第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I sat in the armchair in the backyard，hoping for peace of mind. Earlier that morning I accepted a job transfer(调动) from our small town in pennsylvania to Orlando, Florida. My husband，Frank，and I felt it was the right decision. Our children have grown up and moved away from home，so we were ready for a change. But now I wasn't so sure. We would leave our friends，our church and our whole lives. Frank would be unemployed until he found a job there. We had to sell our house and find a new one! What had we got ourselves into
Then I fell asleep. In my dream，a name flashed before my eyes like a colourful light sign: Mary Clauser. I woke up suddenly. Mary and her husband, Lee，were our friends，who lived in an apartment in a neighbouring town. They visited us once years before. Still, I couldn't ignore what I'd seen.
I called her. “Hi，Mary! I want to let you know that we're moving to Florida，” I said. Mary asked, “Does that mean you're selling your house？” “Yes.” “Great! Can I stop by tonight？” she asked. “Of course，” I said.
Mary arrived that night and I showed her around. “Our home was originally built for a wounded soldier，” I told her. “It has wide doors and even a heated garage.” “I remember.” Mary said. Then she explained that Lee had become ill. He could no longer climb the stairs to their apartment and they needed a new place to live as soon as possible. Mary said, “I never told you that Lee grew up in this neighbourhood. His parents live less than a mile away，so they'd be able to help him when I am not in.”
We had our buyer. And I had peace of mind.

In many cultures white is often associated with something positive. A white－collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain but not with your hands.
White has a clean and pure image. That is why doctors, dentists and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Babies are dressed in white at baptisms(洗礼) and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings. White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity. Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. “Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant painting over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: hiding or covering up mistakes or failures.
A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”．
4．The text is mainly about ______.
A．the meanings of white in English culture
B．the history of some English idioms
C．some interesting customs in English culture
D．some useful English words and expressions
5．Which expression has a historical background
A．Whitewash. B．White－collar.
C．White elephant. D．White elephant sale.
6．From the text we can learn that ______.
A．a white elephant sale is useful to the poor
B．the white color is important in our daily life
C．a white－collar job used to be easy to get
D．expressions with white have different meanings
7．The author develops the text mainly by ______.
A．analyzing its cause and effect
B．providing typical examples
C．comparing different ideas
D．following the time order
C
I arrived at my mother's home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this？” I asked.
“Oh？” Mom said, “That's Mama's quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.
“Grandmother made this？” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” she said. “I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the centre of the quilt, she had stitched(缝)a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom，” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.
8．Why did the author go to her mother's home
A．To see her mother's quilts.
B．To help prepare for a show.
C．To get together for the family dinner.
D．To discuss her grandmother's life.
9．The author was surprised because______.
A．the quilt looked very strange
B．her grandmother liked the quilt
C．the quilt was the best she had seen
D．her mother had made some changes
10．The underlined word “crooked”in the passage most probably means______.
A．unfinished B．broken
C．bent D．unusual
11．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．A Quilt Show B．Mother's Home
C．A Monday Dinner D．Grandmother's Quilt
D
Today many people want adventure when they go on holiday; they want a challenge and excitement. But there are other more important elements (元素；因素) they look for in their holiday. The main one is that they want to have a sense of achievement from their holiday. That is why growing numbers of today's holidaymakers are turning to eco?tourism.
Travelers who choose eco?tourism can contribute to the environment rather than destroy it; and there are more and more projects to choose from. In Antigua (安提瓜), guests help the endangered loggerhead turtles (海龟) by covering up their tracks against predators (天敌). In Boston, USA visitors work with the Museum of Science to create a Science Park. In Egypt, eco-tourists join in a “Green Program” for planting trees, bushes and flowers.
The most selfless eco-tourism projects can be found in England. One organization offers tourists eco-work from 9: 00 a. m. to 5 : 00 p．m. and warns them that, although the work is very rewarding, it can also be demanding! Holidaymakers choose from many different types of holiday: archaeological construction (repairing and rebuilding stone walls), outdoor conservation work and so on. Those who are lucky enough to find a place on holiday are involved in productive projects, such as clearing paths, preserving plants. Sometimes the work is heavy, like cutting down weeds and rebuilding stone walls. It's rewarding, though! One visitor was challenged to provide a stream crossing, to connect pathways on both sides. After several days' hard effort and determination from her and the rest of the group, there was a footbridge in place which they were able to cross. At the end of a week's holiday, they all stood on the bridge to have their photo taken above the stream. It was a great achievement, a break from the usual 95 routine, and a big “plus” for the environment.
12. According to the writer, what do people want during their adventure
A. enjoyment B. relaxation
C. protection D. achievement
13. From the third paragraph we can learn that______.
A．people can be offered a job on their eco-tour
B. people who are offered eco-work are paid by the hour
C. people feel it rewarding to join in eco-tourism projects
D. people can find interesting eco-tourism project only in England
14. The underlined phrase “a big ‘plus’” means______.
A. a great contribution B. great progress
C. one great step D. a pleasant thing
15. The following projects belong to eco-tourism EXCEPT______.
A. to build a little wood bridge which is convenient for tourists
B. to help rebuild the damaged walls
C. to make some signs telling tourists how to protect animals and environment
D. to take a stone or a rare plant away as a reminder
第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Good student－teacher relationships result from the choices that are made even before school, and how those choices are carried out on a daily basis. Here are a few tips to make this process easier for both parties.
__16__
For the teacher, this means that they need to look at each student from the perspective(角度) of what that student could learn, rather than what that student learned last week or last year. For the student, this means that they need to enter the classroom every day with the willingness to trust the teacher to help them understand. __17__Every school day there are new opportunities to learn new information or to understand subjects that might have been difficult in the past.
__18__
This is not to say that you have to “buy” the affections(关爱) of the student or the teacher，but you can give the gift of a smile，the gift of attention in class，or the gift of eye contact. Giving this type of gift always helps to build strong relationships.
Demand the best.
__19__ We can trust friends to keep us responsible and when developing good student－teacher relationships，the same principle of trust applies. Setting high expectations always pushes us to be our best，and when both the student and the teacher are pushing the other for more depth, more wisdom(智慧), more insight(洞察力), etc，then both the student and the teacher will give more.
To develop a good student－teacher relationship，both the student and the teacher must be willing to decide to do these things daily. Each day，they must be willing to try again and work on the relationship. __20__
A．Buy gifts for teachers.
B．Focus on the positive.
C．Give gifts to one another.
D．We can always learn a lot from our teachers.
E．Future learning is never limited by past experiences.
F. Good relationships are always founded on honesty and high expectations.
G．The most important thing is to trust the relationship to benefit each of the members.

38．解析：由下文可知，他们回家拿了行李包再次赶到机场，还是赶上了飞机，所以他们应该是乘坐出租车匆匆忙忙回家的。

第三部分写作
Dear Jane，
I would like to give you my opinion about being on the Internet.
More and more middle school students here are starting using the Internet, through which they can get a great deal of the latest information. They can enjoy lessons given by the best teachers of net?schools at home. And it is easy and convenient to keep in touch with friends by sending and receiving e－mails. On the other hand, some students have spent too much time chatting and playing games on the net. And there is something harmful to the students. At last, I suggest that students should be good at using the Internet for their studies but not be online for long.
Yours，
Zhang Ming

I sat in the armchair in the backyard，hoping for peace of mind. Earlier that morning I accepted a job transfer(调动) from our small town in pennsylvania to Orlando, Florida. My husband，Frank，and I felt it was the right decision. Our children have grown up and moved away from home，so we were ready for a change. But now I wasn't so sure. We would leave our friends，our church and our whole lives. Frank would be unemployed until he found a job there. We had to sell our house and find a new one! What had we got ourselves into
Then I fell asleep. In my dream，a name flashed before my eyes like a colourful light sign: Mary Clauser. I woke up suddenly. Mary and her husband, Lee，were our friends，who lived in an apartment in a neighbouring town. They visited us once years before. Still, I couldn't ignore what I'd seen.
I called her. “Hi，Mary! I want to let you know that we're moving to Florida，” I said. Mary asked, “Does that mean you're selling your house？” “Yes.” “Great! Can I stop by tonight？” she asked. “Of course，” I said.
Mary arrived that night and I showed her around. “Our home was originally built for a wounded soldier，” I told her. “It has wide doors and even a heated garage.” “I remember.” Mary said. Then she explained that Lee had become ill. He could no longer climb the stairs to their apartment and they needed a new place to live as soon as possible. Mary said, “I never told you that Lee grew up in this neighbourhood. His parents live less than a mile away，so they'd be able to help him when I am not in.”
We had our buyer. And I had peace of mind.

In many cultures white is often associated with something positive. A white－collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain but not with your hands.
White has a clean and pure image. That is why doctors, dentists and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Babies are dressed in white at baptisms(洗礼) and brides wear white wedding gowns at weddings. White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity. Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. “Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant painting over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: hiding or covering up mistakes or failures.
A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a sacred animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days presented a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”．

I arrived at my mother's home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt(被子)after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this？” I asked.
“Oh？” Mom said, “That's Mama's quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.
“Grandmother made this？” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” she said. “I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the centre of the quilt, she had stitched(缝)a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom，” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.

Today many people want adventure when they go on holiday; they want a challenge and excitement. But there are other more important elements (元素；因素) they look for in their holiday. The main one is that they want to have a sense of achievement from their holiday. That is why growing numbers of today's holidaymakers are turning to eco?tourism.
Travelers who choose eco?tourism can contribute to the environment rather than destroy it; and there are more and more projects to choose from. In Antigua (安提瓜), guests help the endangered loggerhead turtles (海龟) by covering up their tracks against predators (天敌). In Boston, USA visitors work with the Museum of Science to create a Science Park. In Egypt, eco-tourists join in a “Green Program” for planting trees, bushes and flowers.
The most selfless eco-tourism projects can be found in England. One organization offers tourists eco-work from 9: 00 a. m. to 5 : 00 p．m. and warns them that, although the work is very rewarding, it can also be demanding! Holidaymakers choose from many different types of holiday: archaeological construction (repairing and rebuilding stone walls), outdoor conservation work and so on. Those who are lucky enough to find a place on holiday are involved in productive projects, such as clearing paths, preserving plants. Sometimes the work is heavy, like cutting down weeds and rebuilding stone walls. It's rewarding, though! One visitor was challenged to provide a stream crossing, to connect pathways on both sides. After several days' hard effort and determination from her and the rest of the group, there was a footbridge in place which they were able to cross. At the end of a week's holiday, they all stood on the bridge to have their photo taken above the stream. It was a great achievement, a break from the usual 95 routine, and a big “plus” for the environment.
12. According to the writer, what do people want during their adventure
A. enjoyment B. relaxation
C. protection D. achievement
13. From the third paragraph we can learn that______.
A．people can be offered a job on their eco-tour
B. people who are offered eco-work are paid by the hour
C. people feel it rewarding to join in eco-tourism projects
D. people can find interesting eco-tourism project only in England
14. The underlined phrase “a big ‘plus’” means______.
A. a great contribution B. great progress
C. one great step D. a pleasant thing
15. The following projects belong to eco-tourism EXCEPT______.
A. to build a little wood bridge which is convenient for tourists
B. to help rebuild the damaged walls
C. to make some signs telling tourists how to protect animals and environment
D. to take a stone or a rare plant away as a reminder
第二节：(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Good student－teacher relationships result from the choices that are made even before school, and how those choices are carried out on a daily basis. Here are a few tips to make this process easier for both parties.
__16__
For the teacher, this means that they need to look at each student from the perspective(角度) of what that student could learn, rather than what that student learned last week or last year. For the student, this means that they need to enter the classroom every day with the willingness to trust the teacher to help them understand. __17__Every school day there are new opportunities to learn new information or to understand subjects that might have been difficult in the past.
__18__
This is not to say that you have to “buy” the affections(关爱) of the student or the teacher，but you can give the gift of a smile，the gift of attention in class，or the gift of eye contact. Giving this type of gift always helps to build strong relationships.
Demand the best.
__19__ We can trust friends to keep us responsible and when developing good student－teacher relationships，the same principle of trust applies. Setting high expectations always pushes us to be our best，and when both the student and the teacher are pushing the other for more depth, more wisdom(智慧), more insight(洞察力), etc，then both the student and the teacher will give more.
To develop a good student－teacher relationship，both the student and the teacher must be willing to decide to do these things daily. Each day，they must be willing to try again and work on the relationship. __20__
A．Buy gifts for teachers.
B．Focus on the positive.
C．Give gifts to one another.
D．We can always learn a lot from our teachers.
E．Future learning is never limited by past experiences.
F. Good relationships are always founded on honesty and high expectations.
G．The most important thing is to trust the relationship to benefit each of the members.

第二部分 英语知识运用
第一节：完形填空
21．解析：根据下文的“sleep?walking”可知他们还没有睡醒，由此判断时间是在凌晨四点钟，hour指“小时”，符合句意。point应该与介词on搭配；strike表示“敲钟”；times指“次数”。
答案：B
22．解析：从下文第七段的“our flight”可知，他们是要乘坐飞机去纽约。

23．解析：由下文的“we were sleep?walking”和“It was a quiet...”可知，此时两人的心情非常平静。因此选C项。
答案：C
24．解析：动词pick与up构成短语才有“开车接某人”之意；fetch是“去拿来”；draw是指“拖，拉”，均与语境不符。只有collect有“去取，接”之意。
答案：A
25．解析：drive作名词用时，一般指自己驾车；experience“经历”；travel“长途旅行”都与语境不符；ride指乘车的短途旅程。此处指乘出租车到机场的这段路程。
答案：D
26．解析：动词短语pull in指“车进站或者开到路边停下”；push in指“插队”；hurry in指“赶快进来”；drag in指“把……扯进来”。由“the taxi”可知，此处选A项。

答案：A

答案：B
29．解析：A和B项均与上下文语境不符；cheat一般指考试作弊或者欺骗。通过上下文，此处应该表示“你在开玩笑吧”之意。
答案：C
30．解析：因为他总是爱开玩笑，所以她才认为他说的不是真的。
答案：B
31．解析：此处作者在推卸自己的责任，说丈夫“很蠢”，意思是“他不应该把行李忘在家里”。
答案：B
32．解析：根据上文可知，作者认为她的丈夫应主动去搬行李，因此本句话的意思是：搬行李这样的事一直应当由你做。be supposed to do “被期望应该做某事”。
答案：D
33．解析：根据上下文的语意判断，前后两句话之间是递进关系。
答案：A
34．解析：既然回去拿行李是要耽搁时间的，所以很可能会错过他们要乘坐的班机。
答案：D
35．解析：上面几句都是在责怪丈夫，本句却说没有大声说出来，上下文之间有转折关系，因此应选though。
答案：C
36．解析：此处指作者通过上面这件事，说明自己很难接受那是自己的错，不能勇敢地承担起应该承担的责任。
答案：C
37．解析：本句话的意思是说“评价自己的最好方式是通过别人的眼睛”。介词through表示“通过……方式”。
答案：B
38．解析：由下文可知，他们回家拿了行李包再次赶到机场，还是赶上了飞机，所以他们应该是乘坐出租车匆匆忙忙回家的。
答案：D
39．解析：动词spare表示“能够腾出来的时间”。如果是leave应该是用过去分词形式，并且前面不应该有to；选项B、D语义不通。
答案：A
40．解析：作者并没有因此事而埋怨她的丈夫，所以作者应该是为自己的做法感到十分自豪。
答案：A

第三部分写作
Dear Jane，
I would like to give you my opinion about being on the Internet.
More and more middle school students here are starting using the Internet, through which they can get a great deal of the latest information. They can enjoy lessons given by the best teachers of net?schools at home. And it is easy and convenient to keep in touch with friends by sending and receiving e－mails. On the other hand, some students have spent too much time chatting and playing games on the net. And there is something harmful to the students. At last, I suggest that students should be good at using the Internet for their studies but not be online for long.
Yours，
Zhang Ming
