III 完形填空（满分30分）
A couple of days ago，my sister Liz and I spoke about Dad，and we decided to get him a little something together for Father's Day.We talked about the times when we were 36 up and how Mom and Dad used to play“the good cop，bad cop”things with us.Dad has been a person of few words since we were 37 .He raised us more by 38 than anything else.When he spoke，we listened，but he was always mysterious and difficult to understand.There was always a(n) 39 meaning that I never got，but Liz always 40 to decipher (破译) it.By the time I got to high school，I had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear (设备) and I 41 I was too old to ask money from my parents so I worked at a burger joint(汉堡快餐厅).One day，I was really angry about annoying burgers.I came home huffing and puffing (气喘吁吁地).Dad saw me and asked me what the 42 was.I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers.He said that we all have to 43 somewhere，and that we may not know it now，but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy later in life.“Who knows，you might end up having to run a 44 or even own one when you grow up，”said Dad.He 45 me down and I kept what he said in mind，even though I really didn't agree with it.
A couple of years later，when I got to college，I worked in a restaurant.During one of the really 46 days that we had，we were short on kitchen staff（雇员）.Our customers were getting impatient and the 47 were getting delayed.We were sure that something terrible would 48 out.I couldn't stand the 49 any more，so I rolled up my sleeves，got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen.We caught up with the orders 50 .The owner saw what I did and called me around 51 time.He said that he was very 52 .He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time.That was 53 I realized that what my Dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I've never forgotten what my Dad said that day.And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills，no matter how small or 54 it seems，I have a new perspective (看法)that it might really help me later or even right now and I just don't know it.Experience is everything and it 55 a lot when you take lessons from it.That's my life's philosophy.

IV 阅读理解（满分40分）
A
Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. For Nigel, studying was a piece of cake. The reward was certainly much bigger compared to the little effort Nigel had made. It all began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories. And the peak of his school career came not when he topped the class but when he was selected for the nationwide competition.
Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join in the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets(乐高积木) and making something out of them. Nigel spent two months building his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the big prize for the competition as well as a competitive rival(对手), Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to make friends with Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing touches(收尾工作) to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to play a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.
On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything became clear the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.
The flashbulbs (闪光灯) of the camera exploded in Nigel's face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same. Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never have won the competition.
56. What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work?
A. He was offered a part-time job. B. He was honored with a scholarship.
C. He helped his teachers build a robot. D. He helped in the computer laboratories.
57. Nigel's original intention of joining the contest was to ___ .
A. win honor for his school B. be the top student of the school
C. build a robot with the Lego sets D. win the thousand-dollar prize
58. What is the author's attitude towards Nigel's actions?
A. Favorable B. Critical (批评的) C. Doubtful D. Sympathetic
B
American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial(种族) conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing.
After World War II city residents became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs. Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They unlike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives(主管人员) are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.
This population shift(转变) is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is for sure：many dying cities are alive again.
59. What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A. They are alive. B. They are hopeless. C. They are similar D.They are different.
60. Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A. Because older American cities were dying.
B. Because they were richer and needed more space.
C. Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D. Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
61. According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities ___________.
A. are faced with housing problems B. are faced to move to the suburbs
C. want to sell their buildings D. need more money for daily expenses
62. We can conclude from the text that ____________.
A. American cities are changing for the worse
B. people have different views on American cities
C. many people are now moving from American cities
D. the population is decreasing in older American cities

Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.
The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.
“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.
67. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.
A. has found a full-time job B. has finished his study in university
C. can make money and support himself after completing his education
D. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation
68. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.
A. finding a job B. finding a girl friend C. making money D. preparing for his wedding
69. The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. position B. rank C. level D. situation
70. From the passage, we learn that _________.
A. being grown-up is just a matter of age
B. being grown-up is a process which takes some time
C. all people think completing education means being grown-up
D. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up
71. The best title for the passage should be “________”
A. It takes a long time to grown up. B. Are we grown-up yet?
C. Getting married means being grown-up.
D. Completing education means being grown-up.

A food additive is any substance (物质) that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food”. The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas (分子式). Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.?
The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients (原料) are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory----made substances increase the nutritional value of food.Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange.Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.?
Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep dry, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.?
Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives are subjected to strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects from the long-term use of presently approved food additives are very slim.?
72. From the passage we can learn that______. ?
A. all foods consist of chemical substances
B. it is right to reject chemicals in food
C. food additives are harmful to our health
D. natural foods are much safer than man-made ones
73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.?
B. To ensure food safety, the FDA will ban food additives.?
C. Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life.?
D. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.?
74. We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the FDA that______. ?
A. new additives will be approved more easily than before
B. food producers won’t be allowed to use new food additives
C. food with common-used additives will be taken off the market
D. food additives will be used in a safer and more scientific way
75. According to the writer, the food additive is ______.?
A. worrying B. acceptable C. poisonous D. avoidable

We middle school students have many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They often lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.

III 完形填空（满分30分）
A couple of days ago，my sister Liz and I spoke about Dad，and we decided to get him a little something together for Father's Day.We talked about the times when we were 36 up and how Mom and Dad used to play“the good cop，bad cop”things with us.Dad has been a person of few words since we were 37 .He raised us more by 38 than anything else.When he spoke，we listened，but he was always mysterious and difficult to understand.There was always a(n) 39 meaning that I never got，but Liz always 40 to decipher (破译) it.By the time I got to high school，I had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear (设备) and I 41 I was too old to ask money from my parents so I worked at a burger joint(汉堡快餐厅).One day，I was really angry about annoying burgers.I came home huffing and puffing (气喘吁吁地).Dad saw me and asked me what the 42 was.I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers.He said that we all have to 43 somewhere，and that we may not know it now，but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy later in life.“Who knows，you might end up having to run a 44 or even own one when you grow up，”said Dad.He 45 me down and I kept what he said in mind，even though I really didn't agree with it.
A couple of years later，when I got to college，I worked in a restaurant.During one of the really 46 days that we had，we were short on kitchen staff（雇员）.Our customers were getting impatient and the 47 were getting delayed.We were sure that something terrible would 48 out.I couldn't stand the 49 any more，so I rolled up my sleeves，got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen.We caught up with the orders 50 .The owner saw what I did and called me around 51 time.He said that he was very 52 .He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time.That was 53 I realized that what my Dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I've never forgotten what my Dad said that day.And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills，no matter how small or 54 it seems，I have a new perspective (看法)that it might really help me later or even right now and I just don't know it.Experience is everything and it 55 a lot when you take lessons from it.That's my life's philosophy.

IV 阅读理解（满分40分）
A
Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. For Nigel, studying was a piece of cake. The reward was certainly much bigger compared to the little effort Nigel had made. It all began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories. And the peak of his school career came not when he topped the class but when he was selected for the nationwide competition.
Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join in the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets(乐高积木) and making something out of them. Nigel spent two months building his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the big prize for the competition as well as a competitive rival(对手), Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to make friends with Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing touches(收尾工作) to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to play a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.
On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything became clear the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.
The flashbulbs (闪光灯) of the camera exploded in Nigel's face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same. Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never have won the competition.
56. What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work?
A. He was offered a part-time job. B. He was honored with a scholarship.
C. He helped his teachers build a robot. D. He helped in the computer laboratories.
57. Nigel's original intention of joining the contest was to ___ .
A. win honor for his school B. be the top student of the school
C. build a robot with the Lego sets D. win the thousand-dollar prize
58. What is the author's attitude towards Nigel's actions?
A. Favorable B. Critical (批评的) C. Doubtful D. Sympathetic
B
American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial(种族) conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing.
After World War II city residents became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs. Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They unlike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives(主管人员) are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.
This population shift(转变) is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is for sure：many dying cities are alive again.
59. What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A. They are alive. B. They are hopeless. C. They are similar D.They are different.
60. Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War II?
A. Because older American cities were dying.
B. Because they were richer and needed more space.
C. Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D. Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
61. According to the 4th paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities ___________.
A. are faced with housing problems B. are faced to move to the suburbs
C. want to sell their buildings D. need more money for daily expenses
62. We can conclude from the text that ____________.
A. American cities are changing for the worse
B. people have different views on American cities
C. many people are now moving from American cities
D. the population is decreasing in older American cities

Most Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.
The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.
“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.
67. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _______.
A. has found a full-time job B. has finished his study in university
C. can make money and support himself after completing his education
D. can support a family and be financially independent after graduation
68. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.
A. finding a job B. finding a girl friend C. making money D. preparing for his wedding
69. The underlined word “status” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. position B. rank C. level D. situation
70. From the passage, we learn that _________.
A. being grown-up is just a matter of age
B. being grown-up is a process which takes some time
C. all people think completing education means being grown-up
D. the survey found everyone had a different view about being grown-up
71. The best title for the passage should be “________”
A. It takes a long time to grown up. B. Are we grown-up yet?
C. Getting married means being grown-up.
D. Completing education means being grown-up.

A food additive is any substance (物质) that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food”. The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas (分子式). Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.?
The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients (原料) are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory----made substances increase the nutritional value of food.Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange.Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.?
Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep dry, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.?
Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives are subjected to strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects from the long-term use of presently approved food additives are very slim.?
72. From the passage we can learn that______. ?
A. all foods consist of chemical substances
B. it is right to reject chemicals in food
C. food additives are harmful to our health
D. natural foods are much safer than man-made ones
73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.?
B. To ensure food safety, the FDA will ban food additives.?
C. Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life.?
D. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.?
74. We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the FDA that______. ?
A. new additives will be approved more easily than before
B. food producers won’t be allowed to use new food additives
C. food with common-used additives will be taken off the market
D. food additives will be used in a safer and more scientific way
75. According to the writer, the food additive is ______.?
A. worrying B. acceptable C. poisonous D. avoidable

We middle school students have many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They often lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.
