James was particularly devoted to the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful instructions about the pet’s care. At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar?”  “Edgar is dead.” Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然的). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian’s (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. That’s the way a sensitive man would have told me about Edgar. And, oh, before I forget,” James added, “how is mother?”  “Oh,” Herbert said, pausing for a moment, “She’s on the roof.” 56. James telephoned his brother at the end of his first day away because he wanted to know _____.A. what he was doing B. whether he was goodC. whether the cat was good  D. where his mother was57. Why did James say his brother was insensitive?A. Because he told him the news directly.B. Because he killed their pet.C. Because his mother was on the roof.D. Because he missed the truth about the cat.58. From the last paragraph of the passage, we can know that the mother was probably _____.A. on the roof       B. ill or even dead  C. repairing the house     D. playing gamesB      Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.     Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960’s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.     Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group be-fore them.     The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.     The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960’s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people.     By the 1970’s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.      In the middle 1970’s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam. 59. The main topic of this passage is _______.A. the history of American music B. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groups  D. the new forms of rock and roll music60. Which of the following matches is NOT true?A. the Beatles — Chuck Berry      B. the Rolling Stones — SatisfactionC. Jimi Hendrix — Purple Haze  D. Bruce Springsteen — Born to Run61. Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?A. Elvis Presley’s.       B. Bob Dylan’s. C. Jimi Hendrix’s.      D. Springsteen’s.62. From the passage, we can know that _______.A. one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “concept” B. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC. rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningD. rock and roll music probably came from African American musicCVilla Nicoletta, Genuine RelaxationSomewhere in the world, there’s a place where stress isn’t allowed and peace and genuine relaxation are the only demands of the day.

Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot. 1. Protect wildlife habitat. Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction. 2. Reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species. The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction. 3. Place decals (贴花纸) on windows. It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office. 4. Slow down when driving. Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.67. What would be the best title for this passage?A. How animals go to extinctionB. The importance of protecting wildlifeC. What to do to help save wildlifeD. How to protect wildlife habitat68. By writing the underlined sentence, the writer means that _____.A. more parks and reserves should be builtB. we should have more habitats free of destructionC. there is a need for improvement in parks and re-servesD. parks and reserves are good examples of protecting wildlife69. People are advised to put decals on windows to _____.A. decorate the houses and beautify the environmentB. protect the windows from birds hittingC. attract more birds to make homes nearbyD. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake70. The underlined phrase “prey on” in the passage means _____.A. drive away      B. live with    C. kill for food       D. fight withETens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26 — funded with ￡ 2.5 million of taxpayers’ money — was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world，who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007，up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost ￡ 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Government’ s priorities(优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’ t know why the Government’ s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today，offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Government’ s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds，first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’ s ‘not for them’ . It’ s time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre，but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”71．Critics of the plan argued that________.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldn’t get free ticketsD. the government wouldn’t be able to afford it72．According to the supporters, the plan should________. A. benefit the television industry           B. focus on producing better plays C. help increase the sales of tickets        D. involve all the young people in England73．Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A. Ninety five theatres have received funding. B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.    D. Free tickets are offered once every day.74．We can infer from the passage that in England________.A. many plays are not for young people B. many young people don’ t like theatreC. people know little about the plan D. children used to receive good arts education75．According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems ________.A. controversial        B. inspiring     C. exciting       D. unreasonable第II卷（非选择题 共35分）第四部分   写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。Bright colors, balloons, clowns, and contests combine to create a festive celebration that kids of all ages will enjoy.
