He held up a glass of water and asked the class, “How 15 do you think this glass of water is?”The students’ answers were quite 16 ─from 20g to 500g. “It doesn’t matter on the weight itself. It is decided by how long you 17 it. If I hold it for a minute, it is 18 . If I hold it for an hour, you will 19 to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it b ecomes.”“If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on 20 the burden is becoming much heavier.”“What you have to do is to put the glass 21 , rest for a while before holding it up again.”We have to put down the burden sometimes so that we can 22 and are able to carry on. So after you return from 23 tonight, put the burden of the work down. Don’t carry it back home.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient (古老的) times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal (皇室的) people or by those in high office.In Europe, The Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made in all kinds of colours.25. The first use of umbrellas was as __________.A. protection against rainB. protection against the sunC. a symbol of powerD. a symbol of honour26. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first invented __________.A. in ancient ChinaB. in ancient EgyptC. in ancient GreeceD. in ancient Rome27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The umbrella didn’t change much in style in the 18th century.B. No one really knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.C. Once not everyone was allowed to use umbrellas.D. women’s umbrellas were ma de in all kinds of colours in the beginning.BIn Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting som eone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it isnot necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate (合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your thanks for the invitation.28. What does the underlined word “RSVP” probably mean in Chinese?A. 请自便B. 请回复C. 请审阅D. 请来访29. What should you do if your British friend sends you an invitation but you do not want to go?A. Do not give him or her an answer.B. Tell another friend to go instead of you.C. Tell him or her that you can’t be there for some reason.D. Tell him or her that you don’t want to go there.30. Which of the following is considered impolite in Britain?A. Buy small presents when invited.B. Refuse the invitation without telling anyone.C. Write a thank-you note after a visit.D. Give a telephone call after a visit.COnce I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubted whether there was any love between my parents. Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人节).One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.31. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?A. There is beautiful scenery where the writer lived.B. There is true love anywhere in the world.C. There is no love without beautiful flowers.D. There is true love between the writer’s parents.32. Why didn’t the writer’s mother a nswer his question immediately?A. Because her husband didn’t love her.B. Because she was thinking of a better answer.C. Because she didn’t love her husband.D. Because the writer had hurt her feelings.33. What is the best title of this passage?A. Love Is EverywhereB. Love Is Always RomanticC. Love: Thread in QuiltD. Love Can Last ForeverDThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and get a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.Fred, an active young man, knew l ittle German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. Schools were completely different from what he had expected ─ much harder. Students rose politely 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.Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family. 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 (批评) 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.34. The world exchange programme is mainly to __________.A. help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teenagers learn new languages35. Fred and Mike agreed that __________.A. American food tastes better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America36. In American schools __________.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 spend long hours studying37. 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 schools was more helpful to students第二卷(主观题共40分)四、词汇运用(本大题共8分,每小题1分)(A) 根据句意,写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient (古老的) times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal (皇室的) people or by those in high office.In Europe, The Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the firstpeople in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It was n’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made in all kinds of colours.25.

BIn Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate (合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your thanks for the invitation.28.

Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flower s to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人节).One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.31. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?A. There is beautiful scenery where the writer lived.B. There is true love anywhere in the world.C. There is no love without beautiful flowers.D. There is true love between the writer’s parents.32. Why didn’t the writer’s mother answer his ques tion immediately?A. Because her husband didn’t love her.B. Because she was thinking of a better answer.C. Because she didn’t love her husband.D. Because the writer had hurt her feelings.33. What is the best title of this passage?A. Love Is EverywhereB. Love Is Always RomanticC. Love: Thread in QuiltD. Love Can Last ForeverDThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and get a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.Fred, an active young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. Schools were completely different from what he had expected ─ much harder. Students rose politely 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.Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family. 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(批评) American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germanywe do not hing 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.34.
