soon as you can、” cried my mother、I wanted to hurry to her at once、But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle、Our house was in total mess、Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table、Toys lay everywhere、I purposelessly picked things up and put them down、Mother’s crying went through my head again and again、Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened、Someone asked to speak to me、“If there’s anything I can do, let me know、” But I didn’t know what to ask for、Suddenly, thr doorbell rang、It was Emerson、He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby、“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said、I asked him to repeat、“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you、I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼)、Give me all your shoes、”I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen、Emerson got to work right away、Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order、I told myself to wash clothes first、Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed、One job after another、When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left、All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining、I couldn’t help crying、Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done、Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no

it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers had managed to do、He’d failed twice, once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back、He left his high camp at 1 a、m、, using a headlamp to find his way in the dark、He’d already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb、He’d also lived through terrible cold, strong winds, and separation from friends and family、“The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing, as it, in fact, lowers the altitude (海拔) of the mountain by several thousand feet,” says Viesturs、“If I couldn’t climb Everest without oxygen tank, I wouldn’t climb it、”“You have to be physically fit,” he says、“But the mental (精神) part is big、It’s so hard to keep going above 20,000 feet、”While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15 times for every step、He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead、Then he’d find another rock, then another、Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet、“It was one of those dream-come-true moments,” Viesturs says、Today, Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest and of the world’s 13 other highest mountain, all without oxygen、He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties、Finally, in his words, “The art of mountaineering is knowing

How would the mother feel?The children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished、They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed、However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极) feelings towards a confessor、Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie、Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action、” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses、42.What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1 mean?A、委屈B、责备C、否认D、拒绝43.Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________、A、kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”B、it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthC、it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truthD、all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act44.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?A、Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act、B、Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act、C、The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crimeD、The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions、45.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?A、Parents should at once punish the children who lied、B、Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying、C、Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions、D、Parents should show p ositive feeling about their children’s confessions、四、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分,计10分)根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词适当形式填空.(每空一词)46.The ______faces were a sight, covered with dust、(boy)47、You can enjoy water sports, or _______lie on the beach、(simple)48、Some complain that visitors are ______too much stress on the environment、(cause)49、People who often list things they are thankful for are happier and ______、(healthy)50、Never give up!

In a few hours he would be 16 to France. He would be staying there for at least a year to learn another language and experience another style of 17 in a different country far from the USA.It was a(n)18 time in Daniel life, a step from college into the adult world. I wanted to 19 him some words that would have some meaning. But 20 came from my lips. I stood-frozen and quiet, looking into the searching eyes of my son.What 21 it more difficult was that I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment 22. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. I felt the tension(紧张)in his hand 23 mine as the bus turned the corner. I saw his face turned red as the bus 24. He looked at me-as he did now.My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always regretted(后悔)never hearing him put his feelings into words and 25 having the memory of that moment. Why is it so hard to tell a 26 something from his heart? My mouth turned 27, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.“Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.”I wasn’t sure whether he understood 28 I meant. Then he came toward me and threw his 29 around me. For a moment, the world and all the people 30, and there was just Daniel and me in our home by the sea.16.

The students who mentioned both the good time and the bad time include_____.A. Susan Lane and Sara SmallB. Linda Marks and David LinksC. Tom Jennings and Linda MarksD. Leanne Smythe and Tom Jennings32. The writing above would probably be _________.A. the records of students’ activitiesB. the foreign students’ name cardsC. the notice about a visit to foreign countriesD. the advertisement from an international novel33. How many students mention the culture difference they have experienced?A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. sixBSome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a bro ken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董)shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待).I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decidedthat my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?” “You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”“ You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣的)by the whole thing.34. In the first shop the writer .A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair35. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper .A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer36. How much did the writer pay in all?A. £5.B. £7.C. £20.D. £27.37. According to the passage, we can learn that the writer was .A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnyCEveryone has got two personalities —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control you behavior, but when you are asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily affected by new ideas. You don’t like to trouble other people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t so sur e of yourself.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very strong minded, but you aren’t very ambitious (有抱负的). You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up (蜷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often feel blue. You always say what you think even if it disturbs people.38. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality ___.A. only in a normal nightB. only when you go to sleepC. only when you refuse to show yourself to the worldD. only when you change sleeping position39. Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person’s personality?A. He or she is always open with others.B. He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.C. He or she is always easily upset.D. He or she tends to believe in others.40. Which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach?A. He or she is careful not to offend others.B. He or she doesn’t want to stick to his or her position.C. He or she can’t be successful in any business.D. He or she doesn’t like to bring others happiness.41. The writer may think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _____.A. He or she always shows sympathy for peopleB. he or she is confident, but not stubbornC. he or she has more strengths than weaknessD. he or she often considers disturbing peopleDIt was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would as k me and rehearsed (practiced) all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two moths ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused.My teacher was called Mr Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.“He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someo ne asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over. Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty. As the boy kicked the ball hand along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding, Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.“Do you want to join my gang (team)?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.42. The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_____”.A.How old are you? B.Where are you from?C.Do you want to join my gang? D.When did you come back to London?43.We can learn from the passage that _____.A.boys were usually unfriendly to new studentsB.the writer was not greeted as he expectedC.Brian praised the writer for his clevernessD.the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper44.The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _____. A.noticeable B.welcome C.important D.popular45.The writer was offered a handkerchief because _____.A.he threw himself down and saved the goalB.he pushed a player on the other teamC.he was beginning to be acceptedD.he was no longer a new comer四、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分,计10分)根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。

For most people, getting a car opens up a new world of freedom and allows you to go wherever you want and whenever you want. Getting a car did 16 these for me, and it also brought my best friend and me 17 . But then it tore us apart(分开).My best friend lives three minutes from my home.

Garfield is a popular comicbook character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently forsomething you might not expect.A man in the United States changed the gender (性别) of Garfield to “none” on the cat’s Wikipedia(维基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither.Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, settled (解决) the argument. “Garfield is male (男性),” he simply told the Washington Post. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender.It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument ab out gender.To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10 traffic lights with a figure (人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public.But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly.“I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.38. What put Garfield the cat back in the news recently?A. The cat’s lazy character.B.
