Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town. They had no electricity or running water and 21 what I considered the “good things” in life. They 22 made no plans for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best “I-mean-it” voice to 23 all the decorations(装饰物) from our tree. She packed those up, 24 all the trimmings(材料) for a 25 turkey dinner. Christmas morning dawned perfectly, with the sun 26 brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. 27 I sulked(生气) silently in the backseat of the car because my parents made our 28 to grandma's. This was going to be the 29 Christmas ever! Grandma was 30 to see us as we walked up to her door. “What on earth are you doing here?” She stammered(结巴地说). “We weren't expecting 31 . It's Christmas, and I don't even have a turkey to cook for you.” I knew 32 . Mom said as we set boxes of things on the kitchen table. “That's 33 we brought one with us.” “We 34 have a tree,” Mom insisted. “ 35 , what will we do with all these decorations?” Uncle Henry quickly knew Mom's meaning. He called me to join him, and we 36 a perfect Christmas tree. Soon the house smelled fresh and piney as we decorated the tree, and the day was 37 a festive air. The turkey dinner was very good, too.

Dessert was forgotten 38 Mom came out with the final surprise-----a flaming(燃烧的) pudding! “Merry Christmas, mother,” Mom said. “Dear me!” Grandma gasped. “I haven't seen a flaming pudding since I left England before I was married.” Tears of 39 filled her eyes. I could not keep the tears 40 my eyes, either. I knew then that Mom had also given me the best Christmas present ever—she had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give. 21.

To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of acquiring a piece of art. An artwork can cost a considerable sum, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny. Art Is for Enjoyment Art is meant to be displayed. Don't ever feel pressured to buy something you won't appreciate looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't appeal to you just because it is trendy（流行的）, because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it! Art Improves Your Environment Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an essential part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique pattern in your home and make it more attractive. For similar reasons, art often graces commercial buildings, such as reception rooms and the offices of top executives. Art Makes a Statement The kind of art you surround yourself says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul. It's an expression of who you are. Be true to yourself, and choose art which is meaningful to you. Art Can Be an Investment Art can pay handsome returns, but this very rarely happens overnight. If you're hoping to make a fast buck, art may not be the right avenue for you. There are investors, of course, who like to put their money in art. They do this for two main reasons: emotional as well as financial benefits. Art Enriches Your Life At a conference on health and aging, held in Australia, a professor from Melbourne's RMIT University shared his findings that love—even the love of an activity or a work of art contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan. Art Makes an Impression When you need to give a gift which will make a lasting impression, a fine piece of artwork is hard to beat. Any recipient(接受者) will appreciate receiving such an exclusive gift, and be honored that you valued her enough to give her something so unique and precious. Just remember to select something which will appeal to your recipient's tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg. 41. We can find something about the host's personality, tastes and values through looking at________ . A. the expression on the face B. the mirror on the wall C. the kind of art around him D. the truth of the art in his home B One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?" The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. Take rubber（橡胶） for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial （ 商 业 的 ） rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late. Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer. 45. The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of __________. A. natural rubber B. tropical grass C. man-made material D. tropical tree 46. In the last paragraph the author tries to _________. A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation B. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests C. persuade people to buy something synthetic D. let people realize the good effect of tropical deforestation 47. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is __________. A. puzzling B. cold C. supporting D. opposed C What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment. The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity-----he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱). He is skeptical ------ he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available------and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them. Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instrumen ts and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation. Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place. These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts. 48.Many people believe that science helps society to progress through__________. A. applied knowledge. B. more than one aspect. C. technology only. D. the use of machines. 49. According to this passage, a successful scientist would not _______. A. easily believe in unchecked statements. B. easily criticize others’ research work. C. always use his imagination in work. D. always use evidence from observation. 50. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Application of technology. B. Progress in modern society. C. Scientists’ ways of thinking and acting. D. How to become a successful scientist. D 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I met Rose, my new classmate, on the first day of college. To my surprise, she was already 87 years old. "Why are you in college at such a young age?" I joked. "I'm here to meet a rich man, get married, have two children, and then retire and travel." She answered. 51 Like young students, Rose was outgoing, kind and helpful. 52 Soon she became a superstar in our college. At the end of the term, Rose was invited to give us a speech. I will never forget what she said to us, "There are only four secrets to staying young and achieving success." "First, you have to laugh and find humor(幽默感) every day. Then, you need to have a dream. 53 Next, find any chance to change yourself. Finally, people shouldn't have regrets(遗憾) for things they didn't do." 54 Over 2 000 students went to her funeral(葬礼) to express their love to the wonderful woman. The great woman didn't live in this world any longer, but she gave us an unforgettable lesson in life. That is— 55 Don't you think so? A. When you lose your dream, you die. B. She always had friends around her. C. Never too old to learn. D. One week after she finished her college, she died in her sleep peacefully. E. Both of us laughed, because we knew what she said wasn't true. F. The important thing is that you have something to express. G. Instead, they try to hide their true feelings. 第三部分：词汇（共两节，满分 15 分） 第一节 基础知识（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 56.
