I was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine．My 11-year-old daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother in making a little cushion．I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television．Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used．It had been purchased to make a color-coordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now had chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric (织物)．Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done．
My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face．She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologize for the mistake she had made．
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a
beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words “I LOVE MOM”．Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric．
To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions．It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions．I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child’s love．

If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person’s personality．
The study, led by Gary W．Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers．In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated (评分) them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities．
After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual’s becoming a friend and a dating partner．Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive (认知的) processes modify (修改) judgments of attractiveness．
“Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind,”said Lewandowski．
The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive．The findings remained consistent regardless of how “attractive”the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants’current
relationship status．
“This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people’s impressions of how good looking you are,”said Lewandowski．
60．What did participants do in the study?
A．They exhibited negative characters such as unfairness and rudeness．
B．They rated people’s attractiveness through photographs before and after knowing their personalities．
C．They tried to make friends with each other．
D．They tried to prove that positive characters make people more attractive．61．What’s the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?
a．find a person having a positive personality
b．view him / her more physically attractive
c．want to make friends with him / her
d．want to be his / her romantic partner
A．a →b →c →d B．a →c →d →b
C．a →c →b →d D．a →d →c →d
62．Which of the following is WRONG?
A．Personality can change people’s impressions of how good-looking you are．
B．Positive personality may lead to more friends．
C．The judgment of attractiveness remains unchanged after two people have become close friends．
D．According to Lewandowski, the research reminds people to pay more attention to their personality．
63．The passage is written in a(n) tone．
A．subjective B．humorous C．doubtful D．objective
C
Jenny Bowen, an American living in Beijing, has been selected as the only American to carry the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil．She and seven other non-Chinese winners were chosen from a pool of 262 applicants (申请者) from 47 countries in a contest organized by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group and the official English-language newspaper, China Daily．When Bowen runs with the Olympic torch, she will not only be representing the United States, but also be representing thousands of Chinese orphans (孤儿)．
Bowen, a mother of two adopted Chinese daughters, is the executive director of Half the Sky Foundation, an organization which was founded in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives and improve the prospects for orphaned children in China．In nearly 10 years, Bowen and Half the Sky have touched the lives of over 13,000 children．Half the Sky is now present in 36 welfare (福利) institutions in 28 Chinese cities．About 4,000 children are active in the program, which provides trained staff, educational tools, medical support and nurturing love for orphans．
Bowen hopes that running with the Olympic torch would help draw attention to the children in China．She will be among 19,400 runners who will carry the flame along an
85,000-mile, 130-day route across five continents．Beijing organizers say it will be the longest torch relay in Olympic history．
Like Bowen, the seven other non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a
Venezuelan graphic designer, live in China．Other countries represented will be the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and Russia．
According to Olympic organizers, candidates (候选人) were selected based on an online vote, committee selection, their “love of Chinese culture and history”and devotion to “communicating information of a real China to their native countries”．Each runner will carry the torch for 200 meters on Chinese soil．

Several European countries rang in the New Year in new ways．
The smoke-filled cafe became a thing of memory in France．Cigarettes were forbidden in all indoor locations such as dance clubs, restaurants, hotels, casinos (赌场) and cafés from Jan．1, 2008．President Nicolas Sarkozy gave the first traditional New Year’s greeting of his presidency, with a “message of hope, faith in life and in the future”．
In Russia, Vladimir Putin delivered the last New Year’s Eve address of his eight-year presidency, boasting of (夸耀) economic improvements and claiming to have restored a sense of unity among Russians, who are likely to see him stay in power as Prime Minister after he steps down in a few months．In Moscow, thousands gathered in Red Square, watching a concert beneath the onion domes (圆顶) of St Basil’s Cathedral, and fireworks above．
Along with the innovations, old traditions were maintained．
More than a million people in New York’s Times Square cheered at the 100th drop of a giant ball．A century ago the tradition began with a 700-pound ball of wood and iron, lit with 100
25-watt bulbs．This year’s event featured an energy-efficient ball clothed in Waterford crystals (水晶), with 9,576 light-shining diodes (二极管) that generated a lot of colors．
In London, people gathered in Trafalgar Square and along the banks of the River Thames to watch a firework display and hear Big Ben welcome the New Year with 12 resounding bongs．In Sydney —one of the first cities to celebrate the New Year —one million people cheered as fireworks were launched from the Harbor Bridge on New Year’s Eve．

Rats may be frightening and dirty animals to most people, but these small animals change with their environment surprisingly well．This means that rats can live almost anywhere on earth．
A rat can easily go through a three-centimeter hole．They can climb up almost any wall．They can dig through the earth andm almost two kilometers．
Rats have been known to live for three daysmming in water, and they can fall more than 15 meters without getting hurt．They can also jump as high as one meter．
For food, rats in the city eat mostly garbage．However, in the country, a rat can make 1,5000 more rats in one year through its babies and its babies’ babies! That is one reason why it is difficult to
wipe out all of the rats in one place．Any poison that may kill rats at first will not kill the rats born later．In fact, nature will make the new rats able to live even if they eat the poison．

Dear Editor,
In January 2008, many parts in the south of China experienced the worst snowstorms．The disaster greatly affected the lives of people．Many vehicles were trapped on the road, many flights were cancelled, and many trains were delayed．Worse still, some areas suffered power failures．However, in the face of this disaster, people united to fight against the heavy snowstorms, making every effort to rescue the people trapped in the snowstorms and to ensure that everything would return to normal as soon as possible．
During these days, we can feel from TV and newspaper reports, and from people’s reactions that love exists everywhere．
Sincerely yours,

21．A。tip为可数名词，15-percent作定语修饰tip，第一空填a，表示”一份15%的小费”；most表示“大多数”的意思时不用冠词。
22．C。when 在此引导非限制性定语从句，等于during which, 在从句中作时间状语。23．C。There is no point in doing sth为固定句型，意为：做……是没有意义的，没有用的。24．D。根据语境，第一人对其母亲表示关心，第二人应表示感谢。
25．B。分词短语在句中作时间状语。由于she是stand动作的执行者，所以要用现在分词。27．C。根据后面的there is no rush可知应选take your time，其意为to do something slowly or carefully without hurrying。
28．A。逗号之前是一个让步状语从句，正常语序时应该是Though / Although red was unpopular in the past。可以把作表语的unpopular 放在句首，在表语和主语之间加as。本句意思为：虽然过去人们不喜欢红色（的头发），眼下红色却是备受青睐的头发颜色。29．C。escape后跟动名词作宾语；由于主语the little boy是burn动作的承受者，所以要用动名词的被动式。
31．A。第一个人在“刚才”问时就已经知道了，所以第二个人用一般过去时问第一个人“你是怎么（在我承认我是第一次来之前）知道的？”
32．A。available在该句意为not too busy to do sth, 是正确选项。B表示“有能力的”；C表示
“可接受的”；D表示“平易近人的”。
33．C。根据后面的“I don’t care”，可知格林先生认为任何一个计划都是可以的。
34．B。So what? 意为“那又怎么样呢？”，用来表示说话人对某事不在意，认为其不重要；符合语境。
35．B。is后为that引导的表语从句；在表语从句中，包含有由what引导的主语从句what they do，what在主语从句中作do的宾语。
36．A。夏季经常发生森林大火，故每年的大火使许多森林严重受损。damage损坏，毁坏；动作的承受者多为物，injure使人受伤；wound 尤指用刀、枪等伤害某人；hurt伤人的身体或感情。
37．C。这里需要一个表示“继续，持续”且相当于不及物动词的词组，只有go on 符合。38．A。大火应该产生热。B表示“能量”；C表示“发烧”；D表示“烧伤”，均不符合句意。39．D。根据语境，这里应是等Lulu回屋。
40．C。根据上文可知我没有抱任何指望Lulu能够重新回来。故此句意思为：其实，我在等待着消防人员来告知我Lulu的死讯。
41．B。能够用于“v．+ sb + that从句”结构的只有A、B项；A项不符合语境。
42．C。根据后文，Lulu成功救出了4只小猫。
43．A。safe安全的；cool凉爽的；lonely寂寞的；beautiful漂亮的。根据语境这里应选safe。44．B。pick out挑出；pick up接；bring on 引起；bring up抚养。根据上下文“我”同消防人员一起去接那四只被Lulu救了的小猫。
45．A。表示“现场”的只有A项。
46．D。根据下文“Then the sound of a dog came from the forest”，可知我们到达事故现场时Lulu并不在那里。
47．D。根据后面的barking，这里应填表示“声音”的词。A表示“说话声，嗓音”，多用于人的声音；B表示“噪音”，与语境不符；C表示“口音”。
48．B。这里的意思是：我听出了是我的狗在叫。acknowledge 承认；recognize分辨出，认出，（此处为听出）；hear听见；listen听,不及物。
49．C。大声地叫，应用loudly。
50．A。根据句意，该消防员身受重伤，只能是被动地等待别人来救援。
51．D。根据语境和搭配应选proud, be proud of表示“对……感到自豪”。
52．B。表示具体的行为用action。
53．B。这里是表示“像他这样的动物”。
54．D。根据上下文及逻辑可知消防人员应在灭火。put off推迟；put away把……收起来；put up举起，张贴；put out扑灭。
55．C。该空前的loving表示“有爱心的”，后面的compassionate表示“有同情心的”，这里应填与其并列的caring“关心他人的”。
56．D。从上文My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face．可以看出女儿局促不安地听着，没有打算为自己辩护，因此她只会默默地回到自己房间去。
57．D。两个小孩将作者原本用来做婴儿毯的材料做成了*垫，并在上面写了“I LOVE MOM”。小孩道歉的话是写在另一张纸条上的。
58．D。根据最后一段，作者在现在想起时仍然会噙着泪水，可知她对自己当时的行为感到后悔；A、B、C都不能从文章的内容推出。
59．C。主旨大意题。本文主要通过一个感人的故事向我们讲述了孩子对母亲的爱。A项虽与文章内容有关，但并非全文主旨。
60．B。该题题干问的是参与实验的人在实验中具体做了什么，A、C明显是错误的；D项是实验的结果，而非过程；根据第二段内容，B项正确。
61．B。文章第五段第一句话提到了人们判断改变的过程，正确答案为B。
62．C。根据第五段C的表述是错误的；根据“If you exhibit positive characters such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person …”，A的表述正确；根据“T he findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation as a
friend …”，B表述正确；根据最后一段D表述正确。
63．D。文章主要讲的是一个人的性格会影响别人对他或她的外表吸引力的看法。作者是以客观的态度来报道该实验及其结果的。
64．D。根据文章最后一段，火炬手选拔的标准之一为“love of Chinese culture and history”，由此可推断Jenny Bowen是热爱中国文化和历史的；A项文章并未提到；B、C项与文章内容不符。
65．D。根据第三段“Bowen hopes that running with the Olympic torch will help draw attention to the children in China．”可得出答案。
66．C。第三段提到“it will be the longest torch relay in Olympic history．”，但文章并未提到是runners最多的；根据“in a contest organized by … Lenovo Group and … China Daily．”A的表述是正确的；根据倒数第二段，B表述正确；根据最后一段，D表述正确。
67．A。主旨大意题。文章主要讲的是生活在北京的Bowen将成为2008年为北京奥运会传递火炬的唯一一位美国人。
68．C。文章首先概述事件本身，接着分析背景，然后顺带提到其它相关信息，根据其结构，应为新闻报道。
69．B。文章中一共提到了五个国家。分别是：法国、俄罗斯、美国、英国和澳大利亚。70．B。猜测词义题。根据上下文可知此句的意思为：除了这些新鲜的庆祝方式外，一些旧传统也被沿袭。也可根据文章第二段“Several European countries rang in the new year in new ways．”推知。
71．C。根据文章可知法国实行禁烟从今年1月1日起，故A错误；colorful crystal balls是美国时代广场的节目，故B错误；根据倒数第二段内容，C正确；D项文章未提到。72．C。文章第二段提到法国在室内禁烟，并不能推出它会全面禁烟的信息，A错误；“Valdimir Putin will stay in power as p rime minister”是俄罗斯人民的希望，而非事实，B项错误；根据第5段我们知道在纽约时代广场，今年的水晶球则采用了节能技术，球体外表覆盖着一层沃特福德水晶，内置9,576个发光二极管，发出五彩的光芒，故我们可推出高科技发挥了重要作用；D项是文章直接提到的，而非推理得出。
73．B。根据“You will receive a response when our research is complete．”，可以得出答案。74．B。根据第二个步骤中的内容可以得出答案；A为第一次投诉的方式。
75．A。投诉的过程有三个步骤，而非对投诉的调查过程，因此A项表述是错误的；根据文章最后一句话，B、D项表述正确；根据“It will consider both your appeal and the BBC’s response …”，C项表述正确。

Rachel Carson(1907—1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement migh t not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished thir d in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks(1913 —2005) On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison.
