第一节(共15小题;每题2分,满分30分)
A
Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle(丛林) of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”
21. The best title for the passage would be _________.
A. Break away from the past B. Touched by the Moon

B. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.
C. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.
People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists (心理学家) and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are sure of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors(上司), will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员). After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
11
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.
25.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The influence of confidence on one's life.
B.The difference of people's confidence..
C.The importance of confidence to success
D.The judgment on one's confidence.
26.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______.
A.who dream to be recognized experts
B.who expect to give guidance to others
C.who want to ask the boss for a raise
D.who think their goals are hard to reach
27.What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.outgoing B.attractive C.important D.energetic
28.What message does the author want to convey(传递) in the last paragraph?
A.To overlook one's disadvantages.
B.To make full use of one's advantages.
C.To have great confidence in one's abilities.
D.To make objective evaluations of one's abilities.

My son has poliomyelitis (小二麻痹症) and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife
and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kind of treatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like
a normal kid.
So he was laughed at by his classmates for his walking style and he was very sad. Then he became
afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.
One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this
forever. You are a freak in other’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s
eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and will love
11
you forever!” My son
spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something
wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”
You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being laughed at any longer. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to Harvard University. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”
My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.

第二节 七选五 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
What is a big dream ? (36) Or , is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. (37) Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
(38)
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. (39) In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed
11
at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.(40)
A. Family and Friends
B. How Big Dreams Die?
C. Does a big dream show one’s future ?
D. They simply fail until they succeed.
E. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
F. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong
G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

第二节 语法填空 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
Long before, there was a large mountainside, where rested an eagle’s nest(鹰巢) with four large
eagle eggs. One day, 61 earthquake rocked the mountain, causing one of the eggs to roll down
the mountain to a chicken farm 62 (locate) in the valley below. The chickens were kind
enough to care for the eagle’s egg, and an old hen volunteered to nurture (育) and raise the large
egg.
One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, 63 , the eagle was raised to be a
11
chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more 64 a chicken. The eagle loved his present
family, but his spirit cried out for more. While playing on the farm one day, the eagle happened to
notice a group of eagles flying 65 the sky. “Oh,” the eagle cried, “I wish I could soar like those
birds.”
The chickens roared with 66 (laugh), “You cannot fly with those birds. You are a chicken and
chickens do not soar.The eagle continued staring at his real family up above, 67 (dream) that he could
be with them.
Each time the eagle would make his dreams 68 (know), he was told it couldn’t be done. That is 69
the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, aftersome time, stopped dreaming and continued to live like a
chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are. So, if you ever dream of becoming an eagle,
follow 70 dreams…not the words of a chicken.

As the college entrance examination is drawing near. We Senior Three students are occupied with busy schoolwork. To a certain degree, PE class is our only chance to relax and enjoy ourselves at school. However, it is a pity that our present PE class is quite dull and sometimes even replaced by other subjects.
Not only can PE class build our body but also can shape our personality(个性). It serves to develop our awareness of cooperation(合作) and spirit of competition. Therefore, personally I hold the view that it would be a great loss(损失) to us students if it were replaced by other lessons. Meanwhile, I think the teachers can design and organize some fun sports besides dull field and track(径赛)practice or ball games, where everyone can be involved and have fun as well. After all, not everybody thinks running, jumping or ball games appealing(有吸引力的).
I hope PE class can not only enrich(丰富) our school life but also enable everyone to find his or her own pleasure in it.
