AMr Brown was going away for a week.

But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

He grew up on a farm near Little Falls, Mississippi. In his childhood, Lindbergh showed unusual mechanical ability. At the age of 18, he entered the University of Wisconsin to study engineering. However, Lindbergh was more interested in the exciting, young field of air travel than he was in school. After two years, he left school to become a pilot performing dangerous tricks.Lindbergh made the first non-stop flight alone across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20～21,1927.Other pilots had crossed the Atlantic before him. But Lindbergh was the first person to do it alone non-stop. Lindbergh's unusual action gained him immediate, international fame. The press named him ―Lucky Lindy and the ―Lone Eagle．Americans and Europeans admired the shy, slim young man and gave him a lot of honors.After the flight，Lindbergh published We，a book about his flight. The title referred to Lindbergh and his plane. Then, he flew throughout the United States to make speeches to encourage air travel on behalf of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics (航空学)．Lindbergh learned about the pioneer rocket research of Robert H．Goddard, a Clark University physics professor. Lindbergh persuaded the Guggenheim family to support Goddard's experiments, which later led to the development of missiles, satellites, and space travel.Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, Lindbergh took part in the activities against American involvement (参与) in World War Ⅱ.Many Americans criticized him for this. After the war, he served as an adviser in the aircraft industry.29．Lindbergh made the first non-stop flight alone across the Atlantic Ocean at the age of________.A．18 B．20 C．25 D．2730．Lindbergh stopped his study at university because________.A．he was more interested in air travel than his studyB．he wanted to make a flight across the Atlantic OceanC．he intended to write a book about his flightD．he did very well in his study and graduated in advance31．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Lindbergh had been famous before his flight across the Atlantic.B．People had no interest in the young field of air travel at the time.C．Lindbergh was the first pilot to cross the Atlantic.D．It was very difficult to fly across the Atlantic alone without stopping then.32．Which of the following roles did Lindbergh NOT perform in his life?A．Speechmaker. B．Writer. C．Researcher. D．Adviser.DAre you having difficulty falling asleep? Try drinking a glass of warm milk. If that doesn’t work, listen to some soft, beautiful music. Still no luck? Try think about sheep jumping over a fence. If you are still awake, take a sleeping pill. People who take pills often become dependent on thedrugs. So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive. If you have been in such conditionfor at least one month, you may have primary insomnia(失眠症).A new study has found that you might fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer if you try “cerebral hypothermia.”It is not a complex medical process. It just means cooling down your brain.Eric Nofzinger and Naniel Buysse from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had sleeping problems. Twelve others had no sleeping problems. Each ofthem wore a soft plastic cap on their head at bedtime.The caps had tubes inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubesand then changed the temperature of the water. Other studies showed that people who had sleeping problems often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brain. The researchers thought coolingdown the brain might help.On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore caps with no water. On the next two nights,the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little foranother two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made muchcooler. The researchers found that the water caps didn’ t help the patients until the temperaturewas about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water wasmoving around their head.Dr. Nfzinger and Dr. Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study.But they believed they had discovered something important that needed more research.33. The first paragraph is written to _________.A. explain how serious insomnia is.B. bring forward the topic of the passage.C. tell us the causes of sleeping problems.D. tell us the danger of having sleeping problems.34. From the passage we know that “cerebral hypothermia” is actually _________.A. a complex medical process.B. a psychological treatment.C. a simple physical treatment.D. a difficult scientific theory.35. In the study, researchers helped people fall asleep faster through _________.A. increasing chemical reactions in the front of their brain.B. making them feel safe with a cap on their headC. asking them to drink water to cool downD. lowering the temperature of their brain。

AWhile the word “island” will have you think of beaches, the sun and sand, there are some islands where you’ll find that the perfect sunshine is covered by clouds of mystery.Easter IslandEaster Island is located midway between Chile and Tahiti. Land on it and you’ll instantly be attracted by the sight of big sculptures（雕塑）, 14 feet tall, and weighing 14 tons each. Known as the moai, these ancient sculptures have been made out of volcanic rock（火山岩）. For years, people have have no idea why the ancient locals decided to build them.SeychellesThe Seychelles is a group of 115 islands located in the Indian Ocean, off the eastern coast of Africa. At least half of these islands are preserved as national parks. They are home to the coco-de-mer, a big plant which produces the world’s largest seed and leaf, and are also home to many rare animal species.Surtsey IslandThe Surtsey Island is at the southernmost point of Iceland. It didn’t exist before 1963. Then an undersea volcano erupted（爆发）, which reached the surface and began forming this island. The volcanic activity continued till 1967, at which point a 2.7 sq km piece of land was formed. Since then, wave has continually affected the island, reducing its size, which as of 2002 was only 1.4 sq km.Isola La GaiolaOff the coast of Naples, Italy, you’ll find the Isola La Gaiola, which actually consists of two small islands linked together by a bridge.

On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water related diseases.Living in the US, I am lucky to be able to turn on the tap and get potable water(饮用水), while one sixth of the world's population lacks access to clean water This year, I entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. In late June, I learned that I was selected as one of the top 10 national finalists of this famous middle school science competition. Over the summer, I worked with Dr. Jim Jonza, my Scientist mentor( 导师)from 3M, and developed a system that uses solar energy to purify water. My invention is green and cost effective, and I am looking forward to implementing this in places that are affected(影响)by harmful water pollution.In October, my family and I flew to 3M Headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25,000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America’ s Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester opened the paper and started announcing "The winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is.... “ You could hear a pin(大头针) drop as he opened the paper with the winner’ s name, “Deepika Kurup!”As America’s Top Young Scientist, I was given an opportunity to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations.

Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P.，47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out.D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up fourchildren, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.21. What did Henry P. do when he was caught?A. He damaged the pub.B. He attacked the police.C. He bothered other customers.D. He quarreled with his boss.22. How would the author feel about Mrs F.’s life?A. Active.B. Amusing.C. Pitiful.D. Ridiculous.23. Who had the unclear motivation for his/her crime?A. Henry P.B. Mrs F.C. PeterD. Mrs A.3.（8分）BThe full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, themoon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small. There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you intobelieving an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?A. It looks different.B. It becomes large.C. Its color disappears.D. Its shape changes.25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?A. It turns orange.B. It comes nearer.C. It goes farther.D. It gets through dust.26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?A. They are low on earth.B. They are large objects.C. They can affect our judgment.D. They can attract our attention.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The size of the moon often changes.B. We do not see the moon as it really is.C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.4.（8分）CThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him. Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps.Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D.A modem life.29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help thefamily.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Interesting PipeB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. Magic Trust5.（8分）DAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?A. It’s valueless.B. It’s limited.C. It reflects today.D. It helps start a talk.33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. To calculate the value of the past.B. To plan a schedule for future events.C. To figure out the importance of time.D. To meet deadlines and appointments.34. When will Americans chain two events together?A. When common evidence is found.B. When the two events happen one by one.C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.D. When one event happens long after another.35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?A. See time further.B. Make a long-range plan.C. Remember the past time.D. Keep their commitments.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

In his latest book, each poem is paired with a colorful image that illustrates(图解) a different type of bee and its role in the group. Every page is full of fun and interesting facts about these social insects.TFK: When you brainstorm for a story, which comes first: the images or the poems?FLORIAN: Usually the poems come first. For a book of 21 poems, for example, I'll actually write about 50 poems first. Although I sometimes have images in my mind to go along with the words, I have to choose which ones I want to include in the book.TFK: Many of your books, including UnBEElievables, are about insects and animals. How did these become your favorite subjects?FLORIAN: There is so much humor in the animal world. People have a lot of knowledge about animals and ideas about animals that are fun to explore in writing. Animals are just so interesting. When I research, I find out so many new and amazing facts. The poem is often half written by the time I have done with my research. TFK: Why did you choose bees as the subject of your latest book?FLORIAN: I saw recently in the news that many bees are dying out. Scientists believe this to be caused by various diseases. I wanted to create awareness and learn more about bees after hearing this. So many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are dependent on pollination(授粉) by honeybees. If bees disappear, so will much of our food.TFK: Do you have a favorite bee?FLORIAN: One of my favorites is the poem and painting about the worker bees.I wanted the painting to be very playful and light. These bees have to work all day, and it's kind of like a factory. And even though these bees have to work very hard, they manage to smile.21.

Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for exampl e, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you.”In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there.In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I'm the champion” or “I'm the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.24.

Jane, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitorson the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But asshe hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm.

He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet towardthe body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Tom reached Jane, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out.

A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirtto help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn't,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Tom told the story to an officer.
