One possible version:With the college entrance exam approaching, time is becoming more precious for the Senior Three students. Therefore, many of them are trying to study from early morning till late night, even during the ten-minute break, which easily contribute to tiredness and low efficiency.In my opinion, it’s necessary to take a ten-minute break between classes. During the ten-minute break, we’d better do something relaxing to get rid of tiredness. What we need to do is to relax ourselves instead of getting more tired. My ten-minute break is wonderful. Sometimes I do some simple exercise or take a walk around the campus. Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates. Besides, I liking looking at the green trees and grass out of the window. When the next class begins, I feel refreshed and focus on my study.Just as a saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. As far as I am concerned, no one can concentrate on his study without having a rest. Only if we learn to combine study and rest can we study more efficiently.第二节:短文写作(满分30分)一、评分原则①本题总分为30分,按5个档次给分。

Then the light streaming from his headlights sh owed very 43 why no taxi wanted to take us to our hotel. And I began to understand the driver’s apparently unfriendly silence — he was worried. The steep incline (斜坡) ahead was 44 with snow. The taxi slowly made its way up the hill. Suddenly, we came to a dead stop, and the driver turned to us. “Look! It is very 45 to go forward. You have to get o ut and walk. If I drive any further, the taxi will slide back,” he sai d. “Er ... can you keep your headlight on and help my elder sist er?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For ea ch of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choos e the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAmmie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 m onths old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire o f a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby h ospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Amm ie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took abo ut six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 mor e operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the schoo l,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends beca use of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burne d person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confid ent, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a char ity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the young er children at the in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first sum mer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from o thers,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer cam p that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burn s scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”56. How many operations has Ammie already had?A. TwelveB. ThirteenC. fourteenD. Fifteen57. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school ?A. They were friendly to her.B. They showed sy mpathy to her.C. They were afraid of her.D. They looked down upon her.58. Ammie will teach the younger children at the to__________ _.A. face others’ unkindness bravelyB. hide th eir scars by proper dressingC. live a normal lifeD. recover quickly59. Which of the following words can’t properly describe Ammie ?A. CourageousB. ConfidentC. sensitiveD. Out going60. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Seriously Burned Girl Survives to Get Rid of Unki nd StaresC. Permanent Scars And Pain For a GirlD. A serious ly burned angel of HopeBis a mobile society. Friendships between Americ ans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations chan ge. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christma s greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships betw een us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feeling s, extending sometimes deeply into both families.ericans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming u s and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand A mericans is that although they include us warmly in their person al everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the prac tice in our country where we may be generous with our time. So metimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middl e of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as g uides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express t heir welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the ti me to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. T hey will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them f rom there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be f ull, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pur ely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home.61. In which part of a newspaper can this article be found?A. Culture.B. News.C. Story.D. Travel.62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.63. The underlined words “flower”(in Line 5) probably means __ _________.A. weakenB. developC. stretchD. disappear64. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we ar rive in to visit an American friend, we will probably be_________ __.A. treated hospitably at his homeB. offered a ride to his homeC. warmly welcomed at the airportD. treated to dinner in a restaurant65. The writer mainly talks about ___________ in the text.A. friendships between ChineseB. Americans’ hospitalityC. different views of friendshipD. friendships between AmericansCis set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment, one that will require thousands of first-time offenders—whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit—to install in their cars blood- alcohol testing devices that can loc k the ignition. The devices work like this—A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car’s ignition. If the result is higher than the legal limit, the car will n ot start. The device also requires random “rolling retests” once t he driver is on the road.’s current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a b lood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars.The new law, which takes effect in July, will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices f our times, and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typic al six-month installation.The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders. Such groupsas Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regio nal Alcohol Program say that ’s 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remai ned unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunk en driving. Ignition interlock devices, they say, reduce repeat off enses. But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the d evices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal bl ood alcohol limit 0.08, and that the court system will be burdene d by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.Del. Sal R. Iaquinto, who sponsored the bill, had a simple rep ly for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises: “How m uch does a life cost?”“Blowing into a tube for six months, you w ill remember that,” Iaquinto said, “And you’re not likely to offend again.”66. The underlined word “ignition” in Paragraph 1 probably refer s to the part in a car where ___________.A. the alarm goes offB. the engine startsC. the door op ensD. the car is fueled67. Who are required to install the blood alcohol devices accord ing to the current law?A. The first time drunken-driving offenders.B. The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.C. The repeat drunken-driving offenders.D. Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.68. The reason why some defenders and lawyers oppose the n ew law is that ____________.A. fewer cases go to trialB. lower-income drivers will not afford to drink againC. interlock devices increase repeat offensesD. the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders69. The debate aroused by the measure implies that _________ __.A. prevention is better than cureB. no law is absolutely perfectC. punishment is the key to allD. justice has long arms70. What is Del. Sal R. Iaquinto’s attitude towards the new law?A. Negative.B. Indifferent.C. flexible.D. wo rkable.Part Ⅳ 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. Would you work for nothing? Non-paid internships(实习生) have been common in the US for some time now. But these days, they are becoming more and more popular in other count ries, too. Is this a good thing?For young people, there are clear benefits to doing an internshi p. Firstly, interns get a valuable insight into an industry they mig ht be interested in working for. Also, having done an internship l ooks good on your CV, which is very important in today’s comp etitive job market. A lucky few may be hired at the end of the int ernship, so it’s a good way of getting a foot in the door. For othe r interns, there is even extra welfare: deals on clothes if they’re working in the fashion in industry, free trips if they’re working for a travel agency…and so on.There are obvious benefits to companies, too. They can help se lect employees who are better. “If you put two young people to work as interns for twelve weeks, you’ll soon see who is good.”said one manager. Besides, they can save money. “If I use inter ns, I don’t have to pay another salary, or worry about paying pe nsions or giving people overtime pay.” said another.So, what do interns do? Most tasks are fairly routine. These ma y include photocopying, filing documents, or writing up notes from meetings. At times, interns may be given jobs with more resp onsibility, such as making sales calls, writing newsletters or upd ating websites.However, for some interns the experience can become unpleas ant. “I worked for a theatre company for six weeks and spent th e whole time photocopying scripts and making the tea and coffe e. It is dull.” said one intern. On the other hand, non-paid internships violate the labor law in some countries, where workers must be paid the minimum wage and paid for overtime. Internship can provide benefits to both sides, but these unpaid workers are also easy to take advantage of!Title 71.____________I.

Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.In and other countries, young people usually take a “gap year”, a year off between high school and college. This idea never gai ned a big following in the . Recent news reports have suggeste d that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.Charles Deacon, the dean of admissions estimates that in the c urrent first-year class of one thousand six hundred students, only twenty-five percent decided to take a year off. He says this number has not changed much over the years. He says the most common r easons to have a chance to travel, but international students m ay take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military du ty.Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to reco ver after twelve years of required education. But it can also give students a chance to explore their interest.Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. E xperts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as t hey work at something they enjoy. The Harvard admissions offi ce has an essay on its Web site called “Time Out or Burn Out fo r the Next Generation”. It praises the idea of taking time off to st ep back, think and enjoy gaining life experience outside the pre ssure of studies. Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Stu dents might miss their friends who go on directly to college. And parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to c ollege once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.Holly Bull is the president of the Center for Interim Programs. H er company specializes in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books have been written about this subj ect. And she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.81.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(30 marks) Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. “Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.” They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?” “Am I rich? Pity, no!” I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 36.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Lady, are you rich? B.A story of Thanksgiving Day C.Don't forget how rich you are D.Does cups and saucers match well? 37.The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________. A.she wanted to sell old papers to them B.she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party C.she showed great pity and care on them D.she had the same experience as them in the past 38.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy. B.The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive. C.If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap. D.After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 39.The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________. A.show that she was a kind-hearted lady B.remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she was C.leave room for readers to think about what being rich is D.prove that she had understood what meant being rich 40.It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________. A.how much money you have made B.what attitude you have had towards life C.the way you help others D.your social relationship B As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it's tough finding a job—especially if you're competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don't quite seem to land the job because you don't have related experience. Don't despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge. ★ Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job. ★ Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it's perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It's worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet. ★ When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job. ★ Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview. ★ Don't be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified—if there's room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entry-level position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won't be long before you're in the job you want. ★ Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement. ★ When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization. ★ Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use. Good luck! 41.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the failing to find a job? A.The global financial crisis. B.The serious competence. C.Your lack in related skills. D.Your lack in related experience. 42.What's the author's advice on the resume? A.To read it over several times by yourself. B.To get professional help even if it costs. C.To copy something from books. D.To publish it on the Internet. 43.If you lack related experience you can________. A.make up some in your resume B.read books to get second-handed one C.do some related voluntary work D.get some training at schools 44.Which of the following statements on interviews is RIGHT? A.Have a few questions ready to ask the interviewer. B.Describe clearly your ability to the interviewer. C.Refuse the interviewer's offer of another position. D.Wear new clothes for the interview. 45.The purpose of the text is to________. A.show how to prepare for an interview B.wish people good luck C.encourage people not to despair D.give advice on how to find a job C Boys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人). Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15-year-old boys and girls found that girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship. Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years. As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy's life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”,someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep. 46.The common belief of adults is that boys________. A.don't care about others as much as girls B.don't value friendship as much as girls C.have the same friendship as girls D.have healthier friendship than girls 47.According to the text, boys' friendship________. A.is usually built around active play B.tends to be in small groups C.can bear mutual hurt between friends D.doesn't suffer from failure 48.The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________. A.many people believe girls are better at relationships B.most boys consider their friends very important C.boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls D.boys may be more active in a friendship 49.As a boy gets older, he tends to________. A.widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people B.shift his focus from his friends to himself C.leave his parents out of his friendship D.be confused about what a friendship is 50.What's the best title for the text? A.Friendships between Boys and Girls B.Boys and Their Friendship C.Childhood and Adolescent Friendship D.Tips on Making Friends with Boys Part Ⅲ 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. The atmosphere is a gaseous envelope that surrounds the Earth. It is a collection of gases, vapor and particulates surrounding the Earth. The atmosphere is very important to life on this planet because, firstly, it acts as a system for cycling and recycling carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen; living things transform these elements into sources of carbohydrates and proteins for nourishment(营养). Secondly, it protects us from invisible threats such as the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Thirdly, it protects the Earth’s surface from rapid heating during the day and rapid cooling down at night. Lastly, it provides us with the air we breathe as it is our basic life support system; every breath we take requires oxygen in the air. However, human activities are causing the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere. This has resulted in many environmental and health problems. Urban air pollution, acid rain, contamination by toxic chemicals, the lessening of the stratospheric ozone layer and changes in the global climatic system are all important environmental threats to the atmosphere. Air pollution Our planet is becoming choked with poisonous gases mostly from our daily activities like driving cars, warming out house and running power stations. And pollution doesn’t need a passport to travel around the world. Ozone depletion For years, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)were used as a cooling device in freezers and air conditioners. CFCs destroy the ozone layer, the layer that filters(过滤)ultraviolet radiation from the sun which causes eye damage and skin cancer. The greenhouse effect As more greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere reflect more heat back to the Earth, it causes a rise in temperature, beyond that which is considered to be normal. Rising temperature will cause the climate change, which may lead to more natural disasters, extinction(灭绝)of some animals and plants. Additionally, while passing through surface, some is lost in space. Greenhouse gases reflect back some solar energy and make the atmosphere hotter. Humans are damaging the atmosphere, which serves to be our coat. One day it deserves their right. And the world is warming up, the polar icecaps to melt, sea levels to rise and extreme weather conditions to occur more frequently. Section B(10 marks) Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Jaime Alfonso Escalante was considered one of the best teachers in the United States. He was born in1930 in La Paz, Bolivia. He taught math and science in his home country for twelve years. In the 1960s, Jaime Escalante and his wife Fabiola came to the United States. During the next several years, he learned to speak English and repeated his college education and teacher training. In 1974, Mr. Escalante was hired at Garfield High School to teach mathematics. The school was in a poor area of Los Angeles, California. Many of the students in the school had serious problems withillegal drugs, gangs and violence. The school was in danger of losing its official approval to operate. Mr. Escalante’s students were mostly Mexican-Americans from a Spanish-speaking area of the city. Many were the worst students at the school and thought to be “unteachable”. But Mr. Escalante pushed the group to work hard. He told them basic math was too easy and that they had the ability to do harder work. Jaime Escalante started an advanced math program with a small group of students. Advanced Placement is a program of college-level classes and tests. In 1982, eighteen of his students took the Advanced Placement test in calculus(微积分学). They all passed. The officials at the testing company suspected the students of cheating. Mr. Escalante protested(抗议). He said the students were being rejected because they were from a poor school. He urged his students to take the test again. Twelve of the students repeated the test. And again, They all passed. Five earned top scores. Mr. Escalante’s students went on to become engineers, scientists and university professors. Jaime Escalante received many teaching awards. A movie about his success, Stand and Deliver, was released in 1988. It influenced other teachers to use his methods. Jaime Escalante retired from teaching in 1998 and later moved back to Bolivia with his wife. He died when he was seventy-nine years old. 61.

A The practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers. Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician. Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. The magician's combined words and actions form a ceremony. Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an object—for example, a carving or a dried snake—honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects. Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols. The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts. Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activityfor a certain period before the ceremony. 31.What do magic words mean to people in some society? A.They have the power to kill devils. B.They have power if magician recites the right spells. C.They have no effect at all. D.They can be used whenever they want. 32.People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by________. A.the spells B.magic objects C.stones or rings engraved with magic symbols D.medicine 33.Why do many people believe in a fetish? A.Because it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money. B.Because it is carved with magic symbols. C.Because people think spirits live in it. D.Because it can help them with many things. 34.What's the best title of the passage? A.How Magic Works B.The Power of Magic C.How to Practice Magic D.The Choice of Magicians B Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed. In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world. “Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. “It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car,” she said. According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay. Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car. But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive. Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit. Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said, “But I'd rather be alive than driving, andI_don't_really_trust_my_friends_on_the_road,_either.” In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult? 35.Which may serve as the best title of the article? A.Cars Helping You to Grow-Up B.Driving into the Grown-Up World C.Teenagers' Driving in America D.Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult 36.16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because________. A.they want to show themselves off B.they are never experienced drivers C.older people always drive better D.they never drive carefully on the road 37.Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car? A.How well off the family is. B.Whether the kid is old enough. C.What traffic condition there is around. D.Whether it's practically needed. 38.When Chad said “I don't really trust my friends…”, he meant that________. A.he might run into his friends if he drove B.he didn't agree with his friends C.he might not be safe if his friends drove D.he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him C I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physicalisolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Considering that we_can't_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation. At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life. 39.According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________. A.probably suffered less from anxiety B.were considered less individualistic C.were less isolated physically D.were probably less self-centered 40.What does the author mean by saying “we can't turn the clock back” in the third paragraph? A.It's impossible to forget the past. B.The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten. C.It's impossible to slow down the pace of change. D.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. 41.The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________. A.illogical B.confusing C.surprising D.questionable 42.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.To children, anxiety is completely avoidable. B.TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world. C.Exercise does not help to lessen children's anxiety. D.Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little. D Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school. ◆________ The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40—45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and atlunch-time, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours. Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few. ◆After-school Activities Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sportsclubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations. 43.Most Japanese high school students often have their lunch________. A.in restaurants B.in school cafeterias C.at home D.in homeroom classrooms 44.Students in the USA go to school________days a year. A.180 B.200 C.240 D.300 45.The underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph means “________”. A.always B.never C.seldom D.often 46.The best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs may be “________”. A.At school B.In class C.Subjects D.Homerooms E Some say everyday miracles(奇迹) are predestined(注定的)—the right time for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere. In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League Team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped. When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(换班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son's performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR(心肺复苏术), breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions. And he revived in the end. After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time. Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking. Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The colour began to return to her face. “The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.” Who was the woman? Penny Brown. 47.The author wrote the passage to show us that________. A.miracles are predestined and they can happen anywhere B.whoever helps you in trouble will get a reward one day C.God will help those who give others a helping hand D.miracles won't come without any difficulty sometimes 48.Which of the following statements is TRUE of Kevin Stephan? A.He was hit on the face by a boy and almost lost his life. B.He was a volunteer junior firefighter, teaching the players first-aid skills. C.He worked part-time in a local restaurant to save money for college. D.He saved Penny Brown though he didn't really know how to deal with food choke. 49.The underlined word “revived” in the third paragraph most likely means________. A.came back to life B.became worse C.failed D.moved 50.When Kevin knew the woman was Penny Brown, probably he first felt________. A.happy B.surprised C.sad D.worried 第三部分 书面表达(共两节,满分50分) 第一节 完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分) 阅读下列各小题,根据每句后的汉语提示,用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。
