AAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the g round. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble.” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention.’’ she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital.” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith.” she says. “A couple more s trikes. Alexis.” said her father. “You can do it.”Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the ne arest hospital. After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”1. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A. She was driving home.B. She was resting on the road.C. She was taking exercise.D. She was feeding wild animals.2.

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

AThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for a ll the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then an old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the Kunlun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.1.Which of the following words can not describe the baby ______.A.toothlessB. hairlessC. unusualD. small2.The old doctor wanted to keep the king’s daughter for twelve years because ______.A. they needed a lot of different plantsB. they need a lot of different mineralsC. this would give the baby time to grow upD. they had to dig a mineral the snow melted for the second time3.______ the king wouldn’t have given them expensive presents.A. If doctors had not brought back a beautiful girlB. If the daughter were still a monster twelve years laterC. If the doctors had not been able to prepare the magic medicineD. If the doctors hadn’t found the mineralsBHave you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)? Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation---in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I thought it was annoying.Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.It sure beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.4. According to the passage, the purpose of the author’s train ride was ______.A. to do businessB. to see her childrenC. to visit places of interestD. to see her old friends5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3?A. Disappointed.B. Satisfied.C. Worried.D. Pleased.6. Which of the following is TRUE about the old lady sitting next to the author?A.She is too old to drive now.B.She does not like to take trains.C.Although she is old, she has a good memory.D.Her daughters live far away from her home.7. In the author’s opinion, on the train Amtrak ______.A.the services are quite goodB. the food is terribly expensiveC. all the passengers are politeD. all the passengers are AmericanCForgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probablydon’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk(绿巨人) get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Fo rgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath o r thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.8. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.A. by raising his own examplesB. by mentioning some studiesC. based on his own experienceD. by mentioning some typical patients9. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.A. show how to control one’s temperB. introduce a famous expertC. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon facesD. show that anger and hatred can result in physical and mental harm10. People who are able to forgive may suffer less .A. stressB. depressionC. sleeping troubleD. all the above11. The best title for this passage is probably _______.A. ForgivenessB. Forgiveness Is Good for HealthC. A Secret to Keeping HealthD. Anger Is Bad for HealthDWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French wouldhave stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.12．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.B．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.C．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.D．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.13．According to Mireille Guiliano, it is important .A．rarely to go to the gym .B．to know when to stop eatingC．to suggest how to avoid foodD．to go shopping at supermarkets more frequently14．The text is mainly developed(详细阐述) .A．by contrast(对比) B．by spaceC．by process D．by classification(分类)15．Where does this text probably come from?A．TV interview. B．A food advertisement.C．A book review. D．A health report.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”1. All the members work some time every day mainly to ______.A. lead a busy life.B. learn new skills of farming;C. get used to the life on the farmsD. find value and pleasure in work2. The last paragraph shows that the teenager thinks his experience in the program is______.A. unpleasantB. tiringC. helpfulD. boring3. The best title for the passage is ______.A. The rules of living togetherB. Life in New York StateC. Teenagers in the special groupD. Free hours in the special work group2.（10分）BI was born disabled．A difficult birth, feet first, my head stuck．By my first birthday, I couldn’t stand or walk．When I was three, the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy（脑瘫）．A loss of oxygen （氧气）to my brain had destroyed brain signals to the right side of my body．But no son of my dad’s was going to be disabled．Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed, my dad placed m e on the bedroom floor to exercise my right leg．The muscles were shrunk（收缩）and twisted（缠绕）together．Back and forth up and down, my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape．But my dad’s exercise of passion didn’t stop there．For my 13th birthday, he threw me a special party. When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it was a set of boxing gloves．We put them on．My dad kept on beating me mercilessly（无情地）．Each time I tried to get up,leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw. I begged him to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t picked for Little League. Two weeks later, Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid played. Dad coached us and made me a pitcher（棒球投手）.The power of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more. In high school, I became a football star.In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy after all. He explained how and where the doctor’s forceps（镊子）at birth had damaged my brain.My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago. But all that c ounts is the bottom line. After all his madness, on this Father’s Day, like every Father’s Day, I’m no longer disabled.4. What caused the author’s disability?A. A failed operation.B. The doctor’s forceps.C. An accident in a game.D. Shrunken and twisted muscles.5. What do we learn from the passage?A. The author has a talent for boxing.B. The author became a baseball star with the help of his father.C. The author achieved a lot thanks to his father’s love.D. The author doesn’t think his father should be so strict with him.6. Paragraph 3 suggests that the author’s father____.A. couldn’t accept the truth that his son was disabledB. believed his son was a normal childC. blamed the doctors for his son’s disabilityD. wouldn’t give up hope easily7. The author wrote the passage to ____.A. give advice to the parents of disabled childrenB. encourage disabled childrenC. show the difficulty the disabled faceD. remember his father3.（7.5分）CAccording to a survey (调查) by CIF, there's room for improvement all over Britain.Cleaning our home, love or hate it, is one job you have to work on. But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (炉), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.BATHROOM25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men said They never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone - a quarter of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.KITCHEN36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (强烈的对比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.BEDROOM18% believe cleamng starts here: the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (拥抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.LIVINGROOM32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.★SHIFT (除掉)' THE DIRT WITH CIF! *It's no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF s top tips:●Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt (喷) with CIF bathroom spray (喷剂) once a week.●Stainless steel (不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.●Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烧烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evemngs. Perfect!8. The main purpose of this passage is to _______.A. tell us the results of a certain surveyB. advertise a certain cleaning productC. show us which is the hardest job at homeD. advise men to do more cleaning housework9. According to the survey, ______ spend the most time cleaning their homes.A. people in WalesB. people in the northwestC. people in the southeastD. people in the northeast10. CIF in the passage probably refers to ______.A. an organization doing research on houseworkB. some experts who give advice on doing houseworkC. a company providing advice and products on cleaningD. a TV show about providing cleaning products二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How did you learn how to ride your bike？Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot．11 No one is born to know how to study．You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them．12 Do you have trouble paying attention in class？Are you sitting next to a loud person？Is it hard to see the board？Make sure you're sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention．Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes．13 ．Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make a homework night no fun! It also makes it hard to do your best．We're all guilty of putting things off sometimes．One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead．Break it up! When there's a lot to study，it can help to break things into chunks（大块）．Let's say you have a test on 20 spelling words．Instead of thinking about all of the words at once，try breaking them down into a five-word chunks and working on one or two different chunks each night．Ask for help．You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material．14 You can check yourself by reading through your notes．Does it all make sense？If not，ask your teacher to go over it with you．Get a good night's sleep．So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan-but suddenly you can't remember anything，not even 2+2! Don't worry．Your brain needs time to digest（消化）all the information you've given it．Try to get a good night's sleep．15A．Plan ahead for tests and projects．B．Study regularly instead of just the night before．C．You can learn how to study in much the same way．D．You'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning．E．If you're studying math or science，do some practice problems．F．Be sure to ask your teacher for help if you're confused about something．G．Good studying starts in class．三、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）5.（30分） I was a person who always felt desperate before.

My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully. Immediately, I was grateful that I had donethat_______It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A．He was lucky to learn the lesson.B．It was a good idea to do shopping that day.C．He was right to pick up the paper.D．It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.25．What information did the writer get from the paper?A．The woman's license plate number.B．The woman's phone number.C．The woman's name.D．The woman's address.26．How did the woman lose the receipt?A．She forgot where she had put it.B．A strong wind blew it away.C．It fell onto the floor.D．She left it in the parking lot.27．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Lesson I Will Never Forget B．Never Lose Heart or Give upC．Little Things Still Mean a Lot D．Think Carefully Before You Act3.（8分）People like different kinds of vacations. Some go camping. They swim, fish, cook over a fire and sleep outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahal or the Louvre.Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don’t want to be “tourists”. They want to have an adventure—a surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this? Some travel companies and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Others work with animals. Others learn about people of the past.Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volunteers is leaving from Murmansk, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He’s worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need ski sixteen kilometers every day.Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphins can follow orders such as “Bring me the large ball”. Theyalso understand opposites. How much more can they understand? It will be exciting to learn about these intelligent animals. Another study trip goes to Washington State and follows orcas. We call orcas “Killer Whale” , but they’ re really dolphins—the largest kind of dolphin. These beautiful animals travel together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earthwatch is studying how this happens.Are you interested in history? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there, on Santorini. This explosion was more terrible than Krakatoa or Mount Saint Helens.

It is known for its local carnival（狂欢节）organized in February.The main part of the carnival is the famous Battle of the Oranges (La battaglia delle arance). The Battle includes nine teams who throw oranges at each other during three carnival days – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.Oranges were not always used in the battle. In the middle ages people used beans. Twice ayear the local feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, as sign of rebellion, threw them out of their homes. Later beans became part of carnival as sort of “ammunition” for throwing at people passing by.It is still not known why exactly people started using oranges. It is believed that the origin for this tradition is in the mid 19th century. The legend says that local girls, standing on balconies, started to throw some oranges, together with confetti, lupins(白羽扇豆)and flowers, onto the parade carriages. The girls actually wanted to draw attention of boys in the carriages. Boys “answered” by throwing some objects back at girls. Little battle started that way.Battle of the Oranges got strict rules after the World War II. The battles are organized on town's squares. The battles are fought between teams in carriages (symbolizing local the guards of local tyrant(恶霸)) and the teams walking beside those carriages (symbolizing rebellious people of Ivrea).Oranges for the event are brought from the island of Sicily. The oranges used are of low quality, not suitable for humans. About 270,000 kilograms of oranges are used each year.The carnival ends with a silent march on the night of “Fat Tuesday”. The Carnival "general" says goodbye to everyone with the phrase "See you next Fat Thursday at 1 p.m."Special prizes are awarded to three best foot teams, three carriages drawn by two horses and three carriages drawn by four horses. Different elements are judged like for example throwing ability, fair play or decoration of carriages.32．The word "ammunition" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________.

Sometimes you get the interview, but don't quite seem to land the job because you don't have related experience. Don't despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge.★ Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job.★ Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it's perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It's worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.★ When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.★ Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.★ Don't be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified—if there's room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won't be long before you're in the job you want.★ Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.★ When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.★ Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.Good luck!56．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the failing to find a job?A．The global financial crisis. B．The serious competence.C．Your lack in related skills. D．Your lack in related experience.57．What's the author's advice on the resume?A．To read it over several times by yourself.

I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this. I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.60. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She went on a hot air balloon rideB. She entered a competitionC. She flew an airplaneD. She moved into a retirement community61 The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. make her argument persuasive62. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. ExcitedB. ScaredC. NervousD. Regretful63. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The wonderful viewB. The one-minute free fallC. The company of JayD. The beautiful cloudsCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. A dvertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.64. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsC. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin diseaseof the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Uninterested.B. Curious.C. Afraid. D Approving.66. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A To present the change of views on dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To stress the role of dirt.第二部份: 从后面所给的5个句子当选出可以填在文中空缺部份的选项,其中有一个句子是多余的If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. __67___Dr. Henry Winkle says, in a recent newspaper article e ntitled Stress and Sleep, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’ s worrying us.”So, what is a good nig ht’s sleep? __68____ Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, and sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.__69____. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. ___70___ “When you put the light out,” Dr. Winkle says, “concent rate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”A People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bedB Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is importantC Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot.D A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awakeE When you w ake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.第三部份: 写作第一节: 按照汉语意思将句子补充完整71 同时,在那些藏羚羊毛披肩的国家,警方开始严厉冲击羊毛披肩的销售者.Meanwhile, in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are _____ _____ ____the dealers.72 有钱消费的年轻人的数量在增加The number of young people with money to spend ______ ______ _______ _______73比如,一双耐克运动鞋的价钱可能是一双李宁牌的同类产品价钱的五倍之多.A pair of Nike trainers, for example, could cost _______ _______ _______ ________ ________ _______ as a similar Li Ning product.74但到了20世纪90年代,这种藏羚羊毛披肩在有钱人之间流行开来,成为时尚.But in the 1990s , the shawls ________ _________ ________ among rich people.75持续几个礼拜人们带着面具走在街上,为所欲为而不会被认出.For weeks ________ _______ people walked round the streets wearing masks, doing what they wanted ________ ________ _______第二节:写作.(15分)咱们在电视上常常看到一则广告: 姚明说‘没有生意,就没有杀害’，目的是号召咱们保护野生动物。

And then some went to buy seeds, some began to dig up the ground and others watered it and, in a couple of months, we had a harvest!“Let us have a harvest festival tonight to celebrate,”Mother suggested, “and ask Dad to join us for a taste of our fresh peanuts. What do you say?”We all agreed, of course. Mother cooked the peanuts in a variety of styles and told us to go to the garden for the celebration.The weather was not very good that night but, to our great delight, even Father put in an appearance.“Do you like peanuts?”Father asked.“Yes！”We all answered eagerly.“But who can tell me what is good about peanuts?”“They taste very delicious,”my sister took the lead.“They can be made into oil,”my elder brother followed.“They are inexpensive”, I said.“Almost everyone can afford them and everyone enjoys eating them. I think that's what is good about peanuts.”“In fact, there are quantities of good points of peanuts,”Father said,“but one thing I do appreciate is particularly good about them. Unlike apples, peaches and pomegranates (石榴) that hang their bright and beautiful fruits up on the branches, attracting your admiration, peanuts lie buried in the soil, waiting until they are ripe before letting people dig them up. And you can't tell whether they bear fruits or not just by their fragile stems above ground.”We all agreed and Mother nodded her head, too.“So you should try to be like the peanuts,”Father went on, “because they are neither grand nor beautiful, but useful.”“That is what I expect of you all.”We stayed up late that night, eating all the peanuts Mother had cooked for us. But Father's words remained rooted in my mind till this day.4．How many good points about peanuts are mentioned in this passage?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.5．What did Father want his children to do in the future?A.

By comparison.C. By numbers.D. By pictures.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A. The family was too poor to afford other fruits.B. Father seldom joined them in such activities.C. Father didn't like eating apples or peaches.D. The peanuts are too shy to show their fruits.CThe world's first hydrogenpowered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers on Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state. The new trains will run 100kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers per hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollutionproducing diesel (柴油) trains.The Coradia iLint is designed to run on nonelectrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen with oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a dieselpowered train can run on with a single tank.Hydrogenpowered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2024.The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwabl, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogenpowered trains. She said the move was an important first step in using cleanb urning technologies to reach climate protection goals.Officials say the area's many wind turbines (风力涡轮机) will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be on the rails by 2024.8．Why did Germany build the new trains?A. To replace diesel trains.B. To carry more passengers.C. To make traveling much easier.D. To develop friendship with France.9．What is one advantage of hydrogenpowered trains over diesel trains?A. They run without making any noise.B. They don't use electrical power.C. They cost much less to run.D. They are cheaper to build.10．What can we know about hydrogen trains?A. They are widely used.B. They are environmentally friendly.C. They can stop air pollution.D. They can produce water and oxygen.11．What might be the best title for the text?A. Saving Natural ResourcesB. Efforts to Reduce EmissionsC. The World's First Hydrogen TrainsD. A New Way to Make ElectricityDIt's peak cold and flu season, which means taking a lot of preventative measures. Frequent hand washing is a must, so is avoiding co-workers or friends who are sick. But we humans are not the only animals that change behavior to keep away from diseases, so do ants（蚂蚁）.The researchers observed ants to see their reaction to the presence of a pathogen (病原体).“The nurse ants, who are made of young workers typically, stay inside and take care of the eggs. And the foragers (觅食者) are all the workers at outside of the nest to collect food and defend the nest.”Forager ants are at greater risk of getting exposed to diseases because they leave the safety of the nest. So the researchers sprayed (喷) a common fungus (真菌) on a small group of forager ants and then followed their movements to see the way other ants reacted.“We marked all ants with individual labels（标签）, which carries these two dimensional bar code (二维码) which is automatically detected and recorded using a tracking system.”After the infection, the nurse and forager ants stayed within their groups and interacted less outside of their work group. The researchers also saw that forager ants spent more time outside of the nest. “They increase that amount by 15 percent so by quite a long large amount.”The researchers also measured the amount of fungus on each ant and saw that it was almost completely contained to the foragers group. Some nurse ants and even the Queen did have some amounts of the fungus' spores (孢子) on them but the amount was small enough so that they could easily get rid of them. Not only does the group behavior stop the spread of the fungus, but it allows you to develop immunization. It's sort of improve your immune defenses and protect you against later exposure to the same pathogen.Seems that in their ability to avoid infecting other members of the community, ants may be more advanced than we are.12．How did the researchers conduct the experiment?A. Tracked the ants' movements.B. Cured the infected ants.C. Inspected the immune defenses.D. Separated the nurses from the foragers.13．What would the foragers do after the infection?A. They suffered a lot.B. They spent more time inside of the nest.C. They stayed where they were.D. They interacted with the nurses more.14．What would happen if the ants have the small amount of the fungus' spores?A. They would worsen into a more serious fungus.B. They would strengthen the ants' immune defenses.C. They would spread them to others.D. They would be more sensitive to them.15．What is the best title for the passage?A. How Ants Prevent the FungusB. What We Should Do with the FungusC. How Ants Are Infected with the FungusD. Why Ants Are More Advanced than We Are其次节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction”(减轻体重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead of losing thirty he promised he would.The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. At the end of three months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldn’t go the re more often.After the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going becausehe was the only man there.

Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C. To show that poor people suffered most.D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.CHere we are, afraid of losing what we have all the time, holding on to it so tight that not a soul can touch it. We think by hiding it from the world, it’s hidden and it’s ours. Nothing is. Nothing ever will be. For, nothing ever was.If you think there is anything tha t you have, that’s yours, be it money, a house, a job, or a girlfriend…it’s nothing but an illusion. It’ll all disappear…in one blow. One blow, my man.Here we are, so insecure that we are afraid of re-start-ing our lives, so we just carry on trying to sort out the current mess. The thought that we should give it all up and just start all over-with nothing-might cross our minds some time, sure, but we get scared and we push away anything that scares us.There is nothing I can ever achieve or gain that I cannot lose, in a matter of seconds. You have never gained enough to not be able to lose it all, in just a few minutes. What you think is yours, was never yours and will never be yours. Whatever you make here, you leave here. You came naked and you’re going t o go back naked.So what are you afraid of?Let all be lost. Let them take away everything. As long as you have your heart beating strong, as long as you have your nostrils（鼻孔）working fine, as long as the blood flows in your veins, you will live , you will breathe and you can get it all back…again and again. For , if you can do it once, you can damn well do it again. It’s just a game we play—Life.63. The writer thinks that________.A. only after something is hidden can it be yoursB. nothing can be really yours in factC. if we are not afraid, we won’t lose what we haveD. we should hold on to what we have tightly in life.64. The underlined words“an illusion”in paragraph 2 mean.A. a factB. a realityC. a dreamD. a thought65. From the passage, we can infer ______.A. that living life just like playing a computer gameB. everything can be taken away in lifeC. if you succeed once you can do it foreverD. as long as we live, we can get back everything66. The main idea of the passage is that____________.A. there is nothing to be afraid of losing in lifeB. there is no need to struggle because all will disappearC. we can never get enough in life.D. you can not take anything with you when you die.DMoney is all surrounding us．Every day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip of our tongue．Did you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task．It has up to 65 steps. When the money in circulation（流通）gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new money. The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed. Usually, the old money is burned．The burned money is replaced by new paper money.If old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a mint（造币厂）．Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency （流通货币）．These large sheets are cut into individual bills．The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks．Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture （portraits of statesman and places of interest are favoured）or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks. First, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed. Then, they ask an artist to design the new bill．A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die．The dies are made and put onto large printing machines．Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can have．Along with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special colours．After the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked, and sent off to the banks．67．From the passage we know that ______.A．banks make new money B．it takes 65 procedures to make new moneyC．mints decide what kind of bill is neededD．old money that is not used is forever stored in a special place68．We can infer from the passage that a die is _______.A．something for dead people B．a special machine that prints the moneyC．a special piece of paper that the money is made fromD．a piece of metal that puts the picture on the money69．'Which of the following shows the right order of dealing with new money?①New money is printed in a mint．②Bills are cut from large sheets of special paper．③New money is sent in large amounts to banks．④The government decides to make new money．A．①②③④B．④③②①C．④①③②D．④①②③70．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．The reason for making new money．B．The processes of making a new bill．C．The amount of new money needed．D．Things used to make new money or a new bill．第二节（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分。
