It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed without a conflict. Then the long collaboration（合作）fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s tool box. “I’m looking for a few days’ work”he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?”“Yes,” said the e lder brother. “I do have a job for you.”“Look across the creek at that farm.That’s my neighbor; in fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll do him one better.”“See tha t pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence —so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.”The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”The older brother had to go to the town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge —a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all and the ne ighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched. “You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s h and.They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the e lder brother. “I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, but I have many more bridges to build.56. The underlined sentence I’ll do him one better means .A. I’ll make a better creekB. I’ll make a better bridgeC. I’ll do all things betterD. I’ll do something to separate us completely57.

If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes band (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to you. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs.

The main purpose of the passage is_________.A. to tell people where to find gyms.B. to prove the basic need for climbingC. to encourage people to climb mountains.D. to introduce the sport of wall climbingCHarvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp ('虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called "shrilk." It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability (耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible if it is used for products demanding a lot of material.Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible whenwet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.66. The first paragraph of this passage is mainly about shrilk's ___________.A. remarkable designB. interesting nameC. major featuresD. basic elements67. What has become a concern about plastic?A. Using it properly.B. Producing it cheaply.C. Developing its properties quickly.D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.68. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because____________.A. it can help plastic degradeB. it can be found in living thingsC. its mass production has been realizedD. its raw materials are abundant in nature69. What are the inventors doing in the lab?A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.C. Making shrilk out of used household goods.D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.70. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Recent Progress in Environmental ProtectionB. Benefits of Insects in Scientific ResearchC. The Harm of One-time ProductsD. A Possible Alternative to PlasticPart Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks )Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Sharing your feelings helps you when your feelings are good and when they aren't so good. And before you can share them with anyone, you have to figure out what feelings you have.Making a list of your feelings can help. You can do this in your head or by writing it out on a piece of paper or even by drawing pictures. Is something bothering you? Does it make you sad or angry? Do you feel this emotion only once in a while or do you feel it a lot of the time?When you're trying to figure out your feelings, it might help to remember something that happened and think about how it made you feel. This can help you figure out your own feelings.The way a person feels inside is important. It can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. If you keep feelings locked inside, it can even make you feel sick!But if you talk with someone who cares for you, you will almost always start to feel better. Now there is someone else who knows what’s bothering you and can help you find solutions. It is importantto share feelings when a kid needs help. You don’t have to solve every problem on your own. Sometimes you need help. And if you do, talking about your feelings can be the first step towards getting it.Once you know who you can talk with, you’ll want to pick a time and place to talk, especially when you want to have a private talk. If you think you’ll have trouble saying what is on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. If the person doesn’t understand what you mean right away, try explaining it a different way or give an example of what is concerning you.But what if a kid doesn’t want to talk with your mom or dad? Then find another trusted adult, like a relative or a teacher at school. Maybe this person can help you talk with your mom and dad about your problem or concern.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The story started when Shmily was 11 years old, when she wanted to travel to see her best friend who moved to New Hersey. After she saved all the needed money, she packed her bags and headed for the airport. By the time she reached to have her ticket and pay for it, she discovered that all her money had been stolen.So she went to the toilet and kept crying. And she was in that total loss and break down, someone knocked her door. LEAVE ME ALONE, that was the sentence she couldn’t control her temper while saying. And after another 30 minutes, she unlocked the door; to find an envelope in front of her feet inside. So she opened the envelope to find a letter. It said:“Dear child,You locked yourself in and avoided facing who’s out. Though you could have missed this letter, reading it now means that after all you decided to face the outside. Never lock yourself in for any reason! Never lose hope! Never forget the faith of trusting yourself. Be a reason for other’s smile and sow hope in their hearts you’ll reap happiness in yours.”She folded the letter and put it on the envelope to discover that inside was a window seat ticket. And so it went…she traveled and told the story to everyone she met. And when she was asked about the extra money she had, she replied.“From that day on, I took it as my duty, half for me and half was to be a reason for someone’s happiness.”81.
