阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

A fox in the deep forest of long ago had lost its front legs. No one knew what caused so. A

man, who lived on the edge of the forest, seeing the fox from time to time, wondered how in the world it managed to get its food. One day when the fox was not far from him he had to hide

himself quickly because a tiger was approaching. The tiger had fresh game in its claws. Lying down on the ground, it ate its fill, leaving the rest for the fox.

Again the next day the tiger did the same and the fox appeared again. Seeing this, the man began to think, "If this fox is taken care of in this mysterious way, its food sent by some unseen higher power, why don't I just rest in a corner and have my daily meal provided for me?"

Because he had a lot of faith, he let the days pass, waiting for food. Nothing happened. He just went on losing weight and strength until he was nearly a skeleton. Close to losing consciousness, he heard a voice which said, "Oh you, who have mistaken the way, see now the truth! You should have followed the example of that tiger instead of imitating the disabled fox."

********************************************************************* So from the above story, we may have some questions to think about:

In what ways do you feel like the disabled fox or the tiger?

Is it OK for the disabled fox to continue living, or would it be better off either dead or never alive in the first place?

Are there any people in your life who are like the disabled fox, but you wish they were more like the tiger?

56. What did the man see in the forest one day?

A. A tiger was eating a fox.

B. A fox was trying to get food from a tiger.

C. A tiger was leaving food to a fox.

D. A fox was driven away by a tiger.

57. What did the man decide to do after he saw the tiger and the fox?

A. Learn from the tiger.

B. Learn from the fox.

C. Wait for the tiger and the fox.

D. Wait for what the tiger was leaving.

58. Which of the following will happen in the end of the story?

A. The man would try to drive away the fox.

B. The man would stop waiting but get himself fed.

C. The man would never see the tiger and the fox.

D. The man would never understand the tiger and the fox.

59. Why does the author give out the above questions?

A. Because he himself was the man in the forest.

B. Because he is trying to compare man with animals.

C. Because he is asked these questions but can not answer them.

D. Because he wants readers to think about the truth of life.

B

Eleven years ago, three people decided to sit in silence for an hour, in an everyday Silicon Valley living room. No teachers or experts. No set agendas (议程) or proposed beliefs either. Just silence for an hour every week with one strong principle —when you change within, the world changes.

And instead of closing the door, they left it open ... open to all. The rest, as they say, is history.

Simply put, Wednesday evenings are about sharing. In the spirit of an ashram (僻静), we offer the space for everyone to walk their own walk. A random group of 20—40 folks conference once a week; we meditate (沉思) for an hour and follow it up with a roundtable sharing of "aha"

moments from everyday life, based on the wide-ranging weekly journey reading.

While each journey takes different routes, the paths have many similarities. Along that road, sometimes, it is useful to have a place to share ... our conviction, compassion, presence or even something indescribable. We grow and learn by listening both to ourselves and the people around us, by looking within—and without.

Over the years, thousands of folks have come; some offered much, some received much, but all were present with the same heart. We don't really understand how this spontaneous（自发的）gathering of goodness happens every Wednesday, but as hosts, we feel fortunate to have such an opportunity to be of service, and to be home for such sincere and powerful inspiration.

These meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend. For many of us they have been and continue to be a constant source of inspiration, insight—and joy.

And you're invited to join us this Wednesday!

60. What happened eleven years ago?

A. Wednesday evenings came into being.

B. Groups of people gathered in silence.

C. Silicon Valley became popular.

D. Experts were invited to Wednesday evenings.

61. What do people do every Wednesday evening according to the above passage?

A. They go out to have a journey outside.

B. They gather together and share what they have read.

C. They hold parties where every one can talk free.

D. They discuss what to read for next Wednesday.

62. Why do the people hosting Wednesday evenings feel fortunate?

A. Because they have met so many inspired people.

B. Because they consider their work valuable.

C. Because they feel popular with so many people.

D. Because they have earned a lot of managing experience.

63. Which of the following can serve as a proper title of the whole passage?

A. Activities on Wednesday evenings, Silicon Valley

B. Birthplace of Wednesday evenings.

C. Characteristics of Wednesday Evenings.

D. Welcome to Wednesday evenings.

C

I’m fat. I’m too skinny. I’d be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs. Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you’re not alone. As a teen, you’re going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image (形象) of yourself. Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence.

Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.

The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you’re very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it’s no one’s business but your own what your body is like—finally, you have

to be happy with yourself.

Next, find which aspects (方面) of your appearance you can change and which you can’t change and need to accept—like your height, for example, or your shoe size.

If there are things about yourself that you want to change you can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.

When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes.

64. From the first paragraph, we can infer that ______.

A. many teens can’t accept their body change easil y

B. most teens like to have a special body image

C. teens prefer to change their body image quickly

D. teens usually change their opinions on their body image

65. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A. Change the way other people look at you.

B. Go to your doctor for advice on how to change your body.

C. Realize you can’t change everything about yourself.

D. Learn from some celebrities on how to change your body.

66. The underlined phrase “put yourself down” in the first paragraph probably means “______”.

A. make yourself fall down

B. say negative things about yourself

C. force yourself to do something

D. write down your name somewhere

67. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. how to adjust to the changes of your body

B. how to build confidence by changing your body

C. how to keep an attractive body image

D. how to find pleasure in your day

D

Being a mother is apparently not like it was in the good old days.

Today’s parents yearn for the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found. Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to handle work and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.

The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did – just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day. And 64 per cent said this was because they felt they ‘had’ to go out to work, while nearly a third (29 per cent) said they were under constant pressure to be the ‘perfect mother’, the report found.

Other findings showed social networking and parenting websites, as well as technology such as Skype, were important in providing help and support among female communities. Kate Fox, a member of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter & Gamble,

said, ‘With increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift” — to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever.

It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialized nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ‘primary activity’. Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time—more than two and a half hours—looking after their offspring, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their offspring in the hands of nurseries or child minders, is putting the well-being of their children at risk.

The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them—even if their husband is not in work. A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child—18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work. Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.

68. What does the underlined phrase “yearn for” probably means “______”?

A. hate

B. forget

C. miss

D. control

69. Which of the following problems is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Today’s mothers have less time left for their children and themselves.

B. The working mothers can hardly strike the balance between work and family.

C. Most of the mothers can not control their husbands nowadays.

D. Modern fathers do not spend enough time with their children.

70. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that______.

A. Skype is a very famous expert in studying social issues

B. working mothers can seek help on line

C. working mothers’ double shift is to be a wife and a mother

D. Kate Fox has opened a website offering help to working mothers

71. What critics say means that ______.

A. it is wise for working mothers to put their kids in nurseries or child minders

B. children do not like nurseries or child minders at all

C. nurseries or child minders are dangerous places for children

D. too much time in nurseries or child minders is bad for kids’ mental and physical health

E

Economics (经济学) is the study of how societies with limited resources decide what to produce, how to produce and for whom to produce. What, how, and for whom to produce are problems all over the world because human needs are practically unlimited, but all societies have only limited quantities of resources that can be used to produce goods or services.

A knowledge of basic economics is important for understanding both the problems and opportunities that will face the world economy in the 21st century. As a student of economics, one will have the chance to discover how commerce, govern-

ment policies, and day-to-day decisions made by consumers affect his living standards. The study of economics can help him understand the influence of such events as the move to free markets in Poland and Russia, or of ups and downs in interest rate and the foreign exchange rate. Economics is influenced by developments in the many different areas of business, politics, science, nature, religion and history. And whether or not one is aware of it, economics is an important part of his

life.

From a practical point of view, one's study of economics will help improve his decision-making (决策) skills. He learns a logical way to compare different courses of action. As he studies the concept (概念) of opportunity cost, for instance, he will discover that every choice he makes has both a benefit and a cost. Let us suppose someone decides to get a part-time job so he can earn enough money to buy a car. He will have the benefit of owning the car, but he will pay a cost in terms of the leisure hours he gives up for working so as to pay for the car and keep it in good condition. After weighing his choice in cost-benefit terms, he may decide he does not need a car any more.

72. According to the passage, economics is studied to______.

A. get more resources for human beings

B. put human needs under some control

C. satisfy the unlimited human needs with the limited resources

D. produce better goods and services for all human beings

73. Economics can help one make better decisions because he learns______.

A. how to weigh the cost and the benefit

B. all the practical economic theories

C. something useful about business

D. a logical way of thinking

74. Why does the person have to give up leisure hours in the example of buying a car?

A. Because he has to spend some time in the car.

B. Because he has to work extra hours to get the money.

C. Because he is busy working for his boss.

D. Because keeping a car in good condition takes much time.

75. What is the central topic of the second paragraph?

A. Influences of economics.

B. Importance of knowing economics.

C. Uses of economics.

D. Scope (范围) of economic studies.

第二节.书面表达One Possible Version

Dear friends,

As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it’s a very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.

To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly.

In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.

That’s all. Thank you!
