试题分析：本文讲述了盐在古代的用途，以及在古代如果偷盐会受到怎样的惩罚，并且在古代通过盐也能看出尊卑来。
小题1:根据题干，本句的意思“我们不知道人类什么时候开始用盐”，“什么时候”是when。所以本题选A。
小题2:throughout是“贯穿”，though和although是“尽管”，thought是“思想”，根据题意，本句的意思是“但是我们知道在整个历史中盐有许多不同的用途。”所以本题选A。
小题3:根据题干，此处应该是“据记载”的意思，而“据记载”是It’s recorded。所以本题选C。
小题4:根据three thousands years ago可知，本句应是过去时，故用ate。所以本题选B。
小题5:根据题干，本句的意思是“盐被用来保存尸体。”“被用来做某事”是be used to do。所以本题选B。
小题6:keep……from是“阻止某人或某物做某事”，是固定用法。所以本题选B。
小题7:根据前面的was可知，后面应该用过去分词表示被动语态，只有thought。所以本题选D。
小题8:通过阅读下文可知，此处应该是违反法律。故用law。所以本题选A。
小题9:根据if a person was caught stealing salt可知，对待罪犯的方式是将他投入监狱。故用prison。所以本题选C。
小题10:根据题干，本句的意思是“一万多人因为偷盐被投入监狱。”“因为”是because或because of；根据stealing salt可知，应该用because of。所以本题选B。
小题11:根据题干，应该是带更多的盐会被惩罚。故用more。所以本题选A。
小题12:根据题干，本句的意思是“将被严重惩罚”，本空是修饰“惩罚”一词，故用副词。所以本题选D。
小题13:本句的意思是“过去盐在国王的餐桌上是很重要的。”故用important。所以本题选A。
小题14:根据题干，“它总是被放在国王的前面”。In the front of是在物体本身上的前部，in front of是“在物体前面”不附属在物体上，而before一般表示时间之前。故用in front of。所以本题选C。
小题15:根据前句important visitors sat near the salt和后句less important visitors可知，两者之间是转折的关系，故用while“而，却”。所以本题选D。
点评：阅读本文时，首先应该明白盐的重要性，才会理解为什么在古代对盐会有这样的规定。在完成本题是，应充分阅读文章，充分体会作者的意图。要结合生活中的常识，进行选词，并且应该注意区分一些词的用法和英语中的固定搭配等。

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You May think,“He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite football player.
We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one sentence,“It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

A．only one meaning	B．no meaning

根据短文内容，完成文后任务。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.
The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
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 the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Title: Relationship Between Age and 【小题1】

The elements of the survey	Time: 2008 Place: in the United States Researcher: Arthur Stone and his 【小题2】 Targets: 340,000 adults
The 【小题3】of the survey	Generally people become happier and feel小题1:worried after age 50. By the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18. Adults between the ages of 22 and 25 have the 【小题5】stress. The kids and those in their early 【小题6】feel the happiest. Men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women feel sadder, more 【小题7】and worried than men do.
Conclusion	Happiness 【小题8】with age. That’s because people become more thankful for what they have and control their emotions 【小题9】as they get older. It also 小题2:them less time to think about bad experiences.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”
小题1:This story happened in _______.

A．England

Dear Dad,
I am writing this letter to you because it’s too difficult to talk about it. I can’t stop           about my uncle and how he died. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up      information about smoking and I’ve found out some disturbing(令人不安的) things.
You already know that smoking is bad for your breathing and can cause cancer. I’ve found out      it causes many other illnesses as well. Did you know that over 100,000 people die from smoking every year in Britain? It’s the second        cause of death in the world. I don’t want you to be one of these people.
When Mum       you to smoke outside, you think she’s just being difficult. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the smell of smoke in the house and on our clothes. It’s not very pleasant. However, when you smoke, it’s also bad for me and Mum. In other words, when we breathe in your smoke, it’s like we are smoke       . As a result, we can get diseases as well. Doctors are finding that more and more non-smokers are falling ill because of the effects of other people’s smoking.
I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking     you mustn’t give in(屈服) to it. Please see the doctor and ask him for help. We will do anything we can     you. You must try to save your own       . You are important to us and we don’t want to lose you. Who else can I ask to help me      my maths homework or fix my bike? Please don’t smoke!
Your loving daughter,
Kate
