Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed $14 billion in cuts, which means cuts to parks, prisons, and yes, education. For our school district that figure translates to $12 million. We must have planned cuts in place before June 30.We have been meeting with representatives of all the unions and management staff and a community-based budget committee to talk about way s of making budget cuts. We created a special link on the district website to provide information on budget cuts across the county. I’ve produced two videos, also placed on the special “Budget Update” link on the website. These videos have outlined what we’re doing to look at all programs across the district in our efforts to save money. We’re beginning a campaign where we’re going to encourage all of our employ ees and parents to write, call, and email their legislators (立法委员) to spare education from big cuts.Despite the efforts we made to keep the cuts as far away from classroom as possible, we know we will ha ve some serious decisions to make. With 87% of our budget going to employee salaries and benefits, we know these cuts may affect people. We’re hoping that those thinking of retiring will tell us soon so that we can also place people in those positions, if possible. We’re hoping that we can place people into open positions.These conversations are not easy. I promise you, however, that we will be honest and open with you — thatwe will share with y ou all the information that was considered in making decisions.Thank you for all y ou do for the students of our school district.Sincerely,Jesus M Gandara, Ed. D.Superintendent63. The letter is probably written by a(n) ___________.A. teacherB. administratorC. parentD. governor64. Wha t does the writer mean by “keep cuts as far away from classroom as possible”?A. Avoid talking about the problem in the classrooms.B. Spend the same amount of money building classrooms.C. Protect teachers and students from being affected.D. Keep the same number of students in the district.65. The efforts made by the district include the following EXCEPT __________.A. meeting different people concernedB. providing information on the district websiteC. calling on teachers and parents to get involvedD. forcing people to retire early66. This letter is mainly to __________.A. keep the employ ees informed about the budget cutsB. encourage people to join in the campaignC. warn people that they may lose their jobsD. thank the teachers for what they have done for the studentsDExperts have long supposed that the Red Planet was once home to water some two billion y ears ago, but now a team of Canadian and US researchers say they’ve found hard evidence to support the theory – a discovery certain to heat up discussion on whether Mars once supported life.The researchers’ study say s the “ragged, kilometer – high and undulating (起伏的)” features on the Martian surface are in fact shorelines of massive ancient oceans that once covered a third of the planet’s surface.“It shows that there were shorelines and … that Mars, at one time, had massive standing bodies of water that we would call oceans. It was a blue planet. It was a blue planet early in its history, and these were not small pools,” said Jerry Mitrovica, a University of Toronto geophysicist involved in the study.Because the study did not clearly involve biological issues, neither scientist wished to speculate (推测) on the implications (暗示) their findings may have regarding the existence of life – ancient or current – on Mars. But the study’s lead author, T ay lor Perron of Harvard University acknowledged that “liquid water does seem to be a basic requirement for li fe as we know it on Earth.”Perron said the study further shows it’s mathematically impossible for the entire Martian water supply to have been lost to space, and much of it may still be underground. So the next step in terms of research will be to figure out where the water has gone. By pointing out where the bodies of water might have been located, it will give scientists a good “target” in terms of where to concentrate exploration efforts.67. The underlined word “hard” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .A. trueB. firmC. difficultD. unkind68. According to the passage, the shorelines on Mars .A. now are still ly ing there with waterB. will bring hot discussion about life on MarsC. will remain to be proved by scientistsD. look ragged and extend kilometers long69. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. man may find underground water on MarsB. water on Mars was completely lost into spaceC. scientists have located the position of water on MarsD. scientists’ main target is to analyze water on Mars70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Ancient life exists on Mars.B. Small pools are found on Mars.C. Another sign of life is found on Mars.D. Scientists find shorelines on Mars.第二节阅读填空题__71__ _When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. 72 Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.___73_ Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, ly ing, stealing and so on. ___74__Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.____75____A. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great helpB. Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of.C. We ought to keep from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves andothers.D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habits.F. These are all easily formed habits.G. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.答案:71 72 73 74 75第二节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)Helen was a twenty-y ears-old girl.

She taught me to notice those whom others ignore.The railroad tracks were within a mile of our house. Beggars frequently would knock at the doors in our neighborhood in summer asking for food. They were often turned away. Others simply ignored the knocks.My mum alway s went to the door smiling. She would invite them to stay and have something to eat. She would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch(走廊). There was a nice view into the flower gardens, and it was cool even on the hottest day s.She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company. She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert. Usually she sent a packed lunch with them when they were ready to go, too. Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who asked about work.She listened to those who wanted to talk. She never asked what would lead them to be in thi s difficult situation. It did not matter. She saw only the need. Some thought she did too much for them. She would say, “In the depression(萧条时期) when my father was searching around for any work to feed us, thoughtful people fed him. I am just repay ing their kindness. I cannot offer them money, but I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged,” My mum was quite a lady.36.

I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but Imajored in broadcasting news.How did you finally become a weatherman?My first job in the early 1980s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and became interested in them.Back then, how did you forecast weather?Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather sy stem might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar (sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.Any advice for children who’d lik e to become weather scientists?To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answ ers. After all, if we can’t foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists (weather scientists) will unlock many of Earth’s weather secrets. So get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology in college.Thanks, Sam.40.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their association—the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and the sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary sty le.Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey (表达,传递)his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they make our speech silly and vulgar.(粗俗的)48. Which of the following about a real poet is NOT true?A. He is less than a master of words.B. His sty le is alway s charming.C. His poem can move men to tears.D. He can express his ideas in words that sing like music.49. Where does the real power of the words come from?A. From the words themselves.B. From their characteristics.C. From their curiosity.D. From their association.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The importance of choosing words.B. Where the real power of words come from.C. What great writers are like.D. We should learn to choose words carefully.第二节E51 . It has been used as a product full of nutrition.

生词提示:中国式过马路:Chinese style of crossing road 红绿灯:traffic light 参考范文:The picture shows what the Chinese style of crossing the street is. It is clear that some pedestrians tend to run the red light in groups when crossing the street. This phenomenon has attracted widespread concern in China.There are two main reasons behind this phenomenon. Some people are always in a hurry, so they ignore the traffic signal to save time. Others lack safety awareness,thinking drivers have to stop because so many people cross the street together.Actually running the red light is very dangerous because it may lead to more traffic jams and accidents. I hope immediate measures should be taken to prevent this bad behavior. First, the public should beeducated to follow the traffic rules. Second, more overpasses should be builtto make it easy to cross the street. Besides, whoever breaks the traffic rules shouldbe severely punished. By doing so, we will be able to get around safely.2013高考英语书面表达押题:中国式过马路(2)用英语写一篇150词左右的短文,向某英语报社投稿。

It37 to be someone you have never 38 those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with fora long time.” That doesn’t 39 like a very tough assignment, 40 you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were 41 in the generation of men that were taught that expressing emotions is not “macho (男子汉气概的).” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done 42 this was a very threatening assignment for some.At the 43 of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to 44 what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the 45 to volunteer, as was usually the 46 , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit 47 . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, “Dennis. I was quite 48 with you last week when you gave us the assignment. I didn’t think that I had 49 to say those words to and 50 , who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience (良知) started talking to me. It was telling me that I 51 exactly whoI needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated 52 and really never resolved it since that one.

From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or caf6s rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offera wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.56. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______.A. develop closer relationsB. share the same cultureC. get to know each otherD. keep each other company57. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD. even talk and silence can be culturally different58. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By sharing different ways of life.B. By accepting different habits.C. By recognizing different values.D. By speaking each other' s languages.59. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. Cross-Cultural Differences.C. How to Understand Each Other.D. How to Build Up a Relationship.BWe can achieve knowledge either actively or passively(被动地). We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in theclassroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.60. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.A. doing a medical experimentB. solving a math problemC. visiting an exhibitionD. doing scientific reasoning61. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.A. active learningB. knowledgeC. communicationD. passive learning62. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.A. a message may be changed when being passed onB. a message should be delivered in different waysC. people may have problems with their sense of hearingD. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor63. What can we infer from the passage?A. Active learning is less important.B. Passive learning may not be reliable.C. Active learning occurs more frequently.D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.CVolunteers, as an essential part of a successful world exposition, are a major channel for the public to participate in, serve and share the world exposition and a means to showcase the image of the host country and city.

If I went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound.Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly —tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.67. The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _______.A. spend their free timeB. play golf and other sportsC. avoid doing their schoolworkD. keep away from their parents68. What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?A. The activities in the woods were well planned.B. Human history is not the result of exploration.C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly.69. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A. calmB. doubtfulC. seriousD. optimistic70. How does the author feel about his childhood?A. Happy but short.B. Lonely but memorable.C. Boring and meaningless.D. Long and unforgettable.On a typical hot August day in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Zeng Demei, a retired worker in his seventies, hurries down a busy street.In his hand is a black leather bag.Zeng opens his bag, taking out two forms. 71_____.Each of the forms contains detailed information of a student.On his arrival two hours later a woman greets him and leads him to her office where another man is waiting.They are the two village officials.They inspect the forms handed to them by Zeng and immediately recognize the girls. 72 _____ ?

Y ou don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control y our behaviour, but when you’re asleep, y our sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. Y ou don’t like to upset people, so you never express y our real feelings. Y ou’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. Y ou worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. Y ou’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. Y ou usually live for today not fo r tomorrow. This means that y ou enjoy having a good time.If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. Y ou have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and y ou don’t normally like meeting people. Y ou prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. Y ou have a confident personality. Y ou sometimes feel anxious, but y ou don’t often get depressed.Y ou alway s say what you think even if it annoys people.56.According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.A.only in a normal nightB.only when you go to sleepC.only when y ou refuse to show yourself to the worldD.only when y ou change sleeping position57.Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up.

It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Pare nts surrounded the play ground, offering encouragement.With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!”echoing(回响)across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted(沸腾). O’ Donnel had scored!Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. Y ou see, Mickey has Down syndrome(综合症)and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing play ers when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted,“I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!”For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting,“Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!”Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied,“It was a tie. Everybody won.”59.The underlined word “hush” in paragraph 3 means ______.A.cheer B.cry C.laughter D.silence60.What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?A.The result of the match would fail his son.B.His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.C.Mickey would again hug the opposing players.D.His son would understand Mickey’s wrong goal.61.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.both teams liked and respected Mickey.B.both teams were thankful to Mickey for his goal.C.Mickey didn’t mind though his goal was wrong.D.Mickey was a kind-hearted boy and hoped everybody won.62.The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ______.A.to tell a joke to make readers laugh.B.to suggest we should not mind losing .C.to show enjoying a game is more than winning a game.D.to present his son’s fine qualities of understanding othersCPocket T ape-Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.1)Pearlcorder S702 $64This simple model at the bottom of the Oly mpus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording.

Weight:240g.2)Sony M9 $49.95Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise.

Weight: 195g.3)Sony M400 $115Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use . Recording was good but machine noise lost points. T ape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g.4)Imperial OEM. MC $29.95Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.5)Philips 585 $80Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation.

D.The record button makes a noise.“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?Picture this: Y ou’re rushing to finish y our homework on the computer. Your mobile phone ri ngs, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and T omas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Ly n, said, “It was hard phy sically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic.“The more things y ou have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said.The boy s said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy(时髦的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”Here are some simple way s to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Don’t be available all the time. T urn off your mobile phone certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoy ing.67.The passage is mainly about .A.problem with technologyB.improvements of our life with technologyC.the important roles technology plays in our everyday lifeD.major changes which will be likely to happen to technology68.The writer quoted(引用)what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to .A.share a truth about lifeB.tell us what life was like long time agoC.make us wonder what causes such a thing to happenD.point out that y ou experience some big problems and they may be the same69.Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940’s house? Because .A.they liked to live simple livesB.they were curious about how people lived without modern inventionsC.they were troubled by modern inventionsD.living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them70.What do y ou think the underlined word “available” in the first suggestion offered by the writer mean?A.busy on line B.freeC.be able to D.be found by others.第二节Ancient Rome was one of the world’s most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago.
