Despite my anxiety,I soon relaxed once I arrived; the staff were so nice that I felt my spoken English was better than itactually was! As soon as I walked into the dayroom of my boarding house,I was absolutely(完全地) amazed by the friendly atmosphere; everyone was so friendly that a boy as shy as I had no difficulty in setting in,and I made many new friends on my very first day,although I was struggling to remember all the names.Also I realized there were other international students in the house from all over the world,such as South Korea,Japan and Russia.Although t heir English was not so fluent,it didn’t take long for us to understand each other at all.In some ways,it was even better to practice Enlgish by speaking to the international students,because we were both learning.As a boarder,the quality of food is something I consider very important,and Merchiston has not let me down.The school kitchens are run by a professional catering company,and the quality of food is excellent,also they take the issue of a healthy diet really seriously.I remember once I was asked to take more salad for my meal by a member of the kitchen staff for I did not have enough vegetables.This brings to another point of being a boarder:you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible for yourself.One of the huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school,which means we don’t have to pull ourselves out of the bed as early as the daypupils!56.Why was the writer nervous when he was at Merchiston Castle School on the first day?A.Because he had no friends and relatives there.B.Because he didn’t know the school well.C.Because he was not good at English.D.Because he was shy.57.On the first day, .A.though the writer was anxious,he soon relaxedB.he found the dayroom of his boarding house terribleC.he made many new friends,but he didn’t remember any of their namesD.he thought he spoke English better than the staff in the school58.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A.In the boarding house,there are only students from South Korea,Japan and Russia.B.The international students in the boarding house don’t speak Englsih very fluently.C.The food in Merchiston doesn’t make the writer disappiointed.D.The professional catering company thinks the issue of a healthy diet is very important.59.The underlined word“boarder”in the first paragraph means“ ”.A. a student who is from abroadB. a student who lives at schoolC.a student who is good at EnglishD. a student who used to be shyBMany American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries. Along with this program,there is usually another one called the“American Host Family”program.As its name suggests,the program gets American families involved in foreign students’ lives in America and offers homes for them.Foreign students generally welcome such an opportunity to have a“family”here,but there are also those who prefer to stay“homeless”.Many American families volunteer to host foreign students.However,if there is a shortage of host families,schools also get in touch with local people and introduced foreign students to them. The“American Host Family”program changes in lengths of time.It can go from a few days to a few years,depending on each individual school.After the first year is over,it is up to foreign students and their“families”to decide if they want to stay together as a“family”.American families can host as many foreign students as they like.They can either have several students or just one at a time.Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones.Schools usually leave it to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet.My school, however, holds activities every year. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas,foreign students are usually invited to their thomes for dinner.Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions.It is typical that a host family invites its foreign daughter or son over,and they cook the student’s home food together,Undoubtedly,Chinese students are usually considered good cooks,whether or not they are really qualified for such praise at home.Although many Chinese students rarely cooked at home,they often have a hard time making their American friends believe that they cannot cook.It often happens when a Chinese student promises to cook a Chinese meal for his host family,he usually sees a little crowd expecting him:friends or relatives are also invitedover for the“special”Chinese food!60.The best title of the passage might be .A.Studying in the U.S.B.The“Host Family Program”in the U.S.C.The“Student Exchange Program”in the U.S.D.Activities in American Schools61.What’s the purpose of the“American Host Family program”?A.To bring foreign students closer to American life.B.To provide homes for foreign students.C.To make greater progress in the study of foreign students.D.To supply“sons”or “daughters”for American families.62.What can we know about the program from the fourth and fifth paragraphs?A.Its time,the number of students and families.B.Its activities,the number of schools and students.C.Its lengths of time,the number of students and activities.D.The number of students,the lengths of time and important holidays.63.We can know from the last paragraph that .A.foreign students must prepare their home food for their host familyB.not all Chinese students are good cooks in the eyes of AmericansC.it is good manners to invite relatives or friends to taste foreign foodD.Americans are very interested in foreign foodCDear Expert:I was asked to retrieve my 14-year-old daughter from a five-day camping trip.She was suffering from such severe separation anxiety,her teacher thought she should go home.She hadn’t eaten anything and had refused to participate in any activities.The thing is my daughter is extremely bright and has many friends;she organized a few friends into a band,and it belongs to several school clubs.She’s just always had an extreme fear of being away from home.I don’t want her to miss out on other trips.Yours truly,JonathanDear Jonathan:Sometimes kids can push through homesickness,but in other instances they become hurt mentally and develop greater anxiety around outings,which can worsen and prolong(延长) the problem.Separation anxiety can be the result of many complex interactions some genetic(遗传的) and some learned. People with high anxiety tend to be fearful and worried, ever when the sense of threat is minimum（最低程度）.Lots of talented,creative and successful people are exceedingly anxious.I believe your daughter is bright,active and popular,but simply can’t do well outside her home base.My suggestion is to take things in small steps,so your daughter can experience success,and always have a fallback(退却) plan if she needs it.For instance,she can plan an overnight with a friend,but assure her it’s no big deal to pick her up at midnight if she changes her mind. What’s important is to recognize the fear,and make plans to deal with whatever may cause distress.In other words,don’t try to talk your daughter out of her fears,equip her to master them.This way she’ll eventually gain the confidence to go on further trips.Yours truly,Expert64.What does the underlined word“retrieve”mean?A.Go with someone.B.Take someone back.C.Separate from someone.D.Miss someone.65.Which of the following statements is TURE?A. Separation anxiety is the result of different reasons.B. Separation anxiety is genetic.C.Only creative people suffer from separation anxiety.D.Separation anxiety is of the same level.66.When can’t the 14-year-old daughter function well?A.When organizing a band at school.B. When she is not far away from her home.C.When she is in a club.D. When she is camping far away from home.DThe first day of school we were interested to get to know a new classmate.I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I found a little old lady with a warm smile.She said,“Hi ! I’m Rose.I’m 87 years old.Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and I heartily responded,“Of course!”“Why are you in college at such a young,innocent(天真无邪的)age?”I asked.She jokingly replied,“I’m here to meet a rich husband,get m arried,have children, and then travel around.”“Not seriously,”I asked.I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”she told me.We became instant friends.Over the year,Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students.At the end of the semester,we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.Here are the secrets to staying young.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You’ve got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams,you die.Unfortunately we have many people like this walking around?”she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.That doesn’t take any talent or ability,”she added.“But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change.Have no reg rets.The elederly usually don’t regret what they did,but rather things they did not do.”One week after graduation that year,Rose died peacefully in her sleep.She taught us by example that__________________.67.Why was Rose in college at 87?

Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak,though the word“obey”is hardl y accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child.Before they can speak,many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties.It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight,pain,friendliness,and so on.But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language.It is agreed,too,that fromabout three months they play with sounds for enjoyment,and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store.This selfimitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into.The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of“mama”as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father,his dog,or anything else he likes.Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself,I doubt,however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.72.Before children start speaking .A.they need equal amount of listeningB.they need different amounts of listeningC.they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD.they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions73.Children who start speaking late .A.may have problems with their listeningB.probably do not hear enough language spoken around themually pay close attention to what they hearD.often take a long time in learning to listen properly74.The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech .A.is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB.is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD.is one that should be completely ignored(忽略) because children’s use of words is often meaningless75.The speaker wants to tell us that .A.parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. even after they have learnt to speak,children still enjoy imitatingD. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly第II卷(非选择题，共三部分，共45分)四、写作(共三节，满分45分)第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误，每行都有一处错。
