Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.A“Excuse me”，said a young man，standing shyly at the open church door. “I'm here to pick up an Easter basket for my daughter. Am I in the right place？”“Well，we have baskets，but they're not Easter baskets for kids；they're food baskets,”I explained.That morning I arrived at St.Michael's Church in Carmichael，California，to help give out the baskets to needy families for Easter. To make sure every family would receive one，we had handed out numbers to them that matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a whole ham，potatoes，bread，vegetables，and a pie—enough food to help feed a family for a week.“Why don't you come in？”I said to the man. He looked disappointed. He shook his head and said，“I can't...My daughter is waiting for me ove r there. I'm grateful for the food，but when I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter...well，I thought they would be Easter baskets for children.” He continued，“I promised my daughter one，and I wanted to surprise her.”I felt bad，but there was nothing I could do. The man handed me his number，and I walked over to the baskets. A bulge(凸起)in one of the baskets caught my eye. “What is that？”I wondered. Leaning over and looking more closely，I could see，unmistakably，an Easter basket—filled with candy，chocolate，and Easter eggs. One of the volunteers must have added it by mistake！I thought. Then I looked at the man's number in my hand. Well，he'll be...“Happy Easter，”I said to the man，handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside—the very same basket with his number on it. “Someone knew just what you needed.”56．The young man had thought that ________.A．he would have an Easter basket and a food basketB．there would be Easter baskets for childrenC．there would be children's toys in the food basketD．he would get enough food for the whole year57．What did the author do at the church?A．He worked there as a churchman.B．He was called in to give out Easter baskets.C．He went there to meet the young man.D．He was a volunteer who helped there.58．The young man looked disappointed at first because ________.A．he was told not to take a food basketB．there was little food in the Easter basketC．he came so late that all the baskets had been given outD．he was told that he wouldn't get what he wanted59．What surprised the author was that ________.A．there was an Easter basket in the food basketB．someone knew what the young man neededC．one of the baskets was filled with more bread than othersD．he found that the young man's name was on the basket60．We can infer that the young man left the church feeling ________.A．sad B．satisfiedC．angry D．surprisedBNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."Bu t those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.61. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill62. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories63. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America64. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?A. some memories can ruin people's lives.B. people want to get rid of bad memories.C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. the pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.65. You may probably read the passage in __________A. a guidebookB. a textbookC. a medical magazineD. a science fictionCMy primary education was done through online education，which meant I didn't often come into contact with large groups of people of my age. Not having a peer group of my age also meant that I never had to do things to behave in the same way as others，and I grew up doing things the way I wanted.I was very naive(天真的) when I started high school. On the first day I didn't realize there was a right way to wear a school hat. In fact，on that first day I did a lot of things wrong—like being the only person in the school who had a tongue ring. That ring made me considered a troublemaker，and by the first break I was given life membership to the “out” crowd. So I put my hair into my hat and took out the tongue ring.It seemed more important to be like others than finding out what it meant to be me.I spent all my energy trying to conform. I couldn't work out why I was so unhappy when I'd achieved what I thought I wanted.After many tears and sleepless nights，my teacher took me aside and asked why I was upset. I told him though I tried to fit in at school，I still felt unhappy. He asked me why I cut my hair off，and I told him that I wanted the same kind of hairstyle that the other girls had.He said，“You've started doing things to please other people. If you don't do it for yourself，you will always feel upset. If the people at school don't like you for who you are，then it's their problem.” What he said was true. I started trying to do things for myself. After that I felt a lot better.66．From the second paragraph，we can learn that ________.A．the other students didn't like the authorB．the author didn't wear a hat on the first dayC．the author was considered to be a troublemaker by the teacherD．everybody wanted to make friends with the author67．The underlined word “conform” in the third paragraph means ________.A．to behave like others B．to behave differentlyC．to behave in a wrong way D．to behave in a special way68．According to the teacher，the author felt upset because ________.A．she did her primary education through online educationB．she had a tongue ring on the first day of schoolC．she didn't know the right way to wear a hatD．she tried to please others instead of herself69．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The author cut her hair off because it looked cool.B．The author followed her teacher's advice at last.C．What the teacher said made the author feel sadder.D．The author didn't want to make friends with others.70．What's the passage mainly about?A．How to overcome sadness at school. B．How to get along with others at school. C．The pains to fit in at school. D．The problem of loneliness.PART FOUR WRITING(45分)Section A (10分)SECTION C（10marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what theseverely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability that counts.Section B (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Scientists have determined it's not advisable to hurry marriage．But what’s the best age to wed?When Avril Lavigne announced she was splitting from her husband, comments from her friends suggested that she was only 21 when she tied the knot and later she said that she realized she'd been too young to make such a life-altering decision．Could fellow young celebrity divorcées（离婚者） Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Britney Spears have also hit the same age-related issue?The Magic NumberThere are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to two biggies: education and money．It turns out that the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day, the lower the chances that she'll get divorced ．．．and by 25, you're more likely to have earned a degree or two．Educated women tend to be more confident about who they are and less willing to settle for a man who doesn't meet their standards．Odds（可能性） are that by 25 you're also supporting yourself, so there's less incentive（刺激; 鼓励）for you to rush into marriage because you're seeking financial security from him．But the marriage-related benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure．Learning to budget your cash carefully when you're single will help you avoid financial problems—one of the main causes of couple fights—for the rest of your life．Knowing the Real YouAt 25, you've had time for some crucial life experiences, including arelationship or two that may have improved your Mr．Right radar．You've probably dated enough to have a better idea of what you don't want in a man, which makes it easier to know what you can live with and can't live without．Perhaps the most important aspect of waiting is that you'll know what your goals and values really are．While you don't want to marry someone just like you, marriage is a lot easier if you two share a similar outlook on life．Twenty-four and already married to the man of your dreams? Don't worry: Many young marriages survive．But given the choice, you might consider putting off the big day until your mid-20s or later．81．What main factors influence the mid-20s dividing line? （No more than 3 words）_______________________________________________________________________ 82．According to the author, why does a couple probably fight？（No more than 4 words）________________________________________________________________________ 83．How do you know what you don’t want in a man? （No more than 5 words）_______________________________________________________________________ 84．What suggestion does the passage mainly give? （No more than 10 words）_______________________________________________________________________ Section C(25分)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese．学校一年一度的校园文化节胜利闭幕了，我们的文艺汇演取得了前所未有的成功,在社会上反响强烈,好评如潮.但之前同学们却没有表现出像往年的兴趣和热情, 面对这一现象，有人提出校园文化节还要不要举办的问题，这引起了同学们的讨论。

What lesson do we obtain from the short story? We should be _____________.A. subjectiveB. generousC. strictD. objectiveBA letter to Edward, a columnistDear Mr. Expert:I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine — so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometimes— it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy?JoanEdward’s reply to JoanDear Joan:If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with— or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So ple ase call before you come over.”61. We can learn from the first letter that Joan Edward_______.A. lives away from her parentsB. takes pride in her friendsC. knows Mr. Expert quite wellD. hates her parents very much62.

She is afraid of hurting her friends.B. She does not understand true friendship.C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.D. She does not put her needs first.64. The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means__________.A. dependent lifeB. fierce fightC. bad mannersD. painful feeling65. The second letter suggests that Mr. Expert________.A. is worried about Joan’s problemB. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friendsC. advises Joan on how to refuse peopleD. encourages Joan to be brave enoughCThe bicycle is the common sight in our daily life, as a great many Chinese use one every day. But you may not know its role in strengthening international relations, as it did in the case of US President George W. Bush’s visit to China last November.President Bush arrived in Beijing on November 19, 2005 after he finished the APEC meeting in South Korea.He met with Chinese top leaders and achieved agreements on trade, Taiwan issue and more.Although Bush’s trip was short as 40 hours, he managed to spare a moment to do some cycling. On November 20, he rode up and down a steep path at Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijing’s suburbs.Six young Chinese cyclists accompanied the president, who was dressed in a Chinese training uniform with the “Beijing 2008” logo. He did not go along the arranged route and chose a more zigzag(曲折的) hiking path.“How do you say, ‘take it easy on the old man’?” Bush joked to his partners before sett ing out.“Compared with my bike path on the Crawford ranch (农场) , this one is greater and really difficult,” said Bush when his 45-minute ride ended. He said he will come to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.This is not Bush’s first cycle ride in Beijing. In 1975 at the age of 29, he visited the Chinese capital for the first time, when his father was head of the US liaison office (联络处) in Beijing, which Bush described as “fantastic”.However, observers said Bush’s ride is much more than just his favorite pastime. It expressed friendliness with people in China, where the bicycle is an important part of life and culture.According to the Washington Post, one of the major newspapers in the US, this was a specially arranged activity by the US government, for they want to send the Chinese a sign of friendship. “The president is by no means hostile (有敌意的) to China,” it said.66. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Every Chinese has at least one bicycleB. The bicycle is the common sight in our daily lifeC. Bicycle can play a role in improving relationship between nationsD. President George W. Bush is fond of cycling67. How long have George W. Bush stayed in Beijing?A. 48 hoursB. 20 hoursC. 40 hoursD. 44 hours68. President George W. Bush went cycling ______.A. wearing a T-shirt with the “Beijing 2008” logoB. up and down a smooth path on Laoshan MountainC. accompanied by six young Chinese policemenD. along a more challenging way without arrangement69. Bush said “take it easy on the old man” to his partners probably because ______.A. he wanted to make them easyB. he wanted to make a joke about themC. he wanted to tell them it would be a more zigzag hiking pathD. he wanted to show them it would not be an easy task for an old man70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Bush’s first cycle ride was in 1975.B. Bush’s ride was specially arranged by the Washington Post.C. Bush’s ride is more a sign of friendship than just his favorite pastime.D. Bush will come to Beijing to take part in the Olympic cycling games in 2008.DMUSIC is everything to Super Girl Jane Chang (Zhang Liangying). She’s been singing, wearing, and sleeping it for most of the past 22 years – her entire life.To share her joy with young people, Chang joined Nokia music’s charity program Music Gets Me Talking Love. A group of artists, including Chang, Ken Wu (Wu Kequn) and Tank (Lu Jianzhong), have recorded the song Hearing the Love. The aim is to raise public awareness of hearing-impaired youth and the need for hearing protection. “Once I had the music too loud in my earphones performing on stage,” Chang said. “I was half-deaf for the next few days. I came to understand the cost of losing one’s hearing.”21st Century spoke with Chang in Beijing about fame.21st: You shot to fame quickly during the Super Girl contest in 2005. How did fame affect your life and your attitude towards it?Chang: It’s hard to resist the changes, and I’ve kept adjusting.First, I’ve got a different view of work. Before, I would go crazy if there were a great number of unsolved problems, and keep complaining, “When will I finish and have a break?” But now I’ve learnt to stop complaining, and ask myself “What else needs to be done? Let me do it right now!”I’ve come to realize that I have to do everything after all, whether I complain or not. So, why not have a positive mood? I just do everything efficiently –then I’m free and don’t have to worry.21st: What do you like or dislike most about being in entertainment?Chang: I love performing. Being on stage is when I feel most relaxed and confident. Photo shoots are one thing that I hate. When I’m at big events, the photographers always yell, “Look over here! Look over there!” At first, I found it very strange, and felt like I was being messed with.I thought it was unfair. That’s because I was unprepared for the spotlight. No one told me exactly how to face the media and photo shoots, and I was often at a loss about what to do next. Now I’ve figured the procedure out, and I want to put more energy into singing and performing.Complete the notes below according to the passage above:To Super Girl Jane Chang (Zhang Liangying), what she depends on is 71 . Chang cooperated with a group of artists, including Ken Wu (Wu Kequn) and Tank (Lu Jianzhong). They 72 the song Hearing the Love, which was aimed at raising public 73 of hearing-impaired youth and the need for 74 hearing. Chang said she would be 75 for the next few days once she had the music too loud in her 76 performing on stage. When asked how 77 affected her life, she told the reporter she had learned how to 78 to the environment and began to __79_ that she had to do everything after all, whether she 80 or not.第II卷V.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context. (15%)Choosing a husband or wife is one of the most important decisions in a person's life because a good maniage can mean the difference between a happy and an unhappy life. In many cultures, youngmen and women choose their own marriage 40 . In some cultures, on the other hand, parentsarrange their children's marriages. 41 arranged marriages have both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage to having parents arrange a marriage is 42 security. Of course, money doesn't 43 bring happiness, but a lack of money certainly causes 44 in any relationship. A second advantage of an ananged maniage is that parents may make a better 45 than their children. They are not only 46 but also wiser. Also, parents have been married, therefore, they know betterwhat qualities are desirable in a spouse. 47, parents may be better judges of character than young people, who often let uence their judgment. In49 , arranged marriages may be happy because parents choose with their heads, not with their50.On the other hand, arranged marriages may have some disadvantages. One51 disadvantage is that parents may make a poor choice and the young couple may never be52together. A second obvious disadvantage is that a young man or woman may already have fallen in love with someone else. If the parents force him or her to marry their choice, the result will be 53 unhappy people.In conclusion, neither an arranged marriage nor a marriage for 54 is necessarily going to be happy. Both kinds of marriages take work, patience and perhaps a little bit of luck. 40. A. couple B. parents C. partners D. date 41. A. So B. Such C. Some D. Other 42. A. financial B. happiness C. time D. future 43. A. quickly B. necessarily C. highly D. slowly 44. A. danger B. stress C. burden D . joy45. A. living B. collection C. choice D. family 46.

Choose the one that fits best according to the infoimatlon given in the passage you have just read.（8%）AThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher-— Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present, too. It was his mother's perfiime （香水）.Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy's mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in tlie class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, 'Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D5 （医学博士）.The story doesn't end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.,, Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could mak e a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you”.()55.

But early horses weren't tame (驯服的)enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed tlie wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication.As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep strong animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals5 genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.Modern-day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn't exist in the horse population before domestication. The Stetland horse is one of the smallest breeds—typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井)with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. people bred these heavy tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heave loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horses were important tools in the advancement of modem agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people totravel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new form of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.()59. Before domestication horses were.A.caught for sports.B.hunted for foodC.made to pull ploughsed to carry people()60. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to showA.it is smaller than the Clydesdale horse.B.horse used to have gentle personalities.C.some horses have better shaped than others.D.horses were ofless variety before domestication()61.Horses contributed to the spread of culture by.A.carrying heavy loads.B.changing farming methods.C.serving as a means of transportD.advancing agriculture in different areas.()62. Thepassageis mainly about.A.why human domesticated horses.B.how humans and horses needed each other.C.why horses came in different shapes and sizes.D.how human societies and horses influenced each other.Section CDirections : Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(8%)Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married:Bob because he wanted Annie and she(though she was fond of Bob in her own way) because she could at last lead a life away from her family.When Mrs. Thompson suggested that they many and live with her in Dover Street until they could get a house of their own, Annie hesitated. Her ideal of marriage had been something which brought her a husband and an orderly, well-fiimished home all at once. But she soon saw the advantages of this arrangement.She would, first of all, escape from her present life into a house which was quiet and efficiently run, not like her own； and she would be able to go on working so that she and Bob could save up all the money more quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class girl: good-natured and ready to be bent for her whenever it was necessaiy.Things went well until her mother-in-law r s death, when Annie had to give up her job and was at home all day. Her fether-in-law became just a silent figure in the house and although Bob became used to him? Annie began to find the old man's constant presence in the house a source of growing annoyance.“He gets on my nerves, Bob, "she said one niglit when they were alone. "Just sitting there all day and me having to clean up around him. And he hardly says a w ord from getting up in a morning to going to bed. ”“Well, I suppose he has a right to do as he likes, "Bob said mildly. "It's his house, not ours. We're the lodgers, if anybody. " But to Annie, now looking after the house as if it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)63.Annie was eager to get married because .64.What Annie had hoped for from married life was to have a husband and65.What kind of man was Bob?66.Why did Annie find her father-in-law annoying?第II卷I.Translation( 18%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.

It’s surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to wha t the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.A study was done with two-to-three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children took part in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes/no questions. For example, the parents should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed in how to expand on their children’s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group tested 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.36. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Children who talk more can develop their language skills better.B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C. Active children should read more.D. Verbal ability cannot easily be increased.37. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about reading?A. Do you see the elephant?B. Is the elephant in the cage?C. What animals do you see?D. Shall we go to the zoo?38. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group?A. The training that parents received.B. The age of the children.C. The books that were read.D. The number of children.39. What conclusion is best supported by the passage?A. Parents should be trained to read to their children.B. The more children read, the cleverer they become.C. Children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.D. Children who read actively act six months older.BWe often hear people say, “I have a good memory for things like that” or “I can remember names”. But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very important part?For early men, there were dangerous all around them—bad weather, wild animals. The key to keep on living lay in man’s ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned how to deal with them, he became civilized(文明). Surprisingly, scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon in a particular hotel, it’s likely that you’l l remember your stay quite clearly.Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation(巩固). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells(神经细胞) acting like a computer. When those changes strengthen the links(联系) in certain nerve cells, a thought becomes part of the long-term memory.40. According to the author, without the development of man’s memor y there would be .A. no modern worldB. no recorded historyC. no animalsD. no dangers41.

As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time,” and hung up.Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”44. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and.A. preferred to stay alone at homeB. lost interest in his studiesC. refused to talk to othersD. began to dislike his mother45. There was silence on the other end of the line because .A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the motherB. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speakingC. the speaker didn’t want the mother to recognize his voiceD. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother46.

What is the main idea of this passage?A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.B. Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.D. School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.DToday, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost.From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Traveling by air is as safe as by car.B. Traveling by air is not as safe as by car.C. Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air.D. Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air.49. The air traffic controllers of an airport .A. control all the planes flying near the airportB. give orders to planes leaving the airportC. only deal with the planes that want to land thereD. are ordered to handle 2500 planes a day in England50. The danger of air crashes grows every year because .A. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavierB. a pilot does not always hear a controller’s orderC. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakesD. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes51. The example in the passage is to show that .A. air traffic controllers are often carelessB. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidentsC. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsD. two planes should not fly too close to each otherELooking for simple, effective ways to help kids grow up bucking the national obesity（肥胖）trend?Here’s advic e from a new study:—Make sure kids eat healthfully, starting with a good breakfast every day.—Limit kids’sedentary(久坐的) free time.—Promote positive self-esteem(自尊) in children.—Be a good role model for a healthy life.Those tips come from Ashley Cross man, a graduate student at Arizona State University’s sociology department. She looked at data from national surveys of about 6,400 teens and young adults.Crossman presented her findings in Philadelphia at the American Sociological Association’s annual meeting.What is Obesity?Healthy HabitsParticipants who grew up to have a healthy weight had some common traits. As teens, they ate breakfast, had good self-esteem, and were too busy to spend tons of time watching TV or playing computer games. Their parents also had some things in common: healthy weight, more education, and control over their kids’ diets. Parents’ income and kids’ race didn’t make a difference, notes Crossman.Food for ThoughtMany factors affect weight, but “our research suggests that prevention must begin at home,” writes Crossman. Healthy eating and active lifestyles are part of the solution she recommends.Physical activity is promoted as part of a healthy life (get a doctor’s OK first). In this study, “active” didn’t always mean tons of exercise. Teen’s part-time jobs, volunteer activities, and hobbies also helped by reducing time with TV or computer games, notes Crossman.The American Academy of Pediatrics recom-mends that children at risk should be identified by virtue of family history of obesity, and other factors such as environment. Parents and caregivers should be encouraged to promote healthy eating patterns by offering nutritious snack such as fruit and vegetables, low-fat diary products, and whole grains; setting appropriate limits and modeling healthy food choices. They also recommend limiting television and viewing time toa maximum of two hours a day.52. The passage is mainly about .A. American living habitsB. best prevention for obesityC. c hildren’s self-esteemD. healthy food for children53. By mentioning the four pieces of advice from a new study, the author wants to show .A. he has benefited from itB. he shares the same opinion with Ashley CrossmanC. the importance to obey the rulesD. the origin of the advice54. The underlined word “traits” means .A. charactersB. testsC. favouritesD. cures55. It can be learned from the last paragraph that .A. American children are tired of traditional way of eatingB. there should be no limit when children are fond of healthy snackC. it is necessary to have a limit on things connecting with childrenD. watching TV for two hours is bad for children’s health第四节：对话填空。
