Dear Dad,
On this date of your 50th birthday, Mom gave me the letter you wrote me when I was born 18
years ago. In your letter, you 1 (wish) me to be strong-minded and successful. You were
looking forward to seeing me fight for my future bravely and do well for 2 and others.
After reading this letter, I feel quite shocked at your expectation 3 me. I also feel shamed
for 4 (not perform) well to meet your demand. I still remember when I was in primary
school, I failed 5 (apply) myself to studying. I was addicted to computer games. As a
consequence, I soon became the last one in my class. You didn’t abuse me at all. On the
contrary, you taught me that studying was the most important object at the moment 6____
encouraged me to study hard. Only 7 I have read your letter did I realize that I behaved
so 8 (bad) at that time and you were so sad to see I didn’t do well for myself.
I can’t help expressing my 9 and sending my best wishes to you. Wish you healthy
and happy. I promise that I will spare no effort to satisfy 10 demand of being a brave and
successful person.

Have you ever experienced a fire? I have. It was quite a 1 (terrify) experience.
I was staying in a small hotel when I traveled to Germany last November. It was an old hotel
2_(build) of wood in the nineteenth century. And it kept a special custom of using wood 3 fire
in the kitchen and the guest rooms. The manger believed that this would attract
more people 4 like the old days.
Now one evening, when I was busy with nothing, I suddenly grew very interested in the fire. I
picked up one piece of 5 (burn) wood and carried it to the window to check 6 I could
see the things outside in its light. When I opened the window, 7 , the wind blew in and the
curtain caught fire. I was so afraid 8 I dropped the wood on the floor. This made the matter
9 (bad) . The fire soon spread to the whole room. As I said, the hotel was built of wood. I
rushed out of the room and cried for help. 10 (Fortunate), the manager was in the hotel at
that moment and he soon organized a large army of people, who put out the fire in fifteen minutes.
I have never dared to play with fire from then on.

In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in
recent years. 1 (Sad), not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich
countries are 2 (home).
The reasons 3 homelessness are various, but 4 (poor) is undoubtedly one of the
main causes. The homeless people may have become 5 (job) and then been unable to pay
their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact 6 unemployed
people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.
Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young
people 7 , for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of
them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, 8 (choose) to go
to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been
unable to get with a step-parent.
Many homeless people get into 9 habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but
many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the
police, being accused, whether rightly or wrongly , of forceful begging. There are many who
disrespect homeless people.
Some cynics(愤世嫉俗的人) declare that homeless people choose to live the life 10
they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a
cardboard box?

Plugging One''s Ears While Stealing a Bell
During the Spring and Autumn period, a man went to Fan''s house and tried to steal
something. As soon as the man entered the gate, he saw that there hung a big bell in the courtyard.
The bell was cast in high-quality bronze, and was beautiful 31 design and shape. 32 theif
was very glad, and decided to carry this beautiful bell back home. But no matter how hard he tried,
he could not move the bell, 33 the bell was both big and heavy. He thought and thought again,
and believed there was only one way to solve the problem. He had to break the bell to pieces
before he was able to carry them back to his home 34 (separate). The thief found a big iron
hammer, with 35 he struck the bell with all his might. The striking produced an enormous
crashing sound, which made the thief terribly frightened.The thief got flurried, 36__ (think) that it
was too bad to have produced the crashing sound. 37 how could the crashing sound of the bell
be muffled? He got some odd bits of cloth, 38 (make)two rolls with them, and had his ears
plugged with the two cloth rolls. He thought that in this way nobody could hear the sound of the
bell. Feeling 39 (relief), he began striking the bell, one blow after another. The resounding
sound of the bell was heard at distant places, and finally people caught the thief by gracing the
sound. Later, people have used the set phrase plugging one's ears while stealing a bell to refer to
the ignorance and 40 (foolish) of the person who deceives himself as well as others.

There are public companies and private companies in the US. Many people want to know
31 is the difference between a public company and a private one. In the United States, almost
32 companies are private in the sense 33 they are not government- owned. A “public
company” in America is a company that 34 _ (sell) shares of ownership to the public on a
stock exchange.
Public companies must meet special roles. Most notably, they must report 35 financial
information to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The government says these rules help
protect shareholders (股东). “Private” companies do not sell shares to the public 36 they 37
(not require) to tell the federal government about their finances 38 ownership. Private
companies come 39 all sizes, from small to huge. Cargill, 40 family-owned agriculture
business, tops the Forbes magazine list of the largest private companies in America.

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his
new truck. To his 31 (puzzle), his three-year-old son was 32 (happy) hammering
dents( 凹 痕 ) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away,

fingers . 34 both the boy's hands. When the boy 35 (wake) up from the operation and saw
his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck.” Then he asked,
“ 36 when are my fingers going to grow back?”
The father went home and committed suicide.

revenge. Think first 38 you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can 39

become more confident. If we do not try again, 36 lessons we have learned will 37

One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was

“There are only two 2 ,” says a proverb, “ Who can surmount the pyramids – the eagle and the

The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear
grown-up people say, “ I could not pay attention to the book, although I wished to do so”. The
reason is that the habit was not 5 in youth.
If I were to 6 my life again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.
It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately, but memory soon helps 7 , and
gives very little trouble. It only needs early 8 to become a power.
If I were a boy over again, I’d cultivate courage. Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage;
nothing is so cruel and pitiless as cowardice. Life is very much like a 9 ; if you smile upon it, it
smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a 10 look in

Why do we want theatre? How is theatre related to other 21 activities such as religion,
myth, ceremony and magic? How is it that we can accept as real the people on the stage who are
22 to be someone else in a different time and place?
Theatre and religion make less clear the lines between what is 23 and what is imagined
with their unreal sets, music, costumes and languages. A good play attracts us intellectually and
24 by the conflicts among the characters. In this case, we enter a reality that has been created to
25 and educate us. Theater has its own distinctive conventions ( 表 现 手 法 ) which are the
established patterns of each style, e.g., we know that in a 26 no matter how many turns and
twists occur in the action, the 27 will be a happy one; in a tragedy we know that the main
character’s fatal weakness will undo him or her and all will end very 28 ; in a melodrama (情
节 剧 ) we know that certain characters will be either good or 29 and will behave in
predictable ways.
Theatre is basic to all cultures and it must be cultivated by new plays and new views of
universal human problems written and 30 with honesty.

well as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross country team. Every day he 5 with the
team. He ran more than any of the others. Perhaps he sensed that the 6 that seemed to come
naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the
top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably
would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
He continued to run four to five miles a day, even the day he had a 103 degree fever. I was 7 ,
so I went to look for him after school. I found him 8 _all alone. The sweat ran down his face
and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were 9 . Joey was number six on the list.
Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade and the other six team members were all eighth
graders. We never told him he shouldn’t 10 to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t
do it...so he didn’t know. He just did it.

After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an
experienced 1 for a few days, I was allowed to wait tables on my own. All went 2 that
first week. When Saturday night came, I was luckily given the tables not far from the kitchen.
However , I still felt a little hard to carry the heavy trays (托盘)。
Before I knew it, the restaurant was full of people. I moved slowly, 3 every step. I
remember how happy I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables, it looked different from the
one I was 4 on. It had nice handles (手柄),which made it easier to move around. I was
pleased with everything and began to believe I was a natural at this job.
Then, an old man came to me and said, “Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved _5 you work.
It seems your tray stand has been very 6 to you, but we are getting ready to leave now, and my
wife needs her walker back.”
At first his 7 did not get across. “What was he talking about!” Then I got it. I had set my
trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker (助步器). I stood frozen as ice, but my face was on fire. I
wanted to get into a hole and 8 .

Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is 21

wanted to 26 it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In
Denmark, Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at
weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children

Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In their 21
conversation, each eyes contact (接触) lasts only about a second before one or both persons look
away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s 22 , emotions are heightened
and the relationship becomes more intimate(亲密).Therefore, they carefully avoid this, except in
proper occasions.
Proper street behaviors in the United States require a nice 23 of attention and
inattention. You are 24 to look at a passer-by just enough to show that you’re aware of his
presence. If you look too little, you appear too proud; if you look too much, you are too curious.
Usually what happens is that people watch each other until they are about eight 25 apart, at
which point both can cast down their eyes. In England the polite listener stares at the speaker
attentively and blinks(眨眼) his eyes occasionally as a sign of 26 . That eye-blink says
nothing to Americans, who expect the listener to nod or to 27 something-such as
“mm-hum.”
Americans living abroad sometimes find local 28 hard to understand. Such
complaints(抱怨) can often be heard “ People there were disturbing. They stared right at me on
the street. They looked me 29 . I kept wondering whether I was 30 or not.” They don’t
know that people in some places think nothing of staring at others on the street.

For years we have been told that encouraging a child’s self-respect is important to his or her
success in life.But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite
effect.Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of
approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.
The implication (含义) of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class,” or talking about the goals
she scored but not her overall effort, is that you love her only when she looks the best, scores the
highest, achieves the most.And this carries over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carrol Dweck, PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders
while she was at Columbia University.She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on
tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”.
“Praising attributes (品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you
because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges,”
says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They figure they’d better quit while they’re ahead.”
41.The underlined words “Praise-aholic kids” refers to kids who are ______.
A.very proud of being praised B.worthy of being praised
C.extremely fond of being praised D.tired of being praised
42.The author quoted (引用) Dr.Dweck’s words in the last paragraph in order to make the article
_____.
A.better-known B.better-organized C.more persuasive D.more interesting
43.We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.praise for efforts should be more encouraged
B.praise for results works better than praise for efforts
C.praising a child’s achievements benefits his or her success in life
D.praising a child’s abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges

Dear Hamilton,
We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are
one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know
anyone
in the office who is better liked than you.
You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’
personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is
reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby
shower gifts,one wedding showergift,twowedding gifts, one funeral remembrance, four
birthdaygifts,and.three graduation gifts.It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfor
table (and poor), but the collected-forfeel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know the
m outside the office, whowouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying
daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.
This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for),but the practice
seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.
Thank you for understanding.

As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time
address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home,
his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It’s
similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on
the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in
the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring( 探索).
Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about
explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something
usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs,
picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in
which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny
to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There
were four or five trees that we visited regularly----tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to
sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then
some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In
March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out
to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same
time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on
Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
47. The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _______.
A. play golf and other sports B. spend their free time
C. avoid doing their schoolwork D. keep away from their parents
48. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. The activities in the woods were well planned.
B. Human history is not the result of exploration.
C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
49. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. calm B. serious C. doubtful D. optimistic
50. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. Happy but short. B. Lonely but memorable.
C. Boring and meaningless. D. Long and unforgettable.

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the
same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is
always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in
the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the
better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making
him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that
children who had read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As
to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story.
Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having never heard the story. Familiarity with the
story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively
true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of
being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by
studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to
argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly
from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it
was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever
believed that it was.
41. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
A. made some changes by the parent B. treated as a joke
C. repeated without any change D. set in the present
42. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.
A. in a realistic setting B. repeated too often
C. heard for the first time D. told in a different way
43. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
A. develops their power of memory B. makes them less fearful
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
44. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.
A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
45. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they are just made-up stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of
their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate ( 照 亮 )
me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to
share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studie
s when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We
said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and
paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly
together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read
them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the
stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair and I was in despair. But
our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not
explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks
and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.
We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We
write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes
in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of
the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have
never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth
more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist,who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)
silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
46. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to
______.
A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend’s house regularly
C. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend

48. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.
A. call each other regularly B. have similar personalities
C. enjoy writing to each other D. dream of meeting each other
49. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.
A. seek professional help B. be left alone
C. stay with her best friend D. break the silence

After visiting a Harlingen tower block, the Metropolitan Police commissioner Ian Blair
claimed that people now feel as safe as they did 25 years ago.
Do you agree with Sir Ian’s rosy view of society?
Do you feel safe enough to leave your doors unlocked where you live?
(Posted by David Llewellyn on August 21,2006 12:17 P.M.)
I lived in Devon for three years, and can honestly say that in the village where I lived it was
safe to leave the front door unlocked. But a London district? What planet is Ian Blair on? What
decade is he in?
I’m not one of these people who think that Britain is slipping into a deep hole, but I am
realistic enough to understand that wherever you find a large population you will find crime.
The idea that we can measure society’s downfall by how safe it is to leave the door unlocked is
misleading, anyhow. It’s a little like the recent announcement that street crime has increased in
recent years. Yes, it has, but the majority of people now walk around with half a branch of
Dixon’s in their pockets-mobile phones, i-Pods. Of course, street crime is going to increase.
Funnily enough, there was hardly any car theft in the 19th century!!!
The same goes for houses. A hundred years ago your house may have contained a little
jewelry, some furniture, and some small cash in a biscuit tin. Now even working class households
are equipped with computers, DVD players, wide-screen televisions-all of which can be carried
out in a matter of minutes.
I’m not speaking for the scum(渣滓)who choose to break into people’s houses and rob them
of their hard-earned belongings, but it does put things into context.
Yes, we have to lock our front doors, and yes, it is a shame that we can’t trust everyone, but if
we’re honest with ourselves, those of us living in cities never could trust absolutely everyone.
51. There was hardly any car theft in the 19th century because_______.
A. there were hardly any thieves in the 19th century
B. there were hardly any cars in the 19th century
C. street crime was rarely seen in the 19th century
D. proper security measures were taken in the 19th century
52. What is David Llewellyn’s opinion about the topic?
A. Lock the back door. B. Never trust everyone.
C. Leave the door unlocked. D. Be realistic.
53. The underlined word “it” refers to_________.
A. street crime B. the recent announcement
C. leaving the door unlocked D. society’s downfall
54. According to David Llewellyn, _________.
A. to lock the door or not is related to the times and places
B. to lock the door or not is a measure to the level of safety of the society
C. to leave the door unlocked will lead you nowhere
D. to lock the door means trusting nobody

Kids in a Sudanese refugee (难民) camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football.
NBA superstar Tracy McGrady watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass
pitch for $1,000.
Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil. Or maybe he just wants to do
something – anything – to give these children some hope. But he is told, politely, that grass is not
what the kids need.
This scene appears in 3 Point, a new documentary which shows the Houston Rockets star
coming face-to-face with the reality that life is more than sport.
McGrady, 29, writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only
reading about it in the news. “Who were the faces behind the statistics?” he said. “I needed to see
it for myself.”
And he did. He stepped out of his mansion (公馆) and flew to a place literally torn to bits by
war and famine (饥荒). He slept in a tent. He dodged (躲开) minefields. He talked with people
who have been tortured. And he swallowed his pride.
But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a patch of grass. Sport gave
him a chance, so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.
McGrady was eyed by NBA scouts as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college. Instead,
he leaped right into the NBA. Since that move, basketball has given him a handsome living, but
one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people. As McGrady would learn in Africa, most
people see sport as just a break from life’s difficulties. They don’t mistake it for life itself.
Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him, but I’d bet that, at the very least, it
has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.
McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring. He hasn’t risen to the heights of a Kobe
Bryant or a Michael Jordan. But, perhaps, now he knows he doesn’t have to in order to truly make
a difference in the world.
41. The refugee children probably need _____ most.
A. clean drinking water B. a grass football pitch
C. necessities of survival D. a tent to sleep in
42. What can we know about McGrady from the passage?
A. His life centered on basketball before he visited Africa.
B. He is an NBA superstar as great as Kobe or Jordan.
C. He didn’t show his talent for basketball as a teenager.
D. He taught children to play football in a refugee camp.
43. What does the underlined word "removed" probably mean?
A. different B. dismissed C. moved D. taken away
44. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. McGrady wanted to buy kids a grass pitch because he spotted a football genius among them.
B. McGrady left his comfortable life behind to visit Africa because he wanted to meet fact to
face with the people.
C. McGrady was blamed for ignoring the kids’ real needs by offering something unnecessary.
D. McGrady’s future aim will be nothing but compete for an NBA Championship ring.
45. McGrady learned from his visit to Africa that ______.
A. he needn’t improve his basketball skills to reach the heights of his seniors
B. sport gave him a chance and means everything to him
C. people in hunger can never understand the importance of sport
D. What’s truly meaningful can be a world of difference to different people

There was a rich merchant who had four wives. He took great care of the 4th wife and gave her
nothing but the best .He was proud of the 3rd wife, but he was always in great fear that she might
run away with some other men. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, his 2nd wife would
always help him out. He loved them three very much. His 1st wife was a very loyal partner and

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has
something positive to say. He was a natural motivator. He told people how to look on the positive
side of the situation.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, "How can you be a positive person all of the
time?"
Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today.
You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in
a good mood."
"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. The
bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a
communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released from the hospital. I saw Michael about six months after the accident.
Michael told me, "When they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces
of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I
needed to take action."
" There was a big burly(魁伟的) nurse shouting questions at me.”
"She asked if I was allergic(过敏的) to anything.”
“'Yes’, I replied.'”
“The doctors and nurses stopped to wait for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled,
'Gravity'."
“Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not
dead!’"
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I
learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
LIVE IS ABOUT THE LITTLE CHOICES WE MAKE EVERY DAY
51. What does it mean “In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'”?

D. In the doctors’ eyes all the patients in danger are going to die.
52. What was the real reason why Michael said that he was allergic to gravity?
A. Falling down from the high place made him become afraid of gravity since then.
B. He was allergic to nothing so he decided to make people laugh at his answer.
C. He used humour to show his determination to live and cheer up the medical staff.
D. It is gravity that caused the accident from the aspect of physics.
53. Michael survived at last due to ____________.
A. the fact that the injuries he received were not deadly.
B. the doctors’ skill and his positive attitude.
C. his good luck and his right choice.

What is a creepy crawly?
A few years ago, I was on a bicycle trip when I got off my bike for a rest. I sat down on the
grass. A few seconds later, I was covered in ants. They were swarming all over me so I got up and
brushed them off. It was a strange experience but I soon forgot about it.
A couple of years later, I was living in Jordan. I had just moved into a modern flat and was
unpacking plates when I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I looked over at the
kitchen drawer and there was a cockroach crawling out of it. I screamed. Then I grabbed a can of
insecticide and sprayed it on the cockroach. He ran under the nearby bathroom door. It took me
three days before I found the courage to open the bathroom door to see if he was still alive. He
wasn’t.
Why did I react so violently to one lone insect when a closer encounter with hundreds of ants
hardly affected me? The answer is easy: because cockroaches are creepy crawlies and ants aren’t.
Creepy crawlies are those little bugs which provoke feelings such as uneasiness, anxiety or dislike
– they make your skin crawl.
Did you know that some people feel such a fear of bugs that it becomes a phobia?
Psychologists have offered many explanations. Some say we associate them with dirt and disease.
Or that these are life forms that are so alien to us, that we find them repulsive(令人厌恶的) for
their dissimilarity.
Insects, however, don’t follow our rules – they just do what they want and invade our space.
Unfortunately, although insects and bugs have been a successful animal species up to now, many
of them, like many other species nowadays, are under threat of extinction. Entomologists warn
that this could upset entire ecosystems and lead to all kinds of disastrous consequences.
So my plea to you is: the next time you feel the urge to stamp on, splatter or spray a creepy crawly,
give a thought to the planet and stop.
41. Why did the author mention the ants in the beginning?
A. Because the experience with the ants presents a sharp contrast to that with the cockroach
later.
B. Because the author wants to show her preference to the ants and her dislike for the
cockroach.
C. Because both ants and cockroaches are creepy crawlies that the author dislikes.
D. Because meeting the ants is an unusual experience that the author can hardly forget.
42. What does “insecticide” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. a kind of fruit juice.
B. a kitchen knife.
C. liquid for killing insects.
D. cleanser for the bathroom.
43. How does the author feel about the bugs like cockroaches?
A. The author doesn’t mind the contact with those harmless small creatures.
B. They make the author feel so awful that they should be killed.
C. They invade our space and become a threat to humans.
D. They still deserve a place for keeping the balance of the nature.
44. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the cockroach makes the author’s skin crawl?
A. It looks so strange and different that the author can’t accept its appearance.
B. It can make the author feel sick and cause a strong dislike.
C. The author may relate it to something dirty or disease at the sight of it.
D. It reminds the author of the experience of meeting hundreds of ants.
45. Which of the following statements about bugs is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Some people may be frightened so much by bugs that it leads to a psychological barrier in
some degree.
B. People can enjoy a cleaner living environment if more bugs like cockroaches are killed.
C. Many bugs are in danger of extinction so they should be placed under human’s protection.
D. Some bugs are extremely unpleasant that people have a strong wish to destroy them.

Brian knew he had been drinking more and more, but he was convinced that he'd return to
more moderate drinking when he wasn't so pressured at work, and that "a few too many drinks
now and then" wasn't a major problem.
"My wife and father were on me to stop drinking, but you know how critical and protective
family can be," said Brian. "So I blew them off."
It wasn't until his friend Jack spoke up that Brian started to think differently. "That really hit
home, because I wouldn't expect a friend to confront me with something that personal unless it
was very important," said Brian. "Jack said he was really concerned about me. He pointed out that
my personality changed after I had a few beers--that I became belligerent(寻衅的). For a normally
easy-going guy, that was a dramatic change in behavior."
Jack could see that Brian's numerous drinking binges(放纵) were causing problems. Brian was
frequently calling into work sick and falling behind in his work, and his marriage was seriously on
the ropes. Brian was teetering(摇摇欲坠) on the edge of disaster. "I didn't want to see a good life
and a good friendship ruined," said Jack, "so I approached Brian, shared my honest observations
with him, and suggested that he seek help."
After a couple days of soul searching, though still reluctant, Brian took Jack's suggestion and
was assessed by an addiction professional. The expert recommended that Brian check into a
treatment center, and one day later Brian did so.
Many people fear taking the path that Jack took. Speaking up to a friend who may have a
problem with alcohol or other drugs can be a tricky undertaking.
Yet it's true that a concerned friend can do a lot. Most people don't recognize they have a
substance abuse problem and most don't seek help for a problem until someone close to them
intervenes(干预).
46. What happened to Brian according to the passage?
A.He suffered from an illness called alcohol addiction.
B.He changed so much that he was deserted by his family.
C.He became morally corrupted drinking too much all day.
D.He drank a little more than normal to escape the pressure.
47. What does “that” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
A. Brian’s drinking binges. B. Jack’s talk with Brian.
C. Wife and father’s intervention. D. Brian’s different thoughts.
48. Brian could accept Jack’s suggestions mainly because ____________.
A. he found his friend was very critical and protective
B. Jack’s suggestions were professional and persuasive
C. Jack and Brian’s family had different opinions
D. he knew his friend wouldn’t easily intervene his personal affair
49. Brian’s alcohol abuse brought him many problems EXCEPT ____________.
A. his refusal to listen to his family B. his bad temper and aggressiveness
C. his failure to do his work well D. his marriage problems
50. The writer narrates Brian’s story in order to ____________.
A.tell us the bad results of alcohol addiction B.warn us not to fall into the habit of drinking
C.show friends have real power to intervene D.prove a friend in need is a friend indeed
(答案 46---50 A B D A C)

Yesterday the Guardian published an article based on a survey that claimed that more than
nine out of 10 white Britons have no or hardly any ethnic minority friends. What exactly were
readers meant to do with this information? Were they meant to feel guilty and go out and befriend
more black people? So successful was the article in inducing(促成) guilt that for a minute or two
even I felt guilty. It is hilarious(非常滑稽的) because I'm black.
Right now I have two black friends. All the rest of my friends are white. Shouldn't I have more
friends from ethnic minorities? But then I realised that of all the pointless questions I have ever
asked myself this one has to be right at the top of the pile.
Let's look at why I have so few black friends. First, just before I was born my parents moved
from Birmingham that had a high proportion of black people to an area with considerably fewer.
My primary school had a few black kids, my secondary school had far more but that number
dropped sharply when it came to A-levels. At university there was just me and another black guy
on my sociology course. Once out in the real world working as a magazine journalist and later a
novelist, I can count the number of ethnic minorities I've met in the work place on two hands
without using any thumbs.
The reason I have so few black friends has nothing to do with wanting to be white and
everything to do with geography, education and the choices I made in my career. So to finish off
some more questions: Do I feel guilty that I don't have more black friends? No. Does this make
me a traitor to my race? Absolutely not. Using the volume of black friends you have as an
indicator is ludicrous(荒唐的). I don't care what colour my friends' skin is. I just care that they're
my friends.
50. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the article from the Guardian?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
51. Why did the writer say “I realised that of all the pointless questions I have ever asked myself
this one has to be right at the top of the pile”?
A. He often asks himself many meaningless questions including this one.
B. It’s unnecessary for him to make more black friends since he is black himself.
C. He doesn’t think it makes any difference how many black friends he has got.
D. It’s unreasonable if he makes more black friends and gives up the white ones.
52. The reasons why the writer has so few black friends do NOT include that____________.
A. he was brought up in a neighbourhood with fewer black people
B. his didn’t meet many, especially excellent black students in school
C. he has met even fewer black people in his chosen career
D. he wants to be white and rejects people from ethnic minorities
53. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. The writer felt guilty after reading the article from the Guardian because he realized his
mistakes.
B. The writer was one among students of A-levels in his secondary school.
C. It’s wrong to accuse people only if they have fewer ethnic minority friends.
D. The fact that the writer has fewer black friends doesn’t mean he betrays his race.
54. What’s the writing purpose of the reading passage?
A. To criticize white Britons who have few ethnic minority friends.
B. To explain the reasons why the writer has few black friends.
C. To point out the racial discrimination that exists in Britain.
D. To express the writer’s different ideas from the article in the Guardian.

SINCE the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could
not do while school was in session.
One of the Oscar-nominated ( 提 名 的 ) movies I've seen this winter break is Slum-dog
Millionaire (《贫民富翁》).
This film is about a poor Indian boy from the slums (贫民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the
grand prize in a show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The night before he answers the
prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don't believe a
slumdog like Jamal can answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (卢
比). But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the
questions. Viewers also learn about Jamal's childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his
childhood lover, Latika.
The movie's point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of an underdog (弱者) who
becomes a hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The
movie begins in Jamal's childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family
lived reminds one of the hutong that used to make up a large part of old Beijing. Jamal and his
brother grow and travel across India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India
ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17 or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant
skyscraper (摩天大楼) financial center. Jamal and Salim take a moment to reminisce (回忆) about
their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that is still under construction. That view from
above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the
living room of a family friend's modern apartment, looking out through a window, down to some
shacks (简陋的房屋) below, just next to the building complex. It was amazing how riches and
poverty could live so close together.
The thing that was most appealing about the movie, to me and my Indian friends, was how
we could relate to the scenarios (情节) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was
the window on the social and economic situations in Asia that it provided
41. Which of the following is TRUE about the movie?
A. Jamal finally won a big prize after struggling hard to earn an honest living.
B. Suspected of cheating, Jamal was arrested by the police before winning the prize.
C. With skyscrapers being built up everywhere, slums in India have disappeared.
D. Jamal remained in his childhood home in the slums before he was 17 or 18.
42. Viewers can learn from the movie EXCEPT _____.
A. Jamal’s childhood and his bitter experience of wandering across the country.
B. the rapid social changes and economic development in India
C. the poor life of people in the slums against the prosperity of cities in India
D. the secret of becoming a millionaire through personal struggle
43. Why does the movie appeal to the writer?
A. It’s a typical story of the underdog who becomes a hero, which the writer admires most.
B. It’s an Oscar-nominated movie that helps the writer understand the nature of human.
C. It has an exciting and complicated plot that attracts the writer very much.
D. It reminds the writer of her experience in China and helps her know about Asian countries
like India.
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The writer is now studying in a school in China.
B. The movie is only welcomed by Americans who have Indian friends.
C. The movie will win the Oscar because of the social problems presented in it.
D. The writer is surprised at the gap between the rich and poor in developing countries.
45. What is the main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce a movie to readers and share her views about it.
B. To persuade more viewers to go to the cinema to see the movie.
C. To express the writer’s enthusiasm towards Asia and its culture.
D. To reveal the true social reality in most developing countries.

There are countless diet programs and weight loss systems available. The majority are from
multi-million dollar companies. Do you really think these businesses achieved success with a
one-time, fix-all diet plan? No, they count on having most people return on a recurring basis;
hence the term "yo-yo dieting". A lot of diet plans can be very limiting. You are required to follow
a certain meal plan, which may consist of certain foods. Some plans are more exact and restrictive
than others. Some diet companies even supply you with the actual meals. This means even more
revenue(收入) for these businesses.
A well-balanced diet consists of carbohydrates that are low in sugar (they're sometimes
referred to as "good carbs"), proteins, and fats. (Yes, fats are important, too.) Fortunately for you,
a well-balanced diet is all that is needed to safely and effectively lose or maintain weight,
depending upon your goals.
By educating yourself and having the willpower and commitment to make the proper food
choices, you'll be well on your way toward achieving your weight-loss goals. After all, in order for
a diet to be really successful, it cannot be just a diet. You must develop and conform to(遵守) a
lifestyle that revolves around smart food decisions. This doesn't mean that you can never enjoy
certain things that you crave(渴望), at least from time to time. We can all enjoy such things, but
moderation is the key. A week's worth of smart choices deserves a meal out at your favorite
restaurant. It also gives you something to look forward to and enjoy when you are saying "no" to
those office donuts all week long.
Don't get me wrong. It isn't always going to be easy. But rarely does anything worth having
come easily. Liking what you see in the mirror, and being fit and healthy are definitely worth
working hard for. Anyone can achieve such goals. To break out the old Nike phrase – Just Do It.
46. The first paragraph mainly tells us ____________.
A.there’re many kinds of diet plans or programs with different effects
B.why so many diet plans can not help people to control weight
C.the diet plans do not work and can only benefit the companies
D.people can’t stick to the diet plans because they are dull
47. If you want to control weight safely and effectively, what you do NOT need is ____________.
A. the diet plans from the big company B. a well-balanced diet
C. the willpower and determination D. a lifestyle considering smart food choices
48. What’s the correct understanding of the underlined sentence?
A.Once you have a big meal in the restaurant, your week’s effort will be in vain.
B.If you can make smart food choices for a week, you can treat yourself to a favourite meal out.
C.A week’s smart food choices itself, not a meal out, is a big reward for you.
D.A week’s proper food at home is as attractive as a delicious meal outside.
49. What’s the correct attitude towards the food you like?
A. Have some whenever you like.
B. Eat much after a diet of a long time.
C. Enjoy it once in a while but never too much.
D. Never have it before you successfully lose weight.
50. The last paragraph is meant to ____________.
A. conclude what’s the best way to control weight
B. emphasize the reasons why people should diet
C. predict the results of taking well-balanced food
D. encourage people to take action in spite of difficulties

Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not
infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the
hearth-rug(炉前的地毯) and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night
before. It was a fine, thick piece of wood, bulbous-headed(球根状的头), of the sort which is
known as a "Penang lawyer."Just under the head was a broad silver band nearly an inch across.
"To James Mortimer, M.R.C.S., from his friends of the C.C.H.," was engraved upon it, with the
date "1884." It was just such a stick as the old-fashioned family practitioner used to carry --
dignified, solid, and reassuring.
"Well, Watson, what do you make of it?"
Holmes was sitting with his back to me, and I had given him no sign of my occupation.
"How did you know what I was doing? I believe you have eyes in the back of your head."
"I have, at least, a well-polished, silver-plated coffee-pot in front of me," said he. "But, tell me,
Watson, what do you make of our visitor's stick? Since we have been so unfortunate as to miss
him and have no notion of his errand(差事), this accidental souvenir becomes of importance. Let
me hear you reconstruct the man by an examination of it."
"I think," said I, following as far as I could the methods of my companion, "that Dr. Mortimer
is a successful, elderly medical man, well-esteemed since those who know him give him this mark
of their appreciation."
"Good!" said Holmes. "Excellent!"
"I think also that the probability is in favour of his being a country practitioner who does a
great deal of his visiting on foot."
"Why so?"
"Because this stick, though originally a very handsome one has been so knocked about that I
can hardly imagine a town practitioner carrying it. The thick-iron ferrule(金属包头) is worn down,
so it is evident that he has done a great amount of walking with it."
"Perfectly sound!" said Holmes.
51. Which of the following statements about Holmes is NOT true?
A. He had good methods to observe people and things around.
B. He was good at encouraging Watson to express his own ideas.
C. He usually got up late in the morning and often didn’t sleep all night.
D. He was quite familiar with his visitor Mr. Mortimer last night.
52. Holmes knew Watson was examining the stick because __________.
A. he had eyes in the back of his head
B. he saw the reflection in the coffee-pot
C. he could guess what his companion was doing
D. he put it here on purpose for Watson to examine it
53. Holmes asked Watson to __________.
A.judge Mr. Mortimer’s identity from the stick left
B.guess who sent him a stick as a souvenir last night
C.find out where Mr. Mortimer lived so as to return his stick
D.examine the stick carefully and describe the details about it
54. What does the underlined word “practitioner” probably refer to?
A. lawyer B. doctor C. detective D. professor
55. How did Watson conclude that Mr. Mortimer worked in the countryside instead of in the
town?
A. The old-fashioned men usually carried a stick like that.
B. He could not imagine people in town would have a stick.
C. He knew only people walked a lot carried so solid a stick.
D. The broken end of the stick suggested its owner walked a lot.

I am not really much of a diet fan, my weight has never been an issue. I eat whatever I want,
when I want. But as Pamela McDonald explains diet is not merely a method for controlling weight,
but has a significant influence on health and quality of life.
I can hardly imagine that living on fried bacon would be a good way to lose weight and
promote good overall health. Likewise a steady diet of cabbage soup would likely become
somewhat monotonous(单调乏味的) after a couple of days.
Pamela McDonald takes a different approach, there is no one-size-fits-all diet, different people
need different things. Although all humans are intrinsically( 本 质 地 ) composed of the same
material, the building blocks, our genes, are subtlety different.
The author maintains that one particular part of a person’s DNA, something called the APO E
gene, has much to do with how our body tolerates foods of different types. This gene comes in 8
varieties and depending on the variety the food requirements are different. This has little to do
with weight loss, and has more to do with overall good health. Weight gain is not a ‘problem’ but
rather a symptom. A diet alone will not resolve the entire problem, it is merely one part of the
larger picture.
I have to admit that parts of The APO E Gene Diet were a little heavy going, I appreciate that
the author felt the requirement to back up her claims with some scientific data, but for the lay(外
行的) man it makes for some rather difficult reading.
The second half of the book, is recipes, now this is something I do understand! She has created
some very innovative dishes, and certainly more than one that had me feeling hungry just reading
them. My favorite of them is a very traditional English dish the Cornish Pasty.

Old women also populate folktales, and the most famous example is the Banshee. She was a
ghost, who was closely connected to a particular family and would sometimes pay them an
unwelcome visit. If the family heard her crying or wailing loudly at night, they would know that a
member of the family was going to die. Similar to this are the stories of the black dogs. These are
definitely not the “man’s best friend” variety of dog. These are enormous, wild dogs seen late at
night and they usually meant death or disease in the family for the person who saw them.
Apart from folktales, there are many customs and traditions connected to yearly celebrations
which are also part of Britain’s folklore(民俗). Lughnasadh (Loo-nah-sah) is a celebration at the
beginning of August. A custom connected with this is to make corn dollies by braiding together
corn from the last of the harvest. The dolly is saved until the following spring when it is put back
into the earth with the new seeds as it was believed that the dolly contained the spirit of the corn
and would bring a good harvest. Christmas too is full of ancient customs which have their roots in
times long before Christianity. The traditions of lighting a fire and decorating the home with
evergreen come from pagan times. The fire was to keep away evil spirits and fill the home with
light and the evergreen was valued because it was a sign that life continued during those cold, dark
days.
Although these tales, customs and dances have been passed down to us from forgotten
generations, they themselves have not been forgotten and continue to play a part in our modern
lives. Every week groups of likeminded individuals regularly meet to sing, play instruments or
practice ancient dances and this month people all over Britain shall be preparing their homes for
that ancient celebration we now call Christmas, lighting fires and putting up holly and
mistletoe(冬青树和榭寄生), just as their great-great-grandfathers once did.
46. Which of the following statements about Banshee is TRUE?
A.She was a ghost serving as the guard of a particular family.
B.Her visit to a family meant an increasing family member.
C.She played a similar role as the black dogs in watching the house.
D.She was said to be feared by those families visited by her.
47. The following can be learned from the passage EXCEPT__________?

B. The fire was lit to keep away evil things and bring light to people.
C. People used evergreen to decorate the home because it stood for life.
D. The black dogs in the folktale were man’s best friends and companies.

There is a very old and charming European custom of decorating a fir(冷杉) tree with apples
and small white wafers representing the Holy Eucharist(圣餐). These wafers were later replaced
by little pieces of pastry cut in the shapes of stars, angels, hearts, flowers, and bells. Eventually
other cookies were introduced bearing the shapes of men, birds, roosters and other animals.
In the Middle Ages, about the 11th century, religious theater was born. One of the most
popular plays, the German mystery play, concerned Adam and Eve, their fall and expulsion(驱逐)
from the Garden of Eden--from the Early Paradise. The Garden of Eden was represented by a fir
tree hung with apples. It represented both the Tree of Life and the Tree of Discernment(识别能力)
of Good and Evil which stood in the center of Paradise. The play ended with the prophecy(预言)
of a coming Savior(救世主), and for this reason, this particular play was often enacted(演出)
during Advent(基督降临节).
The one piece of scenery--the “Paradeisbaum” (the Paradise Tree) became a popular object,
and was often set up in churches, and eventually in private homes as well. It became a symbol of
the Savior. Since the tree represented not only Paradise, and man's fall, but also the promise of
salvation, it was hung not merely with apples, but also with bread or wafers (Holy Eucharist) and
often sweets (representing the sweetness of redemption(补救)). In sections of Bavaria(巴伐利亚),
fir branches and little trees, decorated with lights, apples and tinsel( 金 属 片 ) are still called
Paradise.
The German and English immigrants brought the Christmas tree to America. Fruits, nuts,
flowers, and lighted candles adorned(装扮) the first Christmas trees, but only the strongest trees
could support the weight without drooping; thus, German glassblowers( 玻 璃 吹 制 工 ) began
producing lightweight glass balls to replace heavier, natural decorations. These lights and
decorations were symbols of the joy and light of Christmas. The star that tops the tree is symbolic
of the "Star in the East".
51. What do “wafers” probably refer to?
A. A kind of sweet fruit
B. Something shining used to decorate the Christmas tree.
C. Something like cookies or bread
D. Some evergreen with leaves like needles
52. What can we learn about the Christmas tree from the passage?
A. First it was one piece of scenery on the stage representing the Garden of Eden.
B. It became a popular object first in people’s homes and then in churches.
C. It was European missionaries who brought it to American continent.
D. In Bible it represented the Tree of Life and the Tree of Discernment of Good and Evil.
53. Which of the following statements about Christmas decorations is NOT true?
A. Apples stand for man’s fall and expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
B. bread or wafers represent the Holy Eucharist, the promise of salvation.
C. Sweets mean the sweetness and happiness of celebrating the holiday.
D. Lights and decorations, as symbols of joy, bring people light of Christmas.
54. What’s the main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To recommend different ways to decorate the Christmas tree.
B. To introduce the religious origin of the Christmas tree.
C. To explain the link between the Christmas tree and man’s fall.
D. To analyze the symbolic meanings of Christmas decorations.
55. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Christmas tree --- the Tree of Life B. Decorating your Christmas tree
C. the first Christmas tree D. the Paradise Tree
(答案 51---55 C A C B D)
D
Town or country mouse? by John Russell
The simple tale of town and country mouse (taken from Aesop’s famous stories) shows that
what may be a good place to live for one person, may not be good for another.
A modern version of this tale might look like this: Maria lives in a big city surrounded by the
speed and convenience of urban life. She works in an office with 1,000 other employees, and
travels to and from there on a crowded metro. Her home is a flat overlooking a busy city street,
which is always alive with the sound of traffic and people passing by. After work she meets with
friends in a bar or restaurant before going on to a disco or nightclub. Weekends are spent in the
shopping mall with its numerous shops, multi-screen cinemas, fast food outlets and entertainment
complexes. Alex, however, lives in a small village in the countryside. He cycles to work down
country lanes every morning; the sound of tractors, birds and animals in his ears. In the evening,
he relaxes at home in front of the fire with a good book to read. At weekends, he goes for long
walks in the fields with his dog.
Unfortunately, life is not as simple as stories make it. A lot of today’s ‘town mice’ such as
Maria would be happy to live in the country. Many modern cities have very large populations and
can be crowded, dirty and dangerous places to live. More than half the world’s population now
lives in cities. In much of Europe and North America this can be as high as 80 per cent of a
country’s population.
The 18th century marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the depopulation of the
countryside and the move to towns. The towns became places of mass employment in factories
and offices. Today, many town dwellers wish to reverse this trend and return to a slower pace of
life like Alex, our modern ‘country mouse’. Yet, a modern country existence is not without its
problems: poor transport, a lack of access to hospitals and education, and a scarcity of services
such as large shops, banks and entertainment.
The debate between town and country is meaningless these days, as so many people live in
towns, and very few people are actually able to choose where they live; this is dictated by their
work or birth. The internet and other mass media have linked country areas to the world, providing
access to information – even to remote areas. If people are to be persuaded to stay in the
countryside, other benefits of the city need to be available (employment, health care and
education). Conversely, the introduction of city parks and forests, and traffic-free zones, has
helped in bringing a little of the countryside to the city streets.
56. According to the passage what is a typical town life like EXCEPT____________?
A. People live in the flats overlooking busy streets with moving traffic.
B. People work in offices or factories that provide mass employment.
C. People may go to the shopping mall and dine out in their leisure time.
D. People enjoy safe and clean living surroundings with large parks and forests.
57. What does the modern version of town and country mouse want to tell the readers?
A.To prove that what may be a good place to live for one person may not be suitable for
another.
B.To show that people living in town long for life in the countryside and vice versa(反之亦
然).
C.To describe what city life and country life look like in stories so as to put up their problems
in real life.
D.To point out the difference between the classical Aesop’s fable and its modern version.
58. What dose the underlined word “scarcity” probably mean?
A. fear B. need C. problem D. shortage
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Town life is obviously better than the country life for most people.
B. Most people are living in the cities in developed western countries.
C. People first moved from the countryside to towns in the 18th century.
D. The internet has solved the problems for people moving to the countryside.
60. What can we infer from the reading passage?
A.Both country life and urban life should be improved to provide people with better living
conditins.
B.People from the countryside find it hard to adjust to the fast-paced life in the big cities.
C.Many city residents have decided to give up the town life and move to live in the
countryside.
D.Nowadays people have enough freedom to choose wherever to live and work.

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.
Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal
relationship.
Parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it
easy to narrow the generation gap. Teachers are required to listen more to their students, then they
can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students. It’s
necessary for students to listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each
other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
Each of us should listen more to others: show your respect and never stop others till they
finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be
open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them.

Dear Li Hua,
Very glad to have received your email. Now I’ll tell you what I am doing during my
unlimited time these days. In the UK, any secondary student over 15 years old can get a job
legally in his unlimited time. Students, who can work as long as they work no more than three
hours a day and 18 hours a week during the school year, can’t work past 7:00 pm during school
year.
I guess, first of all, jobs can teach teenagers work skills they will need their whole lives,
such as how to fill out an application, how to interview well and how to get along with co-workers
and superiors. What’s more, jobs can help us teens not only feel more confident and independent
but also develop a sense of responsibility for our courses and work. The most important of all,
Jobs help us teens learn to manage our money in our life.

参考答案
Recently our students in our class have had a discussion on whether senior students should
study both science and liberal arts subjects.
Some students think senior students should study both subjects, because, in their minds,a
good liberal arts student who is not good at science will not be a good builder to our country,and a
good student of science doing badly in liberal arts can not be a good leader. Today’s society
demands all-around talents. However, some students do not think so,as they believe a
fast-developing society needs experts in specific fields instead of “Jack of all trades”. To know
everything means to know nothing
I think it is necessary for student to learn various subjects,which is able to complete their
knowledge structures and comprehensively show them what kinds of subject they can opt to
define their mayor development directions in the future.

参考范文:
In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to
his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.
According to a survey conducted by Sina Website, about 34% of the people think an athlete
should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal, while
nearly 20% of the citizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of
giving up halfway. They regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight
for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.
In my opinion, it’s a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race for the reason that
nothing is more important than health and sports doesn’t mean sacrificing one’s health for a gold
medal.

Shanzhai, a Chinese term, which traditionally refers to the mountain strongholds of bandits,
was the hottest word in 2008 in China. But it has changed to mean copycatting,and there are
Shanzhai phones called Nakia, Shanzhai stars like some real film stars as well as Shanzhai
versions of moveies, songs and TV programs. What’s more, a crowd of youths had their Shanzhai
Spring Festival Gala before the festival,in which the performers expressed themselves in a bolder

In my opinion, Shanzhai is a way for young and ordinary people to have their voiced heard in
a world ruled by authorities. Shanzhai versions give them an opportunity to express themselves.

(1)师生关系
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。
The generation gap between students and teachers is becoming more significant with only 3.3
percent out of a survey group of 1,000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they
would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.
In today’s educational environment, teachers are positioned to be the authority figure for learning
instead of also becoming good friends in the life of students.
As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “ apples in the eyes” of the
teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial (偏心).
“ I feel sad to hear such remarks”, said Yu Yi , a well-known special-class teacher.
She recalled that in the past, teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on
the novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today, study and good marks are the only
topics of conversation between students and teachers.
“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted (传授) but also where students
are taught how to be an upright person,” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely
determined by intelligence but also by emotional state. ”
Yang Xiong, director of the Juvenile Research Institute, said the educational system which focuses
on examinations should be held to be substantially responsible.

One possible version:
Love and Concern Make Ideal Relationship
Students are becoming unwilling to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts because they are
not equal in position and teachers lay too much emphasis on the academic performances of the
students.
While some students might have doubts, I am willing to share my inner thoughts with my
teachers. They show love and concern for their students and are good listeners. I always find it
easy to seek support and advice from them, from which I benefit and learn a lot.
In this case, an ideal relationship between teachers and students is very important. In my
opinion, this relationship should be one filled with love, care and understanding, in which teachers
and students show respect for each other and exchange ideas freely. To build a relationship of this
kind, teachers should become friends of students while students ought to place more trust in their
teachers and give voice to their feelings frankly. Only by joint efforts can we enjoy a warm
relationship between teachers and students.

假设你是某英文报社的编辑,收到某中学生读者的来信,信件内容如下:
Dear editor,
Recently, I was chosen as one of the two students by our school to compete in an
English-speaking contest. I felt very excited and happy because I was given a precious chance to
win honor for my school and to prove myself. In order to make sure that I could achieve the best
in the competition, for almost two months, I had devoted myself to the prepration for the contest.
With so much preparation, I was pretty confident that I would win! However, I was beaten by one
of my school’s “weak” rivals (竞争者). When the result was announced, I could hardly believe
my ears. Upset and and disappointed, I burst into tears at that time. I felt as though I let my
teachers down and even harmed our school’s reputation (名誉).I even felt that all my classmates
were laughing at me behind my back. It seemed that my whole world had turned grey because of
this failure .What can I do?

六篇文章也是信件。(总之:回复信件的概述要用第二人称)
Dear Echo,
From your letter, I know that you put a lot of effort into the competition and really tried your
best. Unfortunately, you didn’t win and have really been bothered by the unexpected result.
On one hand, I totally sympathise with your feelings. Everyone enters a competiton with the
hope to win. Perhaps it is quite natural for you to feel this way after such a setback. But on the
other hand, I think you shouldn’t place so much importance on winning. There is the saying that
“it is not winning, but the taking part that counts”. Hopefully by appearing in this competition you
will not only have improved your English, but will also take a more valuable lesson from it. It’s
impossible to win all the time and everyone must learn to take defeat gracefully (潇洒地). Besides,
you might have been worrying too much. The fact that you lost this competiton won’t diminish
your value as an intelligent and hard-working student in the eyes of your teachersand classmates.
So cheer up! You will find that your world is actually brighter than before.

Just at this moment, I think Dad has already been in deep sleep but I can’t. You never know
how much I want to be his side to have a word with him to seek something there. But, I know he is
too tired, all these years, since Mother was gone,to support the family,he seems to have never

school, I hurried to buy some eggs, meat, and vegetables with the money I saved. When I got
home, I began to do the work. I thought I was clever enough to do it well though I have never
cooked. But unfortunately, everything was a mess: the broken pot and bowls, the burnt eggs and
rice and so on. Although Dad ate them up and didn’t say anything, I could feel his real inside.
Patti, I know I am almost 18,I should share some family load with Dad, but this is my first

Reading is an important activity for many Americans. Today, thousands of men, women and
children belong to groups to discuss the books they read.
No one is sure how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs. Yet
publishers and bookstores report that more and more people throughout the United States are
joining them. Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same
time. Then they meet to talk about the book.Members may be friends or people who live near each
other. Or, they may be people who work together. Some book clubs develop from other
organizations. Religious and community groups often establish book clubs.
Some Americans belong to reading groups on the Internet service. These groups include
people around the world who communicate about books they read. These people send emails
instead of meeting to discuss books. Book clubs may be for only women or only men. Or, they can
be for husbands and wives together. Some are family groups where parents attend with their
children. Children also may belong to book clubs of their own.

Reading
Reading is important for Americans. More and more people are joining book clubs which are
formed by different people or organizations and for specific groups of readers.
Book clubs are really good things. Reading the same book and sharing what we think of it
can help us know more.
Reading is also my favorite activity. My favorite novel is Gone With the Wind. It tells us a story
about a woman, Scarlet, who is very brave and goes through a lot of difficulties but still faces life
with courage. I always remember a famous sentence in this book “Tomorrow is another day.
“ This book encourages me to be brave. Whenever I am in trouble I will think of this sentence.
Personally, I think reading can really bring us benefits。 It can enlarge our knowledge and make
us more intelligent. Besides, it is helpful for our learning, especially for writing good
compositions.

When I was a little girl ,my mother always told me what I should do and not .What I can
remember is that when I was in the primary school, I didn’t want to go to school because I hated
the math teacher who used to punish me for I didn’t finish my homework on time. Instead of
forcing me to go to school, my mother just told me if I didn’t go to school my friends and my
teachers would not like me anymore. What’s more, she told me I should not hate the math teacher
on account of my fault and never hate anybody if I wanted to be likable. Since that time, I have
known that being likable is very important.
While I was growing up, I read a lot of books in order to be a likable person. There is a famous
writer, Dale Carnegie. He wrote a book called How to Win Friends and Influence People, which
taught me a lot .Being a likable person we should respect others and become genuinely interested
in other people. In my opinion, the most significant one is that we should be honest and sincere.
The second way is that we should be glad to give them a hand when it is needed. Finally, I
suppose that being a good listener is quite important as well. We should participate in their
suffering and encourage them in time.
In a word, only if we stand by the people even when they are in the darkest time and never
desert them can we be a likable in the social life.

To Be Likable
The author relates to us how he realized the importance of being likable through his
experience. Besides, Carnegie’s book confirms him of the essence of being likable: modesty,
sincerity, honesty and helpfulness. (32 words)
I remember clearly how I change my attitude towards the most popular girl, Cathy. At first, I was
jealous of her because of her popularity. But one incident made me admire her. As a guy
pursuing uniqueness, I always wore a strange hat to school, which aroused the others’ dislike. But
she wrote a diary posted on our wallpaper to support my eccentricity. In it, she expressed her
understanding and asked our classmates to focus more on my genuineness than my strange
appearance. Since then, I regard her as my confidant.
It is evident that to be a likable person, one needs to show interest and understanding towards
others. First, be concerned with what others are passionate about. Then another significant quality
for a popular person is to remember what’s important to people. In addition, to gain likability, one
should not grudge complimentary words to friends.

Dear Little Bo Wen,
Thank you for your doing everything for your parents. You have suffered from blood cancer
and would die soon, but you were not afraid of death. Instead you had a dream that your divorced
parents would get married again. Finally your dream came true.
What you did moved all of us deeply. We think highly of you and admire you of your bravery.
You are very smart.
Your deeds had a great influence on the whole society. Many people want to know what
made you think of reuniting your parents. I believe, it is LOVE that makes the whole family get
together again. Maybe there were still some misunderstandings between your parents, but the most
important was, their love towards you is the same and pure.
In my opinion, love is the resource of happiness within the members of family. Love makes
family members able to share happiness and sorrow.
Thanks for your love.
Wish you in good health soon!

Once upon a time some tiny frogs held a competition. The first to reach the top of a very high
tower would be the winner.
A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer them on.
The race began. No one in the crowd really believed that any of the tiny frogs would reach the
top of tower. “They will never get to the top! They will never succeed!” someone said.
One by one, the tiny frogs began to collapse (退下).
The crowd kept shouting, “It is too difficult! No frog will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued climbing, higher and higher. This one
wouldn’t give up.
In the end, he was the only one left—the only one to get to the top. The other frogs naturally
wanted to know: How did the frog make it?
One frog stepped forward to ask the winner. It turned out:… that the winner was deaf.
He had won because he was able to keep his own mind. He was able to keep trying. He
couldn’t hear criticism; neither could he hear praise.

This story tells us that in our life, work or study, usually only those people who don’t listen to
criticism or praise from others will succeed in the end.
In essence, sticking to one’s own goal requires determination, self-confidence and strong will.
Those who always hold on will finally reach the peak of success thanks to these qualities.
I am proud to say that my aunt is one of such figures. Since her school years she had been
dreaming of becoming a nurse, giving patients warmth and comfort. However, she failed to pass
the exams for many times despite her hard work. My grandfather tried to persuade her to give up
but my aunt didn’t listen to him. She stuck to her dream firmly and at last gained her certificate.
In a word, we all should stick to our goals and hold on to the last to see our success.

Sometimes I agree with them. College education costs too much to the family especially from
the poor countryside. Most importantly, we cannot find a job after graduation, let alone the
well-paid job.And the teacher's quality is worse and worse. There is no attraction to the students.
Some of us choose skipping the classes to spend the college life.I have no confidence with college
education and my future.
Is it really useless? I am puzzled!

significant event for their growing children and it would influence them a lot. Due to that, a
majority of the parents choosed to pick up the examers during these special days.
But the students who participate in the exam don’t expect their parents to pick up them
specially. Focusing on it, some reporters covered some teachers and students in senior schools.
About this phenomenon , Mr Chen in Fuyuan School said , “ Parents should consider this
rationally.If the students are in special situation such as being ill , I suggest the parents accompany
their children. If all goes well , then let it be .Or they had better ask the students to make up their
mind.” ChenGuangyuan ,a student in Shenzhen told reporters that he would rather his parents
didn’t go to accompany him . “I am a big boy. I would rather my parents take it easy .If all goes as
usual, I will feel relaxed. It will be better.”

Increased College Enrollment
In recent years, there is a steady increase in college enrollment. To many high-school
students, it's definitely good news , for they would have better chance of receiving higher
education.
You don't have to look very far to find out the advantages of the increased college enrollment.
For one thing, it lessens the worries of both high school graduates and their parents. Besides,
increased college enrollment can contribute to raise the educational level of our nation. What's
more, increased college enrollment can provide more students with specialized knowledge, thus
serving our development in a positive way.
On the other hand, we can not deny that there are some potential problems about increased
college enrollment. To begin with, with the increased number of students, the shortage of teaching
staff and facilities becomes clearly seen. Worst of all, increased college enrollment leads to
increased competition in the job market.
It's not an easy task to tell whether the tendency should be encouraged. As to me, it's laudable
to grant more students higher education. But a college degree is by no means a guarantee for a
better job or future. To cast a promising career, we need a lot more abilities which we can not
learn from college.

(11) 社会现象---金融危机(节约型社会)
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。
Hello, everyone,
Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our
group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social
unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world
grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to
the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices,
people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the
environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be
taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should
take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we
should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.
写作内容:
1、以约 30 词概括所给短文的要点。
2、用约 120 词就写一篇文章,包括以下要点:
1)谈谈你对粮食危机的认识。
2)政府倡导建设节约型社会的必要性。
3)中学生如何响应政府号召,厉行节约。
参考答案:
The speaker owes the world food crisis to the climate change, the loss of farmland and the
production of biofuels, and urges us to take measures to deal with this crisis.
Undoubtedly, the speaker is in the right direction of looking into this global problem. But
obviously, he hasn’t reached the core of the problem – human activity. It’s human activity that has
made the nature unbalanced; it’s human activity that has punished humans by starving them.
What’s more terrifying is, I’m afraid, that this is only the beginning of a long-term suffering.
There’s only one way to prevent this human disaster from going worse -- following the
government’s appeal of building a conservation-minded society. Only in this way can we lead the
development of world back to, not away from, the way of what NATURE works. Only in this way
can we save ourselves in time..
Though still at school, we have our own ways to share the responsibility of building a
conservation-minded society. We should waste no food, save every watt of power and every drop
of water, and persuade people around to behave in the same way. If everyone starts to save what
he used to waste, there’ll be hope to solve disasters like world food crisis, though there’s still a
long way to go.
