However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again so that he will close the door from a 46 . But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the 47 , the task will be completed, and, with the way things are progressing, 48 quickly.

What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby.

A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 . Once you 52 the belief that it is

Willy, a merchant, returned home to his own country from a faraway continent, where he had succeeded to make a small fortune by hard work. He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party.

He was in such a happy mood and in the joy of the moment, he did not even bother changing his grey flannel （法兰绒）suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.

When he entered the brilliantly lit room, his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because

they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.

A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated at this and said to Willy, “What a wonderful reception you have received from these people. They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home.”

“Just wait and see!” whispered Willy, “They will soon change their looks!” Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger. All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn’t know what to do. A man shook his hand, a cousin threw his arms around him, and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought that he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.

“Has this beautiful, precious ring of yours the power of enchanting（施魔法）people?” asked the young man.

“Oh, no!” replied Willy, “They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich, and, unfortunately, they place wealth above everything else.”

"What blind people!" exclaimed the young man. “It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches. Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord? And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues（美德）!”

56. In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends?

A. In such a modest mood.

B. In travel-soiled clothes.

C. Wearing a precious jewel.

D. Without being accompanied.

57. According to the young man, people should ______.

A. give up all the physical wealth

B. appreciate more jewels than goodness

C. observe carefully when judging a person

D. avoid being blinded by the desire for wealth

58. Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. The Diamond Ring

B. The Warm-Welcome Party

C. The Modest Clothes

D. The Joyful Crowd

B.

OSLO — Excited wi th pride, Norwegians sang in the streets of Oslo on Sunday, celebrating Norway’s National Day and the country’s Eurovision Song Contest victory.

Hundreds of Norwegians sang along to Alexander Rybak’s winning song Fairytale as they walked in the country’s traditional National Day parade (游行) celebrating the Norwegian constitution.

Alexander Rybak —called “Alexander the Great” by the Norwegian media —won a great victory in the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) by gaining the most votes in its 53-year history in Moscow on Saturday.

Alexander has played violin and piano since he was five years old, and he also composes his own music and sings. In he won the Norwegian talent show Kjempesjansen with his own song Foolin. Alexander has performed with one of the world’s most celebrated violinists, Pinchas Zukerman, won the Anders Jahres Culture Price and has been the concertmaster for Norway’s largest symphony orchestra (交响乐队) for youths, Ung Symfoni.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said there was clearly something special about the 23-year-old and his folk music. “This is a phenomenal performance by a young and talented musician,” Stoltenberg said in a statement.

Rybak is expected to draw a large crowd of fans to Oslo’s Gardermoen airport whe n he arrives next Sunday, after having invited all his countrymen from the stage in Moscow.

With Rybak’s win, Norway will host next year’s Eurovision finals, a show that reaches a television audience of over 100 million people. Norway’s Minister of Cult ure, Trond Giske, promised that Norway would put on a splendid show next year but without spending as much as Moscow, which spent 24 million euros this year. “I don’t think that is necessary,” he told national broadcaster NRK.

Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine(尿), sweat and water got from air. They said "cheers," clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground.

The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will save NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttles or cargo rockets. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.

The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttles Endeavour, but it couldn’t be used until samples(样品) were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centres that worked on the system.

“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is worth trying.”

The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor(水蒸气) is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.

“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space station’s national lab manager.

The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the Asian tsunami.

63. According to the text, the recycling system is important because ___________.

A. it makes traveling to the moon for the average person possible

B. with it NASA won’t need to ship any water up the space station

C. it can help meet the need for more water after the crew is expanded

D. it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste

64. What’s the RIGHT time order of the following events?

a. The samples of the recycled water were tested on earth.

b. Astronauts celebrated the space first of making water from urine

c. The recycling system was brought up to the space station.

d. The technology for the system was used to quickly purify water.

A. a, d, c, b

B. a, c, b, d

C. d, a, c, b

D. d, c, a, b

65. What did Edeen say about recycled urine and the recycling system?

A. The taste of recycled urine is not as good as that of common water.

B. The recycling system has made a science fiction story come true.

C. The idea of drinking recycled urine makes astronauts feel unpleasant.

D. It takes a longer time on earth to make water from urine than in space.

66. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Research of NASA Has Made Great Progress.

B. New Technology Is Used in the Space Station.

C. Drink up: Space Station Recycles Urine to Water.

D. Good News: Water Recycled from Urine Tastes Good.

The January fashion show, called FutureFashion , is an example of how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made promises to include organic fabrics in their designs.

The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to fine . “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton a nd non-organic cotton are actually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular artificial materials, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly replacements.

Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable . It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过渡型的) cotton at higher prices , thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material . “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.

Some analysts(分析师) are less sure. Among consumers, only 18%are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer, when asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But –thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.

67. What is said about FutureFashion?

A. It inspired many leading designers to start going green.

B. It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.

C. It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.

D. It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made to last long.

68. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that .

A. much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials .

B. they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials .

C. customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials .

D. quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available .

69. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion .

A. can attend various trade shows free .

B. are readily recognized by the fashion world

C. can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .

D. are gaining more and more support .

70. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?

A. She doesn’t seem to care about it.

B. She is doubtful of its practical value.

C. She doesn’t think it is sustainable

D. She is very much opposed to the idea

第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。

Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably (必然

地) to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula(公式), and can anyone develop it?

At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.

Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.

To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to remove extra ideas and get right to the key points of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In condu ction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”

Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He owes this to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.

Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.

Nowadays, the Internet is flooded with cyber language, which has aroused great public concern.

Cyber language is especially popular among students. They think it is fashionable and convenient to use cyber language to communicate. However, the popularity of cyber language has aroused widespread concern among teachers. They worry that cyber language would bring negative impact on the use of Chinese. Besides,

some parents also complain that it is difficult for them to understand their children when they use cyber language in real life.

I don’t think it can affect my use of Chinese. I think we should take an open mind t o cyber language. But it should be noted that such mind is based on the respect language.
