It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. I thought of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person just nodded to my 35 "Happy New Year" when I sat in front of him.

He was busy at that moment. After a few minutes he took my form and started filling in my details. I sat there36 why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms.

After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all37 of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. He shouted even without looking at me, "Nothing is done, it will take time!"

Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned 38 cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man must be feeling when customers 39 me came always in a hurry to get their work done. We did not even 40 the need to thank them for being there. He must

be feeling so 41that "here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first."

On an instinct (直觉) I told him, "Sir, please have your tea, I am not in a hurry." He suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact. I saw both of us sailing in the same boat. I felt that he was also 42 the small things in life like a cup of hot tea for a few more minutes. He gave me a smile and said, "It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but 43else will come, who will be in a hurry,"

He really touched my heart with his wise44. I felt that we had all put shields (盾牌) on our hearts like we put gloves on our hands. All this time I thought of him as a robot, someone who was there for my convenience, 45 today I suddenly felt a strange closeness with him. I promised to be more friendly with people who helped me and be 46 that they were there for me.

The day when the jobs were handed out was the most exciting for thechildren in the class. Every child was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.

As some jobs were more interesting than others, the children were eager to be given one of the best. Among them Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl. Last year she carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. She was the favorite to be given the best job —— to look after the class dog.

But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books for the lessons, cleaning the blackboard or looking after one of the pets. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box with some sand and one ant. Although the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed.

“I will turn this little task into something great,” Rita said to herself. She started to study everything about the little ant, gave it the best food and made the box perfect. The ant ended up growing quite a little bigger.

One day, the teacher announced that Rita’s class had been chosen to accompany Doctor Martinez to the tropical rainforest to study all kinds of insects in summer, because the class had best cared for the little ant.

The class was filled with joy. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And children learnt that to be given the most important tasks you have to know how to be responsible even in what are apparently the smallest tasks.

50. How did Rita feel when she was given her job?

A. Disappointed.

B. Interested.

C. Worried.

D. Excited.

51. The class was chosen to go to the rainforest because _______.

A. everyone did a good job

B. Rita looked after the ant well

C. Rita was given the best job

D. the children studied the ant

52. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?

A. Being a good student will get praise and prizes.

B. Every teacher thanked Rita for being kind and quiet.

C. Studying insects can help people become more successful.

D. We should be responsible for the job even if it seems small.

C

A great many people, when they speak of home, tend to connect it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings (环境), and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality(多愁善感) toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.

In the old days, life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could call the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung(贴近) tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men.

Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized society, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents’ homes and lived in places of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word “home” been changed by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.

As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment(依恋). Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling, but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother cried. My father, however, showed that he knew how I felt. “Son,” he said, “I am not sorry that y ou are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time.”

53. Why are modern people willing to leave their parents’ homes?

A. Because they can afford the money to live outside.

B. Because there are no wild animals or enemies around.

C. Because the society provides them with the feeling of safety.

D. Because they are not actually satisfied with their environment.

54. What can we learn from the article?

A. Surroundings influence the way that people act.

B. Not many modern people have sentimentality toward home.

C. Rights to privacy are well protected in modern society.

D. Older people can hardly understand the leaving of the young.

55. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The History of Home

B. People and Home

C. Different Ideas about Home

D. Ideas of Home Have Changed

D

Depression is not a choice. Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease. In the United States alone, more than 17 million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease. Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not “crazy” or “weak”. They have a serious yet highly treatable disease.

Feeling down? You’re not a lone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And that’s what has scientists confused. If depression causes harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer. Depression may have an evolutionary (进化) benefit. It may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection (感染).

Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive(免疫反应性的) condition known as inflammation (炎症)，even when they are not infected. For several years they have been finding that genes (基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system. Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system. These findings suggested that depression was somehow linked to the body’s ability to fight disease .

Some scientists now come up with the idea that depression might have had an evolutionary advantage in the days before modern medicine and antibiotics(抗生素). Infection was a major cause of death in early human history. Surviving those infections determined which genes were passed to the next generation.

They suspect that depression helped people, especially children, survive infection. Extreme tiredness leads to inactivity and less social contact which helps keep infection from spreading. Having no appetite helps avoid food sharing which can also spread infection. Sleeplessness, which is associated with both depression and immune system activation, may have been a mechanism to keep a person alert (机警) to fight off enemies after injury.

If scientists are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression. They are interested in drugs that treat conditions where the immune system attacks the person’s own body, known as auto immune diseases. It is possible that medicine known to treat auto immune disease may be successful in treating depression also.

56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means ______.

A. there is a depression line between different groups and societies

B. people at a higher social position may tend to suffer from depression

C. people who are living with depression could connect with each other

D. anyone can get depression whatever their economic states and backgrounds are.

57. In Paragraph 2 the author ______.

A. introduces an idea on depression

B. gives an example to show his idea

C. explains how depression works

D. describes the depression problems

58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Depression can spread infection.

B. Stress may affect the function of the immune system.

C. Women are less likely to suffer from depression.

D. Modern medicine is widely used for treating depression.

59. The writer mainly wants to tell people that depression ______.

A. is serious but highly treatable disease

B. could have its advantages in scientific research.

C. may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection

D. is a true medical condition like high blood pressure

七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）

The professor always tried so hard. He had tons of brilliant ideas —— but they never worked. Time after time, he would dream up an amazing idea that was sure to change the world ——and then it didn’t. 60. “A time machine!” he shouted. The professor’s dream wasn’t just any old time machine. 61.

But his wife wasn’t so sure about the professor’s great idea. “It’ll never work. You can’t make time,” she doubted. The professor disagreed. “62If you can make mone y and save money, why can’t you do the same with time?”

In his workshop, the professor drew lots of plans for his new time machine. He soon lost track(轨道) of time. He created model clocks of every shape and size, 63. Finally, he made an amazing discovery —— a way to save time and give him lots of extra(额外) time. “I’ve got it!” he cried. “If I give up my time machine project, I’ll have plenty of time for other things!”

八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）

Beijing is a crowded city of high-rise buildings everywhere. When there is a fire, it can spread easily and quickly. Every year, there are thousands of people losing not only their property (财产) but also their loved ones in fires. In many cases, these fires happened because people were careless. So it is important to monitor (监督) some household activities.

Use of electrical appliances

Always pay attention to the electrical wiring and electrical appliances (电器) that you are using. Choose proper electrical appliances and use them correctly. For example, allow enough space behind your TV sets to make sure that there is room for the heat to escape. Do not put heaters near newspapers or other materials that can burn easily. When the electrical appliances are not in use, disconnect them from the electricity supply. When you notice problems with your electrical appliances, make

sure to repair or replace them quickly. It is also important to avoid connecting too many plugs to the same socket (插座) as fires may result.

Fire risks in the kitchen

The kitchen is a place where we can find fuel (燃料), cooking stoves and many different kinds of electrical appliances. Because of this, you have to be more careful when working in the kitchen. Before cooking, open the windows to allow fresh air into the kitchen. Do not leave the kitchen when a stove is in use. Keep food packages and waste paper away from a stove as well. If you smell strong gas in the kitchen, disconnect the gas supply and contact your gas supply company immediately. Matches and lighter s

Put matches and lighters in safe places. Do not let children play with them. Emergency exits

Do not block the emergency exits (紧急出口) or lock them. When there is a fire, the emergency exits are your main escape paths.

64. Why did fire happen in many cases?

65. Where shouldn’t we put the heater?

66. Is it important to avoid connecting too many plugs to the same socket?

67. What should we do before cooking?

68. What is the purpose of the passage?

There’s no doubt that parents have given me a lot since I was bo rn. With their care, I grow up happily. So I think it is necessary to do something special for them to show my gratitude.

Both of my parents love music. So it would be a great idea to buy a wonderful CD for them. Last Sunday, I went to a bookstore and chose one among the top 10. While we were having

dinner together, I played the CD. It was beautiful. With great joy, they gave me a warm hug and a big smile. I felt very sweet.

I was really proud that I did something for my parents. Their smiles were the best encouragement for me. I made up my mind to do things like this more often.

请听一段独白，完成第14至第16小题。

Trees are an important part of American history. All 50 states in America have official state trees, but many people do not know how and why these trees were chosen. Each state has its own special story about how its official state tree was chosen.

Texas was the first state to have a state tree. People in Texas made the pecan tree their official state tree in 1919. When people in other states heard about the news, they decided to have their offical state trees, too.

People in Minnesoda picked conifer trees because the trees were used for house and ship building, important industries in the state. Hawaii is the only state that chose a tree that was not native to its own state. Virginia chose the flowering dogwood tree because the flowers were beautiful in spring. Mississipi had an interesting way of picking their official state trees. They asked school children to choose the tree they liked best.

The next time you enjoy the shade of a tree, it might just be an official tree of the state you are in or a tree that helped build Ameica. In many ways, you could be standing in the shade of history.

M: I need to make some money so that I can take a trip to the north in February. Do you know any way of making money?

W: How about delivering papers?

M: I’ve already thought of that. But I don’t have a bike.

W: How about walking dogs?

M: What? Walking dogs?

W: Yeah, you know there are lots of people around here with little dogs.

M: I don’t know. How much can I make?

W: More than delivering papers. The dogs have to be walked every day —at least Monday through Friday when people are at work. A lot of people go away on weekends and someone has to look after their dogs then.

M: Well, I do like animals. How can I go about finding dogs to walk?

W: Put an advertisement in the Sunday Newspaper.

M: But how much do I ask for walking a dog? And how much is an ad ?

W: An ad is under ten dollars I’m sure. Walking a dog, you can try for two dollars for half an hour— that would be ten dollars for five times a week. You can walk four dogs every day after school. You can get rich.
