满分20分）My life suffered a lot five years ago when my father died of an accident, 31 my mother and two younger brothers alone. At that time, I was in a senior high school. As the eldest son, I had no choice but to 32 of the school and work in a factory. Life went on without any 33 . I didn’t dare to ask for more, just hoping to 34 two younger brothers. However, that’s not an easy thing, for I couldn’t 35 their tuition even if I worked from day to night. The present misery made me want to have 36 try, but it seemed 37 , for I couldn’t lose this job.A thread of hope sparkled (闪耀) in those 38 days suddenly. It was a rainy dusk when I walked in the rain. Suddenly the rain stopped 39 . I raised my head and found that “the sky” was in fact a dark blue 40 . Then I heard a deep voice. “Why not run 41 an umbrella?” a one-leg man with a walking stick said to me. “ 42 you run, you would get less wet.” His words 43 me deeply. He told me he once had dreamed of being a policeman, but an accident ruined his 44 . Later he became a promoter (推销员). Though his present work was 45 and didn’t suit for his leg, every outing was a wonderful start to him. He was glad that he didn’t 46 and still “run” on the road of life…Inspired by his remarks, I became an assurance representative. After two years’ struggle, I made it and my family turned 47 gradually. I returned to my senior high school, and eventually succeeded in my 48 to university.Everything is so simple: To run without an umbrella!

You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubbles(泡沫) there. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator to Australia to find the most expensive homes.The report measured a city’s housing market along the following guidelines. Affordable home required three times or less of average family’s income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the unaffordable category. And a seriously unaffordable home required five times a family’s income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9.5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, Melbourne were only a little under this figure. Australia officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing (配给制) and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will be only solved through urgent action by the government.Some Americans cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage crisis, though, affecting the affordable homes. Yet a number of US cities gained affordable status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with affordable homes.The survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if you are Australian.51. Which city has the most expensive houses?A. Dallas.B. Sydney.C. Kansas.D. California.52. To buy an affordable house, you should pay .A. 3 times or less of the average family’s incomeB. 4 times or less of the average family’s incomeC. 5 times or less of the average family’s incomeD. 6 times or less of the average family’s income53. What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?A. The rising of family’s incomeB. The demand oversupplyC. The excessive development chargesD. The decrease of land54. The underlined word “dismal” in Paragraph 3 may mean.A. cheerfulB. satisfactoryC. difficultD. sad55. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Housing BubbleB. A House is a Dream FirstC. Affordable HousesD. Homes Too ExpensiveB篇There are many differences between America and China. The biggest difference is traffic rules. In America there are too much more cars than in China. But there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China. We hardly see traffic police in the street, but all cars obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street.About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as:1. Stop line: There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). All cars must stop while meeting the stop line.2. Traffic light: There is traffic light in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction. The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. When he thinks being safe, he may turn left. In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. If people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. Only so, they may do it.3. Specific item:Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of cars. There are many streets in some residential areas (住宅区), and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. In every parking, there are some special positions for invalid (伤残的) people.4. About the priority of passenger and car: At any case, passengers have the priority to cars. And only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep, cars may go ahead.In general, traffic rules of America are very specific, convenient, safeand humanizing.56. Which of the following is NOT the reason why we can hardly see trafficpolice in the street in America?A. Traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break trafficrules.B. The traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidentsin the street.C. There are so many cars in the street that the traffic police can’t beseen.D. The effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety.57. Why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road?A. It is designed for the cars that want to turn left.B. It is very safe to drive there.C. It is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that breakthe rules.D. The cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In America, all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stopline.B. In America, any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas.C. If people want to turn, they can obey the guide of the traffic police.D. There are more traffic jams in China.59.

Some businesses cut down on the amount of paper they use and wastage they create, but there are more ways inwhich a business can be green. Many businesses do this by using web conferencing (网络会议).Web conferencing is an easy and effective way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. With web conferencing, all participants attend the conference from the comfort of their own desk. When the conference is ready to begin, all participants can sit in front of their computers and they will be connected to the Internet.Clearly, in doing this, no fuel is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work time is taken up in attending a conference.Any material to be used during the web conferencing is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. This not only saves paper but also great ly reduces mailing costs.As a conference hall or business centre isn’t being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power that is used by the participants’personal computers. Similarly, conference organizers don’t have to arrange food or overnight accommodation (住宿) for participants of their conferences. All these mean that less energy is used.Often in business some companies actively choose to do business with other companies that do many things to reduce their negative effect on the envi ronment. And web conferencing helps you show other businesses that you’re willing to work hard for the green cause.So any business that is going to improve its green initiatives (新方案) and is proactive in reducing its negative effect on the environment should consider that web conferencing is a highly positive and beneficial step towards achieving this.61. According to the passage, many companies use web conferencing because they .A. are interested in using the new technologyB. think web conferencing is more convenientC. want to do something to protect the environmentD. don’t have enough money to hold a traditional conference62. The participants of a web conference .A. will be e-mailed an invitation before the conferenceB. are required to sit in an office togetherC. will receive a great many paper materialsD. have to own computers connected to the Internet63.

Would you like to say sorry to him or her first if you don’t want to stop your friendship with him or her? The following are well worth reading.It’s not about winning. Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he’s wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize. In reality, you’ll both lose if you let the fight spoil your friendship, and you will both win if you find a way to make up.Put aside your pride. Maybe you think you will lose your pride if you say sorry to your friend, which means you admit that you are wrong. Therefore you just wait for your friend to say sorry. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about. Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend. So just put your pride aside if you want your friendship to keep going.Take the first step. Try being the first to apologize. You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something that you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a mi llion times better.Apologizing isn’t about “bowing down” to your friend or becoming a “doormat.” It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument, and inviting him or her to take responsibility too. If your friend thinks he’s “won” just because you’ve apologized, then he’s not ready to make up yet.66. What does the passage mainly tell us? （No more than 20 words）67. Why is it important to say sorry to your friend after a fight? ( No more than 12 words)68. In what way is friendship different from the Super Bowl? （No more than 8 words）69. Please explain the underlined word “spoil” in English. (No more than 5 words)70. Does apologizing mean losing pride? Why? (No more than 25 words)第二节：书面表达 ( 满分15分 )中学生相互交流的途径很多。
