ADavid Beckham was born on 2nd May, 1975, in the suburbs of London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skill award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led to him going for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy at secondary school he played for the schools of Essex and also for his county team.On 8th July, 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under- 21 team. On 2nd April, 1995, he played his first major football league game against Leeds United. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both seasons , with David scoring many goals.His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1997/7 season, he scored an amazing goal from beyond the halfway line. Seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, David sent the ball over the goalkeepers head and into the goal. It was a wonderful goal and Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157kph. He also had the ability to make the ball curl from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. He could made it glide high through the air, or dive down steeply. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.1. Which word can take the place of the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 1?A. successB. InterestC.

On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again.I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.5. The newspaper-seller______.A. didn’t know where the hotel wasB. didn’t understand what the writer saidC. could understand what the writer saidD. didn’t want to take the money from the writer6. From the story we know that the policeman______.A. was kind but didn’t understand the writerB. told the writer where to take a trainC. knew what the writer really meantD.was cold-hearted and didn’t help the writer7.

He went too far in the wrong bus.D.He followed the policeman’s direction.CWay of Life for StudentsThe Internet is way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband(宽带)connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing(冲浪)habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.The study also showed that 65 percent make loan(贷款)payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.9. College students in the US, as this passage shows,______.A. waste much time visiting the InternetB. lead an exciting life by using the InternetC. don’t ha ve to learn their lessons in their classroomsD. spend too much time, in the opinion of the writer, visiting the Internet10.

AThey will shake hands in their historic meeting scheduled in Singapore on Saturday, head of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday.The two-part meeting includes one session open to the media and another behind closed doors, said Zhang Zhijun, who is also head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, when interviewed at the Zijinshan Summit for Entrepreneurs across the Taiwan Strait.According to Zhang, Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou, as "leaders of the two sides" of the Taiwan Strait, will exchange views during the closed-door meeting.After the meeting, press conferences will be held by both sides. Later, the two leaders are expected to attend a dinner, said Zhang.Zhang said the meeting will lift cross-Strait communication to a new high.The landmark meeting is a breakthrough in face-to-face exchange and communication between the leaders across the Taiwan Strait after the relationship became strained following the events of 1949.Zhang said the meeting will improve mutual trust and allow for an exchange of opinions on handling the cross-Strait ties.In addition, the meeting will help strengthen the 1992 Consensus, which was reached in talks between the two sides in 1992 and recognizes the one-China principle, and safeguards the peaceful development of cross-Strait ties, according to Zhang.Zhang added that the scheduled meeting will also benefit regional peace and stability.Also at Wednesday's summit, Chiang Pin-kung, former chairman of the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, hailed the upcoming meeting between the two leaders as a milestone for cross-Strait ties.Chiang said to the paper that he was sure the meeting will give a boost to the peaceful development of cross-Strait ties.1. According to the article, the meeting of the two leaders will _____.A. be held at the Zijinshan Summit for Entrepreneurs across the Taiwan StraitB. be the first face-to-face communication between people across the Taiwan StraitC. improve mutual trust and benefit regional peace and developmentD. be all open to the media2.

Even those who describe themselves as color-blind are normally just color lack. A strongly color-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colors, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble. It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.Not being able to see in color is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol, who’s a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it’s sunny I cannot see to do my work. ”But if being truly color-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world?Well, we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami. As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It’s believed he had a genetic fault that causes color-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herro1 and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though it’s hard work we enjoy it.”5. What is Pingelap famous as?A. A tiny island．B. A color-blind islandC. A mentally troubled island．D. A beautiful island．6. What can we infer about Herrol?A. He may stay at home when it’s sunny．B. He is interested in burnt-out images．C. He likes taking photos very much．D. He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more．7. What would be the best title for the text?A. The history of PingelapB. The disadvantage of HerrolC. The island of color blindnessD. The advantage of color blindnessCMost of us don’t remember our first two or three years of life. But our earliest experiences may stick with us for years and continue to influence us well into adulthood.A study, published in Child Development, found that the type of emotional support that a child receives during the first three and a half years has an effect on education, social life and romantic relationships even 20 or 30 years later.Babies raised in supportive and caring home environments tended to do better on tests later on, and they were more likely to get higher degrees as adults. They were also more likely to get along with their classmates and feel satisfied in their romantic relationships.“It seems like, at least in these early years, the parents’ role is to communicate with the children and let them know, ‘I’m here for you when you’re upset, when you need me. And when you don’t need me, I’m your cheerleader,’” says Lee Raby, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Delaware who led the study.Raby used data collected from 243 people who participated in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk. All the participants were followed from birth until they turned 32. “Researchers went into these kids’ home at times. Other times, they brought the children and their parents to the university and observed how they communicated with each other,” says Raby.Of course, parental behavior in the early years is just one of many influences, and it’s not necessarily causing the benefits seen in the study. While summarizing the results, the researchers accounted for the participants’ s ocial status and the environment in which they grew up.Finally, they found that about 10 percent of someone’s academic achievement was connected with the quality of their home life at three. Later experiences, genetic factors and even luck explain the other 90 percent.8. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A. individual experiencesB. child developmentC. human relationsD. educational background9. What can we learn about people who have had bad childhood experiences from the text?A. They don’t remember their younger days at all when growing up.B. They long for emotional support to do better at school.C. They can’t recover from separating from their parents.D. They are still affected by their earliest experiences even decades later.10. Researchers collected data mainly by ______.A. photographing the participants’ daily livesB. communicating with the participants’ parentsC. observing the participants’ behaviorD. summarizing the participan ts’ position第二节(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。

More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.

On二．阅读理解（每小题2分,共30分）A.Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor(a person who follows next in order) to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a distinguished scholar on History of the American South and head of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard.” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential sear ch committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a devoted teacher, and a wonderful human being.”Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been head of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题).Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conantretired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.“Teaching staff turned to her constantly,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. “She’s very clear. She hasa sense of humor, but she’s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she’s so solid.”21. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Harvard named its 1st female president.B. History of Harvard University changed.C. Debates on female equality ended.D. Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian.22.

Depressed teens provide accurate information about depression.B. Competent professionals will come to provide services if needed.C. Dealing with Depression receives government financial support.D. Dealing with Depression offers expert assistance and treatment.C.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(分类) as “honor” help youcreate this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions make happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and benefit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky（偷偷）excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be thankful to our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then , what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep inner rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is made by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts contribute to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier life. And it is easy to think and act honorably again when we are happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it is easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.28. Based on the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our________.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship29. The writer thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is similar to ________.A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising30. What’s our feeling if we make the clerk know her mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unlucky.C. We’ll have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.D.Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why dotheir parents just give them a certain amount? 31The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 32Some children get weekly pocket money.Others get monthly pocket money.First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first，some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 33In order to encourage their children to do some housework，some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 34Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 35 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.A. They can save it for future use.B. Timing is another consideration.C. As helping at home is a normal part of family life.D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child.F. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.G. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget. 三．单词拼写（每小题1分,共15分）36.

AWe’re a nation— a globe, in fact — obsessed with our hair. Analysts estimate the global hair product industry to be worth €22.6 billion, growing at a rate of up to seven percent a year. There seems to be no limit on what we’ll spend to avoid a bad hair day. But for devotees of an underground beauty movement, the secret lies in throwing away the shampoo, in fact all the hair products, for good.The “no—poo”method, which involves using natural substitutes or just water in place of shampoo and conditioner, is supported by several circles.Beauty insiders, including writers for women’s magazines and professional hairdressers, speak highly of how hair becomes thicker, fuller, softer and brighter.And environmentalists who are mindful of money feel great joy at the lack of chemicals in and on their bodies—not to mention the impact on their budgets.Now one devotee is hoping to take it mainstream. Lucy Aitken Read, whose book Happy Hair: The definitive guide to giving up shampoo was released last week, hasn’t used shampoo for two years and her glowing brown hair is visibly in perfect condition.For her, the motivation came after reading a study that claimed women put 515 chemicals on their bodies daily. “I initially thought ‘Ha! They didn’t research me!’,” Aitken Read says. “Then I looked at the back of my shampoo bottle and realized there were loads of chemical components I didn’t recognize in the slightest.”Strangely it’s oily hair that could benefit the most from giving up shampoo. The theory behind the “no—poo” method is that shampoo removes the hair from its natural oils, which causes the scalp (头皮) to generate more oils to replace them. This results in oil overload — oily hair—whichwe then attempt to “fix” with more shampoo. It’s a vicious (恶性的) circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry, because the more shampoo you use, the more you need to use and the more frequently you need to use it.Left to its own devices or washed with natural substitutes, the scalp eventually theoretically returns to its natural balance. The result should be healthier hair that is stronger, thicker and fuller as it is less damaged than shampooed hair.1.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.More and more people produce hair products.B.More and more people waste money on their hair.C.More and more hair products are wasted every year.D.More and more hair products are produced every year.2.According to Para 5, environmentalists are in favor of “no—poo” method because _______.A.it has the same chemicals as shampoo doesB.it helps reduce their budgets on daily expenses in a wayC.natural substitutes are friendly to the environmentD.they know shampoo has an impact on their health3.What can we learn from Lucy’s words?A.She didn’t realize shampoo contains so many harmful chemicals.B.She didn’t realize shampoo contains all the necessary chemicals.C.She couldn’t recognize the description on the shampoo bottle.D.She didn’t recognize she was quite different from other women.4.What is the main trouble with shampoo?A.It adds more oils to the hair.B.It prevents the scalp producing oils.C. It badly impacts the shampoo industry.D. It makes people addicted to using it more often.BAlong with its neighbors, Sweden features near the top of most sex-equality rankings. The World Economic Forum rates it as having one of the narrowest sex gaps in the world. Sweden is not only a good place for a woman, but it appears to be one for new dads. Close to ninetypercent of Swedish fathers take paternity leave (陪产假). Last year some 340,000 dads took a total of 12 million day s’ leave, that is, approximately seven weeks each. Women take even more leave days to spend time with their children, but the gap is shrinking. Why do Swedish dads take so much time off work to raise their children?Forty years ago Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce a paid parental-leave allowance. Benefits consisted of ninety percent of wages for 180 days per child, and parents were free to share the days between them in whatever way they pleased. But the policy was hardly a hit with dads: in the policy’s first year men took only 0.5% of all paid parental leave.Today they take a quarter of it. One reason is that the policy has become more generous, with the number of paid leave days for the first child increasing from 180 to 480. In 1995 the first so-called “daddy month” was introduced. Under this reform, families in which each parent took at least one month of leave received an additional month to add to their total allowance. The policy was expanded in 2002 so that if the mother and father each took at least two months’ leave, the family would get two extra months. Some politicians now want to go further, advocating that the present system of shared leave be turned into one of personal rights, under which mothers should be allowed to take only half of the family’s allowance, with the rest reserved for fathers. Since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child upbringing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase. Paying dads to change nappies(尿布) and hang out at playgrounds seems to benefit the whole family.5. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Swedish Sex EqualityB. Swedish Father s’ Paternity LeaveC. Swedish New Dad PolicyD. Swedish New Fathers’ Family Role6. Why does Sweden appear a good place for new dads?A. Sweden has the smallest global sex gap.B. They feed their children instead of mothers.C. Most of them are provided with paternity leave.D. Swedish fathers take more leave days than mothers.7. How has the policy changed over time?A. Fathers can have longer paternity leave.B. Paternity leave decreases fathers’ incomes.C. Fathers take more responsibility than mothers.D. Leave days are divided equally between parents.CThe following simple exercise routine works as well as prescription medication(处方药) without side effects.A jog a day could keep your headaches at bay; regular cardio workouts(有氧锻炼) may prevent migraines(偏头痛), a growing body of research suggests.Migraine patients had fewer headaches after doing 40-minute cycling workouts three times a week for three months, according to a Swedish study.The exercise routine worked just as well as one of the top migraine-preventing drugs—topamirate, but without side effects of depression and tremors(颤抖).“Cardio workouts can help with regular headaches, too,”says Alexander Mauskop, M.D., director of the New York Headache Center in Manhattan.There are a couple of theories on how it works.“Breaking a sweat may relieve stress,”says Dr. Mauskop. Headaches are often triggered by stress, and if you remove the trigger, you release the pain.The feel-good chemicals produced when you exercise actually block your pain sensors, acting as a natural painkiller.Since headaches can be caused by many different factors like genetics, lack of sleep, or certain foods, the cardio workout won’t be the solution for everyone, Dr. Mauskop says. But one German study found that it helped 65 percent of patients, which makes it as effective as the best medicines on the market.Dr. Mauskop recommends his patients do a half-hour reasonable intensity(强度) cardio workout, like jogging, biking, or swimming three times a week. These workouts are meant to be slow and steady, as opposed to high-intensity intervals that alternate between all-out runs and rest.Pushing yourself too much or increasing the intensity too quickly can trigger headaches in some people, so make sure your heart rate doesn’t jump above 150 BPM. If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, then breathe only through your nose. You’ll know you’re going too hard if youcan’t keep up that breathing pattern.Your migraines could start disappearing in a couple of weeks, Dr. Mauskop says.8. According to the passage, the author may agree that _______.A. jogging, swimming and fishing are cardio workouts.B. neither cardio workouts nor topamirate has side effectsC. migraine patients may be cured by regular cardio workoutsD. cardio workouts will be the solution for everyone with migraines9. The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by _______.A. curedB. releasedC. causedD. monitored10. What would be the best title?A. A cure for headachesB. Side effects of migrainesC. The causes of headachesD. Advantages of cardio workouts.第二节（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。
