Fill in each blank with word or phrases that best fits the context.I sat in my car waiting in line at the gas station,but my mind was somewhere else completely. It was just a week 36Valentine’s Day. Only twentysix months had passed by since my husband Robert Kirk’s death ,and I couldn’t stop37him.Valentine’s Day had been twice as 38for me and my husband of fifty-two years,Robert’s birthday was the day after,February 15th. Every year,on the 14th ofFebruary he’d 39me a card,signed at the bottom with “Xs(kisses)” and “Os(hugs)”. Then the next day we’d gather with the kids around a birthday cake and blow out the candles. After all those years,it wasn’t 40now to be alone.Suddenly,out of the corner of my 41,I could see a truck backing up towards me fast. I hit the horn(喇叭),but it was too late. Crunch!It had backed up 42into the driver’s side of my car. Looking at the damaged side view mirror and the plate-sized dent(凹痕) in the door,I almost felt crying. I made a claim on my insurance policy(按保单索赔) and 43,the claim was pushed through. A week later,I brought my car in for 44and rented one. I drove it home through rainy streets that seemed to 45 my feelings.The morning of the 14th,I woke up and still had a feeling of unhappiness. I had to get out of the house. So I headed to the garage. When I got close to it,my eyes was fixed on a card on the w indow of the car. It was signed with “RK”,the first letters of Robert Kirk’s name;“215”,his birthday ;and 46for “kisses” and “hugs” that I’d never forget. Who did this?The next day I received a note from my elder daughter,47“It was a surprise!I just want you to be happy.”36.A.after B.till C.before D.during37.A.living up to B.taking notice of C.relying on D.thinking about38.A.special B.especial C.funny D.interesting39.A.tell B.lend C.pass D.make40.A.easy B.different C.similar D.hard41.A.eye B.house C.mind D.car42.A.forward B.still C.right D.backwardsually B.surprisingly C.suddenly D.fortunately44.A.sale B.repairs C.gas D.change45.A. compare B.ignore fort D.match46.A.words B.marks C.symbols D.designs47.A.writing B.saying C.showing D.drawingSection C (12 marks)Directions:Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.“We are reading the first sentence of the first page of a book whose pages are endless...”I don’t know who wrote those words,48I have always liked them as they remind me that we make the mysterious and unknown future into anything that we can imagine,just as a sculptor (雕刻家) carves a statue from 49shapeless stone.We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed,we will gain a good harvest.50your seed is poor,we will grow a useless crop. If we don’t plant anythingat all,we will gain 51at all.We must be clear that the past is gone and we can do nothing to change it. So we should all be concerned 52the future,because that is where we will spend the rest of our lives. We want the future to be 53than the past. We want it free from mistakes that history is filled with. To do this,we should study our past to avoid the same mistakes 54catch today to plant our good seed. 55in this way can we achieve the future we want.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONDirections:Read the following three passages.

How to make your parents healthyCStudents often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways top ractice your English is to speak to a foreigner. You may ask, “Is it okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?”The answer is yes and no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, o therwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, classroom, office, shop or restaurant, for instance, feel free to ask him (for example):——What is your name?——Where do you come from?——What do you think of Beijing?——How long will you stay in Beijing?There are also situations where it's okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate to ask him or her:——Is this seat free?——Do you mind if I talk to you in English?You can probably help them if they are new in China and if they are alone, you may be able to make them feel more welcome.After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you're in luck. If not, then give them their privacy. Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.66. When you first meet a foreigner, you should say “________”A. Where are you going?B. Nice to meet you.C. Have you eaten your dinner?D. Can you help me with my English?67.

Complete the diagram/Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Homework can put you in a bad mood, and that might actually be a good thing. New research suggests that, in some cases, being too happy can hurt your performance in certain kinds of tasks.Researchers from Plymouth University in England wondered whether mood might affect the way kids learn. To find it out, they performed two learning experiments with children.The first experiment enlisted 20 kids, aged 10 and 11, as its experimental subjects. Each child was given 20 problems in which a triangle or other house-like shape was hidden inside a differrent, large image. The kids had to find the small shapes while sitting in a room with either joyful or gloomy classical music playing in the backgroud.As a measure of mood, the scientists asked the kids to point to one of five faces, ranging from happy to sad. The researchers found that sad kids took at least a second less to find the small shapes and also correctly identified an average of three of four mmore shapes.In the second experiment, 61 children, aged 6 and 7, faced the same type of shape-finding problems. Instead of listening to different types music, though, they watched one of three scenes from an animated film. One scene was happy. One was neutral.(中性的). One was sad.In this study,kid’s mood tended to reflect the scene they had seen. And just like in the first experiment, kids who felt sad or neutral performed better on the tests compared to happier kids. They solved an average of two or three more problems.The researchers supposes that feeling down makes people more aware of details, perhaps because sadness makes us more likely to focus on a problem or difficult situation. Some studies suggest that mildly sad adults do better than happy ones on tests of memory, judgement and persuaive argument that involve attention to detail.Two learning experiments●______71_____:To find out whether mood might affect kids’________72_________●Experiments description★______73_____:①30 kids, aged 10 and 11;②61 children, ages 6 and 7★Experimental process:①Give each child 20 problems with a triangle ot other _______74_________ hidden in a larger image and ask them to find the small shapes in a room with joyful or gloomy musical playing②Have the kids watch ________75_______ with three scenes (happy, neutral and sad ) and ask them to find the small shapes.★Experimental findings:①Sad kids:Take at least ______76______ to find the small shapesCorrectly identify three or four more shapes __________77_________②Sad kids:Solve an average of two or three more problems.●______78_____:Feeling down makes people _______79________ details.Being too happy can hurt your performance ______80______ in some cases. SECTION BDirections:Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Living green can help to reduce our expenses, However, many of us find it hard to start taking some steps to reduce our environmental impact. These are a few steps to help you get started.Start out with little steps. It is always easier to make lifestyle changes rather than trying to do a lot of things at once. A good first step might be to start using grocery bags which can be reused, so that you cut down on using plastic shopping bags for groceries. Keep several cloth bag s in your car so that they’re always handy.Speaking of cars, consider driving less. Think about where you can start cutting back on driving. Do you live close enough to your office to bike or even walk most days? Can you run some tasks without driving ? Not only will you be helping the environment. but also saving on gas, and getting more exercise.Eat less meat. Meat, especially red meat, takes lots of resources and land to produce, and too much consumption of it is also bad for your health. For instance, eat less steak, and eat more mixed dishes like stir-fries (炒菜) that are flavorful but have a bit of meat mixed in with vegetables, thus making for a more nutritious and balanced meal, while saving you money. Eat some all vegetarian meals. Maybe go vegetarian one day a week? Or remove meat from some of your lunches?Travel less, and travel sustainably. This can include booking vacations through environmentally responsible travel companies.Share your experiences and thoughts about going green with your friends and neighbors. Don’t be bored with it, but your own life style will encourage others to adopt green habits, as long as you don’t give up .Whatever you do to live a green lifestyle, start out small, and gradually build up as you get used to the changes. As you develop green habits, they will become a part of your lifestyle , and you will barely even notice the changes, and actually have fun.81. What bags should not be used for doing shopping?

But his parents didn’t have the money to buy him his favorite band’s albums. However, 30 years later, he was able to invite the band to play at Kremlin (克里姆林宫).The boy was Dmitry Medvedev. Last Wednesday he took over from Vladimir Putin. At the age of 42, he becomes the youngest president of modern Russia.Medvedev was born to a family of teachers. He read a lot from a young age. His favorites were the science-fiction book Children of Captain Grant and the encyclopedia. But from the beginning he wanted more than books.When he was 13 he got his first wage — 30 roubles for fixing cars. He blew the money on ice creams, cinema tickets and taxis with his best friend.After university, the soft-spoken young man went on to teach law at university and became very popular with his students. In 1999, Medvedev, after an invitation from Putin, left the school to become an official in Moscow. His students were sad and wrote him a note: “We have lost a handsome and smart teacher and will miss him very much. Please come back soon.”In 2005, Medvedev became the first deputy prime minister (副总理). But he kept a low profile and was as friendly as before. “He has not changed. He invited me to his home so he is not high and mighty,” said Vera Smirnova, Medvedev’s first teacher. “In Russia, only two politicians have invited their first teachers to their homes, Medvedev and Putin.”61.Before becoming President of Russia, Medvedev did the following jobs except_____.A.a teacher at university B.a captain of a bandC.an official in Moscow D.the deputy prime minister62.What does the underlined word “blew” mean in Paragraph 4?A.moved B.destroyed C.lost D.spent63.Which of the following statements about Medvedev is TRUE according to the passage?A.His students felt sorry to have lost a smart teacher.B.Unlike Putin, he respected his first teacher very much.C.He was fond of the British Hard Rock, but he was too busy to watch it play.D.When he got his first wage, he divided the money among his best friends.64.From the last paragraph, we can learn that____.A.Medvedev was a popular teacher, friendly to his students.B.Medvedev was fit for his job as the first deputy prime minister.C.Medvedev tried to follow the example of Putin in many ways.D.Medvedev’s first teacher sang high praise for his low profile.65.What is the best title of the passage?A.Medvedev --- a youthful president B.Medvedev ---- a fan of Hard RockC.How Medvedev became a success D.Two politicians respect their first teachersCThey like using the Internet. They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy-games, CDs and clothing-are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parent’s card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber(网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and £20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school-88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online-mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?”if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as InternetCash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as£20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.66. What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Sellers.B. Buyers.C. Teenagers.D. Parents.67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use ______.A. a new machineB. special coins and notesC. prepaid cardsD. pay-as-you-go mobile phones69. What is the passage mainly about?A. Online shopping traps.B. Internet users in the US and the UK.C. New credit cards for parents.D. The arrival of cyber pocket money.70. According to the Jupiter Research, which of the following can be concluded?A. 69% of the US teenagers can use the Internet at home.B. 88% of the UK teenagers are Internet addicted.C. Over 12% of the teenagers surveyed had the experience of online shopping.D. Over 12% of the teenagers surveyed have access to Internet shopping.PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A school in Nanjing plans to order Korean-style school uniforms for students, but parents were against the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students.Parents:“My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it’s her dream to wear a miniskirt to school every day,” a mom said. “My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniforms! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they concentrate on their studies?”School: we had to stop the plan because many parents were strongly against it. Some parents thought it was just a way for the school to make money, and others thought the new uniforms would take students attention away from their studies.Students: the students were very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They thought the sportswear uniforms made them look androgynous( 兼具两性的). They said the Korean uniforms had many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence.As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and has no relationship to the uniforms.The Department of Education: We don’t have a unified standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sportswear or other uniforms are OK. Currently, most middle and elementary schools in Nanjing have sportswear uniforms.Expert:Fashionable school uniforms can increase students’interest in learning. Parents don’t need to worry too much about early romances. Today’s primary and middle school students have strong personalities and their appreciation of beauty is rapidly forming. A fashionable uniform can foster(培养) their sense of belonging to the school and reduce their resistance to the school’s management.But we don’t have to follow Korean or Japanese styles. We should design our own Chinese style uniforms.SECTION B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.
