To the little boy’s sadness, his mother said she would go. This would be the first time that his classmates and teachers met his mother and he would lose his face because of her appearance. There was a serious scar (伤疤) that covered nearly the whole right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.At the meeting, the people were impressed by the kindness of his mother even though she had the scar on her face, but the little boy was still embarrassed (尴尬的) and hid himself from everyone. However, he could hear clearly the conversation between his mother and the teacher.“How did you get the scar on your face?” the teacher ask ed.The mother replied, “When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught fire. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, but I went in. As I was running towards his bed, I saw a burning wood falling down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked to be unconscious (无知觉的), but luckily, a fireman came in and saved both of us.” She touched the burned side of her face. “This scar will be there forever, but until today, I have never regretted what I did.”When the little boy heard this, he couldn’t help running towards his mother with tears in his eyes. He hugged her and felt his mother was greater than anyone. He held her hand tightly (紧紧地) for the rest of the day.28. The boy’s mother was _________.A. ugly and carelessB. kind but carelessC. beautiful and carefulD. ugly but kind29. According to the passage, the little boy _________.A. didn’t ask his mother to attend the meetingB. wanted his mother to attend the meeting at firstC. didn’t really want his mother to attend the meeting at firstD. wasn’t moved by what her mother said30. After reading the passage, we know _________.A. the people at the meeting didn’t like the boy’s motherB. the boy’s mother was brave but foolishC. the boy hated what his mother had doneD. we should respect our parents whatever they are likeCHave you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain “remains more awake” than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it “first-night influence”. “In Japan they say, 'If you change your bed, you can’t sleep,'” said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report’s writers. “You don’t sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.”The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart (间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don’t know if the left half keeps “watch” all night, or whether it “works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night”. They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is “looking out for us” in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.31. How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?A. Once.B. Twice.C. Three times.D. Four times.32. Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?A. Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.B. Why the brain activity is always on the left half.C. How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.D. What people can do when they can’t sleep well.33. What is the text mainly about?A. What we will have to do to sleep well.B. How researchers measure brain waves.C. Who doesn’t sleep well in a new place.D. Why it’s harder to sleep in a new place.DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith (信用) is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose (宽松的) check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine for free.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the money. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly (相应地).With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven (天堂) to those who love to take “small advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?34. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger _________.A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goC. only pays two US dollars for a taxi rideD. needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying35. We can know from the passage that in Finland _________.A. big hotels provide meals for all kinds of dinersB. big hotels are mostly poorly managedC. both hotel guests and outside diners are served food for freeD. big hotels provide meals for only those who live in the hotels36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers can get more pay by working long hours.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their workers.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.37. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to _________.A. people who are worth praisingB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are dishonest四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）38. To Mr. Wang, teaching is a _______________ (tire) but happy thing.39. What you’ve suggested will be under _______________ (far) discussion. You need to wait.40. Mr. Li walked into the bedroom and ________________ (hang) his coat on the wall.41. It is _______________(wide) known that actions speak louder than words.42. The standard of your work has gone down from the _______________(水平) we expect from you.43. _______________(任何) you say, he will believe you in any case.44. Remember not to let your _______________ (骄傲) stop you from growing up.45. To tell you the truth, this toy is ________________ (特地) designed for you. A big surprise, right?五、动词填空用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。

Surprised.CImagine sailing to over twenty different ports(港口)around the world while you are studying subjects you love! Impossible? Well, that is what the students in Class Afloat do.Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is sixty-four metres long and nine metres wide and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped(设备精良)and comfortable and there's even a library! There is no need to know anything about sailing-students can learn on the ship.Not all the students are Canadian-there's usually a mix of nationalities(国籍).This year, there are also students from Mexico, the USA, Germany and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are secondary school students-first year university students and students who are doing a gap year(休学年)programme.The teachers design special study programmes for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting courses-for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History or Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing! All the classes are in English, so you must have a good level of English.Students don't just study. They must also clean, cook and sail the ship, in their free time, students can rest, read or watch a film. In the evenings, they relax with friends, have club meetings and sometimes they have a karaoke night.Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there're lots to do-home stays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go snorkeling and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term. Students also take part in two volunteer programmes in Senegal(塞内加尔)and the Dominican Republic(多明尼加共和国). They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Students don't have to know how to sail before they join the ship.B. Besides studying, students also have to do jobs on the ship.C. Students have to speak English well in order to have classes on the ship.D. Students don't usually meet any local people when they stop in ports.32. What is snorkeling?A. It is an activity of hiking through the forest.B. It is an activity of swimming underwater.C. It is an activity of playing games in a tent.D. It is an activity of riding horses.33. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. special courses on a shipB. sailing around the worldC. a school on a sailing shipD. learning to sail a tall shipDDetective fiction is popular in many countries. There are two kinds: stories in which private detectives solve a crime, usually a murder; and stories in which a police detective solve a crime.Both kinds of detective story are equally popular.The first private detective---PI for private investigator in the USA---was probably Arson Lupin, a Frenchman. However, stories about this detective are not read nowadays. For most people the first, and perhaps the greatest, private detective, was the Englishman, Sherlock Holmes, a character created by the author Sir Author Conan Doyle. All the Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into most languages. The best known is the Hound of the Baskervilles.The first police detective was probably Sergeant Cuff who solves the crime in the Moonstone, one of the first detective novels in English. The author, Wilkie Collins, was a close friend of Charles Dickens, the best English novelists of all the time.Crime fiction has been as popular in the USA as in the UK, and some of the most famous American writers have written detective fiction. The most highly regarded is probably Raymond Chandler whose PI, Phillip Marlowe, is the archetype(典型的) private detective. Also popular, although not so well-written, are the Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner.After Conan Doyle, the most widely read private detective novelist is the English novelist Agatha Christie. She created two unforgettable characters--- Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie’s have also been translated into most languages.Detective fiction is as popular today as it has ever been, probably because many novels have been adapted for television which introduced them to many people who do not usually read new detective crime fiction.34. Which of the following is a detective story writer?A. Hercule PoirotB. Perry MasonC. Erle Stanley GardenerD. Sergeant Cuff35. What happened to many detective stories?A. They have been long forgotten.B. They have been translated into English.C. Nowadays they are the least popular readings.D. They have been popular because of TV programmes.36. What have Arthur Conan Doyle, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie in common?A. They all wrote stories about English detectives.B. They all wrote stories about private detectives.C. They all wrote stories about police detectives.D. They all wrote stories about American detectives.37. Which of the following does the writer imply(暗示)?A. Wilkie Collins lived at the same time as Charles Dickens.B. Arson Lupin is a popular character on television nowadays.C. Private detective stories are better reviewed than police detective stories.D.

We become mature(成熟的)girls or boys, or at least we 15 we are. At the same time, our parents are no longer young.They 16 all they have to us but never look forward to getting 17 back. When we are ill in bed, they stay with us day and night. When we’re hungry or cold or sad, they 18 offer help.But what have we done for our parents? 19 we grow up, we have our own ideas and we believe we are 20 enough to think and act by ourselves, so we usually dislike their care. __21__, we don’t listen to them; sometimes even quarrel with them!We must 22 something now, letting them know that we love them too. Try our best to understand our parents, and not to make them feel hopeless. In a word, make it a duty to bring__23_ to them because that’s the sign that we are really mature.Children are parents’24 and we are carrying both our dreams and theirs.

People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.◆“What’s the matter?”“I went to a party last night, so I…”◆“I feel so tired these days.”“I think you’d better…”◆“Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文)helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.( ) 25. This passage tells us mainly about _______.A. the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time( ) 26. Which of the following best finishes the sentence in EXAMPLE 3?A. She is one of the most famous film stars.B. She is one of the most beautiful women.C. She is one of the most famous speakers.D. She is one of the most talkative women.( ) 27. From the passage we can infer(推断)that guessing is _______ in learning a foreign language.A. the only wayB. more important in spoken English than in written EnglishC. more important than any other wayD. more important in written English than in spoken EnglishBA few minutes before six o’clock, Mr. Smith decided to leave. He was about to start the car when a gunman jumped up from the back seat. He held a gun to Mr. Smith’s head. “Drive me to Paris!”he shouted.“All right”, Mr. Smith answered. He started the engine, pulled away from the side of the street and drove down. Being eighty-one years old, he knew he could not fight the gunman. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove through a crossing, he looked up and down the side streets, hoping to meet a police car. But he could see nothing. “Just my luck,” he thought, “If I was driving too fast, there would be a police car on every corner.”Suddenly he pushed his foot down on the accelerator(油门), and the car ran much faster. “What are you doing?”shouted the gunman. “Keeping off the police,”Mr. Smith answered. “I thought I saw a police car back there.”He ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on the wrong side of th e road. Not one policeman saw him. Again Mr. Smith’s plan was not working. He had to try a new plan. He turned a corner and saw the police station in front. Then he drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate. The car hit a police motorbike down and stopped. Mr. Smith shouted, “Help! Help!” Then he reached back to grab(夺) the man’s gun. At the same time the policeman heard the noiseand quickly caught the gunman.28. Why did Mr. Smith drive much faster suddenly?A. Because he wanted to keep off the police.B. Because he saw a police car behind his.C. Because his plan was working.D. Because he wanted the police to see him.29. Which of the following is not TRUE?A. Mr. Smith ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets.B. Mr. Smith knew he didn’t need any help.C. Mr. Smith drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate.D. Mr. Smith looked up and down the side street, hoping to meet a police car.30. From the passage, what can we infer(推测)?A. Mr. Smith is a strong man.B. Mr. Smith is a shy man.C. Mr. Smith is a wise man.D. Mr. Smith is a stupid man.CWe don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day we w ill be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like r obots which will do the homework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means(方式) of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much cleaner.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AI DS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we can’t predict(预测) the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine(乐观的) about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.31. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller．B. Because there will be less face-to-face communicationC. Because people won’t like making friends with each otherD. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often．32. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.D. Wha t high technology will appear in the year 2050.DYou are probably familiar with the saying：An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:An apple a day may keep aging away.The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged.According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the appleextract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses，as well as aging.In another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Resear chers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits.34．Why were fruit flies used for the research?A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.B. Because they have a history as long as apples.C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.35．What result did the researchers find out?A. Apples produce chemicals that can change hu man genes.B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.36．What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.C. They experienced a great genetic change making them get used to worse conditions.D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits. 37．What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.第二卷（非选择题，共40分）四、词汇运用根据所给单词或所给中文写出单词的正确形式(本大题共8分，每小题1分)1.

Yet, with dark glasses or not, they findthemselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours of snow light. The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in asnow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow blindness.Experiments led the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completelysnow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something.
