The night before, she laid out her favorite clothes: a white coat and a bright yellow shirt. When having breakfast, Sarah dropped some food on her shirt, so she had to change into her second-best clothes, blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt. After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it. The door hit right in Sarah’s face and blood dripped from her nose. The driver wanted to send her home, but she refused, "It is the most important day of the year! I can’t miss it!" Before classes, Sarah went to her favorite swing. When rising high, she saw her best friend little Jack. She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand. Unfortunately, she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand, breaking a leg and an arm. As she lay in the sand, she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her. With her good hand she took it. When Sarah’ mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw: her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint (夹板), a broken nose, and blood stains on her second-best clothes. Expecting to see her child crying, she was confused when she saw a big, bright smile on Sarah’s face. "Sarah, look at you!" her mother cried. "You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling?" "Look, Mommy, I found a diamond!" Sarah laughed. Life can be like that. It can be tough, even painful sometimes. But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering. 61. When Sarah went to school, she was wearing ________________. A. a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt B. blue jeans and a yellow shirt C. a white coat and a yellow shirt D. blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt 62. Sarah fell off the swing because _____________. A. she seldom played swing B. she rose too high C. she waved one hand to her friend D. she was pulled down by her friend (B) How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier. Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them. You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters(水疱) or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this newpair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist. Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them. This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes. 65. Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones? A. They have much emotion in the old ones. B. They are more comfortable. C. New shoes always harm the feet. D. They look better than the new ones. 66. According to the passage, we know that people ______. A. don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very well B. are positive and open-minded to accept new things C. actually know the change will finally be good for them D. don’t accept new patterns because they are not good 67. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it. B. Most people pay more attention to the future life. C. One’s attitude towards something is usually traditional. D. The more often we change, the better our life will be. (C) It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect. "Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did. "The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birthis how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that." Like infectious laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group. 68. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs? A. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn. B. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God. C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born. D. Yawning is a form of communication. 69. According to Molly Helt, _________________. A. emotions are infectious, but yawning is not B. yawning helps clear ears on planes C. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others D. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans 70. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning? A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn. B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others. C. Yawning can be used to test children’s development. D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. 71. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________. A. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions B. yawning can make people feel relaxed C. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory D. the more you yawn, the happier you will be Section C(5') Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Making yourself knowledgeable first. B. Adapting yourself to the foreign country. C. Making the lessons fun and interesting. D. Catching the attention of the beginners. AB. That teaching English to beginners is challenging. AC. Making sure of the requirements of teaching abroad. 72.______Teaching English to adult learners is a challenging thing. But learning how to teach English to be-ginners could be much more challenging especially if you’re teaching abroad. There are special considerations that you’ll have to keep in mind, and a little more patience to spare. 73._______When you teach any foreign language to young learners, it means that you are not only going to have to teach the subject as you would in a typical classroom. Because of the age of the learners, you will have to constantly keep them interested. Children have short attention span, so you have to give extra effort to keep their attention to the subject. 74.________As much as it is important to teach the language to your learners, it is also important that you know they are willing to learn and that they enjoy your classes. If you make your classes fun and full of activities and other games that promote learning and communication, the actual teaching part will be a piece of cake. Your students will always look forward to the next lesson, and they’ll look at learning English as a fun experience. 75.________If you teach English abroad, the number of things to consider is increased. For one thing, you will have to use the teaching methods that are accepted by a foreign audience. You will have to learn the culture of the country. Naturally, you will also have to adjust to the life of living abroad. 76.________Of course, if you would like to teach English abroad, there might be additional tests and certificates that will be required of you. You may be required to take TOEFL and take up ESL. To be sure of all the requirements, make sure that you discuss all of these during the application process early on. Section D (4') Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into trouble off Italy’s popular beaches. Hundreds of specially trained dogs from Italy’s corps of canine(犬类的) lifeguards set out each summer to help swimmers in need of rescue. These "life dogs" wear a harness that victims can grab to be dragged back to shore, and unlike human lifeguards, they can easily jump from helicopters and speeding boats to reach swimmers in trouble. With millions flocking to Italy’s crowded beaches each summer, the Italian Coast Guard says it rescues about 3,000 people every year —and their canine helpers have saved several lives. It takes three years for the canines to reach expert rescue status, and currently 300 dogs are fully trained for duty, said Roberto Gasbarri, who directs the Italian School of Canine Lifeguards program. "Dogs are of good physical strength. They can increase the speed at which victims are rescued," Gasbarri said. "The dog becomes a sort of intelligent lifebuoy(救生圈). It is a buoy that goes by itself to a person in need of help, and comes back to the shore also by himself, choosing the best landing point and swimming through the safest currents," he said. The school will train any breed, as long as they weigh at least 30 kilograms, but New found lands and golden retrievers are most commonly used because they are good at swimming. Each dog works together with a human lifeguard, who also acts as the animal’s trainer. "Being retrievers, they set out to pick up anything we tell them, be it a human being, an object, or a fish, and they bring it back to the shore," said lifeguard Monia Luciani. "They do not associate it with a physical activity, but it is rather a game for them." 77. The dogs wear a harness so that __________. 78. The dogs are helpful to _________. 79. Why does the school usually choose to train the New found lands and golden retrievers? ___________________________________. 80. How do the dogs regard the pickup training? ____________________________________. 第II卷(共分) Translation (20') Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 他的沉默暗示出他不。

The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round, The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or morn when little rain falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon（雨季）begins. Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”.Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. It is often called the “c loud forest” because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds insid e them go undamaged through animals’ stomachs and arc passed out in their droppings. The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.56．The climate of the rain forests near the equator is______A．mild, wet and windy B．hot, rainy and foggyC．hot, wet and cloudy D．warm, wet and sunny57．We can learn from the passage that_______A．tree leaves are green all the lime in the monsoon forest B．there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountainsC．clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to growD．the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees 58．According to the passage,______ play with the most important role in the spreading seeds.A．animals. B．droppings C．fruits D．windsBPeople living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home. 59.What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.C. The rising of the sea level.D. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.60. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ___________________.A. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. is quickly changing the map of EnglandD. can be stopped if proper measures are taken61. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can _____________________.A. lead to its eventual solutionB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. warn people whose homes are in danger62. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because_______.A. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasB. the government is too slow in taking actionC. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsD. house agents along the coast do not support the ideaCA lie detector is a machine that is designed to show if a person is telling the truth or not. It does this by measuring a person's bodily reactions while being questioned. It is also known as a polygraph.American medical student John Larson invented the polygraph machine in Nineteen-Twenty-One. "Polygraph" means many writings. The name was chosen because the machine records many body reactions while a person answers questions. The machine is based on the idea that stress produces changes in the body when a person does not tell the truth.Taking a lie detector test involves placing several devices on different areas of a person's body. Rubber tubes on the chest and stomach record breathing. Two small metal plates attached to the fingers measure sweat gland activity. A device on the arm measures blood pressure. The body's reactions are recorded by another device.During a lie detector test, an expert first asks a series of questions that show how the person's body reacts when giving true and false answers. Then the expert asks the important questions. All this takes about two hours. Later, the expert reads the information and decides if the person answered the questions truthfully or not.Lie detectors are used in the United States mostly by law enforcement agencies. Lawyers also sometimes use them. While the opinions on whether to use them are divided . they are permitted in some counts and in some states. But some areas of the country have banned the use of lie detector tests as evidence. Many people even doubt it really can tell if a person is lying or not.63.This passage is written to__________.A. introduce an inventionB. introduce how to operate an inventionC. debate whether an invention should be usedD. forbid a person to tell a lie.64. John Larson invented the lie detector to tell whether a person tells a truth by_______.A. his expressionsB. his body reactionsC. his blood pressureD. his words65. which of the following can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?A. PermittedB. AllowedC. ForbiddenD. Admitted66. We can infer from the last paragraph that the lie detector ______. A. is a perfect inventionB. can tell the truth of a person’s wordsC. has more advantages than disadvantagesD. still needs improvingDLast summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule (时刻表), she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label (标识) , she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence ( 自信心)，which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact,I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.67. What did the author do last summer?A. She worked in the supermarket.B. She helped someone to learn to read.C. She gave single mothers the help they needed.D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.68.Why di dn’t Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.C. Because she couldn’t afford the bus ticket.D. Because she couldn’t find the right bus.69. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.B. She asked others to take her to the right place.C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.D. She remembered the names of the goods.70. Which of the following statements is true about Marie?A. Marie could do things she had not been able to do beforeB. Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son.C. Marie decided to continue her studies in school.D. Marie paid for her own lessons.第四节阅读下面短文，从七个选项中选出最佳选项。

Cards on their tables explain that this small amount helps bring clean water to children aroundthe world. It’s called the UNICEF Tap Project.“UNICEF’s Tap Project is really all about bringing attention to the fact that over 900 million people around the globe do not have access to good, clean, healthy drinking water,” says Cary Stem, who heads the US Fund for UNICEF. She adds that water-borne illness is the second-highest cause of preventable childhood death in the world.“Each and every day approximately 4,100 children die just because they don’t have that access - 4,100 every single day.”The public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistic with a simple, affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.“One dollar buys enough good, clean water for a child for 40 days,” Stem says.“The tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in New York City. This year, Stem says, about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in the campaign. We raised about $2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,” says Stem. “Last year, we raised over $1 million for the first time. This year we’re hoping to top that.”Stem credits the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who support the tap project and raise money in their communities.The UNICEF Tap Project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water, give water. Currently, UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.Stem hopes that, by participating in the project, more Americans will realize that what they often take for granted is a precious and scarce resource in many other parts of the world.51．Restaurants began to charge for tap water to _______.A. increase their profitB. urge customers to save waterC. raise people’s awareness of the world water problemD. collect money for those without access to safe water52．We can learn from the text that the Tap Project ________.A. began in New York CityB. was started by volunteersC. is hoping to collect $2.5 million this yearD. provides help for 1,000 countries in the world53．It can be learned that _______.A. the Tap Project began in 2006B.

SHE'S GOT ANSWERSQ: My problem is computer gaming. I do it day and night, averaging four hours of sleep. I can't control of this, and I don't know where to go for help. Do you?—PlayerA: Dear Player,You have an addiction. For some people playing video games releases dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that makes you feel good. You'd toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right? To kick the habit, get help from a health professional. And don't look for help on line; that would be like an alcoholic going to the bar for advice.Q: My brother's wife just had triplets(三胞胎). This is such a joy! Yet every time I share the news with co-workers, they ask me if she was on fertility pills. I think this is rude—or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的)that you can ;ask anyone anything? —No Show HostA: Dear Host,Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy. But don't blame it all on the talk-shows. Continue to celebrate and greet impolite questions with stony silence. Their fertility history is nobody's business but their own.Q: I work at an amusement park, and my manager steals supplies. She has a catering business on the side, and we've seen her load up her car at the back gates. The big bosses think she is the best thing since buttered bread, and we're all afraid that if we say anything, we'll lose our jobs. What can we do? —RighteousA: Dear Righteous,Be sure you're right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates. Once you know for certain, it's time to go to the bosses and report what you have seen.Q: My stepson's wife sometimes leaves their eight-year-old home alone for "a short run to the store." That may be an hour or so. I believe by law we should report it.What do you think?—The In-lawsA: Dear Laws,I don't know what the child-protection laws in your state are, but I do know that children need care and attention. This child may be able and unafraid, but kids aren't always careful. It also sounds like there is stress in your family relationship. One thing you can do to help this situation is offer to baby-sit when Mom needs to step out.58．Which of the following statements is true?A. Dopamine is a powerful brain chemical good to our health.B.

The box was marked “To be opened after mi dnight, December 31st , AD2000”, and was stored in the Colorado College library. One hundred years later, on the appointed day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening of the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants (后代) of people who had placed things inside the box.When the box was opened after midnight, the contents were in very good condition. There were newspapers, photographs, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and dozens of letters, including one written by Theodore Roosevelt, who became the President of the USA later that year. One of Roosevelt's friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.Many of the letters were addressed to their descendants. They describe the hopes that people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand residents, Now nearly half a million people live there.Colorado College Library has scanned the material and put them on a website. Cecil Muller, whose grandfather had placed a collection of postcards in the box,said that the time capsule was a great treasure. “This is a wonderful educational resource. We can learn so much about our history,” he said. “I never knew my grandfather, but now I feel very close to him.”In April 2001, a committee filled the time capsule with items from modem Colorado Springs and resealed it for another hundred years.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)62.
