The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”. Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried prapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient(配料 ) . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce (沙司 ). I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes. When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the erfect Muffins?as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the urmuffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly erfect?muffins. I would an ppreciate a full refund(退款 ) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely , Michelle Bauer 56. This letter is most likely addressed to _______.A. a local storeownerB. the owner of the muffin mix companyC. the clerk at a local muffin bakeryD. George, the cashier who sold the muffin mix 57. The tone(语气 ) of the author can best be described as ________.A. embarrassedB. hopelessC. disappointedD. disgusted 58. the author was unhappy with the product because________. A. the directions of the product contained a mistake B. it was not up to the promise made on the box C. it was too difficult to follow the directions D. it was worth less money than she paid for it 59. The author main purpose in writing this letter is to ________. A. prevent others from making the same mistake B. persuade the company too change the wording on their box C. get back all the money paid from the shop D. complain about how bad the muffins tasted B Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them. According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble. Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, anddrinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way. Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control.Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool. These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it. 60. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends. 61. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____. A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers C. self-control should be developed when one is young D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations 62. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____. A. without self-control, no one can succeed B. bad habits don’t always lead to bad results C. applying self-control correctly is important D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior 63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Sip of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power ?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-control C Should e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed．More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit． “In the hunt for a safer cigarette，e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International，which conducted the survey，said in a statement． About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes，which are battery-powered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution．They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell．Sold mostly on the Internet，e-cigarettes were first made in China． Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit．The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs． Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they don’t produce smoke，but 46 percent disagree．Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit．Young people，aged 18－29，and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes．Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable deathworldwide，according to the WHO． 64．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．American smokers ought to try e-cigarettes． B．Americans have different opinions about e-cigarettes． C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America． D．Most of the Americans don’t like e-cigarettes． 65．According to Zogby International，e-cigarettes ______． A．are much safer than common cigarettes B．are popular among people who want to quit smoking C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes D．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers 66．What do we know about e-cigarettes from the passage? A．Most Americans are familiar with them． B．They are a good choice as there is no nicotine． C．They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen． D．Most people buy them on the Internet． 67．What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e-cigarettes? A．Negative B．SupportiveC．DoubtfulD．Indifferent D LONDON (Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a French-Caribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异)，researchers said． The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove long-lasting without major problems．Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants，neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society，they reported． Only three people have received face transplants．The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog．In 2007，her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily，overcoming two periods of rejection． In 2006，Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30-year-old hit by a bear．While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation，two years later the man was doing well，his doctors said．“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option forrestoring a severely disfigured face，and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society，” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote． A French team described their work on a 29-year-old man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease，an illness that changes the shape of his face．“The man，who was not named，was given a new nose，mouth and chin in a 2007 operation．He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue，” his doctors said． “Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effective for the correction of specific disfigurement，” Dr．Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the Henri-Mondor hospital outside Paris wrote． 68．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．Face transplants can work． B．Face transplants help regain confidence． C．Three people have received face transplants． D．Disfigured people need face transplants． 69．The underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 means “________”． A．removing B．recoveringC．repairing D．rejecting 70．What problem resulted from the facial operations? A．The patients wouldn’t accept the facial change． B．It was hard for the patients to get along with others． C．It took some time for the patients to recover from the operation． D．The patients usually suffered from tissue rejection． While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided． 1 ● 72 When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try． ●Take care of yourself 3 If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, itwill be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor． ●Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work． 4 Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy． ● 5 Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first． A．Do whatever you like and want to do． B．You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest． C．Make a list of things to do． D．Try physical activity． E．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun． F．You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day． G．The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress． In recent years many flowers shops have been appeared in our small town. It is common for people to buy flowers when they go to a gathering, visiting a sick friend, or attend a wedding or birthday party.I still remember clear one day last year when Tom, a disabled student, presented some flowers to his mother to express his gratitude for her. He owing his entire life to his mother’s kind and care. With her he would not have had the confidence or the courage to fight his disability. As a result the great effort he has made, he was finally admitted to a key university. 第二节 书面表达 (满分25分) 学校网站新开设了一个”英语写作”栏目(column),以便学生发表(post)英语作文,进行交流,提高写作能力。

Take courage!”“What’s courage?”she asked, running to her mother’s bed.“Courage is the brave breath,” her mother answered.“Mum, do you have courage?”“Certainly.”The girl held out her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.”After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid that the “breath of courage”would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of “breath”to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should defeat(战胜) is nobody but ourselves.1.

"OK, Dad," said his son. 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 wasstanding 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.

May wanted to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose.“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon.”As she spoke, she shook some black pepper （胡椒粉）on the child’s nose. The child gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keepup with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.39.

A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old and up. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.This important change in women’s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women economic (经济的) position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married their school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to fuller part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage (婚姻), with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.43.

In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor(传感器) will find the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will find faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, separate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect(发现) fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper(拨弄) with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.47.
