When Katie Stagliano grew a 40-pound cabbage，she didn’t know that she was beginning to develop a dream as well.When the 10-year-old girl from Summerville，South Carolina realized how much cabbage was in her garden，she decided to donate it to needy families by working with Fields to Families，a non-profit organization based in South Carolina that gives the hungry access to nutritious fruit and vegetables.
Katie’s cabbage fed nearly 300 people and inspired her to learn more about childhood hunger in the United States.On discovering that more than 12 million kids in the United States go to bed hungry each night，Katie decided to take action.
Her first task was to work together with her family to expand their own garden so that they could donate more vegetables to needy families.But beyond her own backyard，she wanted to teach other children how to get involved.To grow her idea，she started the planting of a garden at her school，which also donates its fresh produce to local food agencies.Through a generous donation from Fields to Families，Katie’s school is receiving seeds and volunteer help，and Katie will get the chance to work there with a master gardener as her teacher!
Katie also designed her very own“No Hungry Children！” T-shirt，which is available for purchase online.A part of the proceeds from her T-shirt sales economically supports Katie’s efforts，as well as the work of Amazing Kids，a non-profit organization that focuses on the dreams of kids like Katie.
“I think it is important to have something to strive for，”says Katie.“By planting a garden or just some seeds in a pot you can make a difference.My cabbage alone fed 275 people.If more kids did the same，we all could be helping to make a long-time dream of no hungry people possible.”
1．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Katie Stagliano，a girl full of dreams
B．Everyone can make a success
C．Ten-year-old Katie Stagliano fights against hunger
D．American hungry children in need of help

A．experiences B．profits
C．ideas D．friends
4．According to the last paragraph，Katie hopes that ________.
A．she can grow more cabbage in her garden

About 10 years ago I was having my annual holiday party，and my niece had come with her new MBA boyfriend.As he looked around the room，he noted that my employees seemed happy.Then，I asked him how he thought I did that.“I’m sure you treat them well，” he replied.“That’s half of it，”I said.“Do you know what the other half is？”
He didn’t have the answer.So what is the answer？I fired the unhappy people.People usually laugh at this point.I wish I were joking.I’m not.I have learned the long，hard and frustrating way that as a manager you cannot make everyone happy.Good management requires training，consulting and patience.
Don’t get me wrong.This doesn’t happen a lot.There’s no joy in the act of firing someone.And it’s not always the employee’s fault—there are many bad bosses out there.And sometimes people who would be great employees somewhere else just don’t fit your company.I don’t have a PhD，an MBA，or even an economics degree.What I do have is a happy company.Now I know some people argue that business is about making money，and not everyone has to be happy.Everyone has a right to his or her opinion.When you own a company，you also have the right to surround yourself with the people you choose.
All in all，I had a good day today.Not because I got a big order or great financial reports.I have wonderful people working for me.They care.They are committed.They understand the whole customer-staff-company triangle，where all of the legs support each other.
If you read books on great companies，they usually leave out a dirty little secret.It doesn’t make for good public relations.What is also true is that it’s hard to build a great company with the wrong people.When you have the right people，business is much easier.I know because I have tried it.
1．Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A．He often fired the happy employees 10 years ago.
B．He had a good day today because he got a big order.
C．He received a good education in economics.
D．He held his holiday party every year.
2．Why did the employees seem happy?
A．Because the author treated them well and could make them happy.
B．Because they were optimistic people and happy all the time.
C．Because the author had happy people working for him and treated them well.
D．Because everyone had to pretend to be happy in order not to be fired.
3．If one wants to make his company to be a great one，he should ________.
A．enjoy firing his unhappy employees
B．believe business is only about making money
C．employ good employees who are fit for his company
D．follow the books on great companies
4．What can we learn from the text?
A．The author managed his company very well.
B．The man had been in love with the author’s niece for long before he came to the party.
C．The books on great companies usually tell their secrets.
D．It’s easy to build a great company with the wrong people.

We are going to describe one way to build a rooftop garden that does not even require soil.Four things are needed for a small rooftop garden.One thing is a roof that can support the weight，another is grass cutting.The third thing is a sheet of plastic in which to spread the cut grass.And the last thing is a box about eight centimeters deep and made out of four pieces of wood.
Once you are sure the roof is good，cut and collect some grass.Then lay down the plastic where the garden box will go.The four-sided box can be as long and as wide as needed.Place the box on top of the sheet of plastic.Then fill it with the cut grass.Next，add water and walk on the cuttings to press them down.
After about three weeks，the rooftop garden is ready for planting.Put the seeds directly into the wet grass cuttings.This garden is a good place to grow peas，tomatoes，beans，onions and lettuce.If the box is deep enough，potatoes and carrots will also grow.
It is important to keep the grass wet until the plants begin to grow.When the plants are growing，they will need watering every day，unless there is rain.And they will need some liquid fertilizer.Also，seeds and new plants must be protected from insects and birds.
Rooftop gardens are increasingly popular，and not just to grow vegetables.They keep buildings cooler in the sun，so they save energy.They can also extend the useful life of a roof.Rooftop gardens also reduce the run-off of storm water and help clean the air，plus the add beauty，and give birds and insects in the city a nice place to live.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
Throughout the history of the arts，the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter what objects they select，artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie，one of the new American realists，continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole，a romanticist，had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature，Leslie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings，there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of colour photography (摄影术) to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides，all art begs the age-old question：What is real？Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects，the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes，and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up，understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years，the fun_ction of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present，Eastern or Western，the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art，and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
56．The underlined word “poetry” most probably means________.
A．an object for artistic creation
B．a collection of poems
C．an unusual quality
D．a natural scene
57．Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because________.
A．they are close in style to works in ancient times
B．they look like works by 19th-century painters
C．they draw attention to common things in life
D．they depend heavily on colour photography
58．What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?
A．It will not be found in future works of art.
B．It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D．It is lacking in modern works of art.
59．What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?
A．They express people’s curiosity about the past.
B．They make people interested in everyday experience.
C．They are considered important for variety in form.
D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
B

Every morning a woman baked Chapati，a kind of Indian flatbread，for her family and an extra one for a hungry passer-by.She would always place the extra Chapati on the windowsill (窗台)，for whoever needed to eat it.
She noticed a hunchback (驼背的人) came every day and took the extra Chapati.Instead of expressing thanks，he would murmur the following words as he went on his way，“The evil you do remains with you.The good you do comes back to you！”This went on day after day.The woman felt very angry.
One day，she decided to do away with him.She added poison to the Chapati she prepared for him！As she was about to place it on the windowsill，her hands trembled.Immediately，she threw the Chapati into the fire，prepared another one and put it on the sill.As usual，the hunchback came，picked up the Chapati and murmured the same words.
Every day，as the woman placed the Chapati on the windowsill，she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.For many months she had no news of him and she always prayed for his safe return.
That evening，there was a knock on the door.As she opened it，she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.He was hungry and weak.He said，“Mom，it’s a miracle I’m here.While I was but a mile away，I was so famished that I collapsed.I would have died，but just then an old hunchback passed by.He was kind enough to give me a whole Chapati.He said，‘This is what I eat every day.Today，I shall give it to you，for your need is greater than mine！’”
The mother’s face turned pale immediately.She remembered the poisoned Chapati that she had made that morning.Had she not burnt it in the fire，it would have been eaten by her son and he would have lost his life!
It was then that she realized the significance of the words，“The evil you do remains with you.The good you do comes back to you！”
64．Why did the woman want to get rid of the hunchback?
A．Because he took her son away.
B．Because he said something unpleasant to her.
C．Because he stole the Chapati she made for the passer-by.
D．Because he didn’t show any gratitude to her.
65．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “famished” in Paragraph 5?
A．Pleased. B．Upset.

Measles(麻疹)is one of the most infectious viruses known.It spreads through the air when people infected with the disease cough or sneeze.Children in wealthier countries are usually vaccinated to protect against measles.
An international campaign called the Measles Initiative was launched 2001 to vaccinate children in developing countries.The aim was a 50 percent reduction in deaths related to measles by 2005.
Last week，organizers of the Measles Initiative announced that the final numbers showed a 60 percent drop in deaths.In 1999，the year used for comparison，there were 873,000 deaths.Six years later that number had dropped to 345,000.The organizers say more than two million lives have been saved，mostly in Africa.Health officials report a 75 percent drop in deaths in Africa connected to measles.
Measles itself is usually not a direct cause of death.Deaths are commonly the result of infections like pneumonia or severe diarrhea(腹泻)．Those who survive can suffer brain damage，blindness or other disabilities.
The first sign of infection is usually a high body temperature for as long as a week.Patients may develop a runny nose，cough，red and watery eyes and white spots inside the mouth.After several days，a skin rash develops，first usually on the face and upper neck.
A case of measles can be just a mild and unpleasant part of childhood.But severe cases are more likely in children with poor diets or weakened defenses from conditions like HIV/AIDS.
Children under the age of 5 and adults over the age of 20 are more likely to suffer severe cases.People who recover from measles can never get it again.
68．Which of the following is TRUE about the international campaign of the Measles Initiative?
A．It aims to reduce the death rate related to measles in wealthier countries.
B．The campaign has proved a success because the death rate has dropped by 60 percent.
C．The international campaign was started in 1999，which was also taken for comparison.
D．The death rate in Africa has dropped to 75 percent due to the international campaign.
69.What do we know about measles?
A．Measles may lead to the loss of eyesight.
B．Measles can usually lead to death directly.
C．Measles can cause pneumonia or severe diarrhea.
D．Measles may attack a child under 5 frequently.
70．All the following can be the symptom of measles EXCEPT________.
A．runny nose B．cough
C．high temperature D．pneumonia
71．It can be concluded that________.
A．teenagers will not have any chance to get infected with measles
B．children who are well fed will never get measles
C．people who have strong defenses are not likely to suffer measles
D．adults are more likely to recover from the measles

Michelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity (肥胖) with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat.Clearly，childhood obesity must be solved urgently.But is it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets?
Studies show that the more children diet，the more likely they are to become obese as adults.Research also shows that girls are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes to eating habits and body images.
This was the case for Carly,40，who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight.“My mother was on a diet the whole time when I was growing up，” she says.“And she put me on my first diet when I was 10.I lost puppy fat，gained her approval and never ate normally again.”
America’s First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to convey.But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha？Could they develop eating disorders because of it?
“It’s wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters’ eating disorders，” says Susan Ringwood，chief executive of the eating disorders charity，Beat.“There is a genetic (基因的) component to eating disorders.However，we do know that parents have a very strong influence over a child’s eating.It’s important to realize that you are your daughter’s role model.Girls idolize their mothers.” says Ringwood.
“No food should ever be ‘good’ or ‘bad’，” Ringwood says，“Instead，you have to make it clear that food is a sociable，healthy and fun part of life，not something to be feared.”
“Talk to her about body image，” Ringwood says.“Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman.Show her that anorexic (厌食的) fashion models are not sexy，but ill.The pressure on girls today is immense，” she says.“But don’t forget that you are the authoritative voice，too.”
72．Michelle Obama has started a campaign to ________.
A．solve childhood obesity across the country
B．attract the attention of the world
C．show her First Lady identity
D．please the public
73．The author mentions Carly in Paragraph 3 to show that ________.
A．mothers have a great influence on girls’ eating habits
B．the more you diet，the more weight you will put on
C．mothers are to blame for the unbalanced diet
D．side effects of dieting are hard to avoid
74．According to Ringwood，________.
A．food is considered something fearful
B．food can be recognized as “good” or “bad”
C．only slim mothers are role models of their daughters
D．eating disorders have something to do with genetic component
75．The passage tells us that ________.
A．mothers’ lead is of great importance
B．daughters are victims of mothers’ authority
C．dieting teenagers can’t turn into obese adults
D．experts have arguments about eating disorders

第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The modern Olympic Games were founded with the intention of improving health and education，promoting world peace and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years，the Olympic famous saying，“Faster，higher，stronger”，has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.
Doctors，engineers and coaches all use everything science can offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason why modern technology has become part of sport is very simple：Winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the Olympics of ancient Greece.
Development in technology has often been reflected in the methods of training and performance used at the Olympics through history. This technology falls into two main groups：improving an athlete’s performance in competition，and allowing results to be measured more accurately.
One of the creations that have drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo，which was used by most US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000，it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit，the faster the swimmer would travel.
“However，the fact that at the Sydney Olympics,28 of the 33 gold medalists were wearing the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory was out of date，” said Andy Thomas，vice-president of Speedo.
The company’s full body suit is supposed to make swimmers 3 to 4 percent faster，particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water resistance as it moves，behaving more like a shark skin than a human skin.
The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports，from the 100-metre sprint (短跑) to the pole vault (撑杆跳高)，can now train more effectively and nourish (给……以营养) their bodies better.
Meanwhile，scientific development also means performances can be measured and studied far more accurately. Not only are winning times more accurately recorded，but cheating athletes are also easier to catch out. According to International Olympic Committee (IOC) requirements，two independent measuring systems should be used at all venues (比赛地点). Athens 2004 organizers used only the very latest equipment to measure distance and speed.
What matters most in Olympics？
Its 77.________ “Faster，higher，stronger” is pushing scientists and athletes as
78．________ to do whatever is possible to reach new levels.
76.________ is the most important thing at the modern Olympic Games.

High-tech swimsuit from Speedo can make swimmers 3% to 4% faster when 80.________ or diving into water and was worn by some gold 81.________ at the modern Olympics.

Growing up is not always easy.When facing difficulties，courage and a spirit of independence can be more useful than crying for help！That’s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of a boy growing to a man while dealing with family hardships tells us.
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County，Henan Province.When he was only 11 years old，his father became mentally ill and one day came back with an abandoned baby girl.A year later，Hong’s mother and younger brother both left home because of poverty and pressure from his sick father.
The burdens of the family fell onto his 12-year-old’s shoulders.He had to treat his father’s illness，bring up the adopted sister Chenchen，and go on with his study.But Hong never gave up.From a young age，he has taken some part-time jobs to feed his family.Years later，he began to study at college.To take care of Chenchen，he worked hard to rent a room near his campus to send her to school.Hong’s story shows that with love and will power，no hardship can defeat a person.So when facing difficulties，don’t complain about bad luck.Consider what more you could do for your family and society and you’ll find the world smiling back.

Dear Tom，
I’m glad to send an E-mail to you that I’m getting more and more interested in English.
However，in the past，I thought learning English meant learning grammar rules and words by heart only. I didn’t like to read or speak English，nor was I willing to practice talking with my classmates in English.
Now，with my English teacher’s help，I have realized that we learn to speak English by speaking as we learn to sing by singing. I have begun to enjoy speaking English and communicating with my classmates. I often read some new articles or look up some information on the Internet. As a result，I have become more and more interested in English and have made great progress.
To learn English better，I will spend more time on it and try to make greater progress.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming
