She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic(恐慌) in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.56. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.B. The recorder was impatient and rude.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.57. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curiousB. puzzledC. Indifferent（冷漠的）D. interested58. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A. calmB. panic-strickenC. confidentD. proud59. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.60. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.BThe first time that I had heard the term “EQ” was in the fall of 1995 when the book Emotional Intelligence，by Daniel Goleman，was widely covered by the American press. The widespread research presented in the book supported my own observations and doubts about life and emotions，and told me that I was on the right track to go after happiness. The research continues to confirm what I had concluded on my own: These feelings are extremely important to individual health，happiness，and social harmony. This might seem a bit obvious，but it was not always obvious to me.I grew up in a family where we didn’t talk about feelings. We talked about ideas，concepts and principles. As a result，I could tell you what I thought about everything，but I couldn’t tell you how I felt about anything. After several failed relationships，I took time off to reflect on my life and realized I had made many decisions which resulted in unhappiness for myself and others. After studying the literature on emotions and feelings，I concluded that most of my poor decisions could be directly due to what is now called low emotional intelligence，or low EQ，for short. Previously，I struggled to find happiness through the traditional routes—material success. Now，however，I realize that：There’s not much point having either wealth or relationships if you aren’t happy.It is hard to be happy with others if you aren’t happy yourself.It is hard to be happy alone if you don’t feel good about yourself，i.e. have high self­esteem and self­confidence.It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don’t have good emotional management skills.Emotional management skills，the main subject of EQ，are，therefore，one of the most basic elements of happiness.61．The author’s views and ideas about life were exactly proved by ________.A．the widespread reports in American newspapersB．own observations and doubts about life and emotionsC．ideas and views in the book Emotional IntelligenceD．the fact that he was on the right track to go after happiness62．The author’s family members ________.A．are wise and hard­working B．are wealthy and strongC．are not good at expressing their own feelings D．get along badly with each other 63．Before reading the book，the author thought he could have happiness ________.A．if he could earn a lot of money B．if he could avoid poor decisionsC．if he took time off to reflect on his life D．if he ignored the traditional routes64．A person who can’t feel happy himself ________.A．will feel happy with lots of friends B．will not get on well with othersC．has no self­esteem at all D．should read the new book on EQ 65．Loneliness most probably comes from ________.A．lack of wealth and health B．lack of the presence of othersC．lack of good relationships with others D. lack of self­confidence and self­esteemCPeople say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly（不顾一切地）up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral. I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.The teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would truly attract her, what would Nana say? ‘oh, what beautiful barking that dog has!’ That was Nana. ”“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for my grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling, “That was Nana’s way.”Through a low sob, he continued, “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to show off.”Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ceremony . He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.All over again we felt those powerful losses crossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.66. In the first paragraph, the writer gave some examples to_____.A. support his idea that young people are no good.B. introduce his point of view about young people.C. tell people every coin has its two sides.D. young people often make mistakes.67. From the boy’s speech, we know _____.A. his grandmother had great influence on him.B. they had a dog which often attacked peopleC. people had forgotten her until the boy appeared..D. his grandmother was so weak that she is always living in the shadow of his grandpa68. Which of the following statements is true?A. The boy’s speech moved no one present at the funeral except the writer.B. The boy’s being good at expressing himself enabled him to draw everyone’s attention.C. The boy was too grieved to accept the fact that his grandmother had passed away.D. The writer didn’t expect the event would affect him.69. What words can best describe grandmother’s quality?A. weak, mild and modest.B. easygoing, cautious and considerateC. sensitive and hard on others. D, patient, optimistic, strong and helpful.70. The passage tells the readers____.A. facing certain bitter facts help young people to grow.B. young people have to control themselvesC. the adults should learn from the young.D. the adults should teach the young how to be bravePart Ⅰ Writing（45 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Teamwork is the process of a group of people working together in order to achieve a goal. It is an essential part of any business.First and the most important, a team must have been communicated to them a clear goal to work towards. Poor communication may lead to unsatisfactory results. A strong team will also include a mixture of people, with different academic backgrounds and skills. The team must be able to talk openly and honestly to each other, sharing ideas and making suggestions while listening to and understanding what others have to say.While many employees are able to perform important functions on their own, working as a team brings a wide range of talents and resources to a project that would be almost impossible for just one person to match. Ideas on the project itself and how to achieve its goals can be exchanged, and new points of view voiced, which would be difficult to achieve with just one person, who may be firmly fixed on one perspective (思考方法), thus lowering the quality of the results .Because a team is a group of people, each with their own opinions and personalities, conflicts can and do arise. If not acted upon swiftly and effectively, this can lower morale (士气) in the team and reduce productivity, affecting the quality of results achieved. A team can also take longer than an individual to achieve a goal, as organizing a team often requires considerable preparation.Having a good team working on a project ensures that the task will be dealt with thoroughly and this means the goal will be achieved with a very high quality. A good team will also create trust and confidence, both in themselves and one another. And this will benefit both the individuals and the companyTitle: 71. _____________Indian’s snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost. The charmers, who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes, used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972 to control the trade in snake skins.The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas, as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife. There is also a proposal to set up a “dial a snake charmer” service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders.“For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can’t earn a living for fear of arrest，”said Behar Dutt, a conservationist behind the plans，“if a policeman doesn’t catch them, animal rights activists report them.”Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely(暗中地) since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail. But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target for police.The fate of Shisha Nath, 56, from Badarpur，a village just outside of New Delhi，is typical of practitioners(从业者) of the dying art. “I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，” he said. “Now it’s hard to earn even $1 a day. My children want to be snake charmers. It’s our identity. We love the work. But it’s become impossible.”Next month Dutt’s project to train 30 snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune, western India, where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitudes of their fellow countrymen that anger many snake charmers.“We’re disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，”said Prakash Nath, who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader.81. What do snake charmers usually do in India？(no more than 8 words) (2 marks)82. How long will a saperas be in prison if he is caught during the ban？(no more than 3 words)84. According to the passage，what will make snake charmers angry？(no more than 11 words) (3 marks)Section C (25 marks)Directions : Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese and English .请你用表格中所给的关键词写一篇关于“考试作弊”的议论文。

All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown (摊牌). What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.The thought of walking into Larchmont' s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever - frugal ( 一贯节省的) Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a rise!Andrew arrived home that evening - despite breaking^ all city and state speed limits - to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read:" Congratulations, my love! I knew you' d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!" He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina' s pocket on to the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: " Don' t worry about not getting the rise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.Suddenly tears swelled (涌出) in Andrew ' s eyes. Total acceptance！Tina' s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.36. What was Andrew' s plan that Friday?A.To find a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.B.To request a wage increase from his boss.C.To celebrate his success.D. To ask his boss to come for dinner.37.

One of Andrew' s colleagues had told his wife the good news.39. We can conclude from the text that ____________ .A.we should never be afraid to claim what is due to us.B.work hard and you will be rewardedC.many fears turn out to be unfoundedD.unconditional love brings courage and strengthBPaul, the oracle octopus（神算章鱼），was given a replica（复制品）of the World Cup as a reward for his perfect eight - for - eight record in predicting the results of matches.The two - year - old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for accurately predicting the German team' s five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final." We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual job - making children smile," Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting Pual with the World Cup replica.There' s no rational( 合理的) reasons why Paul always got it right. Bettors around the world made small fortunes based on Paul' s guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in London. " I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I' ve ever seen people making their picks based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn' t know how to place a bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It's funny. But he kept getting it right. " said Sharpe.Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10 - pound accumulator bet( 累计下注) on Paul' s prediction from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds( $4,500)by the end of the tournament.Paul's home at Sea Life aquarium (水族馆) in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media from across Europe. Many networks broadcast his predicting live. Many networks broadcast his picks live. Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday, 12 July, 2010.40. Paul was rewarded a replica of the Word Cup because he .A.will celebrate his birthday soonB.predicted the results of matches accuratelyC.helped beat Netherlands in the finalD. helped many fans earn much money41. If a fan had placed a 2Q0 - pound accumulator bet on Paul's prediction, hewould have won _______ during the tournament.A. $30,000B. S45,000C. $60,000D. $90,00042. The underlined word "tipped" in the 2nd paragraph probably means _________________ .A. orderedB. announcedC. predictedD. helped43. From what Sharpe said we can learn that ____________ .A.it's amazing for Paul to make more exact prediction than peopleB.octopus like Paul may all have the ability to predict exactlyC.it's common for people to believe in sea life for predictionD. we' d better not bet with animals when we have trouble making our picks44. We can learn from this passage that ____________ .A.Paul used to be children' s favourite sea lifeB.it' s useless to bet with the oracle octopusC.Paul was born with the ability to predict World Cup resultsD.Germany will never be beaten if Paul stays with themCWhen we think about giving help to developing countries, we often think about giving money so that these countries can build schools and hospitals, buy food and medicine, or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs of the people we are trying to help. However, it's far from enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we' ve got to come up with some better ideas to help them.I was very surprised, then, when I read about a plan to make cheap laptop computers for children in developing countries. A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer, which can run without electricity. He decided to invent this computer after he visited a school in Cambodia.The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is a little different from the normal laptop computers you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it is covered in rubber so that it is very strong and won ' t be damaged easily. As an electricity supply can be a problem in developing countries, the computer also has a special handle so that children can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.These special laptop computers will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr. Negroponte wants to build as many as 15 million machines in the first year of production. The idea is that these computers will help the children’s educatio n as they will be able to access the Internet. These computers might not help the people in developing countries immediately, but by improving children' s education they should help people to find their own solutions to theirproblems in the long term.Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that they can be used again. In the UK, and, probably in many other countries too, millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year. The waste created by throwing away these old phones is very bad for the environment, so it seems to be an excellent idea to recycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others. In other words, we will be able to "kill two birds with one stone", and that is always a good thing.45. It's an excellent idea to recycle old mobile phones because ________________ .A.it reduces waste and can help othersB.it prevents waste and can earn lots of moneyC.it can send the waste produced by developed countries to other countriesD. it is good for the environment and very educative for phone users46. The author gives the example of Mr. Negroponte' s cheap computers _______________ .A.to show what high technology can bring usB.to show the kindness of people in the developed countriesC.to show how to find business opportunities in developing countriesD. to give an example of how to help developing countries47. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Mr. Negroponte's cheap computers?A.His computers don' t need any power to function well.B.His computers are covered with rubber so that they are very cheap.C.His computers will help children in developing countries to have better education.D.His computers will help people in developing countries to find all the solutions.DAre you always busy"?Is your schedule hectic?Do you sometimes forget to take time to eat?If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then you needQUICKEATSHEALTHY EATING THAT FITSYOUR DAILY ROUTINE.Vacuum -------- sealed meals for people on the go!Nutritious, low - sugar, low - fat, well - balanced meals in a convenient pocket!They don' t spoil !Are you in the mood for a hot meal?
