But I was 21 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 22 , with the second--hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't 23 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 24 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. "I guess we all have to __25___ something," Mother said quietly. I could 26 her pain and the tension of 27 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 28 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 29 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 30 and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was 31 . At that moment, feeling Mother's 32 with feelings, I understood for the first time herbeing easy to 33 . She was still my mother, 34 she was something 35 : a person like me, capable of fear, 36 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 37 in her arms.A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 38 ."It's a job I can do, though." She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 39 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 40 away across the paper.

You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you cana lso you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.41. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.A. happyB. lonelyC. freeD. excited42. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?A. Oh, so do I.B. Congratulations.C. Good luck.D. It’s just so-so.43. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.44. Which of the following is this passage about?A. Bad luck.B. Good luck.C. Happiness.D. Life.BThe following is a piece of international news in China Daily, March 13th, 1994.A train derailment yesterday in this town just south of the capital, Brussels (布鲁塞尔), killed one passenger and hurt more than two dozen, some seriously, The officials said the cause of the derailment was being looked into.45. The accident happened in .A. HollandB. BeigiumC. FranceD. Germany46. According to the passage .A. the accident was caused by the fact that on passenger was killedB .the officials announced the cause of the accidentC. why the derailment happened was obviousD. the cause of the accident was yet to be found out47. The news tells us that passengers suffered from the accident.A. 20B. 24C. more than a score ofD. no more than twenty-one48. The derailment happened .A. on March 13th, 1994B. on March 12th, 1994C. quite oftenD. more terrible than it was reportedCWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was wh ether there were planets in other solar systems where life might exist,” he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting (沿…轨道运行) other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995,” Dr. Marcy says. “We worked f or ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off.”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family” of three planets. In June, 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like (像木星一样的) planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids (小行星), or they all come and hit the Earth.” Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed.”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? “If so,” says Dr. Marcy, “we would have two striking similarities to our solar system: a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life!”49. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.50. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.D. The planet is as large as Jupiter.51. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 69C. 66D. 6552. “But we stuck with it” (in Paragraph 3) means __________.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressD“The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,” says Margaret Porter, a violinist and music teacher. “It’s the time when you are learning about the world.” Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year-olds. When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children’s five-year-old school friends.Margaret’s pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons. From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and reading music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.53. The writer is trying to write the text to __________.A.explain why Margaret likes teaching the violinB.describe a different way of learning the violinC.give advice on how to find a music teacherD.explain why Margaret has a lot of pupils54.

At first, he was no one 37 in my life. Then he became my friend. 38 , I felt he was my father too.Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we 39 into a house in a new suburban development, where he put down 40 . At first our lawn was just a mud pile with 41 grass but Leo saw bright possibilities. “We’ll plant trees there to give us 42 on hot days as well as some flowers,” he said. And just these little touches made our lawn different from all the others there. More important, a real 43 was forming.

The virus causes a disease called Ebola hemorrhagic (出血的) fever. The Ebola virus affects animals and people. It killed more than 200 people in the former Zaire in 1995. This year, the Ebola virus has killed more than 150 people in Uganda.The Ebola virus kills so quickly that the body’s defense system has no time to act against it. The disease kills fifty to ninety percent of the people it infects (感染). The disease begins with high body temperature, severe headache and muscle hurting. Then it causes severe bleeding and organ failure. Then the victim dies. Doctors say a person with the Ebola virus usually dies within three weeks after becoming infected. The disease spreads by people touching the body fluids of an infected person.No medicine or treatment now exists for the disease. Recently, however, American researchers announced progress in developing a medicine to prevent Ebola hemorrhagic fever in monkeys. The scientists gave eight monkeys a small but deadly amount of the Ebola virus. They gave an experimental vaccine (疫苗) to only four of them. The monkeys that did not receive the vaccine died within a week. The vaccine prevented the disease from developing in the four monkeys that received it. All the four monkeys were healthy six months later.The researchers said this was the first time a vaccine had protected animals similar to humans from the deadly Ebola virus. They will continue to test the vaccine on animals by giving them increasingly strong amounts of the virus.56. The first symptom of Ebola hemorrhagic fever is ______.A. high body temperatureB. serious bleedingC. severe body hurtingD. organ failure57. The Ebola virus can cause death quickly mainly because _________.A. it causes a great deal of sufferingB. it causes people to lose much bloodC. the body’s defense system hasn’t time to act against itD. it can easily produce viruses in people’s bodies58. From the passage we can learn that _________.A. the Ebola virus was originally found in AfricaB. progress in finding a vaccine to prevent the Ebola virus has been madeC. monkeys can be infected by the Ebola virus through airD. people infected with the Ebola virus always die immediately after being infected59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Monkeys are similar to humans in how a vaccine affects them.B. The researchers directly tested the vaccine on people.C. Half of all moneys injected with the vaccine died six months later.D. The researchers gave the monkeys a large amount of the Ebola virus.ＢSweden is a nation full of newspaper and magazine readers. Nearly 90 percent of the nine million adults in the country read at least one newspaper a day, putting Sweden near the top of worldwide print media consumption (消费). Ｍｅｔｒｏ, the largest and fastest growing international newspaper in the world, was launched in Sweden in 1995.From being just famous in Stockholm, the free daily newspaper, Ｍｅｔｒｏ, has exported its concept internationally. There are now 55 daily editions of Ｍｅｔｒｏavailable around the world in nearly 70 cities across Europe, North and South America and Asia.Ｍｅｔｒｏis available in 15 languages: Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Spanish, and Swedish.The papers are available on weekdays, mainly to commuters (上下班往返的人) in busy areas such as public transport stations.Ｍｅｔｒｏeditions are full of short articles, so that the newspaper can be read in 20 minutes.In Sweden, the newspaper has 1.1 million readers. This makes Ｍｅｔｒｏ’s readership nearly twice that of the second biggest selling newspaper in the country!The newspaper has managed to attract a young, well-educated audience in the cities where it is published, and the majority of its readers are under the age of 45.For advertisers who want to communicate with this target group, an ad in Ｍｅｔｒｏcosts them a lot of money. Many have moved their accounts from the traditional daily press to this free paper.Ｍｅｔｒｏrelies almost only on the money it takes from advertising to fund its operations around the globe.60. From the passage we can conclude that _________.A. the newspaper industry is well developed in SwedenB. people in Sweden have to spend much money buying newspapersC. a n ewspaper must be closely connected to a person’s jobD. people in Sweden care more about politics than other things61. How is Ｍｅｔｒｏfunded according to the passage?A. It is run by a rich boss.B. It is mainly supported by the government.C. The newspapers are recycled every day.D. It depends on the income from advertisements.62. According to the passage, most of the readers of Ｍｅｔｒｏare _________.A. people who want to learn about technologyB. people who often take buses, taxis or subwaysC. people who do business in SwedenD. students or music fans63. What is the best title of the passage?A. Success of a newspaper.B. A way to run a newspaper.C. Ｍｅｔｒｏ, an international newspaper in Sweden.D. A country where newspapers are read widely.ＣReduce, reuse, and recycle. This familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways. The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste —electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old computers, cellphones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous way more often than not used, a recent report suggests.“A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reus e — to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher.One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often it’s picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of thi s responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial (否认), is finally beginning to take the lead.64. The passage mainly tells us that _______.A. developing countries are facing serious environmental problemsB. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuseC. developing countries are making full use of e-wasteD. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries65. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries.B. Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials.C. The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.D. Old computers and TVs still work before they are sent abroad.66. The underlined word “unscrupulous” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A. immoralB. wrongC. trickyD. unsafe67. From what Gutierrez said we can learn that ________.A. developing countries should be responsible for this problemB. exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problemC. neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problemD. poor countries should be blamed for this problem68. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.A. China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret placesB. China has prevented poisonous materials from entering China for a long timeC. China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-wasteD. China has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-wasteＤRecent studies of some of nature’s environmental “records” show that global warmin g can penetrate deep into the ocean faster than scientists have realized.The record keepers are foraminifera —“forams” for short — creatures so small that several could sit together on a pinhead. Their shells reflect the environmental conditions under which they grow. The foram record includes a global warming event that provides a warning for our own times. Although it occurred 55 million years ago, scientists consider it useful for studying the causes and results of our own global warming.The key finding is that the earth is a system that can change very rapidly. The climate change at that time involved a large rise in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane (甲烷). Although there was no human input, this is another example of the important role such gases play in climate change.There also seems to have been a large release of methane from the seabed when frozen methane stored there were thawed out by the warming. This is a danger in our own times.“What this tells us is that the changes that we make to the earth today could lead to big changes to our planet,” Nunes, a scientist, explained in NATURE.Meanwhile, David Field, another researcher has found evidence that global warming is beginning to penetrate the ocean today. Field and his group looked at foram records off southern California for the past 1,400 years. Those records show great climate changes, decade by decade. Nevertheless, the 20th century stands out. They record great changes in small animal and plant species with cold-loving forms giving way to warmer-water types. “These results show that the 20th-century warming has already affected lower tropic levels of the California Current,” they reported.69. Scientists study the life of “forams” in the sea because _______.A. they are the smallest living things in the seaB. they have been living for almost 55 million yearsC. they can reveal environmental problemsD. they can make global warming more serious70.

They both liked this area very much, which might explain why they moved from Missouri to such a town in western Kansas. They did most of their shopping in Nash, but before Nash was built, they shopped at the little town of Moran, where there was a small grocery store.I remember when the railroad came to Nash, when the first telephones came, and the first cars. We lived six miles from the town so we missed out on meeting the trains. My mother was sick when I was young, so I did a lot of household chores, even doing the laundry, as I was the oldest, but I never worked outside with my five brothers. I remember going to school with my brothers. When we played basketball, we played outside, and the girls wore skirts and bloomers, and got along fine. I liked spelling matches, and we competed with other schools once or twice a month.I married Herm Messenger, a farmer in 1971. Eleven children were born to us, four boys and seven girls; four were dead at birth. There was one pair of twins, Paul and Pauline, however, Pauline died when she was nineteen months old. My first washing machine was operated by hand by pushing the handle back and forth. Later, I got a machine with an electric motor. My first machine with a wringer (压汁机) was a joke, as Herm took it to the church, and put it on the Christmas tree for me. That might not be exciting to a housewife today, but I thought it was!73. From the passage we can learn that the writer’s parents _________.A. had the first child unexpectedlyB. liked Missouri very muchC. had a hard time in NashD. had to shop a great deal74. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that the author _____.A. saw for herself the first trains, the first telephones and the first carsB. played, worked and went to school with her brothersC. did a lot of household chores when she was youngD. often won the spelling matches when at school75. In the last paragraph the author suggests that ______.A. the way her husband put the wringer on a tree was funnyB. she was excited when she received the wringer from her husbandC. her husband was fond of playing jokes on herD. her first washing machine was electrically run第四部分写作(共两节, 满分35 分)第一节对话填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面对话，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，在答题卡右栏中标有题号的横线上，写出一个英语单词的完整、正确形式，使对话通顺。

Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, idea, themes---anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea”until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times.(How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization”. “More than anything else in my life”. The professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last words, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.1.On hearing the teacher’s suggestion of reading, the writer thought___________.A.one must read as many books as possibleB. a student should not have a complicated ideaC.it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD.students ought to make a list of the books they had read2.While at high school , the writer __________.A.had plans for readingB.learned to educate himselfC.only read books over 100 pagesD.read only one book several times3.The underlined phrases “with finality”in the second paragraph probably means_____________.A firmly B. clearly C. proudly D pleasantly4. The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____________.A. explain why it was included in the listB. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listC. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandD prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word5. The writer provides two book lists to____________.A. show how he developed his point of viewB. tell his reading experience at high schoolC. introduce the two person s’ reading methodsD. explain that he read many books at high schoolBWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”6. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless7. According to the context we can guess that a genius is ________ while an idiot is ________.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a weak personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person8. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use9. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.VI. 阅读表达：According to the dictionary definition of “ create” , ordinary people are creative everyday . To create means to bring into being or to cause to exist –something each of us does daily .We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way . First this involves an awareness of our surroundings . It means using all of our sense to become aware of world . This may be as simple as being aware of color and appearance , as well as taste , when we plan a meal . Above all , it is the ability to notice things that others might miss .A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things . If we believe the expression “ There is nothing new under the sun”, the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example we might do this by finding a better way to study or to arrange our furniture , or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters(镜头和滤光器) 头create an unusual photograph .A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas , to apply them to achieve some new results . To think up a new concept is one thing ; to ____________________is another .These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius , but they are also involved in many of our day-to-day activities .1.What is the best title of the passage?

Many people even wear special clothes for dinner. So if you are asked out to dinner, you must find out whether you are expected to wear a formal suit. You would feel upset if, when you got there, you were the only person in ordinary clothes.Dinner is generally served at about half past seven. All the members of the family sit down together and are on their best behavior. The guest of honor will sit on the right of the lady of the house. There are two schools of thought as to the seating of the hostess. One is that she sits at the foot of the table but this may mess up the man-woman-man setting order. The other way is for the guest of honor to sit at the foot and the hostess to sit on his right. The wife of the guest of honor will sit on the right of the host. This is subject to change according to the wishes of your employer.During the meal when conversation is carried on, you should try to get into conversation with the person on your right or left, but you should not try to talk to someone who is a long way from you.Don’t forget to drop your hosts a thank-you note or make a brief phone call.36.

Frequent airport transportIf you have to wait an hour for the hotel bus at the airport or you miss your flight the next morning because the bus is lat e, it is not a service. It’s a disaster. 2. Fast reception and check-outNobody wants to stand in a line to register when they are tired or to pay the bill when they are in the hurry.3. Good restaurantsIn a city hotel you can go out to that nice little restaurant around the corner. In an airport hotel, you eat their food or go hungry.4. Up-to-date flight departure informationNobody wants to rush to the airport check-in desk and wait for two hours when you could stay in your hotel room. You will get the newest flight information in an airport hotel.5. Reliable message serviceIf an important message for you gets lost when you are at an airport hotel, you can be in the wrong continent by the time you find out.6. ______________________Being alone in a st range hotel isn’t much fun at all.

Something to do in the eveningCLetter One21 July, 2006Dear Sirs,Our foreman, Mr. Li Ming, had an accident on July 6, 2006. He crushed his forefinger (食指) when operating a machine. At that time, we didn’t think the accident was serious enough to report, but Mr. Li has returned to his work after an absence of two weeks and is still unable to carry on his normal duties. We therefore wish to make a claim (索赔) under the above policy (保险单) and shall appreciate your sending us the necessary claim form.Yours faithfully,(Signature)Letter Two27 July, 2006Dear Sirs,We have received your letter of July 21 and noted that you made a claim for the accident of Mr. Li Ming. We would, however, remind you of the terms of the policy that this claim should have been submitted within three days after the accident. More than two weeks have now passed. Consequently, your claim to compensation（赔偿） under the policy has been forfeited (放弃、没收).Nevertheless, as an exceptional measure, we have decided to overlook its late submission, though we are bound to say that it should have been clear from Mr. Li’s absence from work that this accident was more serious than you had supposed and that there seems to be no good reason why this claim should not have been made earlier.We are enclosing (附上) a claim form as requested, but must emphasize that futureclaims cannot be entertained if you cannot comply with the terms of the policy.Yours faithfully,(Signature)44.

What’s the attitude (态度) of the insurer to this injury?A. He doesn’t want to compensate.B. He compensated in time when they received the letter for claim.C. He thinks it doesn’t matter to tell him a little late.D. He thinks that the accident should be informed in time.DMore than 6,000 children were expelled (开除) from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report to the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996—1997, against 7 percent for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school,” Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do every thing to keep our children safe.”In March 1997, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two students were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.48.

From this passage we know that _______.A. it breaks the laws for Americans to have gunsB. only soldiers and the police can have gunsC. every American citizen can own gunsD. the US sets a good example in controlling gunsEFour FreedomsBy Franklin RooseveltIn the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.The second is freedom of every person to worship (崇拜) God in his own way—everywhere in the world.The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of armaments (武器) to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world....This nation has placed its fate in the hands，heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy (至高无上) of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. ...53.

Asking briefly gives the other person 25 in the conversation and makes you seem 26 .Those with the most 27 tend to tell more often than ask, and those who ask are 28 viewed as naive (无知的) or annoying or both. Case in point: Just last week, someone said her boss told her not to 29 so many questions during meetings.

INSIDER Family membershipBDuring my first year at Hotchkiss, my advisor recommended the math team as my winter co-curricular activity (课程辅助活动), but I did not take her advice. It seemed too academic to be interesting! Instead, I chose wrestling (摔跤).Although wrestling did prove to be interesting, it gave me sprains (扭伤) in both my wrist and my ankle. So in my second year, I decided to try something less physically competitive – the math team.The math wing was nearly empty 15 minutes after the last class had ended, and I walked to my first math team meeting at the end of the hall. Although I had suspected it a little, I was still surprised to find the room filled with East Asian and Indian students – no white or black students at all.I had always thought that an all-Asian society in the US would be boring or unproductive; after all, I came to the US to learn more about a foreign culture. However, friends from my math team soon became not only the group of people with whom I was most comfortable, but also a group from whom I learned a lot.The very first meeting started off with a math game that made everyone feel relaxed and broke the ice. After our orientation meeting (介绍会), we began to meet nearly every evening, except on Saturdays, to work on American Mathematics Competition problems individually.We then discussed them in groups that were divided up according to our mathematical skills. Whenever someone in a group had difficulty doing a math problem, the group would stop and explain it until that person understood. When we encountered (遇到) a hard problem that no one could solve, we usually got together and worked on the problem on the whiteboard so that we could share our ideas and perspectives (观点).Outside of math team meetings, our team also gathers to work on other projects or go tocompetitions representing the school. The challenging yet inviting atmosphere in the math team allows us to discuss questions freely, without worrying about looking stupid; it allows us to find great friends and develop our math skills.40. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The size of the math team.B. The makeup of the math team.C. The academic level of the math team members.D. The motivation of the math team members.41. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The math team aims to prepare students for mathematics competitions.B. The author was sure that only Asian students would be on the math team.C. Students would ask for a teacher’s help when t hey came across a difficult problem.D. The author changed her opinion of this all-Asian society after she joined the math team.42. What does the author think of spending time with the math team?A. It is very easy and relaxing.B. It is challenging and rewarding.C. It is competitive and frustrating.D. It encourages independence.CA new superhero show is coming to TV, and it is difficult to see how it could fail. US author George R.R. Martin, well known for writing the books that became the popular Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) show, announced on his blog on Aug 7 that television company University Cable Productions is going to make a TV show of his Wild Cards (《百变王牌》) series of books.So, where does the title of Wild Cards come from?The main idea of the series is that just after World War II, an alien virus hit the world –at first over New York in the US –and changed the course of history. A whole 90 percent of those affected by the virus died instantly (立即), but of those 10 in 100 who survived, nine were horribly disfigured –in the books’ language, they drew the “joker” from the pack of cards. Meanwhile, just 1 percent were given an “ace” and gifted with comic-book-style superpowers.The stories’ superheroes include Jetboy, a great pilot who tries to save the world from the virus released over New York; Doctor Tachyon, a good-natured and interestingly-dressed member of the alien race that unleashed the virus in 1946 by mistake and has been searching for a cure to help the jokers; and the Great and Powerful Turtle, who uses his abilities to put himself in a flying shell and fight crime.Alongside these aces, the disfigured jokers are hated and even cause 1960s US civil rights fights in the Wild Cards timeline.As the books’ website puts it: “Everything up until 1946 is how we remember it. After that year, many things change.”From this point in the stories’very different history, Martin and his writers put together a world that has the magic of the comic books it was inspired by but, he says, none of the problems with logic (逻辑) that these stories have.“Development (of the TV series) will begin immediately on what we hope will be the first of several series,” v Martin wrote on his blog. He described the books as “a universe, as large and exciting as the comic book universes of Marvel and DC (though considerably more realistic), with an enormous number of characters”.How could the show not succeed? As David Barnett wrote in The Guardian: “With Martin’s name attached to it, it’s certain ly going to attract curious Game of Thrones fans, even if they have no familiarity with the books.And despite some poor reviews for the latest comic book movies, especially DC’s Batman Superman (《蝙蝠侠大战超人》) and its newest release, Suicide Squad (《X特遣队》), the public’s love for superheroes seems to continue.”43. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Wild Cards series?A. The course of history began to change in 1960.B. Most people were horribly disfigured because of an alien virus.C. All the superheroes are humans who have gained superpowers from a virus.D. The magic of the world it created was inspired by superhero comic books.44. The underlined word “unleashed” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.A. copiedB. activatedC. releasedD. caught45. The Wild Cards series is ______.A. horrible but inspiringB. realistic and humorousC. thrilling and largeD. straightforward but exciting46. According to David Barnett, ______.A. many people hold low expectations for the Wild Cards showB. the Wild Cards show was inspired by the latest comic book moviesC. Martin’s name will guarantee attention for the Wild Cards showD. there are many similarities between Wild Cards and Game of ThronesDPlease, a round of applause (掌声) for the Indian man who sang for 80 hours straight, setting a Guinness world record in 2010. It was an impressive feat (成就), to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice. According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords (声带) can heal.It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told the DNA India web site.I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong, I hope that Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity. But his record singing for 80 hours straight is about as meaningful to me as the other interesting but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.Granted (的确), I’m not really qualified (有资格的) to speak on the subject. I’ve got no world records to my name and I never expect to have any. Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing 80 hours of pop songs.But let’s not just pick on poor Burbure. He’s not the only person chasing meaningless honors. The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, built the biggest bicycle or baked the largest cheesecake.To all of these enterprising (有胆识的) souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”Some people believe that it helps us measure ourselves and understand our own position in the world and how we fit in. But in my opinion, even with painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventuallyovertake you with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more grams of cheese.After all, records are made to be broken.47. From the text, we can conclude that the author ________.A. has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ featB. feels it is a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the BurburesC. thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaninglessD. is quite worried about Burbure’s vocal cords48. Before someone wins a Guinness record, he or she has to _______.A. become an international celebrityB. know all about Guinness recordsC. practice a great dealD. bear great stress for fear of injury49. We can infer from the article that _______.A. after the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speakB. Burbure’s wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness recordC. many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behaviorD. challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health50. The author’s attitude to some Guinness world records is _______.A. positiveB. impressedC. negativeD. touched第Ⅱ卷（共35分）第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Young people are definitely less courageous ( 勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? It’s because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are given.Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, they’d have to work for it and earn it.If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others, and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are they to learn courage?Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being able to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you through life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life.
