ASteve was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew but whos e face he didn’t—the girlwith a rose. She was his pen pal (笔友). She had helped him a lot both in study and life. They planned their first meeting for 7 p.m. at Grand Central Station in New York.“You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my coat.” So at 7 p.m. he was in the station looking for the girl with a red rose.A young woman was coming towards him.

He was 18 years old and could die anytime. He stayed in his house and never went outside. He was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked for his mother’s permission, who was his only lifelong friend.He walked down his block and saw a CD store. He stopped and looked through the front door. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and knew it was love at first sight(看见). He opened the door and walked closer and closer to the desk where she sat.She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?” She smiled. He thought it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen before. He answered, “ Uh. . .Yeah. . . Umm. . . I would like to buy a CD. ”He picked one out and gave her money for it. She wrapped(包裹) it carefully and gave it to him. He took it home and put it in his closet. From then on, the same thing happened every day until one evening the phone rang. The mother picked it up and answered, “Hello?” It was the girl!

He passed away yesterday. . . ” The line was quiet except for the cries of the mother.Late that night, the mother went into the boy’s room and opened the CDS.

A CD StoreCFOR us humans, one of the greatest experiences is to taste all kinds of delicious food. But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness. That’s because penguins can’t actually taste th e delicious flavors (味道) of their favorite food—fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组) of five species of penguins. They found that not one can taste umami (鲜味), the flavor of meat or fish, the BBC reported.Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour (酸), salty bitter (苦) and umami. But according to genetic(遗传的)data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling. And scientists don’t have a good explanation for them. But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesn’t work in cold temperatures. “It’s about zero degrees whenthey eat cold fish,” Zhang Jianzhi, the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional(功能的)gene, it might not work when they needed it.Plus, penguins’ tongues are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste. Instead of being covered with taste buds which help to taste food, penguins’tongues are extremely spiky (钉子似的). This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them. One study even showed that some types of penguins don’t even have taste buds. , But penguins seem to be managing just fine.“Their behavior of swallowing food whole and their tongue structure and function suggest that penguins need no taste perception(知觉),” said Zhang.11.The study finds that __________.A. different penguins have their own favorite fishB. penguins have different genomes for the five tastesC. penguins can’t taste the flavor of fishD. penguins don’t have any of the five basic tastes12. Penguins can only taste __________.A. salty and sourB. sour and sweetC. sweet and saltyD. bitter and umami13. From Paragraph 5, we learn that __________.A. penguins’ umami genes work well in cold temperaturesB. penguins only eat cold fishC. temperatures can decide the umami genes of penguinsD. the umami genes in penguins would work when needed14. Paragraph 6 tells us that __________.A. a lack of taste is good for penguinsB. pen guins’ tongues are very spikyC. penguins prefer to eat slippery fishD. there are no taste buds on penguins’ tongues15. All of the following decide that penguins need no taste perception EXCEPT__________ .A. they always swallow food wholeB. their tongue structure is specialC. their tongue function is differentD. they live in cold temperaturesDMy parents give me an allowance every week. An allowance is the money I earn when I do chores or jobs around the house. There are a lot of things I want to buy with my allowance, but I have to earn it first! There are many ways to earn money. I do chores, make my bed and empty the dishwasher. I also help my parents whenever they ask.My parents let me choose how to spend my allowance, but they say I shouldn’t us e it up at once. That’s why they taught me about budgets (预算). A budget helps people buy things now and also save for things in the future. My mom says there are three ways to use my allowance. I can spend it, save it, or give it away. I want to do all thr ee, so my mom and I make three jars. One is a “spend” jar, one is a “save” jar, and one is a “give” jar.Spend JarThe spend jar is my favorite! I put most of my allowance here. At the end of the month, I count up all my spending money. I use it to buy things and do fun things with my friends.Save JarSometimes, there are things I want, but I don’t have enough money. That’s what the save jar is for. I put some of my allowance in it. It builds up more and more each week. After a while, I have enough money to buy what I want.Give JarThe last jar is very special. It’s the give jar. I donate (捐赠) the money to a charity (慈善) or another good cause. My dad says that donating money helps other people and makes our world a better place.I like putting my allowa nce into my three jars. It’s fun to see it build up over time! Do you earn an allowance?16. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “allowance” is______ .A. 允许B. 零用钱C. 承诺D.费用17. There are ______ jars for the writer’s money.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four18. For budgets, the writer’s parents DIDN’T want him to _______.A. spend all the money in a short timeB. build up too much moneyC. save the money for things in the futureD. choose how to spend the money19.

This is the taxi stop where people who return from Marseilles always come. Your skin color tells me you have been on vacation. The ink spot on your right fingers suggests to me that you are a writer.

AThose who have a chance to visit the United States often complain that the fastpace at which people move is very troubl ing. One’ s first impression is likely to bethat everyone is in a rush. City people always seem to be hurrying to get where theyare going. And they are very impatient if they are delayed (耽搁) even for a briefmoment. At first this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you;storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as theywalk along the street. You will miss smiles and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant. Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly. Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which is true in other countries as well.Americans, who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you.1.Visitors to the United States possibly feel that city people of the country are very ________.A. busyB. kindC. troublingD. patient2.

If you have over 20 cats to take care of , you will probably employ ______ to be your pet-sitter?A. SavannahB. AhjahC. EliseD. KelseyCNo one can live without nerves (神经). The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us get used to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of suffering is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in standing pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle thepain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the nature of life.11. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to _______.A. stay relaxedB. avoid painC. stand sufferingD. feel pain12. What does the writer mean by saying “we pay for our sensitivity” in the first paragraph?A. We have to take care of our sense of pain.B. We suffer as a result of our sense of feeling.C. We should try hard to resist pain.D. We are hurt when we feel pain.13. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that _______.A. fakirs have magic powerB. Indians are not afraid of painC. people can learn to deal with painD. some people are born without a sense of pain14. What is important for people to stand pain according to the writer?A. Their relaxation.B. Their interest.C. Their nerves.D. Their attitude.15. The author believes that _______.A. feeling pain is part of our lifeB. pain should be avoided at all costsC. feeling pain can be an interesting thingD. magic power is essential for reducing painDTina was worried. She was to have a job interview, and she wanted to lookgood. She decided to get some new clothes. The store owner, Pallas Hansen,helped Maria find a suit. But when she left the store, she didn’t pay for the suit!How could Tina do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet(职业壁橱) in San Jose, California. Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiedestarted this nonprofit store to help women. They knew that many women don’tfind jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview. Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money t o buy food and clothes for their children. They can’t buy clothes for themselves.Pallas and Charlotte started the store after they heard about a store like this in Chicago. V olunteers work in the store. Working women gave away most of the clothes to the store. This makes it possible for the customers at Career Closet to get clothes for free.Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren’t the only things women get at the store. They also get confidence. Maria is 36 years old. Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Maria needed a job to support her seven children. She went to Career Closet and got a jacket, a skirt, and a blouse. “The whole day made me feel special,” she said. Maria was a success at her interview, and she got the job. One reason she got it was because she was wearing the right clothes for the workplace.Pallas says, “I love this job. Sixty percent of the women get jobs. It’s like a magic godmother.”16.

With imagination and technology, the dinosaurs in the movie look so vivid that we believe the ones in real life were just like this. But in fact, it is not true about real life dinosaurs, the BBC reported.A few months ago, an international team of Scientists discovered 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossils in Siberia, Russia .The fossils showed that feathers were much more widespread among dinosaurs than previously thought.“The find has completely changed our vision that the skin of dinosaurs is leathery,” the lead scientist, Pascal Godefroit, of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science in Brussels told BBC News.The creature called kulindadromeus zabaikalicus was about 1 meter long, with a short snout, long hind legs, short arms, and five strong fingers. This is not the first time scientists have found feathered dinosaurs. Over the past 20 years, scientists have found at least five species of feathered dinosaurs in China. “Probably that means the common ancestor of all dinosaurs had feathers,”Godefroit said. “Feathers are not only a characteristic of birds but of all dinosaurs.”What’s more, the size of some dinosaurs in the movie isn’t correct. For example, the velociraptors in Jurassic Park are bigger than humans. But the real velociraptors should be much smaller, about the size of a large chicken.Fiction is fiction. Sometimes, it scarifies truth to entertain audience. B ut this doesn’t mean you can learn nothing from them. BBC’s documentary Walking with Dinosaurs is proud of being as true to life as possible. If you are a big fan of dinosaurs, you can take it as a window to get close to the science of dinosaurs.11.What do the underlined words “ previously thought” refer to in Paragraph 1?A. The skin of dinosaurs was feathered.B. The skin of dinosaurs was leathery.C. Dinosaurs were giant and tall.D. Most dinosaurs ate meat.12. The findings in Siberia and China lead scientists to conclude that__________.A. dinosaurs were widespread all over the worldB. there was more than one type of dinosaurC. maybe all dinosaurs were featheredD. only birds have feathers13.Which of the descriptions are from the movie Jurassic Park?① Dinosaurs are feathered.② Dinosaurs are hard-skinned.③ Velociraptors are about the size of a large chicken.④ Velociraptors are bigger than a man.A. ①③B.②④C. ①②D.③④14.According the passage, fiction changes the truth to __________.A. give audience pleasureB. make audience learn somethingC. get some advantages for dinosaursD. have audience take interest in science15Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Great Scientist Pascal GodefroitB. Walking with DinosaursC. Dinosaurs May Have FeathersD. Dinosaurs in the MoviesDSince the moment Darnell Wynn was diagnosed with ovarian (卵巢的) cancer, she has refused to let the disease keep her from her love —running. This weekend she and a group of supporters gathered together and ran the Partner Re 5k route to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. She is a two-year survivor.When she first received the operation, one of her main concerns was when she could be able to run again. “I thought I’d just had an operation. It wasn’t until I went back and entered the chemotherapy(化疗)room with my son that I really understood it was cancer. Then I really broke down,” said she.When she first developed ovarian cancer, her symptoms had been back pain and lack of energy. This time, the only signs were high levels of ovarian cancer markers in her blood. “I went back to my doctor in tears, but apparently it is pretty common,” said she. Fifty percent of women with early stage ovarian cancer will have a recurrence(复发) of it, and the rate goes up for women in the later stages.The Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre is recognizing September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Wynn hopes it will help more women learn the symptoms and risk factors. “I had two sisters who had breast cancer,” she said. “The symptoms are often masked and a lot of women don’t know that if they have a close family member who had breast cancer, they are at the risk of ovarian cancer.”16. What is the purpose of the passage?A. Women should be tested in September.B. People pay no attention to ovarian cancer.C. Ovarian cancer is as horrible as breast cancer.D. Women should raise their awareness of ovarian cancer.17.How does the author describe Darnell Wynn in the passage?A. Positive.B. Sad.C. Innocent.D. Intelligent.18.Realizing she would receive chemotherapy, Darnell Wynn _______.A. thought she would recover soonB. knew the seriousness of her illnessC. believed she would have no futureD. began to doubt the operation she received19.What did Darnell Wynn think of her recurrence of ovarian cancer?A. She was surprised and angry.B. She thought more symptoms had struck her.C. She felt worried about her health.D. She guessed the doctor was making a joke 20.What can we infer by reading the passage?A. Ovarian cancer is a genetic illness in a way.B. Darnell Wynn is perfectly recovered at present.C. Most women are at the risk of ovarian cancer.D. It is common to see a recurrence of cancer in reality. 第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分35分) 第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分) 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从21—40各题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和D )中,选出最佳选项。

As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words "FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION" at the top. Iput the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paperof my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered anyquestions so seriously.On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. "My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise," I thought.When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the ex m. I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date.This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest. From then on, I worked harder than ever before.( )41.

So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first one - that I must work in an area I like-is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some ne w and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others andbring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look backwith a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read thebooks and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice.A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.( )46. According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people_ .A. solve fewer problemsB. choose a good lifeC. be good family membersD. provide hard things( )47. The writer considers an enjoyable job most importantbecause .A. he has to bring out his bestB. it can make him more creativeC. he will have to work another dayD. it is possible for him to livebetter( )48. The underlined word "remunerated" in the passage means" ".A. trainedB. praisedC. acceptedD. paid( )49. The writer wants to tell us that everyone should 。

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago,as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie,I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28. From the passage we know .A. Annie knew how important she was to her motherB. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her sonC. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel WhiskersD. Sam was not surprised at the music which was played in the store29. When the author knew her daughter could not stop looking at her pretty face, she felt .A. sadB. deeply movedC. annoyedD. ashamed30. Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world ?A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.B. Because her son was the most important person to her.C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happinesswith kids.4.Chinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This servic e was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a“historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鳄)was swimming toward the shoe. His mother in the house was looking out of the windowand saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice, the little boy became worried and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.From the bank. the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too determined to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the injury, asked if he would show him his scars.

A Mother and An AlligatorCA new Australian research indicates that children with a stutter (结巴) do not suffer disadvantages at school, More than ten percent of children have a stutter by the age of four but they score just as high as other children on tests designed to judge their language, thinking skills and character.Professor Reilly’s team studied over 1600 children from Melbourne, Australia. Their mothers had been filling out regular questionnaires since their babies were eight months old and the children were judged by a range of language and behaviour tests when they reached the age of four. Reilly and her colleagues asked the parents to call the study group if their children started showing signs of stuttering. Diagnoses were confirmed by a researcher, who then visited the homes of children with a stutter every month to check on their progress.By the age of four, 181 of the children studied had been diagnosed with a stutter. Follow-up visits to the 181 children who were judged after diagnoses showed just nine no longer had a stutter one year later. Stuttering children scored 5. 5 points higher than that of their non-stuttering children on language tests and 2. 6 points higher on the test of non-verbal intelligence. The researchers said it was possible that stuttering could improve language skills, or that stuttering could result from very fast language development among some children.The research suggests parents of children who stutter are usually advised to wait a year before looking for treatment —which can be expensive — to see if the stutter goes away by itself, unless the children become very unhappy or stop talking.11. Children with a stutter at school _______.A. are poor in their lessonsB. have normal language skillsC. work much harder than othersD. are looked down upon by others12. According to Reilly, parents should make a telephone to the study members when ______.A. they wanted to turn in the questionnairesB. their children were rude to other peopleC. they wanted to seek some practical adviceD. their children had a symptom of stuttering13. The author shows the result of the research by _______.A. presenting some statisticsB. offering some good examplesC. telling some interesting storiesD. performing some operations14. Some children may stutter probably because_______.A. they become angry very easilyB. their intelligence is very poorC. they don’t have any patience at allD. their language develops very quickly15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A. it costs quite a lot to treat children with a stutterB. it is hard for stuttering children to speak normallyC. children with a stutter should be treated in a proper wayD. stuttering children can’t be any worse off than they are alreadyDAbout five to seven million people who lived in England spoke English at the end of the 16th century.Later in the next century, people from England overcame other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.Look at this example:British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment.So why has English changed over time? All languages change and develop when cultures meet. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers improved the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.16.When did English begin to be spoken in many other counrties?A. In 16th century.B. In 17th century.C. In 18th century.D. In 19th century.17.Shakespeare could use a wider vocabulary than ever before because English_______.A. developed when new settlers came to BritianB. was based on Germany during the 5th centuryC. became the language for government and educationD. was spoken wide all over the world18. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. British settlers moved to America in the 18th.B. It’s easy for Chinese people speak fluent English.C. English once became the official language in India.D. English was influenced by Danish invaders in AD 450 .19. What showed the differences of American English spelling?A. Samuel Johnson’s dictionaryB. Shakespeare’s booksC. French ruler’s languageD. Noah Webster’s dictionary20.For what purpose does the author write the passage?A. To settle English in many countries.B. To understand English-speaking people.C. To describe the development of English.D. To tell people changes of American English.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分35分)第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从21—40各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
