This problem results from various reasons.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.In my opinion, I think we should take measures to control the increase of population, and every oneof us should try his best to protect our environment. If all of us can do our part, I am sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.。

I remembered one of his 31 one night when I was ready to quit(退出) a political movement I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary. Tired, feeling the many months of struggle, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer when I 32 up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was so proud of; Andrea Guomo, Italian American—fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he 33 with difficult situation. A lot of pictures appeared into my idea, but one scene came sharply into view.We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even 34 . One, in particular, was a great blue spruce(云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible 35 . We came home from the store that night to find the spruce 36 almost totally from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our heart 37 . But not Dad’s.The rain was 38 . Then he announced, “Ok, we’re going to push him up!”“What are you talking about, Dad? The roots are out of the ground !”“Shut up; we’re going to push him up; he’s going to 39 .” We couldn’t say no to him. So we followed him into the house and we got what rope there was and we tied the rope around the top of the tree that lay on the street and he stood up by the house, with me 40 on the rope and Frankie in the street in the rain, helping to 41 up the great blue spruce. In no time at all, we had it standing up straight again! Dad 42 stakes(木桩) in the ground, tied rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “Don’t worry, he is going to grow again...”I looked at the card and wanted to cry.

Schmidt pleaded(恳请) earnestly with the pilot for quite a while. Since it was a slow day and there were not many customers, the pilot finally agreed. “Ok, I will take you and your wife for ten dollars on one condition: while in the air, you cannot make any noise. 47 I hear a peep(动静) out of you, that will cost you 20 dollars,” Schmidt agreed reluctantly(不情愿地,勉强地).The plane took 48 without a hitch. Purposely, the pilot made somersaults(筋斗) and all kinds of tricks, just to scare the guy, 49 the plane finally landed, the pilot asked credulously(轻信地): “I have got to hand it to you. I didn’t know how you managed to be so quiet.”“It wasn’t easy,” confessed(坦白,供认) 50 tightwad. “I almost hollered(叫喊,抱怨) when my wife fell out.”Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension(30 marks)Directions: Read the follo w ing three passages. Each passage is follo w ed by se v eral 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 gi v en in the passage.ASportsAll over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Both of them are just about a hundred years old. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.51. From the passage we know that ______.A. people began to play sports about one hundred years agoB. about 100 years ago people ran or jumped when they playedC. basketball has a longer history than volleyballD. not all the games have a long history.52. According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Sports help to train a person’s character.B. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other before a game.C. People swim only because there are a lot of rivers in their country.D. Sports and games can develop the friendship between people all over the world.53. The writer did NOT tell us in this passage that ______.A. basketball was invented in AmericaB. sports change with the seasonC. games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activitiesD. football is played all over the world54. The writer writes about the Arab’s using camels in their sports to show that _____.A. it is a unique sportB. it has a long historyC. sports help to train one’s characterD. some sports are closely related to people’s work and daily activities55. The underlined word “grace” in the last paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.A. 成功B. 风度C.公平D. 梦想BIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter(（中枢神经系统的）灰白质). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工,处理) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals ” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain moreflexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.56. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.A. science on learning a second languageB. language learning and the increase in one’s brain power.C. man’s ability of learning a second languageD. language learning and the study of maths57. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions exercise in order to _____.A. say language is also a kind of physical labourB. prove that one needs more practice when he or she is learning a languageC. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work wellD. to show the importance of using the language when you learn it.58. What change can we get during the experience of learning a second language?A. The increase of the ability to learn.B. The development of muscles.C. The improvement of strange pronunciation.D. A worse understanding of different ideas.59. We may know from the scientific findings that _______.A. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a secondlanguageB. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brainC. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the timeD. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is60. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ______.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageC. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjectsD. you’d better start to learn a second language between 2 and 34C“Clean your plate!” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’s accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa.” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in theUS take too many bites. Instead of “cleaning the plate’, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(胃口,食欲). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate (将……联系起来) quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion(一分,份额) sizes began (or grew) in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand(扩大).Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.It’s not that working-class Americans don’t want to eat healthily.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each ans w er.A smart card is a card that is carried with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip that is not programmable. The microprocessor card can add, delete, and deal with the information on the card, while a memory-chip card can only do one thing.Smart cards, unlike magnetic stripe cards, can do many different things and hold a lot of information. In this way, they do not need to get information from a faraway place when they are used.Today, there are several kinds of smart cards, all of which are very popular in the market:IC (Integrated Circuit) microprocessor cards: Microprocessor cards (chip cards) offer a larger memory and better security than the traditional magnetic stripe cards do. Chip cards can also hold data. These cards are used for many things. Thus, chips have been the main platform for cards that hold a secure digital identity. Some examples of these cards are: cards that hold money; cards that provide safe access to a network; cards that allow setting stop boxes on television to remain safe from privacy(隐私).Optical memory cards: Optical memory cards look like cards with a piece of CD on the top. Optical memory cards can store up to 4MB of data. But once written, the data can not be changed or removed. Thus, this type of card is good for keeping records, such as medical files, driving records or travel histories. Today, these have no processors in them (although this is coming in the near future). While the cards are almost as cheap as chip cards, the cards readers are expensive.Title: 66Types 68 Disadvantages SimilaritiesIC chip cards ● A larger memory& better security;●Hold data Not mentioned ●70 ;●Large memory;●Low cost ofcards67 ●Store much data;●Good fordoctors, driversand travelers to ●Data that can notbe changed orremoved;●No processors;●Expensive 69keep records;●Cost not muchSection B (15 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions gi v en belo w in Chinese.假如你是李红，近日，你班正在开展一场主题为“幸福是什么？”的讨论。

As I got older I began doing random things for people. For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra 21 along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit, 22 , the first time I did itI was so 23 . I didn’t know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the24 person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran 25 me with his shopping cart. It was an accident, and he 26 a million times. We smiled and he walked away, and I knew that he was the one. Later I found him in a different isle(过道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the 27 I had afterwards was unexplainable.Then one day I came across your website (the coolest website ever) and 28 some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a 29 . Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and 30 it in the most beautiful paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it 31 , and then slip the smile card into an envelope and 32 it to the flower. After that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier 33 it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so it’s easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to that person when they come th rough. Once in a while I’ll buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the 34 somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face 35 and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that week the cashier whom I had had 36 me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I 37 at least two in my purse and others in my car, locker and everywhere I go. As I mentioned, my club, STARS, is doing a Random Acts of Kindness Project with the smile cards so they also are using them. I look forward to hearing about their success. It’s really great. I 38 used them in school. I bought my entire math class cans of pop after lunch one day. They came in from lunch and a can of pop and a smile card were setting 39 that day. It totally lightened the mood in the class that day 40 we were studying for a test. Thank you for all of the help that you provide. The smile cards are a great program that brings smiles into the lives of many!21. A. present B. card C. wish D. promise22. A. therefore B. anyway C. moreover D. however23.

A. because B. unless C. after D. whenever三．阅读理解（30分）AHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers ？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy ？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.42. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your positionB. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the positionwhen you select job.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when youselect job.D. You should ignore your skills when you select job.43. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. Design.B. Changes.C. Cooperation.D. Hobbies.BI opened my new patient's chart and headed for her room. My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver's license. For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did. Rebekah, mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an injection, skills JobsEnvironment Motivation Stability?Rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over. Then she smiled and squeezed my hand. “Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table?" I handed her the worn book. "Do you have a favorite Bible verse?" she asked. "Jesus wept. John 11: 35." "Such a sad one," she said. "Why?""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow." Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me.During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children. One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder. She picked up a notebook and held it out to me. "I'm making a tape for my daughters, " she said. I read the list on her pad: starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation. While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children's future. She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions. She filled them with family stories and advice，trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours. Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband.I often wondered what I would say in her place. My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they’d been and who they’d been with. Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?It was three o'clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital. Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape. She was breathing hard when I entered her room. I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips. "Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape." She held my hand and closed her eyes. "Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy. Please make her feel special. Show her how to take care of you. Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday. Hannah, tell her you don't want meat sauce on your spaghetti. Molly, don't get mad if there's no apple juice. Drink something else. It's okay to be sad, sweeties. Jesus cried too. He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again. Remember, I'll always love you. I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply. "Thank you, Nan, "You'll give this one to them, won't you?" she murmured as she slid into sleep.A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah's children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah's blanket, I got in my car and hurried home. I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious. That night the kids didn't go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes. And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints，late into the night.44. From the first paragraph we can learn that ____________ .A. Nan was in a bad state and wept a lot in her daily life.B. Nan was not on good terms with her children.C. Nan was worried about how to help Rebeka deal with her death.D. Nan laid more stress on attending on her patients than her children.45. Which of the following scenes was most likely to be seen at Nan’s home before she metRebekah?A. The family sat down in a circle and shared an interesting story.B. After dinner, the children either went out or shut themselves up in their rooms.C. The son was the headache of the parents while the daughter their comfort.D. When Eric did poorly at school, the parents comforted him and cheered him up.46. Which was the most vital message Rebekah left to her children?A. Bringing home satisfying school report cardsB. Landing a job after graduationC. Growing up healthily and happilyD. Accepting their step-mother into their lives.47. The writer learnt from Rebekah that a parent’s real concern should be.A. protecting the children from the dangers they may be trapped in.B. having encouraging and loving talks with children.C. making tape records to guide the children in their future lives.D. tolerating the children’s annoying quirks.CThe largest campaign of killing rats in history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013 and 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally we’d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”48. According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of SouthGeorgia ?A. They were attracted there by wildlife.B. They escaped there from Campbell Island.C. They were introduced there by sailors accidently.D. They were brought in by people deliberately.49. Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ?A. He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.B. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.D. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island.50. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _________.A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn.B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time.C. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife.D. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.51. What can we infer from the passage?.A. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time.B. Rats aren’t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife.C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didn’t make great achievements.D. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on CampbellIsland.DAccording to a study by SallieMae, 84 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards, and by the time they are seniors, they have accumulated US＄4,100 in debt, on top of whatever student loans they may have taken out.Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment, and they are aggressively marketed to college students. Reportedly, a typical college student carries 4.6 credit cards and US＄3,173 in credit card debt.Credit cards seem to be a fact of life, not just student life. In the long term, using a credit card properly and paying off the balance can help establish a card history and increase your credit score, which will come in handy when you need an important loan, for a house or car, for example. Your credit score can affect even unrelated things like insurance rates. Credit cards also offer more protection for users than debit cards （借记卡）.Under federal law, the credit card holder is only responsible for the first US＄50 in fraudulent(欺诈的)purchases in cases of theft or loss. However, debit card users are responsible for the first US＄500.SallieMae found some good news in the fact that two thirds of students had discussed credit issues with their parents, but 84 percent said they needed more information. Those who didn’t get any guidance were more likely to be surprised when they found out how much they owed.While credit cards offer the easiest access to money, they make it easy to live outside your means. Less than a fifth of students surveyed paid off their balance every month, and carrying a balance brings finance charges, sometimes at a very high interest rates.SallieMae found that almost 40 percent of students chose their first credit card based on direct mail, which is probably why students get credit card offers in the mail. But when the credit card offers flow in, be sure that you read the fine print. Offers of low or no interest rates can disappear, leaving you a debt that climbs beyond your ability to pay it off.52. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Most of the senior students are shocked to see how much they owed.B. Students can only take out loans from credit cards.C. Most of students’ loans come from credit cards.D. Credit cards have a bad effect on college students.53. The underlined part “come in handy” in the third paragraph probably means “_______”.A. bring troubleB. make mistakesC. be importantD. be useful54. According to SallieMae, what is the possible reason why students get so many credit cardoffers in the mail?A. Many students’ first credit card is based on direct mail.B. It costs the banks little to mail out credit cards.C. Students don’t like to go to the bank to open a credit card account.D. Banks have no other way to let students use their credit cards.55. What is the theme of the third paragraph?A. The advantages of using debit cards.B. The similarities between credit cards and debit cards.C. The advantages of using credit cards.D. Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment.四．任务型阅读（10分）(每空填一词)Young people are definitely less courageous (勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? It’s because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are giv en.Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, they’d have to work for it and earn it.If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others, and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are they to learn courage?Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being abl e to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you through life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life. Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them, and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.Once these basic principles are instilled (灌输) in our young people, I think we’ll find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed, and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.It’s time to go back to older val ues and ideas, and to bring courage back into our young people and society.Theme (56)_____________ with young people 30 years ago, those are less courageous.The behavior of young people today *They generally show (57) ___________for elders and other people.*They take for granted whatever they have or receive.*Many of them are too (58) ____________ on their parents or other relatives to get them through life.(59)____________ *They are not (60) ________ of the basics of respecting others.*They are not taught to work hard to (61)__________ their dreams *They don’t have the (62) _______ to make wise decisions and overcome difficulties independently.*They tend to expect others, such as their parents or siblings, to help them out when they are in (63)___________.Tips *Never (64) ____________ them; only help them when necessary. *Teach them the skills they need to make basic life decisions by themselves.Conclusion It’s time we went back to older values and ideas, and (65)___________ courage back into our young people and society.五．单词拼写（10分。

The mother can do nothing but stand behind the boy, depressed.It is the exact reflection of lack of communication between parents and children. Several reasons contribute to it. First, the Internet provides us with a place where we can communicate with different people, in which case we are addicted to the virtual world and keep our distance from people around us. Besides, pressure from study drives us to seek excitement on the Internet. Also, parents, busy with their work, spare little time to stay with their children.As far as I’m concerned, some effective measures should be taken by parents and children. In terms of children, we should cut back on the time when they play computers and be aware of the negative effects of the Internet. Parents and children should exchange their ideas and feelings regularly.听力材料：Text 1M: Would you mind if I borrowed your car?W: Well, when exactly?M: Until Monday or Tuesday of next week.W: I’m sorry, but my family is going out this weekend.Text 2W: How do you feel about your moving to Los Angeles, Jack?M: Well, I’m really looking forward to it.

Thank you for coming along to the interview.Text 10In today’s program, we are talking about London Underground trains. The quickest way to get around London is no doubt ‘the tube’, London’s way of saying the Underground train. The tube is made up of twelve lines, each bearing a name and a color on the tube map. For example, the Central Line is red. And as its name suggests, it runs from east to west, taking in central London. The Circle Line is yellow, and is the only line which runs in a complete circle. About 2.5 million people use the tube each day. If you want to travel fast around London, taking the tube will get you to wherever you want quicker than bus or taxi. Trains generally leave every 3 or 4 minutes, less frequently at weekends and late at night. There are maps at each station, as well as inside each train, to make sure that you can see where you are going and that you are on the right train. If you find yourself going in the wrong direction, simply get off at the next station and cross the platform to the other side. Every train will show its direction on the front of the train. So, it is a good idea to look at the train as it is coming into the station.。

No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.46. This passage mainly talks about research conducted by ___________.A. Gallup PollB. “Personality and social Psychology Review”C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie AyresD. The author47. According to the passage which statement is true?A.

Talking with strangers, _____________.A. women are more talkative than with people they knowB. men are more talkative than with their wivesC. women prefer to listen more rather than speak moreD. men speak a lot to have their opinions acceptedBLocal businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.According to the state c omptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it’s easier to compare prices.”Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping online.“Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping online I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping online saved me from having to buy from Dell.”Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.“I’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information online no matter how safe the site claims it is.51. Larry Pollock has been facing the problem __________.A. before longB. after the InternetC. since there were mail-order cataloguesD. since he worked as a businessman52. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?A. Traditional business can provide valuable services to customersB. People can get cheaper goods from traditional businessC. More and more people will turn to the Internet for their needsD. There are still many people who don’t like on-line shopping53. More people like online shopping because _________.A. the consumers can easily compare a variety of goods on lineB. it’s easy for consumers to get what they wantC. it’s cheaper to buy what they need from on-line retailersD. all above54. Mitch Wilson prefers to build his personal computer by shopping on line because _________.A. he can easily get what he needs at a lower priceB. he can not get the price at traditional businessmanC. he is not satisfied with the service of local businessmanD. the quality of Dell is not satisfying55. Why doesn’t Jenny Brazeal like to buy things on line?A. She is not sure about the quality of the goods on lineB. She doesn’t like to give her personal information to othersC. She can’t use the computerD. She doesn’t know what she is going to buyCKincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinge r. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except herfreedom.56. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A. Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – U.S Route 2 – DuluthB. U.S. Route 2 – Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – DuluthC. U.S. Route 2 – U.S Route 20 – Duluth – Bellingham – Washington 11D. Bellingham – Washington 11 –U.S. Route 2 –U.S Route 20 –Duluth57. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Kincaid’s parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some dist ant relatives.B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.58. Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?A. To write “memory snapshots”.B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.C. To avoid forgetting the way back.D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.59. What can you know about Marian?A. She died after five years of marriage.B. She was older than Kincaid.C. She could sing very well and earned big money.D. She was not a professional pop singer.60. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that _____A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
