman’s lunch ’.This is a dish of bread ,cheese or ham ,and salad which is served cold.You will often find a pub’s menu written on a blackboard .There may even be daily specials for you to try.You must be at least 18 years old to buy alcohol(含酒精的饮料)in England.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) (共12分)"Uncle Sam," is usually used to refer to the United States or the US government. It is the nickname of the country.It is hard to believe that this nickname became known quite by accident and there was a man 75 "Uncle Sam."However,not many people have ever heard of such a man.Not even most young Americans.The man was called Uncle Sam Wilson.He was born in Arlington,Massachusetts, September 13, 1776. At the age of 14 Sam joined the American Revolutionary War(美国革命）, and 76 in the army under George Washington until the end of the war.He then moved to Troy,New York states, and began a meatpacking business. He earned a reputation（赢得了声誉）for being honest and hardworking. He was locally respected and admired, thus greeted as Uncle Sam.One day in 1812,a group of visitors came to Sam's meatpacking plant(肉类加工厂）.Among them was Government official. He 77 the capitalized letters(大写字母）EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A worker man replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson,the businessman for whom Sam was working.And he added 78 that US(actually it was the short form for United States) stood for Uncle Sam Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all army supplies were from "Uncle Sam".In May 1813,this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York.Since Uncle Sam was an example of a hard-working man and a lover of America, the idea of"Uncle Sam" as the name of this kind of man became well-known rapidly.Uncle Sam was ready to help 79 and place the interest of the nation(国家利益）above all---this is in line with (与……符合）the American spirit. This makes the American consider Uncle Sam 80 the symbol of the USA.In1961 the US Congress made a decision that "Uncle Sam" is the America's national symbol.75.

Most of the energy we use for heating, lighting, transportation and manufacturing (制造业) comes from fossil (化石) fuels. These are carbon-based fuels from oil, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release heat which p__81___ the energy.There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the G__82___ Effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n__83___ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine (内燃机) that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on another fuel—hydrogen. There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two-thirds of the e__84___ surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly, it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating (分离) it from water c__85___, and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S__86___ these problems is an urgent (急迫的) matter. Although China, India and Au stralia have huge amounts of cheap coal, and there are still l__87___ oil and gas reserves(储藏量) elsewhere, the effects on the planet’s climate will be bad if they are used.D. Answer the questions.(12分)Uniforms, used for identifying people，are seen almost everywhere in the world.

But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340, 000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（气质）or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed（被解雇）or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect（影响）the levels of happiness.（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?A.Those who are worried about getting old.B.Those who are single and unemployed.C.Those who feel unhappy all the time.D.Those who suffer from mental stress.（2）When may people have the highest level of stress?A.At the age of 20.B.At the age of 25.C.At the age of 35.D.At the age of 40.（3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may .A.control their behaviors betterB.know how to spend money wiselyC.dream about good things every dayD.have a positive attitude towards their life（4）What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Younger, the HappierB.The Young Are Happier than the OldC.Getting Older Means Getting HappierD.Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：重点介绍的是老年人的幸福感问题，作者通过一个调查研究告诉我们随着年龄的增长，人们的幸福感会越来越强。
