AIt’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run,but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD,Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired,but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my ―no thank you,‖ or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to just say ―no.‖ I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.21. Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.B. Because she feels a sense of achievement.C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD. D. Because she finishes her favorite exercise.22. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2 ?A. Others don’t understand what she dose.B. She likes to make others surprised.C. She doesn’t like others politely.D. Others try to help her by offering her food.23. What does the underlined word ―commitment‖ in the last paragraph mean?A. Good healthB. A regular habitC. A strong powerD. Firm belief24. What can we learn about the author from the text?A. She aims to develop a good body shape.B. She wants to look different from others.C. She acts in a strange way.D. She has difficulty getting along with others.【答案】21.B22.A23.D24.A考点：考查健康类短文阅读。

Part III Reading Comprehension ( 30 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. The passage is followed by several questionsor unfinished statements.

Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water! This year, the World Wide Web has turned 25 years old. What many people don’t know is that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland.In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software（软件）engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Researchin Switzerland. Since CERE was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. His paper suggestedan information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer ( connected through the Internet) allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lee’s boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, Berners-Lee wenton to develop the World Wide Web. He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol（超文本传输协议）to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser （浏览器）to see them.In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated（展示）and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers. Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use-a free open software. His wishes soon came true.Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.56. The World Wide Web was created to .A. help people get information easily and quicklyB. support the development of mobile technologiesC. make it easier for British scientists to communicateD. improve communication between scientists at CERN57. As for Berners-Lee’s paper, his boss .A. felt puzzled about itB. was uncertain about itC. had no confidence in itD. showed no interest in it58. According to the text, Berners-Lee .A. doesn’t give up easily when in troubleB. has worked at CERN for 25 yearsC. is a 55-year-old Swiss physicistD. knows little about the Internet59. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.A. a serverB. a browserC. HTMLD. the World Wide Web60. What would be the best title for the text?A. The future of the webB. World Wide Web turns 25!C. Tips on improving your websiteD. Interview with Tim Berners-LeeBIt’s not easy being a teenager—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him, if he should seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy（隐私）. Never read his mail or listen to his personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.61. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ________.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up62. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Become excited.B. Show respect.C. Refuse to talk.D. Seek help.63. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.64. Why do the parents require their child talk for 15 minutes only on the family’s telephone?A. To teach the teenager moderation.B. To save money.C. To help the teenager spend more time on study.D. To keep quiet.65. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Being a teenager is easier than being the parent of a teenager.B. It’s unnecessary to give your child the space he needs to grow.C. Not expect a lot from your child, but everything.D. If your child seeks advice or help, you should remind him that you’re always there for him.CA friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin （顽童）was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours tha t he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little disabled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“ There it is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

The power of the blast shattered（使粉碎）nearby shop windows and ripped the stainless（不生锈的）steel rubbish can to pieces.One passer-by，identified（确认）only as Zhang，said she was shocked by the noise and saw a lot of pedestrians lying on the ground when she got to the scene.Thirteen of the injured were taken to a local hospital after the explosion. A doctor there said five were in serious condition but already out of danger after emergency treatment. The others were just slightly hurt.The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, said an officer with the Tongren police, but refused to speculate as to the cause.36．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.

This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don‟t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores‟ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It‟s all about making the shoppin g experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.40．Which of the following statements is true?A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D．More women shopped online than men in 2004.41．From the passage we can infer that________.A．men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB．women usually decide what to buy in the familyC．the Internet is used in all the shops.D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.42．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.A．is unsafe B．is convenient C．is a waste of time D．is cheaper 43．What can we know from the passage?A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.B．Shopping online is fun for women.C．Shopping off-line provides better service.D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CA few days ago I asked my sons‟ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let‟s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you‟re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you‟ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know yo u didn‟t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but--- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”Julia‟s left eye reddene d with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but --- still not a word.“Around New Year‟s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but--- forget it. When didn‟t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick‟s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn‟t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn‟t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves el even. Here‟s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this …merci‟?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know I‟ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this…merci‟？”“In my other places they didn‟t give me anything at all.”“They didn‟t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn‟t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）---to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”44．What shocked the writer was Julia‟s ________.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. unwilling to express herself 45．The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的)B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently46．At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________.A. his understanding of Julia‟s anxietyB. his worry about Julia‟s futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak47．From the story, we can tell that Julia‟s employer was ________.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he‟s got a phone message.“But I didn‟t hear the ring，”you say.“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.Don‟t get mad. He‟s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It‟s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率）ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器）designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.48．Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology，so they can_________．A．talk in class without being heard by their teachersB．use cellphones to send messages in classC．hear better in class than their teachersD．improve their hearing ability49．The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the ________.A．adults are annoyed nowB．teenagers are annoyed nowC．adults are not annoyed nowD．both adults and teenagers are annoyed now50．According to this passage，what will happen to a person when he is over twenty?A．He can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.B．He can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.C．He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.D．He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.51．It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A．older people hear no better than teenagersB．older people had better not use cellphonesC．teenagers hear better than old peopleD．teenagers had better not use cellphonesEIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre‟s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography---Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lotsof equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“ snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.52．The passage is mainly about ________.A. the invention of camerasB. a kind of new art - photographyC. the development of photographyD. the important dates in the history of photography53．The first pictures of a war were taken by________.A. a French photographer in the 1840sB. an American photographer in the 1860sC. a German reporter in the 1880sD. a French artist in the 1890s54．Photography can also be an art form because artists can ________.A. take anything they likeB. keep a record of real lifeC. take photos of the famousD. show ideas and feeling in pictures 55．According to the passage, which of the followings shows the correct order?a．Photographs became popular in newspapers.b．Photographers carried processing equipment while taking pictures.c．The invention of small handheld cameras made photography easier.d．Daguerre invented a kind of photograph called daguerreotype.e．Brady took pictures of famous people.A. e, a, d, b, cB. d, b, e, c, aC. b, e, c, a, dD. d, c, e, a, b第四部分：第一节：阅读表达No one on earth loves to visit a doctor, but no matter how much we hate to knock at the doctor‟s door, something always seems to take us right there.

Books, magazines, TV and radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people a re thinking about.Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your e yes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand i n class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are s aying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign o n the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed th at there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive me ssages from them all the time?People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the sea and many other things.9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Words can carry messages.B.

They move for different reasons most of them mo ve to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer pla ces to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and mo ve to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt wat er. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthp lace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In north ern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leaves their mount ain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seasi de, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of l obster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the l obsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor ofthe ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody kno ws where they go.So ,sometimes we know why humans and animals move fro m one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe liv ing things just like to travel.16.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain t ime to ______.A. give birthB.find food more easilyC. enjoy warmer weatherD. find beautiful places17.
