Every time he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席) , the students would be worried, for he was seldom pleased with their answers. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive agood mark from him. Now a student came into the exam room and sat before the committee. Thisstudent was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy for him to pass the exam.The student was asked to describe an illness. His answer was OK. Then Mr. Smith asked about thecure for the illness, and the student, too, gave a quick answer. "Good,"said Mr. Smith,"and howmuch will you give the patient?" "A full spoon,"answered the student."Now you may go out and wait for what you can get," said Mr. Smith. At the same time thecommittee discussed the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student realized that there wassomething wrong with his last answer. "A full spoon is too much,"he thought to himself. Very worriedly he opened the door of the room and cried, "Mr. Smith, I've made a mistake. A full spoon istoo much for the patient. He can take only five drops." "I'm sorry boy," said Mr. Smith coldly, "Butit's too late, Your patient has died."46. Why were all the students afraid of Mr. Smith?A. Because he was always strict with them.B. Because he often laughed at them when they were in trouble.C. Because he never listened to them carefully when they answered his questions.D. Because he often misunderstood（误解）them and gave them bad marks.47. From the passage we can learn that the patient would_______.A. be safe in taking only five drops at a timeB. be in trouble if he took five drops at a timeC. be all right soon if he took one full spoon at a timeD. be not well again without the student's help48. We can guess that the student _______.A. received a good mark at lastB. failed the exam at lastC. passed the exam at lastD. would be no longer afraid of Mr. Smith from then onBDuring all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the otherside of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself. "Perhaps I can get there with aboat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe wastoo heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was veryunhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe,but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die atsea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or twolater, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second housethere, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learntto make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true,but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island,and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, andsoon I hadgoats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so many years went by.49. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _______.A. keeping goats for milkB. making clothes from animal skinsC. working in the cornfieldsD. going fishing in the sea50. Why didn't the writer use his first canoe?A. Because it was too small for a long journey.B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.C. Because there was something wrong with it.D. Because the writer was busy building a second house.51. From the story, we can learn that _______.A. the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the islandB. the writer had nothing to do on the wild islandC. the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failedD. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedomCWant to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared (比较) to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely (可能) to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body fightillnesses, said by the researchers from New YorkUniversity."It seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews,the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room forsix days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who saidthey felt happy during the research period, their illnesses are less serious and lasted for a shortertime.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemicalthat helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health: look on the bright sidemore often.52. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. Cohen from New YorkUniversity did the research.B. People were kept alone for six days.C. People were given colds by doctors.D. People were made to feel unhappy.53. What did the study find?A. People who felt happy never got ill.B. People s feelings didn't influence their health.C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.D. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.54. According to Cohen, which ofthe following may help fight illness?A. Eating.B. Crying.C. Laughing.D. Sleeping.55. What is the best title for this passage?A. Smiles can fight coldsB. Cause of colds foundC. The danger of coldsD. How people get sick第二部分：主观题五、单词填空：（每空一词，10%）56. We all wish Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian have a happy _______ (婚姻) . marriage57.

I was too raising them to grow a garden．Money was tight (拮据)，as well as time．Often when my children were little，one of them would want something expensive．And I'd have to say,“Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t on trees，you know．”，all five got through high school and college (大学) and were off on their own．I started thinking again about having a garden．Then，one morning on Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen．Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a tree，planted right in my garden．I thought it be a weeping willow (垂柳)，because I saw things around on all its branches (树枝)．Then I put my on and I couldn’t believe what I saw．There was a money tree in my garden!I went outside to have a look．It was． ! There were dollar bills all over that tree．There was also a note in the tree．It ，“We all love you，Morn．”16．A．talking about B．thinking of C．preparing for D．1ooking after 17．A．tired B．careless C．busy D．poor 18．A．grow B．make C．come D．get 19．A．Clearly B．Naturally C．Certainly D．Finally 20．A．money B．new C．young D．tall 21．A．should B．can C．must D．need 22．A．blowing B．turning C．producing D．appearing 23．A．overcoat B．hat C．shoes D．glasses 24．A．strange B．true C．special D．perfect 25．A．says B．writes C．shows D．describes三、阅读单选The brain receives information from the outside world through the sensory (感觉的) system．This information is collected through the eyes，the nose，the ears，the mouth and the surface of the body．It is then kept in the memory．In fact，scientists do not completely understand how the memory works but they are not sure how much information that the human brain can store．Also，it appears that the information is never lost．Very old people often remember things that happened in their childhood which have not come to their mindsfor sixty to seventy years．If we have kept something in our memory, it is here．But can we get it out again and use it? That is the difficulty．Some of the information we receive only goes into the Short Term Memory．We only keep this information for a minute or two，then we lose it．This temporary (暂时的) memory is very important in our thinking and understanding．It is used，for example，when you try to remember a name that someone told you a moment ago or a telephone number that you are going to dial (拨)．School children in class often seem to use the Short Term Memory if they are not interested in the subject．When school teachers describe this，they say that thingsgo“in one ear and out in the other”．But if a child is interested，he puts the information in his Long Term Memory, and he never loses it．Long Term Memory depends heavily on our understanding of the meaning of the information we receive．26．Information is collected through the of sight，hearing，smell，taste and touch．A．sense B．experienceC．practice D．brightness27．V ery old people can remember something happened ．A．recently B．about seventy years agoC．in their thirties D．in their classroom28．If a school child is not interested in a subject，．A．he forgets what he learns quicklyB．he memorizes what he learns quicklyC．he forgets what he learns slowlyD．he memorizes what he learns slowly29．The better we understand the meaning of the information，．A．the more information we can put in our Short Term MemoryB．the more information we can put in our Long Term MemoryC．the less information．we can put in our Short Term MemoryD．the less information we can put，in our Long Term MemoryIn most parts of the world，many students help their schools make less pollution．Theyjoin“environment clubs”．In an environment club，people work together to make our environment clean．Here are some things students often do．●No-garbage (垃圾) lunches．How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubsask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again．Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!●No-car day．On a no—car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember：Walk，jump，bike or run．Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!●Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste (浪费) twenty to forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs，students mend those broken toilets．We love our environment．Let’s work together to make it clean．30．Environment clubs ask students ．A．to run to school every dayB．to take exercise every dayC．not to forget to take carsD．not to throw away lunch bags31．On a no-car day, will take a car to schoo1．A．both students and teachers B．only studentsC．neither students nor teachers D．only teachers32．After students mend toilets，they save ．A．a small river B．a clubC．a lot of water D．a toilet33．The writer wrote the passage to ask students to ．A．clean schools B．make less pollutionC．join clubs D．help teachersEvery object has weight．But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object．If the top of ail object is heavier than its bottom (底部)，it will fall over easily．We say that its center of gravity (重力) is high．But if the bottom is heavier, it won’t fall easily, Then we say that its center of gravity is low．Look at the first picture．This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above the line of its bottom (AB)．Now look at the second picture．There is some heavy iron (铁) in the bottom of this box．Itwill not fall，because its center of gravity is above its bottom．34．If the bottom of an object is its top，it will fall over easily．A．1ighter than B．heavier thanC．no heavier than D．as heavy as35．Please point out which box will not fall．A．B．C．D．36．The reason why the Leaning Tower of Pisa does not fall is that ．A．the top of the tower is heavier than its bottomB．the bottom of the tower is not heavier than its topC．its center of gravity is still above the line of its bottomD．its center of gravity is not above the line of its bottomNo one call change the weather．Nobody can control the weather．But if we read correctly the signs around us，we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be．This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting．For many centuries and in all countries，people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting．Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain．Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints hurt．Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming，but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way．If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sigh that the weather will become clear and fine．Such rainbows come in the evening．If the stars twinkle clearly at night，then fine weather will continue．If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm．If thesunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine．If a rainbow appears in the morning，rainy weather will probably come．Most of the above saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting。

situations．Love plays an important role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with

were worried，that was your brain again!And when your parents didn't allow you to go to that cool party，you were angry．That feeling，just like the others，came from your brain too，or rather a small almond﹣shaped section of cells which is hard at work whenever you feel an emotion．Some emotions are seen as good，like happiness，and others are seen as bad，likeanger and sadness，but actually，all emotions are good because they are our natural reaction to situations and they are part of what makes us human．Wouldn't it be strange if someone stole your bicycle and you didn't feel angry？Our emotions allow us to show our actions to situations and help us deal with them．But that doesn't mean to say that we should act any way we want．After all，it wouldn't be a good idea to jump for joy when you learn you have passed your exam just as your best friend next to you finds out that he has failed．Similarly，if you are angry，it is not OK to shout at someone，or even worse，hit them．But it is OK to allow yourself to have those feelings．The feelings are natural．It is our actions that we must control．48．Which part of our body controls our emotions？49．Why are all emotions good？50．Can we control our actions？What do you think would happen if we don't control our actions？．六、根据中文或上下文填入适当的单词，每空一词（共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）28．（1分）Jack's father likes eating fruit very much，（尤其）watermelons．29．（1分）Dr．Bethune，with

package．This package includes happiness and sadness，failure and success，hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations．Love plays an important role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care，they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad．But we always tend to take this for granted （认为理所应当）．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others'feelings．Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other's face gives a certain level of fulfillment（成就）．Peace of mind makes you feel happy．No mind is happy without peace．We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad．Sadness comes from the death of a loved one or the failure．But all of these things will pass away．Failure is the way to success，and it helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money，fame，pride and self﹣respect．Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day．Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control．Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be bright or dull．So what we can choose is to work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．43．In which section can readers probably read the passage？AA．EducationB．TravelC．LifestylesD．Business44．In the passage，the author compares life to A．A．packageB．happiness
