Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often 36 that he had been cheated by others．One day he told his wife he was so 37 with the city that he had to leave．

So his family moved to another city．It was the evening of a weekend．When Terry and his wife were busily 38 up their new home, the light suddenly 39 ．Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along 40 and had to wait 41 in a low mood．Just then he heard light, hesitant 42 on his door that were clearly audible in the 43 night．“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a 44 to this city．And this was the moment he especially hated to be 45 , so he went to the door and opened it 46 ．At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor．” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door 47 ．“What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife．“No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to 48 things．”

After a while, the door was knocked again．He opened it and found the same girl outside．49 this time she was 50 two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles．She 51 me here to give you these．” Terry was very 52 by what he saw．

At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 53 in life．It was his 54 and harshness with other people．The person who had cheated him in life was 55 nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred （蒙蔽）by his unsympathetic mind．

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Giving children foods to which people added calcium to help build up their bones may be a waste of time, say experts．The mineral is added to many breakfast cereals, snack bars and drinks as producers can attract the parental market．But scientists have found that such products do not produce significantly stronger bones, nor do they reduce the chance of a child suffering fractures （骨折）．

It is thought that calcium unnaturally added to food passes through the body too quickly to be properly absorbed and therefore fails to perform the same functions as foods which are naturally rich in calcium, such as milk, cheese and leafy green vegetables．

It is now built into such things as Kellogg’s Coco Pops, breakfast bars such as the Frosties Cereal and Milk bar, some Tropicana orange juices and even the calcium-enriched water called Danone Activ．

The theory is that if children build strong bones, it will protect them better against problems such as osteoporosis in later life．But the research casts doubt on the usefulness of such products．Experts analyzed 19 studies where children aged between 3 and 19 were given extra calcium in their diet in this way．They then measured the effect by measuring their bone mineral density and mineral content．The team found few significant increases in bone mass and none in the two bones which can most likely lead to fracture — the lower spine （脊骨）and upper part of the thigh （大腿）．

A small effect was noted in bone density in the arm, but it cut the risk of fracture by just 0．2 percent, according to the report published in the Cochrane Library．The influential publication is produced by the International Health Research Organization, the Cochrane Collaboration．The chief researcher Professor Frank R Greer of the University of Wisconsin said the findings for children prove the same as those seen in adult studies．“You can get some short-term improvements but as soon as you stop the supplements it goes right back to where i t was,” he said．56．According to the text, foods with added calcium can _________．

A．increase the bone mass significantly

B．put a mass of calcium in the lower spine and upper part of the thigh

C．satisfy the parents’ desire to make their children healthy

D．make the children’s bones significantly stronger to let them suffer no fractures 57．Which of the following is TRUE about the food to which calcium is added?

A．Calcium in it has more effect on children than on adults．

B．Your bones will be too strong to break as a consequence of it．

C．It can increase the mass of the lower spine and the thigh effectively．

D．If you stop eating it, the effect on your bones will disappear．

58．Experts hold a _________ attitude towards the food to which people added calcium．A．positive B．negative C．neutral D．not clear 59．Which kind of food is naturally rich in calcium?

A．Kellogg’s Coco Pops B．Frosties Cereal and Milk bar

C．leafy green vegetables D．Danone Activ

B

We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head angrily and started yelling bad words at us．

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy．And I mean , he was friendly．So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” And this was what my ta xi driver told me which, I call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck．’Many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment．As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump（倾卸）it．And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you．When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally．You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on．You’ll be happy you did．So this was it: “The Law of the Garbage Truck．” I started thinking, how ofte n do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do it anymore．”

I began to see garbage trucks．I see the load they’re carrying．I see them coming to drop it off．And like my Taxi Driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on．Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting．Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses．What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly they can get back their focus on what’s important．60．Who acted like a garbage truck in the incident described in the first two paragraphs?

A．The writer．B．The taxi driver．

C．The black car driver．D．None of them．

61．The sentence “You’ll be happy you did” at the end of the 3rd paragraph means you’ll ．A．be as happy as you used to be B．be as happy as you expected

C．be happy though you were not D．be happy that you did as I say 62．When the writer said “I’m not going to do it anymore”, he meant he’d no longer．A．see garbage trucks B．have garbage dumped on him

C．dump garbage on others D．be a garbage truck himself

63．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Ignore unpleasantness and stick to your tasks．

B．Try to be good leaders as well as good parents．

C．Always be kind and hard-working

D．Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next．

C

Most young architects --particularly those in big cities --can only dream about working in a building of their own．And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell．Their building is a former automobile electrical –parts firm in Atlanta．From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting walls．

In , Yocum and Bell f ound this building in the city’s West End．Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down．But the price was right, so Yocum bought it．He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition（拆除）, pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building．The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there-the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said．Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops．It’s like an art installation（装置）in there- a slow-motion show．

Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof．The back of the building is a wording area and a living room for Yocum and his wife．A sort of buffer（缓冲）zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond．

Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work．It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less．

64．According to the passage, mostly it is _________ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own．

A．easy B．dreamless C．hard D．common 65．Yocum bought the old building because _________．

A．it was a bargain to him

B．it was still in good condition

C．it was located in the city center

D．it looked attractive from the outside

66．Working on the old building, Yocum and bell _________．

A．pulled rubbish out through the roof

B．removed the skylights from the bathroom

C．presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery

D．built a kitchen at the back part of the old building

67．It can be concluded from the passage that _________．

A．people can learn a lot from their failures

B．young architects are worthy of spending money on an old building．

C．people should not judge things by their appearance

D．creative people can make the best of what they have

D

As for the car, it was purchased by another couple in Iowa who planned to give it to their 19-year-old son．Hambleton said: “Do not have any alcohol in that car．And if you do, don’t hide it under the front seat．”

68．Why did Jane decide to sell her son’s car?

A．Because she is a mean mother to her teenage son．

A Ten-minute Break

As a Senior Three student ,time seems much limited ．As a result , more and more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon , even during the ten-minute break ．In my opinion , to take a ten-minute break between classes in necessary ．Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally ．

During the ten-minute break , we do something to get rid of tiredness ．What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired ．So doing nothing tiring in that period is really good for us ．

My ten-minute break is always pleasing ．Sometimes I do some simple exercise ．Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside ．When the next class begins , I feel fresh again ．
