C. show D. showing
答案与解析 B 此题考查谓语动词的选择。因主语headmaster是单数，故可排除A、C两项，而本句需要的是谓语动词，showing是非谓语动词，故选B项。show/conduct sb. around是固定搭配，意为“带领某人参观……”。

A. stare at; glare at B. look; gaze at

11．— Can the project be finished as planned?

You ask me about my hometown, so now I'd like to tell you something about it. I live in Brighton, which is not a very big town. It has a population of around 300,000. It is on the coast about 50 miles from London. Of course it isn't as interesting as London or Paris. But the air is a lot cleaner and better. There is little population there. There are a few factories in Brighton, but not many. It isn't very easy to find a job there. My father used to work in a steel plant which shut down a year ago and my father lost his job. But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in the town. In summer the town is full of travelers. My father decides to open a small shop to sell gifts. But he is short of money. He hopes that he can borrow some money from the bank.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
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
Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had no legs but stumps that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man” because his arms practically dragged on the ground.
Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him that even stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt himself to go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs. Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be—full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.
Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War Ⅱ came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.
21．Why did the children laugh at Hank and call him “Ape Man”？
A. He was born without legs like an “Ape Man”．
B. He dragged his artificial arms on the ground.
C. He had to move on the ground in a strange way.
D. He had no legs but wore a kind of special boots.
答案与解析 C 根据文章第一段最后一句话的内容可以看出，选项C的意思与文章陈述一致。
22．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the Red Cross ________.
A. was only too glad to receive Hank Viscardi as a clerk
B. gave Hank Viscardi a job owing to his artificial legs
C. refused to give Hank Viscardi a job at the beginning
D. had never employed a man like Hank Viscardi before
答案与解析 C 根据上文描写：Hank Viscardi身有残疾，而最后他是talked into(说服)红十字会接受他的，可见刚开始他因有残疾遭到了拒绝。
23．The writer suggests that Hank Viscardi was ________.
A. a simple man with great achievements
B. a disabled man with great determination

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences (影响) health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ (智商) of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August)．
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃， people become stronger.
Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.
24．People may have more intelligence when ________ comes.
A. a rain B. very hot weather
C. a strong wind D. low air pressure
答案与解析 C 第三段中“The wind can help people have more intelligence.”说的就是这个意思。
25．Low air pressure may make people ________.
A. forgetful B. sad
C. angry D. tired
答案与解析 A 答案在第五段第一句“Low air pressure may make people forgetful.”中。
26．In “good weather” of 18 centigrade, ________.
A. people are very forgetful
B. people can't do their work well
C. thin people feel cold
D. people are in better health
答案与解析 D 由第五段最后一句话“People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade.”一句可知。
27．The writer wants to tell us that ________.
A. hot and cold weather influences all people in the same way
B. weather influences people's lives
C. IQ never changes during weather changes
D. there is a good kind of weather for people's work and health
答案与解析 B 根据文章最后的“Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.”这一句，我们可以推测出作者的写作意图是告诉我们天气变化会影响人们的生活。
C

D
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
32．We don't know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes
B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses
D. we have to do much reading
答案与解析 B 本题较简单，答案在第一段有明确提示。
33．According to the passage, a ________is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. tailor B. doctor
C. guard D. painter
答案与解析 A 根据第二段叙述可知“do a lot of close work”的人易得近视，故本题选A项。
34．People who are farsighted ________.
A. can only do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm's length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
答案与解析 D A、B两项是在描述近视的人的状况，排除。C项与文意不符，故也排除。得远视的人和近视的人都需要戴眼镜才能看清楚，D项正确。
35．To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________.
A. with wide open eyes
B. with half shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it
D. in a slightly different direction
答案与解析 D 根据最后一段第三、四句话可推出D项正确。

● Practice, practice, and practice.
After you have set your goals, you have a better idea of what you need to practice. Just like the athlete whose goal is the Olympics must train daily, you as a language learner must practice language every day to make progress toward your goal. __40__

答案与解析
41．B 玛丽把孩子们(孤儿们)从孤独中解救出来，给他们一个欢笑、关爱(love)和有归宿感的世界。第四段最后一句有提示。
42．A 由短文可知，玛丽是给孤儿们寻找愿意收养他们的新家，因此是为child寻找家，而不是parent和family，D项用在此处意义不对。
43．D 句意：这变成了玛丽的一种传统。change“改变”，keep“保持”，break“打破”在此均与句意不符。
44．A 由下文可知，该男子二十年前曾被收养，现在长大成人自己也要收养孩子，因此说他是一个“新”爸爸。
45．C 句意：在他说话以前，他把手伸到外衣口袋里。因此可知选C项。
46．B 他掏出了那朵二十年前玛丽送给他的红色的纸玫瑰。由于年头太久，纸玫瑰褪色了，但该男孩一直珍藏，因此A项不对，C、D两项不符合多年保存及纸折花的特点。
47．D 二十年前，该男子被收养之前，肯定也是孤独无助，helpless“无助的”，符合孤儿的特点。
48．A 句意：养父母让我知道了被爱的感觉。由下一句话可知，此处是谈论父母对子女的关爱，因此选A项。
49．D 此句表示“他们不仅无条件地爱着我”。unconditionally意思是“无条件地”。
50．A 句意：而且还为我打开了一个我以前不知道存在的、充满了无限可能的新世界。happen“发生”，spend“花费”，disappear“消失”都不符合句意。
51．D 养父母鼓励我努力追求自己的梦想(dream)。根据倒数第三段最后一句可知答案。
52．C 该男子为能收养一个孩子而感到自豪，因此选C项。若选lucky，则应该是被给予一个机会，因此可排除。
53．A 该男子想给和自己有着一样人生开端的小孩一个机会。四个选项中只有A项符合句意。
54．A 由下文可知玛丽又送给了他一朵新的玫瑰。B、C、D三项均不符合句意。
55．B replace“代替”，symbolize“象征”，equal“等于”，create“创造”。新玫瑰象征着一个新的春天，而不是代替、等于、创造。
56．D 希望被收养的小孩有一个美好的新开始。A、B、C三项意义与上下文不符合。
57．A remind“提醒”，指玛丽送给我的花时刻提醒我要给小女孩无条件的爱。
58．C 正是这样的玫瑰花把两个人的生活联系(ties)在了一起。fix“安装”，close“终止”，gather“集合”，不合句意。
59．D 一个简短的事件能够使我们情绪激昂，也能使我们“静静地”思考新的开始。in quiet“在安静中、静静地”。
60．A 此处构成转折关系，强调后面的内容只能用yet，其他三项语义与本句不符。

范文
Dear Mike，
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in our school. In short, things have been improving since the school began to carry on exploring study. In the past, the teachers always kept on explaining the points in class. We students just listened and took notes. But now we often discuss and try to solve the problems raised by the teachers or ourselves. After class, we enjoy different kinds of activities instead of doing endless homework. For example, we can read what we are interested in. We can go to the library or surf the Internet for various kinds of information.
In a word, we are now masters of study, and we are happy.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
