Jenny was a pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl (珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. Her mother bought the necklace for her on condition that she had to do some housework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the
shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, could you give me your necklace?”
“Oh! Daddy, not my necklace!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay? ”
“Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny for the necklace after her favorite story. “Oh, Daddy, not my necklace! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite.”
“No, that’s okay,” her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams. ”
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, holding out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand.
With one hand her father held the plastic pearl necklace and with the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue box. Inside the box was a real, beautiful pearl necklace. He had had it all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap necklace so he could give her a real one.

The composing career (作曲生涯) of Albert Roussel got off to a changeable start, and received one of its biggest successes from a lie.
Roussel became an orphan (孤儿) at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano. Three years later Roussel’s grandfather died, and his mother's sister took him in. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside added a second love to his life — the sea. He studied to be a soldier in the navy, but still made time to study music.
In the French Navy, he and two friends found time to play the music of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first public appearance as a composer. That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to a famous conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
Not long afterward, at the age of 2S, Roussel did just that. He applied the qualities that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Edouard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel should devote his life to music, Roussel's naval friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel’s manuscript to the conductor.
25. What information can we get from the second paragraph?
A. Albert’s grandfather died when Albert was eight years old.
B. Albert's aunt arranged for him to take piano lessons.
C. Albert gave up studying music after he studied to be a soldier in the navy.
D. Albert came to love the sea after summer vacations at the seaside.
26. From the third paragraph we know that ______.
A. in the French Navy, Roussel and two friend began composing
B. Roussel’s first public appearance at the church was successful
C. Roussel's naval friend showed the wedding march to Edouard
D. Edouard Colonne advised Roussel to devote his life to music
27. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The composing career of Roussel started stably.
B. Roussel learned basic music knowledge from his aunt.
C. A white lie helped Roussel achieve success.
D. Roussel was cheated and hurt by his naval friend.
28. Who told a lie according to the text?
A. Roussel’s grandfather. B. Albert’s naval friend.
C. Roussel's aunt. D. Edouard Colonne.

China’s new term, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English
Dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary's editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words. “If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team.
In Chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s countryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhao gold.” The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words — dama and hukou — which may also make it into the dictionary.
People can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.
“We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary,” she said. Some of them are: Guanxi, which means “connection”; Taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.
The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months. “It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.
29. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Dama and hukou have made it into Oxford English dictionary.
B. Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC’s recent programs.
C. tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.
D. John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.
30. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Give orders to others. B. Get ready to help others.
C. Go on a diet. D. Put on weight.
31. Tuhao becomes more popular in September partly because ______.
A. it is very likely to appear in Oxford English Dictionary
B. it is often used by the online community
C. people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaning
D. Apple launched a new gold-colored iPhone
32. The main idea of the text is that ______.
A. tuhao may end up in Oxford English Dictionary
B. sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understood
C. tuhao has a new meaning at the present time
D. Oxford English Dictionary Includes new words faster than before

Pilling a cat can be a 'terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm (手掌) at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, Insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
33. Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.
A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B. may fight with all their strength against pills
C. refuse something pressed down their throats
D. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill
34. Which of the following statements is true according to the second paragraph?
A. Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B. Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C. The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.
D. Cats arc most likely interested in something new.
35. Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.
A. facing to the right B. with your right hand C. at the head D. on
your lap firmly

三、信息匹配（七选五.10’）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is good to make mistakes, and here's why.
__36___ It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve, how can you expand, and how can you innovate? The simple answer is “You can't”. ___37__ With very few exceptions, everything you see in your physical world is The result of someone trying something new. Every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. The chair you're sitting on; the fabric on the chair; the pattern on the fabric on the chair; the dye in the pattern on the fabric on the chair are all the direct result of someone trying something new.
___38__ Consider this: Edison failed l0 000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed t0 00~ times, but rather had learned I0 000
things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are that much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeed.
___39_
___40__ Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that, in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
There is an old axiom that goes, “if you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”
So go forth and make mistakes, and learn, and grow, and prosper.
A. Look around you.
B. First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.
C. Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.
D. Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning.
E. But this all doesn't mean that you should forge ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake.
F. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
G. Can you imagine how many mistakes were made before all of these
individual materials and components were perfected and then assembled into the automobiles we know today?

五、语法填空（15’）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（仅限一个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his 61 (puzzle), his three-year-old son was 62 (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as 63 (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
64 the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy 65 (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck.” Then he asked, “ 66 when are my fingers going to grow back?”
The father went home and committed suicide.
Think about this story 67 next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge. Think first 68 you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can 69 (repair). Broken bones and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is 70 (great) than revenge.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever.

In the countryside there are some children dropped out of school. The reasons of this are different. Some families are very poor to afford the education of their children. Some parents think useless for girls to attend school, so that their daughters lost the chance. Some children are unwilling to attend school for lack of interests in their studies. In my opinion, every child should have the chance to receive an education, whether boys and girls. Besides, the government should take effect measures to guarantee children’s right of education because we will play important roles in developing our country in the future.

作文
Recently, the “Building a green campus” program has been launched in our school, aiming at calling on us students to save energy and lead a low carbon life.
Right now wasting can be seen on campus. Some food is thrown away in the school canteen and plastic bags and disposable chopsticks are seen everywhere. Electricity and water is also being wasted in the dormitory.
It is everyone's responsibility to build a green campus. First of all, we'd better eat up what we buy. Secondly, we should resist disposable chopsticks. Besides, we should form the good habit of turning off the light and water tap when we don't use them.
If we change our way of life, we can build a green campus and make the earth a better place.
1. It was the first time Helen had understood such a complex word-a word for something she coudn’t touch..
2. He delayed telling her the news,waiting for the right moment.
