It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage. The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important. I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor. I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did. A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors. Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney. In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.56. From the passage we can learn that the young man _______.A. made his turn to start back pitifully B. was skillful in freestyle in the gameC. swam faster than the average swimmer D. was not capable enough to win the medal57. The crowd changed their attitudes because _______. A. they felt sorry for the young man B. they wanted to show their sympathy C. they were moved by the young man D. they meant to please the young man58. According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______. A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals59. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Go for it! B. Try again！ C. Compete for Gold! D. Break a Record!BPhillip Island Penguins (企鹅)The Little Penguin has called Phillip Island home for untold generations.

The Vineyard is rich in history, breathtaking beaches, and beautiful scenery. It is well known for its unique lighthouses – you’ll enjoy the variety and the history of each lighthouse, among the most photographed structures on the Vineyard. When the former First Family, the Clintons, chose to vacation on the island several years ago, it became a more popular tourist attraction.Martha’s Vineyard got its name from its discoverer, Bartholomew Gosnold, who gave it the name of his wife Martha and was in memory of the thick growth of wild trees on the land.The island of Martha’s Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the southeastern coast of Massachusetts，United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers. The island was discovered early in the 17th century. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the new-comers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of whaling and sailing ships, Martha’s Vineyard was almost forgotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the small buildings of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays. 63．What is Martha’s Vineyard famous for? A．Lighthouses. B．A long history. C．Friendly Indians. D．Fishing industry.64．Which of the following maps tells where Martha’s Vineyard is？ （Mas = Massachusetts；C = Cape Cod；M = Martha's Vineyard）
65．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．How the island got its name. B．The population of the island. C．The scenery of the island. D．When the island was discovered.66．When you visit Martha’s Vineyard, . A．you can see a lot of hills in the eastern parts B．you can enjoy the sunshine on the beach on the northern side C．you can live in the fishermen’s old houses in the hills D．you can see different kinds of lighthouses and learn about the historyDDear SJ,Losing a best friend is never easy.Your problem is not just that you miss your best friend; it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.It takes time to get over a lost, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit longer, it may work to your advantage. Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too dependent upon them.At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a good boyfriend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boyfriends are completely different from best friends. The distinction is that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of bond.I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place.And, by the way, next time you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself. “Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?”
67．Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know . A．whether to give up her best friend B．what to do without her best friend C．whom to choose between two friends D．how to stop missing her former friend68．The underlined part “a new way of being” (in Paragraph 3) refers to the situation in which SJ has to . A．find a new friendship B．live without her boyfriend C．learn to give up D．learn to be independent69．The writer believes by the time SJ’s former friend loses her boyfriend, SJ will . A．take revenge on her former friend B．comfort her former friend C．feel more independent and confident D．continue friendship with her former friend70．What does the last paragraph seem to suggest? A．Unhappy experiences are easy to forget. B．Keeping a diary helps correct oneself. C．SJ will get over her problem soon. D．One shouldn’t forget the past experiences.ELife on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water — whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met . Given that premise (前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more equal access to water or better engineering solutions.Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river — the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the near future, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance.The engineers’ ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability, too. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less floodplain (洪泛区) agriculture — none of which were expected. And their average economic life is assumed to be thirty years. Dams don’t exist forever, but what will replace them is not clear.The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology (转基因) will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World? 71．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．The engineering solutions to water resource and their limitation. B．The challenge for the future. C．The basic means of controlling water. D．The challenge for developing crops.72．Which of the following statements is NOT true for meeting our basic needs for water? A．Water resource should be used more reasonably. B．More dams should be built in river basins. C．More wetlands should be protected from destruction. D．More dry-land crops could be developed in Africa.73．The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because . A．The ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchers B．The ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the future C．The future is an information age D．Governments will face greater challenge in the future 74．The author mentions all the problems caused by dams EXCEPT . A．fewer fish B．less grazing land C．less floodplain agriculture D．less farming land75．The last sentence probably implies that . A．No one will invest in developing locally appropriate crops in Africa B．Researchers have no interest in developing dry-land crops C．Research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World may be profitable D．There is less water resource in the Third World第II卷 （非选择题 共45分）I.

Writing 25’Sample 1:Thomas EdisonBorn in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his life time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Menlo Park”.He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.What impresses me most is his famous saying. “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.Sample 2: Helen KellerEvery time I read “…..if I had the power of sight for three days”, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller. an ordinary but great American woman.I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sullivan, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.Sample 3:William ShakespeareDo you know Hamlet? Have you read The Merchant of Venice? These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world. I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!Since “Life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone had his own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.
