The mission will accomplish the first spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.“All the major systems involved in the launching are now in the final preparation. The main tests for the spacecraft, the Long-March II-F rocket, suits for the space walk and a satellite accompanying the fly have also been finished, ” said the spokesman.In addition, the ground control system is fully prepared, including the launch site, the landing site, and the communication for observation and control.When Shenzhou-7 enters its orbit, one of the three taikonauts will conduct a space walk, said Zhao Changxi, a senior scientist with the project, earlier.According to Zhao, cameras would be fixed outside and inside of the ship for live broadcasting of the space walk.While the last mission of Shenzhou-6, with a crew of two, was aimed at several days of manned flight, this time the task might be more stringent as one of its main goals is the space walk.Earlier reports said a crew of six astronauts had been chosen for the mission, with three manning the spacecraft and three substitutes.China successfully put two manned spacecrafts into orbit in 2003 and 2005 respectively, becoming the third country to send an astronaut into space after the United States and the former Soviet Union(now Russia).56. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Shenzhou-7 is better equipped than the last two spaceships.B. Shenzhou-7 will be more successful than the last two launches.C. All the systems involved in the launching have been prepared.D. China is ready for the launching of Shenzhou-7.57. We can learn from the passage ________.A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walkB. Three of the six astronauts chosen for the mission will walk in spaceC. The space walk will be live broadcasted on TVD. Everything has been prepared except communication system58. The underlined word”stringent”mo st probably meansA. challengingB. encouragingC. interestingD. movingBTight-lipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education,experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, you could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications, will pay him to employ you and your “wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.59. What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”?A. You’ll certainly get what you want.B. It’s no use dre aming.C. You should be dissatisfied with what you have.D. It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.60 A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as ________.A. an illustration of how to write an application for a jobB. an indication of how to secure a good jobC. a guideline for job descriptionD. a principle for job evaluation61 According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a jobbecause ________.A. that is the first step to please the employerB. that is the requirement of the employerC. it enables him to know when to sell his servicesD. it forces him to become clearly aware of himselfCDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and phys ically（身体上）.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. A ll we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consumingthem instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.62 From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products63. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet64. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?DFree and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance of the introduction in September of￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city.The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative…at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡10 annual fee if it becomes established.However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.“This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.”66. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________.A. lacks moneyB. prefers to stay at homeC. is careful with moneyD. wants to change cash67. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swaps?A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.B. To let students stay close to their universities.C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs.D. To let students exchange ideas freely online.68. What can students do on Student Swaps?A. They can find students to exchange homes with.B. They can make friends with students from a different city.C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.69. Now many students would prefer a university _________.A. which can give them free accommodationB. which is not far away from their homesC. which offers the best coursesD. which can offer home-cooked meals70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UK.B. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UK.C. Two Mothers’ Good Intention to Help Students in UK.D. Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else’s Home.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

For as long as people have wanted to persuade others to buy their goods, give them their vote or lay down their lives, they have used the methods of advertising. Of course, methods have changed over the years. At first, word of mouth was the only means of communicating, but after the invention of the first printing press and the arrival of the first newspaper, the camera, the television, and the home video recorder, the persuasive methods of the advertising industry have become much more sophisticated.Advertising appeals more to our emotions than to our minds and therefore uses persuasive techniques which, though not misleading, are certainly biased towards its products. Advertisements have some basic features.·They are fast and short. They deliver their message in minimum time and space.·They are concentrated. Their language and images are extremely dense.·They appeal to consumers’ emotions rather than to their logic.·They entertain. That entertainment may be in the form of a jazzy song or a photograph or a clever joke, but it always draws attention to itself because advertisements have to compete against every other competitor for consumers’ attention.36.In the past, people used methods of advertising when they wanted othersto .A．buy their products and lay downB．vote for them and give up their livesC．support them and lie downD．buy their products and give them tickets37.How can advertisements attract people?A．By showing reasonable prices of the products.B．By showing fabulous pictures of the products.C．By reminding people to think before deciding to buy the products.D．By persuading people in the form of music, pictures and so on.38.The writer implied in the passage that .A．advertisers only present good points of their productsB．advertisers try to cheat consumersC．advertisers are not sure about their productsD．advertisers are competing with each other.39.“Itself” in the last sentence of the passage refers to .A．photograph B．entertainment C．joke D．jazzy song40. Advertisements have the following basic features exceptA. being attractiveB. being concentratedC. being fast and simpleD. being amusingBUtopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. It is a place where the people work together and share. There is no money in Utopia because the people do not need money . They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, philosophers were the kings, and every person had a place in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island “ Utopia”. In 1602, Tommaso Campanella wrote “The City in the Sun”, about a perfect community on the island of Ceylon ( now Sri Lanka ) ; and in 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfect country which he named “Erewhon”. “Utopia”is a Greek word that means “not a place”, and “Erewhon”is the English word “ nowhere” spelled backwards.Utopia is a perfect place, but it is not a real place. Most ‘real’Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in it, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is ‘Utopia’today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.41. Which of the following would be the best t title for this passage?A. UtopiaB. A Good IdeaC. A Pacific PlaceD. The Utopian Community42. The reason why there are no personal possessions in Utopia is that ______.A. nearly everything belongs to everyoneB. the people don’t need moneyC. all of the people share everythingD. the laws are reasonable43. The idea of Utopia was first suggested by ________.A. PlatoB. Utopian peopleC. Tommaso, Samuel ButlerD. Sir Thomas More44. According to the passage, most ‘real’ Utopias last only a short time because _______.A. no one wants to be a leaderB.no one knows how to make a perfect societyC.it is difficult to collect moneyD.everyone wants to live in Utopia45.Which of the following is true?A. There was never a ‘real’ Utopia.B. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, lived in Utopia.C. “The City in the Sun”, is now a city in Sri Lanka.D. Utopia’ today means a good idea which can’t become ture。

At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But Islowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so Ibegan to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. Sheloved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so Ibegan to believe in myself.Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take 45 .

Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have givenher a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were outfor a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. 'I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.57. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .AI felt worried B. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire58. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingsC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old home59. The passage is organized in order of .A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexityBOpen Letter to an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wantsto be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.60. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.61. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?A. Finding the news value of his stories.B. Giving him financial support.C. Helping him to find issues.D. Improving his good ideas.62. Who probably wrote the letter?A. An editor.B. An artist.C. A reporter.D. A reader.63. The letter aims to remind editors that they should __A. keep their best reporters at all costsB. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters' professional developmentD. appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudesCPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interruptedby Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.64. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.65. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans.B. Israelis.C. The British.D. The Finns.66. We can learn from the passage that __A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up one's confidence67. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means __A. being willing to speak one's mindB. being able to increase one's powerC. being ready to make one's own judgmentD. being quick to express one's ideas confidentlyDThe Cost of Higher EducationIndividuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.68. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers toA. taxpayersB. pressing callsC. college graduatesD. government resources69. The author thinks that with full government fundingA. teachers are less satisfiedB. students are more demandingC. students will become more competentD. teachers will spend less time on teaching70. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order toA. argue against free university educationB. call on them to finance students' studiesC. encourage graduates to go into businessD. show their contribution to higher education第四部分：书面表达(25分)假设你是红星中学高二(1)班的学生李华，利用上周末的时间帮助祖父母安排了去北戴河的旅行。

于对市爱美阳光实验学校高一英语下学期第十三次周练试题第一阅读理解(共两节；总分值30分)第一节(共10小题；每题2分，总分值20分)阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最正确选项。

ANo one can believe that the over 6,000­kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great〞 mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize the length is made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC—206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. Butthose_sections_far_away_from_the_public_eyes have been almost forgotten.Few local people know the 3­meter­high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human. The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements. The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out entire base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learnto love it.1．Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?A. It is useless from now on.B. It will be replaced by a new one.C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.D. It is too old to be used again.2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The Great Wall was completed in the Ming Dynasty.B. Not all the foreign tourists like the Great Wall.C. The first part of the Great Wall was built in 221 BC.D. The Qin Great Wall was protected well.3．The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes〞 (in Paragraph 2) refers to the parts of the Great Wall ________.A. that are too difficult to findB. that nobody can watchC. that are too far to be seenD. that are not well­known to the publicBPetra may be the treasure of the world, hidden among mountains. Its most beautiful scenery makes it the greatest ancient sitestill­standing nowadays. Common sense says, “Perhaps there's nothing on the planet that resembles it.〞 Without doubt, there's nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock­carved (雕刻的) rose­red town of Petra is filled with mysterious_charm;_it had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it〞．Petra is the most well­known and beautiful site in Jordan that is about 262 km south of Amman, and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 km north of it. It was the legacy from the Nabataeans, who settled in the southwest of Jordan a lot more than 2,000 years back. Because of its excellent culture, buildings and many water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World that attracts visitors all over the world.To get there, you must pass through a kilometer long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) whose two high sides keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most well­known monuments (遗址), which glow in the bright sun. The old town shows the visitors its beautiful look. It leads people to think about the creativity of the Nabataeans who made Petra as theircapital.Petra flourished for more than 400 years at about the time of Rome until it had been occupied by the Roman legions in 106 AD. Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone.Petra sights are in their finest at the beginning of morning and late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones，you will see the greatness of Petra since it was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost through the 16th century for nearly 300 years!4．From the text we can learn that ________.A. Petra is on the top of a high mountainB. Petra is a palace of the king in the old daysC. no place in the world can be similar to PetraD. the Nabataeans built Petra in 106 AD5．What does the underlined phrase “mysterious charm〞 in Paragraph 1 mean?A. The unbelievable power to attract people.B. All kinds of visitors from the world.C. A number of usual places of interest.D. The shops，restaurants and hotels.6．According to the writer，Petra is ________.A. about 133 km south of AqabaB. about 262 km north of AmmanC. 80 km south of the Dead SeaD. in the southeast of JordanCAfter the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What's worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part­time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. Inspite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see〞. This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.7．Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?A. They all wanted to have a good rest.B.

They're ordinary folks like you and me.But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.Free test and brochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize your writing dream today.

Kristi Holl mentions her experience mainly to_____.A. prove she is a good instructorB. promote the writing programC. give her advice on course preparationD. show she sold more stories than articleBWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give childrenaccess to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.39. According to Paragraph 1, studentsA. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents on educationC. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science40. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example toA. compare it with rock musicB. show music identifies a societyC. introduce American musical traditionsD. prove music influences people’s lifestyles41. According to the passage, the arts and science .A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC express people’s feelings in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently42. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education deserves more attention.B. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginative.CCamping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first ste p to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather thancreating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.43. You needn’t ask for permission when camping in .A. national parks in EnglandB. most parts of ScotlandC. crowded lowland BritainD. most parts of England44.The author thinks that a good campsite is one .A. with easy accessB. used previouslyC with modern conveniencesD far away from beaches45. The last paragraph mainly deals withA. protecting animals B building a campfireC camping in woodlandD finding a campsite with privacy46. The passage is mainly aboutA the protection of campsitesB the importance of wild campingC the human influence on campsitesD the dos and don’ts of wild campingDThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently,“At places where they gather, editors ask one another,‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.47. What can we learn about the New England Courant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.D. It carries articles by political leaders.48. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers’ suggestions.B. They care a lot about each other’s health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.49. Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. The Washington Post.B. The Guardian.C. The New York Times.D. New England Courant.50. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?A. Satisfied.B. Hopeful.C. Worried.D. Surprised.第四部分单词拼写（10分）1.
