But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 37 , with the second--hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't 38 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 39 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. "I guess we all have to 40 something," Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension of 42 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 43 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was 46 . At that moment, feeling Mother's 47 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 48 .

I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 52 in her arms.A week later Mother took a job 53 dry goods at half the salary the radio station offered."It's a job I can do, though." She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 55 away across the paper.

Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2, 600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11, 000 Italians proved 8 a. m. on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewest heart attacks in both countries.The finding could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol（胆固醇）but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them, ”he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal（内分泌）changes in their bodies, ”Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot （血凝块）which will cause a heart attack.”“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activities,”said Willich.60. Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, ________.A. is not as serious as people thoughtB. is the first killer in Germany and ItalyC. is created by researchers in Germany and ItalyD. is harmful to working people in developed countries61. To protect people from a heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to ________.A. people’s working timeB. people’s living placeC. people’s diet and lifestyleD. people’s nationalities62. It can be learned from this passage that the heart attack has something to do with all the following EXCEPT ________.A. blood pressureB. heart rateC. hormonal changesD. blood type63. If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?A. Improve working conditions.B. Never go to work on Mondays.C. Stay with a doctor on Mondays.D. Get up late on Monday mornings.CWhen Geoff Marcy was 14, his parents bought him a telescope. Every night, he would go onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist, ”he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿…轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butler, and I found our first planet in 1995, ”Dr. Marcy says. “We worked for ten years without finding anything! But we stuck with it, and our patience paid off. ”Since then, the two scientists have discovered 65 of the more than 100 planets found orbiting other stars. Dr. Marcy and Dr. Butler also spotted the first “family”of three planets. In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars. Recently, the scientists found planets farther out. The planet orbiting 55 Cancri is a major breakthrough: it is the first sighting of a large gas planet about the same distance from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun.Why is this important? Scientists think that life on Earth may exist because of two special features（特征）in our solar system. The first is Jupiter.“Because it’s so big, Jupiter pulls comets and asteroids（小行星）, or they all come and hit the Earth. ”Dr. Marcy explains. “Without Jupiter, life on Earth would likely have been destroyed. ”A second feature is that Earth is a rocky planet where liquid water, which is necessary for life, can exist. Unlike gas planets, rocky planets like Earth have surfaces where water can gather in pools and seas, which may support life. A huge space exists between the Jupiter-like planet and two other planets that lie close to 55 Cancri. Is there an Earth-like planet in the space, too small for us to notice? If so, says Dr. Marcy, “We would have two striking similarities to our solar system:a Jupiter-like planet and an Earth-like planet. And there may be life! ”64. What can we learn about Dr. Marcy from the passage?A. He is fond of watching Jupiter.B. He is from a scientist family.C. He dislikes working with Paul Butler.D. He is interested in finding life in outer space.65. Which of the following is true of the recent discovery?A. The planet is not as protective as Jupiter.B. The planet is close to star 55 Cancri.C. The planet proves to be a gas planet.D. The planet is as large as Jupiter.66. How many planets orbiting other stars have the two scientists discovered so far?A. 100B. 70C. 76D. 6567. Dr. Marcy thinks that life may exist in the 55 Cancri system because ______.A. he has found the system similar to the solar systemB. he has discovered an Earth-like planet thereC. he has discovered a rocky planet thereD. he has found signs of life in the system68.“But we stuck with it”（in Paragraph 3）means ______.A. they felt discouragedB. they carried on with itC. they failed in their attemptD. they made some progressDNearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as wha t other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people . I think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.69. Where would this article probably appear?A. In a popular magazineB. In a posterC. In a science textbook D .In an encyclopedia(百科全书)70. The main purpose of the article is to _____.A. explain how shyness developed. B .recommend ways of dealing with shyness C. persuade readers that shyness is natural. D. prove that shyness can be overcome71. Which of these can you conclude from reading the article?A. Shy people never have any fun.B. Entertainers choose their work to fight shynessC. The attempt to overcome shyness is always successfulD. The attempt to overcome shyness is always rewarding72. Who probably gives the suggestion for fighting shyness?A. The author of the articleB. Shy men and womenC. Doctors and psychologistsD. Popular entertainersEEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain choice of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is very interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have notice these particular shapes and colors ,or have felt the delight which they brought to the artists.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in movement and at rest; their choices show that these aspects(方面)of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose totally without thinking about the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(溃烂的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world . Each painter is telling us something , showing us something , emphasizing something----- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.73. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because _______.A. most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC. a painter use shapes and colors instead of wordsD. many painters do not say anything74. Modern artists might say their choice of subjects ______.A. provides uninteresting patternsB. only provides interesting patternsC. has no pattern or formD. teaches the public important truths75. The writer says that modern art contains______A. nothing but meaningless patterns B .uninteresting aspects of the world C. subjects chosen partly for their meaning D. completely meaningless subjects第四部分：写作（共两节；满分35分）第一节：任务型阅读（满分10分）Before you get behind the wheel of all that glass and steel here ~are some tips to help you stay in control.Stay focused. There are a lot of things to think about when driving: road conditions. your speed, observing traffic laws and signals, following directions, being aware of the car around you, checking your mirrors -- the list goes on. Staying focused on driving -- and only driving -- is the key.Distractions like talking on the phone or eating, make a driver less able to see~ potential (潜在的 ) problems and react to them. It's not just teen drivers who are at fault .people who have been driving for a while can get overconfident in their driving abilities and let their driving skills get careless. All driving need to remind themselves to stay focused.Stay alert(警惕). Being alert allows you to react quickly to potential problems Obviously, alcohol or drugs affect a driver's reaction time and judgment Driving while tired has the same effect and is one of the leading causes of crashes. So rest up before your road trip.Watch out for the other guy.. Part of staying in control is being aware of the drivers around you and what they may suddenly do so you're less likely to be caught off guard, For example, if a car speeds past you on the highway but ther e’s not much space between the car and a slow-moving truck in the same lane(车道 ), it's a pretty sure bet the driving will try to pull into your lane directly in front of you, Expecting what another driver may do prepares you to react:When you drive defensively (防御地), you're aware and ready for whatever happens You are cautious, yet ready to take action. Don't put your fate in the hands of other drivers. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation 90% of all crashes are caused by driver error.第二节书面表达（满分25分）目前，越来越多的人拥有了自己的私人小汽车，你班同学就这一现象展开了讨论，提出两种不同的观点和看法。
