winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005．While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor, my husband，had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival．he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone．    The bike，a black Kona 18 speed，was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk along distances from where we live everyday．    I was so bad that someone would steal our bike that r wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．    People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a good effect in our lives because it strengthened our belief in humanity(人性)as a whole．And it has influenced(影响)us to be more mindful of ways we，too，can share with others．No matter how big or how small，all act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be never-ending．41．Why was the bike so important to the people? A．The man’s job was bike racing．      B．It was the only thing they own． C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed．  D．They used it for work and daily life．42．We can infer(推断)from the text that      A．the family worked 60 hours a week．      B．people were busy before Christmas      C．the stranger brought over the bike． D．life was hard for the young family．43．How did people get to know the couple’s problem?   A．From radio broadcasts．     B．From a newspaper．   C．From TV news．  D．From a stranger．44．What does the couple learn from their experience?   A．Strangers are usually of little help．     B．One should take care of their bike．   C．News reports make people famous． D．An act of kindness can mean a lot．   B    Marrakesh has many names—The Red City, Pearl of the South，The Heartbeat of Morocco—and lives up to them all．This lively city in central Morocco attracts Visitors with its beautiful palaces，ancient winding streets，colorful goods，and lively city square．    One of the city’s most famous places to visit is the medina--its walled，ancient quarter within which lies a number of small，winding streets．This area dates back to the founding of the city in the 11th century．Marrakesh's earliest rulers built walls around the medina as well as Muslim temple and palaces within it．Most of those were ruined by conquerors in 1147，but the city nourished(兴旺)again from the 17th through the 19th centuries，when many new architectural (建筑的)wonders were built．    Today, these monuments give visitors a feel for the history and culture of the city．But the medina is not a museum．It is all exciting place, filled with people day and night．This area still houses the city’s traditional(传统的)market, the largest one in Morocco．The market, or souk serves locals and visitors alike，selling spices(香料)，carpets(地毯)，leather bags，and colorful scarves(围巾)．Here visitors can also buy traditional food and old desserts in narrow streets where slaves(奴隶)were once bought and sold like animals．    Covering about seven square kilometers，the medina is a most important example of all ancient city center．In 1985，the title of World Heritage Site was given to medina by the United Nations in recognition of its historical importance and the need to keep it for future generations．45．Hat does the writer suggest about Marrakesh? A．It’s divided by a river．       B．It’s become modem in a short time  C．It draws large number of tourists． D．it shows off good public transportation46．According to this passage，what happened in the medina in 1147?  A．It was conquered by the enemies．     B．The culture recovered  C．It grew quickly   D．Peace returned47．According to this passage，what were sold at one time in medina? A．Maps of Morocco．     B．Unusual and expensive books  C．fresh vegetables and fruits． D．human beings．48．What information about the medina does the author provide in this passage? A．Its laws．      B．Its dangers  C．Its history   D．Its weather C   There are thousands of things to be sold that are of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are good enough for you to have a try．How? Packaging(包装)is the quiet but persuading salesman．       There on the shelves，each bottle，can and box has been carefully designed to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消费者)，so that he is buying not only a product(产品)but also his belief in life．Scientists have studied on this and found that the look of the package has a great influence(影响)on the“quality”of the product and on how well it sells，became“Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package．Many products are packages and many packages are products，”as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’feeling for packaging，noticed．   Colors are one of the best tools in packaging．Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly．Take V8 for example．For many years，the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it’s very good for your body．And the word “green" today can keep food prices going up．   Shapes are another attraction．Circles(圆圈)often mean happiness，became they are pleasing to both the eye and the heart．That’s why the round yellow M sings of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old．   This new consumer response(反应)to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to meet the needs of both body and heart．49．If something is round，it can          ． A．bring excitement to the consumers     B．draw the consumers’attention  C．catch the eye movement of the consumers  D．produce a happy feeling50．“ And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up” This sentence suggests that consumers today are        ． A．starting to notice the importance of new food B．enjoying the beauty of nature more than before  C．beginning to like green vegetables D．paying more attention to their health51．It can be inferred(推测)from the passage that V8 is a kind of         ．   A．vegetable dish    B．healthy juice    C．hard drink    D．red vegetable    D   How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many．   This is Life，all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal(排演)and，unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments．   We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families，always making ourselves believe that this style of life is only a temporary(暂时的)state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do．Then， at 60 or 65，we are suddenly given a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life．   In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day．”They speak slowly and seriously in their shops，hotel sand sandwich bars．I think it is a wonderful phrase，making us remember, in effect，to enjoy the moment：to value this very day．   How often do we say to ourselves，“I’ll take up horse-riding(or golf, or sailing)as soon as I get a greater job，”only to do none of those things when we do get the higher position．(职位)   When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well-paid respectable job at  Daily Telegraph to go and work for a small weekly newspaper．At the time I was surprised by his decision：Why was he in this completely abnormal(反常的)mental(精神)state? How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small area in the countryside? I wanted to know．   Now when I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure．He lived in all unattractive London suburb(郊区)and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains to and back from his work．52．The first paragraph of the passage tells us that       ． A．we always try to find some time to write a book B．we always make plans but seldom complete them C．we always enjoy many of life’s best moments D．we always do what we really want to do53．The underlined phrase“turn his back on”(Paragraph 6)most probably means         ． A．leave for     B．return to     C．give up  D．rely on54．The man(Paragraph 6)left his first job became he was          ． A．in an abnormal mental state     B．under too much pressure C not well-paid   D．not respected55．What is probably the best title for the passage? A．Provide Homes for Our Family     B．Take Up Horse-Riding C．Value This Very Day  D．Stay Alive EA man came home from work late，tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door．“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”“Yeah，sure，what is it?”replied the man．   56   “If you must know, I make$20 an hour．” “Oh，”the little boy replied，with his head down．Then he looked up and said，“Daddy, may I borrow$10?’’the father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you should go to bed．”   57  After about an hour, the man calmed down，and started to think．Maybe his son really needed to something buy with that$10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often．   58   “Are you asleep，son?”He opened the door and asked．“No，Daddy,”replied the boy．“I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you just now．”said the man,“Here’s the $10 you asked for．”  59   “Oh，thank you Daddy！”he shouted．Then，reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change．60   “Why do you want more money if you have already had some?” the father asked angrily．“Because I didn't have enough，but now I do．”The little boy replied，“Daddy, I have$20 now．Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home earlier tomorrow,1 would like to have dinner with you．”A．Silently the little boy returned the money to his father with tears．B．The man，seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again．C．“Daddy“how much do you make an hour?”     D．“Daddy, how much do you spend a day?”E．The man went to the door of his son’s room．F．The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door．G．The little boy sat straight up，smiling．56           57           58          59           60           阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答(不多于8个单词)。答语要结构正确；书写工整，字迹清楚。(Paragraph 1)We all love bubbles．They fly through the air 1ike little glass balls，shining with colors and light．(Paragraph 2)You can make bubbles with dishwashing liquid soap(洗涤液)and a paper cup．The bubbles you blow(吹)will be really big!(Paragraph 3) •A large bowl•A spoon•4 cups of water•5 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid soap(洗涤液)•A pair of scissors(剪子)•A paper cup（Paragraph 4）Steps to make bubbles1．Fill the bowl with the water．2．Add the dishwashing liquid soap(洗涤液)into the water and mix them together．3．Cut a small hole(洞)in the bottom of the paper cup．This is the hole that you will blow(吹)through．4．Dip(浸)the top nm(边缘)of the cup into the soap water．Slowly lift the cup out of the bowl．There should be a thin “window"’ of soap water covering the open space o the cup．5．Slowly put your mouth up to the hole in the bottom of the cup．Gently blow air through the hole．A big bubble will rise into the air!    ’  For a party, you call make a bowl of soapy water and a paper cup bubble-blower for each friend．Just think of how many bubbles you can make together!   61．What do bubbles look like?                                                                   62．Which step tells you to add dishwashing liquid soap(洗涤液)into the water?                                                                   63．To blow more bubbles，which two steps should you do again?                                                                   64．What might be the topic of Paragraph 3?                                                                   65．What is the passage mainly about?                                                                   第四节．根据句意用词汇的正确形式填空。66．Because he didn’t finish the work on time and was fired by company, he was very u   about it 67．I shouldn’t have eaten that big ice cream—I'm s           (因…而痛苦)from a pain in my stomach now．68．He         (忽略)the doctor's advice and continues smoking．69．First he always said no to the plan，but later, supporters talked about the advantages of it all the time and f          he had to give in．70．The small village was completely d           by the earthquake．Everything was buried underground．71．We are not satisfied with her         (态度)to the poor．She should say sorry to them．72．You might find that writing an outline will help you to           ．(组织)your thoughts．73．The poster of this movie says that the hero is b        on a brave solider in the Ming Dynasty．74．He made repeated         (请求)for help but nobody noticed that．75．Everybody, including the teacher found him reading a magazine when he suddenly    (爆发)out laughing during the class． 第五节．根据所背课文填空       So why has English changed     76    ．time?    77      all languages change and develop when cultures meet and    78     with each other．    79     the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today．It was     80    more on German than the English we speak    81    ．Then    82    between about AD 800 and 1150，English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French．These flew settlers    83   the English language and especially its vocabulary．So    84    the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use ofa wider vocabulary than    85    ．In 1 620 some British settlers moved to America．Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too．English began to be spoken in both countries．注意：61-85题写在答题纸上
