I walked away with tears 54 my eyes and a heart filled with joy because I had been 55 to help someone through her darkest days.Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (30marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AIt seems that there’s a good reason why dogs have remained as man’s best friend.Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see at a glance if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry.When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually wander left, falling on the right hand side of the person’s face first. This “left gaze bias〞〔左视偏好〕only happens when we look at faces and does not apply(应用于) any other time, such as when looking at animals or objects.A possible reason for the tendency〔倾向〕 is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions.Researchers at the University of Lincoln have now shown that pet dogs also have “left gazes bias〞, but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to show this behavior before.A team, led by Dr Kun Guo, showed 17 dogs images(形象) of human, dog and monkey faces as well as objects.Film of the dog’s eye and head movements shows a strong left gaze bias when the animals were presented with human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other images, including those of dogs. “Guo suggests that over thousands of generations of association〔交往〕 with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions,〞 New Scientist magazine reported. “Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions more accurately than the left. If true, then it makes sense for dogs — and humans —to see the right hand side of a face first.〞56. The reason why dogs are man’s best friend is that _______.A. they can read our facial emotions easilyB. they can help us in many waysC. they are the only animal that can protect usD. they are easy to deal with57. The “left gaze bias〞 only happens when we look at _______.A. animalsB. plantsC. peopleD. dogs58. From the passage we can learn that______.A. the left side of the human face is better at expressing emotionsB. only pet dogs have “left gaze bias〞C. Dr Kun Guo is a team leaderD. The “left gaze bias〞 happens when dogs were presented with images of dogs59. The passage mainly wants to tell us that ______.A. dogs are man’s best friendB. what is the “left gaze bias“C. dogs can guess our emotionsD. dogs read emotions the same as humans60. The underlined word “accurately〞 in the last paragraph probably means _______.A. luckilyB. exactlyC. slowlyD. easilyBThere is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe〞. He will write only words within his spelling range (范围〕. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing abouta personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.〞 It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted (略过) to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.61. Teachers differ in their opinions(意见不同) about ______.`A. the difficulties in teaching spellingB. the role of spelling in general language developmentC. the importance of the basic writing skillsD. the necessity (必要性) of teaching spelling62. The expression “play safe〞 probably means ______.A. to write carefullyB. to do as teachers sayC. to use dictionaries frequentlyD. to avoid using words one is not sure of63. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that______.A. students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesC. students will have more trust in writingD. students will learn to spell words correctly64. The writer seems to think that the teacher's judgement on that sensitive pieceof writing is______.A. reasonableB. foolishC. unfairD. careless65. The major point discussed in the passage is _______.A. the importance of developing writing skillsB. the importance of spellingC. the correct way of marking compositionD. the relationship between spelling and the content of a compositionCThe United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon(说教) in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices(牺牲) and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless(无私的) and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental(伤感的, 忧伤的). Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.66. The United States is special in Father's Day because ______.A. many people celebrate the dayB. only America celebrates the dayC. America makes it an official dayD. all men are honored in America67. At first, Father's Day was fixed on June 19th because ______.A. Sonora honored her father on her father's birthdayB. Sonora's birthday was June 19C. it was decided by the president at that timeD. her mother died on June 1968. How many years has passed before Father's Day became an official day sincethe father's day was celebrated?A. 4B. 10C. 14D. 2469. According to the passage, on Father's Day, ______.A. people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathersB. only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathersC. children must go home to honor their fathersD. fathers are often honored in different ways70. According to the passage, we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ______.A. was very kind to anyoneB. did a lot for his daughterC. was the first father honored in 1924D. always help others by giving money Part Ⅳ Writing (45marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Today, February twenty-ninth, is leap day. This date only appears on the calendar once every four years. But why?Everyone knows the Earth takes three hundred sixty-five days to travel around the sun. Well, that is not exactly correct. The Earth really takes three hundred sixty-five days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds to complete its orbit around the sun.The problem for people developing calendars (日历) was what to do with the extra(额外的) five hours, forty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds.People needed calendars to help them know when to plant crops and when to celebrate religious holidays. The ancient Greeks and Chinese had a solution(解决方法). They produced calendars that included extra months every nineteen years.The ancient Romans had a different solution. In the year forty-six, the Roman ruler Julius Caesar made a new calendar. The Julian calendar included an extra day every four years. But there was a problem. The Julian year was just over eleven minutes longer than the cycle(循环) of the seasons. In fifteen eighty-two, Pope Gregory the Thirteenth established a new calendar to keep a better recorder of the days. Pole Gregory was the religious leader of most of Europe. He decided that years that could be divided by four would add a day. However, years that ended in two zeros and that could not be evenly(均匀地) divided by four hundred would not be leap years. For example, the years seventeen hundred, eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred were not leap years. But the years sixteen hundred and two thousand were leap years So leap years are years with three hundred sixty-six days, instead of the usual three hundred sixty-five. This extra day is added to the calendar on February twenty-ninth, sometimes known as leap day. People born on leap day may be called “leaplings.〞 They usually celebrate their birthday on February twenty-eight or March first.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet. He held up a sign which read, “I am blind, please help.〞 There were only a few coins in the box. The boy felt sad.A man walked by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the box. Then he took the sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.Soon the box was full. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?〞That man said, “I only wrote the truth . I said what you said but in a different way.〞What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day and I can not see it.〞Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course, but the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.Great men say, “In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience〔良心〕.〞It’s a beautiful thing to see a pe rson smiling! And i t’s even more beautiful to know that you are the reason of a person’s smiling!81. Why did the blind boy feel sad?

According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____ .A. a wise leaderB. a skillful performerC. a gifted scientistD. a good social worker42. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A. is good at singing and dancingB. is about to graduate from a universityC. has an interest in being a surgeon(外科医生)D. specializes in psychologyCSometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible．However, chances are that you don't act on your impulse （冲动）, but let it pass instead．You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior．Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time．Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them．Now with thepublication(出版)of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject．One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat．Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about often．It's not taboo to talk about fat; it's taboo to be fat．The "in" look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public．The thin look is associated with youth, energy, and success．The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline(自律)and self-respect．After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is "in", fat is "out"．It's not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed（着迷）with staying slim and "in shape"．The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people's obsession with diet and exercise．Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health .As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point．As a result of inactivity and disuse, people's bodies can easily become weak．In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of people are spending more of their time exercising．Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day．43.What does the underlined phrase "in" look” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．The fashionable look．B．The hidden look．C．The usual look．D．The inside look．44. According to the passage, the common belief is that ．A．fat people are full of energy B．thin people are more successfulC．fat people prefer to have fat bosses D．thin people are less image-conscious 45. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of ,A．their need to kill time B．their love for sportsC．their concern for health D．their belief in hard work46. What's the main purpose of this passage?A．To advertise． B. To compare．C．To educate．D．To informDHans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors(气味) to smell.Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Millerto Hans that he’d never go by his garden without p icking a large bunch of flowers or a handfulof sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend.The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of bags of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship.In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then.“There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife,“When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered. So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.”“You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”“Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.”“How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature. I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused. The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea.Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter.“I’ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller. “And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return. Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full.”Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked(采集) all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”“I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”“Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.“Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.”“Certainly,” cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned.At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the procession(队伍).” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.47.

My daughter is a fan of Korean fashion, that’s why she is crazy about the uniform!” Cheng said. “If the students wear suc h beautiful uniforms, how can they study well? I prefer the sports wear which makes me think of health and positive thinking.” School“The plan to change the current school uniform from sports wear has been cancelled,” an employee of the school told the Jinling Evening Paper.“The students dislike the current uniform, so the school took advice from the students last November, knowing that most of the students prefer Korean or Japanese-style school uniforms. We know cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou have changed their sports wear school uniforms to more fashionable uniforms,” an employee surnamed Lin said.“However, we had to stop the plan because many parents are strongly against it. Some parents think it’s just a way for the school to make money, and ot hers think the new uniforms will take students’ attention away from their studies,” Lin said.When asked about the possibility of problems with early romance between students because of the more fashionable uniforms, Lin said he hadn’t considered it. He, however, agreed that the Korean-style uniform makes the students more charming.StudentsThe students are very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They think the sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous(难分性别).They said the Korean-style uniform has many advantages such as raising interest in class; lifting confidence; improving solidarity(团结) and creating good temperaments(气质).As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and bears no relationship to the uniform.Education department“We don’t have a unified (统一的) standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sports wear or unifo rms are ok,” an official from the Nanjing Bureau of随着信息技术的快速发展，网络语言以其快捷的传播方式进入了人们的生活。
