His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just any pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen 35 , waiting for my reaction.I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing 36 about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. But looks can 37 people. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure it.I had made the decision to be a writer. I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishers（出版社）. The night before, I told my husband my 38 when I thought Cody wasn’t listening. “What if nobody likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did 39 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your 40 great and everyone will love you.”Tears filled my eyes. Refusal an d failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I 41 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though. And I felt 42 already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it.In the lunchroom, Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky pen. He decided to get it for me. The boy was a tough negotiator（强硬的谈判者）but Cody didn’t give up. In the end, he 43 his lunch, his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy – his most important things, for that pen. Just to make 44 feel better.I still have that pen, though it’s long out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling 45 , I look at it and remember just how lucky I am. For while I value that pen, it’s Cody who I really 46 in my life.35.

And the most exciting thing wasthat I could see my favorite basketball player ， Dwight Edwards ， inperson． I was holding his photo in my hand all the time ． Throughoutthe game Dwight made one fantastic play afteranother． With 3 seconds left in the game ， he scored the winningbasket for his team! After the television reporter finished interviewingDwight ， Mom and I walked toward him ．"Umm Mr ．Mr ．Edwards？I'm Keysha，and I think you're amazing ．" My heart was beating fast． But I collected my courage and asked ， "Would you please sign my photo ？ " "Sure ，Keysha． Thanks for coming today ． " Dwight smiled as he signed the photo and then shook my hand ． I thanked him ．As Mom guided my steps toward the exit ， I watched Dwight until he disappeared into the locker room ． When I turned around， I noticed a little boy holding a piece of paper and a pen and crying ． "It's OK ，son，" his father said．"We'll meet Dwight Edwards some othertime ．" I looked at Dwight Edwards' signature and thought about how great it was to meethim ． Then I thought about how kind Mom ‘ s boss was for giving us the tickets to allow me to have this experience．I handed Dwight's photo to the boy ． "Here ，I want you to have this，" I said ． The boy's eyes widened ． "Dwight's autograph （亲笔署名）？ Wow !" he exclaimed ． "Thank you!" "No problem ， " I replied ．"Keysha ， that was very thoughtful of you ，" Mom said ． "I know how much that autograph meant to you． "I smiled at her． "I got to see Dwight Edwards play an amazing game ． Then I got to meet him and shake his hand． I won't need an autograph to remember this day ． "24.What was the most exciting thing for Keysha ？ ______A.Having a seat in the front row ．B.Watching a professional basketball game ．C.Getting a free ticket for a basketball game ．A.

Sad．26.Keysha gave the autograph to the boy because ______ ．A.the boy's father asked her for itB.the autograph meant little to herC.she would like to make the boy happyD.she would meet Dwight some other timeCToo many people think that intelligence is a gift of nature and that there is little anyone can do to improve theirs ． IQ tests have managed to confuse many of us， leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed ．It is not ． Just like swimming ， cooking ， dancing， and many other things， being smart is a skill that requires training ． I discovered some of the most important tools to be smart when I watched my professors for years to learn how to do useful research ． Now I will share them with you ．Practice self-critical thinkingCritical thinking is the act of questioning the arguments that are put before us ． It is a valuable skill--without it ， we are too willing to believe what other people say and easily get influenced ． The problem is that we usually only apply （应用） critical thinking to other people's ideas． When we apply critical thinking to our own ideas ？ its power reaches a whole new level ． I call this self-critical thinking ． If you practice self-critical thinking ， you will find imperfection in your arguments before anyone else and you can come up with a better idea． By practicing self-critical thinking，your mind will surprise you．Be persistentSmart and successful people don't give up ． They believe that they can do it ？ so they spend months ？ even years trying until finally something works out ． You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he succeeded ． Actually ， almost all scientists experience failure regularly ． So if you want to be smart ， be persistent．Learn to present your ideasYou may have your good ideas ， but if you don't sell your ideas ，no one will recognize their worth and consider you smart ． So you need to learn how to present your ideas ． Pronounce clearly ，express your thoughts properly，and most importantly ， let your enthusiasm（热忱）about your ideas shine through． Enthusiasm spreads quickly． When you have something to say，say it well ． Selling your ideas is not only good for your reputation （名誉）， others can also benefit from your message ．Finally ？ you must also believe in yourself ． Those who appear smarter than you simply have used the right tools to exercise their minds ． You are smarter than you think ．27. When we practice self-critical thinking？we ______．A.are very likely to doubt other people's ideasB.are willing to believe and accept other people's ideasC.can easily come up with better ideas than other peopleD.can find weak points in our own ideas before other people28.What can we learn from the passage？ ______A. Too many people think they can improve their intelligence．B.Scientists can succeed much more easily than normal people ．C.Pronouncing clearly is the most important skill to express ideas ．A.How to be smart ．C. How to be successful．B. How to argue forcefully．D.How to do useful research ．DI ask every student I interview for admission（获准入学）to my college the same question ，"What do you look forward to the most in college ？ " I was surprised and pleased recently when a student replied， "I look forward to the possibility of failure．" This is not how most students answer the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic （学术） futures， but this young man took a risk ． "My parents have never let me fail ，" he said． "When I want to take a risk at something ，they remind me it's not safe． They think taking a hard course or trying a challenging activity will destroy my college admission ． " This is not an uncommon story ． Kids all over the world are under great pressure to beperfect ． So it's hard to find imperfection in a college application （申请）． Students try their best to hide negative things and only tell us impressive things ． But perfection doesn't exist （存在），and we don't expect to see it． In fact ， admission officers are likely to be skeptical of students who present themselves as persons without weaknesses．We want to find out who students really are outside of their medals and test scores ． We get excited when we read an application that seems real ． If their viewpoints are about lessons learned or challenges overcome ， these applicants are likely to jump to the top ． We believe a mistake in high school should not define（定义） the rest of your life ，but how you react could shape you forever ．Teenagers will never be perfect ． They do silly things ， mess up and fall down． The ability to bounce （反弹） back is a basic life skill students have to learn on their own ． The lessons of failure can't be taught in a classroom； they are experienced and reflected upon． During my interviews ， another student told me， "I'm ashamed that I failed my math class ， but I took it again and got a B-plus ． "From the experience I learned to let go of shame ， " he said． "I realized that I can't let a grade define my success ． "I smiled ． This kid will do well and be successful in my college ． He has the skills to face challenges． Failure is about growth ， learning ，overcoming ，and moving on ． Let's allow young people to fail ． Not only will they learn something ，it might even get them intocollege ． 30. The writer tells the story of the student in Paragraph 1to show that ______ ．A.many kids are usually told to avoid taking risksB.some students like to behave in an unusual wayC.some students feel uncertain about their college lifeD.many kids and their parents often have different opinions31.What does the phrase "b e skeptical of" probably mean ？ ______A.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A.Want to Succeed？ Work HardB.Want to Be Perfect ？ Do Your Best四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共 1 小题，共10.0 分）34.阅读短文，依据短文内容回答下列问题．Most cars get their energy from petrol（汽油），But somecars use electricity ． They get their power from largebatteries（电池），There are also some cars that haveboth an electric motor and a petrol motor ． They are calledhybrid cars ．Most people think of electric cars as a new invention ？ but they have been around for a long time ． In the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries electric cars were popular because thetechnology for petrol engines was not highly developed ． But when the petrol enginesbecame easier to make and more powerful，they became more popular．Interest in electric cars was high in the 1970s and 1980s because oil became very expensive． Recently ？electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less．Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways ． The biggest benefit is that they can reduce pollution ． In areas with a high percentage of electric cars ？there is lesspollution ． But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution ． The electricity to power electric cars has to come from a power station ． Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy ， they are most likely burning fossil fuels （化石燃料）． The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreignoil ．Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power（核能）stations，there is less of a need to import oil ．There are some problems with electric cars as well． One disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars． This is mostly because of the high cost of thebatteries． They need to be charged in special places． Right now ，there aren't enough places where people can charge the batteries． Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars． Some people are afraid that the battery will run out ofelectricity before they reach their destination ．Despite these problems， many people， including car industry experts ， believe that the percentage of electric cars will increase in the future ．What do electric cars get their power from ？ ______When were electric cars first popular ？ ______Why have electric cars become popular again recently ？ ______What is the third paragraph mainly about ？ ______What are the disadvantages of electric cars compared with petrol cars ？ ______五、书面表达（本大题共 2 小题，共30.0 分）35.依据中文和英文提示，达成一篇许多于50

He‟d say I was to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me 36 like a junior-high kid. He explained that while a curfew 37 sound like a restriction, it‟s really about people looking out for one another.The very next Friday after that pretty heated 38 , my dad and I had tickets to see our town‟s professional football game. On that day he was 39 to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and 40 me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.To make sure we could 41 off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he‟d be home, I understood that he was a little 42 . But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting 43 . We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn‟t he 44 me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously 45 the floor, another half hour passed. That‟s when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to 46 the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to 47 . What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really 48 . I‟d already called his cellphone about ten times, but no 49 .I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said 50 , “Son, I‟m so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I 51 to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I52 my cellphonein the car, so I couldn‟t call until now.”I was so relieved to hear from my father and to 53 that he was safe that I actually cried.

But if we clean up the litter and repair the fence, it will be a great place for a skateboard park.” Mr. Hanson scanned the broken concrete, nodding. “The old school is being adapted to a community arts centre. This area could become a vital part of the neighbourhood again.”“Here‟s a picture of a skateboard park in another town. Look how busy it is.” Everett was relieved that the community representative seemed receptive to the idea. Mr. Hanson studied the photograph, and then asked, “If town council provides the money, how will you and your friends contribute?” Everett felt optimistic now. “We‟ll help design and build the ramps(坡道). More experienced boarders could give lessons to raise money!” Everett‟s voice was enthusiastic.However, Mr. Hanson said, “We‟ll still need parking spaces, and the neighbours will not like late-night noise. They might worry about the crime of deliberately damaging public property and….”“The skateboard park would use only the back corner, which isn‟t near any houses. Since young people already hang out here, why not give them something fun and physically active to do in their free time?” The lines over Mr. Hanson‟s forehead unwrinkled(舒展), and Everett‟s hopes rose again. “If everyone works together,” Everett thought, “maybe this idea will become reality.”56. Where were Everett and Mr. Hanson talking?A. In the city hall.B. Outside a park.C. Near the parking lot.D. In the art centre.57. Everett was trying to persuade Mr. Hanson to _____.A. beautify the neighbourhoodB. cut the area of the parking lotC. build an art centre for childrenD. provide money for a skateboard park58.

The building—the country‟s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional bu ilding of its size. The Eastgate‟s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn‟t have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.During summer‟s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃commonly drop to 14℃at night. “You couldn‟t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.63. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?A. It was designed in a smaller size.B. No air conditioners were fixed in.C. Its heating system was less advanced.D. It used rather different building materials.64. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent.65. Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?A.

The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate‟s temperature control system_____.A. allows a wide range of temperaturesB. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of the airD. works better in hot seasonsDIs the …Go to College‟ Message Overdone?Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn‟t the answer for everyone. A briefing paperfrom the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.“We‟ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there‟s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot o f student debt and then you don‟t graduate,that is a very bad situation.”One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April‟s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the L abor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn‟t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor‟s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one‟s major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.She suggested two avenues for improving the situation: increasing vocational(职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europe‟s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you‟re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.67. People usually think that _____.A. the cost of technical schooling is a problemB. one will not succeed without a college degreeC. technical skills are most important for landing a jobD. there is an increased competition in getting into a college68. What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?A. Hearing from.B. Changing from.C. Differing from.D. Learning from.69. What can we infer from the passage?A. Public institutions charge more for education.B. European universities are stricter with students.C. Students with certain skills are in great demand.D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.70. Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that _____.A. too much stress has been put on the value of college degreesB. technical training is more important than college educationC. a college degree will ensure promising employmentD. it‟s easier for art students to find favorite jobs第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）The Importance of Accessibility AwarenessAt a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 71 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 72 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 73 And the meeting focused on educating the public.Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, t he woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 74Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 75 People who are informed of the rail‟s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）你校将要组织美国交换生参观中国美术馆（National Art Museum of China）。

These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it ? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Andrew Matthews, an Australian wri ter, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.( )61．Which of the following isn’t mentioned in this passage?A: You look sad, what happened?B: 76． .A: Why do they do that?B: 77． .
