I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical   47  for all the works we’11 study in class,”I complained.“How   48   they say I didn’t teach them anything?”     It was a long term,and it   49  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as  50  of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise  51  questions and provide enough background so that students could    52   their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide  53  information as directly as possible.What a difference !     54  ,I also learnt a lot,and my experience with my Chinese students made me a  55  American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture. 36.A.the UK                 B.the US                 C.China                     D.Austria 37.A.worry                  B.idea                     C.doubt                     D.experience 38.A.impress               B.put                      C.leave                      D.count  39.A.Attention              B.Look out              C.At ease                D.Stand up    40.A.puzzled                B.sure                     C.curious                  D.worried    41.A.1aunched             B.returned               C.regained                 D.followed    42.A.more                   B.even                    C.yet                        D.still     43.A.passed                 B.borrowed             C.kept                       D.read 44.A.replaced               B.taken                   C.caught                   D.reflected     45.A.typically               B.Perhaps               C.Fortunately             D.Reasonably 46.A.different              B.strong                  C.similar                   D.usual 47.A.happenings            B.characters            C.development           D.background    48.A.should                 B.need                    C.will                        D.must    49.A.immediately           B.certainly               C.simply                   D.gradually 50.A.that                     B.what                    C.those                     D.ones 51.A.difficult               B.interesting            C.ordinary                 D.unusual 52.A.draw                   B.get                      C.decide                    D.give 53.A.strange                B.standard               C.exact                     D.serious 54.A.Therefore            B.However              C.Besides                  D.Though 55.A.normal                 B.happy                  C.good                      D.better   第三部分  阅读理解     第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分) A     Paris has the Eiffel Tower,New York the Statue of Liberty;and Brussels,the Manneken Piss.     Think of the Belgian capital and,if anything,you think of the small peeing(撒尿)boy——a 60—centimeter—high bronze figure standing on a block,supplying a constant stream of water to the basin under him.     Some might laugh.But for Jacques Stroobants,the statue is up there with the best of them.     “I’m proud of him.People come from all around the world to see him,”says 60—year—old Stroobants with a fatherly glance at the little boy.As the most famous landmark of Brussels,Manneken Piss has a very special place in the heart of Belgians. The original Manneken Piss dates back to 1388。but the statue tourists see today dates from 1619 when the city built a second one after the original was destroyed.     There are many stories surrounding the legend of Mannekin Piss.Nobody knows why he was created.One story is that he saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a deadly fire with his well—aimed piss.But the most believable story is that the boy,the son of a wealthy man,was kidnapped(绑架).The father had a statue built in honor of the way his son was found—peeing against a tree.     Perhaps best—known for his naked beauty。the“peeing boy” has also been clothed in some of the finest clothes money can buy.     Stroobants has been changing his clothes for t he last 29 years.On average,he has clothes on 300 days a year.And on special occasions,he“pees”beer.     A few of the ways he’s been dressed are:a foot ball player,Mozart and an army genera1.Now,he has more than 600 pieces of clothes.       There is no strict charge for those wishing to provide clothes for the little boy.But certain conditions must be met.     “The clothes cannot include either advertising or political message,”said Stroobants,because they would cheapen the national treasure.      But the peeing boy’s image is still something local people can make money from—by selling all kinds of souvenirs.  ’ 56.Which of the following is NOT true about Manneken Piss'?     A.It has a history of more than 600 years.     B.It stands in Brussels.     C.It is best known for the clothes he wears.     D.It is 60—centimeters high. 57.The Manneken Piss has a special place in the heart of Belgians because              A.it’s good looking with water running constantly     B.it brings joys to people who see it     C.it helps people make money     D.it’s a symbol of the city 58.We can learn from the passage that         .     A.for most of the year,the boy is naked     B.Stroohants is probably in charge of taking care of the statue     C.people can provide any clothes for Manneken Piss free of charge     D.people make money by advertising Manneken Piss   B     On Nov.18,1995,Itzhak Perlman,the violinist,came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.     If you have ever been to a Perlman concert,you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症)as a child,and so he has braces (支架)on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).     He walks painfully,yet majestically,until he reaches his chair.Then he sits down,slowly,puts his crutches on the floor,undoes the clasps on his legs,tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin,puts it under his chin,nods tot he conductor and proceeds to play.     But this time,something went wrong.Just as he finished the first few bars(小节),one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear it snap(嘣断)——it went off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that meant.There was no mistaking what he had to do.     We figured that he would have to get up,put on the clasps again,pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one.But he didn’t.Instead,he waited a moment,closed his eyes and then signaled the conduct or to begin again.     The orchestra began,and he played from where he‘had left off.And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.     When he finished,there was an awesome silence in 1he room.And then people rose and cheered.He smiled,wiped the sweat from this brow,raised his bow to quiet us,and then he said in a quiet tone,“You know,sometimes is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”     59.By saying“getting on stage is no small achievement for him”,the author really means         .     A.it’S very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings     B.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled     C.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to face such a large audience D.it’s really great achievements for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings 60.Itzhak Perlman        when one of the strings of the violin broke.     A.gave up playing       B.didn’t know what to do        C.went on playing the same piece of music     D.went on playing a different piece of music 6 1.What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?        A.Surprised             B.Disappointed        C.Moved                   D.Satisfied 62.Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is            .     A.clever                  B.strong willed        C.humorous              D.quite skilled   C     What is the colour of the universe? Astronomers had not answered this question unti1 two months ago.That is when two American astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe.They said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish colour.   Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry of Johns t2Iopkins University in Baltimore,Maryland,reported their finding in January.They presented the research at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society.They said that finding the colour of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research.They did it for fun.     However,earlier this month,the scientists admitted making a mistake.They said their finding was much more colourful than it should have been.They now say the light from our universe is closer to white.It is more 1ike 8 milky or creamy white colour.     Their study attempted to show what people might see if they could observe t he universe from far away.The scientists found the average colour by combining light from about two— hundred—thousand star systems.Their information came from an observatory in New South Wales, Australia.They said it was a very pretty light green.Many newspapers and television stations reported their finding.     Other scientists and colour engineers attempted to reproduce the result.Mark Fairchild of the Rochester Institute discovered a mistake in the computer software program used by the Johns Hopkins scientist s.     When the mistake was corrected,the results changed.The new colour of the universe is much less colourful.It is very close to white. 63.The color of the universe is        A.1ight greenish         B.black                   C.blue                       D.close to white 64.The two scientists found the color of the universe by          .     A.combining light from about 200,000 star systems     B.observing at an observatory in India     C.making long—term scientific research     D.using computer software programs 65.Who found the mistake in the Johns Hopkins scientists’finding?     A.Karl Glazebrook.                                   B.Ivan Baldry.     C.Johns Hopkins.                                        D.Mark Fairchild. 66.This passage mainly tells us         .        A.what the colour of the universe is     B.the light from our universe is a light greenish colour     C.the new colour of the universe is much more colourful     D.t he finding of t he colour of the universe is difficult       D     According to the latest research in the United States of America,men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate.Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University has noticed the difference in the style of boys’and girls’conversations from an early age.She says that little girls’conversation is less definite than boys’and expresses more doubts.Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.     Those differences continue into adult life,she says.In public conversations,men talk most and interrupt other speakers more.In private conversations,men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style.Professor Tannen believes that,for women,private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲密,亲近).For men.private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship. Teaching is one job where the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show.When a man teaches a woman,says Professor Tannen,he wants to show that he has more knowledge,and therefore more power in conversation.When a woman teaches another woman,however,she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.     But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful.She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women,Professor Tannen says,women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.     Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre—programmed for language.As we are usually taught to speak by women,it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性)in its programming,otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at a11. 67.There are        in little girls’conversation than in boys’.     A.fewer doubts                                            B.more demands C.more doubt s                                             D.fewer uncertainties 68.Some scientists believe that brain is pre—programmed for language.The word“pre—programmed”means        .       A.programmed already                                B.programmed before one is born       C.programmed early                                      D.programmed by women 69.In private conversation,women speak           .     A.the same things as men                            B.less than men     C.more than men                                          D.as much as men 70.The theme of this article is            .     A.women are naturally more helpful     B.men arid women talk different languages     C.men talk most and interrupt other speakers more     I).little girls’conversation is less definite   第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)     根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余 选项.     What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Albert Einstein,and another person a fool? Are people、born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live?  71      We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.  72  Mental exercise(done with the mind) is particularly important for young children.Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.  73   If , on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.       74   According to some psychologists,if parents are always telling a child that be or she is a fool or an idiot(白痴),then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children,such as“  75  ”or“You are such a smart child.”     A.It needs exercise.     B.Parents should also be careful what they say to young children.     C.These are very old questions and t he answers to them are still not clear.     D.Child psychologists don’t believe it.     E.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.     F.You must be careful what you are doing. G.That is a very clever thing you did.                             第II卷(一部分,共35分) 第四部分   写作(共两节。满分35分) 第一节     短文改错(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)     假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.错误涉及一个单词的增加,删除或修改.     增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(/\).并在其下面写出该加的词.     删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉.     修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词.     注意:1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词;     只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不记分.     Good health is the person’s most valuable possession.Today,it is much easier to be healthy than it was the past.Modern people knew more about health,have better food,and live in clean surroundings.Also,scientists and doctors have learnt what to deal with many diseases.Most people can quick get help from a doctor or go to a hospital since they are ill.As a result,people in the modern world generally live longer than people were used to.People in developed countries can expect to live for twice as long as people who lived a few hundred years before. 第二节  书面表达(共1题,满分25分)     假设你叫李华,你的加拿大笔友James想了解一下你参加2008年全国中学生英语夏令营的有关消息,请你根据下面的海报给他写一封信,谈谈有关活动情况和活动意义,并邀请他参加你们的活动。     Welcome to Our English Summer Camp 2008 ◇营址:大连 ◇活动时间:2008年7月底,共四天 ◇参加人员:全国中学生英语能力竞赛获奖者;     中国,美国,英国和澳大利亚的英语老师 ◇活动内容:举行英语演讲比赛;     观看学生表演;游览大连风景名胜;     交流英语学习经验     Come on,Join us!     参考词汇:全国中学生英语能力竞赛NEPC; Dear James, Nice to hear from you again.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Best wishes.

Last July, I took part in the National High School Students English Summer Camp in Dalian. The camp lasted for four days. English teachers from China, America, Britain and Australia as well as students who got awards in NEPC attended the camp. During the four days, we had several interesting activities. We held an English speech competition and an evening party. In the party, some students performed perfectly and we enjoyed ourselves very much that night. We also visited famous places of interest in Dalian and they really impressed us deeply. Of course, as teenagers who all like English very much, we exchanged learning experience whenever and wherever we could. After these activities, we all became good friends. The camp left me with many warm memories. I also learnt much about English. I suggest you should take part in the camp with me this year. I’m sure you will like it. I’m looking forward to your reply.        Best wishes.     Yours truly,     Li Hua
