Ⅳ.阅读理解
People，who argue that good teachers are born and cannot be made，or trained，usually base their view upon the teacher’s personality.They think that with the right personality，training is not necessary；with the wrong personality，training is useless.It seems to me that this is a personal impression.
Obviously，a really weak personality is an unfavorable disqualification(不合格) for teaching.On the other hand，a teacher’s personality that is too powerful may also be a disqualification，because of his or her tendency to rule the classroom situation.He or she may fail to develop the personality and individuality(个性) in his or her own students.
However，this consideration of the teacher’s personality，from the point of view of training him or her to teach in a college or university，does not seem to weaken the case for good teacher training.On the contrary，it may strengthen it if the training course includes effective psychological analysis of the classroom situation，and the interaction(合作，一起活动) between teachers’ and students’ personalities.
Then，we must keep in mind that students expect teachers to teach.They value clear statement of problems，and guidance in their solution.Personal qualities of kindness，sympathy and patience are secondary.Students value their teachers mainly for their intellectual abilities.Enquiries carried out in England and America over half a century have pointed to this conclusion.
1．The writer believes that ________.
A．teacher training is not necessary for those who have the right personality
B．qualified teachers are born and cannot be made
C．training is always necessary for those who want to become good teachers
D．teacher training is only necessary for those who have not the right personality
解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第一段中的最后一句话说明了作者的观点，后面给了解释。
2．A strong personality might be a weak point to a teacher because ________.
A．the teacher may give too much control in the classroom
B．the teacher may give too little control in the classroom
C．the teacher may pay too much attention to students’ needs
D．the teacher may easily get angry with the students
解析：选A。推理判断题。这样的教师的控制欲太强，不利于学生个性的发展。
3．A teacher training course should include ________.
A．personality analysis of different kinds of people
B．personality analysis of different kinds of students
C．analysis of classroom culture and communication
D．analysis of the differences between strong and weak personalities
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“...effective psychological analysis of the classroom situation，and the interaction...”得出答案。
4．The conclusion made by the writer is ________.
A．teachers’ knowledge and skills are the most important to their students
B．teachers’ kindness and sympathy are the most valuable to their students
C．teachers’ motivation and interest in teaching are the most important to their students

Ⅴ.阅读理解
To explain why he liked his art teacher best,16?year?old Dainzin Tanam could not write more words than a simple sentence “Because he teaches me painting.”
In the eyes of his teachers at the Lhasa Special Education School，the deaf boy was a little painter.Five years ago，however，all Tanam could do was to stay in bed until noon，and then stare at the sky through the window，waiting for his parents’ return.
His mother Yangzom said she had no other choice but to lock him in the house every day as she and her husband had to work and they did not want to allow the boy to roam(闲逛) the streets.
“Every day when I came back home and saw my lonely poor son，I felt my heart hurt.But now I can finally feel a bit relieved，” the mother said.She said it was the school that changed his son.“Without the school，I dared not imagine how my son would be now.”
With a governmental fund of 4.5 million yuan，the special education school was founded in 2000.Being the only government?run school for handicapped children in Tibet，it now has 28 teachers and 120 school children in nine classes of 5 grades.Eight classes in the school are for deaf kids and the other one is for blind kids.
Students can enjoy free food，boarding，clothing and medical services in the school，which is open to deaf and blind children from all over the autonomous region.
Tibetan sign language and Tibetan braille are basic courses here.Children also have Tibetan，Chinese，mathematics，science，painting，dancing and sports lessons.
A “black and white” textbook seemed appealing among the colorful books in Tanam’s school bag.The text was handwritten.It was the Tibetan language textbook compiled and written by teachers themselves.
“As textbooks for students in ordinary schools sometimes are too abstract and hard for our kids to understand，two other Tibetan language teachers and I compiled the textbook to make things easier for them，” said teacher Dawa.
The book with the love of all the teachers，though not spoken out，will surely help children enjoy their life by supporting themselves after leaving the school.
1．How old was Dainzin Tanam when he began to go to the Lhasa Special Education School?
A．16 years old. B．11 years old.
C．21 years old. D．5 years old.
解析：选B。数字计算题。根据第一段第一句和第二段中的“Five years ago”可知16减去5得11。
2．What is the parents’ feeling about the special education school?
A．Relieved. B．Excited.
C．Grateful. D．Lighthearted.
解析：选C。推理判断题。relieved“宽慰的”；excited“激动的”；grateful“感激的”；lighthearted“轻松愉快的”。根据第四段最后一句“Without the school，I dared not imagine how my son would be now.”可以确定父母流露出的是感激之情。
3．Who wrote the “black and white” textbook for the children?
A．Dawa.
B．The teachers in the special education school.
C．Dawa and another two teachers.
D．Nobody but sent by the government.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“two other Tibetan language teachers and I”可知这本书是由Dawa和另外两位老师编写的。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women，mostly married.The atmosphere is usually very friendly，and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian(要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago—so much that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good.So the emphasis is on co?operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious，in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive；however，the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas，and obviously quite a few as criminals，but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails.It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.
1．According to the passage，the US elementary education is supposed to make children ________.
A．happy and interested

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Americans are famous for being friendly to people.Their friendships，however，tend to be shorter and more casual(随意的) than friendships among people from other cultures.It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime，and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances (泛泛之交)．This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people.They tend to “compartmentalize” (划分)friendships，having “friends at work”，“friends on the softball team”，“family friends” and so forth.
Because the United States is a highly active society，full of movement and change，people always seem to be on the go.In this highly_charged_ atmosphere，Americans sometimes seem abrupt (无礼的) or impatient.They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else.Sometimes，they ask you questions that you may feel very personal.No insult is intended；the questions usually grow out of their true interest or curiosity，and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter.And the same goes for you.If you don’t understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them，do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves.Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested.They explain so much in fact that you may become tired of listening.It doesn’t matter because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation.They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores，for instance，than deal with silence.
On the other hand，don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs，unless those subjects directly involve the United States.Because the United States is geographically distant from many other nations，some Americans tend not to be aware of what goes on in other parts of the world.
1．According to the passage，Americans’ attitude towards friendship is ________.
A．it is unusual to have only one close friend
B．more informal than that in other countries
C．to regard all friends as only social acquaintances
D．to divide friends into several grades
解析：选B。推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“Their friendships，however，tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures.”可以推知美国人对待友谊较为随意，不太正式。
2．The words “highly charged” (Paragraph 2) most probably mean ________.
A．extremely expensive
B．much cheerful
C．highly responsible
D．full of mobility and change
解析：选D。词义猜测题。认真阅读并分析其所在句及前一句可知，是对前面一句话内容的概括，由此可见应表示“充满流动性和变化的”。
3．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Americans know a lot about international affairs.
B．Friendships among Americans tend to be more formal.
C．Americans always seem to be on the move.
D．Americans like to cooperate with other people.
解析：选C。推理判断题。由文章第二段首句中的“...people always seem to be on the go.”可知答案。
4．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．Americans want to take part in all kinds of activities
B．curiosity is the major characteristic of Americans
C．Americans do not know how to deal with silence
D．Americans’ characters are influenced by their social and geographical environments
解析：选D。推理判断题。由文章第一段第四句“This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans dislike to be dependent on other people”可知，美国人对待友谊的态度可能与美国人的流动性以及他们不喜欢依赖别人有关。由第二段首句可知，美国是一个充满活力、充满流动性和变化的社会。这一切都表明美国人的性格受社会影响。文章最后一句表明美国人的性格也受其地理位置的影响。故D项正确。其他三项内容与文章不符。

A．intended as pleasant surprise
B．intending as pleasant surprise
C．intended as a pleasant surprise

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Happiness is for everyone.You don’ t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on.Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.When you are in trouble at school；your friends will help you；when you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health；when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you；when you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it.And when you do something good to others，you will feel happy，too.All these are your happiness.If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor，you can also say you are very
happy，because you have something else that can’t be bought with money.When you meet with difficulties，you can say loudly you are very happy，because you have more chances to challenge yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes，life is like a revolving(旋转的) door.When it closes，it also opens.If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person.
1．Those who have big houses may often feel ________.

3．What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A．Oh，so do I. B．Congratulations!
C．Good luck! D．It’s just so?so.
解析：选B。从第二段“when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you”可知当你成功的时候，你的朋友会向你表示祝贺。
4．Which idea is NOT right according to the passage?
A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

When I was teaching in China，I certainly wanted my students to learn more，but I also really wanted them to enjoy classes.
One of my favorite classes was teaching my students about music.I taught them about the many different styles of music and about the different cultures that had produced them.I played CDs in class to test my students’ increasing knowledge of music styles，but I decided that，although useful and fun，this just wasn’t memorable enough.
As a student myself，I had learned to play classical and electric guitar.I decided that I would take my electric guitar into class，not only to further test my students，but also to give them something memorable.During the lesson，I played various music styles，from country and western to blues，jazz and rock；after each piece，I would have my students，in groups，guess the style of music played.Their enthusiastic involvement told me all I needed to know about this class.It had been a great success.During a free talk about culture and music，I was delighted to hear their sensitive comments on the origins of rap，rock and blues music.
Further to this，I set a class project，asking students to form their own band，choosing their own instruments，style of music and band name.The rest of the class would then interview each group about their group and their music.It was great for me to watch how their understanding of the subject had been so deeply rooted.And to help them learn more about music is my aim.
I believe that making teaching memorable is the key not only to dynamic (动态的) learning for students，but also to pure enjoyment for teachers.If a teacher brings a range of different skills into the classroom，I am certain that the teacher will be in a great position to give his students unforgettable classes.After all，if students can see that a teacher loves teaching them，how can they fail to be inspired by such a teacher?
1．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．classes B．students
C．cultures D．different styles of music
解析：选D。代词指代题。根据上文可以判断，此句的先行词为cultures，不同的文化产生了不同风格的音乐。

解析：选B。细节理解题。由文章第三段可以判断。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star.There are two ways to go about getting one.First there is the traditional way.Find some friends and form a group.Learn to play the guitar or the drums.Write your own songs.Spend hours arguing about the band name Then go on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring.If you are good，the crowds will get bigger.In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show.If he or she likes you，there may be a deal.This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry.Success means fame and wealth.And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known.Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don’t come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled.Professional song writers usually write their music.This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way.In the early 1960’s an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records.Motown is short for “motor town”．The record company was based in the city of Detroit，where thousands of African?Americans had moved to work in the car industry.They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music.This style later became known as “soulmusic”．Berry Gordy was a diamond miner.He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.Motown stars were not just given songs to sing.They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.
1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A．to form a band is very hard
B．the name of the band is very important

解析：选D。推理判断题。依据第一、二段中“First...”“The next step...”所在的句子可看出作者认为组成一个乐队非常简单。
2．If a newborn band wants to succeed，as the writer tells，it must have the chance________.
A．to travel in big cities
B．to perform before an artist
C．to make an agreement with a record company
D．to experience failure again and again
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show.If he or she likes you，there may be a deal.”可知C项正确。
3．From the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that ________.
A．Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B．Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C．Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D．Detroit was found by African?Americans
解析：选B。细节理解题。依据该段中“...where thousands of African?Americans had moved to work in the car industry.”而确定选B项。
4．From the passage，we can learn that Motown stars ________.
A．used to be miners
B．used to dress poorly
C．became perfect little by little

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is a popular saying in the United States. Other countries have similar sayings. It is true that all of us need recreation. We cannot work all the time if we are going to keep good health and everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketball, and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing, and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.
Not everyone who enjoys sports events likes to take part in them. Many people prefer to be onlookers, either watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match it is almost impossible to get tickets; everyone wants to attend.
Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn’t matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some form of recreation.

B．All of us need recreation in our lives if we cannot work all the time.

I first met Confucius(孔子) in a friend’s living room, nearly 10 years ago. OK, so it wasn’ t really the bearded (蓄胡子的 ) Chinese philosopher. It was a collection of his most famous lines, printed and resting on a coffee table. As I looked through the pages, an image of the man began to form in my mind.
It wasn’t until last Saturday, though, that I finally had a chance to put a name to the face—that of Hong Kong star Chow Yun-fat(周润发), who played the role of Confucius. I went to see the film knowing very little of Confucius’ personal story. I felt wondering what I would have thought of the man if I really had met him in person.
Would I have been like the farmer in the film who kept on harvesting grain when Confucius and his disciples (门生) stopped and asked for directions? Would I have been like the alluring consort (played by Zhou Xun) who requested a meeting with the sage(圣人) only to test him? Or would I have been one of the young men who left everything to follow him into the wilderness?
I suppose it all depends on the historical knowledge of director Hu Mei’s Confucius.
In the movie, we see a man who is all at once humble (虚心的) , wise, humorous, intelligent, disciplined(自律的) and firm. Even when Zhou’s character all but throws herself on Confucius, the philosopher walks away with hardly a trace of desire on his face.
Still, though, I’ m not quite sure I’d have given everything—family, livelihood, home—to sit at his feet day and night and live on horse-meat soup, as his followers do in the movie. For if Chow’s Confucius has one flaw (瑕疵) , it ’s that he abandons his wife and daughter in order to spread his philosophy throughout China.
1. Before the writer saw the film Confucius, he had________.
A．known a lot of Confucius
B．read a collection of famous lines of Confucius
C．known little of Confucius’ personal story
D．read a lot about the leading character Chow Yun-fat in the film
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的“I went to see the film knowing very little of Confucius’ personal story.”可知。
2. Who directed the film Confucius?
A．Chow Yun-fat. B．Zhou Xun.
C．Hu Mei. D．The writer’s friend.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段“I suppose it all depends on the historical knowledge of director Hu Mei’s Confucius.”可知。
3．Which of the following belongs to the plot of the film?
A. A farmer takes no notice of Confucius and his followers when they stopped to ask for directions.
B．The character played by Zhou Xun shows great respect for Confucius.
C．Seeing Confucius, one young man leaves what he has to follow Confucius.
D．Confucius cares about his wife and daughter in all his life.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Would I have been like the farmer in the film who kept on harvesting grain when Confucius and his disciples (门生) stopped and asked for directions？”可知。
4. Which of the following can not be used to describe Confucius played by Chow Yun-fat?
A．Wise. B．Humorous.
C．Disciplined. D．Proud.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第五段的In the movie we see a man who is all at once humble(虚心的), wise, humorous, intelligent, disciplined(自律的) and firm.可知孔子虚心、睿智、幽默、聪明、自律、坚强。
5. According to the last paragraph, we know ________.
A. the writer thinks it’s wrong of Confucius to leave his wife and daughter alone
B．the writer can’t give up what he has to follow such a sage
C．Confucius and his followers kill horses everyday
D．Confucius and his followers often sit together to have a rest
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句可知作者认为孔子抛弃妻女去传播自己的思想是不对的。

Ⅲ.单项填空
1．At the meeting, Premier Wen Jiabao emphasized (强调) the important part agriculture________in China’s economic development.
A．plays B．is
C．does D．takes
解析：选A。句意：在会议上，温家宝总理强调了农业在中国经济发展中的重要作用。从agriculture到句子末尾是定语从句，修饰the important part，agriculture前面省略了关系代词that。关系代词作宾语，指代先行词part，故横线所填动词须和part搭配。根据题意应构成“在……起作用”的意思。B、C两项搭配不对；D项take part in意为“参加”，语义不对。play a part in 表示“在……起作用”的意思。
2．—Have you heard of the North Korea’s nuclear test?
—Yes, ________news came as________shock to me.
A．the; a B．the; the
C．a; a D．a; the
解析：选A。第一空表特指；a shock“一件令人震惊的事件”。

5．They were walking around the town________a place for the party.
A．in search of B．search
C．searching of D．searched for
解析：选A。in search of为介词短语，意为“寻找”，符合句意。B、D两项动词形式不正确；无C项search of这种搭配。
6. The day I discovered that good name my parents had ________ brought our whole family the respect of our neighbour.
A．deserved B．earned
C．given D．used
解析：选B。按照句意，此处应为“赢得”的意思。earn的宾语可以是name, fame, reputation, position等。
7．The doctor advised Vera strongly that she should take a holiday, but ________didn’t help.
A．it B．she
C．which D．he
解析：选A。此处it指代前面句子的内容。此题易误选which，它可引导一个非限制性定语从句，但因前面已有连词，故不用which。
8．Why does teaching as a career________many people?
A．apply for B．attract to
C．appeal to D．agree with
解析：选C。appeal to对……有诱惑力。句意：为什么教育作为一项事业吸引了这么多人呢？apply for申请；attract吸引；attract sb. /sth. to把……吸引到……；agree with同意。
9. He treats the old lady as granny out of ________.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Maurice Sendak’s children’s book，Where the Wild Things Are，published in 1963，has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book’s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long，Max’s room magically becomes a forest，and he sails away to a land where monsters live. Max isn’t scared，though，and becomes king of the wild things，but after a while，he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis，an education professor，said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves，” she said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children，but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through，like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’，” Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters，” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the thing under the bed that’s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience. ”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years，a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don’t want bad dreams over a book that’s extremely wonderful，” Davis said.

3．A.does have B．doesn’t exist
C．never have D．does exist
解析：选D。从下一句的“It exists”可知应选D项，does用来强调谓语动词exist。

5．A.was uncapable B．was able to

解析：选A。她越想自己的情况越觉得难受。由下文她去看医生可知，她的情况很糟糕。
8．A.before long B. since years
C．for years D．years ago
解析：选C。格林太太认识这位医生很多年了。由从句时态是过去完成时可知，此处应选C项。before long“不久后”；since后面一般接时间点；years ago应与一般过去时连用。

C．general D．clear
解析：选B。大夫为格林太太做了认真的检查。careful examination“认真的检查”，符合语境。

解析：选A。从下文可知，医生给格林太太开了药，故此处选 pill“药片”。
13．A.eat B．take
C．drink D．use
解析：选B。你需要在晚饭后和睡前半小时各服一粒药。take medicine“吃药”，为固定短语。
14．A.when B．since

解析：选D。由常识可知，吃药应在睡觉前或准备睡觉时，由“half an hour”可知，此处为睡前。
15．A.what B．whether
C．how D．why
解析：选C。feel后接形容词构成系表结构，故此处应用how提问形容词。
16．A.called B．wrote
C．complained D．said
解析：选A。上文中提到，医生让格林太太第二天给他打电话，故call“打电话”，符合语境。

19．A.sold B．written

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for their teams. One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he thinks will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times of his age.
Most schools in England take football seriously(认真地)—much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all that are important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom; education also means the training of character by means of games, especially team games, where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team instead of working for himself or herself alone. Therefore,_the school plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.
1．We can use________instead of the underlined word “Therefore” in Paragraph 2.
A．However B．As a result
C．Because D．At that place

A．England is better than any other European country

In the eyes of a Western visitor, a temple in Taiwan is very different from a church in the West. The following is a report of this Westerner.
For a Western church, you can__1__the great door in the center and walk straight down the aisle(通道) to the altar(圣坛)，but a Taiwanese temple must be entered through the__2__gates. This leads you right to a large__3__courtyard. From here you can see__4__the roof-line of the main wall and doors. The pillars (台柱；柱) and the roof-line are often__5__with dragons.__6__across the outer courtyard, you will reach the main doors__7__you to the inner courtyard, and again the doors are not in the__8__facing the main altar inside the main building，__9__ to the left and right.__10__on the big doors are the fierce guardian spirits in bright and realistic details. To cross over the doorsill(门槛) to__11__the inner courtyard, you have to lift your__12__or you may trip and__13__. Once inside the inner courtyard, you can walk into the main building of the temple and__14__the images of gods on the altar enclosed within iron__15__.
These details are “security measures” just like those a__16__has to keep thieves from__17__. Some of these measures are aimed at__18__， because ghosts (鬼) cannot__19__their feet over barriers, nor__20__make 90-degree turns. But the iron bars are obviously there for keeping thieves out.
1．A.come B．arrive
C．reach D．enter
解析：选D。根据下文中的．..but a Taiwanese temple must be entered through...可知，两句虽然语态不同，但应使用相同的动词。
2．A.side B．center
C．inside D．outside
解析：选A。和上文中的．..the great door in the center and walk straight down the aisle(通道)to the altar(圣坛)．..进行对比可知，此处应是side gates，指侧门。
3．A.inside B．outer
C．beautiful D．green
解析：选B。根据此处和下文中第6个空格后的across the outer courtyard, you will reach the main doors...可知，此处指的是“外院(outer courtyard)”。
4．A.roughly B．deeply
C．clearly D．randomly
解析：选C。根据下文中的The pillars(台柱；柱)and the roof-line are often__5__with dragons.可知，从此处可以清楚地看到主房的建筑风格。
5．A.decorated B．covered
C．filled D．full
解析：选A。此处意思是“在柱子和屋顶上饰有龙(的形象)”，此空格处应为“装饰”的意思。故用decorated。
6．A.Walking B．Walked
C．Running D．Rushed
解析：选A。此处意思是“你穿过外院，即可到达主门”。从常识和一般意义上理解，作为旅游者，通常只是步行，“跑”或“冲过来/去”的情况，是不常见的。从语法的角度来看．B项错误，错误之处在于与主语you不能构成正确的逻辑关系。
7．A.directed B．instructing
C．to guide D．leading
解析：选D。此句意思是“你就来到一个引你进入内院的主门处”，此处的leading充当定语相当于一个由which/that引起的定语从句。
8．A.side B．center
C．inside D．main
解析：选B。此处的意思是“正门却不正对着主殿中主祭坛的中央”。此答案可以从上文的．..the great door in the center and walk straight down the aisle(通道)to the altar(圣坛)．..得出。
9．A.and B．so
C．therefore D．but
解析：选D。此处句意是紧跟着上一句来的，为not...but...结构。
10．A.Painted B．Drawn
C．Written D．Carved
解析：选A。此句是一个倒装句，全句的正常语序为The fierce guardian spirits on the big doors are painted in bright and realistic details.此处的painted意思是“用油漆漆出……的形象”。
11．A.get into B．get out of
C．arrive to D．reach in
解析：选A。从下句中的Once inside the inner courtyard...可知，此处是“进入”的意思。
12．A.hand B．arm
C．foot D．head
解析：选C。根据下文中的or you may trip and...和．..because ghosts (鬼) cannot__19__ their feet over barriers，可知此处应选择C项。
13．A.fall out B．fall down
C．fall off D．fall back
解析：选B。此题主要考查与fall相关的词组的意义：A项fall out意思是“脱落；吵架”；B项fall down意思是“跌倒”；C项fall off意思是“减少；下降”；D项fall back意思是“撤退；退却”。
14．A.see B．watch
C．notice D．know
解析：选A。此处考查动词的用法。强调“看到”的结果要用see，故选择A项。
15．A.courtyard B．building
C．room D．bars
解析：选D。从全文的最后一句But the iron bars are obviously there for keeping thieves out.可推知，此处应选择D项。
16．A.school B．bank
C．hospital D．park
解析：选B。此题考查对上下文的理解。根据句意，比较四个选项，银行的保安措施理应是最完善的。
17．A.breaking out B．breaking in
C．breaking up D．breaking through
解析：选B。此题考查由动词break构成的相关词组的意义。根据keep thieves from，可知此处是指“破门而入”。
18．A.good spirits B．thieves
C．evil spirits D．some persons
解析：选C。此处指采用此诸多“建筑特点”的原因。由下一句．..because ghosts(鬼)cannot__19__their feet over barriers，nor...可知，此空格处所填内容应与ghosts所表示的意义类似，故选evil spirits (bad spirits)。
19．A.lift B．lower
C．stand D．cut
解析：选A。此题可根据上文中的．..you have to lift your__12__or you may trip...得出结论。
20．A.they can B．they will

Ⅴ.阅读理解
On a cold，gray afternoon a year ago，I stood on the deck of our newly-purchased，half-constructed house about an hour’s drive outside Shanghai，wondering what，exactly，I had gotten myself into. My wife，a Shanghai native，and I had moved back to China from New York City in the spring of 2004，and two and a half years later we had decided to take the plunge. We bought a three-story，five-bedroom townhouse in the suburbs，in a town called New Songjiang，a place that was then—and remains now—very much a work in progress.
We came here that day to see how construction was progressing. Our house，along with about 140 others，was going up in a development called Emerald Riverside. It sits on the banks of a small river that flows into the Huangpu River，which cuts Shanghai into two parts，about 28 miles to the northeast. On that dreary afternoon I gazed out to the other side of the river，looking at the only significant patch (小块) of land for miles that was not yet being developed—about five acres of green that local farmers still used to grow watermelons，which they then sold to the migrant workers building this town. In every direction just beyond the watermelon patch，office parks，houses and apartment complexes were going up，forming a circle around the farmland that was drawing coldly tighter. As it is in vast areas of China，the new is replacing the old，and it is not doing so slowly. It is doing so in the blink of an eye. How magical it is!
I stood on the deck，thinking that my wife and I have become a tiny part of China’s latest revolution. As a New Yorker，I’m excited about that now，for my wife and I got an off the shelf mortgage (抵押) from the Standard Chartered Bank branch in town，plunking down 25% of the purchase price，and bought ourselves a piece of the Great Chinese Dream.

B．there are 140 houses going up in a development called Emerald Riverside
C．local farmers used about five acres of land to plant trees and crops
D．the new is replacing the old，but it is doing too slowly
解析：选A。细节理解题。A项与文章第一段最后一句吻合；B项与文章第二段第二句不吻合；C项与文章第二段中．..about five acres of green that local farmers still used to grow watermelons...不吻合；D项与第二段的．..the new is replacing the old，and it is not doing so slowly. 不吻合。
3．What is the author’s attitude to China’s construction?
A．Disappointment. B．Astonishment.
C．Happiness. D．Sadness.
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句How magical it is！可判断作者对中国的建设感到很吃惊。
4．This passage most probably appears in________

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods—even if you also exercise regularly—could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place—at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV—just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals，” said Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. She explained that genes regulating(调节)the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day—but still spend a lot of time sitting—might get more benefit if that exercise was spread across the day, rather than in a single bout(一回)．
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17, 000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised.
Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits，” Ekblom-Bak said. “But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible，” she said.
1．What is the best title for the text?
A．Not Sitting Too Much While Working
B．How to Avoid Sitting Too Much
C．Sitting Too Much Could Be Deadly
D．More and More People Sit Too Much
解析：选C。主旨大意题。文章首先提出最新研究的发现，即久坐会致命。之后围绕该主题对研究进行介绍，并对此研究的发现进行分析。由此判断正确答案选C。其他选项仅是文中细节，不能概括全文内容。
2．According to the research，________.
A．the more time you spend in exercising in a single bout, the healthier you will be
B．those who often sit too much are sure to grow fat or suffer from a heart attack
C．regular exercise is effective to get rid of the side effects of sitting too much
D．you had better not sit for more than four hours in a single bout
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals可推断选D。
3．How does the danger of sitting too much affect the human body?
A. It results in a higher death risk.
B．It increases glucose and fat in the body.
C．It makes a person unable to exercise long enough in a day.
D．It causes the genes to fail to balance the glucose and fat in the body.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段She explained that genes regulating(调节)the amount of glucose(葡萄糖)and fat in the body start to shut down.可知“坐了四个小时后，身体会开始发出有害信号，此时调节体内葡萄糖和脂肪量的基因会开始罢工，即会导致体内葡萄糖和脂肪量失去平衡。”故选D。
4．The underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 6 most probably means________.

Ⅳ.完形填空
When you accept a dinner invitation, tell your host if you have any dietary restrictions(饮食禁忌)．He or she will want to__1__a meal that you can enjoy.Cocktails or other drinks may be__2__before the dinner. It is not necessary to__3__an alcoholic drink if you do not want one. You can always__4__fruit juice or a soft drink. The__5__meal is the main meal of the day in most parts of the United States. This is a time for family members，__6__children, to be together and talk about__7__of interest. Guests are encouraged to__8__these conversations.
Food may be served in one of several__9__：“family style，” by__10__ the serving plates from one to another around the dining table; “buffet style，” with__11__serving themselves at the buffet; and “serving style，”__12__the host filling each plate and passing it to each person. Guests usually wait__13__everyone at their table has been served before they begin to__14__.Hands may be used to eat foods__15__hamburgers, raw fruits, fried chicken and sandwiches.
It is all right to say, “No, thank you” when you are offered a(n)__16__serving of food.__17__more food if you want it, however, as the offer might not be repeated. Most Americans think it is__18__to insist that people have__19__food after they have refused a second serving. Eating all of the food on your plate indicates you have__20__the meal; it does not indicate that more food should be served.
1. A．plan B．prepare
C．make D．bring
解析：选A。根据上句．..tell your host if you have any dietary restrictions可知，he or she应该是“预先准备”，而B项“prepare a meal”means“get food ready to be eaten”饭做好了，准备吃。C、D两项只强调动作。
2．A.giving B．allowing
C．served D．permitted
解析：选C。此句意思是“饭前可能会上一些鸡尾酒或其他饮料”。C项serve意思是“为……提供(服务等)。”且此句的主语是cocktails or other drinks，因此要使用被动语态。
3．A.receive B．prefer
C．refuse D．accept
解析：选D。由下句．..if you do not want one可推测出该句意思为，“你不想要的话，就没有必要接受……”，因此选D项。
4．A.drink B．take with
C．ask for D．be served
解析：选C。此句顺承上句，意思是“(你要是不喝酒)，可以要些果汁或其他的软(不合酒精的)饮料”。
5．A.morning B．afternoon
C．evening D．noon
解析：选C。由下文“家人和孩子们坐在一起，谈一谈趣闻”可推知，这应该是家长下班、孩子放学后，聚在一起吃的晚餐。
6．A.included B．including
C．consisting of D．consisted of
解析：选B。本句意思应为“家庭成员包括孩子……”。C、D两项中的consist of后接组成某事/物的内容，且不用被动形式。
7．A.places B．topics
C．people D．news
解析：选B。此处指晚饭前话题的内容，通常所涉及的应是一些大家感兴趣的话题。
8．A.join in B．join
C．take part D．take side
解析：选A。此处指参加到某一活动中去，构成的是join sb. in (doing) sth.。C项的完整形式应是take part in；D项take side意思是“支持”。
9．A.channels B．means
C．directions D．ways
解析：选D。根据下文所提及的几种方式，应该选择ways。其他词在意义上与文章内容不符。
10．A.passing B．collecting
C．starting D．giving
解析：选A。由本句中．.from one to another around the dining table可推知，此种方式是一种比较随意的方式，一种大家动手，相互帮助的就餐方式。因此用passing。
11．A.visitors B．guests
C．hosts D．children
解析：选B。通过对三种就餐方式的对比，我们可知“buffet style”是一种自助餐模式，是“客人自己动手”的模式。
12．A.for B．under
C．in D．with
解析：选D。由此处的语法结构可知，应使用with的复合结构形式。
13．A.until B．unless
C．after D．soon
解析：选A。此句意思是“客人们通常会等到每个人的面前都有了(饭菜)，才开始(吃)”。根据此意应选择A项，意思是“直到……才……”。
14．A.have B．drink
C．start D．eat
解析：选D。由此句意思可知应选择eat。
15．A.for example B．such as
C．just like D．just as
解析：选B。此处指列举事物，故选B项。for example＝ as an example例如，作插入语，用来引出人、物或事，使之作为例子来支持前面的说法，其基本作用是“例证”，一般要用逗号与其他部分隔开；such as＝like。
16．A.first B．another
C．second D．rest
解析：选C。由下文．..as the offer might not be repeated ...a second serving.可知，此处指再次上(饭菜)。
17．A.Accept B．Ask
C．Get D．Forget
解析：选A。由下句．..as the offer might not be repeated可知，上饭菜时，要留够自己吃的。
18．A.polite B．impolite
C．good D．important
解析：选B。由下句．.. insist that people have__19__food after they have...可知，美国人认为强让人多吃是不礼貌的。
19．A.less B．fewer
C．plentiful D．more
解析：选D。此句意思是“已经拒绝了(饭菜)，再强让人吃更多，这通常是不礼貌的”。
20．A.had B．eaten
C．enjoyed D．treated
解析：选C。由句意可知：吃光自己盘子里的(饭莱)，这表明你对饭菜满意，不表明你还想要更多的(饭菜)。
Ⅴ.阅读理解
In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Serving in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
1．Which statement about American people is TRUE?
A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.
B．A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.
C．American people never sit with people they don’t know.
D．American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第一自然段的最后一句可知本题选D。
2．What is served before you order?
A．bread. B．butter.
C．coffee. D．cold water.
解析：选D。细节理解题。由第二自然段的第一句中的tap water可知此处选D。
3．What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?
A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.
B．They leave the food on the table and go away.
C．They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.
D．They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.
解析：选C。细节理解题。由第四自然段的后两句可知本题选C。
4．Sunday dinner is________.
A．a dinner in the evening
B．a big noon meal
C．a big lunch on Sunday
D．a supper on Sunday
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第五自然段的最后一句可知本题选B。

M：Now，here’s a story about Captain Cook.He is a famous British navigator and explorer.And he is the man who put Australia on the map.In the early 18th century，Captain Cook saw an unusual animal eating grass in the distance during his first visit to Australia.The animal had a long tail and jumped along on its large legs.To his great surprise，the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh.Captain Cook pointed at the animal and asked a native guide what the animal was.But the guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said “Kang-a-roo”．When Captain Cook asked the native people about the unusual animal using the name “Kang-a-roo”，they looked puzzled.Later，Captain Cook discovered what the native guide really meant by saying “Kang-a-roo” and laughed.In fact，“Kang-a-roo” refers to “I don’t know what you are pointing at.” Funny enough，the name “Kang-a-roo” is still in use today.

He looked into the room—no one was there.Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill(窗台) and jumped into the room.Just then he heard a noise.Then someone turned on a light in the corridor(走廊)．Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa.One minute later，Mr.Mannering，the headmaster，came in.He turned on the light on his desk，and sat down on the sofa.Then he opened a book and began to read.Bob stayed under the sofa as quietly as possible.He couldn’t move.The floor was cold and uncomfortable.He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.

If you have a chance to go to school in America，you should keep the following in mind：
If a teacher asks you a question，you are expected to give an answer.If you do not understand the question，you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question.It is all right to tell your teacher that you do not know the answer.Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework.If you are absent，you should call your teacher or your classmates and ask for the homework.It is your responsibility to find out what homework you have missed.
It is impolite to eat，drink or chew gum during class.This is allowed for the break.Removing one’s shoes in the classroom is also impolite.
You must not be absent on a test day.If you are seriously ill，you must call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test.If your teacher allows a make?up (补考)，you should take it within one or two days after returning to class.
It is rude to be late.If you must come in late，be sure to do it quietly by having your books and papers out of your bag，then go to your seat and sit very quietly.In the US，it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom.Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.
Copying another student’ s test or paper is never acceptable.It is called cheating.Students who cheat are kicked out in most schools.

Everyone can hardly manage to live without friendship.As we all know，in our life，all of us are sure to meet with all kinds of hardships，such as illness，accidents and other disasters.If we have no friend to help us out of these difficulties，we can hardly make a fresh start.Everyone needs support in feeling，yet your family members can’t always give you so much support because of all kinds of reasons.At this time a true friend is very important.When you have made great progress in your work，you need a friend to share your pleasure.On the other hand when you suffer a terrible loss in life，you need a friend to listen to you and open your heart to him.Of course，everyone has to die，and when you are dying，how you wish your friend to understand you and help your folks!
Since friendship is so important，we should try to make some true friends.How to find friends? A friend should first be true，pure，kind，friendly，enthusiastic and of course stress feeling and like to help others.If you can find a person with the same belief and interest，it is surely much better.Remember when you have found an ideal person to be your friend，it doesn’t mean he or she will be your friend.You should open your heart，feeling and wish to him or her to gain his or her heart and feeling.When you have got a good friend，please remember that friends should try to help and support each other.When your friend has done something which doesn’t satisfy you so much，you should try to understand him.When your friend has done something wrong you should try to forgive him.If so，your friend will be deeply thankful to you for your forgiveness.Your life will prove your most valuable possession (财产) is your friend.

Every people uses its own special word to show its ideas and feelings.Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years.One such American expression is “Where’s the beef？” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be.In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef？” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States.It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.
Beef，of course，is the meat from a cow，and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made of beef.In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price.Ray called this“ McDonald’s”．Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.
Other business people watched his success.Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants.One company called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else.Wendy’s Company began to use the expression“ Where’s the beef？” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest.The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers.The bread that covered the meat was very big，but inside there was only a bit of meat.One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Where’s the beef？” she shouted in a funny way.The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurant was a success.As we said，it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef？”

M：Not too well，I’m afraid.
W：Did you go to see the doctor this morning?
M：No，I didn’t.I think I just need some sleep and I’ll be OK.
W：Listen，why don’t you go to see the doctor？There is a clinic on Lincoln Street.It’s not far from your apartment.
M：I don’t want to go to see the doctor for a common cold.I know I’ll be all right after a night’s sleep.

W：Hi，glad you could finally see me in my office.
M：I made a fool of myself in the lift.
W：What happened?
M：Well，your office is on the second floor.I tried to take the elevator up to the first floor.
W：Ha，I see.So in your country，where is the first floor?
M：It’s up one story.The bottom level is called the ground floor.I sure feel stupid.
W：When I was in America I had a similar problem.The hotel I stayed in didn’t have a 13th floor.I took the lift up and put my bags in my room on the 14th floor，and then I went out to get something to eat.When I came back I decided to take the stairs up to my room and you can imagine what happened.
M：They didn’t mark the floor numbers in the stair well，right?
W：Right.I ended up getting lost.

M：A person’s intelligence is decided by two factors.The first is the kind of brain he is born with.A person will have a low level of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn，so the second factor is the kind of environment that affects him.
The importance of environment can be shown by the case history of the twins，Peter and John.When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate homes.Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.John，however，was educated in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.The environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens.When they were given tests to measure their intelligence，John’s IQ was 25.25 points higher than the average and 40 points higher than that of his identical brother.
答案：1～5.CABCA 6～10.BCABA 11～15.CACBB
16～17.AB 18.environment 19.well-to-do 20.identical

21．When and where to go for the holiday still________.
A．are remained to decide
B．is remaining to decide
C．remain to be decided
D．remains to be decided
解析：选D。remain后可跟动词不定式，句中 when and where作remain的主语，故谓语用单数；decide与其逻辑主语是被动关系，故用动词不定式的被动形式。
22．How terrible! The truck hit the wall to avoid________the child.
A．hurt B．to hurt
C．hurts D．hurting
解析：选 D。avoid doing sth.“避免干某事”，故选D。

A．a; the B．the; the

—________She is willing to play against any tough players.
A．I think so. B．I’m not surprised.
C．Of course. D．Not likely!
解析：选D。此题考查交际用语。句意：“——她介意对抗她以前的队友吗？”“——不可能介意，她愿意与任何厉害的对手打比赛。”根据答语部分的信息可知，说话者认为她不介意，故D项是最佳选项。I think so“我认为介意”；I’m not surprised“我并不感到惊奇”，没有回答对方的问题；Of course“当然介意了”。
26．I have offered to paint the house________a week’s accommodation.
A．in exchange for B．with regard to

29．The reason________his being late was________he got up late.
A．why; that B．why; because
C．for; that D．for; because

A．Compare B．When comparing
C．Comparing D．When compared
解析：选D。句意：和太阳这样的普通星球相比，地球实际上非常小。when compared with＝when the earth is compared with... 。
31．I don’t believe the reason________he has given for his absence.
A．why B．for
C．what D．that
解析：选D。先行词在定语从句中作宾语，而不是原因状语，故应用that引导定语从句。
32．The police are offering a $ 60,000________for information about the killer.
A．price B．prize
C．award D．reward
解析：选D。句意：警方正悬赏6万美元寻找能查出凶手的线索。price“价格”；prize“奖金，奖品”；award“奖，奖品”；reward“报酬，酬金”。由句意可知选D项。

A
My friend Paul will never forget his first chemistry teacher. He was a little man with thick glasses, but he had a strange way of making his classes lively and interesting. And his lessons were not easily forgotten.
Paul remembers one of his first lessons from this teacher. After the students were all in the chemistry lab, the teacher took out three bottles. One was filled with petrol, one with castor oil (蓖麻油) and one with vinegar (醋). “Now watch carefully，” said the teacher.
He then filled a cup with some of the petrol, some of the castor oil and some of the vinegar. As the students watched him quietly, he mixed the three together. After that, he held up one of his fingers and showed it to the class. He then dipped it into the cup. After a few seconds he took his finger out. “Now watch，” he said. “Remember, you_must_do_everything_as_I_do.”
He put a finger in his mouth, tasted it and smiled, looking rather pleased. Then he handed the cup around the class of students. Each student dipped a finger into the mixture and sucked (吮吸) it. Instead of smiling, each of them made a face. The mixture tasted terrible.
When the cup was at last returned to the teacher, he said sadly, “I’ m sorry none of you watched carefully enough. Yes, sucked a finger, but the finger I put into my mouth was not the one I had dipped into the cup. ”
It was Paul’s first important lesson as a student of chemistry and he will never forget it.

Many processes within our bodies are timed to a cycle of about twenty-four hours. If the body temperature is taken every hour or so throughout the day and night, each person is found to have a certain pattern. The temperature rises and falls by about two degrees every twenty-four hours. Some people’s temperatures rise very rapidly after awakening and then begin to fall in the afternoon and evening. For others their temperatures rise very slowly at first, reach a peak in the late afternoon or evening, and do not begin to drop until quite late in the day. In all cases, a person’s temperature is at its lowest during the time of sleep. People tend to feel most wide-awake and can work best at the high point of their temperature. You may have noticed that some people jump out of bed bright and early and are cheerful and active during the early part of the day, then grow tired in the evening and go to bed quite early. Others find it difficult to get up in the morning and do not seem able to get along very well until afternoon; during the evening, they are wide-awake and hate to go to bed. People can usually adjust to a different schedule if necessary, but it seems to be more difficult for some people than for others.
【解题导语】很多体内活动以24小时为一个周期进行循环，不同的人在不同的时间体温变化不同，人的精力在时间上的表现也不同。

Of all the websites, one that has attracted attention recently is MySpace. com. Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason why the website should be shut down. The threat of Internet predators (掠夺者) is indeed a tough reality, but shutting down the site is not the answer. If MySpace. com were shut down, another site would quickly take its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them about who may be predators and how to avoid them.
The key to staying safe on the Internet is to make sure that your profile (个人资料) is secure. The simplest way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”， which protects your information so that only the people on your friend list can view it. Although this is effective, it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to, whether through hacking in or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal information. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and other personal information, often letting predators know exactly where they will be and when. The safest information is your first name and province. Anything more is basically inviting a predator into your life.
Another big issue is photos. I suggest completely skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without asking for permission.
Most importantly, never, under any circumstances, agree to a real-life meeting with anyone you meet online. No matter how well you think you know this person, there are no guarantees that they have told the truth. But you could feel free to chat with people you meet on the site, but just remember that not everyone is who they say they are. Hopefully, the next time you edit your profile, you ’ ll be more informed of the dangers of Internet predators and take the steps to defend yourself.

It is important to make your child interested in science from an early age. Most young children ask a lot of questions and you should give careful scientific answers. Don’t only give facts, but try to give explanations.
Science is not just knowledge; it is a way of thinking, a method of finding out about the world. We see something. We try to explain it, and we test our idea by setting up an experiment. One day you come home and find the plant on the table has fallen down. You think it might be the wind from the open window or the cat, so you close the window, but leave the cat in and see what happens ( you can also try leaving the window open and shutting the cat out). Of course, you remember there may be a third explanation.
Ask your child to get a piece of string, some salt, a glass of water and an ice cube. Tell him/her to put the ice in the water, and then put one end of the string on the ice, leaving the other end over the side of the glass. Put a little salt on the ice. Wait a minute, and then pull the string; it should be attached to the ice.Ask the child, “What has happened？”
Probably he/she won’t know. Ask him/her whether fresh water or salt water freezes into ice first. If you live near the sea and have a cold winter, he/she should know fresh water freezes first as he/she will have seen that happened. Show him/her how to test the idea by half filling two paper cups (they must be the same, or it is not a good experiment) with water, adding salt to one. Then put them in the icebox and check every three minutes. Write the results in a table. The conclusion will be that salt changes the behavior of water. Thinking about the string, we see the salt turned some of the ice into water. Then the salt went away into the water, and the ice froze again leaving the string attached.
Then you can ask, “Will water with salt boil at the same temperature as water without salt？” He/She can think, tell you his/her idea and (taking care because of the heat) you can test it in the kitchen.
【解题导语】本文主要举例说明了应如何使孩子对科学感兴趣。
68．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．What’s science
B．A simple experiment with salt and water
C．How to teach your child science

解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据“Wait a minute，and then pull the string; it should be attached to the ice.”可知，it在此指string。
70．From the passage, we know that________.
A．fresh water freezes into ice first
B．salt water freezes into ice first
C．fresh water and salt water freeze at the same speed
D．water with salt boils at the same temperature as water without salt
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的”．..he/she should know fresh water freezes first...”可知答案。
71．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．You can tell your child nothing about the facts, but you must give explanations when your child asks you some scientific questions.
B．The author asks us to test our idea by carrying out an experiment.
C．The author often finds his plant falls off the table.

In Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a “gap year”， a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.
Charles Deacon is the dean of admissions at Georgetown University in Washington D. C．.He estimates that in the current first-year class of 1,600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. He says this number hasn’t changed much over the years.
Mr. Deacon says the most common reason for taking a “gap year” is to have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a “gap year” to meet requirements at home for military duty.
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.
The Harvard Admissions Office has an essay on its website called “Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation”. It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies. It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.
Of course, a “gap year” is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.
Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their “gap year”. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.
【解题导语】在英国和其他一些国家，学生在高中毕业后、上大学前有一年的时间可以不去上学，这段时间可以被用来参加社会实践，人们把这段时间称为”gap year”。目前，一些大学鼓励学生利用这段时间去更多地体验生活，一些家长却深表担忧，认为这样有可能会耽误孩子的前程。
72．What is the passage mainly about?
A．More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.
B．If you want to go to an American university, take a “gap year” first.
C．It is likely that taking a “gap year” is becoming popular in America.
D．The Americans hold different opinions on students’ taking a “gap year”．
解析：选C。主旨大意题。结合第一段以及最后一段的后半部分可推测C项正确。
73．How many reasons for students’ taking a “gap year” are mentioned in the passage?
A．2 B．3
C．4 D．5
解析：选C。细节理解题。结合第三段和第四段可知这四种原因分别是to travel, to meet requirements at home for military duty, to recover after twelve years of required education, to explore their interests.。
74．The essay “Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation” suggests that________.
A. every student must take a “gap year” before applying for a famous university
B．some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences
C．taking a “gap year” can make students free from life learning
D．the stress of studies does harm to students’ health
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据本段最后一句可知哈佛大学和其他一些大学录取这些学生的部分原因是他们曾经在这一年中做过一些非同寻常的事情，由此可推测一些著名大学鼓励学生更多地去体验生活。
75．What can we learn from the passage?
A. Books and media have contributed to students’ interest in school learning.
B．Charles Deacon doesn’t support the idea of students’ taking a “gap year”．
C．Parents might disagree with the program，concerned about their children’s future.
D．Experts agree taking a year off will benefit students emotionally and physically.
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知父母对这个计划深表担忧，认为有可能会耽误孩子的前程。D项中的emotionally and physically与第五段中的emotionally and intellectually不吻合。

请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21．Everything comes with________price; there is no such________thing as a free lunch in the world.
A．a; a B．the; /
C．the; a D．a; /
解析：选D。句意：一切都有代价，世界上没有免费的午餐。no such后不用任何冠词，因此排除A、C两项；the price是特指，表示“那个价格，那种代价”，不合句意。
22．The palace caught fire three times in the last century, and little of the original building________now.
A．remains B．is remained
C．is remaining D．has been remained
解析：选A。句意：这座宫殿在上个世纪发生过三次火灾，其最初的建筑现在已所剩无几。首先remain为系动词，没有被动语态形式，排除B、D两项；remain 一般不用于进行时态，故选A。
23．An experienced doctor usually judges a patient’s illness according to the various________.
A．signs B．symptoms
C．symbols D．marks
解析：选B。考查名词辨析。句意为：有经验的医生通常根据病人不同的症状判断疾病。symptom“症状”；sign“标志，迹象”；symbol“象征”；mark“记号”。
24．Although the necklace is not made of real crystal, it still________young people.
A．appeals to B．attracts to
C．accounts for D．apply for
解析：选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意：尽管这条项链不是真正的水晶项链，它仍然很吸引年轻人。appeal to sb.恳求，呼吁，对某人有吸引力，使某人感兴趣；attract“吸引”，是及物动词，可直接跟宾语；account for“是……的原因”；apply for“申请”。
25．The plan________encourage the employees to improve their work turned out to be a success.
A．having designed to B．designed to
C．to design to D．designing to
解析：选B。句意：所设计的鼓励雇员们改进工作的计划证明是一件成功的事。空格处用分词形式，因为design与plan是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语，在此表示被动与完成。
26．________is now no________that global warming is a security threat to us all.
A．There；doubt B．There；need
C．It；doubt D．It；need
解析：选A。There is no doubt that...“……毫无疑问”，为固定搭配。There is no need that...“……没有必要”。

A．is the story interesting
B．was the story interesting
C．the story is interesting
D．the story was interested
解析：选B。考查倒装结构。not only虽然不在整个句子的句首，但是在宾语从句的句首，所以仍然需要把but also 之前的部分倒装。
28．________，she is the sort of woman to spread sunshine to people through her smile.
A．Shy and cautious
B．Sensitive and thoughtful
C．Honest and confident
D．Light-hearted and optimistic
解析：选D。句意：豁达而乐观使她成为了能用自己的微笑把阳光传递给他人的那种女人。A项意思是“害羞而小心”；B项意思是“敏感而多虑”；C项意思是“诚实而自信”；D项意思是“豁达而乐观”，根据句意和语法应选D项。
29．Children who are not active or________diet is high in fat will gain weight quickly.
A．what B．whose
C．which D．that
解析：选B。句意：不活跃或者饮食中脂肪含量高的孩子很容易发胖。该句由or连接两个并列的定语从句，第二个定语从句由whose引导，whose在从句中作定语，修饰主语diet。
30．—Her father is very rich.
—________She wouldn’t accept his help even if it were offered.
A．What for? B．So what?
C．No doubt. D．No wonder.
解析：选B。句意：“她的父亲很富有。”“那又怎样？即使他提供给她帮助，她也会拒绝。”What for? 为了什么？So what? 那又怎样？No doubt.毫无疑问；No wonder.难怪。根据语境选B项。
31．—Have you found the man who bought the ticket for you?
—I forgot to ask anything about him.________I knew his name and address.
A．Only if B．What if
C．As if D．If only
解析：选D。考查if短语用法。only if只是，在……的时候；what if如果……将会怎么样；as if似乎；if only 要是……就好了。根据句意可知此处表示“要是知道他的名字和地址就好了。”
32．To get a better grade，you should ________ the notes again before the test.
A．go over B．get over
C．turn over D．take over
解析：选A。句意：为了取得更好的成绩，考试前你应该再复习一下笔记。go over“复习”，符合句意。get over“恢复；克服”；turn over“移交给；翻转”；take over“接管”。
33．This pair of scissors________to the tailor.
A．is belonged B．are belonged
C．belongs D．belong
解析：选C。考查主谓一致及动词的用法。this pair of scissors是一把剪刀，这里表示整体所以用单数，排除B、D项。belong无被动语态，故选C。
34．Doctors are doing research to find out what happens physically when people________smoking.
A．quit B．decline
C．depart D．reserve
解析：选A。句意：医生正在对人们戒烟后身体会发生什么变化进行研究。quit 戒掉，离开；decline下倾，下降，下垂；depart离开，起程；reserve储备，保存，预约。根据句意且主语是人可知，是停止吸烟。
35．—How about going swimming this afternoon? It’s such a wonderful day!
—________I’d rather stay at home to listen to music.
A．Good idea! B．Why not?
C．It’s up to you. D．It’s’ not my cup of tea.
解析：选D。考查情景交际。Good idea! 和Why not? 都用来表示赞同某人的提议，但根据答句的“我宁愿呆在家里听音乐”可知，第二个说话人对对方的提议并不赞成，故排除A、B；It’s up to you.意为“由你决定”；It’s not my cup of tea.意为“它不合我的口味”。综上所述，根据句意可知正确答案为D。
第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

New train route opens from China to Germany
A container(集装箱 ) train left Beijing on Wednesday on its way to Hamburg, Germany. The new service was welcomed as real progress made in international rail cooperation.
The train will travel about 9,800 kilometers through six countries, including China, Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany. The trip has gained support from those in customs declaration and clearance.
Zheng Mingli, chairman of China Container Transportation , said, “This can be seen as a breakthrough in our cooperation. Today, railway officials from six countries are here to witness this event. This is very important to the development of the Asia-Europe Continental Bridge. This means of transportation has great potential for the countries involved. ”
Cargo on board includes electronic products, textiles and shoes. The trip to Hamburg, Germany will take 18 days. The same trip would take at least 40 days by container ship.
Thomas Palczewski, vice-president of Polish National Railway, said, “There is big potential for container transportation to Europe. The ceremony today shows that it will bring big benefits to all of us. So we hope that it will not only be a pilot train, but a permanent connection between China and Europe. ”
Railway officials from the six countries will discuss detailed measures to advance container transportation.
Experts expect that the new land route will take a big slice of the pie of Chinese-EU trade. But improvements in Chinese railway networks will still matter. China has plans to invest huge amounts of money to build up 18 railway container terminals in the coming five years.

C
Frankly, I appreciate myself very much. Yes, I admit I’ m in many respects not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’ m always not good. When I find what I’ ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify myself.
True, I’ m not modest at all. People may call me conceited(自负的). But I think otherwise.
I also appreciate other people. I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others ?
We Chinese are generally inclined (倾向的 ) to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese person will call his own wife zhuojing,_meaning “my humble wife”， and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic(乡巴佬的 ) woman” or his writings “trash” , he would, I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you respectively.
I don’t think it’ s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’ re really worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging(蔑视) a melon peddler, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’ t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?
Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations of us intellectuals(知识分子)，were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.
Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication (贡献) and enjoyment of work. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases to admire his own essays.
Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pens.

Bored? Don’t know what to do with your time? Get your friends or family together, go to the park or go hiking, do something fun—just don’t turn on your TV.
The 10th annual TV-Turnoff Week starts on Monday. The TV-Turnoff Network, a non-profit organization, began the program in 1994 to get children and adults to watch less television so that their time might be spent doing more productive things. This year, millions of people will participate and find much more interesting things to do besides sitting in front of the television.
Experts are convinced(确信 ) that watching too much TV keeps kids from participating in healthy physical activities. The average household has a television on for 7 hours and 40 minutes a day! Kids spend more time watching TV than they spend in school. Turning off the TV gives you a chance to be with your family and friends. Going without it frees up valuable time that could be spent reading a good book, writing, drawing, or discovering something else that may interest you.
There are many organizations that support TV-Turnoff Week, including Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, Girl Scouts USA, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Even First Lady Laura Bush is a supporter. “Television is no substitute for a parent. It doesn’t help develop language skills; it’ s simply background noise，” says Mrs. Bush.
Even kids who may not have liked going without TV have discovered the benefits. “I really didn’t like TV-Turnoff Week until I did notice that my grades went up and I was in a good mood all week，” said Drew Henderson, a student in Donora, Pennsylvania.
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了美国举行“远离电视周”活动的情况。

A. the first woman to support TV-Turnoff Week
B．the wife of American President
C．the first woman to organize TV-Turnoff Week
D．the first lady in Boys and Girls Clubs of America

A. he doesn’t like TV-Turnoff Week
B．he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week at all
C．it’ s unnecessary to have TV-Turnoff Week

E
America’s youth were very fond of cowboy movies and cowboy radio programs in the 1930’ s and 1940’ s, and in the 1950’ s joyfully watched their cowboy heroes on television. During that period, there were some guitars produced with stenciled cowboy paintings. They were made of wood, not like the toy—like variety made of card-board or plastic.
In the fall of 1932, Sears & Roebuck introduced their first stencil painted cowboy guitar, the Gene Autry “Round-Up” guitar. This was before Autry had started his movie career, but he did have a popular radio program on station WLS out of Chicago. This station was owned by Sears & Roebuck; the letters WLS stood for World’ s Largest Store.
The Gene Autry “Round-Up” guitar could be got from 1932 through 1938 and then was slowly changed to the Gene Autry “Melody Ranch” model, produced from 1941 through 1955. The same stencil was also used on a small Silvertone guitar, but with no Gene Autry signature(签名)．
Gene Autry, “The Singing Cowboy” , had a box-office competitor known as the “King of the Cowboys”， Roy Rogers. Gene, Roy and many of the cowboy movie stars were great role models. Their movies would show the main character fighting for what is right and morally correct while providing exciting entertainment. The “Roy Rogers” guitar was sold by Sears & Roebuck from 1954 through 1958.
The “Buck Jones” guitar invented by Montgomery Ward had a particularly attractive painting. Buck Jones died a real-life hero trying to save people’s lives in a night-club fire in 1942. The “Plainsman” had a painting like a scene right out of the 1936 Gary Cooper movie called The Plainsman. During the war years of 1942 and 1943, an unusual variety of “Plainsman” was produced.
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了“牛仔吉他”的出现和发展。
72．Cowboy paintings stenciled on the guitars showed that ________.
A．cowboys were popular with people then
B．people liked the paintings cowboys painted
C．cowboys always carried the guitars
D．cowboys often appeared in the films
解析：选A。推理判断题。由文章第一段可知，那时的吉他常刻有牛仔图案，这说明当时牛仔深受人们的欢迎。故答案选A。
73．Which of the following guitars appeared in the 1930’s?
A．The “Buck Jones” guitar.
B．The “Roy Rogers” guitar.
C．The “Melody Ranch” guitar
D．The Gene Autry “Round-Up” guitar.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文章可知，在这几种吉他中，只有The Gene Autry“Round-Up”guitar是在20世纪30年代出现的。故答案选D。
74．How many types of guitars are mentioned in the passage?
A．Four. B．Five.
C．Six. D．Seven.
解析：选C。细节理解题。文中除了提到第72题四个选项中的吉他外，还提到了Silvertone guitar和Plainsman guitar。
75．According to the passage, we know that________.
A. the “Melody Ranch” guitar had no Gene Autry signature
B．the “Roy Rogers” guitar was in honor of a musician
C．the “Plainsman” guitar was affected by a movie
D．the “Buck Jones” guitar was named after a movie
解析：选C。细节理解题。由文章第三段可知，the“Melody Ranch”guitar应该是有签名的，所以选项A不对；文章第四段提到Roy Rogers是一个电影明星，所以选项B不对；the“Buck Jones”guitar中 Buck Jones是人名，而不是电影名，所以选项D不对；the“Plainsman”guitar当时就是受到了电影The Plainsman的影响，故答案选C。

答案：76.a→an。interesting是以元音音素开头的，所以其前应用冠词an。
77．去掉to。could是情态动词，其后接动词原形，所以要去掉to。
78．So→But。前后构成逻辑上的转折关系，所以要用but。
79．cheer→ cheered。回忆比赛时的情景，要用一般过去时。
80．fast→faster。faster and faster意为“越来越快”。
81．up后加with。catch up with是固定短语，意为“赶上”。
82．At→In
83．proudly→proud。此处要用形容词(proud)作felt的表语。
84．classmate→classmates。根据句意此处应用复数形式(classmates)。
85．me→myself。find oneself in bed意为“发现自己躺在床上”，动作的承受者是主语本身时常用反身代词作宾语。

Dear_Jack，
I’m_very_happy_to_hear_from_you_again. Thank you for the T-shirt with Harry Potter on it and I like it very much. As you know, Harry Potter is my favourite film hero. Every time I wear it, I will think of you.
I’m fine here in the new school and everything goes well. The only problem is that my English teacher speaks more English in classes and I find it hard to follow her.
In return for your gift, I will send you a T-shirt with Yao Ming on it because I know you are a fan of him.
How are you doing in England? And I hope you can pay a visit to China some day.

My New English Teacher
Dear Robbie，
It’s been a long time since we left our junior middle school.How is everything going?
I do enjoy the new school life here.I’ve met quite a lot of new teachers and schoolmates，and they are all very kind to me.Do you still remember how I hated English？But I’m pretty crazy about this subject now.Unbelievable，isn’t it？Well，I never thought that a teacher would change my attitude towards English learning，but it just happened.
Mr. Mills is our English teacher，and I’m very much impressed by his devotion to teaching.He always prepares his lessons well before class and acts out what he wants to teach in class.While he is teaching，he walks about，using his arms，hands and fingers to help him in his explanations，and his face to express feelings.We can hear the loudness and the musical tone of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.He believes that no class hour is successful if the students and the teachers can’t share several chuckles and at least one loud laugh.Through his sense of humour，he has made learning more enjoyable.Besides，he helps us to learn English in an imaginative way，using such aids as paintings，recordings，cartoons，and flash cards.This morning，he even sang a song in class to explain a grammatical rule in the coursebook.Furthermore，I admire the fact that he likes to meet with students outside of the classroom to discuss different subjects in English，ranging from the Internet to pop music.Once he even challenged one of my classmates to a game of Chinese chess.
Do you like your teachers there？Please don’t forget to tell me something about your new school life.OK？I just can’t wait to get your letter.
Yours，
Tony

我的新英语老师
亲爱的罗比：
从我们初中毕业到现在，已有好长一段时间了。你近来好吗？
我真的很喜欢新学校的生活。我遇见了很多新老师和新同学，他们对我都很好。你还记得我以前是多么讨厌学英语吗？但现在我对它简直着了迷。难以置信，是吧？我以前从未想过一位老师会改变我对英语学习的态度，但这事确实发生了。
米尔斯先生是我们的英语老师。我印象最深的是他对教学的热诚。他总是在课前充分准备，在课上把他要讲的东西演出来。上课时，他在教室里走动着，利用手臂、手和手指帮助讲解，还利用他的脸部表情来表达他的情感。根据所讲内容的不同，我们总能听见他声音大小、音调高低的变化。在他看来，如果师生在一堂课上没有几次会心的笑声或至少一次开怀大笑，就不是一堂成功的课。由于他的幽默，使得我们的英语学习更有趣。而且，他利用像油画、唱片、漫画和动画等辅助物，让我们用一种极富想像力的方法来学英语。今天上午，他还在课上唱了一首歌来解释一条语法规则。此外，更让我钦佩的是他经常在课后与学生们在一起，用英语交谈从因特网到流行音乐的不同话题。有一次，他还找我们班的一个同学比赛下中国象棋。
你喜欢你学校的老师吗？别忘了下次写信告诉我你在新学校的生活情况，好吗？我简直等不及想收到你的来信了。
你的，
托尼

The Personal Qualities of a Teacher
What personal qualities should a teacher have？I think most of us would accept the following answer.
Firstly，a teacher should be attractive.That doesn’t mean that the teacher should be good-looking，because teachers who are not good-looking might also have their personal charm.Anyway，they shouldn’t be boring.
Secondly，it is basic for a teacher to be sympathetic－to understand the minds and feelings of other people.Closely related to this is the ability to be tolerant－not indeed of what is wrong，but of the weakness of human beings which may lead people，especially children，to make mistakes.
Thirdly，a teacher should be a bit of an actor.That is a useful skill for teaching，which means that every now and then a teacher should act as an actor to make his lesson lively and interesting.
Fourthly，a teacher must show his great patience somtimes.This is mainly a matter of self-training.No one is born like that.Teaching takes great energy and a teacher should be able to deal with problem children.
Finally，a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning.Teaching is a job which a teacher will never be perfect in.There is always something more to learn about it.There are three main aspects of study：the subjects which the teacher is teaching；the methods the teacher is using；the students whom the teacher is teaching.The two main rules of education today are that education is education of the whole person，and that it needs full and active cooperation between the teacher and the students.,教师的个人品质
一名教师应具有什么样的个人品质呢？我想大多数人会接受以下观点。
首先，教师应该有人格魅力。这并不意味着教师要长得好看，因为相貌不好看的教师也可能具有他们的个人魅力。无论如何，他们不应该让人觉得厌烦。
第二，教师最基本的是要有同情心——去理解他人的内心和感受。与此紧密相关的是宽容的能力——不是宽容错误，而是宽容人性中的不成熟，正是这种不成熟使人，尤其是孩子犯错误。
第三，教师应该有点像演员。演技是教学技巧的一个方面，意思是教师时而应表演一下，使他的课更生动有趣。
第四，教师必须有无限的耐心。这主要是通过自我训练获得。我们没有一个人生来就有这种耐心。教学需要教师付出极大的努力，教师也应该能与难管教的孩子打交道。
最后，教师应当有一颗永远渴望学习的心。教书是一个你永远无法做到尽善尽美的职业，总是有更多要学的东西。主要有三个要学习的方面：教师所教授的科目，所使用的教学方法和所教的那些学生。当今教育的两大原则是，教育是对人的全面培养，同时，它需要教师与学生这两者之间完全的、积极的合作。第二单元

A Diary from Brian
Oct.18，Thursday Sunny
“Keep your eyes on your own paper” is one of the rules that Mrs. Archer has taught us.It is a simple rule，but it’s not a rule everybody chooses to follow.
This morning，I had an experience with a “rule breaker” during an English exam.I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely.I turned my head quickly and saw James，who sat right behind me.My eyes caught his and he whispered，“I hope you studied for this test！”
I gave him a smile，not sure whether he was joking or not，and returned to my test.This time I leaned a little more closely towards my paper.“I can’t see！”James whispered.
“What am I going to do？”I thought to myself.Cheating went against my beliefs.Besides，I’d studied hard for the test.Clearly James hadn’t.Why would he do this？I curled my arm around my answers.
“He’s your friend，and what are friends for？”
“You know it’s wrong.”
I tapped the top of my desk，hoping for an easy way out of this matter.No easy answer came.I just knew I had to do what I felt was right，even if it made James mad.So I guarded my paper so that he couldn’t see my answers.
When the exam ended，I stood there for a moment，wondering what to say.As I stood there in silence，I felt it necessary to let him know cheating was wrong.And I didn’t want to destroy our friendship.My mind searched for the right words.
“Sorry，James，but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating，”I said slowly and gently.“But maybe I could help you study before the next test.”“OK，Brian，”he smiled slightly，“It might not be easy，but I’ll give it a try.”
I stood there for a moment more，finally able to breathe again.I felt relieved that my friendship with James hadn’t been destroyed.Mrs. Archer would be proud.,日记一则
10月18日 星期四 晴
“眼睛看着自己的试卷”是阿切尔老师教给我们的规则中的一条。这条规则虽简单，但却不是人人都会遵守的。
今天上午，在英语考试中，我就遇到了这么一个“违规者”。我察觉到有人在看我，并且也太近了一点。我迅速地回过头，看到坐在我正后方的詹姆斯。我们目光相遇，他轻声说：“我希望你为此次考试做了准备。”
我朝他微笑了一下，不确定他是否是在开玩笑，便又继续做我的试题。这回，我朝我试卷的方向倾得更近了。“我看不见！”詹姆斯低声说。
“我该怎么办？”我思考着。作弊违背了我的信念。另外，我已为此次考试而努力学习了。显然詹姆斯并没有。他怎么能这么做？我支起我的臂膀遮住所有的答案。
“他是你的朋友，而朋友的意义何在？”
“你知道这么做是错的。”
我轻敲着桌面，希望能够找到一个简单的方法来解决这个问题。但却不易。我只是觉得我应该做我认为正确的事，即使这样会使詹姆斯生气。因此，我护着我的试卷，使他不能看到我的答案。
当考试结束时，我在那儿站了一会儿，思考着应该说些什么。当我静静地站在那儿时，我觉得我应该让他知道作弊是错误的。并且我不想毁掉我们的友谊。我在脑海里搜寻着适当的话语。
“对不起，詹姆斯，我对作弊的看法你最清楚不过了。”我缓慢而轻柔地说。“或许我可以在下次考试前在学习上帮助你。”“好的，布莱恩，”他微微一笑，“这也许不容易，但我会试一试。”
我在那站了一会儿，最终可以再度呼吸。我为我们的友情没有被毁而感到欣慰。阿切尔老师会因此而感到骄傲的。

A Noble Heart
I was sleeping soundly last night when I was awakened by someone’s groans.I listened，and heard it was coming from Sam，a student from Africa.I really intended to go on sleeping，as I had insomnia and had just fallen asleep，but I couldn’t because Sam kept groaning louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.
At that time，Robbie，a student from China，also got up to help.We found some medicine，got some water，and helped Sam sit up to take it，hoping this would reduce his pain and tide over the difficult time.If only daytime would come soon，everything would become easier.
Things went contrary to our wishes.Sam’s condition went from bad to worse.We called the emergency service，and in no time an ambulance stopped in front of our gate.We helped the medical workers carry Sam to the vehicle，and then both Robbie and I got in and accompanied Sam to the hospital.
We helped him go through many checkups.After all kinds of tests，we were relieved to hear that the final diagnosis was appendicitis.Fortunately，Sam’s case didn’t need an operation because we brought him to the hospital in time.He got timely treatment.
At daybreak，Sam was much better.After we arranged everything with him，we rushed back to prepare ourselves for class.We were a little tired，but we had a noble feeling in our hearts.We had certainly done something good，something right.,崇高的心灵
昨夜，正当我熟睡时，我被呻吟声吵醒了。我听了听，是来自非洲的山姆同学在呻吟。我真得想继续睡，因为我患有失眠症，并且刚刚才睡着。可我不能这么做，因为山姆的呻吟声越来越大，这说明他病得很厉害。
此时，罗比，一个来自中国的学生也起来帮忙。我们找了些药，倒了水，并扶他起来吃了药，希望这样能够减轻他的痛苦并度过这困难时刻。要是能马上天亮就好了，那样所有的事情都要好办些。
事与愿违。山姆的病情越来越严重了。我们呼叫了急救服务，很快一辆救护车就停在了我们的大门前。我们协助医护人员扶山姆上了救护车，然后我和罗比陪山姆去了医院。
我们陪着山姆做了多项检查。所有的化验结果出来后，我们欣慰地得知最终的诊断只是盲肠炎。幸运的是由于送得及时，山姆并不需要动手术。山姆得到了及时的治疗。
天亮时，山姆好多了。我们为他安排妥当之后，赶回去准备上课。虽然我们有点儿累，但心中却有一种自豪感。我们做了件好事，一件正确的事。

The Animal School
Once upon a time，the animals set up a school.Their subjects consisted of running，climbing，swimming and flying.To make the school management easier，all the animals had to take all the subjects.
The duck was excellent in swimming，in fact better than her teacher，but she made only a passing grade in flying and was very poor in running.Because she was slow in running，she had to stay after school and also gave up swimming in order to practise running.She went on practising running until her webbed feet were badly worn.Finally，she didn’t pass the running test and was only average in swimming.But average was acceptable in school，so nobody worried about that except the duck herself.
The rabbit was at the top of the class in running，but felt extremely nervous in swimming class.Later，he had to leave school because again and again he couldn’t pass the swimming exam.
The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he was discouraged in the flying class when his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down.In the end，he got a “C” in climbing and a “D” in flying.
The eagle was a problem child and was strictly disciplined.In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree，but insisted on using his own way to get there.Because of this，he also got a “C” in climbing.
At the end of the year，a little eel that could swim very well，and also run，climb and fly a little had the highest average and got the scholarship.,动物学校
从前，动物们创办了一所学校。他们的学科包括跑步、攀登、游泳与飞行。为了使学校的管理更容易，所有的动物都必须学所有的学科。
小鸭游泳很优秀，实际上游得比老师还要好，但她飞行课刚刚及格，且跑步非常糟糕。因为她跑得慢，所以她放学后得留下来练习，她为了练习跑步而放弃了游泳。她坚持练习跑步，直到她那双蹼脚都磨烂了。最终，她不但没有通过跑步考试，游泳成绩也平平。因为这样的成绩在学校里是可以接受的，所以除了小鸭自己，没人担心这事儿。
小兔跑步在班上拔尖，可上游泳课时却极度紧张。后来，他不得不辍学，因为他游泳考试一而再、再而三地不及格。
小松鼠在飞行课上失去信心以前，他的攀登成绩一直是优秀的。在飞行课上，他的老师让他从地上往上爬，而不是从树梢上往下爬。最后，他的攀登得了“C”，飞行得了“D”。
小鹰是个问题儿童，因而受到了严格的管教。在攀登课上，他比其他人先爬到树梢，但他坚持用自己的方式攀登。因此，他的攀登也只得了“C”。
年终时，一条游泳游得不错，跑步、攀登、飞行都会一点点的小鳗鱼各科平均成绩得了最高分，也因此获得了奖学金。

School Education
In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life.Most countries also have private education.This means that parents can pay to have their children sent to certain schools.People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools.Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.
At the age of three，many children go to nursery school.Two or three years later，they enter a primary school.At the age of about 11 they go to a secondary school.In some countries this is called a high school.Children remain at their secondary school until they are between 16 and 18.Then they may have a chance of continuing their study at a university or college.
Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving high schools.Most university students study one main subject，though they may also study a number of others.Teaching is usually by lectures，or by discussions between a lecturer and a group of students.
Most students stay at their university for three or four years.At the end of that，they take an examination.If they pass，they receive their Bachelor’s degree，usually a BA(Bachelor of Arts)，or a BSc(Bachelor of Science)．Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degrees，such as an MA(Master of Arts) or a PhD(Doctor of Philosophy)．
Most university courses do not train students to do a particular job.Colleges，on the other hand，usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career，such as clothing design or business studies.
,学校教育
在大多数发达国家，政府为孩子提供免费的教育，因为政府意识到受过教育的公民将来会对国家有用的。大多数国家也有私立教育。私立教育的意思是家长可以通过付费的方式把他们的孩子送到一些学校就读。赞同这一制度的人说这一制度给家长提供了更多的学校以供选择。其他人则认为私立学校给就读私立学校的孩子一种不公平的优势。
许多孩子3岁时上幼儿园。2到3年之后，他们进入小学。大概11岁左右，他们升入中学。在一些国家，中学被称为high school。孩子们在中学学习到16或18岁。之后，他们便有机会到综合性大学或高等专科学校继续学习。
大学与高等专科学校是一些年轻人继续受教育的地方。大多数综合性大学的学生尽管可学习许多科目，但他们主修一门主要的科目。教学通常是以讲座或主讲人同一组学生之间进行讨论的方式进行。
大多数学生在综合性大学学习3到4年。然后，就得参加考试。如果通过的话，他们将获得学士学位，通常是文学学士学位或理学学士学位。一些学生会为了文学硕士或哲学博士等更高的学位而继续深造几年。
大多数的综合大学课程不会培训学生去从事某项特定的工作。但另一方面，高等专科学校通常教授学生技能，使学生能从事某种职业，例如，服装设计、商务研究等。

A Violin and the Law
David，a policeman，came to a cabin about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards，an armed and dangerous killer.Through a broken window，he saw an old man with a beard watching him closely.When he stepped into the cabin，he found the old man was pointing a gun at him.He looked around the cabin and didn’t see any sign of Cal.“I guess I’ll have to come again.”he said.Just then he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall.“Who plays the violin？”he asked.For a moment there was silence.Actually Cal’s father played the violin best in the area，but he didn’t answer，with his gun still aiming at David.
David crossed the room and felt sweat on his forehead，but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor.He began to play the violin，one tune after another.He was playing better than he had ever played in his life.
The old man stood there，attracted.The hatred in his eyes was giving way to a look of wonder.The gun was now pointed towards the floor.He began to beat time，tapping one foot on the dirt floor.When the final notes of the tune died away，the old man placed the gun in a corner.
“Well，stranger，”the old man said，“you play the violin excellently.Maybe you’ll stay for dinner and play some more for me.”
After they had eaten，they sat in the spring sunshine outside the cabin.They talked about violin tunes.Not a word was said about Cal Richards.
About two hours later，David stood up and said，“Sorry！I must be getting back to the town.”
The old man sat，deep in thought.At last，he said，“I like the way you talk and I like the way you play the violin.I guess you’re a decent guy.”He paused as if it were hard to go on.Then，he said in a thick voice，“I’ll have a talk with Cal.I think he might give himself up tomorrow.You be at the police station at noon！”
The next day，as the town clock struck twelve，a bearded old man came up the street towards the police station.With him was a young fellow whose appearance told of many days in hiding.,小提琴和法律
警察大卫来到一间往山上走约两英里的小屋逮捕凯尔·里查兹，他是一个全副武装的、危险的杀人凶手。透过已破了的窗子，大卫看到一个留着胡子的老人正紧紧地盯着他。当他走进小屋，他发现那老人正用枪对着他。大卫环视着小屋，没有发现任何凯尔的踪迹。“我想我明天还得再来，”大卫说。就在那时，他看到墙上挂着一把小提琴。“谁拉这把小提琴？”他问道。一时间，没人说话。实际上，凯尔的父亲是这一带拉小提琴拉得最好的，但他没有回答，仍然用他那杆枪指着大卫。
大卫走过去取琴，他额头上冒出了汗，但他还是从容地从墙上取下了琴，就好像他是一位颇受欢迎的客人。他开始一曲又一曲地拉起了小提琴。他这一生中，此时拉得最好。
老人站在那里，被乐曲声吸引住了。他目光中的敌意已被惊讶的神情所替代，他的枪正指着地板。他开始随着音乐的节拍，用脚轻轻敲打着脏乱的地板，当乐曲的最后一个音符消失时，老人把枪放在了墙角。
“嗯，年轻人，”老人说，“你的小提琴拉得棒极了。也许你愿意留下来吃饭，然后再给我拉几首。”
吃完饭，他们坐在屋外春意浓浓的阳光下。他们谈着小提琴曲，没有人提到凯尔·里查兹。
大约两小时过去了，大卫站起身来，说道：“抱歉，我得回城里去了。”
老人坐着，陷入了沉思。最后，他说，“我喜欢你这么说话，我也喜欢听你拉琴。我想你是个正派的人。”他停了片刻，似乎下面的话很难说出。而后，他用凝重的语气说道：“我要和凯尔谈谈。我想他明天就会去自首的。明天正午你在警察局等着吧！”
第二天，当城里的钟敲响了12下，一位留着胡子的老人沿着街道向警察局走来。和他一起来的是一个小伙子，一看他那样子就知道他已躲藏了多日。

Country Music
Country music is a major kind of American popular music.It is mainly produced by white Southerners in the early 1920s.Although originally it was known as “hillbilly music”，it has gained wide international acceptance since it became part of popular music.
Musically speaking，country music has a simple style and is relaxing to listen to；this is why it is so popular.This basic aspect comes from the fact that it is based mainly on lyrical content rather than musical content.The main aim of the musical elements of harmony，melody，and rhythm is to show off the lyrics.
The lyrics commonly reflect the lives of ordinary，working-class Americans and cover such subjects as love and relationships，loneliness，religion，and work.Most lyrics are economical，using 150 or fewer words，and the result is often poetic.
Country music tends to mirror the concerns，achievements，and lifestyles of the times，and remains an important form of American cultural expression.
The Beatles
In the early 1960s，there was a movement against tradition all over the world.In England this movement was represented by the Beatles.
The Beatles found a way for angry young men to express their feelings in noisy music and pop songs.At first the Beatles were concerned mainly with young men’s personal problems，like love，sorrow，good and bad luck.Later the Beatles showed the climate of the 1960s and sang of social injustice and inequality.
The Beatles showed much admiration for Afro-American rhythm-and-blues.The early songs were simple love songs and their later songs were under the influence of the music and religion of India.
The Beatles believed in their talents and never copied anyone，thus they created melodies rich and original enough for other famous bands to play and sing.They Beatles voiced the emotions of young men and the philosophy of the time，especially the optimism.In a time when winter in England seemed to go on forever，the Beatles imagined spring for people to enjoy.
In March 2001，a magazine in the USA called Forbes listed the Beatles as No.3 among the 100 top world celebrities.,乡村音乐
乡村音乐是美国流行音乐的一种主要形式。它早在20世纪20年代就由美国南方的白人创立。虽然最初它被认为是“山地音乐”，但自从它融入流行音乐后，就得到了全世界的认可。
从音乐的角度来说，乡村音乐的风格简单，这正是它如此流行的原因所在。它基本上是注重歌词的内容而不是音乐的内容。其主要目的是通过音乐上的协调、旋律和节奏来表现歌词的含义。
乡村音乐的歌词通常所反映的是美国普通的劳动人民的生活，涉及的主题有爱情、孤独、宗教和工作等。大多数的歌词只有150字或更少，但却充满了诗意。
乡村音乐常反映出时代的焦点、成就和生活方式，所以一直是美国文化的一种重要的表现形式。
甲壳虫乐队
20世纪60年代初，全世界掀起了一场反传统的运动。在英国，这一运动的代言人就是甲壳虫乐队。
甲壳虫乐队为愤怒的年轻人找到了一种用嘈杂的音乐和流行歌曲来宣泄情感的方法。最初，甲壳虫乐队主要关注的是年轻人的个人问题，如：爱情、悲伤、好运和坏运。后来他们也揭露那个时代的风气和社会的不公平。
甲壳虫很欣赏美国黑人文化的节奏与布鲁斯。甲壳虫乐队早期的歌曲是一些简单的爱情歌曲，但后来的歌曲却受到了印度音乐和宗教的影响。
甲壳虫乐队相信自己的才能，从不抄袭他人之作，因此，他们创作了很多风格各异的原创乐曲，足以让别的著名乐队来演奏和传唱。甲壳虫乐队唱出了年轻人的情感和那个时代人们的人生观，特别是乐观的人生观。在当时的英国，冬日似乎遥遥无期，甲壳虫乐队却为人们描绘了令人愉悦的春天的美景。
2001年的三月，在美国的《福布斯》杂志上，甲壳虫乐队排名世界名人一百人中的第三。

My Favourite Film
The film I have enjoyed most is The Sound of Music.It is a very old film which won five Oscar awards.But for me，there has been no other film to match its excellence.
Everything about the film is enjoyable.Woven around a very simple theme，this film tells a story about seven naughty but lovable children，their governess，Maria，and their strict father，the captain，who knows nothing about bringing up children.The heroine，Maria，brings music and joy back to the family.The children take to her and they become great friends，for she is young enough to enjoy their fun and she is also mature enough to guide their behaviour.
There is a bit of something for everybody in it，too.Children will take to the seven naughty children and the fun that they have.Young girls like the heroine，whom they can identify themselves with.People will also like the romantic love，the beautiful feeling that grows between the captain and Maria.Boys，for whom guns hold a great interest，like the mystery in the war that the family escapes from.
The Sound of Music is the type of film which more producers should try to learn from.The music，especially the songs，remains in everyone’s memory.It is light，tuneful，and memorable，and it appeals to both the young and the old.The photography and the colour are very attractive，too.The scenes and background are very much in keeping with the story and the effect is wonderful.The acting is superb，as every feeling is brought out fully.
The story is apparently common and it does not try to put across any moral values，but the real effect is very educational.Human feelings，emotions and doubts are clearly shown.It is obvious that the film is everybody’s idea of entertainment and the whole film is very enjoyable and unforgettable.,我最喜欢的电影
我最喜欢的电影是《音乐之声》，它是一部得了五项奥斯卡奖的老影片。但是对我而言，没有别的电影可以与之相比。
整部电影都是令人愉快的。电影围绕着一个简单的主题展开，讲述了一个关于七个淘气又可爱的孩子，他们的家庭女教师玛利亚，以及对带孩子一窍不通的严厉父亲之间的故事。片中的女主角玛利亚把音乐和欢乐带回了这个家庭。一方面，她很年轻，能与孩子们同喜同乐；另一方面，她的成熟足以引导孩子们的行为。孩子们喜欢上了她，并与她成了极好的朋友。
人们都觉得影片中有自己喜欢的东西。孩子们会喜欢上那七个顽皮的孩子和他们的那些乐趣。姑娘们喜欢女主角，她们会把自己当成是女主角。人们也喜欢在父亲和玛利亚之间的那份美丽的、浪漫的爱情。至于那些对枪怀有极大兴趣的男孩们，他们喜欢电影中这一家人所逃脱的那场战争所带来的神秘色彩。
《音乐之声》这类电影是更多的制片人都应效仿的。片中的音乐，尤其是歌曲，仍留在人们的记忆中。片中那轻快的、悦耳的、令人难忘的音乐使男女老少都陶醉。片中的摄影技术和色彩也很吸引人。镜头和背景与故事非常协调，效果极佳。演员演技一流，把各种情感都表现得淋漓尽致。
片中的故事显然是普通的，它并不想极力说服人们接受任何道德观，但最终的效果却是很有教育意义的。人类的情感和疑虑都清楚地表现了出来。显而易见，这部影片是人人理想中的娱乐片，整部影片都是那么得令人愉快和难忘。

Who to Believe?
My doctors told me I would never walk again.My mother told me I would.I believed my mother.
Wilma Rudolph was born into a very poor family in 1940 in Tennessee.When she was four years old，a deadly illness made her left leg useless.She had to wear an iron leg brace.Her doctors told her she would never walk like a normal person without the brace.Yet she was fortunate in having a mother who encouraged her to have faith and courage.
At nine years of age，the little girl removed the leg brace and took the step which was impossible according to the doctors.Then she got the notion，the incredible notion，that she would like to be the world’s greatest woman runner.Now，what could she mean－be a runner with a leg like that?
At the age of thirteen，she began to enter races.But she came in last in every race.Everyone begged her to quit.However，one day，she came in next to last.And then there came a day when she won a race.From then on，Wilma Rudolph won every race that she entered.
In 1957，Wilma went to Tennessee State University，where she met a coach named Ed Temple.He trained her so well that in 1960 she went to the Olympic Games in Rome.There she beat a German girl named Jutta Heine，the greatest woman runner of the day.Wilma had just won two Olympic gold medals both in the 100-metre dash and the 200－metre dash.Then came the 400-metre relay.It would be Wilma against Jutta once again.When the third runner handed the baton to Wilma，she was so excited that she dropped it，and Wilma saw Jutta taking off down the track.It was impossible that anybody could catch this girl.But Wilma did just that！Wilma Rudolph had earned her third Olympic gold medal in the 17th Olympic Games.
That day Wilma made history as she became the first woman who had won three gold medals in the same Olympic Games.Later she said：“The triumph can’t be had without the struggle.And I know what struggle is.I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.”
,相信谁？
(医生曾对我说，我再也不能行走了，然而妈妈却说我能。我相信妈妈。)
威尔玛·鲁道夫1940年出生在田纳西州一个边远地区的贫困家庭里。4岁时，一场致命的疾病使她左腿瘫痪了。她不得不套上一个铁支架。她的医生告诉她，不用支架她将永远不能像正常人那样走路。所幸的是她有一个鼓励她要有信心和勇气的母亲。
9岁时，这个小姑娘去掉支架开始迈步，而医生曾告诉她这是不可能的。然后她有了一个念头，一个令人难以置信的念头，那就是她要成为世界上最棒的女子跑步运动员。这能成吗？一条那样的腿能成为赛跑运动员吗？
13岁时她开始参加赛跑，但每次都是倒数第一。大家劝她不要再跑了。可有一天她得了倒数第二。后来终于有一天她跑了第一。从那以后，威尔玛·鲁道夫每次赛跑都是第一。
1957年威尔玛进入了田纳西州州立大学读书，在那里她遇到了一个名叫埃德·坦普尔的教练。由于他的训练十分到位，1960年她参加了在罗马举行的奥运会。那次奥运会上，她战胜了一位名叫尤塔·海内的德国姑娘，她可是那个时代最著名的女子赛跑运动员。她就这样在100米和200米短跑中赢得了两块奥运会金牌。最后是400米接力赛，威尔玛再次与尤塔竞争。第三个运动员将棒传到威尔玛手中时，由于她过于激动，棒掉到了地上，并且这时，威尔玛看到尤塔已经冲上了跑道。要追上这个女孩，任何人都不可能，但威尔玛就是做到了！威尔玛·鲁道夫获得了她在第17届奥运会上的第3块金牌！
那天，威尔玛成了第一位在同一届奥运会上夺得三块金牌的女运动员，名垂史册。之后她说道：“没有任何胜利不是通过奋斗而取得的。我知道什么是奋斗。我一生都努力与大家分享作为一个在体育世界领先的女子的意义，以便其他年轻女子也能有机会实现她们的梦想。”

Flowers for you
Flowers should be presented to winners.Why should they be given to this disgraced loser?
Since she fell on the mat from the horizontal bar four days before at the International Gymnastics Championships，she had kept her beautiful and once proud head bent.Now she was back at the Capital Airport from abroad.Upon entering the lobby，she wished she could hide her head under her collar.She was ashamed to face the people who had come to welcome her right at the airport.She was even afraid to see the warm-hearted stewardess－one of her admirers.Each time she went abroad from the airport，this stewardess would rush up to help her with her luggage.What a shame that she had absolutely failed!
Two years before，she took part in an international competition for the first time，and unexpectedly she won two world titles.When she returned home that year，she was given a warm welcome in the same lobby.During the past two years，she had taken part in many international competitions and brought back one shining medal after another.What she got in return was all smiles，flowers and camera flashes.The more she won，the more obsessed she was with the fear of losing.So her mind was in fact more burdened with success than with failure.
In order to avoid people at the airport，she trailed along behind the team.When she found that very few people greeted her and reporters seemed to shun her，she felt hurt and deserted and ashamed of herself.
All of a sudden，she saw a pair of shoes in front of her.Who could it be？Before her stood the stewardess with her hands behind her back，speaking with a smile，“I watched your performance on the television.I knew you would come home today.So I am here especially to welcome you.”
“I did very poorly.”She lowered her head again.
“No.You did your best.”
“But I failed.”
“Nobody can avoid failure.I believe failure is as important to you as success.Failure belongs to the past，and victory belongs to the future.”The stewardess’voice came gentle but firm.
Hearing these words，the girl raised her head.The stewardess held out her hands from behind her back with a bunch of colourful flowers，and presented it to the girl.The strong fragrance seemed to turn into a powerful current that went through her body.She was moved to tears.
Flowers are usually given to victorious heroes.Why to this disgraced loser？,献你一束花
鲜花，理应呈送给凯旋的英雄。难道献给这丢脸的失败者？
在四天前的国际体操锦标赛上，当她从平衡木上跌在垫子上时，就把这美丽而神气的头垂了下来。现在她回国了，一进入首都机场的大厅，她简直要把脑袋藏进领口里去了。她怕见前来欢迎的人们，甚至怕见到机场那个热情的女服务员——她的一个崇拜者。每次她在这里乘飞机出国时，这位女服务员都跑来帮着她提行李。有什么脸见人，大败而归！
两年前，她第一次出国参加比赛，出人意料拿了两项冠军。回国时，就在这机场大厅里，她受到空前热烈的欢迎。两年来，她多次出国比赛，胸前挂着一个又一个亮晃晃的奖牌回来，迎接她的是笑脸、鲜花和摄影机雪亮的闪光。越赢越怕输，所以成功的包袱比失败的包袱更重。
为了避开人，她走在队伍的最后，可是当她发现很少有人给她打招呼，摄影记者也好像有意避开她时，她感到受了冷落，加重了心中的沮丧和愧疚。
忽然她发现一双脚停在她眼前。谁？站在她面前的原来是机场那位女服务员，她背着双手含笑对她说：“我在电视里看了你们的比赛，知道你今天回来，特意来迎接你。”
“我真糟！”她又垂下头。
“不，你已尽力了。”
“但我失败了”。
“谁都不能避免失败。我相信，失败和胜利对于你同样重要。失败属于过去，胜利属于未来。”女服务员的声音柔和而肯定。
听到这话，她抬起头来。只见女服务员把背在身后的手向前一伸，一大束五彩缤纷的鲜花捧到她的面前。浓郁的香气竟化作一股奇异的力量注入她的身体。她顿时热泪满面。
怎么？花，理应呈送给凯旋的英雄，难道也要献给这丢脸的失败者？

My Special Jeans
We shared the best of times together－my old jeans and I．I remember the day I got them.It was sometime in April of 2007.My mum took me shopping for jeans，and I picked out five or six pairs to try on.I tried on a couple of pairs that fit okay，but they were nothing special.Then I tried on a pair of “ Silver Tab” blue jeans.They were slightly faded but I fell in love with them the moment I put them on! I didn’t even bother to try on the other three pairs I had picked out.I just got that pair.They were a bit more expensive than the other jeans，but I assured my mum I would get her money’s worth.And that was no lie!
If there was one thing in my wardrobe that I “over-wore”，it would have to be those jeans.Each time I took them out of the washer I noticed they looked more and more faded and that they were wearing thin，especially in the left knee and on the back pockets.However，that didn’t matter to me and I still wore them.Sun or rain，wind or snow－it didn’t matter－they were still my favourite!
By the next year at that time they were wearing through right under the right back pocket，so I had mum repair them，because I couldn’t wear them like that.Mum did a really good job on the patch，and I wore them for another six months or so.One day，I decided to invite a few friends to my garden for a bonfire.There was an old shed out there and it was easy to climb up onto it，but it was a bit harder to get down.You had to jump.I was the only girl who dared to jump—I felt pretty confident because I had done it before when I was younger.I sat right on the edge and then I jumped.But a nail caught the patch under the right back pocket of my jeans.So when I jumped all I heard was a big r-i-p and I felt a bit of a draft as I hit the ground.Not only did I embarrass myself in front of my friends，but I also killed my favourite jeans.
When I told my mum what had happened，she said they were beyond repair.I was sad because they had been my special jeans.But at least I could tell my mum that I had gotten her money’s worth!
,我心爱的牛仔裤
我和我的旧牛仔裤一起共享了很多美好时光。我仍记得买牛仔裤的那天。那是2007年4月的一天，妈妈带我去买牛仔裤，我挑了五六条试穿，都很合身，但都没什么特别的。然后，我试穿了一条Silver Tab牌的蓝色牛仔裤。这一条牛仔裤有点泛白，但我在穿上它的那一刻就喜欢上了它。我甚至不再费事去试穿我已挑出的另外三条，我就要这条。虽然这一条比其他的更贵一些，但我向妈妈保证我会让它物有所值，我说到做到！
如果在我的衣柜里有穿得过于频繁的衣服的话，当属那条牛仔裤了。每次从洗衣机里拿出这条牛仔裤，我都会发现它的颜色越来越浅，而且裤子变得越来越薄，特别是左膝和后口袋。但我并不在意，我仍然穿着它。无论阳光灿烂还是阴雨绵绵，刮风还是下雪，这都无关紧要，它始终是我的至爱！
第二年的那个时候，就在裤子的右后袋之处破了个洞，因为不能那样穿着出门，所以我让妈妈帮我补了一下。妈妈的缝纫手艺简直一流，于是我又穿了六个月左右的时间。一天，我决定邀请一些朋友到我家花园搞一次篝火晚会。花园里有一个旧棚子，很容易就能爬到顶上，但爬下来就有点难，必须跳下来才行。我是唯一一个敢跳下来的女孩，我感觉很自信，因为我在很小的时候跳过了。我坐到棚顶的最边缘，然后一跳。可是一颗钉子挂住了牛仔裤的后袋补丁。于是当我一跳，只听到“刺啦”一声。当我触地时，我觉得一股凉意透上来。这不仅让自己在朋友面前颜面扫地，也毁了我心爱的牛仔裤。
当我告诉妈妈所发生的一切时，她说裤子已无法缝补。我很难过，因为它是我特别珍爱的牛仔裤。不过，至少我能告诉妈妈我让它物有所值了！

Fashion
Fashion is moving into the twenty-first century.A coat can change its colour with the weather，the stripes on a shirt will disappear while you are wearing it；a blouse can be worn for days and days without a bad smell...These are not dreams of scientists，but the most recent developments in the fashion world，which were made possible by advances in fibre technology.
A jacket by Stone Island changes its colour in warm weather and costs between $40 and $5,000.Peter White，a customer，says.“There’s not much more that designers can do with the old cloth.They need to make new cloth to keep fashion interesting.”
Massimo Osti is the man who has brought this unusual cloth to the shops.Another Osti’s invention is the sweatshirt which has a design of the company’s trademark on the chest，which disappears when you breathe on it.Now there is a special kind of leisure wear for golfers who like to practise in all weathers.As golfers leave the warm club house，their sweaters will change from white to a rainbow of colours.
Unika，a Japanese firm，has developed a man-made fibre which changes sunlight into thermal energy and keeps the wearer up to 10 ℃ warmer than ordinary fibres.A kind of new cloth for skiwear can turn black to absorb sunlight when the temperature drops to below zero，and change to white at above 5 ℃ to reflect the sun.
Tights producers in the Far East and Europe have sold many tights which have a pleasing smell.A department store in Britain reports good sales for this kind of tights.The sweet smell lasts up to three hand-washes.
,时装
时装的发展进入了21世纪。外套的颜色会随天气变化而变化；衬衫上的条纹会在你穿上时消失；一件短袖衫可以穿很多天而没有怪味……这些都不是科学家的梦想，而是时装界的最新成果。这都是由于纤维技术的进步才使之成为了可能。
一件Stone Island公司的夹克衫在暖和的天气里会变颜色，价格在40美元到5000美元之间。一位名叫彼得·怀特的顾客说：“设计师们对旧布料已无计可施。需要生产新型的布料来使时装更有趣。”
马西莫·奥斯提是那个使不寻常的布进入商店的人。奥斯提的另一项发明是胸口处有公司商标的圆领长袖运动衫。只要你对着商标一吹气，它就消失了。还有另一种很特别的供喜欢在各种天气状况下打高尔夫球的人穿的休闲服。当打高尔夫球的人走出俱乐部暖和的屋子，运动衫就会从白色变成七彩色。
尤利卡，日本的一家公司，已经开发出一种人造纤维，它能把阳光转换成热能，并能使穿着者比穿普通纤维制的衣服暖和10度。一种新型的滑雪衫可以在温度降到零下时变成黑色以吸收太阳光，然后当温度达到5℃以上时，又变成白色以反射阳光。
远东和欧洲的裤袜制造商已经卖出了许多含有闻起来令人愉悦的香味的裤袜。英国一家百货公司的报告显示这种裤袜的销售情况很好，在手洗3次之后，还可以闻到香气。

Test your Nutrition IQ
Variety is not a guarantee of good nutrition.But in order to stay healthy，adults can get a balanced diet by including several servings daily from the following main groups.They are proteins，carbohydrates，fats，minerals and vitamins.Proteins are very important for building our bodies；they help us to build new cells as old ones die.Meat，fish，nuts，and cheese are main sources of protein，but not the only ones—we can also get protein from eggs and beans.Carbohydrates are important to enable us to store energy—they provide fuel for the body.Carbohydrates are found in sugar，rice，corn and wheat.Fats give us energy，too.Some foods high in fat are ice-cream，sausage，butter，and potato chips.We also need minerals and vitamins to help our body work properly.Fish，vegetables and milk contain most of the minerals we need.Vitamins are found in fresh vegetables and fruits.
As long as people eat enough dairy foods，eggs，and meat，they can get essential proteins.
Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat，not when you eat them.Eating a hard-boiled egg or an orange as a snack can contribute to a well-balanced diet.
It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy.But taking more than what the body needs doesn’t make it fun_ction better just as overfilling your gas tank won’t make your car run better.
Proper weight alone doesn’t show whether a diet is lacking in vitamins and minerals.The scales make no distinction between the similar numbers of calories of a can of soda and two eggs.
If you cut out starchy foods，such as peas，potatoes，bread，and rice，you cut out very good sources of several vitamins，such as Vitamin B and Vitamin C，and other nutritions.Furthermore，there’s nothing magical about protein，The simple truth is that you have to either eat fewer calories or use up more in order to lose weight.
Now you can say you know something about food and nutrition by today’s standards.But rememer that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.
,测测你的营养知识
品种多并不能确保营养好。但是为了保持健康，成年人可以从以下几种食品中获得均衡的饮食。它们是蛋白质、碳水化合物、脂肪、矿物质和维生素。对于我们身体的生长蛋白质是非常重要的，它们有助于在老细胞死亡的同时造出新细胞。肉类和奶制品是主要的蛋白质来源，但不是唯一的。我们还可以从鸡蛋和豆类中获取。碳水化合物和脂肪在我们身体储存能量方面至关重要，它们对我们的身体提供燃料。碳水化舍物富含于糖和像米、玉米、小麦这样的谷类中。脂肪富含在植物油、黄油和香肠等食物中。我们的身体还需要矿物质和维生素来保持身体的正常运转。而我们所需的大部分矿物质都富含于鱼、蔬菜和牛奶中，而维生素却在新鲜的蔬菜和水果中。只要人们吃足够的奶制品，蛋和肉，就能获取足够的蛋白质。
营养价值取决于你吃什么类型的食物，而不是取决于你什么时候吃。作为零食，吃一个煮鸡蛋或橘子都有利于均衡饮食。
人们普遍相信额外的维生素会提供更多能量。但如果超过身体所需，不会使身体更健康，因为就像给汽车油箱超额加油，并不会使你的车行驶得更好。
仅仅适当的体重并不能说明饮食中是否缺乏维生素和矿物质。磅秤显示不出热量相等的一罐汽水和两个鸡蛋间的差别。
如果你减少淀粉类食物，如豌豆、土豆、面包以及米饭，你的食物中就少了好几种维生素，如维生素B、维生素C以及其他营养的好来源。此外，蛋白质并不是什么奇异的东西。事实上，要减肥你就必须要么少摄入热量，要么多消耗热量。
现在你可以说你对当今的食物和营养已有一定了解。但是请记住，营养是一门复杂和变化着的科学，随着新信息唾手可得，今天的观念也会改变。

There is a saying：Breakfast like a king，lunch like a prince，and dinner like a pauper—a very poor person.This means that breakfast should be the largest meal of your day.In many countries，the biggest meal of the day is dinner.So why does this saying advise us to eat a large breakfast instead?
The answer is in the word“breakfast”itself，which means the “breaking”of a “fast”，or a long period without eating.The gap between dinner and breakfast can be up to twelve hours，so the meal that breaks your fast should be healthy and wholesome.Also，unlike your evening meal，the food you consume for breakfast will give you energy to use while you are active during the day.There is evidence that eating a big breakfast，particularly one containing whole grains and fruit，can improve your concentration and mood.
Although health experts stress the importance of eating a good breakfast and having one’s main meal earlier in the day，not many people are changing their daily eating habits.In the U．S.，for example，about two-thirds of the population still has its main meal in the evening.Many of the most popular types of American food，such as steak and potatoes，are full of fat and carbohydrates，which make them slow to digest.
In Mexico，the most important meal for many families is usually eaten at 2：00 p．m. The meal normally includes and appetizer，soup，pasta，fish，meat with a salad，dessert，and finally tea or coffee.In Switzerland，the main meal is also eaten in the middle of the day，and usually contains a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Many nutritionists suggest that people eat small，low-fat meals five or six times a day.Most agree，however，that good nutrition and what you eat is more important than when you eat it.Keeping to a balanced diet of nutritious，low-calorie foods like vegetables，whole grains，fish，and fresh fruits is the best way to enjoy a healthy life.
, 俗话说：“早吃好；午吃饱；晚吃少。”这就是说早餐应该是一天中最丰富的一餐。在很多国家最丰富的一餐却是晚餐。可为何这种说法建议我们要吃一顿丰盛的早餐呢？
答案就在“breakfast”这个词本身。这个词本意是指斋戒或长期禁食的解除。晚餐与早餐之间的间隔时间可长达12小时。因此解除禁食的这一餐应该是健康有益的。而且与晚餐不同的是，早餐所吃的食物会为你白天的活动提供所需的能量。事实表明一顿丰盛的早餐，尤其是含有谷物、水果的早餐，有助于改善你的注意力和情绪。
虽然健康专家强调吃一顿丰富早餐和在一天中较早的时候吃正餐的重要性，但并没有太多的人在改变着他们的饮食习惯。例如：美国有2/3的人仍然在晚上吃正餐。许多美国人最喜欢吃的食物，如牛排、土豆，都含有大量的脂肪和碳水化合物，这就使得这些食物难以消化。
在墨西哥，很多家庭中最重要的一餐通常是在下午两点，这一餐一般包括开胃菜、汤、面食、鱼、配有沙拉的肉、甜点，最后还有茶或者咖啡。在瑞士，正餐也是在中午。通常包括大量的新鲜蔬菜和水果。
许多营养学家建议人们每日进食少量的、低脂肪的食物5至6次。但是他们大多数都认为丰富的营养和吃什么样的食物比什么时候吃更重要。享受健康生活的最佳方式是坚持吃低热量的、营养均衡的食物，例如：蔬菜、全营养谷物、鱼和新鲜的水果。

How to Live?
In Britain，approximately every two out of three people own the houses they live in.But buying a house is a large investment for many people and the majority buy their homes with a mortgage loan from a bank.The loan is repaid monthly over a period of twenty years or more.How about the remaining one third？They have to rent houses from public authorities or landlords.
In Britain，over 80% of the people live in the suburbs in semidetached or detached two-story houses，often with gardens！Most of the houses are equipped with central heating.This kind of living offers a golden opportunity for DIY—“Do It Yourself”，the movement of doing the interior decoration and of making the garden beautiful yourself.Both are funny and comfortable，aren’t they？But low-paid workers live in the inner cities.
In Britain，the average family moves once every seven years.The process of moving involves an estate agent for advertising houses for sale，a bank or insurance company for the money，and a lawyer to handle the legal aspects of the buying and selling.
Things are a little different in America.
The so-called millionaires may live in cozy villas，with private swimming pools！And the middle-class people，who make up about 40% of the total American population，live in detached houses or villas in the suburbs.How about the rest？They are the lower class，making up 15% or so of Americans，all of whom live below the official “poverty line”．But can you imagine where they live?
In America，a lot of houses have been built in the suburbs，far from the centres of large cities.While more and more people are working in and around big cities，most prefer not to live in cities.The more money one has，the farther one lives away from the town centre.Those“less advantaged”people have nowhere to go but the central cities.Poor blacks usually live together in all-black areas like the South Bronx in New York.
Most Chinese-Americans live in cities on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.Many of them，rich or poor，prefer to live together in areas known as Chinatowns.
But Americans are restless people who are always ready to move.For them，nothing is seen as unchangeable.An American hopes and expects to exchange everthing for something better.
,怎样住？
在英国，大约有2/3的人居住在自己所拥有的房子里。但买房对许多人来讲都是一笔大投资，而且大多数的人都通过从银行抵押贷款来购房。贷款按月偿还，贷款期限可达20年或更长。那剩下的1/3的人住哪儿呢？他们只好从政府或房东那儿租房住。
在英国，超过80%的人住在郊区的半独立或独立的、带有花园的两层楼里。大多数房子都装有中央暖气。这种居住条件为英国人的“自己动手”提供了极好的机会，自己动手搞搞内部的装修或把花园弄得更漂亮。这两件事做起来都很有意思、很舒服，是吧？但低收入的工人却只能住在市中心。
在英国，普通家庭平均每七年搬一次家。搬家的过程要牵涉到登广告卖房的房地产中间商、提供钱的银行或保险公司，还有处理买房和卖房事务的律师。
在美国，情况又有点不同。
那些所谓的百万富翁可能住在带有游泳池的、舒适的别墅里。占全国总人口40%的中产阶层就住在郊区独立的房子或别墅里。那么其余的人呢？他们是占美国人口约15%的低层人，都生活在官方的“贫困线”之下。你能想象他们住在哪里吗？
在美国，大批的房屋被建在了远离大城市市中心的郊区。虽然越来越多的人在大城市里或大城市周围工作，但大多数人不喜欢住在城里。钱越多的人，住得离城中心就越远。而那些处于“不利地位”的人除了住在市中心外，就别无他处可去。可怜的黑人们通常集中住在如纽约的南布隆克斯那样的黑人居住区。
大多数的美籍华人住在太平洋和大西洋沿岸的城市。无论富有还是贫穷，他们很多人都愿意住在一起，住在我们熟知的中国城。
但美国人总想着搬家，是很不安分的。对他们而言，没有什么是一成不变的。美国人希望并盼望着把一切都变得更好。
