She turned to her husband, （42） him awake and said, "Honey, let's go to the Poles!" Tina's （43） would not be their first adventure．Theyhad already climbed Mount Qomolangma． The pair soon made a （44） to visit both the North and South Poles on skis, travelling （45）． On February 2, 2002,they reached the South Pole．Their journey （46） 2,000 kilometres．After just 35 days of recovery and preparation, they （47） again．"You are so （48） after the long expedition to the South Pole, so you don't know if you could do （49） right away．"Oa May 29, after travelling for the whole morning, as the couple watched with weak （50）, the numbers on their GPS showed that their goal had （51） been achieved．They had made it．Without the （52） of dogs or supplies dropped from planes, it was only their strength and willpower that （53） them to ski and swim their way．They got valuable experience but that did not come without a （54）．If you go on an adventure, there's always the risk of something going wrong． （55）, you will learn from it．36．A．flying B．exploring C．swimming D．sailing37．A．frightened B．bored C．amazed D．amused38．A．shapes B．colors C．sounds D．waves39．A．remembered B．wondered C．enjoyed D．doubted40．A．carefully B．quickly C．aimlessly D．freely41．A．cold B．bright C．wonderful D．terrible42．A．shook B．knocked C．kept D．beat43．A．idea B．instruction C．order D．offer44．A．suggestion B．plan C．reservation D．change45．A．non-stop B．unsupported C．unreduced D．unprepared46．A．covered B．included C．lasted D．crossed47．A．broke down B．settled down C．set out D．came back48．A．excited B．．disappointed C．confused D．tired49．A．more B．another C．one D．others50．A．torchlight B．sunlight C．breath D．eyesight51．A．surprisingly B．luckily C．accidentally D．eventually52．A．reward B．burden C．aid D．friendship53．A．attracted B．allowed C．taught D．forced54．A．price B．success C．mistake D．change55．A．Therefore B．Instead C．Otherwise D．However第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AKids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start, their chores（杂事）,or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions．Before you know it, you've started to " sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the rubbish．Rather than saying "Do your chores now．" you'll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed．So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, "If chores aren't done by 4 pm, here are the consequences．" Then it's up to your child to complete the chores．Put the ball back in their court．Don't argue or fight with them, just say," That's the way it's going to be．" It shouldn't be punitive（征罚性的）as much as it should be persuasive．"If your chores aren't done by 4 pm, then no video game time until chores are done．And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that's going to be your loss．" On the Other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple．Have a time when homework Starts, and at that time , all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done．If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read．Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off．When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you're trying to talk to him, make no bones about it; he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you．At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears．Don't try to communicate with him when he's wearing headphones—even if he tells you he can hear you．Wearing them while you're talking to him is a sign of disrespect．Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing．Remember, respect becomes more important as children mature．56．According to the passage, it seldom happens that__． A．kids turn a deaf ear to their parents' requests B．parents' directions sound like a broken record C．children are ready to follow their parents' directions D．parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids57．Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they__． A．avoid direct ways of punishment B．make them do things at their request C．argue and fight with their children D．allow their children to behave in their own way58．It can be inferred from the passage that _____． A．parents should take．off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their child B．it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents C．parents shouldn't give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect D．kids' purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense ofpowel and control59．The main idea of the passage is___． A．that respecting each other is more important than anything else B．how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents C．that children should make choices and decisions on their own D．how parents can deal with their kids' behavior effectivelyBWhat would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first, sensible lesson is that you shouldn't bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay out until dawn．Because then you won't trip over things? No, mainly because you'll have an idea of direction．The sun rises in the east．But you will'be amazed at how many people forget they know that．Apparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter—they are thick, and evergreen．The next thing to do—or rather not to do—is panic, for the obvious reason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, it will get you nowhere．Just try to think of nice, happy things．There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in the desert or the snow, dehydrated （脱水的）and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked in a huge, round circle．It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths of your legs．Experiments prove that, without the sun or the moon（or landmarks） as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add up over time so the brain can't correctly identify the "straight ahead" direction．To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it．There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by far the best is to establish north using the stars．Most people can identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major．It looks a lot like a pan．The Plough rotates （旋转） through the sky, but let's imagine the pan lying horizontally, with its handle on the left．You need to trace a line from the star at the right-hand base of the pan through the star at the right-hand rim （边沿）, and follow it upwards; the North Star is roughly five times the distance between those two 'pointer" stars．Then drop a vertical line from the North Star to the horizon and that's north．"Tonight is very cloudy and I can't see the Plough．" Maybe luckily, it is quite windy．Keep in mind that almost all of our weather comes from a south-westernly direction．（This only works if you are in the British Isles．） To find．．the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there are clouds and patches ofclear sky, see which way they blow across the stars．You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants．If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east．If they are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, there's a good chance that it is south （they will be reaching towards the sun）．The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go．60．What might be the best title of the passage? A．What to do if you are lost B．How to protect yourself in the forest C．How to survive in the forest D．How to direct your way out of the wild61．Which of the following pictures matches the description of the position of the North Star? 62．Why will people often walk in a circle if they are lost in the desert or the snow? A．Because without anything to refer to for directions, the brain will be confused, by errors． B．Because one of the legs is longer and stronger than the other． C．Because the desert or the snow usually covers a large area for people to get across, D．Because people usually feel dehydrated and exhausted in the desert or the snow．63．If you were lost in the Talklimakan Desert in China, would NOT be dependable for you to identify the directions． A．the sun B．the North Star C．the moon D．the windCThe old man walked slowly into the restaurant．With head tilted, and shoulders bent forward he leaned on his trusty stick with each unhurried step．His torn cloth jacket, dirty trousers, worn out shoes, and warm personality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd．He stopped, turned with his whole body, and winked（ 眨眼） at a little girl seated by the door．She flashed a big smile right back at him．A young waitress named Mary watched him walk toward a table by the window．She ran over to him, and said, "Here, Sir．Let me give you a hand with that chair．" She pulled the chair away from the table．Steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated．Then she moved the table up close to him, and leaned his stick against the table where he could reach it． In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss, And bless you for your kind gestures．""You're welcome, Sir．" She replied．"And my name is Mary．I'll be back in a moment, and if you need anything at all in the mean time, just wave at me!"After he had finished a hearty meal．Mary brought him the change from his ticket．He left it on the table．She helped him and walked with him to the front door．Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us．Sir!" He turned and nodded a thank-you．"You are very kind．" he said softly, smiling．When Mary went to clean his table, she almost fainted （发晕 ） ．Under his plate she found a business card, and a note wrote on a napkin．Under the napkin was a one-hundred-dollar bill．The note on the napkin read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself too． It shows by the way you treat others．You have found the secret of happiness．Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you．"The man she had waited on was the owner of the restaurant where she worked．This was the first time that she, or any of his employees had ever seen him in person．64．The old man left $ 100 under the napkin because hs __． A．was grateful for Mary's help B．wanted to encourage Mary to do more good deeds C．appreciated Mary's kindness and work attitude D．thought highly of the tasty meal in the restaurant65．What do we know about Mary and the old man?

A．following the order of space B．following the order of events C．making comparisons D．providing examplesDThe Couch Surfing network is an online community stretching across the globe with over one and a half million members．The basic concept is to provide a platform for travelers to contact people who are willing to put them up free of charge．Travelers connect with potential hosts online and, if they like each other, exchange details to make farther arrangements．Basil is one traveler from Switzerland who is currently couch surfing with a Chinese host in Beijing．"I thought staying in hostel is nice but you mostly meet foreigners and speak English．If you use Couch Surfing you have chance to meet people living here and really get a chance to know the life of the place you visit．" Basil was speaking during a regular meeting of me Beijing network of Couch Surfing with a membership of almost 2,000．Although some people may have concerns about meeting complete strangers and giving them full access to your house, Beijing group member Fred Sharp from California says that the Couch Surfing community is one that generally attracts trustworthy people．"I have never had a problem with guests．I'd say that this Couch Surfing community worldwide is a fairly trustworthy community Like I say, always be cautious, make sure that you read everyone's profile that you're considering hosting, and if it doesn't feel right just say' no', it's ok．"Originally launched in the US as a non-profit organization in 2004, Couch Surfing is growing fast across the world．China is no exception with around 30,000 members and hundreds more signing up each week．One of them is Beijing resident Hai Yan who joined in November 2009．She says the first time she hosted a guest was a very positive experience．"My first guest was from Italy.
