I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she   31   at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy,   32   we take him home?”I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden   33   feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her   34  , whether it was   35   in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing   36   and beggary.    A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and   37   it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I   38   us up. Nora was   39   about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how   40   our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to   41   myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn   42  . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this? Still, we phoned the   43   person we’d been appointed. She   44   us right over. The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. Once inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess   45   us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.Professionals call such a(n)   46   “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something   47   that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve to needy people and   48   clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve   49   her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has   50   more?31.

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf(because of me). She had never let me see her tears.51. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes? A. Cruel.   B. Serious. C. Strict. D. Cold.52. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______. A. the skill to throw and catch things B. the speed of one’s hand movement C. the strength and skill to hang and sway D. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar53. What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply? A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it. B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up. C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher. D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.54. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______. A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep B. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph D. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth B(part of Yanglan’s speech in Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games)Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon! Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.      Many people are fascinated by China’s Sport legends（传奇）in history. For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was so popular that women were also participating. So now, you probably will understand why our women football team does so well today.……. With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-----Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the torch will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. I am afraid I can not give the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Before I end, let me share with you one story. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a faraway land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true. And Marco answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you to athletes, spectators(观众) and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all. 55. In Yanglan’s speech, she mentioned a game called Cuju, she implied that _____. A. China is the original country of football. B. China is a country with a long history in sports. C. People in China used to play football well. D. Women in China are good at football.56. Mt. Everest refers to _____. A. a person who is known to many people in the world B. Himalayas C. Mount Qomolangma  D. the Olympic Torch57. Which of the following is not the promise that China will keep to the world? A. Whoever takes part in the Beijing Olympic Games will have a great time in Beijing. B. The flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.   C. The Olympic Torch will reach the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma. D. Marco Polo’s stories will await athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience.58. Marco Polo’s answer meant that ______ A. what he wrote was half better than what he saw. B. he was interested in half of what he had seen.  C. he was not able to describe the beauty of the faraway land. D. there were so many true stories that he could only tell part of them. CNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their live trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman a professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特性). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.” All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out, ” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist(伦理学家).Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher.” All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”59. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. People often suffer from bad memories. B. American researchers are trying to develop a pill. C. Forget bad memories, and be happy. D. The research has caused a heated argument.60. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “      ”. A. the new drug  B. the research into the drug C. the bad memory  D. the chemical the drug61. Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the supporters? A. The pill can erase all the memories of the past. B. Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering. C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories. D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.62. Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents (反对者)? A. Our memories give us our identity. B. The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past. C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases. D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out. D Obesity(过度肥胖) contributes to global warming, too． Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population really swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene &Tropical Medicine says．“We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility, Obesity is a key part of the big picture.” Edwards one of the researchers, said in a telephone interview．     At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese(肥胖的)．The World Health Organization（WHO） projects by 2015, 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese．BMI is a calculation of height to weight, and the normal range is usually considered to be 18 to 25, with more than 25 considered overweight and above 30 obese．The researchers found that obese people require 1,680 daily calories to support normal energy and another 1,280 calories to maintain daily activities, 18 percent more than someone with a stable BMI．Because thinner people eat less and are more likely to walk than rely on cars, a slimmer population would lower demand for fuel for transportation and agriculture, Edwards , said． This is also important because 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions（排放物）come from agriculture, he added．The next step is quantifying（测算）how much a heavier population is contributing to climate change, higher fuel prices and food shortages, he also added．“Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of food.” Edwards and Roberts wrote in their research report．63.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “swells” mean? A. changes  B. affects  C. decreases   D. becomes large64. According to the passage a middle -aged man whose BMI is 28, we may think he is      .A. normal in weight  B. overweight   C. rather thin      D. obese65. It can be inferred from the research that      .A. obese people require 2960 daily calories to maintain normal energy and daily activitiesB. Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI has nothing to do with foodC. thinner people eat less and are less likely to walk than rely on cars D. a heavier population would lower demand for fuel for transportation and agriculture66. What is the best title for this passage?A. Obesity, a global responsibilityB. How to calculate BMIC. Obesity Contributes to Global WarmingD. Obesity affects agriculture  E         President George Bush is heading to Camp David(戴维营) for Thanksgiving, thankful for his almost-expired(届满) "privilege of serving as the president."President-elect Barack Obama is staying in Chicago to "have a whole bunch of people over to the house" and squeeze in some Christmas shopping.On a holiday designed for reflection(回忆), one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.Dressed casually(随便地) in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy(poor) at a Chicago church with wife Michelle and their two daughters, shaking hands and jovially telling people "you can call me Barack."He followed that with a quick visit to a school next door, where he asked the excited kids, "Who's going to have turkey?" "Who's going to have green beans?" "Who's going to have sweet potato pie?"Obama has shown a knack(窍门) for symbolism, in this case following the Thanksgiving tradition of helping the poor, said David Greenberg, a Rutgers University historian who is working on a history of political spin."Here he's showing a different side of himself, the president as national conscience or moral authority. I think that's probably a good note for him to introduce in a transition period(过渡周期) that's been so heavily focused on Wall Street and the financial system and these economic problems," he said. "He's not forgetting who these economic problems are hurting the most."For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia(怀旧). He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared(放飞) the Thanksgiving turkey, "Pumpkin," on Wednesday.He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters — "two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago" — and that his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, was doing well after being hospitalized."Most of all," he said, "I thank the American people for the tremendous privilege of serving as the president."This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 — and a chance for a little lesson for the kids."I want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure they're giving back," he said of bringing the girls to the church.And what's he thankful for?"I just want you to know what I'm thankful for is my family and my friends and my community," he told the schoolchildren. "That's the most important thing."67. The best title of the passage should be      . A. Thanksgiving for Bush and Obama B. Thanksgiving Day C. How to celebrate Thanksgiving Day D. Thanksgiving Day for presidents68. The underlined word squeeze in paragraph 2 is closest to      . A. force      B. push         C. join       D. take69. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage? A. Bush is thought highly of by the people in the article. B. Bush’s daughters are 27 years old now. C. Obama visited some of the people who needed help. D. Bush gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people 70. The passage suggests that      . A. It’s a tradition for a US president to spare a turkey on Thanksgiving Day. B. On Thanksgiving Day, Obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends. C. Obama asked his two daughters to make contributions to the US economy. D. Bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the US president. 第四部分 第一节: 完成句子71.                      (从……判断)the teacher’s expression, he has a good chance of winning. (judge).72.

In foreign countries , we have more chances to learn about foreign culture , customs and habits, which can broaden our mind .Though we have to look after ourselves abroad and maybe life is hard for us , it will help us train our ability to live independently and deal with problems  .Yours sincerely, •                                                                                   Li Hua Dear editor , I don’t think it is good to send teenagers abroad to study .Compared with China’s education , foreign education has many problems . Some foreign schools are not as good as those of our country in teaching quality . In those schools , students can’t learn more , and therefore waste a lot of money , which is a heavy burden to their families .Teenagers are too young to take care of themselves either in their study or in their daily life , which in turn will bring a lot of trouble to them .As they may don’t have the ability to tell right from wrong , and lack necessary help and guidance , some lose their interest in studies and even learn something bad .Yours sincerely,                                                                                        Li Hua
