（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.1. The writer argued with his son because ______________.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totally different opinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.2.

According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson? ______________.A. The tortoiseB. SonnyC. The hareD. Sonny’s fatherBIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engi neer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future,6. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. the writer’s studiesB. wars around the worldC. dinner plansD. the writer’s future job7. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother _____.A. doesn’t think the writer should be a doctorB. doesn’t want the writer to major in EnglishC. gets along very well with the writerD. doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea8. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.A. disagreesB. shoutsC. smilesD. complains9. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.D. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.10. We can know from the last paragraph that ____.A. the writer’s mother works very hard for the familyB. the writer doesn’t know what his future will be likeC. th e writer doesn’t think being a doctor is a good jobD. the writer sometimes thinks his mother’s advice is very goodCTravel is fun and exciting, but it’s not if you get sick. You may think,“Not me, I won’t get sick in my holiday.” But, for many people, t hat is what happens.Of course you don’t want to spend your holiday sick in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health? There are three things you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep, and eat well.A holiday must be a time for relaxing. But very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are a traveller. There are many places to visit: museums, shops, parks, churches. You may spend most days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. You may have a terrible headache afte r a few hours. If this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. Don’t ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice place. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench(石凳). Or you can stop at a cafe. You can learn a lot by watching people while you rest.Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. There may be too many noises in your hotel or the bed may be uncomfortable. If this is true, don’t be afraid to change rooms or hotels. Or you may get enough sleep for another reason. You may want to stay out late at night. In many cities, the nightlife can be very exciting. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. The extra(额外) hour can make a big difference。

But I wonder 48 all the trends( 时髦 ) are worth following.Some people may defend(辩护) themselves 49 saying snake meat is nutritious (有营养的). But these people don’t realize that many parasites (寄生虫)， 50 do harm to our health, are found inside snakes.According 51 a survey, about 1000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China and sometimes as 52 as 10，000 snakes are served on dinner tables in Shenzhen in a single day!These figures warn us that if no action is taken, 53 number of snakes will drop and there will be an increase in mice and wor ms, which will result 54 decrease of crop output.

It normally has 5 sections w hich are called Nation, Sports, Metro(大都会), Living and Business.Nation is national news mostly with some international news ab out earthquakes, floods, and tensions(紧张)around the world.

Blowing it a t this stage, you won’t get a chance to persuade them in person , no matter how good you are. Each company or organization u sually uses its own specially designed form that, although it gen erally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. S o the suggestions below will help you to know what to do rather than what you should write.Prepare your personal data record in advance. When visiting fut ure employers, always carry it with you so that you can readily s earch for details such as dates, telephone, numbers and other useful information.Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing-write not only carefully but also neatly.Use words that describe each job you have held as fully as pos sible rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvemen t(参与) in the community or in the activities in which you held a teac hing or coaching role.Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that ask s you to say how your education and past experience have esp ecially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what y ou say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to explain how the position fits your overall career plan. Follow these suggestions and you can get your foot in the door of a great future!Title: How to Fill in_____71_______Section B (10 marks)My grandfather was a wonderful gardener.

I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me .The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Ever y year as soon as the tomato plants bloomed, I would ask my gr andfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “Not yet.”I would ask the next week, “ Can we pick them yet?”He would answer, “Not yet.”Finally, I would be sure that they were ripe(成熟的). When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “Can we pick them now?”He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think th e garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessings wit h those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would giv e some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My gr andfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could al ways see the pride on his face when everything was complete.81.

They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. ―What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,‖ said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ―Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,‖ said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely s een as the ticket to higher paying jobs.29. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It trains teachers for them.B. It contributes to their self-study.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.30. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. write letters to researchers.B. draw pictures of animals.C. learn English words quickly.D. make phone calls to his friends.31. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.DLillian was a young girl who grew up in a village.

A“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That’s an old proverb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that.Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s team, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential.21. The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______.A. All the people in a village should give food to a child.B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibilityof shaping a child’s future.C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they were born.D. Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised.22.. The text was written mainly for _______________.A. parents and members in organizationsB. teachers and studentsC. newspaper reporters and developing electriciansD. education experts and government officials23. Students can get developed in practical working skill through ______.A. parental involvementB. community activitiesC. business trainingD. school teaching24. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Parents play an important part in children’s education.B. Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal.C. Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.D. Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.BMany people find themselves caught up in others’problems, and then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your friend, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.”You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people mistakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. Bear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) manner.25. According to the passage, setting limits means___________________.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friendsD. breaking away from your friend26.Once you decide to set limits, you should________________________.A. announce it publicly to othersB. tell your friend about it clearlyC. be responsible for your friendD. begin to help your friend27.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting______________.A. is often misunderstoodB. is actually a kind of rejectionC. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendshipB. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friendsD. Show your love in a new wayCOne girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.29. The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 3) most probably means ______. A. told how to enter the arena B. shown how to make the horse beautifulC. removed from the competition earlyD. told to enter the timed-speed events30. When the final race finished, nobody cheered because .A. the audience didn’t like CowboyB. people envied the writerC. the win was unexpectedD. the writer bad run out of time31. Why was the writer not confident of victory?A. He was an inexperienced rider.B. He had not practiced enough.C. He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.D. He thought his horse wasn’t as good as the others.32. What did the writer learn from his experience?A. Life can sometimes be unfair.B. Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.C. A positive attitude will bring success.D. One should not make judgments based on appearance.DLast week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).Then waitress later commented on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I don’t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future.33. What did the soldier do in response to the author’s father’s kindness?A. He gave something to author’s dad.B. He gave a big tip to the waitress.C. He said thanks to the author’s da d in person.D. He did a magic show for the author and her father.34. The author considered her father’s action to be ____.A. funnyB. understandableC. worthlessD. honorable35. Their passage mainly tells us that we should ____.A. learn to be grateful to othersB. find ways to thank othersC. try to learn from each otherD. respect soldiers and waitresses第二节七选五阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项的字母标号涂黑。

Tomor row四、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16小题32分）AIt was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I h ad a little boy in my class who came from a nonEnglish speakin g home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me. After a day or two of this，I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me，ready to help.I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from h er.I asked her if she would try to get him to play，and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could d o this，she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking a nd looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixy earold can，and said，“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.I stood there all alone，silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new f riends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.I often think of that small moment，about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to s peak kid—big kid，little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching st udents how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let t he_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our stude nts because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids.BWhen it comes to feeling better about yourself，nothing will help you like healthy eating.Controlling what you ea t is a big factor (因素) in how you look and feel.If you think about it，so much of how we behave，how we feel，and how our bodies perform is based on what we put into them. The old saying “You Are What You Eat” is actually true.The pro blem is that a lot of mainstream diet books you might find in you r local bookstore or online are trying to sell you diet plans that don’t work and that might even make you sick.Healthy eating is great for your body.It doesn’t take a rocket sci entist to figure that out.Many people don’t realize just how good healthy food is for them.By eating great foods that are natural a nd healthy，you can lose weight.You can also have a lot more energy.So yo u shouldn’t just think of healthy eating as a way to burn fat，but you should also think of it as a way to get your life back in o rder.You can spend more time with your family and get more work d one because you will have more energy.You will be impressed by how much better you’ll feel by putting nutritious，natural foods into your body.Your look will be better.You’ll have more energy，and you’ll be happier.The important thing to remember when it comes to eating healt hy is to not fall for any tricks.There are a lot of people out there l ooking to make quick money.They will tell you just something s o they can sell a book or a video.What you need is to trust a die t plan that is right for your cate yourself about your ow n body type.Find out what kinds of foods are best for you.If the diet book you trust doesn’t teach you these important factors，then you might be reading bad information.55.

Or do they? Are thes e just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national char acter? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent surv ey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were no t appreciated by the British public.Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealous y (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known a s the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich U niversity in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a gr oup of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those giv en a little money were given the chance to destroy the large am ounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people test ed agreed to do this.This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Eco nomic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy .That i s not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Coop er, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their suc cess in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their ow n efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy t hey complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth foll owing their example. If they were friendlier, people would like th em more. And more people want to be like them.DDo you want to go out of town for a bit of rest and relaxation? Before you start packing, visit these best travel sites for vacatio ners.

The way to achieve this may not besimple.It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organiztion(UNO)could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with thisis time.Perhaps the UNOcould set up a body of devoted men and womenis every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster,it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A commonproverb says,“Give me a fish and I eat for day,teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime. ”If we follow this wise saying,it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves.For example, a country could share its technology with another.This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like thesetting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, couldbe useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It doesnot cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. Theycan then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come backform time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be trulyhelpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not costmuch to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and mustcontinue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what isreally effective would be the sharing of knowledge.41. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A. By solving the cost problemsB. By solving the transportation problemsC. By setting up a body of devoted people in every coun try.D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.42. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence ?A.Providing food is vitalB. Learning to fish is helpfulC.Teaching skills is essentialD. Looking after others is important.43.The second paragraph is developed mainly _________.A.by exampleB.by processC. by comparisonD. by contrast44.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands ?A.A medical team.B.An exchange program.C.A water plant.D. Financial support.45. What can we infer about international aid from the passage ?A.It is facing difficulties.B. It is unnecessary during normal timesC. It should be given in the form of materialsD. It has gained supportdeveloped countries(B)The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not preventthe damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp( 沼泽地 ) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this placeget its name?”“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course! ” cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of, youwouldn’t have chosen this place!”“Ok, but don ’t say I didn ’t warn you, ” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He builtthat cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. Afterthree hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He wasso proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“‘ You are clearing too much land, ’ warned one old man. ‘ The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’“‘ Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land, I can growmore crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them forfood and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seepingto the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the nativeplants.”“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He tremb led, twistinghis body closer to the fire.“The land hit back---- just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. ”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t , ”Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted ( 晕倒 ). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom ’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.46. The underlined word“dare” in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to ________.A.courageB.assistanceC. instructionD. challenge47.Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A.To frighten them.B.To satisfy their curiosity.C.To warn them of the danger of the place.D.To persuade them to camp in the swamp.48.Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A. The old man envied him.B.The old man was foolishC. He was too busy to listen to others. more crops.49. Why did Tom scream and faint?A.He saw Dennis ’s shadowscared by a plantC. His friends played a joke on him. became extremely cold.D. He was greedyB. He wasD. The weatherfor50.What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A.Grasp all, lose allB.No sweat, no sweet.C.It is no use crying over spilt milkD.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.（C）Last night ’s meteor( 流星 )shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothsclild,Emerald Valley ’s mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city,carrying heavy telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby,“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.”Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily inthe past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight againstit.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observersthat suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds,bats frogs,snakes,etc.For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁移的 )birds.According to the International Dark- Sky Association.“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡） result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but somescientists think it can be harmful for humans, too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negativeeffects of light pollution.For years,Flagstaff,Arizona,has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at theLowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movementis underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so thatother creatures can share the night.51.It happened last night thatA.the city ’s lights affected the meteor watchingB. the meteors flew past before being noticedC. the city light show attracted many peopleD. the meteor watching ended up a social outing52. What do the astronomers complain about?A. Meteor showers occur less often than beforeB. Their observation equipment is in poor repairC.Light pollution has remained unsolved for yearsD. Their eyesight is failing due to art ificial lighting53.What the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration pathsB. Animals ’ living habits may change suddenlyC.Varieties of animals will become sharply reducedD. Animals ’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting54. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect toA. Lessen the chance of getting cancerB. create an ideal observation conditionC. ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD. enable all creatures to live in harmony55. What message does the author most want to give us?A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselvesB. Great efforts should be made to save energyC.Human activities should be environmentally friendlyD. New equipment should be introduced for space study(D)Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is becausethey do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing ’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else ’s world from the inside,stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it alsoinvolves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, thespeaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our businessdealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usuallydoing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversationover as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many ofus are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we don ’t want to hear.It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the firstfew months of psychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chiefamong them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.56.The phrase“stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means_______.A.preparing a topic list firstB. focusing on one’s own mindC. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. experiencing the speaker’s inside world57. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?A.How to listen well.C.B. What to listen to.Benefits oflistening.D. Problems in listening58. According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.A.activelylistenB.listen purposefullyC.set aside their prejudicesD. open up their inner mind59. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.A.they were taken good of.they were truly listened to.C.they had partners to to.care B. they knewtalkD. theyknew the roots of problems.60. What type of writing the article likely to be ?A. Science fictionB. A newsreport.C.

AO. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the readers' surprise.21. What is the correct order for O. Henry to do the following things?A. lived in New YorkB. worked in a bankC. travelled to TexasD. was put in prisonE. had a newspaper jobF. learned to write storiesA. e, c, f, b, d, aB. c, b, e, d, a, fC. e, b, d, c, a, fD. c, e, b, d, f, a22.

It was a member of the chicken family. The bird was discovered by European sailors in 1507 on Mauritius Island.When the sailors talked about the strange bird that could not fly, you can imagine people found it hard to believe their story. The Europeans who settled on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very good to eat. So large numbers of dodoes were killed and by 1681 no living dodoes were found on the island. A few dodoes were brought to England in the 17th century, but for 200 years none have been seen alive. This is the reason for the phrase "as dead as a dodo". Because they died out completely, the dodoes became very well-known.25.What was so unusual about dodoes as a bird?A. They lived longer than other birds.B. They looked like birds but couldn't fly.C. They were very good to eat.D. They were all killed.26.
