A greedy(贪婪的) 36 , he had many books, most of which went unread. He owned books on 37 from medicine to history and to several sets of encyclopedias (百科全书). When I enter one of his 38 bookshops where he used to buy books, such as Powell's, I am 39 back to a time when the two of us were 40 . I saw him standing by a bookshelf, 41 through a medical magazine, or opening his wallet to pay for yet 42 book, knowing well that Mom would 43 him on "waste money on books and you will never 44 !" I can not hold back my smiling at his mixed feelings, and the impressive memories always strike me even today. Walking past rows and rows of books in our study, I remember 45 , after the cancer struck, he came less and less and read fewer and fewer books. They became just part of the 46 , collecting only dust and 47. Near the end, perhaps knowing he would never get to read them all, he gave almost all of the books away, 48 only a few. He treated them with an almost holy (神圣的) respect, 49 any crease (皱 褶) or damage would destroy them totally. 50 was the man who would pay little attention to a huge coffee mark on a book, replaced by one who would burst into terrible 51 even at a small crease. I have read a few now after he died, and each time it 52 a hurt in my heart. But I suppose it is a kind of quest (追求), because if I can take on his eagerness for 53, his cheerful smile for happiness, and his willingness to help others, then like a match in the darkness, I will bring a little light into the world. And if that light 54 others, maybe it will spread far and wide, 55 up the heavens. I think he'd like that. 36. A. poet B. collector C. author D. writer 37.

Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black . News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event . LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTY BLACK WINS 56% OF VOTES Bradley called his victory over Yorty “ the fulfillment of a dream ”. During his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him , “You can’t do this, you can’t go there, because you are a Negro. ” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been won 43.7 percent. Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge. Thomas Bradley had to form an opinion of him, The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council years ago. At the time of the Los Angeles election, three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of these cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland, Ohio, had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Cary. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising . In Los Angeles, thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles. Four years ago, Bradley lost mayoral election to Yorty. This time Bradley won . 56. People kept telling Bradley not to “go there” in his childhood because ____________ A. he was too young B. he was a black boy C. he came from a poor farmer’s family D. he himself hated the whites 57. In the author’s opinion, It was surprising that _______________ A. the whites would vote for a black mayor B. the black mayor lost his mayor election to Yorty four years ago C. the black mayor came from a poor farmer’s family D. there would be so many black mayors 58. From the passage, we can learn that people _______________ A. voted for Bradley because of his black color B. cared much about his color when they voted C. voted for him to give a chance to fulfill his dream D. voted for him because they trusted him 59. Bradley hit the front page headline, for ________________ A. he was the first black mayor in history B. he once served in the Los Angeles police force C. he was the first black mayor of one of the largest cities in the USA D. a poor farmer’s son could also win an important election 60. From Bradley’s victory in the election we can see that ____________ A. blacks had equal rights as whites in the USA B. black people’s situation began to be improving much more than before C. one can be successful through hard work in the USA no matter what color he is D. it is certain that someday the USA will have a black president B The Wall Street Journal Asia Edition (U.S.), the Globe and Mail (Canada), the Guardian (U.K.), among other foreign news agencies, have recently published articles on China's earthquake relief. They have all praised the earthquake relief efforts made by the Chinese government. The Wall Street Journal Asia Edition published an article on May 21 saying that on the eighth day of the most serious natural disaster to hit China in decades, the main task of rescuing survivors from the ruins had been quickly replaced by the great challenge of helping them. The article said that people overseas have been deeply impressed by earthquake relief efforts by the Chinese government. The Associated French Press (AFP) reported on May 21 that China has become more open in the whole rescue action. Aircraft loaded with relief supplies from Ukraine, Russia, the United States, Singapore and many other countries have arrived in disaster areas in southwestern China. The Associated Japanese Press (AJP) published an article on May 21 reporting that China is making great efforts to deal with a formidable task caused by the earthquake how to provide temporary shelter for so many people. The article said that many tents have been built; and food and medical care are provided to the people whose lives have been completely disrupted(搅乱)by the earthquake. The Global and Mail of Canada published an article on May hat said the rapid earthquake relief work in Sichuan shows China's powerful economic strength. An article carried in the British Guardian said that one week after the Sichuan earthquake, China began a three-day national mourning(哀悼) period at 14:28 on May 19, and all Chinese people stood in silence for three minutes in memory of the victims. The ongoing search and rescue action are still encouraged by one unexpected survivor after another. Chinese officials said that, so far, no epidemic(流行病) had occurred after the earthquake. 61. How many press media are mentioned in the article? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 62. what is the possible meaning of the underlined word formidable in paragraph 4 ? A. difficult B. quick C. light D. heavy 63. According to the passage, what is the most difficult and important task in the earthquake-hit areas for the present ? A. rescuing survivors B. providing temporary shelter and food for the victims C burying dead bodies D. clearing away the ruins 64. What is the best title of the passage? A. Foreign media praise China's earthquake relief B. The rapid earthquake relief work in Sichuan shows China's powerful economic strength C.The most serious natural disaster to hit China in decades D. Tens of thousands of people’s lives have been completely disrupted by the earthquake. 65. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ? A. Chinese government made great efforts to relieve the people after the earthquake B. many countries in the world provide China with the relief sup C. in the earthquake-hit areas, people’s lives have been completely disrupted by the earthquake D. the ongoing search and rescue action have completely stopped at the present time C NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing (释放) chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering." But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. 66. The passage is mainly about . A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill C. a way of wiping out painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill 67. The drug tested on people can . A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiences C. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories 68. We can infer from the passage that . A. people doubt the effects of the pills B. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memories C. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America 69. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ? A. some memories can ruin people's lives. B. people want to get rid of bad memories. C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others. D. the pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories. 70. You may probably read the passage in __________ A. a guidebook B. a textbook C. a medical magazine D. a science fiction D When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions, that is, their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver bowls. But now in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance ( 优 雅 )has given way to a stoneware ( 粗 陶 ) and informality, with dresses in an informal and ordinary look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it means economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is removing 1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) field. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs （ 失业 ） in Stoke have their roots in great social changes. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend(潮流)" toward informal dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or because they want to eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone informal. In a time of long work hours and busy family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Clean the silver bowls ? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned before at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette courses for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially. 71. In many homes nowadays, people tend to ______________________ A. stick to formal traditions when they dine B. set their tables with the good dishes and silver bowls C. have dinner informally D. buy many sets of fine china 72. Why do people tend to follow the trend towards informal dining? A. Family members need more time to relax. B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality. C. People prefer to live a comfortable life. D. Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation. 73. It can be learned from the passage that ‘Royal Doulton’ is . A. a store of steel tableware B. a store of stoneware C. a store of pottery chain D. a producer of fine china 74. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is . A. the increased value of the pound B. the worsening economy in Asia C. the change in people's way of life D. the fierce competition at home and abroad 75. In the last paragraph, we can find that formal table manners, though less popular than before in present social life, . A. are still a must on certain occasions B. are certain to return sooner or later C. are still being taught by parents at home D. can help improve personal relationships 第四部分：写作（共三节，满分 45 分） 第一节：任务型阅读（满分 10 分） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。每 空一词（满分 10 分） Traditionally, many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a recent medical report offers some different advice. Experts suggest people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking. The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait—in each case that is more than eight glasses. There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they do hard labor. The same is true of those who live in the hot climate. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do. 第二节：根据首字母或中文提示，完成句子（满分 10 分） 86. A good book does not n__________ sell well. 87.

Different students have different opinions. Seventy percent of the students are willing to accept daily homework．They think homework helps them review and practice what has been taught in class．Besides，by doing daily homework, students can better understand their lessons．Furthermore，their skills in managing time can also be improved through homework． However, thirty percent of the students have different ideas．They believe homework reduces their amount of leisure time with their families，not to mention the time for other activities．With a lot of homework to do，students feel tired，and will gradually lose interest in their lessons． In my opinion, daily homework is necessary, but it must be fit for a student’s ability．Also， the amount of homework should be limited，for a student’s all－around development is more important than anything else in his or her life．
