She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her “Tennessee Waltz” for example; it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.     Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program.     At age 20, Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including: “With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreaming,” and “Old Cape Cod”.    Her last hit was “Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte,” recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then, there was “Doggie In The Window.” The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.    Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program, “The Big Record.” The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, “The Patti Page Show.” She continued to record and perform into the 21st century, most recently releasing an album of songs for children, a Christmas record, and a new “best of” collection.     Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She co-starred with the Oscar-winning Burt Lancaster in “Elmer Gantry,” and also starred on stage in the musical play “Annie Get Your Gun.” 56. According to the passage, Patti Page ______.A. wanted to be a singer as a childB. was born in a small town in 1927C. was known mainly for her acting skills D. started his work as a TV program hostess57. According to the passage, which one of her following recorded songs was criticized?A. “Old Cape Cod.”B. “Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte.”C. “Doggie In The Window.”      D. “With My Eyes Wide Open, I’m Dreaming.”58.The “Tennessee Waltz” is mentioned in the passage in order to show that _____.    A. Patti Page was a beloved singerB. Patti Page’s songs were successfulC. Patti Page was the top-selling female artist    D. Patti Page was good at recording songs59. It is inferred from the passage that _______.A. Patti Page gave up singing in public in her late life    B. Patti Page’s gift in art began to be shown in her teensC. Patti Page’s great success was due to her hardworking and others’ helpD. Patti Page was not only a successful singer but also a successful actressB      How can you help kids cope with （对付）stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.    Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day -- especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions.  For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.    You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.    Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor （顾问）or other mental health experts.    Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.60. What is the purpose of the text?    A. To share the author’s ideas on proper parenting.    B. To persuade parents to spend more time with their kids.    C. To advise parents how to help their kids deal with stress.    D. To seek different ways to help solve kids’ problems.61.. Why do some parents feel it difficult to spare quality time for their kids?    A. Their kids are growing so fast.        B. They have too much housework.    C. Their kids are losing interest in them.   D. They are tired out after work.62. You are advised not to talk too much about a stressful situation in advance because ________.    A. it does no good to your kids          B. it doesn’t work in practice    C. your kids may not feel stressed        D. your kids don’t want to listen63.What can we learn from the text?    A. Normal people share the same feelings.    B. It is normal for kids to have some stress.    C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings.    D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.C    A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment?    As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.    Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic (有毒的) chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow.    Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.    "We've only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time," said one scientist.    As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly (经常地) throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them.Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists.    "The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you don't have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it," said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain. 64. After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone, ________.A. the sunflower seed will come out and flower wherever you throw itB. the phone cover will break down easily in the soil which you bury it inC. it will be recycled by the manufacturesD. it can recharge itself in an environmental friendly way65.. Which of the following is wrong about the cover of the new type of phone?A.It can provide useful fertilizer (肥料) for the sunflower seed after the mobile phone breaks down. B.It looks like normal plastics but it can break down.C.It can serve as the storage for the sunflower seed. D.It makes sure the seed only grows after the phone is thrown away.66. This type of research is done because ________.A.the technology that produces mobile phones is changing rapidlyB.consumers tend to throw away their mobile phones within two yearsC.nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phonesD.producing mobile phones uses a lot of energy, so this has become a very big problem for the environment67.We can infer from the story ________.A.the new type of mobile phone is already on the marketB.the new type of mobile phone will sell extremely wellC.recycling mobile phones is increasingly important to the environmentD.other flowers may be used in the new type of cell phoneD     A policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives． To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for5 seconds and then hides it．    “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"    The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well．．．uh．．．that's because the picture shows his profile．"    Slightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"    The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"    The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"    Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer．"    The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses．"    The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not． "Well, that's an interesting answer．．．wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that．" He leaves the room and goes to his ．office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face． "Wow!  I can't believe it．．．it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses． Good work! How were you able to make such an acute observation?"    "That's easy," the blonde replied． "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear．"68． Why did the policeman show a picture to the three blondes? A． To inquire about their relationship with the suspect． B． To test their potential of being detectives． C． To train them as qualified police officers．    D． To show the skills in recognizing a suspect．69. What's the policeman's attitude towards the first blonde's answer? A． Angry．      B． Puzzled．     C． Embarrassed． D． Satisfied．70. What did the second blonde think of the task? A． Demanding．    B． Easy．    C． Ridiculous．  D．Confusing．71． How did the third blonde know that the suspect wore contact lenses? A． By coincidence．             B． By random guess． C． By logical and reasonable analysis． D． By checking the file in the computer．E     There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.    People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.     Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 72. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things  C. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things73. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy people  B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons74. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______. A. prevent any communication with them  B. show no respect and politeness to them C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes75. In this passage, the writer mainly _______. A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD. tells people how to be happy in life  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  任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读的内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填写一个单词。    If I have to choose three critical factors in achieving success in my career, these would be my choices—belief, action and discipline. BeliefIn order to achieve success in your career, you have to first believe. You need to believe that you can achieve it. You need to have faith in your goals and your path to success. Once your mind is convinced that you can do it, everything is possible. Belief is the “mind and heart” part of the three critical success factors.ActionNothing moves until you do something. Believing alone is not going to achieve anything. It must be followed up with concrete action. Your plan for career success is nothing unless you act upon it wholeheartedly. When you act upon what you believe, there is focus. And there is energy. That energy propels (drives forward) you to greater heights. Action is the “hands and legs” part of the three critical success factors.DisciplineAction in itself is not enough to increase the chances of success. But disciplined action would do that. One of the main reasons why people fail is that there is no discipline in their action. They give themselves excuses when they cannot consistently go ahead with their plans. You need some form of sacrifice(牺牲)if you want to achieve success in your career. That sacrifice takes discipline. Discipline also ensures that you can be persistent(坚持的), especially when you're faced with challenges after challenges in your journey to success.

A. 推理判断题。根据第一段“She was one of the most beloved singers of the       post-war era. Take her “Tennessee Waltz” for example; it sold more than 10       million copies and was her biggest hit.”可知此处是举例说明她是美国战后      时期最受欢迎的女歌手之一，故选A项。59.

On the other hand, 45 percent of them hold the view that they should be in good health so that they can enjoy whatever they like. However, the rest 23 percent students believe that knowledge will bring them a bright future, and they feel happy. From the survey I know that different people value happiness in different ways and as for me, my happiness exists in my study.
