In fact, he didn’t even seem like the same person.When I first knew Bill, back in college, he was one of the most easygoing, carefree people I had ever met. He was always ready to have a party. He thought37 of going out for pizza at three o’clock in the morning or driving 50 miles to see an old movie he really liked. Bill and I were in the same dormitory in college, and life was never 38 when he was around. With him there was one wild adventure after another. Sometimes I wonder how we ever 39 to study for our exams.Last weekend I was in Houston on busi ness, and I 40 Bill in the bar at the hotel. 41 , I wasn’t even sure it w as he. Was this short-haired, conservatively dressed businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I approached him, but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He 42 most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the 43 thing Bill cared about were possessions. Now they seemed to be his major 44 . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow I never imagined Bill changing so much. My 45 of him remained the one I had formed at the time when we were college students together.I suppose it’s foolish to expect people to remain the same, especially 46 I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he 47 the same way about me.36. A. behavior B. memory C. change D. character37. A. nothing B. much C. none D. most38.

Some understanding 51 the emotions of Hong Kong's youth, however, has come from the work of Dr. Jeffrey Day －at the University of Hong Kong. His surveyof young people does not focus, for example, on 52 many drugs they take－but tries to answer the question why.Dr. Day hopes the results, which 53 plans to explain in full next week, will reveal 54 troubles－as well as pleases－today's high-school students. Conclusions will be passed on not only to government departments 55 back to the schools which took part.PART THREE READING COMPREHENSIONDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AIn this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there isno shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8－year－old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created b y previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again？That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her. “Don’t you want to win again? ”“No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously（自发地）told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly guided by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co－opting（借用）my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.56. What do we learn from the first paragraph？A. A lot of distractions(娱乐，消遣) compete for children’s time nowadays.B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.57. What did the author say about her own writing experience？A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.58. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contes t？A. She had won a prize in the previous contest.B. She wanted to share her stories with readers.C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.59. The author took great pains to refine(改进) her daughter’s stories because________.A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writerB. she w as afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writingC. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchD. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance60. What’s the author’s advice for parents？A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue(追求).BNext week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving feasts, many other Americans will go without. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 12 million households lack enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year－including holidays.Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country－one of the world’s wealthiest－yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year, more than one-quarter of our total supply.Reducing this improper distribution of resources is a goal of America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s largest domestic hun ger－relief organization.Last year, it distributed nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need.America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that gather food from growers, processors, grocery stores and restaurants. In turn, the network distributes food to some 50,000 soup kitchens, homeless shelters and old people’s ce nters in every county of every state.A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of donors(捐赠) to hundreds of small, nonprofit organizations. Until a few years ago, America’s Second Harvest lacked any effective way to manage their inventory(库存). Without accurate and timely information, soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to spoil in loading places.In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system－Ceres. It is software designed specifically for hunger－relief operations. It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to track food from donation to distribution.Ceres has helped reduce the spoiling of food and improve distribution. An evaluation found that the software streamlined food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone.With more accurate and timely reports, Ceres saves time, flees staff members to focus on finding new donors, and promises more efficient use of donations.Hunger in America remains a troubling social problem. Technology alone cannot solve i t. But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference－and helping more Americans to join in the feast.61. According to the passage, the total supply of food in America every year reaches ________.A. 12 million poundsB. more than 12 million poundsC. almost 100 billion poundsD. about 400 billion pounds62. By “this improper distribution of resources” in Paragraph 3, the writermeans that manyAmericans lack enough food while ________.A. their country is one of the richest in the worldB. much food is left to spoilC. others waste too much foodD. others consume too much food63. A problem for America’s Second Harvest a few years ago wasthat ________.A. it did not get enough food from donorsB. it did not have a large enough networkC. it did not have enough soup kitchensD. it did not have a good way to manage its food stock64. With Ceres, America’s Second H arvest is now ableto ________.A. enlarge its networkB. prevent food from spoilingC. give out food more efficientlyD. solve the hunger problem in the country65. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. technology can help in the fight against hungerB. America’s Second Harvest has found more donorsC. America’s Second Harvest promotes the development of technologyD. hunger is a problem even in the wealthiest country in the worldCThe January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified(例证) how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable(不破坏生态平衡的) fabrics(织物) for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic(有机的；绿色的) fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organiccotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven(编织) into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents(相等的东西).Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn. Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.66. What is said about FutureFashion?A. It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable(耐用的).67. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organicis that________.A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materialsB. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materialsC. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materialsD. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available68. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion________.A. can attend various trade shows freeB. are readily recognized by the fashion worldC. can buy organic cotton at favorable pricesD. are gaining more and more support69. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?A. She doesn’t seem to care about it.B. She doesn’t think it is sustainable.C. She is doubtful of its practical value.D. She is very much opp osed to the idea.70. What does the author think of green fashion?A. Green products will soon go mainstream.B. It has a very promising future.C. Consumers have the fi nal say.D. It will appeal more to young people.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirections: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Eurail Passes are train Passes for flexible rail travel throughout Europe. There are four main types of Eurail Passes: the Eurail Global Pass, the Eurail Select Pass, The Eurail Regional Pass and the Eurail One Country Pass.There’s always a Pass which fits your wishes.If you’re planning to visit many countries in Europe in one long trip, the Eurail Global Pass is the way to go. The Eurail Global Pass is the standard pass, available for unlimited first-class travel in 21 countries for consecutive (连续的) periods ranging from 15 days to three months. This is a good option for people who want to spend a few days in each place they visit.While Eurail Global Passes are ideal for extensive multi-nation transportation, travelers who are visiting only three to five countries may be better off purchasing a Eurail Select Pass. With this flexible “designer” pass, you may choose three, four or five bordering European countries for a duration of five to ten travel days within a two-month period. The 23 different countries available allow for hundreds of different combinations. The travel days included with your Eurail Select Pass may be used either consecutively or non-consecutively.If you just want to focus on a specific region or country of Europe and learn more about the local culture, you may wish to consider the Eurail Regional Pass or Eurail One Country Pass. The Eurail Regional Pass allows you to visit two bordering European countries with unlimited rail travel for 3 up to 10 days within 2 months, and there are currently 20 combinations to choose from, such as Spain-Portugal, France-Switzerland and Belgium-Luxemburg. And you may enjoy, experience and explore one country in depth with the Eurail One Country Pass, which is also available for unlimited rail travel for 3 up to 10 days within 2 months.Before buying the Eurail Pass, you should know some tips to enjoy discounts and save money. Traveling with at least one companion? Try a Saver pass. The Eurail Saver Pass allows 2 to 5 passengers to travel together at all times under one single pass which is about 15% cheaper than the regular Eurail Pass. The Eurail Youth Pass offers 35% discount for passengers who are 25 or younger. It essentially provides the same benefits as the regular Eurail Pass, except that you travel in second class rather than first class. Young travelers can also travel in first class with an Adult Pass, but then there is no discount.Title: 71Saver Pass 78 2 - 5passengers1)passengerstravelingtogetherat alltimes2)one singlepassYouth Pass 35% 791)the samebenefits2) 80 [来源:学科网]SECTON BDirections: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups:this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.81.
