I decided then and there to make a 34 of fifty things I was happy with．Later,I decided to 35 more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for 36 from a lady who was a director at a larger 37 ．She asked me if I would 38 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers．I said yes.My 39 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job．To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 40 that I completely changed my life.21．A．As B．Though C．If D．When22．A．Successful B．extra C．satisfying D．convenient23．A．driving B．repairing C．Taking D．designing24．A．working B．travelling C．Discussing D．living25．A．prepared for B．attended C．asked for D．held26．A．Lose B．like C．Find D．get27．A．Hard B．busy C．serious D．short28．A．wave at B．drop off C．call on D．look for29．A．ordering B．Promising C．saying D．showing30．A．in case B．or else C．as if D．now that31．A．Hurt B．hit C．caught D．moved32．A．feelings B．Attention C．strength D．interests33．A．opinions B．Education C．experiences D．life34．A．list B．book C．check D．copy35．A．Connect B．turn C．keep D．add36．A．her B．a passenger C．me D．my friend37．A．Hospital B．factory C．restaurant D．hotel38．A．listen to B．review C．give D．talk about39．A．plan B．choice C．day D．tour40．A．operation B．Speaking C．employment D．thinking第二部分阅读理解(满分45分)(A)Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people．Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are．Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors．This can put their pets in danger of serious illness．There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad．If you have to take them out, stay outside with them．When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too．I you must leave themoutside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter．They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere．Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality．Keep an eye on your pet's water．Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink．Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A．They are often forgotten by their owners.B．They are used to living outdoors.C．They build their won shelter.D．They like to stay in warm places.42．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A．To know when to bring them inside.B．To keep them from eating bad food.C．To help them find shelters.D．To keep them company.43．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A．run short of clean water B．dig deep holes for funC．dirty the snow nearby D．get lost in the wild 44．What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem. B．To give practical advice.C．To tell an interesting story. D．To present a research result.(B)You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it．You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick．And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead o r behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．It should be at a 45° angle to the boat．It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45．What should you consider first while sailing?A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels.C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails.46．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle.47．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.48．Where can you probably find the text?A．In a popular magazine. B．In a tourist guidebook.C．In a physics textbook. D．In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships．For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure．Yet it also has other uses．A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child．A smile may show love or politeness．It can also hide true feelings．It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures．For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper．Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities)．Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough．In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings．Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should n ot attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture．The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions．Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted．For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do．When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States．People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others．The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different．If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49．What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A．Love. B．Politeness. C．Joy. D．Thankfulness.50．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A．show friendliness to strangers B．be used to hide true feelingsC．be used in the wrong places D．show personal habits51．What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A．Learn about their relations with others.B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.C．Find out about their past experience.D．Figure out what they will do next.52．What would be the best title for the test?A．Cultural Differences B．Smiles and RelationshipC．Facial Expressiveness D．Habits and Emotions (D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – One of the world's most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice．The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom．A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S．tour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopia's rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago．Officials said six other U.S．cities may be on the tour．But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part ofthe skeleton of what was once a 312 -foot-tall ape-man (猿人).53．The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A．introduce a few U.S．museumsB．describe some research workC．discuss the value of an ape-manD．report a coming event54．What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A painting of the skeleton. B．A photograph of LucyC．A copy of the skeleton. D．A written record of Lucy.55．How many cities has Lucy's U.S．tour plan already included?A．Four. B．Five. C．Six. D．Eleven.56．What was the skeleton named after?A．An ape-man. B．A song. C．A singer. D．A camp.(E)Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure．The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone's winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before．As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years．Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it．Here's how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic –you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers person．The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame．When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible．Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame．When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try again．In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets．(Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise．Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth．But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57．What does the author think about the present generation?A．They don't do well at school. B．They are often misunderstood.C．They are eager to win in sports. D．They are given too much praise.58．A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A．doesn't want to work hardB．cares a lot about personal safetyC．cannot share his ideas with othersD．can succeed with the help of teachers59．What does the growth mind-set believe?A．Admitting failure is shameful.B．Talent comes with one's birth.C．Scores should be highly valued.D．Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60．What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?A．Encourage them to learn from failures.B．Prevent them from making mistakes.C．Guide them in doing little things.D．Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The S-A-T test is very important .A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a nice American college .For this reason, many students hit the books for months to prepare for the S-A-T.61.

She worked all day so I was responsible for looking after myyounger half-brother.

I loved her and always wished she could spend more time with us but she worked Monday through Saturday.At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed her so much all the time. One day, he cried, saying he wanted his “Mummy”.So I locked the house and carried him on my back to find his mummy.My stepmother worked very far away. After about an hour’s walk, my little brother got tired and fell asleep. Then I looked down and saw he’d lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him from my back and put him down. I knew we had to find that shoe because my step-mom wouldn’t be able to afford new shoes for him, but it would take too long to do it while carrying my brother. So I told him to stay where he was and I wouldrun and find the shoe and come back. A man overheard me and stopped me right before I walked off. He asked me, “You’re leaving your brother here to go to find the shoe? What if he isn’t here when you return？”I didn’t know how to answer that question. So he said, “People are always more important than things. It’s okay if you can’t find the shoe, but it isn’t okay to lose your brother over a shoe.”He asked where we were headed and I told him the fact. I remember him looking at me and smiling when I told him what I was doing. He took both my brother and me and put us in a taxi and sent us to our destination.81.

"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

The boyPassage BOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…"2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think y ou'd better…"3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.61.This passage tells us mainly about _________.A. the importance of "guessing " in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time62.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is _________.A. "… so I didn't have a good time."B. "…so I went to bed very late."C. "…. so I felt unhappy."D. "… so I got up very early."63. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A. "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself."B. "I think you'd better have something to drink."C. "I think you'd better get some help from your friends."D. "I think you'd better be more careful."64. Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is ______.A. "… she is one of the most famous film stars."B. "…she is one of the most beautiful women."C. "… she is one of the most famous speakers."D. " .. she is one of the most talkative women."65. From the passage we can infer (推断) that guessing is _______in learning a foreign language.A. the only wayB. more important in spoken English than in written EnglishC. more important than any other wayD. more important in written English than in spoken EnglishPassage CNow satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.66. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space67. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather68. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures69.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is not surprising to hear that more and more people are trying to lose weight by using weight-loss pills. It is becoming a very popular way to deal with weight because then all that people need to do is simply take the pill and carry on with their normal eating habits all the while losing weight.As with the seemingly endless supply of weight-loss programs, there is a wide range of weight-loss pills that you can choose from and they go from prescription drugs(处方药) to natural products that are supposed to have same effect but offer a safer choice.Weight-loss pills can be highly effective when the appropriate drug is chosen for the patient and many people have quiet obvious results over a relatively short period of time once they have found a solution that has worked for them.Still, you need to be aware that these natural weight-loss pills can have side effects and some serious reactions can be extremely dangerous to your health.No matter what type of pills or products you are taking to lose weight, you really should discuss everything with your doctor first to ensure that your health won’t be in danger and in particular if you have any other health problems that need to be discussed.With prescription drugs you are going to have to consult your doctor, so it would be a wise decision to talk about all the alternatives before deciding what the best for you is.On the other hand there have been many people who have had obvious problems with weight-loss pills they have been using, whether it is prescription drugs or natural products. In some cases, these substances have no effect on the user.It certainly isn’t worth endangering your life to lose weight as weight loss should actually be about improving you life.Section B(10marks) (2,4,4)DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The more money a married woman earns, the less housework she will do regardless of how much her spouse earns, according to a new study.A researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that big paychecks (薪水) equal less cooking and cleaning in a study of 918 women in double-income families. Married women who made $40,000 or more a year spent nearly one hour less on housework per day than women who earned $10,000 or less, according to the findings based on data (数据) from the National Survey of Families and Households.“Up to this point, people have thought that the important thing was how much money a woman makes compared to her husband, but the only thing that matters is how much money she earns,” Sanjiv Gupta, the author of the study, said in an interview.The study, which is published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, showed that for every $7,500 in annual income that a married woman earned, she performed one hour less of housework each week.Gupta confirmed the connection between money, housework and spousal relationships in a separate study using data on nearly 2,000 couples in the United States and Europe.The average earnings of American women increased by $6,200 between 1965 and1995,according to the U.S.Census Bureau (人口普查局).During that time, the amount of time married women spent on weekly chores fell by 14.6 hours.Since the husband’s earnings had no effect on the amount of housework a woman does,thefinding suggests that women are using their own money to reduce their housework by doing things such as ordering food from restaurants instead of cooking,and hiring cleaners instead of doing the cleaning themselves,Gupta said.81.Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “spouse”.(回答词数不超过1个)82.How do high income women reduce the amount of housework they do?(回答词数不超过8个)83.What is the main idea of the passage?
