From Monday to Saturday, the paper has about 75 pages, of w hich 20 pages are advertisements. It normally has 5 sections w hich are called Nation, Sports, Metro(大都会), Living and Business.Nation is national news mostly with some international news ab out earthquakes, floods, and tensions(紧张)around the world. Sports cover the professional sports in sea son, college sports, and high school sports. Metro is local news of the city of which includes political stories, crimes, and good neighbor articles. Living is the section with television programs, movies, comics, music, stories about pets, and advice.

The advertising sectio n includes apartments and houses, employment opportunities a nd items to buy, especially cars and trucks.On Sunday, the paper is very large weighing more than two kilos. There are additional sections called Art, Books, International, and Travel. Since this is the day most Americans do not work, t hey have more time for reading.

Blowing it a t this stage, you won’t get a chance to persuade them in person , no matter how good you are. Each company or organization u sually uses its own specially designed form that, although it gen erally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. S o the suggestions below will help you to know what to do rather than what you should write.Prepare your personal data record in advance. When visiting fut ure employers, always carry it with you so that you can readily s earch for details such as dates, telephone, numbers and other useful information.Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing-write not only carefully but also neatly.Use words that describe each job you have held as fully as pos sible rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvemen t(参与) in the community or in the activities in which you held a teac hing or coaching role.Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that ask s you to say how your education and past experience have esp ecially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what y ou say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to explain how the position fits your overall career plan. Follow these suggestions and you can get your foot in the door of a great future!Title: How to Fill in_____71_______Section B (10 marks)My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could remember, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the bac k of his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year h e even tried pumpkin. The pumpkins did turn out well.As children, my sister and I would spend time looking after th e garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My gr andfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fen ce and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even high er. I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me .The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Ever y year as soon as the tomato plants bloomed, I would ask my gr andfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “Not yet.”I would ask the next week, “ Can we pick them yet?”He would answer, “Not yet.”Finally, I would be sure that they were ripe(成熟的). When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “Can we pick them now?”He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think th e garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessings wit h those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would giv e some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My gr andfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could al ways see the pride on his face when everything was complete.81.

Each pass age is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information g iven in the passage.ASome time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a brok en leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it m ended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my hom e. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I we nt into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the sa me, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the c hair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like t o buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty poun ds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.”“It’s go t a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting exci ted. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to s ell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you m ean？You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve chang ed my mind. I'm sorry; I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ”“You must be crazy,” he said. Then, sud denly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want m e 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 t his 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 tro uble. But I’ll mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He w as a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thin g.56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopk eeper to repair his chair57. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _____________.A. plan for dealing with thingB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing things by himselfD. way of doing things58. The expression “ the penny droppe d” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper __________.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer59. How much did the writer pay?A. £5B. £6C. £20D. £2760. From the text, we can learn that the writer was__________ __.A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnyBThe nation's largest group of pediatricians(小儿科医生) on Monday urged its members to “firmly oppose boxing for any child or adolescent.”In a statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said thousands of boys and girls take part in the sport in North America, despite risks of serious brain and facial injuries. The group’s position was approved by some experts.“There is very little one can do in order to increase the chanc e of having a healthy brain when you get old,” said Dr. Hans F orstl, who has studied boxing injuries.“ One of the best things you can do is avoid boxing.” He said .According to the new statement, published in the journal Ped iatrics, information from Canada shows a rise in boxing injurie s over the past decade.Pat Russo, a retired police officer who runs a boxing gym in Brooklyn, New York, said injuries are rare in amateur boxing. After 26 years and training thousands of kids, he has seen jus t one split lip among his students.“ If the gym is run properly, injuries are at an absolute minim um,” Russo said. “Football is ten times more dangerous. Whil e tennis or football might also help kids gain confidence, boxin g holds a special attraction for children in poor neighborhoods , because it allows them to act tough while in trouble.”Dr. Robert Cantu, a surgeon (外科医生) at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Massachusetts, said AA P’s attitude makes sense for upper-class and middle-class kids.“ Clearly boxing is safer today than it was 20 or 30 years ago , but it is still a very risky activity,” he said.“For kids in poor areas, however, the situation is different,” s aid Cantu. “ The most dangerous thing for the majority of peo ple in boxing is just where they live. They are far safer in the ri ng (拳击场), even taking blows to the head, than they are out in the ne ighborhood.”61. The statement released by AAP was ___________.A approved by Pat RussoB focused on professionalboxingC based on Dr. Hans Forstl’s researchD strongly against boxing for children62. What is Dr. Hans Forstl’s attitude towards boxing for childr en?A UnconcernedB SupportiveC OpposedD Neutral63. Pat Russo believes that boxing injuries are____________.A still on the rise todayB not a serious problem in his gy mC not common in poor neighborhoodD more dangerous th an football injuries64. In the text, Dr. Robert Cantu expressed his concern about __________.A brain injuries occurring in boxing matchesB the development of boxing among childrenC the attitude of upper-class kids toward boxingD children’s security in poor neighborhood65. What is the text mainly about?A The development of boxing gymsB Children’s risk of inju ry in boxingC The disadvantage of doing boxingD Measures to improve boxing safetyCCollege visits are important．Before you commit years of yo ur life andmoney to a school, be sure you're choosing a place," that is a good match for your personality and interests．You can’t get t he "feel' of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit th e campus．Below are a few tips for gettingthe most out of your college visit．1.Explore on your ownOf course you should take the official campus tour, but be sur e to allow time to hang around on your own． The trained tour guides will show you aschool's selling points．But the 1dest and prettiest buildings d on't give you the entire picture of a college．Try to walk the e xtra mile and get the completepicture of the campus．2.Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center, academic buildings and res idence hall, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards．T hey provide an easy way to seewhat's happening on campus．The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tellyou what's going on outside the classrooms．3.Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall．Try tosit with students if you can．Do the students seem happy or s tressed?

Fill in the numbered b lanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MO RE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they are n’t really hungry and eat to simply feel good. This kind of eatin g habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. It isn’t a good thing.A child’s eating habits can develop right from childhood. As we know, a baby cries out if he doesn’t get milk at the usual tim e of the day. However, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a child’s mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. In fact, children may cry for other reasons. Eve n as children grow up and start going to school, parents some times give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhapp y. As the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever they’re upset or low.Therefore, they’d like to eat an emotional snack when they ha ve the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. Even when they don’t get high grades, aren’t popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. After having the sn ack, they feel a lot better.Emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. To protect your children from emotional eatin g, you should satisfy your child’s emotional needs in the best possible way. This includes spending time with your child ever y day, taking an interest in his school work, helping your child study, providing a health environment without tension at home , etc. Don’t make the child lose face by scolding him. Develop confidence in your child. Make your child eat enough once in a while. Reward him for his achievements.All this will help your little one develop a healthy eating habit.And always remember love and care is the key to help your c hild out of trouble and grow up happily.Title: 71 in Young Children第三节回答问题（共4小题；满分10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I remember a day 17 years ago quite well．That day，our twin sons，Chad and Brad, loaded their car and left home to go to colleg e．I realized that our dinner table would soon become a “tabl e for two”. Sure，the boys would come home on the weekends, but even so, I k new our family life would never be exactly the same again． Before leaving, the boys walked around each room of the ho use to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything they needed. We all walked outside．Chad and Brad gave me big hugs an d quickly got into their car． I waved as they drove away．Wh en I couldn’t see their car any longer，I began to sob. My husband Roy tried to comfort me, but I cou ld see grief in his eyes, as well．There are many parents who would experience this period ．Bittersweet feeling will be present．While the parents feel pride and joy for their children，they will also feel a sense of grief．Painful moments fill their minds．While I can not adequately explain the feelings，I can still remember how I felt when we began that new chapt er in our lives．As time went on，Roy and I are now accustomed to our table for two and we enj oy our lives together．As an added bonus，“dinner for two” is much more affordable than dinner out for a n entire family．I have to admit I still miss our children and th e old times we had together． But I have to say I enjoy the ti me I spend with my husband more than ever before．Roy and I have always enjoyed each other's company，but after the children went to college，we found a great amount of strength in each other．Some thi ngs have changed over the years．Our love for one another h as grown stronger with each passing day．Together，Roy and I are now doing things we never dreamed possible．Our children oftentimes talk about how we are busier and hap pier than we have ever been before． Could it be because we fell deeper in love as we spent quality time together at our ta ble for two?81.

AI was with a group of businessmen, and we were dealing with a question—What isa good person?At a certain point during the discussion, one of the students—a young man of about thirty—described an event that happened at Christmas. He and his five-year-old son were decorating the Christmas tree, and a little boy came to the front door begging. If you ever visit Mexico, you will see that the people there take begging as nothing to get upset about and nothing to get embarrassed by.So, this little boy came to the door, a boy about the same age as my student’s son. The father and the son went to the front door, and the father went back with his five-year-old son and said to him, “Give him one of your toys.” At the words, the little boy quickly picked up some toy, and his father said to him, “No, no－give him your favorite toy.”And the little boy, like a l ittle tiger, said, “No way!” He cried; he refused. But the father, like a big tiger in a way, insisted gently, “No, you must give him one of your favorite toys.”And finally the boy, with his head down, picked up a toy he had just gotten. The father waited in the living room, and the boy walked to the front door with the toy in his hand. The father waited and waited.What do you think happened?After a couple of minutes, his son came running back into the living room, his face radiant (喜气洋洋).“Daddy,” he said, “can I do that again?”I think I have got the answer to the question.21. From the passage, we can learn that in Mexico ________.A. begging is looked down uponB. begging is considered as a normal part of lifeC. visitors all over the world treat beggars kindlyD. few people are living a poor life22. The sentence “can I do that again?” showed that the boy ________.A. got pleasure by helping the little beggarB. wanted to please his fatherC. began to like the little beggarD. wanted to be the little beggar’s friend23.

This event was started by Jennifer Barlow of Midlothian, Virginia in 2003, and it is becoming more popular each year. It has been supported by the International Dark-Sky Association, the American Astronomical Society, and the Astronomical League.This event always occurs in April, during the week of the new moon so that the sky can be as dark as possible for the best viewing conditions.“It is my wish that people could see the night sky without other light in the sky as our ancestors (祖先)saw it hundreds of years ago,” explains Barlow.Since it only lasts a week and not everyone in the country will take part in it, how will the National Dark-Sky Week reduce light pollution? The main goal of NDSW is to increase awareness (意识) of the harmful effects of light pollution. It is not possible for all of the light pollution in this part of the world to disappear. However, it is possible to make a small difference in the quality of the night sky. Another goal of this even is to promote (促进) the use of better lighting systems that direct light toward the ground instead of up into the sky.Jennifer Barlow states, “The night sky is a gift of such beauty that it should not be polluted by wasted light. In this way, our children will not lose touch with the wonder of our universe.”24.

They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that you r children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk —I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!It seems like another language, and it is!28.

We breathe the oxygen（氧气）that plants produce. And we need plants for another reason: we need them for theirbeauty.Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine when the wind blows, not being able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches sway（摇摆）from side to side. Everywhere people need the beauty of plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always try to design houses with room for some grass and a garden.Do you talk to your plants?
