But fifty years ago, in his small town, he couldn’t find enough players for two full teams or an empty lot big enough for a field. And when he played ball in his back yard, he just broke windows and got into trouble. So Davey began playing with a plastic golf ball and a broom handle for a bat.When his dad, David Mullaney, a former semi-pro baseball pitcher(投手), realized his son was hurting his arm trying to throw curves with the little plastic ball, he decided to find a better solution. Mullaney got a bunch of hollow plastic spheres from a local factory, sat down at his kitchen table and began cutting different size holes in the balls with a razor knife. He thought maybe the holes would alter the ball’s flight and help his son throw curves and sliders without hurting his arm.All the balls failed —except the one with the eight oblong(长椭圆形的) holes cut into one of the hemispheres. This ball curved naturally and sharply without a violent snap of the wrist. In fact, Davey was now striking out so many batters; he called his new ball a “wiffle ball”. A year试卷第2页，共12页later, Mullaney borrowed $20,000 from family and friends and started producing Wiffle Balls in his little suburban town of Shelton, Connecticut.“I didn’t want investors.” He said, “I wanted to control my own company.” This was the beginning of one of the hottest fads(时尚) of the fifties and a perennial(长久的) best seller well known all around the world. Since then millions of boys and girls have enjoyed countless hours of safe, wholesome fun playing with a Wiffle ball and bat. Esquire Magazine has even called the Wiffle Ball “a national treasure”. By producing a high quality product at an affordable price, three generations of Mullany’s have enjoyed the satisfaction and benefits of running a successful and profitable family business.Over the years, they’ve had plenty of offers to buy them out, but they’re still working out of a small factory in Shelton, making a new Wiffle Ball every couple of seconds. Creativity and persistence are two of the important sources for wealth. If he gave up his attempts at trying new things, Mullany would not have invented the wiffle ball, nor would he have made such a big fortune.1、From the passage we can know that .A ．Mullaney made the invention of Wiffle ball with the help of his sonB ．fifty years ago people didn’t like playing baseball very muchC ．Mullaney’s attempts to help Davey better enjoy ball -playing led to the invention of Wiffle ballD ．playing balls would hurt one’s arm before the Wiffle ball’s appearance 2、All the following are true EXCEPT .A ．Davey was a good ballplayer after the Wiffle ball came into existenceB ．David Mullaney wanted to run the family business on his ownC ．Mullaney’s family made a big fortune through the production of Wiffle ballsD ．Mullaney’s business was nearly bought out but they worked hard to keep it 3、The underlined word “spheres” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to . A ．balls B ．bottles C ．bags D ．boxes4、The two important factors for Mullaney’s successful family business are . A ．time and fortune B ．persistence and creativity C ．quality and fame D ．cooperation and efforts5、The passage mainly tells us something about .A ．Davey, a famous baseball playerB ．a popular ball game in the1950’sC．the birth of Wiffle ball D．the success of a familybusinessAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit(押金)required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement.“This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas,” says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group(EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang’s student clients(客户)could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago.“According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my pare nts,” Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans.“ I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China,” she says.Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad,according to the report by EIC.试卷第4页，共12页6、What’s the main idea of the passage?A ．Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.B ．Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.C ．Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.D ．More students will work in Australia after their graduation. 7、Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?A ．The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.B ．The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.C ．Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.D ．After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia. 8、After the new regulations are passed, ________. A ．more students will come to Australia to work B ．more Chinese students will choose to live in AustraliaC ．the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas studentsD ．more Chinese students will choose to further their education in Australia 9、 How much can Li’s parents save according to the new regulations?A ．550,000 yuanB ．140,000 yuanC ．410,000 yuanD ．86,850 yuan 10、Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation?

B ．They can earn more money in Australia.C ．Their working experience can make them stay in Australia forever.D ．They have to do so according to the new regulations.Every day is a gift, and if you look forward to spending each day with happiness, wake up every morning with a positive attitude and enjoy a beautiful day!Set up a daily plan for yourself and ensure that you reserve enough time for your homework.

They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart.The students meet in each group of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with a director every two weeks.The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said, “People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative atti tude to a positive one.” Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.“The main idea is to give you guidances on how to look at all kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with,” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.Hart said, “I believe forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people want to get free of the past.”16、From this passage we know that ________.A ．without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood pressure and heart diseaseB ．people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemiesC ．high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professorsD ．high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate 17、If you are angry with somebody, you should ________.

AWhen I was in fifth grade, my elementary school held a party. As we walked through the halls ，I saw a girl just a few feet ahead, carrying a large bass, an instrument with the shape of the guitar. I thought it was amusing how such a slim girl handled such a large instrument, but soon I envied that she was able to play that instrument. After being seated, a group of four girls began to perform. Once the violinist began to perform, I was drawn to her music. I was in love with the violin. Upon arriving home, I bothered and persuaded my mother to allow me to attend weekly music classes at school and never once did I miss a class.One afternoon, my mother called me and announced that she had a surprise. Getting excited, I quickly sat on the couch and waited. My mother reached behind the couch and pulled out an old case with a lock. The same feeling flowed through me as I opened the case to find anold, slightly worn-down violin. Once I received that ancient violin, I knew my life would change forever.By playing the violin, I acquired interest in other instruments such as the piano and guitar. I even began to sing. Having the chance to play such a cherished family instrument makes me feel so honored, especially since I am the first female in the family to continue the tradition of violin playing. This violin made me who I am toda y—a fun, loving person who enjoys music. Above all, I've found a way to express myself.21. Why did the writer think it amusing to see the girl ahead?A. The girl was a funny performer.B. The bass was too big for the girl.C. The girl was thin and small.D. The bass looked like the guitar.22. How did the writer feel when she saw the worn-down violin?A. Disappointed.B. Annoyed.C. Excited.D. Puzzled.23. The violin given to the writer ______ .A. must have been very cheapB was bought at a second-hand storeC. was too old for her to play good musicD. had been passed down for generationsBThere are animals that can sniff prey（猎物）when they are miles away. They can even smell danger around and run to safety. Let's have a look at some of the animals with the best olfactory(嗅觉的)ability.SharksAfter bears, one animal, or rather fish that can smell well is, the frightening shark. Sharks can find prey from a mile away. It has been found that about 2/3 of a shark's brain is dedicated to the olfactory bulb region. Thus, any injured marine animal or even a human is not safe from a shark's sense of smell.Police dogsDogs, as we all know, have a sense of smell that is 100 times better than us. But, a police dog has a sense of smell that is better than an average dog. Studies have shown that a police dog's nose has about 230 million olfactory cells. This means that they are about 40 times of the smell receptors(感受器) present in a human nose. The olfactory bulb in the brain of a police dog is larger than in most dogs and definitely bigger than in humans. The police dog can identify a particular smell from over 130 miles away.SnakesThe snake will smell prey with its tongue. Snakes use their tongues to collect particles (颗粒)in the air. This helps them to smell and taste altogether. This gives them an outline about the surroundings. Snakes are constantly using their tongues. It helps them take samples from the air, soil, water and analyze the various chemicals. These chemicals are analyzed and help them get an idea whether there is prey in their surroundings.RatsYou must have seen hundreds of cartoons where rats could smell a piece of cheese from far, far away. It's not just cheese, but they can also smell change in emotions as well as the atmosphere! Rats allow air to pass through their noses into their smell receptors. There are about 500 to l000 genes that code for 500 to 1000 different olfactory receptors in a rat. This means, one percent of the rat's DNA is dedicated to smell!As humans, we have our ability to think quickly and get out of a tricky situation. Animals too have super abilities far beyond our reach.24. How many smell receptors are there in a human nose?A. About 230 million.B. About 2.3 million.C. About 130 million.D. About 5.75 million.25. According to the passage, which animal uses both taste and smell to find prey?A. Police dogs.B. SharksC. Snakes.D. Rats.26. What can we know about rats from the passage?A. They have about 500 to l000 genes.B. They are frightening and dirty animals.C. They have more olfactory receptors than police dogs.D. They can feel the change of emotions and atmosphere.27. The passage mainly tells us some animals that ___________ .A. have an amazing sense of smellB. can get out of a tricky situationC. can find prey far away from themD. people should learn a lot fromC“Who can tell me if I look like my mother?” I was 16 when I joked while on vacation with our family in Mexico. Earlier that day, we'd been talking about traits（特征）shared between family members, and I reminded them that wasn't genetically（遗传）related to them.But Mom, walking ahead with my sister, suddenly stopped. She looked pale, and even panicked. When she regained her composure, she told me she had something to show me but that I needed to wait until we were home. So I spent the rest of that week silently wondering what it would be, nervous and anxious.When we made it back home, I was presented with a letter from my birth mother. As I read it, I felt miles and years far away as her words explained why she put me up for adoption. At first, the knowledge that this letter existed of course caused anger toward my adoptive mother. I was convinced she had purposefully kept this information from me, and the only reason she had shown me the letter was that she couldn't hide it any longer. But soon I realized that she hadn't kept it from me, but kept it for me. I also realized that I wasn’t ready to make this search just yet, because when my mother first gave me the letter from my birth mother, she also gave me advice. She said that I should know who I was before I went on the journey to find my other self. My mother warned me it was a Pandora's Box. It could be fantastic or awful, and I must prepare for any outcome.So I continued on. I went to college, got a job, and lived my life. But always in the back of my mind was that wanting, that needing to know where I came from, who my birth mother was, and whether I had any siblings（兄弟姐妹).Now, when I turned 25, I began my search. I finally felt secure enough in myself that I believed I could handle what might be in store.28. What caused the author to ask the question in the first paragraph?A. A joke played on the trip to Mexico.B. A discussion of what human genes are.C. A talk about the family members' common traits.D. A common trait shared by all her family members.29. The underlined word “composure” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.A. courageB. rightC. wisdomD. calmness30. What happened to the author during that vacation?A. She discovered a letter from her birth mother.B. She spent great days in Mexico with her family.C. She spent a waiting time with stress and anxiety.D. She had a quarrel with her adoptive mother.31. The author didn’t make her search right away probably because ______ .A. she wasn't old or mature enough to face the resultB. her adoptive mother didn't allow her to do thatC. she didn't have information about her birth motherD. her adoptive mother kept the letter from herDLet's face it — there are lots of reasons to hate McDonald's: calories, cholesterol and, for me at least, that uneasy feeling after noisily eating McNuggets. Then there's always that kid at the drive-through（A drive-through restaurant is one where you can buy things without leaving your car.）who forgets the ketchup(番茄酱).Well, add one more reason to hate Ronald: as the global economy goes downward, McDonald's is making money. "In the worst of times for the restaurant industry, it's the best of times for McDonald's," says Burt Flickinger III, managing director of the Strategic Resources Group. In fact, the company's sales have increased for 55 straight months.The pricing of McDonald's, highlighted by dollar-menu items like apple pies, side salads and yogurt, plus cheap combo meals（套餐）is a key strength during the economic recession(衰退期). In particular, consumers are fleeing casual, family chain restaurants for the convenience and savings of fast food.The economy is not the only reason people are drawn to McDonald's. The company's management also deserves credit for its success. Many years ago, America's overweight and obesity was a hot topic, and McDonald's suffered a lot. Out-of-date food and tired stores also kept people away. "McDonald's was actively preventing customers from coming back," says John Glass, a Morgan Stanley analyst.Since that time, McDonald's have rebuilt 11,000 stores. At a new and clean restaurant in the Bronx one weekday evening, Brian Waters, a mailman, sat with his 9-year-old son in the bright dining area with paintings of New York City's bridges and the Statue of Liberty. "It used to be dark and drab in here," Waters says. "Now it's nice and clean."The menu got an upgrade too. Healthier choices like apples and salads were added. The company changed its coffee blend. Chicken McNuggets now has less fat and fewer calories than the darker-meat mix of old.Like any other business in this environment, McDonald's faces some potential problems. With the improvement of economy, fast-food-service growth may become slow; plus, McDonald's can expect more price competition. For example, Steak’n Shake, the diner-style burger chain in 21 states throughout the Midwest and South, is promoting four different meal combos for less than $4.32. In the first paragraph, the author complains about ________.A. the kids running around in the restaurantB. the kids leaving the ketchup everywhereC. the inadequate service of the McDonald'sD. the terrible noise in the McDonald's33. What is the key for McDonald's success during the global economic recession?A. Its pricing policy.B. Its managing policy.C. Its dollar-menu items.D. Its combo meals.34. According to John Glass, what happened to McDonald's many years ago?A. It persuaded customers to eat elsewhere.B. It advised people to eat healthy food.C. The size of its customers was becoming smaller.D. Its customers had too much expectation of it.35. In what way does Steak 'n Shake challenge McDonald's?A. It sells fast food in diner style.B. It has chain store in 21 states.C. It sells cheap meal combos for less than＄4.D. It is the second fastest growing food service.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。
