She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.School was difficult for Susan and she was bullied because of her different behaviors. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical idols on the wall and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.One by one the siblings moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an aging mother and a cat. The siblings accused her mother of not expecting more out of Susan. She had seen many professionals and remembered hearing the word “borderline” but didn’t know what it meant. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation from the crowd.When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to compete in the Britain’s Got Talent contest, her siblings tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.“The Woman I Was Born to Be” is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner. The writing is supplemented by photos from her albums.I love this book! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day!There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also inspires us to reach for our dreams — no matter how impossible they may seem to be!36. This passage should be _____.A. a news reportB. a biographyC. an introductionD. a book review37. When Susan was young, _____.A. her mother died of an illnessB. she was fond of musicC. her siblings liked her very muchD. she was envied at school38. According to the passage, which was NOT true?A. Susan tried doing a lot of volunteer work.B. Susan’s mother expected too much out of her.C. Susan’s siblings tried to stop her from competing in the Britain’s Got Talent contest.D. Susan’s performances were well received by the customers in pubs.39. What does the author think of Susan Boyle？Ks5uA. Pitiful and selfless.B. Shy and passive.C. Determined and inspiring.D. Great and generous.BShopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it, the price is a less important consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman immediately produces it, and the business of trying it on is done at once. All being well, the bargain can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then the salesman tries to sell the customer something else-he offers the nearest he can to the thing required. He usually says, “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it on for size? It happens to be the color yo u wanted. ”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual reply is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. ”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? She does so in the opposite way. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion, indeed she considers of great importance what the saleswoman tells her, even what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. Highest in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always trying to find an unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes a great deal of time but gives great joy. Most dress shops supply chairs for the waiting husbands.40. When a man is buying clothes, he ______.A. puts price before qualityB. chooses things that others think suitable for himC. does not mind much the price he has to pay for the right thingsD. buys good quality things, so long as they do not cost too much41. From the passage, we know that in shopping for a jacket ______.A. men like their jackets to be bigger than their sizeB. most men can tell whether it is the right size for themC. men make sure it fits them before buying itD. men don’t worry whether the clothes fit well or not so long as it is the right colour42. When a man cannot get what he wants, he ______.A. buys something of the same colour in a slightly different styleB. usually does not buy anythingC. will try on some other clothes of the same styleD. wastes time in buying something else43. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?A. They welcome suggestions from anyone.B. Women seldom consider buying cheap clothes.C. Women often buy things without thinking.D. They listen to advice but never take it.44. The most obvious difference between men and women shoppers is ______.A. that men do not try clothes on in a shop while women doB. that women bargain for their clothes and men don’tC. that women do their shopping standing up but men do theirs sitting downD. the time they take over buying clothesCWhen Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and juke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere, know his big hits. They love songs like "Hey Porter", "Ring of Fire", and "Folsom Prison Blue".Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hea r—and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek? It's a bullet hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is "Mr Tough Guy". He's an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that—a story. True, years ago he had a "drug habit "for a short time. He "popped" pills. But he never used heroin or other "hard "drugs. Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in song. As for the "bullet hole", it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a "gentle guy", a "generous guy"—anything but a "tough guy". How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the "Indian grandmother", he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the "bullet hole", simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. "They just want to believe it," he says.45. In truth, Johnny Cash . .A. invented the "Indian grandmother"B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence46. In his private life, Johnny Cash is . .A. much wilder than he looksB. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose47. The passage shows us that many people believe .A. only what they seeB. what they are sure is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interestingDFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is aboutboundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonable ness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming, the goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.48. Why does the author compare the parent—teen war to a border conflict?A. both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winnerD. Neither can be put to an end49. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens accuse their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents50. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the other D .get the other to behave properlyELife free to soarOne windy spring day, I observed young people having fun flying their kites. The colorful creations of varied shapes and sizes filled the sky like beautiful birds dancing. __51__ Instead of blowing off, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the strings and the tails kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the strings, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!”They soared beautifully as they fought the restrictions of the strings.__52__.“Free at last,”it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from restrictions simply put it at the mercy of the wind. __53__.It lay powerless in the dirt, blew helplessly along the ground, and stayed lifeless against the first obstruction（障碍物）.__54__.The heaven gives us misfortunes, restrictions, and rules to follow, from which we can grow and gain strength. Restrictions are a necessary counterpart（相对应之物）to the winds of opposition. __55__. Let us each rise to great heights, recognizing that some restrictions that wemay face are actually the steady force that helps us succeed and achieve.A. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.B. As the strong wind blew against the kites, the strings kept them in check.C. We should soar in the sky freely.D. Some people are against the rules so hard that they never achieve their goals.E. We are sometimes like kites.F. The kites like to fly in the charge of the strings.G. It fell to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds.IV. 短文改错（共10小题；第小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。

AI was fortunate to begin my day camp career at Ramaquois as a four-year-old in 1984. I can clearly remember my first bus ride to camp, sitting next to my older sister. Stepping out of the bus, and into a new, strange world, there was no way I could comprehend how important that moment was for me. Ramaquois would become my summer home until this day.My first summer at day camp was definitely a new experience for me. I had never had a “bunk (帆布床)” or a “cubby (小房间)” before. My counselors (指导老师) sort of reminded me of my pre-school teachers, but they wer e…different somehow… I didn’t usually enjoy new things and I was slow to warm up to camp. From what my parents tell me, my counselors were very patient with me. When I needed afriend, a counselor was there. When I needed words of encouragement, they got into conversation with me. When I was too shy to ask, they offered help.I don’t remember the specific moment when things changed, but I know that at some point that summer, things just became different. I couldn’t wait for the bus to arrive in the morning. I feared the weekends. And on the last day of camp, I cried—just like the first day. I was attracted. Ramaquois was a part of my life.I spent 11 summers as a camper at Ramaquois. I had no idea that those summers were just the beginning. I remained at camp for seven years as a counselor, five years a division leader and now I am lucky enough to be an assistant director working with the most unique and talented administrative team in the summer camp industry. I am one of the lucky people that truly enjoys going to work each and every day.21. In the author’s opinion, the first summer at day camp _____.A. gave him a deep impressionB. scared him reallyC. was a surprise for himD. cost him a lot of money22. From the test, we know that the day camp _____.A. was organized by pre-school teachers.B. gave childrensomething to do together with their parents.C. operated Monday through FridayD. was close to the author’s home23. Why did the author cry on the last day of camp?A. He did not enjoy the day camp.B. He felt afraid of the new, strange world.C. He didn’t like to take the bus.D. He loved the day camp.24. The author now is working as ______.A. a camperB. an assistant directorC. a bus driverD. a counselorBRead a lot, I mean a lot! You have to increase your ability for reading. Many students are in the habit of reading only when their exams are approaching while some others read only what they are taught or things that must be read because it is in their curriculum. But listen to me now, I am telling you from my own experience that it is a very bad habit and it is not enough to improve your intelligence.You have to learn and get ready to become versatile in your reading. The fact that you are studying medicine in school does not mean that you should not know one or two things onpolitics.Many people have complained to me that they find it hard to read stuffs like novels but I just shake my head in pity for them because it is obvious they have failed to realize the truth in that wise saying by Margaret Fuller that “today a READER, tomorrow a LEADER!”When you read, you get to “see” so many places and it will be as if you have visited those places in real life. This is because reading will improve your imagination and creativity and understanding. You also get experience from learning about how people dealt with their various problems thereby saving you form going through the pains and difficulties they must have gone through!Reading will also help you in improving your vocabulary because you will certainly start coming across so many new words which you will try as much as possible to get accustomed to with the help of the dictionary! The good thing about increasing your vocabulary is that it will also improve your thinking ability. After all, we think in words and the more words you know, the easier it will become for you to express yourself or your thoughts.And when you read, make sure you read so wide becausethe more you read the more you know and the more you know the more intelligent you can become.25. According to the author, what should students do in terms of reading?A. They needn’t read unless the exams come.B. They should read books about intelligence.C. They must read about politics when their major is medicine.D. They should read as wide as possible.26. The underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.A. interestedB. many-sidedC. contentD. confident27. What is the best title for the passage?A. Increase your ability for readingB. Read wide and improve your vocabularyC. Reading improves your intelligenceD. Reading makes you a leader tomorrow28. What is the benefit of knowing more words?A. You will get used to referring to the dictionary when meeting with new words.B. You will have less difficulty expressing your opinions.C. V ocabulary will improve your creativity.D. You can pass your exams with ease.CPuppies 8 weeks OldListing Began: Nov. 28—22:25State: GACountry: United StatesPhone: (678)772-6853Price: $ USDDescriptionTwo AKC registered puppies.

Egyptian Mau kittensD. puppies 8 weeks oldDEvery dog has his day, and this Friday, June 21, just happens to be a really big one.It’s Take Your Dog to Work Day, your four-legged friend’s turn to prove who is truly the boss. The day was founded in 1999 to celebrate the incredible companionship dogs provide and to encourage animal adoption.Dogs have been having their day for some time now. Everywhere you look, there is some kind of pet-project going on, which for a dog lover like me, is a dream come true.There are dogs starring in reality TV. Doggy day care is in high demand. Big well-known companies like Paul Mitchell, Omaha Steaks, and Harley Davidson have all jumped on the gravy-train (容易挣钱的工作) offering pet products including shampoos, food and clothes. The pet insurance business is booming. And, luxury hotels and apartment buildings are also catering to our furry friends, finally.Make no bones about it, the pet industry is a multi-billion dollar business. According to the American Pet Products Association, 62 percent households in the own a pet. It’s estimated that owners will spend about $ billion on goods and services for their pets this year, up about $2 billion from last year.That’s a small price to pay for the unconditional love and loyalty you get from a pet. The bond between dog and dog owner began about 30,000 years ago when dogs started to become domesticated (驯养). Since then, dogs have become faithful companions not only at home but also as service dogs, in the workplace and on the battlefield.In addition to the unconditional love, companionship and sense of security that comes with dog ownership, there are also many health benefits. Research shows that owning a pet can help a person increase their amount of exercise, reduce their stress and lower their blood pressure.And if that’s not enough good news, here’s more. The entire week is “Take Your Pet to Work Week” so there’s no need to go to the office without your furry or even feathered (if your pet is a bird) friend.32. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Take Your Dog to Work DayB. Dogs are Popular NowadaysC. Human Beings and DogsD. Benefits from Dogs33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A. Dogs are allowed to go to work with their owners every day.B. Dogs have been well treated these days.C. Most of American families own a dog.D. The pet industry has been a big business.34. Compared with what they have done, dogs _____.A. don’t get equal treatmentB. are not worth the valueC. have cost more than enoughD. should not be provided with apartment buildings35. Which is one of the advantages dogs have according to the passage?A. They lower people’s blood pressure.B. They keep company with people.C. They save people’s money.D. They lead people to their work.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。

AA mole(鼹鼠) is built very well for digging. It can dig at a rate of 3.5m per hour. Moles dig a whole network of tunnels underground. The first kind is close to the surface. These tunnels are not really constructed at all. They just happen as the moles push through t he earth when hunting for food. Moles don’t take away the soil from these tunnels. They just push it aside as they move along. The second kind of tunnel is deeper. Moles use these tunnels to get to their hunting grounds and back home to their nests. The nests are lined with grass and leaves. Moles dig an escape tunnel starting downwards away from the nest, and then up to the surface for a quick getaway if there is danger.How does a mole get rid of all the earth it digs out of its nest and tunnels? As the mole digs with its two front paws, it pushes the earth under its body. Then it uses its back paws to kick the earth behind it out of its way. After digging like that for a while, the mole turns around and pushes all this loose earth to the surface. The mole leaves the earth in piles called molehills. There are always several molehills together. They are clear signals that moles live nearby. The biggest molehill is right above the mole’s nest. The smaller molehills around it are made of the earth from the hunting tunnels.Moles can’t live long if the air in their tunnels is too dry. Farmers and gardeners detest moles. They often damage the roots of plants as they dig.Moles need a lot of energy for their digging, so they need a lot of food to stay alive. They will eat their own weight in food each day. Imagine what would happen if you ate that much.1. What do you know about a mole’s nest?A. It is above the biggest molehill.B. It is above the hunting tunnel.C. It is not really constructed.D. It has an emergency exit.2. According to the text, moles _________________.A. dig slowly but carefullyB. live where it is slightly wetC. use their front paws to take away the soilD. leave no marks while searching for food3. The underlined word “detest” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.A. raiseB. admireC. dislikeD. harmBYasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email, he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors are buying them, evidence sugg ests that it’s a hit with seniors.The iPad’s intuitive interface（直观界面） makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo. “The iPad is a good tool for seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. “Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former knowledge.”James Cor dwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Senior users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”Seniors make up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?A. It has intuitive interface.B. It is easy to operate.C. Beginners can use it without similar experiences.D. People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.5. What can we learn from the text?A. People above thirty are Apple’s largest customer group in Japan.B. The traditional customers of Apple’s products are usually the young.C. Seniors will soon grow into Apple’s largest customer group.D. Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.6. What is the text mainly about?A. iPad leading Apple to seniors.B. iPad influencing the customer group.C. iPad’s arrival causing Ja panese to think.D. iPad beating the traditional PC.CHow to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. We naturally look up to the stars we want to sound like when we’re young and just experimenting with singing. But as we get older, we find that we have our own voice. In my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. If you want to sound great and attract people, just get comfortable with your own voice.Do you think Bob Dylan has a great voice? Of course not, but people love his voice and his songs. One of the main reasons is that he’s very comfortable with himself and his own voice. So remember this when you’re asking yourself how to sing like a superstar.I hate hearing many singers trying to imitate other singers! But it still happens all the time and yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others.I just don’t feel like I’m listening to real art when I hear these so-called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice.Now one thing I like to do is to sing other people’s songs in my own voice. Yes, you can practice a great song by an artist you love while you’re driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice not his or her voice. Turn down the volume a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a new flavor!That’s exciting and you’re being true to yourself. We’re supposed to be artists and that means expressing ourselves in a unique way. So if you’re asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.7. The author uses Bob Dylan as an example in order to tell us _______.A. how to become a great singerB. that we should feel comfortable with our ownvoice C. how to have a great voice D. that a great voice helps to makea great singer8. What advice does the author give on practicing singing?A. Never sing others’ songs.B. Practice singing in your car.C. Sing the song in your own style.D. Turn off the music while singing.9. What can we infer from the text?A. The author is a famous singer.B. Young people tend to imitate the stars they love.C. People love songs sung in a unique way.D. It’s not real art to sing other people’s songs.10. The text tries to persuade us to ________.A. practice singing in the right wayB. express ourselves by singingC. singing in our own voiceD. enjoy singing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。

The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, 26 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 27 , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the 28 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.He stood on tiptoe(脚尖)，29 as high as he could, but even as his tallest 30 he was unable to touch it.

Looking 36 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock , or, 37 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.He had tried everything he could think to do, 38 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 39 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 40 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 41 like this, the more unhappy he became.42 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t 43 , I don’t have the apple and I’m feelin g miserable as well.

There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule ha s no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancell ing anything. The reason it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’t have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy perio d in my life overa year ago. I was insanely （发疯地）busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had dailyto-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience?I believe you have known it.51. If someone can’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.A．a schedule without gaps B．breaks and distractionsC．the limited time D．the limited energy52. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ___________.A．work without any rest B．focus on many things at a timeC．find some more time in a day D．do some exercise regularly53. After a few week s off, what was the change of the writer’s life?A．He had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.B．He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.C．He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.D．He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.54. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ___________.A．prove what the real limiting factor isB．show us how busily he needs to workC．explain how important a healthy body isD．tell us what an odd experience he has55. What is the best title of the passage?A．Are You Really Lack of Time? B．How Can You Work Efficiently?C．What Makes Your Energy Limited? D．When Should You Do Exercise?C“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food Drug Administration)can require proof (证明)under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action ,including seizure (查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judgethe safety or effectiveness of such items.56．It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal57．Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.58. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.A. if it is a drugB. if it is a deviceC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority59．The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_______.A. a product which was designed to produce electricityB. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC. a successful advertisement of a beauty productD. an example of a quality beauty product60. The author intends to __________A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promisesB. show the weakness of the law on product safetyC. give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD. introduce the organization of FDA第二节(共5小题每小题3分满分15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,有两项为多余选项.Cooking with your children is a great way to involve them in the process of decision-making and taking responsibility for themselves．61 and they will be more willing to make their own snacks meals and bag lunches when they have the skills to be successful in it．Plan ahead--Choose a time when you will be relaxed and not disturbed．Easier said than done．For children cooking needs lots of patience and time to learn by doing things for themselves．62Supervise(监督指导)--Have an adult nearby to help with sharp utensils(炊具)，electric appliances and the stove．Prepare--Wear an apron or old clothes．63Organize--Read the entire recipe and gather ingredients arid utensils before you begin．If you put each ingredient away as you use it，it will be easy to tell what you have already put in if you get interrupted in the middle of the recipe．ks5uSafety--Turn pot handles inward away from other burners so they don’t overheat or get knocked off the stove．Never reach across burners or pots that are hot．Never use wet cloths，as steam will form and burn you．Be careful with electric cords．64 Double-check that you have turned all appliances off when you finish cooking．65 Get cooking and have fun with your kids．A．Cooking also helps them develop a sense of accomplishment and practice language and math skills and gives them an opportunity to share their creations with others．B．Cooking for yourself requires the time and ability to do it and access to the necessaryingredients．C．With a little help and a lot of encouragement，your children will become confident cooks with the ability to prepare meals and make bag lunches on their own．D．First of all the children must have the knowledge of how to cook．E．Use dry hands to unplug them and make sure they aren’t lying across a stove burner．F．A relaxed pace will help you resist grabbing(抓起)the utensils to do it yourself．G．Tie back long hair，roll up long sleeves and remove jewelry．第四部分写作(共2节满分35分)第一节短文改错共10小题每小题1分满分10分假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

AA mole(鼹鼠) is built very well for digging. It can dig at a rate of 3.5m per hour. Moles dig a whole network of tunnels underground. The first kind is close to the surface. These tunnels are not really constructed at all. They just happen as the moles push through the earth when hunting for food. Moles don’t take away the soil from these tunnels. They just push it aside as they move along. The second kind of tunnel is deeper. Moles use these tunnels to get to their hunting grounds and back home to their nests. The nests are lined with grass and leaves. Moles dig an escape tunnel starting downwards away from the nest, and then up to the surface for a quick getaway if there is danger.How does a mole get rid of all the earth it digs out of its nest and tunnels? As the mole digs with its two front paws, it pushes the earth under its body. Then it uses its back paws to kick the earth behind it out of its way. After digging like that for a while, the mole turns around and pushes all this loose earth to the surface. The mole leaves the earth in piles called molehills. There are always several molehills together. They are clear signals that moles live nearby. The biggest molehill is right above the mole’s nest. The smaller molehills around it are made of the earth from the hunting tunnels.Moles can’t live long if the air in their tunnels is too dry. Farmers and gardeners detest moles. They often damage the roots of plants as they dig.Moles need a lot of energy for their digging, so they need a lot of food to stay alive. They will eat their own weight in food each day. Imagine what would happen if you ate that much.1. What do you know about a mole’s nest?A. It is above the biggest molehill.B. It is above the hunting tunnel.C. It is not really constructed.D. It has an emergency exit.2. According to the text, moles _________________.A. dig slowly but carefullyB. live where it is slightly wetC. use their front paws to take away the soilD. leave no marks while searching for food3. The underlined word “detest” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.A. raiseB. admireC. dislikeD. harmBYasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email, he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors are buying them, evidence suggests that it’s a hit with seniors.The iPad’s intuitive interface（直观界面） makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo. “The iPad is a good tool for seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. “Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former knowledge.”James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least entered,” Cordwell says. Senior users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”Seniors make up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,”he says.4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?A. It has intuitive interface.B. It is easy to operate.C. Beginners can use it without similar experiences.D. People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.5. What can we learn from the text?A. People above thirty are Apple’s largest customer group in Japan.B. The traditional customers of Apple’s products are usually the young.C. Seniors will soon grow into Apple’s largest customer group.D. Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.6. What is the text mainly about?A. iPad leading Apple to seniors.B. iPad influencing the customer group.C. iPad’s arrival causing Japanese to think.D. iPad beating the traditional PC.CHow to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. We naturally look up to the stars we want to sound like when we’re young and just experimenting with singing. But as we get older, we find that we have our own voice. In my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. If you want to sound great and attract people, just get comfortable with your own voice. Do you think Bob Dylan has a great voice? Of course not, but people love his voice and his songs. One of the main reasons is that he’s very comfortable with himselfand his own voice. So remember this when you’re asking yourself how to sing like a superstar.I hate hearing many singers trying to imitate other singers! But it still happens all the time and yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others.I just don’t feel like I’m listening to real art when I hear these so-called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice.Now one thing I like to do is to sing other people’s songs in my own voice. Yes, you can practice a great song by an artist you love while you’re driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice not his or her voice. Turn down the volume a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a new flavor! That’s exciting and you’re being true to yourself. We’re supposed to be artists and that means expressing ourselves in a unique way. So if you’re asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.7. The author uses Bob Dylan as an example in order to tell us _______.A. how to become a great singerB. that we should feel comfortable with our ownvoice C. how to have a great voice D. that a great voice helps to makea great singer8. What advice does the author give on practicing singing?A. Never sing others’ songs.B. Practice singing in your car.C. Sing the song in your own style.D. Turn off the music while singing.9. What can we infer from the text?A. The author is a famous singer.B. Young people tend to imitate the stars they love.C. People love songs sung in a unique way.D. It’s not real art to sing other people’s songs.10. The text tries to persuade us to ________.A. practice singing in the right wayB. express ourselves by singingC. singing in our own voiceD. enjoy singing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。
