I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking
at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,”she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
(
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

Computer programmer David Jones earned ￡35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
He works for a small firm in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards(信用卡).

“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.

Good evening. Tonight’s broadcast brings together music from different corners of the world. The records we have chosen for you are from classical(古典的)Western music, Indian music, pop and a Negro spiritual. In this broadcast we shall study the language of music. We shall try to find out how music says what people feel. You will hear a Beethoven piece, a composition(乐曲) for the sitar(锡塔琴), and songs sung by a pop group and some black Americans. It will be natural if you like one more than the others. I shall be trying to explain why they are all good music.
The feeling in each of these 4 musical compositions is sadness. You can find sadness in words, in paintings, and in music. The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”. The muses were goddesses(女神)of the arts. It is like the spoken language, but uses sounds differently. In the spiritual and the pop song you will hear voices. The words are part of the musical composition. In the other pieces you will hear only the piano or the sitar.
I will comment(评论)after each record is played. Music is now heard everywhere, in shops and buses and at home. We shall be trying to find out more about how music works. It is worth making the effort. Only then can we say why one piece of music is good and another bad.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.
The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’s branches were drying up.
Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette(小胡瓜), understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow. He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
They should really learn how to live in harmony(和谐)with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, and help each other instead of fighting, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.

阅读下面的短文, 请根据短文后面的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
[1]The following is a teenager’s problem and the help he gets from an expert.
[2]Problem：My parents drive me crazy! They don’t “get”me. It’s
a like we’re opposites. I try to talk to them, but they don’t want to hear it. If something bad happened to me, I bet they wouldn’t care. All I wantis for them to understand me and be there for me, but they always want tomake decisions for me without talking about it first. It’s so discouraging!
[3]Advice：It’s normal as a teen to feel like you have nothing in common with your parents, like they’re trying to lead you in a direction that you don’t want to go.
But about it You can’t change the way they feel, and you certainly don’t want to change your own personality. You’ll eventually get to a point where you and your parents can coexist with love
and understanding, but probably not till you’re older. Until then, here’s the best you can do:
[4] First, learn to share your differences of opinion in a mature, respectful way.
[5]Second, pick your battles. Not everything needs to turn into an argument. In fact, you’ll be a lot happier in the long ran if you cool off and walk away.
<
[6]Third, remember that even though you have your differences, your parents still love you and would be extremely sad if anything bad happened to you. Seriously. You can act like that isn’t true, but deep down, I think you know it is.
[7]Fourth, whenever your parents are stressing you out, keep in mind that in a couple of years this will all fade away(淡化)and you’ll be able to make decisions for yourself. You’ll not be trapped in this forever. Be patient.
56. What does the teenager wish his parents would do when try to make decisions for him(no more than 6 words)
57. Fill in the blank in paragraph 3 with proper words(no more than 5 words)

Ⅰ. 单项选择
1. B 【解析】考查冠词。句意为：在那些艰难的时期,能够买得起一杯酒会是一件欣慰的事。drink此处是可数名词，意为“(饮料，尤指酒的)一杯”，a drink 是泛指，而不是特指，不能用the；a comfort此处是抽象名词具体化的用法，指一件具体的令人欣慰的事情。根据以上分析可知选B。

8. C 【解析】句意：这些经理们讨论了他们很愿意看到来年能执行的计划。根据句子结构，the plan作先行词，that从句是定语从句，此处还考查了see sth. done结构，过去分词短语carried out在句中作宾语补足语。

Ⅱ. 完形填空
【文章大意】手机给人们带来了沟通上的方便。可是对于学生而言，把手机拿到课堂上发信息和打电话会严重影响学习和课堂秩序。作者以一位教师的身份阐释了手机给学生们带来的巨大魅力和学习上的影响。
16. A 解析：根据文章首句可知，手机随处可见，对人们的影响是巨大的，本题中的survive意为“存活，幸免于难”，与语境相符。
-
17. C 解析：stay connected with sb. “与某人保持联系”。friendly“友好的”；close“亲近的”；natural“自然的”。
18. B 解析：前句说到手机是人们的交流工具，后一句就提出了它的劣势，因此根据该空的逻辑关系可以判断出前后句间为转折关系。However“然而”，与语境相符。
19. A 解析：根据句意和常识理解，手机虽然是人们必不可少的交流手段，但是某些时候手机也应该限制使用的。certain times“某些时候”。该空所在的这句话用于引出下文。
20. D 解析：根据第二段中的“at school，in class”等可以判断作者要引出的话题是手机在校园中被使用的某些情况。
21. C 解析：There is no reason why…意为“做某事没有原因”。
22. B 解析：根据下一句话“If you are in class，you should not be 23 your friends text messages or taking phone calls. ”可知，学生在学校就该学习，作者用反问的方式进行了语气上的强调，句意为：“难道你在学校不是为了学习吗”
23. A解析：作为学生，课堂上发送信息是不应该的。send text messages“发信息”。posting“邮寄”；writing“写”；retaining“保持”。
24. C 解析：句意“在美国，学生是不允许在课堂上使用手机的。”根据下文提示可知，这为一项规定，be allowed to do sth.“被允许做某事”。
；
25. D 解析：上文中提到美国学生不许将手机带入课堂，而且该空与send相对应，故填receive，意为“接收短信”。
26. D 解析：turn off“关闭”；turn on “打开”；根据下文的“It is very disturbing to hear a lot of tones and 27 during class. ”可知，只有关掉手机才不会打扰别人。
27. A 解析：通过上下文可知，在课堂上把手机关掉才听不到令人厌烦的声音和铃声。ringing在此处为名词性质，即“铃声”。
28. B 解析：根据常识可知，作者作为一名教师，肯定会处理学生每天使用手机的情况。consider“考虑，认为”，用在该空不符合句意。use mobile phones“使用手机”。
29. C 解析：根据上文可知教师让孩子们关掉手机，可是在下文中提到了很多学生根本不听。这就说明上下文间为转折关系，故用but。
30. B 解析：通过本段中所讲内容可以推断出，孩子们更热衷于用手机取得联系或是被联系，因此作者认为对孩子们来说“用手机随时联系的欲望比上课的欲望更强烈。”其余几项均与语境不符。
31. C 解析：根据上下文的行文逻辑判断，作者再次利用反问的形式进行了语气上的强调以表明自己的态度。句意为：“似乎在课堂上发条短信是很简单的事情，不会伤害别人，是吗”
32. A 解析：根据下句中的“…be hurting yourself when…”可知。
(
33. D 解析：该句意为：“当你真地在课堂上发信息的话，这一行为会害了自己，因为它会将你的注意力从课堂上带走。”take“带走，拿走”与语境相符。
34. C 解析：come on“加油，过来”；go on“进行，进展”；go through“通过”；come by“经过”。由语境知选C项。
35. B 解析：联系上文可知，如果学生在课堂上将注意力集中于玩手机上，就会错过课堂上一些重要的知识，并不是全部知识。
Ⅲ. 阅读理解
A

36. C 解析：细节理解题。文章的第1句就告诉我们，当作者还是个小孩时（刚有书桌高），就喜欢她妈妈的desk。
]
37. A 解析：细节理解题。在文章的三、四自然段中，从作者的字里行间我们可知：她妈妈外表冷淡，内心却充满了对女儿的爱。
38. B 解析：词义猜测题。妈妈的爱只表现在行动上，而作者则想要heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter，所以她们之间就产生了gulf(隔阂)。由此可知gulf在这里是指妈妈和女儿之间的不同的想法。故选B。
39. D 解析：细节理解题。从文章倒数第2段最后一句话… a one-page letter，folded and refolded many times 可知，妈妈把作者的信读了一遍又一遍。
40. C 解析：主旨大意题。这个故事是以妈妈的书桌为线索引出妈妈对作者那种深沉的爱，所以选C项最佳。

Well, how’s everything going It is reported that the weather there is very hot and dry these days, which is very different from that of your country. Have you adapted to it In addition, you once complained that the food served there was not to your taste. I hope that should have been improved.
I am glad to tell you that I will go to Beijing to take part in an English speech contest in July, which is not only an honor, but also a great opportunity for me to improve myself. And now I try my best to make preparations for it. However, I have some trouble in collecting the materials relevant and using the language. I will appreciate it if you give me a hand to solve the problems.
After the contest, I am to drop in at your school to visit you. Please wait for my phone.
