After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I was to thank you for teaching me a very 16 lesson in life by the great example you 17 . When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had 18 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 19 , you went over and put the 20 $ 2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 21 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 22 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 23 this.”
Last week, a young man 24 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 25 money to pay for his petrol. I asked money collector, “How much 26 is he?” she told me he had meant to put $ 15 of petrol in his car 27 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15 28 , which came to just over 29 . That is an easy mistake 30 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 31 you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 32 and said, “but why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s 33 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 34 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 35 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum

Ⅲ. 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30)
A
The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled.
In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Money Fund.
The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was formed after World War II.
As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks-the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally give birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property.
Even after seven years of talks and 22, 500 pages of agreements, there were still problems, especially the difficulty to deal with areas of agriculture and services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000. The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.
36. From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working ________.
A. soon after World War II ended
B. a little more than 50 years after World War II
C. just in the year 1994
D. seven years before the Uruguay Round talk
37. Compared with the GATT, the WTO _______.
A. didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property
B. got its members to sign the agreements more easily
C. has got to many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively
D. can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade
38. In the new century the WTO will ________.
A. take the place of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund
B. have more members and settle more problems
C. make complete new rules in every area of international trade
D. have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property
B
It was the first snow of winter- an exciting day for every child but not for most teacher. UP until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess (课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed go get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said, “These aren’t my boots, you know.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said, “They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!” Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh if relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots.”
39. According to the passage, the little girl got ______ from her brother.
A. the wool snow pants and the jacket B. the jacket and the boots
C. the jacket and the hat D. the boots and the gloves
40. What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?
A. The gloves in the toes of the boots. B. The slowness of the teacher.
C. The wrong size of the boots D. The unwillingness of the girl
41. It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter, the teacher had to help her put on her boots______ .
A. once B. twice C. three times D. four times
42. Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?
A. In her calm, motherly voice she, “By the end of winter,…”(Paragraph 2)
B. With the grace that only experience can bring, she struggled to…(Paragraph 4)
C. …she still managed to look both helpful and interested. (Paragraph 4)
D. …she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. (Paragraph 4)
C
When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time ―which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots off empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.
But while the wise have realized that they don’t need them, others ―apparently including some distinguished men of our time ―are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to ￡250,000 for a piece.
This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions ―but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?
If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five –pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.
Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A1994 Patek Philipe recently sold for nearly ￡350,000 while 1960s Rolexes have gone from￡15,000 to ￡30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up ―they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that ￡350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex.
43.The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they ______
A. have other devices to tell the time B. think watches too expensive
C. prefer to wear an iPod D. have no sense of time
44. It seems ridiculous to the writer that ______.
A. people dive 300 metres into the sea
B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones
C. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones
D. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell
45. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?
A. It targets rich people as its potential customers.
B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.
C. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.
D. It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.
46. which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Timex or Rolex? B. My Childhood Timex
C. Watches? Not for Me! D. Watches ―a Valuable Collection
D
阅读下面短文,用英语回答文后所给的5个问题。
Bacteria(细菌) are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in micron. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter; a pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron across. Thus, if you magnified a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just the size of a pinhead, while a grown-up human enlarged by the same amount would be over a mile tall.
Even with an ordinary microscope(显微镜), you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one can hardly find bacteria. Nor can one make out anything of their structure(结构), of course. Only by using special colors, can one see that some bacteria have wavy-looking “hairs” called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella move round a central point, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can move along over surface by some little-understood “machinery”.
From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium, water is as thick as molasses(糖浆) is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are affected by the movements of the chemical molecules(分子) around them. Bacteria under microscopes, even those with no flagella, often jump up and down in the water. This is because they knock with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that.
47. What does the underlined word “magnified” mean?
________________________________________________________________
48. What is the smallest according to the passage?
________________________________________________________________
49. What is the relationship between a bacterium and its flagella is most nearly like?
________________________________________________________________
50. Why does the writer compare water to molasses in the third paragraph?

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
