Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. 16 (follow) her longstanding custom, she’d lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember 17 it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough! ” She didn’t say 18 in reply. But never again 19 my mother close out my day 20 that familiar expression of her love.
Time after time, with the passing years, my 21 (think) returned to that night. By then I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.
Now those hands I once thought to be so rough were still doing things for me and my family. I frequently recalled the night my young voice complained. One night, catching Mom’s hands, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, 22 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I 23 (talk) about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 24 (appreciate) for my gentle mother and 25 caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
Ⅱ. 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
(A)
It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My elder brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’ hoofs from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d sprawl on Mom’s bed and stare for hours at the tube(显像管).
But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses where she cleaned books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read. ”
We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were, “I’ll drive you to the library. ”
So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.
It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.
Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved on from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.
Now my elder brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.
But I know when the journey began the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.

Standard English is the formal English that you need to use when you write in coursework or in the exam. Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be standard — that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain used to spell words differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling. Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced all written dialect forms — the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling — Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today. All written English should be Standard English — any grammar rules you learn are for Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work. The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.
Avoid slang words — words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand. You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write. Don’t use dialect words. Every region has words or phrases that are only used there. Don’t use them in your coursework, because you won’t be understood. Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation you have learned, and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made. Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, “As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés. So are images like, “as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”. If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative — that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style. So avoid clichés.
31. What three things do you have to think about when using English
a. no slang word or dialect word
b. no grammar or spelling mistake
c. no phrase
d. no cliché
e. no punctuation
A. abc. B. bcd. C. ade. D. abd.
32. What is Standard English
A. The English spoken by British people.
B. The English spoken by American people.
C. The English used in London.
D. The English spoken by British people in the 15th Century.
33. What is the cliché according to the passage
A. The English full of slang words.
B. The boring ideas or sayings because of being used often.
C. The long phrases which are used often.
D. All the English which is used outside of London and the southeast of Britain.
34. Why do we need to use Standard English
A. Because no one can understand dialect words.
B. Because there are many kinds of English in the world, we need Standard English to make communication easier.
C. Because local dialect belongs to the certain region, not every one can understand it.
D. Because standard English has been used for a long time.
35. Which statement is TRUE
A. Written English should be formal and standard.
B. Standard English means people should use the words from Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary.
C. All the spoken English should be Standard English.
D. Standard English replaced all written dialect forms in the 18th Century.

As goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore airfare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wirelesses, washing machines, electric kettles) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was fully repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times; but wouldn’t it be better to see airfares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant Again, in the context of a 70 m. p. h. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other’s speeds, improvements in performance are actually irrelevant; improvements in handling are unnecessary, as most production cars grip(抓牢) the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets — which are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing, but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.
41. The author is obviously challenging the social norm (社会规范) that ______.
A. it is important to improve goods and services
B. development of technology makes our life more comfortable
C. it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time
D. slightly improved new products are worth buying
42. According to this passage, airfares may rise because ______.
A. the airplane has been improved
B. people tend to travel by new planes
C. the change is found to be reasonable
D. the service on the plane is better than before
43. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they ______.
A. could fly in the latest model of good planes
B. could get tickets at much lower prices
C. see the airlines make vital changes in their services
D. could spend less time flying in the air
44. When manufactures have improved the performance of their products to a certain level, then it would be ______.
A. justified for them to cut the price
B. unnecessary for them to make any new changes
C. difficult and costly to further better them
D. insignificant for them to cut down the research costs
45. In the case of cars, the author advises that we ______.
A. cancel the speed limit B. further improve their performance
C. change models every two years D. improve their durability (耐久性)

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
On September 1, 1965, the Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established, which marked the establishment of the people’s democratic power in Tibet. From then on, the Tibetan people enjoyed the right to administer their own affairs and, together with the people throughout the country, engaged in the socialist development. Nowadays, the Tibet Autonomous Region, covering one-eighth of China’s territory with a population of 2. 8 million, has developed rapidly in recent years.
China is a multi-ethnic country and Tibet is an inalienable(不可分割的) part of China. For more than 700 years the central government of China has continuously exercised sovereignty over Tibet. No government of any country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent state. Anyone must be denounced(谴责) if he tries to split his motherland. British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, in a formal instruction in 1904, called Tibet “a province of the Chinese Empire”. In his speech, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, “Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China’s sovereignty over Tibet. ” The Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces used to claim that between the 1911 Revolution and the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Tibet became a country “exercising full authority”. However, many historical facts denied such a fallacy(谬论). The so-called “Tibetan independence” which the Dalai clique and overseas anti-China forces spread is nothing but a fiction of the imperialists who committed aggression against China in modern history. Never will they succeed.

Build a Harmonious Society
Dear fellow students,
Our government is going to build a “harmonious society”. I think it is our duty to work hard to achieve this goal. First of all, we should love our motherland, care about the development of our hometowns and take an active part in our school’s activities. Secondly, we should respect the old and love the young, including our parents and our teachers. We should also unite the students around us, help each other and above all, everyone must be honest and trustworthy in our daily life. Last but not least, we should try our best to save energy of all kinds and protect our natural environment.
Let’s start right now and spare no efforts to do a little bit every day, every hour, and every minute!

Tibet is a part of China
The establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region has enabled the local people to become masters of their own affairs, which promotes the development of Tibet. Tibet is a part of China, never to be independent.
As we all know, Tibet has been an inalienable part of the Chinese territory since ancient times. It has a long history. Before its liberation, there was no modern industry or no highways. However, since the founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Tibet has witnessed significant progress in economic, political and cultural development, thanks to the great support from the central government.
To our dissatisfaction, the Dalai clique and some overseas anti-China forces have done something that is against the will of all peace-loving Chinese people at home and abroad. They are bound to be strongly denounced.
As middle school students, we also strongly protest anyone who splits our motherland. Meanwhile, we must study hard and try our best to make our country more powerful.
