A young man, wet from 17 to toe, explained that he had 18 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his wife and his two children 19 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back. Once I had 20 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 21 , saying that they were cold.Once the car had started, I suggested that he could 22 me back. Before leaving, I had turned the heater 23 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and warm. While the little ones played and ran 24 , I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the adult. It was about 5 a.m. before they 25 .The young fellow asked me how much he should pay for and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had 26 $15. He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.About a month later, I received a 27 from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It 28 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most 29 person in the company.

Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever. In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about ma rriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeless,” Jenkyns said.Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but t heir families don’t want them to.In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried. “Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says.34. From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2, we can know __________ .A. Jane Austen passed away in her fiftiesB. Austen’s works remain popular todayC. all of Austen’s works have been made into Hollywood films.D. Austen’s works are mostly about war and the family.35. What does the underlined word “vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.粗俗的B.鲁莽的C.吝啬的D.狡诈的36. Elizabeth hasn’t a first good impression of Mr. Darcy because he is___________ .A. too richB. too shyC. too proudD. too rude37. Which of the following sentences is True?A. Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight.B. Elizabeth has a better family background than Darcy.C. Darcy has a first good impression of Elizabeth’s family.D. Elizabeth and Darcy become a romantic couple in the end.CI will never forget my experiences in the United States. I went to an American collegea year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法院）.After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was surprised. He had a good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负有责任的) for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly didanything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to refuse his help. And he made me pay him $770. [来源:Now I had to act as my own lawyer. I told the insurance(保险）company the date I was leaving America because of my inexperience（缺少经验）. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.38. The writer’s roommate offered to help him because________.A. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyB. he felt sorry for the writerC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the writer to have a good lawyer39. A good lawyer is important for the writer to __________.A. be well treated by the doctorB. get well before he leaves that countryC. talk with the person responsible for the accidentD. get money from the person responsible for the accident40. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.A. selfishB. friendlyC. rudeD. busy41. The underlined word “charge” in the second pa ragraph means ______.A. 职责B. 掌管C. 要价D. 命令42. What conclusion can you get from the story?A. America is not a perfect country.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Going to court is something very common in America.四、词语运用（每小题1分，共16分）A. 选择方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。

When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi‟s idea of non-violent resistance(非暴力抵抗). Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil rights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americanson a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law(民权法) to guarantee（保证）equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech “I Have a Dream” before the Lincoln Memorial. The “dream” is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a holiday in Luther King‟s honor. He lives in people‟s hearts forever.23. Martin Luther King was murdered when he was ________________ years old.A. 64B. 50C. 39D. 2824. The underlined word “delivered” can be replaced by ________________.A. gaveB. threwC. tookD. published25. What‟s the best title for this passage?A. Martin Luther King.B. How to Award the Nobel Prize.C. Civil Rights MovementD. Civil Rights LawBHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin （起源）of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined （结合的）to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations(联系)---the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style（文体）. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can give his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and boring.26. The origin language is _________.A. a legend (传说)from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or a secretC. an easy question to answerD. something which is not yet known by people27. What is true about words? ___________A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They cannot be written down.C. They are sounds which can express thought ,feelings, actions and things,D. They are mysterious.28. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.CDuring my travels through the mountains of Greece, I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow around the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and watched. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time made a long, loud cry. The awful cry can be heard across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost sure it was a sign to be death.Every moment I expected to see the wolves run at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend(假装) I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my way or make me run, they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am sure the wolves would attack me in a moment. But my show of false(假的)courage intimidated them and kept them back.29. Wh y didn‟t the wolves attack the man?A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.B. The man was already known to the wolves.C. They were too far away to catch the man.D. The man showed no fear as he passed by.30. The underlined word “ intimidated” probably means“”.A. encouragedB. scaredC. doubtedD. hurt31. What is the author‟s purpose in writing this story?A. To show that mountains can be dangerous places.B. To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.C. To make people aware of the danger of wolves.D. To stress the need for courage when in danger.DTatyana McFadden was born in 1989 in Russia, with an illness that caused her not to be able to move half of her body. She was placed in an orphanage(孤儿院) that was unable to provide a wheelchair for her. Over the next six years, Tatyana taught herself to walk by using her hands and arms as feet and legs.When Tatyana was six years old, an American woman named Deborah McFadden visited Tatyana‟s orphanage. The orphanage workers tried to interest Deborah in adopting(收养) one of the able-bodied children, but she paid much attention to a special girl. “Tatyana was moving on the floor,” Deborah remembered. “Back at my hotel that night, I could not take my mind off her. Unbeknownst(背着) to me, she told everyone that day, …That‟s my mother,‟which she had never done before.”Deborah followed her heart and adopted Tatyana, taking the lively girl back to her home in America. Deborah brought her to doctors and was told Tatyana would likely live a year or two at most. But Tatyana showed that all the doctors were wrong.Deborah let Tatyana try swimming, gymnastics(体操)and wheelchair basketball although teachers doubted if she could do any of them. By the summer before ninth grade, Tatyana tried out for the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At last, she surprised everyone by making the team at age 15.As the team‟s youngest competitor, she went to the 2004 games in Athens, Greece, and won a silver(银的) medal and a bronze(铜的) one in two races. Then, at the Beijing games, Tatyana won three silver medals and a bronze one. Later at the London games, she won three gold medals and a bronze one.Tatyana says, “I don‟t let little things set me back, like being sick or being in a wheelchair. If I stay mentally strong, I can do anything.”32. Tatyana ____________ for the first six years of her life.A. lived in a poor villageB. couldn‟t read any booksC. walked on her hands and armsD. couldn‟t communicate with others33.

For some, happiness lies in material wealth(物质财富)--- the more money they have, the happier they are. For some, happiness has no relation with material wealth; happiness for them lies in inner truth and satisfaction.Happiness is like a magic wand(魔棒) that helps you to effectively face all difficulties in life. It teaches you the power of positivity(乐观) and the meaning of life. We are often likely to neglect(忽略) the importance of happiness in our life. We perform our daily activities and end up leading a life like a robot, often neglecting happiness and its value.Whatever you do in life, one should always aim to achieve happiness. To live life to the fullest, one needs to understand what happiness is and how one can achieve it. Do things that give you happiness and peace of mind. Happiness is not hard to achieve. You just need to spend some time with yourself, understand your inner feelings and thoughts, and find ways that can help you stay happy and healthy.A happy mind is the way to a healthy and meaningful life. Thus, one should understand the true value of happiness in one‟s life so that one can live life, not just live to live.五、词汇（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分）A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。

They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格). They felt unhappy and returned to their village."I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day."The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!""I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish (傻的) we were !"( )1.

Which of the following is true?A. The two farmers found out why they were poor.B. The two farmers will soon get rich.C. Neither of the farmers is clever.D. The two farmers decided to buy a truck.BAlthough I had left school against the advice of my teacher, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and startedwriting poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and rewards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, “No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she advised me that I should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly（支吾其词地） told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job.

Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the rob ots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robotexplorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.( )8. ________ is the latest place we’re using machines to explore.A. MarsB. SunC. EarthD. Moon( )9.

It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for differe nt airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.（）12.
