I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life.

Suddenly I had to ____66____ my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I felt my anger at my brother. The poor baby didn’t know what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange—I was the only person in his house who did not like him.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember anything of that day six years ago, ____68____ I remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely free from my mind, reached through the bars（护栏）. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched ____69____. And that was all I need. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（ 12分）
Almost everyone shares the same daily routine（例行公事）: beginning the day by reading the newspaper, then going off to work and then returning home tired and ready for bed. Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults, but their lives are pretty similar. Most people, young or old, can’t find the time or energy to relax and enjoy the day. Luckily, music is here to help us forget our worries and feel peaceful. Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax. Music is also good because it can teach us something about different languages and cultures and all around the world. Everyone likes music and every country has a history of music to be proud of. From birth to death, we have music along with us. Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives. Modern studies show that relaxing music can do good to our bodies in some way as hard exercise does. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, said that some kinds of music could change behavior patterns. Listening to the sounds of music can make us relax ourselves. Music can help people communicate and express their feelings. Every day people enjoy songs on the radio because the songs reflect（反映）their feelings inside. Lovers need love songs for each other. As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings. A sad day can be made happy with the help of music. Sometimes when we feel angry we need angry music to make us feel better. Music can also help people remember something. School children are taught to sing songs about colors, animals and letters to help them memorize new words and concepts（概念）. Music can change people’s lives in unimaginable ways.
78．Do the young and the old have the same daily routine
______________________________________________.
79．What can music please, the ear or the heart

80．According to the passage, what can add peace to people’s lives

【原文】Betty teaches Physics at a university four times a week. Today, at the beginning of the class, she asked her students happily how their weekend had been. One student said it was awful because he had his bad tooth pulled out. He then asked why Betty always seemed to be so happy. Betty thought for a while and began to tell them about her weekend. Betty’s mother is ill in hospital these days, so she goes there to take care of her after class. Last Friday, after giving lessons to the students, she drove to the hospital. The hospital is 16 miles away from the university. When she was still several miles away from the hospital, her car broke down. So she walked to the hospital and arrived there a bit later than usual. Betty told her mother that her car had broken down, but this was her lucky day. Her mother didn’t understand why. Betty explained, “My working place is 16 miles away from the hospital. My car didn’t break down far away from here. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place within walking distance from here. I’m still able to see you, mum.” After hearing that, her mother smiled.
Betty looked at her students’ faces after telling the story. Although it was a morning class, no one seemed to be sleepy. Her story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all. It was her happiness that had touched them.

【原文】Dear Tom,
Thanks for your letter. It’s great to hear from you. You asked me to tell you about my favourite day of the week. Well, it’s Friday!
One reason is that I have my favourite subjects on Friday. I have science class in the morning and PE class in the afternoon. Science is interesting and our teacher is very kind. In PE class, I usually play basketball. Many players in our team play so well that we often win.
Another reason is that I can relax a bit on Friday evenings. After school, I like going to the library. I read at least one book every week. I often go to the movies with my best friend on Friday evenings. But sometimes I go to his house and have dinner with his family.
Tell me about your favourite day in your next letter. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love
Jerry
Part 2 Grammar and Vocabulary（第二部分语法和词汇）
II. Choose the best answer （选择最恰当的答案） （本大题共 15题，每题1分，共15分。每题只有一个正确选项）
21．Which of the following underlined parts is different in pronunciation from the others
A．amount B．touch C．shouted D．found
【答案】B
【详解】句意：下面哪个带下划线的部分在发音上与其他部分不同？
考查语音知识。amount、shouted和found划线字母发音是[a ]，touch划线部分发音是[ ]。所以划线部分发音与其他单词不同的是touch。故选B。
22．What he said is right in ________ way.
A．the B．a C．another D．other
【答案】B
【详解】句意：他说的在某种程度上是对的。
考查介词短语。in the way妨碍；in a way在某种程度上；in another way另一方面；in other way错误搭配。根据“What he said is right in … way”可知，此处指在某种程度上是对的，故选B。
23．Everybody should do his best to fight ________ pollution.
A．for B．to C．with D．against
【答案】D
【详解】句意：每个人都应该尽最大努力与污染作斗争。
考查介词的辨析。fight for为......战斗；fight with和......一起战斗(奋斗)，用......反对；fight against和......作斗争，反对......，这里指的是和污染作斗争。故选D。
24．Mr. Smith as well as I ________ dinner at 6:30 p.m. yesterday.
A．is having B．are having C．was having D．were having
【答案】C
【详解】句意：昨天下午6点30分，我和史密斯先生正在吃晚饭。
考查过去进行时和主谓一致。根据时间状语“at 6:30 p.m. yesterday”可知讲述的是某个过去的具体时刻，句子应用现在时，其谓语结构为：was/were+doing。根据“as well as I”可知，as well as表示“和；除……之外（也）”，连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词的数与离它最远的主语保持一致，主语Mr. Smith是第三人称单数，因此be动词用was。故选C。
25．All his friends encouraged him ________ part in the speaking competition.
A．take B．taking C．to take D．took
【答案】C
【详解】句意：他所有的朋友都鼓励他参加演讲比赛。
考查非谓语。encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故选C。
26．—________ I repair the fridge now
—No.You ________ switch off the electricity first.
A．Must; may B．May; must C．Can; may D．Must; need
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——我现在可以修冰箱吗？——不。你必须先关掉电源。
考查情态动词辨析。must必须；may可以；can能；need需要。分析句子可知想表达“我现在可以修冰箱吗？”应用May。分析第二空可知想表达“你必须先关掉电源”应用must。故选B。
27．I wonder what the woman tourist means ________ saying that to the old lady angrily.
A．for B．by C．with D．to
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我想知道这个女游客气愤的对那位老人说的那些话是什么意思。
考查介词辨析。for为了；by通过（表示方式）；with和（表示伴随）；to到、向……。mean by...意为“意思是……”。故选B。
28．— ________ will he be back
— In a week.
A．How long B．How soon C．How often D．How many
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——他多久后会回来？——一周后。
考查特殊疑问句。How long多长；How soon 多久后；How often多久一次；How many多少个。根据下文“一周后”可知上文提问未来时间，故选B。
29．She could ________ see the hole in the wall because it was too dark.
A．almost B．nearly C．always D．hardly
【答案】D
【详解】句意：因为天太黑了，她几乎不能看见墙上的洞。
考查副词的辨析。almost几乎；nearly几乎；always总是；hardly几乎不。根据“because it was too dark”可知，应该“几乎不”能看见墙上的洞。故选D。
30．My mum often warns me ________ in the river.
A．swim B．to swim C．swimming D．not to swim
【答案】D
【详解】句意：我妈妈经常警告我不要在河里游泳。
考查动词不定式作宾语补足语。swim游泳，动词原形；to swim游泳，动词不定式；swimming游泳，动名词；not to swim不去游泳，动词不定式的否定形式。根据“warns me”和“in the river”可知此处应用动词短语warn sb not to do表示“警告某人不要做某事”。故选D。
31．Could you tell me when ________
A．the scientist will arrive
B．the scientist would arrive
C．will the scientist arrive
D．would the scientist arrive
【答案】A
【详解】句意：你能告诉我这位科学家什么时候到吗？
考查宾语从句。题干“Could you do... ”句型是表有礼貌的请求，并非过去时态，因此后面的宾语从句用一般将来时，排除BD两项。宾语从句用陈述语序，故选A。
32．—Which camera do you like better, the home-made or the imported
—________. The home-made is too small while the imported is too expensive.
A．Both B．All C．None D．Neither
【答案】D

The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil.

They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.
The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（ 12分）
Almost everyone shares the same daily routine（例行公事）: beginning the day by reading the newspaper, then going off to work and then returning home tired and ready for bed. Younger people in school or college may have a different routine from adults, but their lives are pretty similar. Most people, young or old, can’t find the time or energy to relax and enjoy the day. Luckily, music is here to help us forget our worries and feel peaceful. Besides being pleasant to the ear, music can help us relax. Music is also good because it can teach us something about different languages and cultures and all around the world. Everyone likes music and every country has a history of music to be proud of. From birth to death, we have music along with us. Music, like all forms of art, is another way to add peace to our lives. Modern studies show that relaxing music can do good to our bodies in some way as hard exercise does. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician, said that some kinds of music could change behavior patterns. Listening to the sounds of music can make us relax ourselves. Music can help people communicate and express their feelings. Every day people enjoy songs on the radio because the songs reflect（反映）their feelings inside. Lovers need love songs for each other. As much as music expresses feelings, it can also change feelings. A sad day can be made happy with the help of music. Sometimes when we feel angry we need angry music to make us feel better. Music can also help people remember something. School children are taught to sing songs about colors, animals and letters to help them memorize new words and concepts（概念）. Music can change people’s lives in unimaginable ways.

How to protect our Mother Earth
In the last few years, we have been faced with serious environmental problems, such as global warming, air pollution and energy shortage. I think it is time for us to take action to protect our Mother Earth.
