A
For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then from across the street someone came walking.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest to the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly,but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house. She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.
She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing(楼梯平台). She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back;
10
but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.

A. a woman was driving the car B. someone was standing by a street lamp.
C. a man and a woman were walking up the street. D. a woman was walking by herself up the street.

Listening, really listening, can improve communication and build respect with others. Communication begins by listening and then suggesting that you hear what the person is saying.
This can be recognized by focus or eye contact, body language, and reflective listening.
Focus (Eye Contact)—Focus means that you are looking directly at the person speaking and not looking off to one side or continuing to do something else. You are focused on what is being said; the speaker is the center of attention. Listening attentively is essential for positive communication.
Listening Without Interrupting—Does your body acknowledge(承认) that you are listening? Use smiles, nods, and expressions of understanding to communicate to the speaker that you are listening. It is not necessary that you agree or disagree at this time. It is more important for the person speaking to know that his or her words are respected. This strengthens communication.
Reflective Listening—Reflective listening involves hearing the feelings and meanings of the speaker. It is a re-statement (in different words) of what the speaker said. You, in essence, mirror the words of the speaker and rephrase them back to the speaker, checking for accuracy(准确)of understanding. This process affirms the speaker, indicates a respect of the person, and shows that you understand the speaker’s message. Through careful reflection of the speaker’s words, you can make clear the message and build mutual(相互的) understanding. Through reflective listening and the careful exchange of words, we learn that other people have important feelings and opinions which we need to consider. Learning to understand the importance of all ideas, not just our own, can lead to successful resolution of problems and mutual respect.
68. The best way to build respect with others is _____.
A. to look directly at the person speaking B. to listen to the speaker attentively
C. to interrupt the speaker when necessary D. to use expressions of understanding
10
69. What strengthens communication with the person speaking?
A. Making him or her know that his or her words are respected.
B. Expressing agreement or disagreement in time when listening.
C. Repeating his or her words from time to time.
D. Listening instead of saying anything.
70. Reflective Listening is aimed to _____.
A. show you are not absent in mind B. make sure the speaker’s words are correct
C. checking for accuracy of understanding D. express your own ideas without delay

Quality afterschool programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes and other highrisk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.
The effect of quality afterschool programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame. Afterschool programs also influence highrisk teen behavior.Various studies show decreased rates of crime, drugtaking, and teen sex among youth who join in wellrun afterschool programs when compared to similar youth who do not. Finally, afterschool programs play an important role in supporting different kinds of fields of development: physical development, mental development and social development. Thus, one can safely say that afterschool programming is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that afterschool programs can make a positive difference, it is important to note that not all programs are equal. First, dosage matters — young people who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, afterschool programs make
10
a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices. Finally, program qualities matter. Afterschool programs work best when they create unique opportunities for youth. They should provide opportunities, skill building meaningful involvement, expression suggestion, service, and work. Staff characteristics make an important difference in the quality of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environment, encourage personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although afterschool programs have a promising future, how they are designed and run matters.

第一节 单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
.21.选C 句意:香格里拉真是一个美景,是许多罕见的鸟和动物的家园。beauty 可用作可数名词,意为“美丽的东西”,故第一个空填a;be home to为固定搭配,意为“是……的家园”。
22.选D 根据后句的谚语“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”,可见说话人想为竞赛早做准备,所以选D。in advance 意为“提前”。in return “作为回报”;in general “通常,总体”;in charge “负责,掌管”。
23选D 考查介词短语辨析。句意:在社交生活中,如
果我们想与他人和睦相处,就应该为他人着想——这一点很重要。live in harmony with 表示“与……和睦相处”。
24.选A 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,“________ topic they are discussing”是宾语从句,且根据句意可知,空处表示“无论什么”,故用whatever。no matter what不能引导名词性从句。
25.选A 句意:如果我不止买一个,你会给我打折吗?discount “折扣”,符合句意。change “零钱”;bargain “减价品”;compromise “妥协”。
26.选A 句意:附近的房屋几乎都被加油站爆炸的力量给震倒了。force 此处指“作用力,逼迫力”,符合句意。strength 指“人体的力量,力气”; energy“能量,能源,活力”;power“能力,权力”。
27选A 考查动词辨析。句意:“你怎么来得这么晚?”“半路上我突然想起把笔记本忘在家里了,只好去取。”It occurred to that ...“某人突然想到……”。
28.选D 考查分词作定语和表语。句意:从经理脸上困惑的表情,我明白他对我制定的计划感到很困惑,所以我不得不做一些修改。表情是“困惑的”,他感到“困惑”,两个空都应填 v.ed 形式,故选D。
29.选A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:这个年轻人很高兴他在部队当厨师的经历最终使他取得了成功。pay off “取得成功,奏效”;pay for “付款,偿还”;pay up “付清全部欠款”;pay back “偿还,报复”。
30.选B 考查连词。句意:尽管在下大雨,这些男孩子还在球场上开心地打篮球。in case “以免,以防,万一”;even though “尽管,即使”;as if “似乎,好像”;as long as “只要”。
31.选D 句意:每次到家,她总是先打开电视,除非时间很晚了。every time“每次”,可以引导时间状语从句。其他选项不符合句意。
32.选C 考查动词用法。deserve to be given意为“值得被给予”,to be given在此为不定式的被动语态。
33.选A 考查insist,suggest的用法。句意:老人坚持说那个男孩不是贼,建议放了他。句中insist意为“坚持说”,故第一个空不用虚拟语气;suggest意为“建议”,故其后的宾语从句用虚拟语气,谓语动词用should do, should可省略。
34.选B 句意:毫无疑问中国将致力于帮助其他发展中国家,尤其是非洲国家。devote oneself to (doing) sth.“致力于做某事”。
35.选B 考查交际用语。句意:“对不起,我不是本地人。”“但还是要谢谢你。”故选B项。

书面表达(15’)
A habit is something that you do often or regularly almost without thinking, especially something that is hard to stop doing.
We should develop good habits of learning. For example, we should concentrate our attention in class, which will help us better understand what teachers say. Also, we are supposed to make the best of the time for independent study, which can improve our ability to learn by ourselves. Finally, we are encouraged to finish homework alone.
At the same time, good habits of living are also good for our life. Healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably the only way to become fit. What is more, a good amount of sleep every night is also important for our health, for it makes us feel energetic and well prepared for the day to come.
Good habits have a positive effect on our life. Once a good habit is formed, it will give us power to control ourselves and get rid of bad habits. If we insist on behaving ourselves properly, we are sure to live a successful life.
