One month before my high-school graduation, my father died of a heart attack. My feelings ranged from grief to abandonment, fear and (21)___________ (overwhelm) anger that my dad was missing some of the most important events in my life.

The day before my father died, my mother and I (24)__________(go) shopping for a prom dress.

It wasn't just delivered, still in the box. It (27)________(present) to me ---- beautifully, artistically, lovely. I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother did.

Unlike most other forms of writing, poetry is often written in lines, rather than paragraphs. Poetry also sounds different from other forms of writing, often using rhythm and rhyme to create an interesting sound when read aloud. Poetry catches the attention of a reader because it 32 _ to both emotions and senses. Sound is 33 _________the single most important aspect of any poem. The sound that any poem. The sound that any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each 34_________ word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this 35_________ pattern,or “beat,” in the sounds. This is called meter. Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece. As far back as 700 BCE, poets there recited their work at public 36_________ and religious ceremonies, the great epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer came from Greece. The Greeks eventually 37_________ Roman poets, such as Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid 30 BCE. In medieval times, poems such as Beowulf, The Divine Comedy by Dante, and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer were written. Religion and romance became the 38_________ of choice for many poets at that time. Poetry 39_________ even more during the Renaissance period of history, an era of many great cultural achievements. This was the period during which Shakespeare, the most well-known poet, was making his mark! Needless to say, a trend had started. Poetry has continued to grow and change as a form of 40 expression in modem times, III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. When a human infant is born into any other community in any part of the world, it has two things in common with any infant, provided neither of them has been damaged in any way either before or during birth. Firstly, and most obviously, new born children are completely 41_________. Apart from a powerful capacity to draw attention on their helplessness by using sound, there is nothing the new born child can do to 42_________his own survival. Without 43_________ from some other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast with the 44_________ of many new born animals to get to their 45 within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours. Although young animals are certainly in 46_________ ,sometimes for weeks or even months after birth, compared with the human 47_________,they very quickly develop the capacity to 48_________themselves. It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totally 49_________on the others that it reveals the second feature which it 50_________with all other undamaged human infants, a capacity to learn 51_________. For this reason,biologists now suggest that language is “species specific” to the human race, that is to say, they consider the human infant to be genetically 52_________ in such a way that it can 53_________ language. This suggestion implies that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally and in color and just as they are designed to 54_________upright rather than to move on all fours, so they are designed to learn and use language as part of their normal 55_________ as well-formed human beings. 41. A. ignorant B. unknown C. inexperienced D. helpless 42. A. ensure B. gain C. emphasize D. solidify 43. A. notice B. affection C. care D. permission44. A. possibility B. capacity C. try D. attempt 45.

A. dependent B. concentrated C. focusing D. operating 50. A. combines B, shares C. carries D. brings 5L A. walking B, feeding C. language D, skill 52. A. programmed B, set C. arranged D. made 53. A. create B. distinguish C. enrich D. acquire 54. A. sit B. walk C. stand D. move 55, A, state B. development C. performance D. behavior Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A A knight(骑士)was a mounted warrior of medieval Europe who served a king or other feudal superior, usually in return for land. Knighthood was taken quite seriously and had to be earned. At about the age of eight, a boy would begin training in preparation for knighthood. This young trainee, known as a page (学习骑士),would train with mentors to learn about horses, armor, and weapons. Pages practiced fighting with a sword against a wooden stake and learned to skillfully use a bow and arrow. The lady of the castle taught a young page about manners and social graces, as well as how to sing, play instruments, and dance. A priest might give a page religious training and teach him to read and write. By the age of fourteen, the page would become a squire (骑士 的随从). A squire was responsible for dressing a knight for battles and tournaments and taking care of the knight^ armor and weapons. He would even follow his master on the battlefield to protect him if the knight fell. A squire had to gain skill in using a lance (长矛) , spear, or sword, so he would practice against a wooden dummy called a quintain(矛靶) The quintain and a shield were hung on a wooden pole, and when hit, the whole structure would spin. The squire would learn to ride up and hit the shield’s center, but then quickly move out of the way without getting hit and knocked off his horse by the quintain. At about age twenty, a squire was finally prepared to be called a knight, which involved an extended ceremony. On the evening before becoming a knight t the squire confessed his sins to a priest, was given a symbolic bath, and then fasted in order to cleanse his soul. The squire would dress all in white and stay in a chapel all night praying and watching over his weapons and armor. In the morning, the squire would dress in symbolically-colored clothing: red for his blood, white for purity, and brown for his return to the earth after death. At this ceremony, the knight wore a code of chivalry, which required him always to be brave, loyal, courteous, and to protect he defenseless. Knighthood was granted by the overlord (领主)and the new knight was tapped on the shoulders or neck with the flat side of the sword. If this new knight ever broke his promise or acted dishonorably, he would be stripped of his knighthood in another ceremony, in which he was 14 buried. In the Middle Ages, a knight without honor was considered as good as dead. 56. What were the responsibilities of a squire? A. Practicing fighting with a sword and using a bow and arrow skillfully. B. Looking after weapons and learning manners from the Lady of the castle. C. Confessing his sin and praying for his mentors. D. Dressing a knight for fighting and protecting him. 57. What does the underlined word “ chivalry” mean ? A. The noble spirit a knight possesses. B. The tough task a knight has to finish. C. The high goal a knight must achieve. D. The military discipline a knight should obey. 58. If a knight failed to keep his promise, what would happen? A. He would be sentenced to death. B. He would be robbed of his title. C. He would be forced to leave Court. D. His land would be returned to the King. 59. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Why people wanted to be knights. B. How one became a knight. C. When knighthood started. D. Who knights had to serve. B Modem technology allows scientists to look inside a living human brain to see what is happening. These procedures are safe and painless. By understanding the normal brain activity, doctors and scientists are better able to assess the brain^ behavior during times of injury, disease, and mental illness. CT or CAT scans : Computed tomography (CT) or computerized axial tomography (CAT) shows images of the brain by passing multiple X-ray beams through the brain tissue. CT or CAT scans show a cross-section of the brain. These scans can be used to find brain tumors. MRI scans : Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) uses powerful magnet to cause the atoms of the brain to shake, MRI sensors pick up the signals emitted ( Hi) from the brain5s atoms and a computer interprets them as a picture, MRIs show more detail than CT or CAT scans can. They are especially useful in finding brain tumors that grow on the back of the brain, between the ears. PET scans : Positron emission tomography ( PET) is different from other scans because it shows how the brain functions. After a person^ bloodstream is injected with a small dose of glucose (葡萄糖),which is what gives the brain energy, scanners around the head detect where the glucose moves. The PET scan shows which part of the brain uses a lot of glucose, which are the more active parts. PET scans are helpful for diagnosing strokes, studying mental illness, and learning how the brain processes language. 59. How can doctors and scientists understand the brain’s reaction to injury,disease, or mental illness? A. By contrasting/comparing it with normal brain activities. B. By passing the X-Ray beams through the brain tissue, C. By picking up the signals emitted from the brain^ atoms. D. By being injected with glucose and detecting where it moves. 60. Which of the following is helpful for diagnosing brain tumors? A, CT / CAT and PET. B. MRI and PET. C. CT/CAT and MRI. D. CT and CAT. 61. If a person suffers from defect in speaking, which scan will a doctor like to suggest? A. CT/CAT. B. MRI. C. PET. D. Any of them. C Innovation is key to business survival, and companies put substantial resources into inspiring employees to develop new ideas but not necessarily succeed. And there are those who don’t have a budget, or much space, but who innovate successfully. For Robert B. Cialdini, Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, one reason that companies don’t succeed as often as they should is that innovation starts with recruitment. Research shows that the fit between an employee’s values and a company’s values makes a difference to what contribution they make and whether, two years after they join, they're still at the company. One of the most famous photographs in the story of rock’n’roll emphasizes Cialdini’s views.The 1956 picture of singers Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis jamming at a piano in Sun Studios in Memphis tells a hidden story. Sun’s million-dollar quartet (四重唱)” could have been a quintet (五重唱).Missing from the picture is Roy Orbison, a greater natural singer. Sam Phillips, who owned Sun, wanted to revolutionize popular music. All of them except Orbison believed in it. Orbison wasn’t inspired by the goal,and only ever achieved one hit with the Sun label. Cialdini also believes that the “follow-the-leader syndrome” is dangerous, not least because it encourages bosses to go it alone. “It’s been scientifically proven that three people will be better than one at solving problems, even if that one person is the smartest person in the field. To prove his point, Cialdini cites an interview with molecular biologist James Watson. Watson, together with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA. “When asked how they had cracked the code ahead of other highly rival investigators, he said something that surprised me. He said he and Crick had succeeded because they were aware that they weren’t the most intelligent of the scientists pursuing the answer. The smartest scientist was called Rosalind Franklin who, Watson said,‘ was so intelligent that she rarely sought advice ’ Authority doesn't have to inhibit (抑制)innovation but it often does. Many theorist believe the ideal boss should lead from behind, taking pride in collective accomplishment and giving credit where it is due. Cialdini says,“ Leaders should encourage everyone to contribute and assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention, A manager who wants to create a truly innovative culture can make their job a lot easier by recognizing these psychological realities. 62. The example of the “million-dollar quartet” underlines the writer’s point about______________. A. recognizing talent B. working as a team C. having a shared objective D. being an effective leader 63. James Watson suggests that he and Francis Crick won the race to discover the DNA code because they______________ A. were conscious of their own limitations B. brought complementary skills to their partnership C. were determined to outperform their brighter rivals D. encouraged each other to realize their joint ambition 64. In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that it is important for employees to______________. A. be aware of their company’s goals B. have respect for their co-workers’ achievements C. understand why certain management decisions are made D. feel that their contributions are valued 65. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage? A. The key to becoming an innovative company. B. The psychology of innovation. C. The environment giving rise to Innovation. D. How to be an innovative company leader. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. It is you yourself not anybody else that can build up correct self-esteem. B. Let us try to look into some of the common and best practices which have been tried and tested to help boost self-esteem, C. More often times it will not, but don’t let that cloud your perception about yourself. D. Now that we’ve covered those aspects of self-esteem,let’s turn to some of the other factors that need to be considered. E. It will give you a regular motivation to work harder and better to improve yourself and develop your sense of maturity as a person. F. When your self-esteem is high, you are less likely to be affected by these situations. Many people go through life’s usual phases of ups and downs,which are common and normal stages in life, but when your self-esteem is low, you may need to know how to boost your self-esteem ,since it can lead to problems you may not have thought of. Self-esteem plays a key role in the maturity of a person, especially when trying to get away from a dangerous situation, going through a series of trials in life. (67)____________________________ Always compliment yourself daily, especially by trying to look for specific tasks you did well for that day and congratulate yourself for it. (68)____________________________ List down all things you are good at doing and achieving, be it a talent, skill, sport or building up other people. You can add more focus to these good points and fuel your passion to do better and make you not only understand yourself more, but also give you the true meaning and measurement of self worth and this is how you see yourself as important. Sometimes when you tend to see things in a different light or perspective from others, don’t focus too much on making sure that what you think will cause things to change. (69)____________________________ When you have good self-esteem you will realize that what you did was right and was made under your own food judgment, sound principles and concepts based on your personal outlook and attitude towards life. Do not let negative feedback affect you. Of course, one cannot help but feel bad about negative comments or reactions, but you have to consider that these are tests against your character and personality. (70) ____________________________ So try to look at yourself and see, and if you feel less important or are not satisfied with how you see and look at things, then think about ways on how to boost your self-esteem. You’ll thank yourself for it. IV.Summary Writing Directions : Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,’’ she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness. ” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point. Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.

What impressed me most are the two main characters in the film-Wallace and Bruce. No doubt Wallace is a hero that deserves our respect and admiration. He is a free fighter with a brave heart, fighting for nothing but freedom. Nothing could buy him off, wealth or title. Robert Bruce is also a man of integrity, who wants to fight like Wallace. However, he hesitates because he still values the title he has got and the crown he will get. This is his limitation, which makes him an ordinary man rather than a hero. Wallace dies in the film but in my eyes, he is still alive. Heroes never die. (142 words)
