Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’sday--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” A nd yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days ofhonor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen!(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?(本题3分)A Father figures who are equally honored in the U．S．B 30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page．C 3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world．D 11.1％of U．S．fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U．S．标准答案： B2(单选题)What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?(本题3分)A The National Grandparents’Day．B The National Grandchildren’s Day．C The National Stepparents’Day．D The Nati onal Stepchildren’s Day．标准答案： A3(单选题)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 ?．(本题3分)A Unbelievable．B ToughC Lasting.D Inevitable．标准答案： D4(单选题)What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?(本题3分)A Because they love their role as stepparents．B Because they are often treated as heroes in the family．C Because they deserve respect and honor as family members．D Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

Cloze (30 points with each of 2 points )Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices given below and marked A,B,C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 21 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 22 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 23 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 24at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 25 in the actual stuff of language itself — words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 26 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing （退回）to27 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, isa common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 28 down the speed of reading is vocalization — sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 29 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined（预先确定的）speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 30 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 31 word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization（默读）practically impossible. At first 32 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 33 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 34 Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 128 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 35 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.21．A．applying B．doing C．offering D．getting22．A．quickly B．easily C．roughly D．decidedly23．A．good B．curious C．poor D．urgent24．A．training B．habits C．situations D．custom25．A．lies B．combines C．touches D．involves 26．A．Fortunately B．In fact C．Logically D．Unfortunately27．A．reuse B．reread C．rewrite D．recite28．A．scales B．cuts C．slows D．measures 29．A．accelerator B．actor C．amplifier D．observer30．A．then B．as C．beyond D．than31．A．enabling B．leading C．making D．indicating 32．A．meaning B．comprehension C．gist D．regression33．A．our B．your C．their D．such a34．A．Look at B．Take C．Make D．Consider35．A．master B．go over C．present D．get throughIII. Reading Comprehension (60 points with each of 3 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Ach passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer.Passage 1A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that itwas their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.36. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.A. repeated without any changeB. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parentD. set in the present37. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.A. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different way38. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ____.A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs39. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays40. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.A. they are full of imaginationB. they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interestingD. they make teachers of history difficult to teachPassage 2There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing (批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be ofservice to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.41. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things42. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB. make others unhappyC. tend so scold others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life43. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons44. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.A. prevent any communication with themB. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes45. In this passage, the writer mainly _______.A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD. tells people how to be happy in lifePassage 3Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothesaddict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I nee d to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps th em save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”46. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes47. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company48. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?A. Many employees don’t li ke a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.49. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.50. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passageexcept _______.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improvi ng employees’ motivationD. making employees happierPassage 4Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores (杂事),or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying “Do your chores now.” you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, “If chores aren’t done by 4 pm, here are the consequences.” Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don’t argue or fight with them, just say, “That’s the way it’s going to be.” It shouldn’t be punitive (惩罚性的)as much a s it should be persuasive. “If your chores aren’t done by 4 pm, then no video game times until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that’s going to be your loss.” On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it ver y simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him, make no bones about it；he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones —even if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.51．According to the passage, it seldom happens that ________.A．kids turn a deaf ear to their parents’ requestsB．parents’ directions sound like a broken recordC．children are ready to follow their parents’ directionsD．parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids52．Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they ________.A．avoid direct ways of punishment B．make them do things at their requestC．argue and fight with their children D．allow their children to behave in their own way 53．When the kid is doing his homework, parents ________.A．should provide him with a good learning environmentB．can do whatever they likeC．can stay aside watching TVD．must switch off the power54．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．parents should take off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their childB．it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents C．parents shouldn’t give in to their kid when he shows no sign o f respectD．kids’ purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power andcontrol55．The main idea of the passage is ________.A．that respecting each other is more important than anything elseB．how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parentsC．that children should make choices and decisions on their ownD．how parents can deal with their kids’ behavior effectivelyIV Writing (40 points)Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition of about 100-120 words based on the following topic.(1)有些人认为父母对年轻人的影响较大，也有些人认为朋友对年轻人的影响较大(2)我的看法参考答案单选题：1-5 BACBA 6-10 CDCDA 11-15 CBCAD 16-20 DBDABCloze: 1—15 DACBA DBCAD CBCBD1．D 本句意思是“谁如果想谋得一份差事”。

Comprehension(60points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by fourquestions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years，but until six months ago，I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1would defensively say，“of course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted totalk but couldn’t.Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as“things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks，I was fully recovered.Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.第36题单选According to the passage，the author is most likely a __________.A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist第37题单选What does the wife mean by asking“Did you even hear what I just said?”in Paragraph1?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A第38题单选What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.第39题单选What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both“meat“and“water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century,referring to it as coco，meaning“ghost”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as“the tree of life”.第40题单选What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph1mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D第41题单选The coconut got its name because of__________.A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike

choose“Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay?And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher;select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies(过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed30minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible.But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family.There’s no better way to learnEnglish than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience!第44题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who__________.A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C第45题单选Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.第46题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案：D第47题单选What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.Passage FourUsing1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family.Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment.Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference.You may not feel it，but your wallet will.It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline.The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust.While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth.To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗)to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.第48题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A第49题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B第50题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C第51题单选Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too.Right?Well，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only30people have “liked”the page.Considering that studies show3.3million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law w!While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents?The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful“You’re not my dad!”or“You’re not my mom!”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve“official”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me?Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!第52题单选What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph1refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B第53题单选What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in1978?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案：A第54题单选Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “inherent”in paragraph2?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案：D第55题单选What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。
