五.阅读理解(30分) A People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we should not forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too. I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral（葬礼） which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana. “She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.” Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.” There are no hearts as sensitive（敏感的） as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.66. According to the paragraph, what does “light” stand for? A. not heavy B. the positive side of things C. a device for lighting or igniting fuel or charges or fires D. having a relatively small amount of coloring agent67. From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ______. A. was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa B. liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her C. could see everything around her though she was old D. had great influence over the boy when she was alive68. We can infer from the passage that the boy ______. A. was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk B. was always very good at expressing himself C. practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech D. had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana69. The writer wanted to tell the readers ______. A. the young people were too weak to face certain facts B. the young people have learned to control themselves C. the adults could learn something valuable from the young D. the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death B Just before dawn, there was further trouble.

A Dangerous Flight from North America to England C Theodore，the manager of the Paradise Hotel，told a middle-aged couple that they would have to leave the hotel after just one night．The couple，visiting from Texas，had booked a room for eight nights． “They wanted a sterile (消毒了的) environment，”Theodore said，“They should have rented a room in a hospital，maybe an operating room．This hotel is clean，hut it isn't that clean．” Theodore said that，on the very first day，the couple brought all the sheets，pilloweases，and bedspreads down to the main hall and just dropped them next to the front desk．They stood there next to this pile of bedding while other guests looked，pointed，and murmured．The hotel got three cancellations within the hour from people who witnessed this strange event． When Theodore asked the couple what the problem was，they said that their bedding was filthy and they wanted it replaced．The couple could not identify any specific“filth”on the bedding．The wife just said，“We’re paying good money to stay here．How dare you doubt us？We know the filth is there．That's all the proof you need，”Theodore called room service，and the bedding was replaced immediately． Early the next evening，however，the couple marched to the front desk again and demanded seven cans of sterilizer，“We need a can for each night．We have to spray the phone，the TV，all the door handles，the toilet handle，the shower stall，the faucet，the sink，and any hotel staff entering our room．” Worried，Theodore politely suggested that a hotel more suitable for them was just around the corner．He then called ahead to reserve a“very clean”room，and gave them free transportation in the hotel Rolls-Royce．Also，he told the couple that they wouldn’t he charged for the second day． The couple were surprised but they really liked the idea of free room for a night and that expensive car service．74．The underlined word“filthy”means in this article． A．clean B．dirty C．smelly D．old75．Why was Theodore worried? A．The couple might have more demands the following days． B．The hotel was not clean enough． C．The hotel would run out of cleaning stuff． D．More guests would make the same requests．76．What word could best describe the couple?

B．Expensive C．Particular D．Easy-going D Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world’s largest automaker wasn’t leaving his problems behind． Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost to Toyota’s reputation is only now starting． Despite back-to-back hearings this week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed． Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle’s electronic systems． Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油门踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(刹车).Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company’s founder． The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota’s recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model． Toyota has recalled 8．5 million cars，more than 6 million of them in the United States．It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars.Toyota’s January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year’s bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30 percent to 40．Toyota’s sales problem could continue beyond that．It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．77.The best title for this passage is ． A.Toyota is in trouble B.Toyota is under hearing C.Toyota is finished D.Toyota is still running78.What can we infer from the passage? A.Toyota provides very good post sale service． B.Toyota’s biggest market is in the United States． C.Toyota will be closed soon． D.Toyota’s dealership in the US will all be closed．79.Why does Toyota recall cars and offer customers money back for rental cars and other expenses? A.It tries to avoid the maximum damages to the company． B.It is big company and has means to fix every problem． C.It’s part of post service． D.It’s a way to compete in auto market．80．The last sentence of this passage indicates . A.Analyst Koji Endo is fully confident about Toyota B.Toyota could meet a worse situation C.Toyota would get out of trouble sooner or later D.Toyota would build up a better reputation among its customers
六.任务型读写（10分） You have probably heard it before，most likely from your English teacher.If you want to become a good writer，read good writing.Unfortunately，you may not have understood what was beneficial to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience. As you start reading a book，essay，poem，or story，do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing.Simply read for pleasure to begin with，or to learn.As you progress through the work，think about whether or not it is “easy” reading.Do you become so involved in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget a person composed it，or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected？These latter situations are an opportunity to learn from the writer's mistakes.In fact，the reader should not have to worry about how an author does “his thing”．..he should be able to just enjoy and learn.Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen，stop to consider why it has this effect.Also，do not spend a lot of time analyzing the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole. Another thing I do，particularly with nonfiction books，is to select a chapter or section to read as if it is a completely separate work.Once again，read as a common consumer rather than a critic.For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level，however，nothing is more suitable than reading poetry.A poet is often attempting to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into a handful of lines，and every side of the work reflects a very close attention to craft. As you can see，there is no one single way of reading to improve your writing.The key is not to make it boring.Select authors you admire or like most，and enjoy their works as anyone else would.As long as you are reading，you are improving yourself as a writer.Title Improve your writing by readingFact Reading good writing __81__ you become a good writer.You don't understand the __82__of reading and what to get from reading.Measures Read for __83__ or to learn.1）Develop a great __84__ in the subject and flow of the writing.2)Learn from the writer's __85__ if possible.3）__86__shouldn't be spent in analyzing the passage but in enjoying the passage from the whole. Read as a common consumer rather than a critic.Read __87__ and enjoy the lines.Conclusions Don't make yourself __88__ with reading.Select your __89__ authors and enjoy their works.You are sure to make __90__ during reading.
